Needless to say, second period was interesting. The drama escalated when the announcement from Even came through the PA, calling Henry out. Some murmurs were heard throughout the class before Lis and then Dylan walked out. The teacher looked quite annoyed and somehow managed to keep everyone else in their seats. Everyone else seemed like they wanted to go see the fight, but they were going to have to wait to see the results. 'I guess Joe did know what he was talking about.' Zeke made a mental note to ask Joe everything he knew about Henry at lunch.
Once the bell rang, people flooded into the hallway, already talking about the announcement and if Henry actually went to fight. As Zeke walked through the hallway, towards social studies, he noticed a group standing a bit away from everyone else. However, it was more like everyone was trying to stay away from them. It wasn't just any group, it had a few kids that usually hung around Henry. They weren't his main goons but they were in pretty close contact with him. As Zeke walked closer to listen to what they were talking about, it became apparent that the tallest one had seen what happened. Zeke nearly jumped out of shoes when someone patted him on the shoulder. "Zeke, what are you doing?" It was Joe, seemingly trying to stop him. "I-I got this. We'll talk at lunch." Zeke said before pushing Joe's hand off his should before walking up to the group.
"Yo." Zeke calmly greeted the group as he walked up to them. He casually chewed on his gum as he watched their reaction. They all stopped talking and turned to face him. "Well look who it is. It's been awhile Zeke." One of the jocks stated, cracking his knuckles. Zeke grinned at their reaction. "Well... I just wanted to check up on some old friends, especially after what just happened. We all know that the administrators and the students involved aren't going to speak about it." Zeke paused for a second, giving them a chance to react. The tallest one seemed to know where Zeke was going with this and chuckled a bit before becoming serious. "Back off. Henry doesn't want anyone to know about what happened. It's only between him and the others. Now back off!" The taller when stated, raising his fists. Zeke raised his eyebrow at the word 'others', but he decided not to question it. "Alright guys! Calm down. I was just asking, but you don't have to tell me now. Besides, I got social studies so I'm going to go now." Zeke said, quickly glancing over to tall one before turning around and slowly walking away. As he walked away, he could hear some mumbling going on between the group. "There's only a few kids that must not know this information. "Zeke, Lawrence..." Zeke didn't get to hear the rest as he had walked to far. 'Lawrence, who's that?' Zeke wondered as he walked into social studies. He was a bit disappointed to find that most of the seats were taken.
Meanwhile, the tallest jock watched as the rest of the group walked away. He gulped knowing that he also had social studies and Zeke, Laura, and Lis were also in the class. Luckily he wasn't well known, so hopefully those two wouldn't notice him but Zeke on the other hand... He just hoped he didn't have to partner up with any of them.
