Stuck In The Box: The Dawning Of Life

Chapter 7: We Can Work It Out

The next day, the Wild Boys went back into their normal lives. They are now walking through the halls and talking to each other. "So Halarge was great but there's nothing greater than being home," Fletch said. "Yeah, I agree," Kirk said. "Wait a second, how long were we in the backrooms and then Halarge?" Adam asked. "I have a day tracker on my watch so we were there for five days, it's now Wednesday," Nicky said. "Great, we gotta head to the music room today," Curt said. The Wild Boys ran to the music room only to see a blonde flirtatious girl. Kim immediately grew disgusted by her because she was in her cheer squad and knew she couldn't trust her. "Who are you?" Hutch asked. The girl then approached Hutch which made him uncomfortable.

"Call me Paula," Paula said. The girls then huddled together just like during their cheerleading routine. "If I'm being honest, that girl doesn't give me good vibes," Kim said. "Why's that?" Susanna said. "That's Paula Yates, she used to be in my cheer squad but she rarely comes into practice because, well, all she's doing is flirting with boys," Kim said. "Yeah, and you know Katrina? She was also here but she quit because Paula was flirting with her boyfriend at the time, Vince," Keren said. "Well, Katrina is bisexual so," Kate said. "Oh and remember Evie? She had a meltdown because of Paula flirting with her boyfriend," Kim said. "I thought only boys do that, at least only in America," Michael said. "Michael, girls do that too," Maddy said.

"Okay, what do we do with Paula?" Vicki asked. "Erm... no idea," Siobhan said. "Can we just observe her?" Debbi asked. "Good idea," Kim said. The girls stopped huddling in order to hear what their male peers were saying. "So, what are you doing here?" Paul asked. "Well, I'm here to sign up to be part of your gang," Paula said. "Seriously?" Curt whispered to Roland. Miyagi, who is invisible, then chirped out something. Halargians cannot be seen or heard by non-Halargians. "I don't think this girl is good news," Kim whispered. "Yeah, that's Paula Yates, she's a literal mean girl," Bono said. "No, she's a flirt, Bono, an extreme one if you ask me, she steals every boy," Larry said. "She can't steal us," Adam said. "Any idea how we can deal with her?" Jim asked.

"We'll be with you in a moment," Hutch said. Paula nodded but a mischievous smirk appeared on her face without the Wild Boys knowing. The Wild Boys quickly went into Mr Tennant's engineering classroom. "Mr Tennant, we need your help," Nicky said. "What's up?" Mr Tennant asked. "Is there a Paula Yates in the files?" Kim asked. Mr Tennant took out the alien-hybrid files he had been hiding and looked through the pages. Turns out, there was no Paula Yates. "There's no, why?" Mr Tennant asked. "She wanted to join us," Hutch said. "What? But you cannot just simply trust her, she'll date you and cheat on you," Mr Tennant said. "Relax, I know she doesn't have powers," Andy said. "And I can tell she's probably trying to use us," Roland said.

"Just be careful around her, observe her if you must and give her this fake watch," Mr Tennant said, giving Larry the fake watch. "A fake watch?" Larry asked. "This fake watch is a test for individuals who were pretending to be alien hybrids," Mr Tennant said. "But nobody knows the existence of Halarge except us and Lord Henry," Magne said. "Along with Dr Hayley and the rest of HPG," Edge said. "Well, we gotta test and see if Paula really wants to join us or is just using us," Hutch said. "I wish you guys the best of luck," Mr Tennant said.
