Christian Boy

Chapter 2

It had been a week going to this highschool now. Elias sat with Madden at lunch every day.

It was Tuesday. Elias was walking to his table when all of a sudden Williams table stopped him.

"New boy. What's your name?" Lucas said.

"Elias. Martínez."

"Okay Elias Martínez. How bout you sit with us today? You look like you need some friends." Izak said.

"I'm William."

"I know." Elias said not realizing how weird it sounded.

William looked at him weird.

"I mean," He needed an alibi, "You're in my History class. I sit behind you."

William said, "Oh. You're the one that's always kicking my chair."

Elias looked at him worried, "sorry"

"I'm just messing with you. So where are you from."

"Westmark. That place was a prison."

"Tell me about it. Here is worse. It's like no one has a brain!"

They laughed.

When lunch ended Elias met up with Madden. He looked upset.

"What's wrong with you?" Elias asked

"Sitting with William? Really. I thought we were friends. Besties." Madden said.

"We are- wait you're mad at me for sitting with him?" Elias asked confused

"Um, DUH. William Williams is the most popular boy in the school. If you're friends with him i'll just fade into the background. You'll forget about me."

"No I wont. How do you know?"

"I had a friend once."

MONTAGE

"His name was Jack. We were best friends. Inseparable. One day, just like you, William's group invited him over. After some time he started hanging out with them regularly. One day they were having a party. Then all of sudden, a bulldozer drives through the house and kills Jack. If he wasn't there he would be alive still. When your popular the probability of your death goes up 50%"

OUT OF MONTAGE

"Is that even real, or are you making this up to scare me?"

"Of course it's real. Now promise me you'll steer clear of William Williams group of jerks."

"Alright, Alright. I will. I promise." Elias said

"I knew you were gonna be a good friend." Madden said. "Gut feeling."
