The beggining and the end

Chapter 2: The friends come in P.1

                                                                     Jose POV
So I was sitting down just minding my business, living life normally when all of a sudden my bro Mike sits right next to me. First thing I notice is that his face is just as red as freshly grown tomatoes. Hes also breathing heavily. Now im just here finishing up my math HW, but eventually I ask him:

" Hey bro, whats wrong? Nervous or some shit?"

" Nothing man, its just that..."

"Just that what?" I respond hesitently.

" Im nervous for todays game bro, thats all dog" responded Mike.

Michael is the starting center for our basketball team. The chemistry that he has with our PG, Deez Nuts, is insane. I was the starting Small Foward, but my leg issues caught up and now im not playing. Today were going up against a squad from Georgia, and I think the whole teams nervous. However, I feel like Michael is secretly hiding something from me.

Could he be stressed out for something else? Is something wrong with Deez Nuts ? I was about to ask him another quick question about what was going on, but just as I was about to ask. I saw a pack of geeks coming into the cafeteria.

See, Emerson works in a clique like order. Theres the geeks, how usually hang around the computer lounge, playing their games and writing. Then theres the band squad, the ones who always hang around the music room and play at our schools shows ; the cheerleaders: the ones who cheer the sports teams, and of course the outcast. They usually just hang around the hallways of the school, doing drugs and what not. Crazy. Then theres the athletes, or essentially, Michael, Deez Nuts, myself, and the rest of the squad.

The true leader of the geeks was this  girl named Kaylin Lara. Now Kaylin was truly an awesome girl. She was really funny, smart, sweet, and overall different from the rest of the girls. I was always good friends with her, and so was Michael, before we stepped into middle school and we were thrown into the wirlwind of the cliques, we were in the same group of friends. 

'Hey Jose. How are you doing?" 

" Im just surviving. What about you?"

" Fine. Computer homework last night was terrible. Mr. Mackey can sometimes be a straight up douche, but its alright. How's Mike doing?

" I don't even know dude. He's just sitting there with his face completely red. Go talk to him, will ya?"

Just as Kaylin walked over to Michael the bell rang.

Shit.
