KENNY

When I finally got all the makeup off my face, I realised that I was hungry. Anya had managed to get away with this one, but not for long. Currently seated on the bleachers of the football field, I could see my friends running around like a bunch of kids on holiday.

I stashed Stacy's wet wipes in her purse, then made my way to them.

"Thank you," I said as I handed over the purse to Stacy. "The bell's gonna go off any minute now. We need to head back." I told them.

The day was kind of nice if you asked me. Then I saw Gale, and my world turned. He had a girl holding his arm, a girlfriend, probably. And she was pretty too --- not that it mattered anyway. I have willow, I'm totally not into her! Swear!

"Well," Gale started as he approached us, "How are the famous chaos masters? The whole school knows you right now, you know?" he said with a smug smirk on his dumb face.

The kid made having a white streak of hair on his right look awesome, like, calm down, gramps!

"What do you want?" I took a protective step in front of Stacy.

Gale looked taken aback by that before he smiled, then chuckled, then laughed. Really loudly. "Man...you look pathetic talking like that." He added, then had to find support from his girl.

I noticed that Andy was holding back laughter, too. So were Andy, Ray and Caleb. The ones unmentioned did not kindly hold their peace. I felt so insulted by the fact that I tried to stand up for them just now.

After a good laugh, Gale wiped a very real tear from his eye and then stood upright. "I just wanted to introduce you guys to your new roommate, who is also my girlfriend." He gestured toward his girlfriend in a very exaggerated Will Smith way, "Melissa Hudson!"

I did not expect the fool-in-love vibe from this guy, so you can imagine how shocked I was. Well, Seth seemed worse. He actually fainted!

John rushed to catch him, "Hey! Baby bro?" he shook Seth, who peeked through one eye and whispered 'Is she gone yet?' John looked up and whispered a no in return, which made Seth go back to dead mode once again.

Before I could say another word, Anya appeared between us (I was wondering where she went) and said, "Let him be. He has no issue with us..." Then he looked at Seth. "...and why is he on the ground?"

Stacy took an exaggerated step towards her and said, "Don't look now, but that's Missy..." and Anya did an O shape with her mouth.

Was I missing something? Clearly.

"Hey, the bell just rang," Ray told us.

"Last one to class is a rotten egg!" Caleb added.

Melissa Hudson giggled. I groaned, and there were a couple of sighs as we walked away. Then Anya chirped in, "How about this? Last one does the dishes tonight!"

I looked at her, and she was dead serious. Hell, everyone was. I was so not doing the dishes, so there was one option.

RUN!

Hell no to doing the dishes. I haven't even unpacked yet! Don't judge me... in any case, I was not up for work, so I might as well beat it to class.

Our journey was short-lived since we ran into Mrs. Cole a few meters from our class. Why, this woman...!

"You are older than you are acting. Running in the halls is prohibited and is punishable by physical labour since you seem to have the energy." She said as she crossed her arms, she gave us a scolding look.

That was when Anya casually waltzed by us, nodding to the teacher, "Sup, teach." Then smirked as she glanced at us. THAT SNAKE! She knew this would happen, and I bet she didn't even bother hurrying! And Mrs. Cole even nodded back!

I made sure to write it in my face that she was so dead and I can't save her, but I'm guessing I failed because Mrs. Cole looked concerned as she said, " Oh my goodness! Kenn,y you should have said so? By your constipated look, I take it you were headed to the lavatory?"

Everyone around me choked on air, and I was about to deny it when Seth bumped into me aggressively and indicated that I shut it. Since none of us wanted the punishment. I could feel myself blush as I nodded.

Mrs. Cole just nodded and went on her way.

We finally entered the class and saw people waiting for the next teacher, who was arriving a bit late. This was the perfect opportunity for my entire friend group to lose it. Then Anya mimicked the exact words of Mrs. Cole, and I felt my face heat up more. Jeez... can't they cut it out?

I proceeded to get to my seat, where I was this morning, and the girl who was seated next to me waved a 'hi' in my direction. I just did the same, but not looking stupid like her, and finally, class began.

No one did anything during class. Just Anya staring at the teacher, Stacy typing notes on her laptop, Willow, Ray and Andy doing the same but in notebooks. John just cuddled Seth as they both slept off, and Caleb was dead serious about Candy Crush. I just sat there looking dumb because I didn't even know what subject it was.

When the lesson got done, John had mechanics class, and so did Andy, so they left.

"Baby bro?" John said to a drowsy Seth before leaving, "You have art. I'll walk you there." But Seth refused and said he'd find his way.

The same way that I am protective about Stacy is the same way that John looks after Seth. They have always been together since Seth was born with some heart issues and became stunted at twelve, then his voice stayed feminine a little at thirteen. He got surgery and is perfectly okay now, but I guess old habits die hard.

"It's alright," I said, "I'll watch him." Then I did our dorky handshake with John then he left.

Once he did, Seth turned to me with a curious expression, "You say that like I'm some dog."

Wrong, and I had to correct him, "Puppy, not dog."

He just smiled brightly, and his silver eyes glittered while his dark Latino curls bounced with him. "Urgh!" Willow exclaimed," I can't stand your cuteness. I might get cavities."

We chatted while Seth got ready to leave, and me to walk him when the guy who was introduced earlier as class representative almost ran Seth over.

"Hey, watch it!" I instinctively said. Just my protective side activated.

The dude, Jay- I think. Just stood there looking at Seth. He had a look of happy surprise in his eyes...creep!

"Uhm...humans walking here?" I said to him very slowly, and he snapped out of it finally. Odd...

Seth gave a polite smile, and I a frown, and we were on our way.

I swear, rich kids are a chore(and I know I'm one). And I so happen to hate work.
