Nate's POV
Benji and I made up the next day. We're friends again. Addi somehow knew about the School War. Weird. Tali or Peyton probably told her. Anyway, it's been a week since the apple incident, and you'll never guess what happened: Benji stabbed an apple again. I didn't get hit this time. Good. Addi and her class' student teacher, Ms Vella, walked past. Addi stopped and tried to hold back a giggle. "Again, Benji? Really?" Addi laughed.
"What did you do, Benji?" Ms Vella asked. "Nothing." He said quickly. He was covering the pencil with his hands. Ms Vella looked suspicious, but she turned around and kept walking. Benji uncovered the pencil just as Ms Vella turmed around. Benji gasped and covered the pencil. "Benji, did you stab the apple with a pencil?" She asked.
"No..." Benji said.
"Show me."
"Fine..." Benji groaned. He uncovered the pencil. "You shouldn't do that, Benji. Led had poison, so your apple had poison in it now." Benji quickly dropped the apple. "It's a different poison. It's only in the spot where you stabbed it." Benji left the apple on the ground. "That hasn't changed your mind, has it?" Ms Vella asked. Benji shook his head. "Oh well." Ms Vella turned around. Benji picked up the apple and piffed it at me. "OW!" I screamed. Ms Vella turned around to see me double over in pain and the apple near me. "Benji, did you throw that apple at Nate?" Ms Vella kind of shouted in disbelief. "No..." Benji said. Ms Vella rushed over to see if I was okay. I explained what happened. I said I was fine, and then she had a talk to Benji. I didn't hear what they said though. Ms Vella lectured him on something and then left. When she was out of sight, Benji ran over and kicked me in the ankle again. "Ow! What was that for?" I shouted at him.
"Sorry, I needed to do that." He apologised. I shrug. "It's okay." I forgive him. I forgive people easily. I snatched the Doritos out of his hand. "I deserve this, though." I said. Benji turned around sharply. "Give me back my Doritos!"

Addi's POV
Peyton, Tali and I watched Benji and Nate grapple for the Doritos. Nate wasn't going to let them go, though. He was clutching them for dear life. Benji let go. Nate staggered backwards at the sudden release. "You're right," Benji said "you deserve them."
"Thanks!" Nate said. Benji left. I decided to play a joke, too. I grabbed the Doritos. "Mine now." I joked.
"Hey, gimme my Doritos!" He whines like a baby. "I deserve them, too," I point out "I have junk food once a week, and they're barely qualified as junk food." Nate doesn't seem to hear, because he tries to grab the Doritos. We are playing tug of war with the Doritos. Luckily, I am a squad swimmer, and I swim so many laps once a week, and Nate is not a swimmer, I think, so I was able to easily win our little tug of war. I hid them behind my back. Nate tries to grab them, but I move them in front of me. This is repeated dozens of times. Suddenly, Tali can't take it anymore. "I'll help you." She says, trying to grab the Doritos. I do the same as what I did to Nate. Then I stopped her. "This is Nate and I's fight." I say.
"Okay." She says sulkily, then walks over to Peyton. "You know what? Have them." I start to give them to Nate.
"Well, that was easy." He says, going to grab the Doritos. "IF," I start. "If you give me a couple. I gave you some once, so this can be your way of paying me back." Nate shrugs.
"Fair deal." He agrees. He taked the Doritos and opens the packet. He takes one, then offers them to me. "Thanks." I say, taking half a Dorito and two tiny ones. He offers the packet to Tali and Peyton. Peyton shakes her head no, and takes a giant step back. She really doesn't like Doritos because somebody she hates is nicknamed 'The Greasy Dorito' or sonething like that. Tali take a few. "Thanks." She says. Nate offers the packet to me one last time. "Because you got the small chips." He said. "Thanks." I say, and take a half chip. He finishes the packet. I take them from him and eat the tiny chips he missed. I then chuck them in the bin. Tali and Peyton disappear, so I hang around with Nate for a bit. We walk over to Benji. "All done." He says.
"That's nice." He says.
"Tali had some to." Nate adds.
"That's sad." He jokes. Nate and I start laughing. "Jokes." He says, smiling.
"I'm going to go look for Tali and Peyton." I say.
"I'll come too." Nate says. So we go looking for Tali and Peyton.

Tali's POV
Peyton and I are walking around the oval, looking for Peyton's little Prep brother, who is also named Benjamin, but we call him Benny. Peyton and Addi call him Molto Bene, as in the Italian words for very good. Peyton gives him his daily hug and then leaves. "Why is he playing soccer?" Peyton questions. "I hate soccer."
"Soccer's pretty cool." I say. The ball rolls near her. She jumps out the way. "Get that thing away from me!" She shout. I kick the ball to Benny. Peyton and I walk away. We're talking about The Sims, because I recently got it. Peyton is giving me tips. Addi runs over to us. "Hey, Addi!" Peyton says.
"What's up?" I say. "Oh no..." I say, because I know what her answer is. "The sky," she states in a matter-of-fact manner "well, technically, the ground is, because we are the Land Down Under." I smile and shake my head. "Anyway," Addi continues "Nate and I are making a movie. We're not using our real names, though. My name's going to be Emily, and Nate's going to be Will."
"Cool!" I exclaim. "What's it about?"
"Pretty much what you just witnessed about five minutes ago." Addi replies. I giggle. "Do you want to be in it?" She asks. "Sure!" I reply. "My name will be Jasmine."
"Peyton, do you want to be in it?" Addi asks. Peyton shrugs. "Okay. I'll be... Chloe." She replies.
"Cool!" Addi says. "I'll go tell Nate." Addi runs off. I smile. I was just glad the School Wars were over. For now.
