Humble Opponent || Micah

Going out in style || 2

Just as the day before, Avri and Riley stood outside the lunch room waiting for the right moment, although this time they were joined by Riley's twin brother, Kyle. "Avri I mean come on, this isn't entirely necessary," Kyle insisted.

"Aw come on Kyle you were all for it a few days ago. It will be over in a jiffy," Avri replied.

"Firstly, who says jiffy anymore? Secondly, I know that I was but I realised that I'm going to miss you if you get expelled." Kyle spoke softly and honestly.

"Hey, this is something that needs to be done. We've already done the tests and I've graduated online so I'm ready to leave. I'm going to miss you guys too but it's not like we're never going to see each other again." Avri insisted as she brought the tall, dark haired boy into a hug.

No one said anything as they walked into the lunch room, Avri walked over to the boom box that sat in the corner and pressed play. (You can press play now on the video if you want) 'Ignition' by R. Kelly came bursting out of the music player as Avri made her way to the centre of the room with a large mat in her arms and two cans of paint. She lay the mat out and chucked the red and blue paint onto it. Avri took off her top, which had a sports bra on underneath it, as her stomach said 'GOODBYE' in red paint. Avri begun to slide across the mat like a water slide and soon everyone began to laugh.

One thing that Avri was not expecting to happen was that Cassiel from yesterday would come and join her, soon followed by a man with red hair that Avri had never seen before. The three of them continued to dance and slide through the now purple paint that lay on the floor. As the song came to a finish, Avri stood and bowed which was then copied by the two paint covered men that had bravely joined in.

Avri then smoothly begun to walk out just as the headmaster walked through the lunch room doors. Avri took a sharp turn to sprint out of the other door which consisted of her jumping over chairs and tables. The parkour training that Kyle made her do with him really came in handy.

When Avri was certain that she had run far enough away from the school she stopped and turned only to be surprised by four guys. Two of them were the men that joined her and the other two she recognised as Micah and Raphael.

"Was that what you wanted me to see?" Micah asked as they all stood astonished at Avri.

"Yep- oh and thanks for joining me guys, great work!" Avri replied honestly.

"That's our pleasure. I love getting kicked out of that school. I'm Nathan," the man with red hair replied as he seemed buzzed by the exhilaration that that scene had given them.

After a short conversation about why Avri had made that display, the answer being 'why not?'. The boys decided to head back home, except Raphael who returned back to school, whilst Micah walked Avri home.

The two walked comfortably as they continued the conversation all the way to Avri's house. "So about that date, could I possibly pick you up tonight?" Micah asked nervously.

"Yes of course, I would really like that." Avri replied whilst looking up and catching Micah's eyes which still continued to captivate her as they seemed to move in an unusual and interesting way.

"Okay I'll pick you up at 7 then- oh and here's my number," Micah stated whilst grabbing a pen from his pocket to which Avri just stuck out her arm for him to write on.

"See you later, Micah."

"Goodbye Avri."

---------------------------------------------

That afternoon Avri got a call from an unknown number.

"Hey, Avri? It's Raphael. I got your number from your friend Kyle as he's in my PE class." The unknown man, who Avri now knew as Raphael, said.

"Oh hey Raphael, what's up?" Avri asked.

"Well I was wondering if you new about the charity football game that's coming up tomorrow."

"Oh yeah, I was thinking of going to go see that." Avri replied.

"Well the thing is, is that we are down one player on one of the teams and I was wondering if you would be up to step in." Raphael politely stated.

"Yeah of course, is there anyone that I know on the team?"

"Yeah, Cassiel. Is that okay?"

"That's perfect I'm sure he'll be a trusty sidekick."

Raphael chuckled "Be careful with saying that. If Cassiel heard you calling him a sidekick he would go crazy," Raphael pointed out.

"I guess I'll have to see that." Avri insisted "See you later Raphael."

"Goodbye Avri, and have fun tonight!"
