JOSH
So I was walking out the cafeteria, pizza in hand, minding my own business when I heard a commotion down near the PE sheds. There was only one explanation for this much fuss... Olajide Olatunji what had you done?

I swaggered my way over and put on my roadman act, ready to face JJ. I obnoxiously pushed my way through the crowd and to the front and who did I see? Yep, it was Jide. Only he wasn't in a fight with some unsuspecting Year 8 kid. It was Simon 'effing Minter. Well, I said they were fighting, they were in the midst of a rap battle. JJ spat a bar, Simon spat back a better bar, the chain continued until the crowed had disassembled and the two boys were exhausted. Realising I wasn't needed here, I walked off back towards the cafeteria to find Tobi. I searched around for a bit, he wasn't in his usual spots. After a bit, I figured he was probably just ghosting and therefore had probably seen the fight for himself, so I crept into the Library to meet Vik.

Of course, Vik was sitting in a desolate corner engrossed in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'. I plopped down next to him and he immediately looked up at me.
"Oh.. Hey Josh, I didn't see you come in."
"Good book?" I asked.
"Yeah, not like I haven't read it before though," Vik had practically read every book in the school Library by now. Just like the rest of us, this was something Vik kept from JJ and some of the others.
"Anyway, Jide is having a rap battle with Simon Minter," I cut 'straight' to the chase.
"You don't think he's trying to ..., do you? Surely not again?" Vik questioned, fear in his eyes.
I grit my teeth "I'll be honest I was thinking that too. I hope not but this is JJ we're on about, he's doesn't feel."
Vik gulped and looked straight ahead at  the bookcase labelled 'Horror' "Someone needs to stop Jide or at least warn Simon"
"And do you think Simon will believe anyone after Jide's started his work?"
"Shit, good point!" Vik cursed a little too loudly. The school librarian, Mrs Mortuus, gave us a cold look that felt like she was looking dead into our souls.
"Come on, we gotta go," I ordered quickly. Vik nodded and we swiftly exited the Library.

We walked past the P.E. sheds where JJ and Simon were battling only mere minutes ago. The crowed had disbanded and JJ and Simon were sat alone deep in conversation, their backs slouched against the sheds.
"Shit, he's already begun," I cried, could my day get any worse.
"We need to find Tobi" Vik chimed in.
As we turned, we did a double-take as we found Tobi stood in front of us.
"You called?" he giggled and Vik laughed along.
I scowled "Don't do that!"
"Chill, Josh, I'm alive. I'm not a ghost, or a zombie, or a vampire, or a we-"
"Okay we get the idea!" I cut him off. "I presume you saw the battle as well?"
Tobi nodded "And I presume you have also worked out what he's doing?" Vik and I both nodded back.
"He's already begun his work," Vik confirmed.
"Fuck, really? Guys we need to do something."
"We know!" Vik and I said in unison, while both rolling our eyes
"Well what do we do?" Tobi almost yelled, panic slowly rising within the three of us by the second.
"We fight back." I stated, knowing I would not regret my decision.
I'm not sure yet but this may or may not be the last chapter I decide to do. It kind of depends on if my mental health improves as, I'm sure you have noticed, I haven't been doing particularly well lately. I decided to finish off this chapter and upload it because I feel like you all deserve it because I swear half this 'story' has been updates and stuff anyway. But yeah, I love and appreciate every single person who has taken time out of their day to read the mess that is 'Sket'. I wish you all the best for the future.
See you later, (possibly)
