Walking into the gym, Cameron showed Tommy where the showers and bathrooms were. As Cam was walking to the bleachers, Tommy turned to the middle of the gym. There was a match of Dodgeball that was about to start. He was running late for class but got sidetracked by Cameron.

Running to the bleachers, he threw his bag on the floor and took off his dark blue hoodie. He threw it on top of his bag and ran one side of the court. Cam said it didn't matter which side you chose when your late so he picked the side with taller people.

He was short compared to the others and should've picked the other side.

He opened his mouth to say something but the coach blew his whistle. Everyone ran to the balls in the middle of the court while Tom as frozen with shock. Not knowing what to do, he backed away from the other teens. But before he knew it, a ball smacked him right in the face.

"VILLANCE!" The coach screamed to the other team.

Tommy stood up and rubbed his cheek. It didn't hurt that much, it just caught him by surprise. Cameron ran to the brunette's side.

"You okay?" the blonde asked. Tom could tell he was worried so he just smiled and told him that he was fine.

Looking behind him, Cam looked at the paused game. He looked back at Tom and shrugged before going back to the other side where he game from.

Tom sighed as the shorter boy left. It was like every word he said was just another lie. It made his stomach hurt just thinking about it.

"Hey, sorry about hitting you in the faaaaace....brown-haired guy...name's Hu-"

Tommy ran this time. He ran through the crowds of kids to the bathrooms. He threw himself into a stall and quickly locked it.

Leaning against the door, he slid down till he was siting down. He put his face into his hands and sobbed. Anyone but her. It could've been anyone. Herobrine would've been better, but it was her. He couldn't even think of what she thought of him now. He was only focusing on what he was going to do.

He didn't want her to get hurt. More or less, he didn't want to talk to her.

"H...Hun...ter..." Tommy tried to get out. He was choking on his words. He was trying not to scream, all he could do was say what wa son his mind. "Crafter, Digger, Herder, Stitcher, everyone...what has happened?"

The bathroom door opened and footsteps filled the room. Rubbing his eyes and nose, Tom stood up and opened the stall.

Owen Tent fixed is glasses and shoved a spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth. He started at the girl two tables away from him and swallowed. The girl's name was Samantha Spio. She was talking to her younger sister Sally and her other friends. Owen knew all of those kids, he just never wanted to talk to them. He hated all of them. He didn't trust them, especially the older kid with pitch black hair, Brine Herio, his creator.

Brine had just come out of the bathrooms and sat down, brushing his oddly perfect hair out of his eye. Brine had name his human body perfect: he was in good shape, his skin was smooth and a dark brown, his hair was soft and perfectly cut, and his eyes were a perfect striking ice blue. Even his outfit was perfect, an exact replica of what he wore in the Great Zombie Invasion, a dark blue smock coming down and cutting off at his knees where black pants covered his legs. It fit him perfectly, and everyone said he was so great and had a good personality.

Well, Owen, who's real name was Oxus, believed none of that.

In Minecraft Brine-or really Herobrine- had tried to use all of Oxus' creepers for no use just to cause violence. Oxus didn't want that one single bit to he ran off with his creepers and eventually made a creeper hive.

The chair next to him moved as a kid with straight black hair sat down next to Owen. Owen look to his left and growled, "Feyd, don't you belong with those other monsters?"

Feyd-now Finn Ensmans- rolled his eyes and sighed, "You don't know what I did, right?"

Owen eyes widened as he sat up a little straighter. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I risked my life-eventually dying-to destroy Xa-Tul and save Gameknight999 and Minecraft."

Owen smiled, "Really?!"

Finn gave him a toothy grin and nodded. "It's a long story."

Owen was bewildered. Never before has he ever thought that another king had betrayed the Maker. Looked back at the other table, he said, "Does Brine know?"

Finn shook his head. "But I'm sure Xa-Tul...I mean, Terrence will eventually tell him. But I guess now is when all of us need to get along more than ever."

"Why?"

Sighing, Finn said, "Because I told them I rode the same bus as Gameknight999-which is true."

Owen groaned and put his head down. "You gotta be kidding me."

"Please forgive me, I'm sorry!" Hunter Villance pleaded to Tommy.

"I said you we're forgiven, geez Hunter, calm down." Tom replied as he threw the crust from his sandwich in the trash. It turned out Hunter was in all his classes after P.E. so she'd been following him around apologizing for hitting him in the face. Of corse Tommy had forgiven her, but she didn't take the forgiveness seriously.

"Heh, ops," she chuckled and shrugged her shoulders. "I guess I didn't hear it the first few times."

"First few times?!" Tom laughed. "I forgave you-like-a hundred times! So forgive to your sister or something."

Hunter's face went from a happy face to a very serious face. "How do you know I have a sister?"

Tommy but his lip and shrugged. "Cameron...told me..."

"Cameron? Cameron Craftin? That kid who made a complete idiot out of me?"

Tom's eyes widened. "Wait, I thought-"

"Well you thought wrong," Hunter snapped and trend away. The two were silent for a while. It was an awkward silence between the two. Tommy was going to leave before the girl finally spoke.

"Sorry," she admitted and brushed her hand through her short curly hair. "I shouldn't have vented on you like that. It's just I've kept the hate in for a long, long time..."

"When did it happen?" Tom asked.

Hunter groaned and tapped her chin. "Last year. Purposely spilled his cup of punch on my dress in the Back to School dance. It was ruined and his friends followed him. I walked in with a white gown, walked out with a pink-maroon soaking wet dress."

Tom bit his lip. "Have you talked to him about it?"

The girl shook her head. "Why would I?"

"It could've been an accident," Tommy said. He needed the two to become friends again. He wanted everything to be like it was before, only in the physical world this time.

"Yeah...it could've," Hunter echoed and leaned against the brick wall, straight out at the pale blue sky.
