Matt POV

"Matt c'mon we're ready!" I hear Tom call out from the hall.
"Coming!" I look back just once more at my reflection, making sure I didn't miss anything. I straightened my clothes as I walked out, closing the door behind me.
"Finally..." Tom muttered. We all turned when we heard shuffling at the door next to us.
"Oh! Hey guys!" Paul smiled, wearing a white shirt with a thin yellow jacket tied around his waist.
"Hey!" I greet them cheerfully, "and Patryk thank you so much for accepting!"
"No problem." He smiles. We all begin our way towards the end of the hall towards the elevator.
"Also Pat..that sweater is so cool." Edd pipes out. I look at his sweater, it's a nice cream turtleneck with small llamas and other small designs etched into it with blue yarn.
"Aw, thanks..haha." he slightly blushed. Paul looked at him and snickered a bit. Pat nudged him and giggled. Wonder what that was. We near the elevators as Paul and Pat continue towards the stairs. I hear an evil chuckle come from Tom. He hits the button to signal the elevator.
"Heh, so, a race?" Paul asks.
The bell dings. The elevator has lifted off.
"..let's make a bet, who ever reaches the first floor first pays." Tom gambles.
Another ding. The elevator has passed the first floor.
"That's fine with us." Patryk states standing behind Paul.
Ding. Third floor.
"Matt," I turn to see Edd, "you will you go with?" I ponder for a moment.
Ding. Fourth floor.
"With them." I say.
"Aight.." Paul smiles. The three of us nod in agreement and begin to prepare ourselves.

*Ding*
The doors slide open...

"Go go go!!" Paul shouts excitedly. We bolt down the stairs as I glance back up to see Edd and Tom disappear behind the doors.
The stairs echo with the harsh taps of our footsteps gliding down past the first flight.
"Hey guys, duck!!" I yell from behind them. They turn a bit to see me jump into the railing and cat pass in front of them, still running. They gawk a bit and chuckle. I continue to run past the fourth floor. I jump when I see two streaks fly past me.
"Matt jump!" I pause at the second flight of stairs to peer over the edge at a giggling Paul and Pat. Paul has his arms outstretched. I gulp. I jump into the railing.
I hesitate for a moment.
"Hehe.."
I close my eyes.

And fall.
