"Hey, guys," User grinned as she sat down.
"Hi," Azure replied.
"Hey," Jedi greeted.
User stared at them creepily. "Do you know who's it?"
"I'm gonna guess you," Wolf replied as she sat down.
User's grin widened. "Yep! So who's gonna be my first target after lunch?"
Booknerd sighed. "Did Mom tag you?"
"Yeah. We're in the same history class," User replied. "Hmm. . . Maybe I'll tag. . . you!" She pointed to Wolf.
Wolf shrugged. "Okay."
User frowned. "Or maybe. . . you!" She turned to Azure.
"Why me?" Azure asked.
"I don't know. Because," User said.
"Are you going to keep this up for all of lunch?" Wolf asked.
"Well, yeah! It's fun!" User exclaimed. Everyone sighed.
Booknerd turned to Anti. "Tagging is illegal during lunch. But as soon as it hits 1:00, lunch is technically over, and she can tag us. I'm going to make a run for it."
Anti nodded. "Jimine and I already had the same idea. I'm not ready to be it again."
Booknerd grinned. "Me either."
"Maybe I'll tag. . . you!" User pointed at Booknerd.
"No!" Booknerd gasped. Wolf sighed in annoyance. It was going to be a long lunch.

"It's 12:59!" Booknerd hissed.
"I know!" Anti whispered back. She, Booknerd, and Jimine were sitting backwards at the lunch table, waiting for the clock to change.
"I don't think I'm ready for this," Jimine said.
Booknerd grinned mischievously. "Just go for it as soon as the clock changes."
"Oh, boy. I'm ready for this! Let's go!" Anti cheered.
"Who should I tag?" User asked, putting a finger to her lips.
1:00
Anti, Jimine, and Booknerd bolted out the door and down the hallway.
"What do we do now?" Booknerd asked, giggling.
"Don't stop!" Anti shrieked.
"Of course not! I don't want to be it!" They ran to the other end of the school then huddled together by a stairwell, waiting to see who the title it had transferred to.
Minutes later, User cheerfully skipped towards them, wriggling her fingers and giggling.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stay back!" Jimine yelled, stepping towards the staircase. User grinned and inched closer. The group of girls shrieked in fear and jumped back.
"I'm not even it anymore! I tagged Nope!" User giggled.
Booknerd sighed. "Really?" The girls cautiously approached User.
"Yep! And I'm pretty sure he tagged Azure. . ."
"This is getting confusing," Jimine said.
