Of all the people in this world, why did I have to get stuck with them? Was the only thought that wandered through her head when Leo and Frank started to talk about sports. 

Hazel had no idea about anything the both of them were talking about. What was a tackle? A field-goal? And most importantly- why are they talking about sports in all?

"So, did you see the game last night?" Leo asked Frank.

"Uh, no. You know your team will never win, so why even watch?" Frank asked.

"Sure! Like your team is any better! At least we have the pick of the year!" Leo countered, smirking.

"Yeah. And that is your only good player. Valdez, you need to get a better football team." Frank told the little elf-ish boy.

"At least-"

"Okay, boys. Shut-up or I'm going to puke on one of you next." Hazel intervened. Both of the boys backed away from Hazel. "Do you guys have any earbuds of something? I don't want to hear you guys bicker anymore.

"Oh, mine broke at practice. Travis stepped on them while trying to flirt with Katie." Frank answered.

Hazel looked at Leo, and Leo answered," Sorry. I don't own any earbuds. I mean, why block people out when I'm so popular?" Leo smirked.

Hazel put her head on the backboard. "So no earbuds?"

"Yeah."

"Fun." Hazel said sarcastically. 

"Why don't you wanna talk? Are you worried you are going to embarrass yourself around Frank? Don't worry, he's a nice guy, even if he looks tough on the outside." Leo said, causing Frank to blush. 

"How about we play a game?" Frank suggested.

"Sure!" Leo said, and he grinned evilly. "How about the blushing game?"

"How about no." Hazel stated, not leaving room for discussion.

"Yeah, your right. It would be totally unfair. Frank blushes every time you come in the room so he would definitely not win." 

Hazel rolled her eyes and got back to staring at the ceiling. Hmm, maybe...

"I have a place we could go." Hazel said suddenly, taking her eyes off the ceiling.

"Wow, that's the most excitement I've seen you say in a sentence since I got here. Must be a great place." Leo said. "I'm in."

"Sure, let's go." Frank said, and got up.

Yet, as soon as Hazel got up on her feet and tried walking, she had to sit back down because she was so nauseous. 

"Are you okay?" Frank asked with worry in his eyes.

"You don't have to fake concern for me." Hazel said bluntly.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you don't have to act all nice and kind. I know how you really are. You are really selfish and rude." Hazel said.

"Hey, are you guys coming?" Leo said, poking his head trough the door. He had left the room as soon as they all decided to go. "You need help walking, Hazel?"

"No, I'm fine." Hazel said stubbornly as she tried walking. 

Hazel then got picked up bridal-style by Frank and was carried out of the room. 

"Hey, Leo, can you get a bucket just in case Hazel starts puking again?" Frank asked.

Once Leo ran off to get a bucket, Hazel to Frank,"You can put me down now."

"I'm good."

"Why are you even doing this?" Hazel asked narrowing her eyes.

"Because I want you to change your mind about athletes. Not all of them are the same and I definitely don't want you to think I am a jerk." Frank said.

Hazel pursed her lips. Why was Frank going through such an effort to make her change her mind about him?

"Got the bucket!" Leo shouted and skipped up ahead.

"Awesome! Could you hold it the whole time?" Frank said.

"Sure."

Hazel started to giggle, and when Leo asked why, she told him, "Now we can call you Bucket-boy."

"Hey! I only have one nickname, and it is Leo Mcschizzle McBad Boy Supreme!"Leo protested, but Frank was already shouting to the empty hallway,"Bucket-Boy! Bucket-Boy!"

They all laughed as Hazel gave directions to the place. How they could go from strangers to friends in five minutes, Hazel didn't know (though she thought it may have been with Bucket-boy's help.) but she did enjoy having people to talk to for a change.

-Time Skip-

"This is it." Hazel said as the boys gasped at the room.

"This is the teacher's lounge! How did you even get in here?" Leo shrieked.

"I went exploring for a quiet place to eat luck and I found the secret entrance." Hazel shrugged.

"Don't you sit with your friends?" Frank asked, and Hazel looked away.

"Look at all of these snacks! There's some Frito's, some Twizzlers, and- OH MY GOSH THEY HAVE MOUNTAIN DEW RED!!!!" Leo said asked he started going through the snack area. 

"What's up with him and Mountain Dew Red?" Hazel asked.

Frank sighed and told Hazel, "I don't know. Lately, he's been obsessed with Mountain Dew Red and saying, 'Micheal Makes An Entrance' whenever he walks through the door.

"Well-"Hazel started to say when she got cut off.

"Hey you! Who's in there?!" A teacher's voice yelled.

Oh, great.
