It's lunch time at Rockmount high and Jobiting has invited Geddon up on the roof top to have lunch. This raised suspicion in Geddon, but his curiosity of Jobiting's motives lead him to accept the proposal. Geddon also saw this as an opportunity to ask some questions of his own, he would need as much information as possible about Rockmount if he was to ignite his plans. But the information Jobiting provides Geddon, leaves him baffled.
While sitting on the edge of the school roof with their feet dangling and clothes waving in the wind. Jobiting stares endlessly at the sun like a hawk that had sighted a pray.
In a poor attempt to break the Ice,
"Did you know, the surface of the sun burns 5,600 degrees Celsius. And that's all 150 million kilometres away from the Earth, yet I still have to wear these UV ray proof goggles day in and day out to protect my eyes from the sun's blinding light. Isn't that amazing Geddon? That the sun, isolated in the empty vacuum of space, can still reach us way out here. You know the sun burns alone, shining as bright as it can, it sends out a beacon for help, touching us all hoping that one of us will answer the call, but no one ever does, no one ever will. The sun will forever be alone and no one will try to get close to it, because those who try, get burned." Jobiting says like a fanatic astrophile carried away in the heat of the moment while he stares endlessly at the afternoon sun.
Jobiting turns to Geddon with an awkward smile and says " I'm pretty much like the sun"
"Is this the first impression you set on all the strangers you meet? Take them on a roof, stair at the sun, utter a long proverb like an idealistic sociopath and tell them you're the sun? I can see why you're so popular" Geddon says sarcastically with a still voice
With a nod "OK I deserve that, but honestly you're the only person I've ever brought up here" he says as he lays back
"OK, hearing that only makes me wanna jump off this roof" said Geddon
"Come on bro, I just wanna get to know you better, like..."
"I'm not gay" interrupted Geddon
"What?" Said Jobiting
"I'm not gay" repeated Geddon glancing at Jobiting and back
"Wha... Why...What! Tha.. That's not what this is, what do you take me for!" Said a flustered Jobiting quickly sitting up straight barely toppling off the roof.
"Sorry, I thought you were homosexual and this was some sort of premeditated plan of making a move on me and... Are you gonna eat that?" Geddon asks while starring enviously at Jobiting's lunch which was placed beside him.
At this point Geddon hadn't eaten for three days straight, because he could care less for putting effort into making anything. Now the unfortunate consequences of his laziness had finally caught up with him and he could no longer withstand denying his stomach the food it grumbled so vigorously for.
"Ehh... Sure you can have them, what are friends for" Jobiting says while handing the food to Geddon, putting on that prize winning smile of his.
"(This guy's too nice, too... Suspicious, too many unanswered questions. What's his motivation for all this? Why am I here? What's he playing at? Or am I just overthinking all this? No. He's up to something, I just don't know what)"
"Geddon... Geddon here's the food" says Jobiting snapping him out of his ruminative trance
"Oh... Yeah, thanks" Geddon graciously excepts and starts eating
"Hey Jobiting..." Geddon starts
"Call me 'Joe'," corrects Jobiting
"Sure, Joe. My mo... I mean uncle. My uncle told me that you guys have factions here. And I've been wandering, what are factions? Are they some sort of clubs or something like that?"
