"hey spence." i greeted spencer as i sat down beside him. he turned his head to face me. "hey, how was class?" he asked. i groaned. "shitty, you'll never believe who's in three of my classes so far." i told him. "who?" he asked, resting his head in the palm of his hand. "none other than ryan fucking ross." i told him.

     spencer's expression immediately loosened. "damn, what the hell is up with your life lately?" he sighed.

     "dallon, i swear to god if you don't give me back my money i'll break your sink again." we heard ryan's voice. the blue haired boy was jumping up as dallon was holding a five dollar bill in the air. "not until you admit i'm better at mario kart." dallon shook his head. "dude, dallon, not everyone is as tall as you." i shouted. the two both turned to face us and dallon gave the money back to ryan.

     ryan ran over and sat across from spencer, dallon sat next to him and across from me. "why did you have ryan's money?" i asked dallon. he shrugged. "just bothering him, just for fun." he responded as he started to mess with ryan's hair. "dude, go away." ryan swatted his hand. "i don't wanna get up though." dallon shrugged. ryan sighed. "brendon, can we switch?" he asked. "yeah, sure." i nodded as i stood up.

     once i sat down, i waited for spencer and ryan to get too invested in a conversation. when the timing was right, i looked over to dallon, who was trying to take part in the conversation, but spencer and ryan were overpowering his voice.

     "hey, dallon, what's up?" i whispered as i poked his arm. he immediately turned his head to face me. "um, nothing much. you?" he asked. "no, i mean, is everything okay?" i asked him. dallon looked to spencer and ryan, then to me. "what's going on?" i asked. "i don't want to talk about it here." he told me. "oh, uh, alright." i nodded. "here, i'll tell you after school, is that okay?" he tilted his head. i nodded. "yeah, that's fine." i told him.

     "brendon!" spencer shouted to get my attention. i jumped and turned to face him. "who won mario kart on saturday?" he asked me. "uh, you did, i think." i answered. "who got second?" he asked. "dallon, i'm pretty sure." i responded.

"i told you!" spencer pointed at ryan. "yeah, and i tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen." dallon joined in. "is that why you took his money?" spencer asked. "maybe." dallon shrugged.

i just smiled and listened to the rest of the conversation.
