[Somewhere on GCU's Campus, 12:30 P.M. Monday]

Crowd: GCU, GCU, GCU, GCU!

*Ruby raises her hand and the crowd falls silent.*

Ruby: *She clears her throat.* Now with the introductions out of the way...

*All of the House leaders' eyes sharpen as they quickly glance at one another.*

Ruby: The first event of today is...

*Ella flips her phone out as Dante puts his hand on the ground to get into a track position. Zayn takes a deep breath.*

Ruby: Houses must escort their Leaders to the stadium. That's right, it's a race! BEGIN!

*The massive crowds shift into one gigantic mob and begin racing towards the makeshift stage. Scattered across the mob, everyone finds themselves in a hectic situation.*

Takumi: Wh-wh-wha-what!?

Danny: *While being carried off by a wave of people.* NO ONE WARNED ME ABOUT THIS!

*Ruby snaps her fingers and men in suits arrive lifting her up as they begin navigating their way through the sea of students.*

Ella: *On her phone* Yes, please pull the car around. No, the cute one!

*Ella walks between a group of bodyguards, making sure she goes unhurt.*

Ella: *Looking at Dante sprinting.* Aww, he thinks he can beat me.

Men From the House Cancer Group: Sorry Cara, we were told to not let you pass-

*Several men get shoulders bashed out of the way by Chad and Brad, clearing a way for Cara.*

Cara: Ugh, took you idiots long enough.

Chad: *Flexing* Sorry ma'am we had trouble finding you.

*The three start making their way through the crowd and Cara notices Ashlyn Stryker almost next to her.*

Cara: *Her attitude and tone completely change to be more friendly.* Oh hey, Ashlyn! HAHA, funny seeing you here?

*Takumi finally catches back up with the rest and looks at Cara.*

Takumi: Who is this person to you anyway!?

Ashlyn: *Scoffs at Cara* Hmph.

Cara: Oh come on babe, don't be like that!

Takumi: *Blank expression* Babe?

Ashlyn: Be like what?

Cara: Like that! What are you even mad for?! I'm trying my best!

Ashlyn: Someone who tries their best wouldn't forget their girlfrien-

Joey: OUT OF MY WAY!

*Joey Grabs Takumi with one hand and throws him into the crowd.*

Takumi: JOEY WHY! *His voice quickly fades away.*

*Ten seconds prior to Joey full-body throwing Takumi.*

Joey: *Watching Dante sprint* Okay. Dante's the lead batter for GCU's baseball team. We should rest easy, he's got this.

*Joey slowly turns his head to see Ella getting in a car.*

Joey: Is that allowed?!

*Joey continues to turn his head scanning the field of people and spots James taking Kirumi's hand, leading her. Joey instantaneously explodes into a sprint dodging multiple people and running into Takumi, who he throws to the side. He locks eyes with James and goes in to tackle him. James spins while pulling Kirumi into his arms and avoids Joey, which causes him to crash into multiple people.*
