Shovel woke up at 5:35. He hated having to get up that early, it was a huge shock instead of sleeping in till 12 or 1 then spend the day with Shield. He groggily got dressed and ate breakfast. "At least shield will be with me the whole time." He smiled. Shield was Shovel's girlfriend, and they lived very close. They had the same bus stop, same teacher, same everything at school. Then there were his other friends, King, Specter, Plague, Treasure, Mole, Tinker, and Propeller. There was also Black and Mona. He put on a jacket and walked outside with his backpack. "Oh great, rain..." He walked out to the bus stop and waited not noticing the small sound coming from behind him. All of the sudden Shield put her hands over his eyes and said with her beautiful voice "guess who?" He smiled and thought for a minute. "I beautiful girl with a lovely voice?" He smiled. "Close..." "W-wait what?" All of the sudden he turned around then turned back only to notice Plague and Tinker. "Haha! Gotcha tin can!" Tin can is what Plague called Shovel. "Aw you guys suck!" They had a fit of giggles then stood at his sides. "Smart idea wearing a jacket tin can, who knew it would rain? Oh wait... I did!" Plague laughed hard again and didn't feel that he was being picked up. Tinker was as well. "W-what is this?! Who has grabbed the almighty Plague?!" They were sat down gently on something hard and wet. "W-what am I sitting on?" Tinker asked. Plague turned his head and saw Treasure. "Oh it's just Treasure!" Treasure looked at Shovel. "Hey shovel." "Hey treasure." "Your a good man Treasure!" Plague cried. Next to show up was Specter, who was really emo. "What're your feelings on this weather Specter?" Shovel asked trying not to laugh. "It's perfect..." He said with his deep dreary sigh. After Specter was Mole and Propeller. "Greetings gentleman." Propeller said with a bow. Mole smiled and grabbed Plague from Treasure's shoulder and put him on his. "Aye bud!" Mole and Plague fist bumped and smiled at each other. "Let's see... Who's left guys?" Tinker asked. "Let's see, Shovel's girl, Black, King, and..." Plague sighed happily "Mona..." "What's with you and Mona?!" A voice cried from behind before being revealed as King. "She's hot man! She's hot and nice and pretty! And cute!" "I'm sure the list goes on..." Mole said. "You bet it does!" "What're you nerds talking about?" Mona asked walking up next to Mole and Plague. "Plague was talking of his affection for you." Propeller replied laughing hard with Shovel. "Oh you like me Plague?" "N-no!" Plague yelled with a dark blush. "Don't let him lie to ya Mona." Treasure said. Plague was one again picked up but by Mona as she pulled up his mask and kissed his cheek. "Well I like you too." He blushed quite brightly and smiled. "Speaking of lovers..." King pointed out as Shield walked up and kissed Shovel on his cheek. "Hey babe." "Hello darling." He picked her up and smiled. The bus pulled up and they all started getting on, not hearing the screaming. "WAIT! WAIT! WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!" Black ran and got into the bus and looked at the bus driver (Percy). "What the hell Mr. Percy!?" "Hey you know I don't like profanity Black! Now sit down!" Black growled and sat down up front next to Propeller. "Ok guys and gals, here's how the seating arrangement is gonna be. Our bus is a little smaller then last years but the seats are wider and longer, so we can fit 3 to a seat. Up front on the left is King, Propeller, and Black." King and Propeller high fived as they were good friends and then King sat down, Black being pushed against the glass. "Ok that's settled. And that order should never be broken, Black to the window seat, Propeller in the middle, and King on the end." They all nodded and Percy smiled. "Ok beside them I want Specter on window, Tinker in the middle, and treasure on the end." The boys nodded and got in their seats. "Next I want Mona on window, Plague in the middle, and Mole on the end." Mole smiled and got into his seat followed by Plague who jumping for joy catapulted into his seat. Mona giggled and sat down next to him. "Last seat can only fit 2, that leaves Shovel and Shield together." "OH COME ON THERE'S NO WAY THAT WAS A COINCIDENCE!" "Jee Black what crawled up your anus?" Mole said while everyone laughed hard. "NOTHING DID TUBBY!" Everyone with the exception of Plague backed away because they knew what was about to happen. "W-what did you just call me?!" "I called you tubby fat ass!" "I'LL KILL HIM! I'M GONNA FREAKING KILL HIM!" Black got punched in the face a few times before Mole was pulled off of him by Plague and Mona. Percy gave Black a dirty look. "I gotta say I've never had a kid get a referral on the first day." Percy said as he wrote on a little pink piece of paper before giving it to Black. "Uhg..." Black took the slip and Mole calmed down as they all sat back down. "Now your new school is an hour or so away so try not to kill each other in that time. I'm gonna put my headphones on while I'm driving so if anyone needs anything just ask King and he'll tell me what's needed. Understood?" They all nodded. Percy started the bus and put his headphones in. He began driving as everyone looked at Black. "Smooth move..." Plague said in disgust. "What?! Look I haven't had the best day today ok!" "What happened?" Propeller asked. "Well let's see, I think I broke my hand when I punched the wall because rats live in my walls. Then I didn't get to eat breakfast because I woke up late, and I also had water sprayed all over me!" Mole started feeling kinda bad. "That sucks." "Yeah!" They all remained quiet just talking to each other softly. Tinker looked back at Shovel and Shield who were making out. He jumped onto Treasures shoulder and watched them for a few seconds. "If you don't mind me breaking up the spit fest, I have an idea." They stopped kissing, a long line of saliva starting in Shield's mouth and ending in Shovel's. "What do you want?!" Shovel asked. "I said I had an idea Spitty." "Was it worth breaking that up?" Shield asked. "I think it'll piss someone off real good." "Well I guess we'll help." Tinker chuckled a little and nodded. "Ok you guys got any straws?" "I think I got a few in my purse.." Shield looked in her purse for a few minutes before Plague and Mona spike up. "Why would you keep straws in your purse Shield?" Mona asked. "This thing has just about anything in it there's probably straws somewhere. What's in your purse?" "Let's see... Phone, headphones, gum wrappers, a charger, gum, make up, and my portable alchemy kit. I mostly have that in there in case me and Plague get in trouble or something." "You all have been dating for 5 minutes." King said listening in on the conversation. "Well that doesn't mean we can't make preparations so we can keep dating." "Good point." "AHA! FOUND EM!" Shield held 6 straws in her hand. "Ok, one for Tinker, one for Shovel, one for me, one for Plague, one for Mona, and one for King." "What do we need straws for?" King asked taking the straw from its wrapping. "I have no clue, ask Tinker." They all looked at Tinker who giggled a little. "You know how Specter has held that locket every day since we started school together?" "I don't like where this is going..." Shovel said, a bit suspicious of Tinker. "Don't worry we won't hurt him or anything." "Ok..." "So basically I'm gonna make a bunch of spitballs and we're just gonna shoot them at the locket! Maybe then he'll speak to us..." "Sweet cmon!" Plague cried. "I just need the 5 of you to provide a piece of paper." They all have him some paper and he tore each one into tiny pieces then spit on them. After 15 minutes he had a good pile on his hand. "Ok ready?" They all nodded and loaded up about 10 spitballs. "Ok on the count of 3 were gonna shoot. He shouldn't notice because he's too busy listening to... The Stroke by Billy Squier?" "Why would he be listening to that?" Mona asked. "I dunno... Well screw whatever he's listening to on the count of 3 we do this." Everyone nodded. "1...2...3!" Before the word three left his lips everyone let fire on Specter. What happened next no one would've expected. Specter tore off his headphones and shoved the locket in his pocket then took his scythe out. "FUCKERS! FUCKERS!" He began swinging it around like mad while everyone ducked and the others woke up from their naps wondering what was going on. Specter flew a little too close to the sun and accidentally swung it into the front window while made Percy slam on the breaks and the bus almost flip over. In the midst of confusion people fell over and chaos was awash. Then, Propeller discovered a shocking secret. As people were being flung around like rag dolls and Percy was trying to keep the bus from exploding, Propeller fell face first on the ground and was looking right into a pair of panties. He freaked out and stood up quickly, ready to apologize to Mona or Shield. But it wasn't either of them. Shield was being held onto tight by Shovel and Mona was grabbing onto the seat in front of her. He looked down and to his shock and horror, Plague lied on the ground squirming around and squealing. The bus had finally stopped and Propeller looked like he saw a ghost. "Ok kids calm down! Is everyone safe?" They all nodded, Propeller nodding rather slowly. "Ok good, hey Propeller help Plague up would you?" He once again slowly nodded and pulled Plague up and sat him (her?) on his shoulder. "Good, now I have no clue what happened because it happened so fast, but we'll just tell the principal a rock flew in through the window. Got it?" "Yes sir." Eleven voices cried. "Good, now you all sit tight while I call another bus to come and pick you up." Shield, Plague, and Mona all sat down while Propeller gathered the guys in the corner. "Guys I think Plague is a girl!" He whispered. "Impossible, I would've known." Mole said. "Look, when Specter had his freak out session I fell onto the floor and I was looking right into a pair of skull panties. I thought it was Mona or Shield and I immediately got up and was ready to apologize. But I looked over and you were holding Shield." He pointed to Shovel. "What about Mona?" Treasure asked. "She was holding onto her seat." "W-where was P-Plague?" King stuttered. Propeller looked at them with frightened eyes. "I looked down... And it was him..." All the guys freaked out. "We've been hanging out with a freak all this time?!" Black cried. "I feel betrayed!" Tinker yelled. Through all their shouting they didn't notice Mona and Shield walking over to them angrily. They also didn't see Plague crying in the seat. Shield grabbed Shovel's shoulder quite harshly and slapped him. Mona grabbed Tinker's and slapped him. Everyone stopped, the only sound was Percy talking and Plague crying. Shield looked at Shovel and and pointed at Plague. "Would you assholes mind telling me what that is?!" "ITS A FREAK THATS WHAT IT IS!" Black cried. "DON'T CALL HER A FREAK!" Mole screamed and the punching began again with Mole and Black beating the crap out of each other. Propeller tried to break up the fight but was brought in. "G-guys you have to stop!" "OH SHUT UP YOU FRENCH PUSSY!" Propeller wasn't going to be insulted and he wasn't going to let Black make fun of Plague, so he began beating him too. Mona kicked Tinker in the groin as he fell back, the others guys with the exception of Shovel, Mole, Propeller and Black holding him. "Oh you feel betrayed? SO DOES SHE!" Mona screamed kicking him again. "OH DEAR JESUS I'M NOT GONNA HAVE KIDS!" Tinker screamed. Meanwhile Shield was giving Shovel a talk that made him speechless. "Me and Mona knew about Plague since kindergarten! You all find out now and you ridicule her! I'm so disappointed in you Shovel! Your better then this! Until you and your little crew of bullies find a way to make it up to Plague were THROUGH!" He received one final slap before Shield sat down held Plague close while she cried. Meanwhile the fight between Mole/Propeller and Black was in Mole and Propeller's favor as they sat down on Black's chest. "You make me sick! How would you like it if she called YOU a freak?!" Mole said "I don't answer to fatties!" Black replied "HE'S NOT FUCKING FAT!" Propeller screamed, punching Black. "I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" Mole cried. Before Mole/ Propeller could lay the final blow a small voice was heard. "Stop!" Everyone was silent and attention turned to Plague. "Don't hurt him you 2..." "WHY THE HELL NOT?!" They cried. She tried to speak under her tears. "I don't want anyone getting hurt." "Isn't it a little too late for that wish?" Treasure said. He received a slap on the back of the head from King. Mole and Propeller looked at each other and sighed. "If that's what you want..." Mole said as he and Propeller got off of Black. Percy looked back at all of them and smiled. "Your bus is here." They all nodded and got their things then got onto the new bus, awaiting the challenges ahead of the day
