Author's Note/Disclaimer: This is the second half of their first school day. The next chapter is going to include a surprise. *evil smile spreads across face*
I don't own the Secret Saturdays, but I do go on adventures with them. I swear, it's true.
After art, they had gotten halfway through homeroom. Ulraj was thinking about Ange and sighed. Zak didn't know why he was sighing and that was about the fiftieth time he'd done it. He got annoyed and finally asked," What is wrong with you? You've been sighing like that ever since we left art class!"
Ulraj was snapped out of his daydream by Zak. "Nothing is wrong," he lied," I'm just bored. You said this was a class for having fun, but it's not fun at all."
"I also said it could be used for doing homework or studying, which is what I'm doing, so please stop distracting me."
Ulraj scowled a bit, but took out his own work. They all had quite a bit of it since they'd come to school on the third week into the year and had to catch up. He knew he had to get the work done and started on it.
Homeroom ended not long after. It was only a half class. They were then able to go to the cafeteria and get lunch. Ulraj was still thinking about Ange as they got their food. A sandwich called a sloppy joe was put on his plate. "This is the school food they give?," he asked," It doesn't seem... edible."
"I agree," Wadi complained.
"Yeah, well, just be happy they don't give us actual slop," Zak said, poking the sandwich he had. He then screamed, shouting," I think I saw it wink at me!"
Ulraj and Wadi both laughed at Zak. "I'm serious," Zak said," I could've sworn it winked at me. Okay, from now on, we bring our own lunches."
"Agreed," Ulraj and Wadi said in unison. Ulraj then looked around at the rest of the tables to see someone sitting alone. It was Ange.
"Hey, since we're sitting alone anyway, why don't we sit with that girl who is also sitting alone?" Ulraj was hoping they would agree with his suggestion. Zak looked over.
"Really? She might think we're weird. And... wait, wasn't she the girl who came late in art? And come to think of it, you've acting weird since art class." Zak then came to the right conclusion," You like her."
Ulraj was surprised as Zak figured him out so easily. "What? No, she just looks lonely over there. You can't say you don't think so."
"Admit it, you've got a crush on her." Zak teased Ulraj the same way he always got teased about Wadi.
"I do not like her!," Ulraj tried to argue. "Hey, you know you can tell me anything," Zak gave him a smile," And I hate to break this to you, but it won't work out. She's human and you're not. Well, you might be half human. I don't even know. The point is it can't work."
"Well, maybe I want to try as long as she thinks I'm human," Ulraj said," I like her. She's beautiful and her timid side is kind of cute. I don't care that it eventually has to end."
"Fine, do what you want," Zak sighed," But don't blame me if she finds out and doesn't like you anymore. I warned you." The three then headed over to the other table. She seemed to hide a bit when she noticed them.
"Hello, Ange," Ulraj said," I saw you sitting alone and thought I could bring my friends over and we could all sit together. This is Zak and Wadi." "Nice to meet you," the two of them said, sitting down.
"O-oh, n-nice to meet you t-too," Ange said, looking away. She just looked over at Ulraj then.
"Sorry if you feel nervous around them," Ulraj apologized," I know you have your timid side. I just wanted to sit with my friends as well."
"We can leave you two alone if it's that bad." Zak didn't want to push her too far. She did seem rather timid and nervous.
"N-no, it's fine." Ange was obviously lying as she looked away again and ran her fingers through her hair.
Zak still wasn't sure, but stayed there. They started eating, talking as well. Ulraj showed off at one point, like he usually did. As they were talking, Ange seemed to lighten up and join in. At the very least, she wasn't so nervous.

They got through lunch and Gym was next. Since it was a free day, Zak and Wadi were playing capture the flag again. Ange was in that class as well and Ulraj was with her. She hadn't really wanted to do anything, so the two of them were just walking and talking.
"You know, I've been talking a lot about myself," Ulraj noticed," Why don't you tell me more about yourself."
"I-I'm not interesting," Ange ran her fingers through her hair once more.
"I want to know more about you," Ularj said," You can tell me."
"W-well, I love to draw," Ange said," B-but I guess you could have figured that since I'm in art. I do a lot of writing as well. I like reading as well, mostly about myths, such as cryptids."
"You like cryptids?," Ulraj smiled a bit.
"W-well, my dad doesn't like it when I read about them. He says that I shouldn't believe in silly myths like that. Maybe he's right."
"You never know. You could find out something you never knew," Ulraj reassured her.
The bell then rang for their next class. "Guess I have to go," Ulraj sighed," Maybe we'll have our next class together as well."
"M-maybe," Ange gave a tiny smile. The two of them then left class.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Ulraj, Zak, and Wadi were in English, their last class. Ange wasn't there and Ulraj seemed a bit upset. Zak rolled his eyes and said," You can see her tomorrow. For now, just pay attention to the teacher."
Ulraj just nodded and listened. He was still having trouble getting Ange out of his head, but he sat through the class.
When the day was over, the three left the school building, expecting Drew and Doc to be there already, but they hadn't arrived. Zak got out his video phone and called them. "Hey, where are you guys? School is over now."
"Yes, but we thought it would be better if you three got in an after school club," Drew told him," It'll give you a chance to make new friends and you'll have more fun. It's part of the full-time normal kid experience."
"What? But I don't want to go to a club," Zak said," Besides, we'll never agree on one club."
"You can try," Doc said," Now, we have to go. Just call us when you're out. If you don't find a club you like today, you can look for a different one tomorrow."
With that, Doc and Drew hung up, leaving an angry Zak on the other line. When he thought about finding a club, he had an idea. A kind of evil grin spread across his face.
Another cut-off, I know. Don't worry, Zak's devious plan will be revealed in the next chapter! For now, a review would be nice.
