Cyborg's Story

"Yo! CY! What's up, man?!"

Vic "Cyborg" Stone turned to smile at his friend. "Sup, Pete. You ready for the game!" he asked him.

"You know it! West High is so going down!!" Pete boasted.

Vic (who's real name was Victor) was the all-star quarterback. And Pete, his right-hand man was the running back. They were the best, the greatest, and were practically worshipped by all. And they knew it to. They knew whether it was basketball, wrestling, football, or even track; fans would be crowding the stands to cheer them on.

Pete unzipped his backpack and pulled out a dusty brown football "Stone, check it out." he called tossing the ball to Victor. Vic caught it with one hand, and then with the other he motioned for Pete to back up. "Go long!" Vic shouted. He pulled his arm back and threw the ball. It flew through the air, zooming past lockers. Pete ran forward looking straight at the ball. He leaped into the air and caught it.

"YEAH! That's what I'm talkin bout!" Vic boomed. Pete held up the ball in victory as he jumped up and down, running right into…Raven. They both fell to the ground, Raven's book going one way the ball another.

Victor ran to help his friend up. Then he reached his hand out to help Raven but she ignored it and stood up on her own. "I am so sorry." Pete said apolitically. "Yeah," Vic agreed. "Are you ok?" Raven didn't answer them. Instead she brushed off her clothes and reached for her book, but Victor got there first. He picked up the book and handed it to Raven. "Thanks." she said quietly before turning and quickly walking away.

"That girl is so weird." Pete commented as he watched her disappear around a corner. "She's just different, man. Leave her alone." Vic said defending her.

Pete shrugged and bent down to pick up his ball. "Heads up!" he called tossing the ball at his friend. The ball hit Victor smack in the head before falling into his hands. Vic turned to Pete grinning. "Oh you're gonna pay for that." Vic called. Pete took off running with Victor close behind right him. They scooted around the corner and out of sight.
