Will recieved a text from his mom telling him that she was waiting at the quodpot field with a surprise. He looked at Natalie with excitement. She looked back and smiled. Their eyes met, his blue and her hazel. They stopped in the street and shared their first kiss since the trip to Egypt last summer. As they kissed he caught a wiff of strawberries in her hair.

"You know I love strawberries," Will whispered to Natalie.

"Yes, I do," she said back and kissed his cheek. Suddenly, Will was knocked out of the way by a gaunt boy about his age. He turned to yell and saw the boy look back as he was running. The boy had a mocking look on his face and his platinum hair was whipping around his head as he leapt on his broom. He stopped and his black eyes met Will's. Will was full of a sense of danger from this teen.

"Who's that," he barely managed to breathe.

"Nathan West. He's weird. I caught him trying to follow my friend home one time," Natalie said with a disgusted look.

A burly teen with black hair followed by two smaller boys showed up a second later. He began yelling at Nathan. He grabbed Will and screamed in his face, "Why in the hell did you let him go?!"

"I don't even know the kid and you best let me go," Will snarled and pushed the bigger boy off of him. In a flash, Nathan dove between the two of them and sent the black haired bully to the ground.

"Come on Chuck," Nathan said in a condescending tone, "can you not keep up?" With that the shaggy haired boy zipped off again.

Natalie grabbed Will's arm and they ducked into a shop before the three boys could start something. Natalie looked panic. She knew those three were bad news. "Be careful around those three. They're sophomores and that big one, Charlie, broke Rob's nose. They used to be on the quodpot team but got kicked off when they started a fight against the Holliday Dragons. That Nathan kid is one of the dumbest boys in town that's why he tries picking fights with them."

"Okay, I'll watch out for them, Nat," Will said and oddly enough, he meant it. He could tell they were bad news.
