POV: Quinn

I told them it was a bad idea. I told them. But did they listen to me? No. And now? We all have detention. I knew this would happen. I guess that's what makes it so much fun hanging out with them. I'm the smart one. Ralph's the strong one. And Zangief's the stupid one. I mean, he's pretty smart, he just doesn't make good choices. So there we were. Just sitting there. Just us, and the nerds who acctually liked to stay behind and study. They pretty much left us there, and by they, I mean the teachers. Man, they must not have learned their lesson. The only ones in the room were us, the detention junkies, and the three brains of the school. Clyde, Bill, and Nicole. They must have figured that they'd watch us and make sure we didnt get into trouble. How wrong they were. I was just sitting there, serving my time. As far as the other, well, they had their own ways to pass time. Ralph was pretty content, and if otherwise, he never said or notioned anything. Kinda just took up the sport of bird watching, if you know what I mean. Zangief, on the other hand, had decided to mess with Bill.

"Hey Bill. Hey. Why so sour?"

"Please stop it, Mr. Capcom."

"What, can't handle my jokes? Do they make you bitter?"

"Again, please stop it."

" &#%?!"

"What? I'm not hurting anybody."

POV: Zangief

Okay, so I was messing with Bill. Not like I killed him. Though I could if I really wanted to. Anyway, Quinn made me cut it out, which was kinda a bummer. I didn't dare to joke with Clyde. The guy got paranoid real easy. And Nicole? No. That girl chased us across the school with a baseball bat, and if her mouth was a game, it would be rated M. But this didn't seem to affect Ralph. Speaking of him, I decided to mess with him.

"Hey dude. Anymore staring, and your nose'll bleed.

"W-What? No! Just shut up! This is your fault."

"So, it's my fault you're checking out the queen of the nerds?"

"It's your fault that we're here."

"Hey, cheer up! Remember, today's Wendsday. Tapper's night."

"Well, yeah. But I didn't intend to spend every second before it in detention!"

"Yeah, you'd spend it crushing buildings."

"For the last time, I do not do that!"

"You are such a liar."

"#% ?"

"See, even Quinn agrees!"

"$&##%!"

"I know, but how do you suppose he gets so...him?"

"Will you guys just be quiet?"

"Look, I know you like her, so let me I've you this advice. Trust me, it works."

"Oh boy..."

"It does! You wanna impress someone in that kinda clique, ya gotta act tough. I know this may be hard for a softy like you, but try. You gotta act tough, get as close to her as you can, and most importantly, deny everything."

"What?"

"Like when she asks you if you're following her, say no."

"You want me to stalk her?

"That's one way of putting it. I call it affectionately following, but potato, tomato."

POV: Ralph

There was no way in hell I was taking his advice. Not when it had just gotten us into trouble. But to be fair, it wasn't entirely his fault. His older brothers always giving him bad advice, I acctually kinda feel sorry for him. The only one who ever has anything sensible to say is Bison. Now that guy is a psychic. Thought I don't appreciate him spreading rumors about me...doing certain things during class. It's none of his business what I do with my time.

"How about...no."

"#€%!"

"Okay, okay. I get it. you don't have to be so rude."

"You really need to stop taking advice from your brothers."

"Well, that's what they did, and look at them now!"

"Ryu's gone to jail twice, Mega is a loner, don't even get me started on-"

"At least I have brothers. All you got is that annoying ass sister."

"She is not annoying! Maybe a little, but she's smarter than them!"

"And I suppose-"

"Will you three shut up?"

I had no idea what the nerds were doing, but when I looked back up, they had this whole mountain of books. I will never and may never understand them. But Nicole looked pretty cute. Yep, she's my little snitch. Eventually, after a while, the bell rang. That meant we we're free. The nerds started to pack up, except Bill. He didn't mind sitting alone and reading. The next stop? Tapper's. And after what I had been through that day, I needed a drink.
