The school bell chimed alerting everyone that another day full learning was about to start. The chatter of students and staff slowly died as they entered the building and headed for their proper destinations.
For Room 87 class began a little differently. "Class we have great news today!" said Mr. Schmidt grinning as he clasped his hands together behind his back. "Is it no homework?" shouted a brown haired boy.
"Are we going to Freddy's tomorrow instead of Friday!?"
Mr. Schmidt laughed shaking his head "No...no not quite...you guys remember Orion?" He paused for effect "Well he's back! And he has something interesting for us!"
Liu, Eren, Ivan, and Alice all felt their eyes widen they almost forgot that Orion was back. "Orion come on in!" the teacher called with a smile.
A boy Ivans height walked in his hair was blonde and his eyes were black "Hey everyone!" He chimed waving to everyone, the other students waved back as Orion counties to walk into the room behind him was a suitcase which he was dragging carefully.
"Whats there in the bag?" Liu said with little interest.
Orion grins "Hahaha it's good to see you too Liu!" the blonde boy sat the suitcase down and unzipped his small hands moving quickly inside shoving the plastic and packaging peanuts aside. He grins when his treasure is exposed before him.
He carefully lifts the object in his hand. It's silver and appears to be made of metal, in the center of the small metal square is a super blurry image of what...no one really could tell.
"What is it?" Alice asked squinting hoping that would make the image clear "It's a picture!" Orion said proudly "It looks stupid...I thought pictures were supposed to have images...not blurry colors..." Liu growls.
"It does have an image, it's hard to see but the man who gave me a copy of this said that this is the first picture ever taken. It's a picture of somebody's home from outside. I don't remember how the guy said it was taken but I think it's super cool!" Orion explained walking toward his class.
"You guys want to hold it? I don't mind letting you all touch it." He said holding it out to the student neartest holding it. The class passed it around each trying their best to see the image that Orion could see.
When it came around the small group of friends Eren, Ivan, and Alice studied it close they were determined to see the image! "I think I can see buildings..." Alice pipped as she bounced in on her heels "What do you see Liu?" the three asked.
The small boy rolled his eyes and turned from them not in the mood to gawk at an image that could be anything.
"You're not even gonna look at it?" Eren asked "Orion brought this for us to see you should at least pretend to look it." The purple haired boy said flatly trying to intimidate the other but Liu rolled his eyes.
The school bell chimes few hours into class, and has his students line up for the lunch line. He leads them down the stairs and into the cafeteria line.
Each student is served a helping of Mac and Cheese, a fried square fish patty, a cup of gelatin, and a juice box. The group of friends sit near the massive stage where plays are played, awards and prizes are given out when have collected enough gold slips', and occasionally a movie is played.
Today the stage had a small radio and stereo sat on it and it played music softly that the principal deemed child friendly. "Seriously...why is it playing baby songs..." growled Liu as he slammed his tray on the table. Orion sighed he had forgotten how stressful it was being around Liu.
"Just be happy that the school does this, when I was in Washington I saw schools that had boys sitting on one side of the room and girls on the other." Orion explained stabbing his jello with his spoon.
"That's weird, why would they do that?" asked Ivan as he picked out the fruit in the gelatin "Also why would they put yucky fruits in a jello?"
Eren smiled softly at his friend "Its because grown ups like making everything healthy...they want us to make sure we eat right...you know it's important for us to eat fruit." he scooped up a piece of gelatin and pops it into his mouth along with a piece of fruit "Mmm...it's good with the fruit!"
Orion lights up as he follows Erens lead "Whoa Eren you're right this is good, it's super duper tasty!" this makes Ivan stick his tongue out in disgust but his expression suddenly changes when he hears a new song play on the radio.
The melody starts out soft and slow and as it plays more passion is put into the rhythm when suddenly the song takes on a familiar tune causing the small boy to light up with enthusiasm "It's Freddy's song!"
Eren looks baffled as if Ivan had laid a curse on him. "Sure it sounds like Freddy's song...but the real name is Overture or most call it Carmen..." he explained to his pizzeria obsessed friend.
Ivan stared amazed "So it's a real song!?" Eren nods "A great composer made it...but his name is too hard to pronounce." Ivan beams "Sweet! I love this Auto-tune song even more now!"
Alice chuckled "But you just heard it!" Ivan shrugged "So...and technically heard it all my life thanks to Freddy." Ivan smiled staring at the stage "I can't wait for Friday..." he says with a smile already imagining the animatronics performing on the stage.
He could already imagine eating a greasy pizza as he watch the animatronics dancing, he could picture Chica waving her cupcake as she danced, Bonnie (who Ivan learned wasn't purple but blue) rocking on his guitar and Freddy who lead his band as vocalist.
He was snatched out of his day dream by Orion "Friday? What's Friday?" He asked huddling over his tray to listen to his friends as if they had a secret.
Ivan smiled "Friday we're going to Freddy's pizzeria!" He said happily as he follows Orion's lead "Make sure you get a slip saying you can go too. I want us to play together when we go!"
"Don't worry I won't forget!"
"Promise?"
"Promise!"
Lunch ends and the students are dismissed to the playground. Eren, Ivan, Alice, and Orion all race to the swings and landscape each laughing and playfully tugging at one another. While Liu simply watches from the sandbox, he watches his friends climbing and exploring jumping from the playscape unscathed.
"Hey Liu, wanna play soccer?"
The question surprised the boy spinning around he saw a small group of boys "Soccer?" Liu repeated causing the others to nod "It's okay if you're no good you just look lonely."
Liu looks down at the sand before giving a curt nod "Sure I'll play." He said sounding uninterested, he dragged himself to his feet and followed the other boys to the field.
Alice smirked "Hey look, Liu is going to play a game with the older kids!" She pipped happily. Eren glance over at the field with a grin "Those poor guys on the other team they don't know what they got themselves into..." he said brushing his hair behind his ear.
When the ball was set in the field and everyone stepped back one of the older boys motioned for his friend to kick start the game. Everyone scattered about as they chased after the ball, left to right and right to left the ball went.
Liu dashed out of nowhere running with terrifying speed through the crowd as he swerved and kicked the ball sending it hurtling into the net.
He grins when he hears his team cheering and shouting out his name with praise. "Man you're fast Liu...it's actually pretty scary."
Liu simply gave a mischievous smile as the boy patted his back and motions for him to follow "Come on let's keep playing."
Eren laughs "Did they seriously think that Liu was going to be slow?"
"From the looks on their faces they did!" beams Ivan "Liu is awesome I think he should be in football!" Orion adds as he watches the small boy play soccer.
The bell chimes for the finale time that day releasing the students "Do you really have to go...and when will we see you again?" Ivan asked as he lowered his gaze to the ground. Orion shrugged "I don't know...but I know this time it won't be as long...I do hope to join you guys on the trip though."
Ivan lights up "Really, oh don't forget you promised!" He said holding out his pinkie to his friend.
Orion shook his head "Don't worry I won't." He said grinning.
And the group of students headed off to their respective homes.
