Here's how the pack comes together for Lief.

Chapter 10: You're One of Us Now

The next day, Jojo, Mike and Cody were walking across the hallways just talking with each other and joking around a bit and Cody said, "I swear to you guys, every single video I made of me pulling pranks on Mike got like 5 million views."

Jojo seemed intrigued by those numbers and asked, "Really? Where?"

"Where else? On WhoTube." Cody added.

Mike rolled his eyes at his brother for that and he said, "Dude, that is just cold. Now I'm gonna be humiliated all across the freakin' globe."

Jojo lets out a small chuckle and added, "I'd be humiliated too if one of my 96 sisters filmed a video of me and put it on WhoTube, but with like 8 times than yours."

They see Diego, Marcus, Zeke and Max come by along with Brent, Brutus and Lars as they ventured towards the hallways catching up with them and Diego said, "Sup, my buds?"

All of them pulled out their secret handshake and started laughing and Diego turned his attention to Cody and said, "Yo, Codes...congratulatons on having 9 million subscribers on WhoTube. Your vids are funny as hell, man."

"Yeah, especially the one video where you dropped the big water balloon on top of Mike's head. That was funny, man." Brent said, laughing.

Mike felt completely embarassed after mentioning that one video that Brent just mentioned and he lets out a groan and said, "I got humiliated by that video for one day."

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure that in a few years from now, we'll look back on this and laugh." Cody said.

"Not me."

As the boys were walking, they witnessed Ren pinning Lief to the locker along with the other japanese gang members, just punching, grabbing, shoving and pushing him down through the floors and to the lockers. Jojo immediately went up to all of them and pulled them apart just to break up the fight and end the confrontation once and for all.

"Move it, outsider!" Ren demanded.

Izumi got into Jojo's face and he shouted, "Yeah, we're gonna give Lief what he deserves!"

Diego and the others got in front of all of them and they seem like they're ready for a fight and he said, "If I were you, I would beat it right now."

"Yeah, we have no problems shoving our knuckles under your asses." Zeke exclaimed angrily.

"Shut up. We've got unfinished business to tend to." Ren said, his voice getting more menacing.

Jojo and the rest of them placed themselves behind Lief to shield him around and Marcus cracked his knuckles and said, "You'll have to get through us first."

Most of the gang members could see that they mean business and Ren shouts a command in Japanese to retreat, but not before looking at all of them and said, "This is far from over. We will still finish the job for our revenge."

They walked away and after this, Jojo looks behind and saw Lief curling himself up into a ball and he placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "You all right?"

Lief slowly looks up at them and he seemed both relieved and confused and as he got up, he replied, "Yeah."

Marcus looked a little confused by what was happening there and he asked, "So why all of a sudden that you're being harassed by the same gang?"

Lief dusted himself off and replied, "I quit the gang."

Everyone except for Diego seemed very surprised and shocked to hear this come out of nowhere that Lief had quit the gang and Zeke asked, "Really?"

"Yeah."

Most of them found it hard to believe that he actually decided to quit the gang and thought that it was all just an act for his gang, but when Lief saw the looks on their faces, he knew that chance of redemption would be a little short and he just lowered his head down with feelings of regret coming in. That one little look made everyone think twice about doubting his words and Max asked, "You were serious?"

"I am definitely serious. I left the gang life behind." Lief responded.

"I didn't believe it at first, but once he told me this yesterday...I could tell that he feels remorse for even participating with them. We oughta give him a second chance." Diego said.

Lief looks at all of them and he said, "I am really, really, really, really sorry for what I have done and I am especially sorry for almost trying to kill some of you. I didn't want to do it."

Jojo then comes up to Lief and he said, "Well, you're one of us now. This whole group will shield you from these guys for all it's worth."

"That's a promise." Brutus added.

Now, isn't that awesome! We've got more coming your way, so stick around!
