OK, now here comes the 3rd chapter, enjoy.

The following classes are a bit good for Raker, the new boy. Making six new friends had helped him make the school life a bit easy. However, at the same time he also made a nemesis who kept making his day uneasy, like laughing at his birthmark or him joining his new friends. Even when it came to the lunch break, Chandler summoned some of his goons to block the new boy from finding a seat to have his lunch.

"Get out of here, black eye!" Goon #1 shouted, "This seat is ordered. Go to that seat!" He laughed as he pointed to the "sticky table"

"Yeah, and not these seats, either!" Goon #2 laughed, "Those seats are not for losers." But Raker only rolled his eyes, then he left to find other seats.

"That's a totally coward, heh, he doesn't even dare to pick a fight! Isn't it, Lance?" Goon #3 laughed, but he stopped and looked at Lance, who was sitting there, hanging his head and merely has his lunch. "Lance? Lance?!"

"Huh, what?" Lance turned around and only saw the goons look at him suspiciously, "Oh, yeah, whatever." Then he hung his head down and sighed in shame, which didn't get noticed by the goons. However, unbeknownst to him, Raker still got the notice of that.

Meanwhile, Lincoln and his friends were sitting on their table, but they couldn't have their lunch in peace as they saw the goons keeping Raker away from having his lunch.

"Now this makes me more regret when we banned Lincoln to the Sticky Table." Rusty thought to himself, "Being outcast is terrible."

"We should let him sit with us." Lincoln said as all the others nodded in agreement, then he called Raker, "Hey, Raker! Ignore those jerks, come and sit with us."

"Oh, thanks." Raker replied with gratitude as he walked towards Lincoln's table, without caring about Chandler and most of his goons laughing at him. When he sit with the gang, they could find that his lunch box is... rather big, it's a four-decker, actually.

"Wow, that's a BIG lunch box." said Rusty in surprise as he watched Raker's lunch box.

"You said it. I have a big stomach even though I never become heavier." Raker said, "So I often eat a lot." He opened the lunch box and showed his lunch, "My lunch is rice with curry, tofu, fruit salad, fried potato squares, muffins and a can of orange soda. Sniff, sniff. Hey, did I smell carrots?"

"Yeah, those are my carrot sticks." said Stella, "Would you like to have some?"

"Sure do! I'll give you my fruit salad for this!" said Raker, then he was surprised to see Clyde's lunch, "Hey, Clyde! Are those sushi?"

"Yeah, my dad's handcut sushi, it's yellowtail!" Clyde smiled, "Want to have them?"

"Of course! I'll give ya my tofu, it's 100% hand made, you're gonna like this!" said Raker.

"Hey, Raker! Can I have your muffins? I can give you my dad's homemade strawberry pudding." asked Lincoln.

"Ya got a deal, Linc! I love strawberry!" Raker smiled, "Also, now I prefer to call you Linc, I feel that's cool."

"It's OK." Lincoln smiled as the two exchanged their food.

"Aw, man! Grape juice again?" Rusty groaned as he opened his lunch box, "I thought I told my dad I don't like grape juice!"

"I don't mind it." said Raker, "You can have my soda instead of that."

"Thanks." Rusty smiled.

"Hey, how would ya like my special farm-to-table product?" Liam said as he showed his lunch, "Today's special, homemade mushroom sandwich!"

"Bleh! Mushrooms?!" Raker suddenly had a disgusted expression, "Sorry, Liam. But that can't be a deal. I love farm-to-table products, but I HATE mushrooms, they always make me throw up. Heck, I'd rather have 100 tuna kits than that! Even tuna kit can be 1000 times better than mushroom."

"Really?" Zach suddenly cut in as he showed his classic tuna kit lunch, "Finally I've seen a guy who's willing to have tuna kits." Now Raker is shocked and looked at him in shock. Several seconds laters, he finally replied, "Um, fine. At least it's not mushrooms, and you can have my fried potatoes."

Everyone then started to chucked at this, and then Zach and Raker began to laugh, too. A moment later, they started to have their lunch in peace.

"So, how's your life before you move to here?", asked Stella.

"Not so good, actually." Raker grumbled, "The old town I used to live is not a good place, the people there are cold and selfish, the kids and teens are all snobbish bullies, and they always think that they are the best people in the world. The only place I like there is an old shattered house where only I know, and I like to spend time in there in raining days along with my pet fox."

"Hold it for a while!" Liam gasped in shock, "You have a fox as your pet?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" asked Raker, "I have many pets, but my fox is the one of the main guys here. And honestly, in that place where I don't have any friends there, he's kinda like my best friend."

"Hmm, can we see that guy in someday?", asked Lincoln.

"Why not?", asked Raker, "Actually, I can just introduce him to you after recess if you want. But one thing I need to do."

"What is it?", asked Clyde.

"I need to find a secret place to introduce to him." said Raker, "I don't wanna cause any trouble since his antics may be... well, weird to you."

The others were doubtful at first. But then they decided to shrug it off.

OK, now the chapter 3 is done, the next chapter I'll introduce a unique animal. He's not a major character in this story, but he will be in some of my future stories, so I decided to introduce him ahead of time.

Rusty's complainant of his disliking of grape juice is a reference to Just4FunFiction's Lincoln Gets Limber (in Chapter 49). And, the part of Raker's hating of mushroom is kinda based on myself, I'm a guy who love to eat but never put on weights, and also, mushroom can always make ME throw up. Believe it or not, all of it is true.

Stay tuned for Chapter 4.
