Three Weeks Of CS Part III

Tuesday 07:30

Narrative P.O.V.

(So what? - NOISY)

"Who's the new guy?" Students ask and gossip amongst themselves as a transfer student walks down the main corridor.

So what, I like Justin?

So what, I get drunk quick?

So what what I get anxious when a girl talks and she buzzin'?

The wolf in denim jeans and a black leather jacket matching his black sneakers winks at a group of girls, intentionally aggravating surrounding males. The new student aims to make his first impressions as bold as possible to his peers.

So what, I don't make time?

So what, we do straight lines?

So what, I never revised like a pro kid in a school vibe?

His name is Jason 'Jay' Jericho and his mission is to force Humphrey Williams out of Jasper High by any means necessary.

He spots his target walking into the history classroom alone. Conveniently for Jericho, he shares Consumer Studies and History classes with the hoody-wearing grey wolf. The snowy furred wolf approaches the history class ominously, no longer blending in with the typical high school hallway commotion.

He walks into the classroom and finds Humphrey sitting alone in the corner. He walks towards the back of the class with his intentions unknown to the socially awkward wolf. Humphrey looks up at this wolf and sees one of his hands reaching behind his back. 'Oh shit.' He curses internally. Humphrey slowly positions himself to make a run for it in the case that the stranger strolling in the class had a weapon.

The white wolf quickly stretches out his hand to Humphrey, making him flinch. "Yo." Jason greets. Humphrey stares at Jason's empty palms for a brief moment then after confirming that he was in no immediate danger, he shakes hands with the new 'student'. "Uh... 'sup..." He greets back. "Ha, you actually thought I'd bring heat into a class?" Jason asks.

"Yeah but now I'm more weirded out that you even carry weapons at all."

"Don't worry, pal. My piece is in my car. The only thing you should worry about is your time left in your classes."

"What is that threat supposed to mean anyway?" Humphrey asks Jason. "Wow you're duller than lightbulb in a sandstorm." The new wolf mocks him. "So basically I'm a 'transfer student'..." Jason says while making physical quotation hand gestures. "And I'm gonna drive your sorry ass out of the school via expulsion or rage quit." Humphrey didn't know whether to take this seriously or not. "Why?"

"Either you're really stupid or you're good at keeping your composure."

"Probably both. It's not the first time I've heard this." Humphrey answers confidently. "Okay... you're a tricky son of bitch..."

"Hey Humphrey, I know you're always here first so I figured to stop by for-" Kate as she enters the class then pauses when she sees another student at the back with him."Good morning, Kate. This is a totally new student, here who wants to force me out of the school for no fucking reason. Strange huh?" Humphrey says to Kate.

'Did he really just have the confidence to tell that to Katherine Quinn without any consequence in mind? Well shit, if that's how he's gonna play it...' Jason says internally. "You must be Katherine Quinn, you and your sister are next." He openly threatens Kate in front of Humphrey. The grey wolf clenches his fist in his seat behind him. Kate was startled by this but she expected this to come sooner or later. "Well... I did say waiting around was a bad idea at first, now CSE is sending hit-wolves our age after us." Humphrey says to Kate. Jason sits in the chair ahead of Humphrey, totally at a loss for words because his targets aren't fazed by the fact that he's a teenage field agent sent by a trillion dollar enterprise to hinder, covert or dispose of them. "Well, it could've been worse..." Kate lifts her shoulders in defeat.

"What the fuck is wrong with you two? Aren't you shocked or even a little suprised?" Jericho asks the two students. "Nah/not really." Humphrey and Kate answer simultaneously. "Your mission might've worked if you just kept your mouth shut, dumbass." Humphrey tells Jason. "Shhh! Don't give bad guys ideas!" Kate whispers to Humphrey.

Jason sits quietly in his seat, reflecting at how quickly his one simple mission, pride and overconfidence backfired in a minute. 'How will the agency view this? What will Iris say? How will Iris mock me this time?'

"Anywho... I'm starting a petition for the students. Obviously I can't share that with you while the Spy Kid is in the room." Kate says to Humphrey. Jason slowly becomes irritated by Kate's presence in the room. "Fuck off, I can still hear you!" Jay snaps at the amber wolf. "Don't talk to her like that, Double-O Dickhead." Humphrey tells Jason. "I wouldn't talk so carelessly if I knew I was sitting 10 inches away from guy with a gun..."Jay states.

"You have a gun?" Kate asks, taking a step back from the two desks. "No, he left his iron in-" Humphrey doesn't get the chance to finish as Jason unzips his bag. "I lied bitch." Jay says then pulls out a 9mm Glock 19 with a suppressor attatched to it out of his bag and waves the gun in front of Humphrey and Kate's faces. "Okay, now you're even more stupid because you just showed us a firearm in class." Kate says to Jason as she slowly starts backing away from his desk. He notices this and aims the silenced weapon at Kate. "Ah-ah-ah, this actually makes my job way more easier. Drop out of this school without saying a word about CS or me and I won't have to track you down with my little friend in my right hand."

"You are talking about the gun right?" Humphrey still jokes even while being threatened by the armed student. Jason let's put a fake laugh then fires the gun at Humphrey's pencil bag, scaring the SBC leader in the room. A bullet casing ejects from the gun and Jason catches it mid-air, shocking the hoodie wearing student in the room. Humphrey takes the bag and finds a real bullet stuck inside his calculator through the hole in his little blue bag. "You seriously turned my calculator into a hashtag... what the fuck?"

"Nothing personal bro, just leave the school then we'll deal with what you know from there. For all I know you don't have to die for a couple of files and docs." Jason says to him then puts the gun back in his bag. 'He seriously just walked into the school with a loaded gun? What the hell are the security guards doing at the front gate?' Humphrey asks internally as he stares at Jason's bag.

"Anyway... I'll give you the rest of this week to drop out. My handler would prefer you three alive but dead is also an option." He says to the two other wolves in the room. Kate hurriedly exits the room. "Well that went well..." Jason says to himself. Humphrey ignores this wolf and stares at the hole in his pencil bag.

Next Class: Consumer Studies

Humphrey's P.O.V.

I don't make eye contact with anyone as I rush to my next class. I look at floor as I speed walk which of course wasn't a great idea. I accidentally knock someone over while doing so. "Goddamnit!" I hear Lilly curse on the floor. "Oh crap, my fault." (No shit) I apologize to her and offer to help her up. "We seriously gotta stop meeting like this..." Lilly says to me as I help her up. "Sorry I was focused on other things."

"I know all about it..." She says. "The new guy?"

"Yeah, the whole kit and caboodle. Kate told me he shot your pencil bag?" Lilly says while trying to hold in a laugh. "Yeah, R.I.P calculator." I say as I pull out my barely functioning calculator with a bullet still stuck in the middle of it. "Wow I'm not gonna lie, that looks kinda funny." Lilly tells me. I shake my head at her and shove the calculator back in my pocket. "#MathematicalAbuseIsAReality." Lilly jokes, knowing that the calculator was gonna stop working sooner or later.

We arrive at our next class and walk to our desks. My spine slips out of my body when I see the second white furred wolf enter the class with a group of other students. Of course I have to share two classes with this guy. He can quite literally pull out the 9 and bust one between my eyes at any time. "Wassgud Humphrey, and you're Lilly Quinn right?"

"Hm... you know me but I don't know you. Are you gonna shoot my pencil bag too?" Lilly asks. "Wow, so everyone here isn't afraid of guys with guns?" Jericho asks us. "There was a mad quiet kid who strolled in with a P90 submachine gun before so... there's that." I tell Jason. "Well he probably wasn't mad enough to pull the trigger." Jason says before walking away from our tables. Lilly looks at me with worried eyes. "Kinda weird talking to someone who we know could have us bodied at any second..." She states. "Gee, tell me about it. I spent the first 20 minutes of the day, not to mention an entire History class with that guy." I tell her. "Fun..." Lilly says sarcastically before taking a seat.

Lunch Break

Now that Garth was officially part of our tiny group to take down a huge international business, I had to spend less time with the boys and more time Garth, Kate and Lilly during our breaks. Since last week Friday, we've been meeting near the car park during these breaks because that's where Garth first took me off to discuss our little crusade.

"Yo, you're not gonna believe this!" Garth says as he approaches me and Kate. "You remember that guy I told you about that drives a Ford GT and has a shitty attitude?"

"Uh-huh..." I answer slowly, even though I probably guessed what Garth was gonna say next. Even Kate tries to act like she won't see what's coming next. "He-"

"He just transferred to the school." Lilly says rudely cutting Garth off. She approaches us with four trays of food. "Yeah, we kinda already figured that out." She tells him before handing him his tray. "He's an asshole right?" Garth asks us. "Yep." Kate answers. "Shit if he disrespected you, I would've folded his ass right then and there." Garth tells Kate.

"He has a gun you know." I tell him. "Guns don't scare me anymore." He replies. Garth stands up then rolls up his left sleeves, showing us about six or seven visible scars that looked like they were from bullet wounds. This alpha wasn't kidding. "Well shit... best I could show you is my calculator." I try and crack a joke. Lilly and Kate both shake their heads at me while Garth actually laughs at my fucked up sense of humor. "Kate told me about that. I bet it looks hilarious." Garth says. I nod my head and show him the 'corpse' of the now inoperable calculator. Garth rolls on the floor laughing at the calculator with the bullet STILL in the center.

Garth pulls himself together then finally straightens his face to start eating. "So what's the deal with this 'Jason' guy?" Garth asks us. I shrug my shoulders before telling him the sitch this morning. "He told me that his mission was to get me, Kate and Lilly out of the school... permanently."

"He can just wait until after school though if he just wants to take us out." Garth states before taking a bite out his sandwich. "Obviously but he wants us to drop out or have us expelled because we know about Classic Swift. We'd probably just take the evidence to cops or the press or just send the pics of it." Kate explains. "Yeah... and apparently that's not where the fun ends. There's still the matter of what we know about CS and my guess is that he, or someone else will murder us for that." I add more theories to the shitstorm of a Tuesday. "Yay." Lilly says sarcastically.

Garth's eyes widen after something probably clicked inside his head. "So is this Jason guy like a teenage mercenary or spy?" He asks. I was so taken back by that question. "Damn, you sound just like Salty... but yeah he is one of those things, kinda." I reply and start drinking from the water bottle.

While drinking, I see a Corvette C8 speed right past across the school's parking area. Even though it wasn't her car... it still reminded me about Iris. Iris? Iris... Garth said something about Iris before... then it hit me so hard that I choked on my water. "Wait... you told me this guy said he knew Iris?!" I ask Garth. "Yeah, the same chick from the meet."

"What? The Iris that gave me a lift? She hangs out at Haven's Park? You met her?" Kate asks me. "You know about Haven's Park?" I ask Kate. Looks like her and I still have quite a bit of catching up to do.

Now it just clicked for Garth. "WOAH! IRIS IS ALSO A SPY?!" He exclaims, knocking over his bottle of water. "Not a spy, probably just some undercover merc like Jay." Lilly says, even though she hasn't met Iris yet. "Shit these past couple of weeks have been wack..." Garth states. "Then you better buckle up 'cause this shit ain't over yet." I tell him.

Final Class: Mathematics

Thank God Jason Jericho wasn't in this class. I spent more than half of this period prying the bullet out of the calculator instead of doing any of the work in class.

I finally poke the metallic object out of the calculator and it bounces off the table and lands on the floor in a very audible: 'Ting-Cling!' 'Oh shit...' I curse mentally. I lean over to the right and quickly grab the fallen bullet from the floor. "Don't mess around with loose change, Williams." Mr. Toll (my brain couldn't work when coming up with the surname, soz) tells me, thankfully without looking away from his laptop. If you're asking how he knows it's me even though he didn't look up to check... he just does.

Welp since I couldn't work shit out with a dead calculator, I had to go mental with all equations. "What the hell is that?" Someone asks from my right. "What?" I lift my head up before asking stupidly. "You heard me, what is that?" Reba repeats. I fumble with the brass object in my hands before finally shoving it in the pocket of my hoodie. "Nothing, just a coin..." I finally reply to her question. Of course the fellow omega wasn't convinced now. "The hell it is. That looked like a friggin' bullet dude!" Welp, I can't hide this anymore. The more that know the better...

The bell rings and the first thing Reba does is get up and walk to my desk before packing up. "Relax I'll tell you at the front gate, pack your shit up first." I tell my fellow omega. Oddly enough, Reba reminds me of Lilly... if she was a vegetarian. She stomps to her desk and packs her stuff up. Mr. Toll (soz, I genuinely couldn't think off a good generic math teacher name) and the rest of the class watch us. "Is there something you wanna tell the class before we leave?" Shake asks from the corner of the class. The class fills with low snickers and giggles from pretty much all angles. He just had to call me out like that, his oldest bud.

"Okay... now class is dismissed." The class educator awkwardly tells us. I pack my bag and exit the class first. The rest of the class follows so I wait outside for Reba and Shakey (so I can chew him out for his bullshit). The vegetarian and half a wolf exit the class last for whatever reason. "So why was the-" Reba starts but I immediately stop her. "Shhhh! I said front gate." I tell the other darker grey wolf. "I want in on whatever you're talking about." Shakey says to me with a wide smile on his face. "The hell you do! You called me out in class like a proper jerk, tsk."

"It was a joke, plus if Reba's going, I'm going. It's like the rules." He says. I turn around and raise a brow at the shorter wolf. "Yeah... shorty and I are a thing now." Reba tells me. I held back a snicker after hearing her call Sam 'shorty'. "Fine but my ass is grass when I tell Kate." I tell the couple. "Quinn? The student-" Reba asks but my impatient ass cuts her off again. "Body council leader. Yeah, yeah that Kate and Lilly and Garth are in on this too."

"You've been chilling with an ass and two hot girls this whole time?" Shakey asks, sounding a bit upset with me. "You apparently have a girlfriend now so we're even."

—————————————————

"So anyway, I fucked up during my Math class so now Reba wants to know about the bullet from my calculator..." I confess to Kate.

"Woah, woah, woah! Did you say bullet?" Shakey asks. 'Oh boy...' I pull the brass object out of my pocket and toss it to Shakey, who's a 'subtle' geek when it comes to guns. "Woah, a 9mm parabellum (the fuck does that even mean?). Where did you find it?" Sam asks. "The new guy pulled a gun from his bag this morning and shot Humphrey's pencil bag as a warning." Kate explains to Shakey. "And his calculator was the only casualty..." Lilly jokes again, cracking up Garth who is leaning against the wall.

"Uh... so there was a shooting and it wasn't reported?" Reba asks. "It's kinda a bit- A LOT more complicated than that." Kate responds. The look on both Reba and Shakey's faces clearly meant they wanted to know the full story. "Here we go again..."

So there we were, now a group of six high school students were on a mission against Classic Swift Enterprises. There was still the more pressing and recent issue now. Jason 'jerk-off' Jericho. Atleast he didn't know that Garth, Reba and Shakey were in on this shit too. Surely this has to fuck up mission or whatever. I don't plan to leave Jasper High until I graduate and surely don't plan on dying before that, unless I go out on my own terms.

27 September

Friday 08:40

I throw a rubber bouncy ball against the wall, catch it and repeat while waiting for the final member of the six. "We need a name for this group..." I suggest while bouncing the blue ball. "Like?" Lilly asks. "Group names are cringe." Garth tells us but I know he probably has been in group with a name before. Reba finally arrives so now the gang is all here.

"Six Underground?" Shakey gives us an okay name if only it wasn't taken by owned by a movie. "I like that but nah for obvious reasons." Lilly says. "Six." Garth says. "Six what?" Lilly asks him, just as confused as the rest of us. "Just 'Six.' It's short and bold." He explains. "Six it is, all in favor of the Six?" I ask. Garth, Kate, Shakey, Reba raise up their hands except for Lilly. "Soz, majority rules." I tell her. "Whatever..." She grumbles in her response.

Jay walks to the group with his hands in his pocket. I don't trust this guy if I can't see his hands at all times. "Yo." He greets us. "Lemme see your hands." I immediately order from the white wolf. "Hey, don't be so hostile Williams, I just wanted to talk." He tells me, still not showing his hands. "Forget talking, you're just gonna turn me into a hashtag somewhere in the back of the school."

Jason stays neutral and backs away from us. He's a pretty shitty assassin if he thought he could get me away from the group that easily to have me bodied. "Now you've just asked for the hard way, motherfucker..." Jericho states as he disappears around the corner.

The bell rings to start off the school day. "You said that guy gave you until today to dropout. Doesn't that mean he's gonna start force you you or murder you once you leave afterschool?" Reba asks me. "Yep but I have this thought out. Assuming the jackass bribed security and probably Nigel Clinton included, I'd definitely be suspended or expelled once he starts framing me until I take the fall. But with Garth and Kate pretty much being my lawyers here to back me up and probably the rest of the school if they follow them, that might be a likely win." I tell the group as we start walking to our classes.

"You're putting too much faith in us. This guy looks like he's willing to go to the extreme. If he chooses to murder a student in the school with that gun he keeps in his bag then frames you by shoving it in your locker, we can't help you there." Kate says with her ears drooping sadly. "And if he somehow gets his hands on a stash of weed and stuffs it in your bag, we can't help you there too, Coyote." Garth adds to Kate's point.

"Can you not start with that nickname again?" Lilly asks him irritably as she starts walking off in a different direction with Kate. "Sorry, it's a habit." Garth apologizes. "But you get the gist of what we're trying to tell you, right?" He asks.

"Yeah but if that doesn't work, I can always outsmart his traps." I state. "Ah, like creating alibis and making sure your locker can't be broken into with heavy duty security? I can help with all that." Shakey offers. "Bet, I need all the help I can get."

The Lounge: #JusticeForHumphrey'sCalculator

Garth: I've never seen such a level of violence before in my life... who would gun down a sodding calculator?

Lilly: #JusticeForHumphrey'sCalculator.

Humphrey: Sad, all my calculator wanted to do was crunch some numbers...

Kate: On this episode of Top 10 saddest anime deaths:

Lilly: R.I.P Calculator-kun.

Garth: Lol what?

Humphrey: "Calculator-kun" she said.
