"Everyone, this here is Greg. Please welcome him to our school." The teacher stood in front of the class, introducing Greg. The green-eyed boy smiled shyly at all the kids.
Connor and Amaya were the first ones to welcome him. The other students followed their example.
"You can sit next to Connor and Amaya," the teacher said to Greg.
"Okay." Greg walked over there and sat down at the same table as his new friends. They smiled at him, and then all three focused on the teacher as he began to talk to the whole class.
Soon the bell for recess rang and all the students ran outside to the playground. But everyone skidded to a halt when they saw the destruction. The swing set was now on the opposite side of the yard, the slide was flipped over, and the merry-go-around was turned over, with dirt all around it.
"What happened here?" Greg gasped.
"I-I don't know," Amaya stammered.
"Whoever did this will get what they deserve," Connor declared, turning to his two friends.
"What can we do?" Greg asked. "We're not superheroes."
"Oh, I'd love to be a superhero!" Amaya exclaimed, rummaging through her backpack. She held up a comic book. "Just like Flossy Flash!" She turned and attempted to do a kick, but she stumbled and fell backwards.
"Are you okay, Amaya?" Greg held out his hand and helped her back up.
"We're not superheroes, so we can't do moves like one," Connor pointed out gently.
"Hey, look at this!"
At the sound of another student's voice, the trio turned to see Cameron holding something orange and very sticky.
Greg poked it and pulled back. "Is this some kind of… sticky splat stuff?"
"Hmm," Connor said as he scratched his head. "Looks like we can't play on the playground today." He frowned, and Greg and Amaya sighed.
The teacher called from inside. "Come on, kids! We can't have recess today. We can do something indoors instead."
As Greg and Connor turned to go inside, Amaya caught up to them and said," We should go to the comic book store after school."
"Cool!" Greg responded while Connor nodded in agreement.
Outside the comic book store, the trio was just arriving.
"There's a new Flossy Flash comic out," Amaya announced happily.
"You gonna get it?" Greg asked.
Amaya nodded. "My mom gave me money."
"Cool! We should—" Connor stopped mid sentence when he opened the door and saw the store destroyed. Comic books were everywhere, and the shelves were knocked over.
"Wha—? How did this happen?" Connor demanded.
"Can't we have any fun anymore?" Amaya looked like she was about to cry.
"Hey! What's this?"
Connor and Amaya turned to Greg, surprised to see him holding the same sticky splat stuff that was at the playground.
"What is this stuff?" Connor asked, exchanging a look with his friends.
Greg shrugged. "I don't know, but the same person—"
"Or thing," Amaya added.
"—that wrecked the playground," Greg went on," ruined the comic book store too." He dropped the sticky splat.
"What do you want to do now?" Amaya asked.
Connor thought for a moment. Then he smiled. "Wanna have a sleepover at my house?"
"Yeah!" Greg responded, while Amaya said," Unless whoever or whatever did this shows up at your house, that should be fun."
Connor laughed nervously, imagining his house getting sticky splattered, but he decided to still have the sleepover anyways.
