The next day at school Alex and Chris were both very comfortable. They did whatever they wanted to do without any bullying from Ace and his gang. During each break after every class, Ace would follow Alex, and just look at her. Sometimes he would say hi, and walk away. Chris was quite uncomfortable with this situation, but he didn't say anything, because the important thing was to be with Alex. And Alex was his, for one more day.
It was the last class of the day and Alex and Chris were getting ready to go to the classroom, when Eyeball came up to Chris and hit him in the stomach.
"Hey! What'd you do that for you moron!" Chris shouted.
"That was for not being at home when you were supposed to. I had to do all the work yesterday because you weren't at home."
"I forgot."
"I thought I dropped you off at home Chris. What's the deal?" Alex whispered.
"I couldn't. I went to the treehouse instead right after you left," he whispered back.
"Well, that's not good enough. You're stuck at home for a whole week, without me. I'm gonna go out every night," Eyeball yelled at Chris.
"You can't do that. You can't leave me alone with him!"
"Watch me you moron. Just watch me."
"Hey Eyeball, lay off of him," said Ace from the corner he was standing in.
"What did you say?" Eyeball said, obviously shocked.
"You heard me. By the way, what do you plan on doing every night? I'm gonna be at home."
"You what?"
"Ace, what are you doing?" Chris shouted, annoyed by his behaviour.. "It's between me and him. Go away."
"Hey Chris. Let him talk. He's saving your ass," said Alex quietely to Chris. Chris didn't like Alex's attitude.
"He always has to put his nose in my businesses. I just want him to leave me alone dammit," Chris was about to cry. He was so angry, he sat down on the floor and just put his head in his hands and sighed.
"This isn't over Chris! I'm gonna see you at home!" yelled Eyeball. "And you!" he said turning towards Ace. "You."
"What?" Ace smiled.
"What the hell are you trying to do huh?" Eyeball said as gave Ace a little push.
"Whoa there Eyeball. Calm down. I just didn't want you to do anything stupid, that's all."
"You shouldn't put your nose in my business Ace," Eyeball said as he gave him another push.
"Ok boys. Break it up," said the assistant principal, Mr. Felson. He got in between the two boys and pushed them aside.
"This is great, I've got you troublemakers all here at the same time. I need to make an announcement for you all. You all need to be at my office, or on second thoughts, we're pretty crowded so let's all go to Mrs. Hall's classroom after school."
"What for?" Eyeball asked. "I didn't do anything."
"We'll see about that Mr. Chambers. Just all of you be at the classroom after school. And this goes to everyone that's here."
"What? Me too?" said Chris getting up.
"Yes, you and Alex and everyone else. But it's not only you, don't worry, I got ten more kids coming in as well."
"Well, what's this about Mr. Felson?" Alex asked.
"You'll see it after school. If anyone is thinking of not coming to this meeting, you'll get detention from Monday to Friday, and the whole day on Saturday," Mr. Felson said and walked away.
"I wonder what this is all about," Eyeball said.
"Well, we're gonna find out after class. Let's go. The bell rung already," Billy said.
All the kids went to their classes. Everyone was wondering about what the big meeting was going to be about...
