AN: Here we go… maybe I'll be able to get this posted and perhaps get a few more reviews (hint hint ). I know that this is going slow and I apologize for that. On top of everything else my computer has been acting strange and my school has the site blocked. Fun fun!

Ok.. here you go.

Chapter 9: Friends... ish

oOoOoOo

Warren groaned. He didn't want to wake up, but something told him that he had to. Maybe it was the annoying sound of Ethan and Zach arguing that was calling him back to consciousness, or it could be the fact that Leyla was telling them that they were going to wake him up and he wanted to see them get their rears kicked by the hippie. He slowly opened his eyes and saw white… just white. He blinked a few times and turned over so he wasn't facing the white wall. "What happened?" he asked bringing a hand to his head to feel the goose egg that had risen on his skull.

"Warren! You're awake!" Leyla squealed making a dash to the side of the infirmary bed he was laying on.

Warren winced. "Yes, I'm awake. Now will you please not make that noise again?"

"Oops…" Leyla looked sheepish.

"So…"

"So what?" Will asked coming up to stand by his girlfriend.

Warren sighed. "What happened?"

"Oh! Kattianna won the game for your team by knocking out Tyner against a wall and saving the citizen. Then she actually looked worried about you…" Ethan said taking a break from his argument about Superman and The Flash with Zach.

Warren raised his eyebrows as the little old nurse came into the room. "Ahhh, so you're awake then, Mr. Peace?"

"No I'm sleep talking…"

The little old lady hit him playfully on the arm. "You stinker. If you weren't in here more than once every week I'd think you were being serious."

"Am I free to go yet, Nurse Spex?" Warren asked standing up and wincing at the pull of a few sore muscles.

Nurse Spex did her trademark x-ray vision thing on him and proclaimed him in on piece. She gave him a lollipop and hurried him out the door just as the last bell rang for the day.

Warren walked the rest of them out to the buses.

"Aren't you going home?" Zach asked him pointing at his bus.

Warren sighed. "Unfortunately I am home. Apparently I will be boarding at the school for awhile… with Cat Girl as my room mate."

"Whoa, Dude! You get a chick as a room mate? Where do I sign up?" Zach asked.

Magenta hit him in the arm hard and Warren glared.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." He walked back into the school and realized that he didn't know where he was going. He sighed and headed for the principal's office.

Outside the office was a very strange looking man. As Warren approached the man gave him a glare that seemed fairly familiar. When he was almost all the way there the door it opened allowing Kattianna and Principal Powers to exit

"… and I don't want you to scare a teacher like that again. I don't think Mr. Boy has recovered yet." Principal Powers was saying to Katt. "Ahh Mr. Haggar, thank you for bringing Kattianna's things."

Mr. Haggar was busy staring at Warren. He nodded slightly at him. "I can tell you are Peace."

"Yes sir."

"Daddy… please.. don't do this here?" Kattianna asked quietly shedding her attitude for a moment.

"Why not, Diane?"

Kattianna winced at the use of her middle name, "because he's sorta a friend… sorta… ish."

oOoOoOo

AN: OK... once again, not my best... but it's here. I'd like a few more reviews... please... they make me happy
