When class let out for lunch Will made his way to the lunchroom forgetting Layla in his anticipation to get there faster (he had forgotten breakfast). He sat down at his usual table with Evan already there. "Hey Evan" he said as he sat down. He paid no attention when Evan did'nt give him an answer and he also did'nt notice the look Evan shot at him either, because Layla Zach and Magenta had just walked into the cafeteria and Will was waving them over. Zach and Magenta sat down next to Evan, accidentaly knocking his books off the table. "Im sorry Evan " apologized Zach looking over "Yeah, let me help you get those" added Magenta getting up to help. "No its ok guys, I would'nt want to interupt couples hour in the cafeteria" Evan muttered as he scooped up his books and left, almost running into Warren and his new girlfriend. "What was that about" Magenta said in an offended tone "I was just trying to help!" she continued. "He probably just had a rough morning" reasoned Will. Everyone nodded in agreement, although Magenta still looked a offended. Everyone at the table quickly forgot about Evan's outburst, and their regular conversation(teachers,boys/girls and music) started up again.
Evan stormed his way through the halls heading towards the library."I can't take it anymore, there always so happy and lovey dovey it makes me sick". He fumed to himself as he burst through the doors to the library, after a quick glance around he realizd that he had taken a wrong turn and had ended up in the gym. He threw the doors open and left the laughs of the class inside behind him."They have no idea what I'm going through, but it does'nt matter," he thought to himself "I dont need them anyway."
Back in the cafeteria Will was the onyl one not talking exitedly about something or other, instead he was staring out the window of the school into the clouds. Layla caught him daydreaming and lightly punched him in the arm. "Huh, what!" Will stammered, almost falling out of his seat. "Whats on your mind?" Layla asked tilting her head. "Oh nothing important, just Evan. What was with him anyway?" Will replied lokin around the table for any idea as to waht was wrong with their friend. When he received no answer's Will merely shrugged his shoulders an everyone else got on with their conversations.
Next period was gym and Will could'nt wait. He and Warren had been champions of save the citizen for as long as anyone could remember. Will raced to his locker and grabbed his gym cloths and he bolted back to the gym, nearly knocking Evan through a wall. He reached he dressing room just as Warren was leaving, already in his equipment. "Better hurry up stronghold that dummy's not going to rescue itself." Warren called after Will as he raced to get dressed. He and Warren stepped out into the arena to the applause of the crowd. They both waved and smiled as Coach Boomer anounced them, "...champions for 7 weeks running, Warren Peace and Will Stronghold!" the crowd broke into louder applause. When Will and Warren had made their way to the center of the arena and the crowd had died down, Coach Boomer announced the challengers. "And challenging our champions today are Larry and Evan! Suit up and make your way down to the arena!" yelled Boomer at his usual overly loud tone. The two made their way down to the dressing rooms with Larry trying to start a conversation."So do you want to be heroes or villains?" asked Larry in a vain attempt to start conversation. "Villains." said Evan flatly."Well whatever we are it will be tough to beat Will and Warren, I mean no offense but melting can only go so far" Larry said with a laugh. "Don't worry, you just take care of Peace, I've got something that will knock Stronghold to pieces" Evan said without changing his expression. Larry opened his mouth to ask what, but thought better of it. They finished gearing up in silence and made their way over to the arena entrance. Larry turned to Evan with a smile "Lets go out there and try to have fun" he said holding his hand out for a high five. Evan pushed his way past him without a word and into the arena. Larry took his hand down slowly and followed him out.
