Chapter 22: Are You Experienced?

Our two groups of people or so go to English, where, in there, the setup of tables is the same as in Math, unlike Spanish. The first group that makes it to the room is Ed, Double D, Marie and May. Their seating was actually free this class, so they were able to choose wherever they wanted to sit. Double D was asked by Marie to sit with her, and he accepted her offer. May asked Ed sheepishly to sit with her, and... to her utter surprise, he says yes. Weakly, though. And so, the two pairs sat in the top left two tables that were both facing towards the front, towards the board. There were 2 more tables behind them that were empty, as this class was a 8 and 8 seat class, which meant 4 tables per row. Ed then asked Double D,

"Where is Eddy and Chris, Double D?"

"First of all, you should use are, not is Ed. Second, not to worry Ed, I'm positive they will be here soon. They might be revising the room numbers to find this class. Just hope that they didn't lose their way."

Funny enough, conveniently, the other crew of peeps enter in through the door. Eddy sees the sight of his friends... with his enemies. However, he decides to ignore this, because he is aware of Chris told him. Regardless, Eddy tells Chris,

"Let's sit behind Marie and Double D dude!"

"Alright sure. Hey, uh, Skylar? Wanna sit at the table behind us?"

"Sure. That's okay with me."

And so, the whole left row is taken by our crew of 7 people. Skylar took the seat behind Chris, and took the other empty seat by putting her backpack on it, and simply waited until the class started. Eddy turns to Chris and, teases him by saying,

"So... you thinking what I'm thinking...?"

"What?"

Eddy laughs a bit before whispering, "I saw you and Skylar, you like her do ya?"

"SHHHH!"

Chris said that kinda loudly, which... sort of gets Skylar's attention, but she chuckles at him.

"Oh jeez..." Chris says, as he can feel his energy shooting up a bit.

"Eddy, you will keep this between us. Yes, she's cute okay, I'll admit that one hundred percent. But I don't exactly know if I really like her like that, I don't even know her that well dude, I mean... yeah I got to know her a bit better during Math, but remember what I said... patience my friend. It WILL pay off." Chris said to Eddy in a very quiet tone.

"Alright... if you say so." Eddy responded to him, laughing a bit.

And so, with that, the teacher comes inside the classroom, and begin to introduce himself.

"Hello there everyone, my name is Mr. Araya, and I'm happy to see you all today. Please settle into your seats and as you've most likely have done in your last class, you will introduce yourselves and... as a bonus, say an album or song that you love and explain why. If you want to of course."

When the teacher introduced his name, Skylar and Chris chuckled slightly, as they both laugh because the last name of the teacher is the same as the singer of the band Slayer, which the two are big fans of. Regardless, the teacher said,

"Let's start with the left side of the class. Your name?"

"Hello. My name is Ed. Hmm... I like the song that has that name!"

"...what's the name?"

"Uh... Bad?"

"Oh... I see, you mean the Michael Jackson song? That's a good one. Glad to see you Ed. Next up?"

"My name is May, and... honestly, I like the same song as Ed."

"Alright then. Pleased to see you here May. Okay, next?"

"Good morning, my name is Eddward, but I go mostly by Double D. As for a good song... usually material made from Mozart, Beethoven, and many others similar."

"Ah, a classic one now, are we? Hope you have a good time Double D. Okay, who's up?"

"Marie, I'm actually May's sister, and as for a song, I like some stuff like The Misfts, Motley Crue and that type of stuff."

"Oh snap, a punk kid huh? No worries, just poking fun at ya. Happy to see you here Marie, hope you do well. Next up is...?"

"My name is Eddy, and as for your song idea... I would say She's A Lady from Tom Jones, it's what I like!" Eddy said, trying to sound more cool. Everyone laughed a bit, although not a "making fun of" matter, more just everyone found it funny.

"That's pretty funny Eddy, hahaha. Anyways, I'm sure this class will be fun with you in it, glad to see ya. Next?"

"Name's Chris, and... I'll give you three types of songs. There's the more angry songs like Slipknot's Metabolic, and there's more neutral cool songs like Motörhead's Crazy Like A Fox, and lastly there's the really fast lads like Slayer's Haunting The Chapel."

"Ah snap, a Metalhead, hmm? I'll ask some more questions later, but for now though, I'm glad to have you in this class. Next up, the lady in the back?"

"My name is Skylar. I like similar music to Chris, but also other sorta similar metal stuff like albums such as Kreator's Pleasure To Kill, Deicide's Legion, and other such stuff."

Chris turned to Skylar and gave her a thumbs up, and Skylar simply stuck her tongue out at him, winking her right eye in the process.

"Ahahaha! Another Metalhead huh? That's great, at least you'll both have something for a conversation. Happy to see you Skylar."

Marie saw what occurred and she asked Double D, quietly. "Is that Skylar chick hitting on Chris?"

Double D simply responded, "I wouldn't assume such Marie, for all we know they might just connect on music really well, and it makes them friends."

The rest of class introduced themselves in a similar manner, before Mr. Araya said, "Alright, here's the mini game for today. Based on what we heard about our favorite songs, we are going to play a game where you write down five songs on a paper, and we will put it out, and someone has to guess who that is. I will you the papers, and you will have around ten minutes to do so."

Proceeding with that, everyone got their papers and begin working on what songs to pick. However, once the timer began, Chris was poked in the back by Skylar, who said,

"I have a funny idea."

"Oh yeah?"

They did their little idea, with Eddy... both unintentionally and intentionally eavesdropping on their conversation. For the record, Eddy kept his promise to Chris, as strangely enough, this time, he wasn't jealous of him, he was more happy for him then anything. In fact, he was beginning to feel that same way for his friends in general, even Double D and Marie. After the conversation he had with Chris the previous day. It seemed to open up some more perspective on this whole thing. Eddy was soon catching himself daydreaming and began his work. Among other things going on, surprisingly, Ed and May were SLOWLY getting accustomed to each other, at least getting used to not having some weird chase 50 yards across the cul-de-sac. Either way, they both still had a while to go. Marie and Double D are just having a conversation about what songs they are picking, but they agree to not say the answer which their paper is picked up. Anyways, Mr. Araya says after 10 minutes, "Time is up everyone, please let me collect your papers to get this prepared."

And collect the papers, he does. Mr. Araya throws them together into a bin, and he randomly picks one. The paper has... a drawing of a monster fighting 5 knights riding on horses? Adding onto the fact that the drawing wasn't the best in detail, with some weird line along it.

"Umm... well, this isn't a song or music, but... hey! It works for this guessing game. Who's drawing could this be?"

May is the first one to guess, saying, "That's Ed, right?"

Ed simply said, "Yep. Ed is the one who drew that!"

Mr. Araya laughed before saying, "Well May, you're correct, as Ed just proved."

The whole class shared a funny laugh, but May blushed a tiny bit in her cheeks, which... catches the attention of Ed, who says, "May, why are your cheeks turning into ketchup? Are you okay?"

As if the last laugh wasn't enough, Ed saying that out loud made a roar of laughter rise, with Eddy, Chris, Skylar, and Marie sharing a laugh aswell. Double D chuckled at Ed's statement, but May? She only went more red. The class would've continued the laugh, but Mr. Araya says, "Class! Let's move on shall we, thank you."

Mr. Araya pulls out another paper and he sees... a normal paper. It's simply 5 songs, "Alright... who likes songs like Mommy, Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight, and Banned In D.C?"

This paper is obviously Marie, but Double D, of course, kept his promise to his girlfriend that he wouldn't spoil it, as it would be too easy. The one who gets the answer is actually Skylar, who says, "Surely that's Marie?"

Marie turns around and says, "Yep."

"Not bad. Those titles though... huh... ahaha." Mr. Araya said, before pulling out another paper, which had 10 songs on it?! "Hmm... there's ten songs on this one, so that means we have two people who grouped up to make this. Alright, this should be fun. Let me read the first row."

Mr. Araya clears his throat before saying, "The Wizard, Now You See It (Now You Don't), You've Got Another Thing Coming, Straight Through The Heart, The Trooper, and Follow The Tears. That is the first list."

Then Mr. Araya reads the second list, "Spill The Blood, Overkill III (Under The Influence), Over The Wall, Bonded By Blood, Tornado Of Souls, and Keep It In The Family. That's the second list. So... who is who?"

Double D chuckles a bit before saying, "Surely that's both Chris and Skylar."

"Well... yeah... but which list belongs to who?" Chris responds to Double D.

"Yep. We knows who's who." Skylar said.

Eddy attempts to guess, "I'm just gonna assume Chris, you are the second one, and Skylar's the first."

Mr. Araya laughs a bit before saying, "Eddy, you are correct! They actually wrote who's was who's on the paper, so, nice twist you two!"

"You're welcome." Both of the lads say together, before they fist bump each other.

The rest of class was just like Mr. Araya has planned for everyone, just that everyone's songs usually consisted of Rap or Pop type songs. The people who guessed the most during the rest of the period were Double D, Marie, and Eddy. Regardless, once Mr. Araya finished everyone's papers, he says, "Alright then, since we are done with that... I'll allow you to vote as a class, free time to chat, or one more game?"

"Either one is fine with me." Chris says,

"Alright then, everyone else?"

The class decided on another game, surprisingly, as they already had free time in their last class, and it would just be too repetitive to have free time every class.

"Alright... here's how it will work, We will make groups of 4 or 3 people, and you are going to produce a song. We will take 10 minutes for this, but I'll grant an extra 10 if we decide we need more time at the end. I'll be deciding who's song is the best. First thing, choose your groups!"

Marie turned to Double D, and surprisingly, she tells him, "I'm gonna go pair up with May, alright sweetie?"

Double D couldn't help but be curious as to why, "How come Marie?"

Marie doesn't respond, she simply only kisses him on the lips for a quick second, and says, "You'll see."

Double D chuckled a bit, before then deciding to ask Eddy, "Would you like to join up for a group Eddy?"

"Heck yeah! Chris and Ed! Come on over!" Eddy told the two lads.

"Alright. I'll talk to you in a bit Skylar." Chris tells her before going to join up with the boys. Skylar responds to him, "No worries. I guess I'll join Marie and her sister. See ya soon."

Skylar goes to Marie and May to ask them, "Can I join with you two?"

"Sure. Let's team up, since the boys are grouping up together." Marie said, snickering a bit.

And so, the boys and girls got to work on their songs. Let's first see how the lads are doing. So far, they are running into a block of what it should be about, Ed is suggesting an action movie inspired song, Eddy is suggesting a "pick-up" song for the ladies. Double D is suggesting a more calm, relaxed and possibly romantic song, and lastly Chris is simply suggesting a more mysterious type of song. In comparison, the ladies, Marie, May, and Skylar settled on... a topic that they all agreed on, but kept as a secret. Marie then tells the girls, "I got a funny idea. Watch."

Marie shouts at the boys, "Hey boys!"

Eddy hears her and says, "What do you want?"

"We challenge you to see who's song wins! You accept it or..." Marie says, speaking for her crew. Double D chuckles a little bit at his girlfriend's challenge, but Eddy was feeling more competitive, and said, "Ha! You're gonna lose! What's on the table!"

"The losers have to get the winners their lunch at lunchtime." Marie said, laughing, along with Skylar and May.

"Oh jeez... that's not even that much for a punish-" Chris almost said, before Skylar cut him off, by saying, "...for the whole week."

The girls laughed a bit, with Double D and Chris being kinda embarrassed, while Ed still doesn't understand what's going on really. Eddy then shouts at them, "IT'S ON NOW!"

But the problem with what Eddy said is... THE LADS DON'T HAVE A THEME FOR THEIR SONG! The ladies already have their theme, so, if the lads want to stand a chance, they better get something down quick.

"Alright, here's what I propose for our song. Maybe we should try to mix our ideas. But let's be sure it will make sense." Chris said, before Double D proceeded to add onto his statement,

"Sounds like a plan!"

Eddy then says, "What's the title gonna be?"

"Maybe... Pawns VS King?" Chris suggested, before Eddy said,

"What?! That sounds boring! Is it gonna be about chess?"

"No, dingus. You'll understand when we get the song down. Here's the plan, I will do the chorus, Ed, you will do the first verse, Double D will do the second verse, and lastly Eddy, you will do the bridge. The ending can just be the chorus." Chris told the crew.

"To work it is my friends!" yelled out Ed.

Meanwhile with the ladies...

"So, we got it down?" Marie said.

"Yeah, you are doing the chorus Marie, I'm doing the bridge, and Skylar, you are doing the verses?" May responded, and with Skylar saying,

"Yep. I gotcha."

Marie decides to tease her and say, "Don't try to be impressing him now."

"What?" Skylar said.

Marie laughs a little before saying, "I'll tell ya more later, let's do this. They won't see it coming."

Mr. Araya comes over to the ladies and says, "I saw that you three did a bet with the four boys over there. Just for fun, I'll play into your game and I'll decide between who is the winner. Good luck."

The girls shared a laugh, as to them, they were confident in their own idea that they shared. Maybe a bit too confident. Anyways, 15 minutes later, everyone submitted a song, with the bonus 5 minutes thanks to our two crew's little challenge. Mr. Araya said, "Alright, first thing is first, we have a little challenge between two groups. The first one is Ed, Double D, Eddy and Chris, and the other group consists of Marie, May and Skylar. Can I please have the first group go first?"

Double D said, "Gentlemen, it is time to go up!"

"Let's hope this works... oh man..." Chris said, before he told everyone, "This song is called 'Pawns VS King' by the by."

And so, our lads moved up to the front of the class, before they stood there, until Ed decided to begin reading the lyrics he wrote, which... well...

"Our enemies are coming! The pawns go across and about! They fight through the Knights along the board! All along the Queens and Horses! They fight and fight!"

The whole class shared a laugh at Ed's part, and he clearly misunderstood the song as it talking about Chess... so his lyrics were adjusted to that. It was time for Chris to read the Chorus, as that was his part. He clears his throat before saying,

"The crown of mine is cold and heavy, I ain't the saint, I ain't the truth, I'm just the heart of cold ended lies. Fighting through my fights to save my own self, while I look around my vision."

Chris passed the paper of the song to Double D, who's part was the second verse, and so, he began to read.

"The one who follows the path that is least unconcealed isn't always following the most nonpareil road. He who learns his choices with more curiosity, and takes the paths not always shown to them, shall matriculate themselves more with knowledge."

The class was pretty interested in that lyric, as it had more meaning than the last two sections. Anyways, Chris read the chorus again, and it was now Eddy's turns for his lines.

"Taking my winnings with me back to the throne, I sit and watch my own story unfold behind my own head, but also on my eyes, and the wife just gave me the proposal. I am sitting with my winnings, and feel a sense of accomplishment."

To top it off, Chris read the chorus one last time, and the whole class clapped for the crew. Mr. Araya asks, "I assume the parts were written by the person who read them? So, Ed, you wrote the first part?"

"You betcha!" Ed said, with a silly smile.

"Well... I must say that, Double D, your part was REALLY well done. Chris, you were second, and Ed, along with Eddy... we will see if we can find some improvement. Overall, the effort is well done. Could use some polishing? Yes. But hey, it was fun!" Mr. Araya says, then laughs pretty loudly.

"Alright, ladies, your turn."

Chris pokes Double D on the shoulder as the boys return to their seat, and says, "We are screwed. But I doubt they made something that great. No offense though."

"I wouldn't be so certain Chris, the ladies seem to have a trick up their sleeve. Let's see what."

Skylar begins to speak, "Okay, so, this song is called 'Can I Give It?'"

Eddy says to the boys, snickering, "This will be an easy win."

Skylar begins reading the first verse,

"I have this titillation that I wish to share, for you only, yet I don't feel quite ready. I'm just stuck in a contingency thought that would keep me in a euphoria, looking into your clear open mind."

Everyone was INSTANTLY interested in what the girls made, and then Marie starts speaking her part, which is the chorus.

"Looking into your sweet eyes, I had a moment where I saw a person to consider trusting with my heart. But can I give you it without you taking it and breaking it?"

Yeah... the lads are not feeling very confident right now. Or, most of them, as Eddy thinks that it's mostly a simple love song. Regardless, Skylar begins speaking again, as she had to do both verses,

"Let me explore your mind, my interest of the persona underneath your skin intrigues me. I wish to see who I'm truly giving my all to. Safer than sorry, yes, but I'm the one who feels."

Eddy whispers to the lads, "This is cheesy, we will surely win!", but Double D simply tells him to shhhh, with the other two not paying attention to him. Either way, Marie reads the chorus once more, and then it's now May's turn to read her part, the bridge.

"I know I'm not the most perfect, but all I ask is just one chance to trust you with me. Life isn't long enough to think everyday, I just wish to be with you by your side, day in and day out. Please?"

And Marie reads the chorus to finish up the song, and everyone claps a LOT louder than when the lads finished their song. Mr. Araya claps too, and says, "You three did an amazing job. All the parts connected extermely well, and it feels like it has emotional weight to it. Now, I know you, and the group of four boys did a challenge... but before I say who won in my eyes... Class! Vote who did better. Raise your hands if you say the boys."

The only person who voted was Eddy and... that was it. Of course, Mr. Araya laughed, but he wasn't gonna count that, as... shouldn't it be obvious? Either way, he then says, "Okay. Raise your hand if you say the girls."

In what seems like nanoseconds, the whole class raises their hands, minus the two groups, because... they can't vote. Either way, Mr. Araya nods his head, before he says, "Alright class, my vote for the winner is..."

Chris jokingly taps his hands on the table, as to imitate a drumroll, and Mr. Araya, chuckles, but then says,

"Marie, May and Skylar, you three win this little challenge!"

"WHAT?! Oh come on! What made theirs better than ours?!" Eddy says, flabbergasted that his group lost.

Double D sighs before he explains, "Eddy, for one thing, their sections were much more connected to each other than ours, and their theme was consistent throughout the whole thing."

"But ours was more cooler! Their song was just a love-"

Chris cuts off Eddy by saying, "Dude, I'm pretty sure Mr. Araya wasn't exactly considering the topic. He was looking for our structure, how we connected things, lyric meaning, that sort of stuff. Just accept it okay? We lost, and there's nothing else we can do here really. Their song was pretty good though, can't lie."

"The last part was cool!" Ed said randomly, although he clearly didn't understand what the song was truly about.

"Well, it seems you four have to get us lunch for the whole week." Marie told the boys, with the other two girls laughing a little.

"Ugh, fine! It's not the worst thing ever I suppose." Eddy said, obviously annoyed that he lost.

"Alright, now that your little challenge is done, may the rest of the groups present what they have?" Mr. Araya said.

The rest of class presented the songs they managed to produce, and once everyone provided their songs, Mr. Araya lets the class vote on who's was the best, and, surprisingly, Marie, May and Skylar's song won yet again, with everyone else getting around a handful of votes, and Ed, Double D, Eddy, and Chris getting none.

"Wow..." Chris says, simply flabbergasted.

Skylar sneaks up behind him and says, "I think I know who's getting us lunch, hmm?", which causes Chris to yelp and jump a bit, as he wasn't expecting that at all, and then afterwards it begins making the class laugh, and he responds,

"WHAT THE!? DON'T DO THAT YOU... Ugh..." Chris didn't even finish his sentence.

This causes the class to laugh a bit more, and Skylar simply chuckles at him, before sticking her tongue out, and winking again.

"Well... she's someone to get used to..." Chris said in his mind, as, he won't admit it, but he finds her playful attitude... attractive? Was it attractive, funny, or something else? Either way, he didn't exactly mind this, but it was quite the embarrassment in hindsight.

Skylar goes join Marie with May, and she tells the former, "Seems like they now get us our lunch for the whole week."

"Yep. Double D, come over!" Marie says, and of course, Double D comes over to the two, and he asks them,

"Yes Marie?"

"So, ready to take our lunches for the whole week?" Marie said seductively, which made Double D insanely nervous, as yeah, he should be expecting this behavior from her, but him being used to it is something else. Either way, he says,

"As long as you don't request something of absurd quantity, it will be in my manners to provide!"

"Relax dude, we won't order something ridiculously expensive or enormous, we aren't intending to stress you four out." Skylar said.

Eddy then said, "Come on! And besides, who am I supposed to deliver food to anyway? Wait... HA! I'm off the hook! There's only three of you, and four of us, so it doesn't work!"

"What are you going on about this time?" Chris said.

Eddy explains to Chris, "Ed is gonna deliver for May, Double D for Marie, you are delivering for Skylar, and me? I'm free!"

Double D sighed before saying, "Eddy, you forgot about Lee. She simply isn't here today."

Eddy's expression of excitement turned into annoyance, "NO WAY! I'M NOT DELIVERING HER ANYTHING! ESPECIALLY AFTER-"

Chris quickly covered Eddy's mouth, because he knew what Eddy was going to say. Chris then says, "SHHH!!!"

Eddy removes Chris's hand and rephrased his sentence to just say, "Forget it! I'm just not gonna do it, stupid bets..."

Chris facepalmed before saying, "You were the one who got all four of us into that bet, not me, Ed or Double D."

Eddy simply ignores him as he sits in his chair, and Chris rolls his eyes, and decides to turns his attention to Skylar,

"So, for the whole week eh?"

"Yeah. I don't order that much stuff, so you'll be fine dude." Skylar says, playfully punching him in the arm.

Chris laughs a little before saying, "Alright, if you say so."

However, May had to talk to Ed about the whole bet, since he WAS included in this whole thing. She simply approaches him and says, "Ed? Umm... are you okay with this whole thing?"

To May's utter surprise, Ed responded to her saying, "May has Ed's word of... promise? For delivering food!"

"Okay, just wanna make sure you are good with this..." May said, before waving her hand to say bye, and Ed waves back. May had gone back to join up with Marie and Skylar.

Everyone goes back to their original seats, and Mr. Araya simply says, "Since we have some extra time, you all are free to talk, and play around a bit!"

And that, everyone does. Chris speaks to Eddy about the whole bet, as basically everyone came to an agreement about the whole situation, but Eddy kept refusing the whole idea.

"Dude... remember what I told you? The whole conversation idea? Yeah, act like this and that will never happen."

Eddy groans before explaining himself to Chris and saying, "I can do that conversation, but being a slave? No thank you."

Chris couldn't help but laugh at what Eddy just said. Slave? "Eddy... you gotta be kidding... I can't even believe you just said that... wow."

Eddy gets more annoyed and tells Chris, "Lee makes me feel that way! I am not doing her chores!"

Chris cooled down a bit, but still chuckling at Eddy's over-exaggeration, "Alright, on a more serious note, seriously, just go with it. After all, it could be way worse, in fact, I feel more lucky than anything, because what if we were forced to do their homework?"

"You know... you got a point. Alright fine, I'll do it as long as Lee doesn't order stupid things." Eddy said.

When it comes to the rest of class, everyone simply talked about random things before break officially began. Mr. Araya said, "Okay everyone, it is now 10:40, please go and enjoy your 15 minute break! See you tomorrow!"

Eddy says to the boys, "Let's go join Kevin and the others!"

"Sure thing. Marie, I will see you when?" Double D asks Marie.

"I have Science next, so..."

"Funny enough, I have that aswell. So, I shall see you later then?"

Marie kisses him and hugs him at the same time, before saying, "You will."

Chris, before leaving with the crew, tells Skylar, "See ya in Science then."

"Sure." Skylar responds, chuckling a bit, before they both do a fistbump, and so, they all leave the class.

Skylar asks Marie as she's leaving class, "Mind if I join up with you guys for the break?"

"Sure, that's fine. Come on." Marie responds to her.

Let's see what the lads are doing first, shall we?

Ed, Double D, Eddy and Chris went to the basketball court, where they found Kevin, Jonny, Nazz and Rolf all at the court, playing basketball, minus Nazz who decided to watch.

"Hey Kev!"

"What's up Eddy? How did your class go?" Kevin asked him. Chris simply answered that for Eddy, saying,

"You sure you wanna know?"

Kevin laughed before saying, "Did dorky get himself in trouble with a chick?"

"Chicks. More like."

Chris explained the whole deal to Kevin of how, Marie did a bet where whoever writes the best song wins towards him and the Eds, and Eddy, being hasty, accepted it, and they couldn't get a good song down in time.

"So let me get this straight, Eddy picked a fight that he very clearly wouldn't have won, and he got mad that he lost?" Kevin asked, dumbfounded at this situation, which was hilarious to him.

"Yep. And now guess what? We have to deliver their lunch for the whole week. Ed for May, Double D for Marie, Eddy for Lee, and me for Skylar."

Kevin laughed a bit, and also did Rolf and Jonny, before Kevin proceeded to say, "Wow, so you guys are basically slaves now? Eddy really threw himself out there, huh?"

Eddy groans before going to the two and saying, "Oh come on! How was I supposed to know they could make a 'better' song than us?"

"Just let it go man, jeebus... alright, I gotta go use the restroom. Anyone know where it's at?"

"Let me show you Chris." Double D said to him.

Double D and Chris go to the restroom, while the rest of the crew stay at the basketball, and Eddy tells Kevin, "You should've seen what Skylar did to Chris, scared him during class."

Kevin laughs a bit, saying afterwards, "Man, my guy has his shot. Hope he takes it sooner than later."

"Tell me about it!" Eddy says.

Speaking of which...

Marie, May and Skylar went to the cafeteria, which was open and the lunch people were offering mainly fruits, veggies, cereal, and milk for the cereal. The three girls decided to skip the snacks, as they didn't really want them really. They sit down near the end of a table, and Marie asks Skylar, "So, why did you want to join us? Not that I mind."

"First day here, tell ya the brutal truth. So, can't really say I know where to go and stuff..." Skylar responded with a little bit of a tired tone. She then asks Marie,

"I heard from... Double D I think was his name, that a Lee wasn't here. Is that another sister of yours or a friend...?"

Marie, not knowing how to explain why Lee isn't here to Skylar, says, "Sister. She's sick, but it seems she'll be ready for tomorrow. Thank god we got her schedule, or else we'd have to bother the office about it."

Skylar nods her head and says, "Makes sense. Wonder how she would've reacted to the bet. Nice going by the way."

The three girls share a laugh at that statement, before Marie then says, "Yeah, glad that those boys don't really mind. Expect Eddy, as usual."

"What's his deal? It's not like we are forcing him to do every daily activity we do for us!" May says, before sharing a laugh once again.

"Yeah. Chris seemed fine with it. Eddy though... he is so ridiculous though." Skylar said before chuckling a bit. Marie figures this as a perfect time to tease her, by saying,

"So, you and Chris... hmm...?"

"What?"

"I saw how you eyed him! I'll keep this as a secret, don't worry."

Skylar shrugged a bit, before saying, "Okay relax. He seems nice and all, but I don't know him THAT well yet to decide that stuff yet. Give it time, alright?"

Marie rolls her eye at her, and laugh a little too. Marie then says, "Alright... surrree. And May? Seems like you and Ed are getting more used to each other."

"Yeah, but it's still hard... do you think I'll have a chance?"

Marie slaps her sister in the shoulder; before saying, "Of course! Tell me right now, did you ever expect Double D to get with me, ever?"

May nods her head to say no, before Marie says, "Exactly. Trust me, just try to have more conversation with him, and he'll come around, and heck, you might have a boyfriend!"

May smiled a bit at that statement, before saying, "Do you really think so?"

Skylar joined in and said to May, "Heck yeah! May, it's all about patience and connection, just don't rush it, take your time with Ed."

The two girls were trying to cheer up May to get more confident in terms of talking with Ed, as it seemed she needed it, and Marie and Skylar were more than willing to help a friend out, or in Marie's case, a sister out. Either way, the two girls spent their break talking to each other about random things, whether it was things about each other, May and Marie asking Skylar questions about herself, and many other topics.

Back to the boys...

Eddy, Kevin, Rolf and Jonny had been playing a game where it consisted of Eddy and Kevin vs Rolf and Jonny. So far, the game was 1 to 1, and whoever won the next point won the thing for their pair. Double D and Chris also came back from the restroom, and joined up with Ed and Nazz, who simply decided to watch, as the former had something on his mind. But he was soon broken out of his thoughts when his friends came back.

"Hi Double D and Chris!" He yelled out.

"Hey, we are back now. At least they don't make the restroom a process to go to. Oh goodness man... that was so bad." Chris said to Ed.

"What's going on now?" Double D asked, as he saw Eddy and Kevin teaming up against Rolf and Jonny.

"Sockhead! Just trying to get-"

Eddy was cut off by the fact that Rolf shot his shot at the basket and made it, making him and Jonny win the whole thing.

"Rolf shoots to win, yes?" Rolf said out loud.

Kevin groaned a little at the loss, and Eddy just walked away from the court and joined his crew again. Before he could speak, Chris asked, "Please tell me you didn't bet something again... we already have enough with the girls, we don't need anything else mate."

"No! We're fine, it's just what does a guy gotta do to win something around here?! We are always losing!"

Chris laughed a little before saying, "I think it's just that you are picking fights that aren't for you. Writing songs? It doesn't seem like your thing my dude. Besides, the girls seemed to have their idea down on paper much easier than we did ours anyways."

"You know Chris, I never thought about it, but was there a secret message within the song?" Double D told Chris. Ed then brought up,

"Gentlemen, we must know that the ladies simply want to show their affections for certain people, whoever those people might be. They simply worded it in a more thought provoking way." Ed said joining Chris and Double D's conversation.

Everyone simply stared at Ed with eyes wide open, as him saying something like that seemed very... unnormal. That's not even a word.

"Ed, you there?" Eddy said, snapping his fingers in Ed's face.

"Hello Eddy!" Ed responded. Everyone simply chuckled at him, not fully understanding where the song was coming from. Chris then says, "Maybe I should ask Skylar during Science. Double D? Ask your lady what the song meant. That is if she has Science with us of course."

Double D told Chris, "Now that you mention it, I'm certain that Marie has Science with us, so I guess we shall find out the actual meaning once class starts."

"Alright. I know Skylar has Science, so I'm sure that I'll be able to ask her sooner or later. Speaking of which, is it almost time for class?"

The bell rings, which lets everyone know to start heading to class now in order to be on time and not be late.

"Speak of the devil." Chris says, then laughing a bit.

"Time for Science fellows!" Double D told his crew.

And Science, it is.
