Our story opens up with Milo walking to the bus stop, where Zack, Bradley, Chad, and Logan are waiting for the bus to arrive. As Milo walks in, Bradley and the two students quickly back away from him putting as much distance as possible. much to Zack's confusion.

Much to Zack's confusion, he tilts his head toward the other boys before addressing to Milo."What's that all about?"

The boy just gives him a once-over before coming to a conclusion. "Oh, you're new here. I've got a bit of a reputation." He says simply before going quiet with a smile still on his face.

Zack shows surprise and then smiles jokingly. "So what are you, a tough guy?"

"Oh, I don't think anyone ever called me 'tough'," That wasn't true. "I'm Milo." He says putting out a hand to shake.

Taking the hand in his own he Shakes Milo's hand with a grin of his own. "I'm Zack."

Apparently that must have been the wrong move judging by the warning whispers going on behind him making him look back to see the other boys shaking the heads. "No Zack! No, no, no, no, no..."

Ignoring their warnings with a brow arched Zack continues talking with Milo. "So what exactly is this reputation?" He asks. Now he really wanted to know what this guy was known for.

"Well, people have used the 'J-word' but you know what they say, 'Sticks and stones can damage your vital organs so always wear body armor.'" He proceeds to Knock on his chest, which emits a wood-like noise. Hearing this, Zack shows some concern.

"Hi, Milo."

"Sup, Milo?"

Both boys turn their attention to two other teens making their way toward them. One a girl with bright orange curly hair, Melissa. The other being an older looking teen with dark-short curly hair who was happily munching away on a breakfast burrito in one hand and looking of a mixture of laziness, carefree and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Mason Dakota, Melissa's host brother who has been living at her house for nearly a year, and the one guy Milo has been slowly falling hard for.

His first crush. Such a cute thing.

"Hi, Melissa." The boy greets warmly to her before addressing to the taller teen who was busying himself with his food at hand. "Hi, Mason, another double breakfast burrito this morning?" He greets slightly rubbing his arm.

The taller teen looks down at the smaller boy behind shaded glasses and giving a wolf-grin that would make anyone shiver."You know me, Milo. I can't resist these bad boys." He then gestures to Zack with a tilt of his head. "Let me guess, new guy?"

"You guessed correct! Mason, this is Zack. Zack this is Mason. He was new here too last year." Milo introduces the two to each other.

Zack gives a wave. "Hey."

Mason nods his head in greeting before looking back to Milo with a knowing grin. "So have you caught him up to speed yet, or is he in for a big surprise?"

Before Milo can answer Melissa takes this time to look around herself to see if there is anything dangerous before speaking up. "I'm just gonna stand back here if it's alright with you guys." She says to them and takes a big step back from Milo.

"Good call!" Milo replies with a thumbs up.

Mason simply shrugs while taking another bite of his burrito, staying in place next to Milo.

By this point, everyone is staying their distance from Milo except Zack and Mason.

"So Milo, how was your weekend?" The curled-headed girl asks.

"Eventful!"

"Yeah, I bet."

Milo then lifts his left arm. "I got a new scar." Mason then takes hold of the brunette arm to get a closer inspection, causing the other boy to shed goosebumps at the contact the other boy's rough hands gave off. "Sweet, one of your best ones yet."

This brightens the smaller boy's smile even more. "I know, right? Wanna see, Melissa?"

"Sure!"

"Ok." Milo takes a picture of his scar on his phone and sends it to Melissa.

Melissa pulls out her phone when it dings and takes a look at the picture. "Oh cool! That is a good one."

By this point, Zack begins to worry about what is happening. "Alright, seriously, dude. What's going on here?"

"What do you mean?" Milo asks.

"I mean... what is all of... this?" He gestures to the other kids who are still keeping their distance. Mason looks up at the three boys clearly quivering in fear and nervousness and can't help but scoff amusingly. "Heh, scaredy cats." He mutters taking another bite.

"And what is the "J-word?"

Milo tries to explain Quietly to Zack. "Well, I don't like to say it out loud..." But he doesn't get the chance.

Ding. Ding.

Mason's eyes widen at the warning sensors going off in his head and quickly stuffs the remaining of his burrito in his mouth all while scouting all around him at what had set off his alarm. Suddenly, A loud snapping sound can be heard which catches everyone's attention and a bungee suddenly falls out from somewhere in the air. Mason is quick to take it in one fist.

Zack takes a closer look at the object. "Huh, it's one of those heavy-duty bungees they use to tie stuff down at construction sites." A clicking sound causing to look up to find the other boy fastening a helmet over his head while the taller teen straps his backpack tightly. "Hey, where did you get the..."

Milo then looks up at the taller teen with a still too happy grin. "You ready?"

Showing off his own perfect grin Mason cracks his knuckles. "Bring it." He saying smirking.

"What are you guys talking about..." Zack's answers come in the form of large concrete drainage pipe coming after them. Milo puts a helmet on Zack's head before all three males run for their lives with Zack screaming loudly. Bradley, Melissa, and the two students at the bus stop are left behind.

Bradley huffs looking at the other boys. "I bet my pudding pack we don't see them again today."

Oh, this was a challenge Melissa was not going to miss. "I'll take that action." She says walking up to them.

"Really?"

"Yeah, are you kidding? Milo's tough. And with Mason with him, those two can handle anything. As a matter of fact," She takes out a pack of snickerdoodle from her backpack. "I'll see your pudding pack and raise you a snickerdoodle... or are you just all talk?" She asks challengingly with narrowed eyes and a smirk causing the other boys to snicker.

"Woah."

"Tch. She just called you out."

Back with the three teens, Zack continues screaming as the pipe continues chasing them down Danville Road. It's by this point he notices that the other two boys are not crying in terror of what is happening. "Wait, why aren't you two screaming?!"

"I find it doesn't help. Just hurts the larynx." Was all Milo had to give.

"And besides," Mason pipes in. "this is hardly worth getting worked up for." He says as if it was the most casual thing.

"What!?"

"Although this is making my stomach a little queasy." Mason huffs while clenching his middle with a slight discomfort expression. "Ugh, I should not have eaten three of those burritos."

Milo looks at him in horror. "You had three of those monsters in one morning?! Again?!"

"They were delicious!" The older teen cries defending himself.

Zack couldn't believe what he was hearing. "How can you two be talking about food at a time like this?!"

Mason simply gives a shrug and a not too innocent grin. "Hey, anytime is the perfect time to talk about a good chow!" Lifting his head he looks at the streetlights they are passing and then at the bungee still in his hand, calculating the time and angle he finds the perfect cast. Circling an arm around Milo he pulls him in close while twirling the bungee over his head. "You better hang on to his backpack if you value your life!"

Zack does just that before all three are swinging on a street light and into the air but the bungee breaks as they are midair, the three fall and end up running backward on the pipe.

"That bungee was definitely defective." Milo simply stated.

"Yea, no kidding." Mason pipes up. "That's a lawsuit waiting to happen."

Loud barks suddenly catch all three teens' attention. Mason is the first to find where it's coming from and can't help but grin. "Aw, Milo look who wants to come with us."

Looking down they find a small dog running alongside the pipe, barking up at them.

"No, Diogee!" Milo calls out pointing out for the dog."Go home!" Taking the hint Diogee heads toward the other direction. "Silly dog." Milo says to Zack and Mason "He's not supposed to be in the street."

Suddenly the pipe begins to fall down the steep road and down the hill before hitting a wooden fence and throwing the boys off the pipe and down towards the mud at the bottom of the hill.

Ding. Ding.

Warning alarm back on. Mason, now covered in thick mud, is quick to look up. Without hesitation he wraps an arm around Milo again, bringing him closer. Milo looks up as well then at Zach. "You might wanna slide over this way a little bit."

Zack wastes no time in listening as the pipe then falls onto them, causing the splash of the mud to shoot them straight up the pipe where they land hanging onto the edge of the pipe from the inside.

Zack is at a loss of words, trying to process what just happened before looking at the boy who was more than likely responsible for all that had happened by that point."The "J-word" wouldn't happen to be "Jinx", would it?"

Mason pops up in between the smaller boys, giving Zach a lazy grin and throwing a thumb at Milo's directions. "Welcome to this cutie's world," (The nickname causes the smaller boy's cheek's to blush brightly.) Before shaking his head causing mud to splatter everywhere and resting his cheek with a fist. "Newbie."

All while that lazy grin still plastered on his face.
