Chapter 5: Arthur
Guren walked across the hallways in his school, sudden yelling came from behind him. He turned to see what the ruckus was.
A boy his age, on a wheelchair, was being hassled by a group of three bullies. The victim had poofy black hair, square glasses, and somewhat dark skin. He wore a shirt portraying stickmen playing video games. He also wore shorts and sneakers. He was also noticably skinny.
One of the boys was the one Guren talked to on the bench. The other two...
One was bulky and had purple hair, black eyes, and dark skin. He wore a t-shirt, pants, and combat boots.
The last one, most likely the leader, wore a hoodie, but the hood pulled over his face. The hoodie was black, and showed a skull on the hood. You couldn't see a piece of flesh, as his hands were also covered by black gloves. He also wore black pants and combat boots. His bulk was impossible to see.
"Hey, cut it out!" the wheelchair boy said.
"Why should we?" the purple one asked.
The orange one pushed a stack of books the wheelchair boy had on his lap to the floor. The three laughed and left.
"Freak." the black one said.
The wheelchair boy tried to reach for the books without avail.
"Oh."
He looked down glumly, but when he looked up, he saw that Guren had the books in a straight stack.
"Now what?" the wheelchair boy asked angrily.
Guren just shrugged and said, "Just trying to be friendly, y'know?"
The wheelchair boy relaxed and sighed. "Name's Arthur."
"Guren."
Guren helped carry Arthur's books for him.
"So, why were those guys messing with you?" Guren asked Arthur.
Arthur sighed and said, "Because I have Asperger's Syndrome. And I'm known for being a nerd."
Guren smiled and said, "Nothing wrong with that. Me and my friends back at Benham City think that makes people special."
Arthur grinned.
Benham
"So, uh, now what?" Ceylan asked the others.
The five were back at Mister White's, and this time with the shopkeeper to give them advice.
Mister White cleared his throat and said, "Somethimes, the bird has to watch the worm first before catching it."
"Now, what does that mean?" Toxsa asked.
Gen cleared his throat and said, "We have to spy on those renegades."
With the silence following, they all could hear Beni finish her call.
"Wow, really? Awesome. Love ya. Bye."
Everyone looked at her.
"What?" beni snapped.
Ceylan, Toxsa, and Chooki tried to keep in their laughs, but just let it out. Gen chuckled to himself.
"WHAT?" Beni asked again.
"Nothing." Ceylan lied, and burst out laughing again.
Beni, who got the gist, said, "I was joking. I didn't really mean it guys."
"Right." Gen said.
The other three howled with laughter.
Beni's face got red as she said, "I... I was just... checking how he was doing."
The three stopped laughing. Chooki asked, "So, how's he doing?"
Beni sighed and said, "He just met a boy named Arthur. Says they're good friends. Not in your way though, Ceylan."
Ceylan sighed in relief.
"He got any new girlfriends?" Toxsa asked.
"Oh, you little-" Beni started.
So, uh, yeah. This chapter was to show some Earth stuff. I also wanted to do some of the romantic plot.
