Ian and Anthony were both in 10th grade now. As the last bell rang, cheers erupted from Math. "See you next Monday~!" Their math teacher said. Anthony walked up to Ian at his locker, and said, "Hey, can I bomb a ride with you?" Ian nodded. "Yeah! We can get some pizza, and maybe buy Halo, too. Sound good?" Anthony nodded. "Definitely."

Ian opened up his door, pizza box in one hand, and Anthony carrying "Halo". Ian's mom greeted them. "Anthony, what a suprise." She said sarcastically. "Hey, Mrs. H." Anthony said. "Don't mind me." Ian showed Anthony to his room, and they both sat on his bed. Game time.

Ian opened the box of pizza, while Anthony put in Halo. The title screen blared on the screen, and the battle began. Anthony stuffed a piece of pepperoni pizza in his mouth, getting ready to shoot. "Where ARE you?"
Ian said, getting agitated. "In your pants." Anthony said between bites of pizza. Ian laughed. "That's a scary place."

At about 6:30, Anthony said, "Sorry dude, I gotta go." Ian nodded. "I'll drive." The 2 left the house, and got into the car. Driving in the darkness, Ian said, "That was fun." Anthony agreed. "Thanks for having me," He said," I owe it to you." Ian looked at him. "What did I do?" "You burst my emotional bubble. I have friends."
