On the way to school, Emma was walking when she heard music, she narrowed her eyes as Jimmy Brookes' car passed, eyeing her down like meat with the rest of the 'blue' robots, that's what she called them.

"Coming to the environmental meeting this afternoon Emily?" Craig asked.

Emma sighed, "Yes Craig."

"Cause you didn't show up last time." Jimmy declared, driving slower to keep up with her.

Emma bit the end of her tounge, looking over, "I was sick."

"You showed up to class." He shot back.

Emma stopped and so did his car. She got a little scared and swallowed, "I'll be there okay?"

"Good." Craig informed with a smile, but then glared, "Wouldn't want you going down the wrong path. Hanging out with Jay and all the other day."

Emma gave an odd look, that use to be his best friend?

Speak of the 'devil', Jay's orange civic slowly rolled up between them and Emma hid her smile as he nodded simply at the other car, "Top to the morning!" he cheered sarcastically.

They rolled their eyes and started left.

Jay looked out his other window and nodded inside his car, Emma seemed to think it over but smiled a little, going into the passanger door.

"What was that about?"

"They don't like me hanging out with you."

"I like you hanging with me." Jay said and grinned cheekily.

Emma sighed and laughed, "I know your ways Jay. You can't get me into bed, got it?" she taunts and he nods, lifting his hands up as if giving up.

His ways though? He hadn't used his ways since out from juvie. Actually, since seeing Emma again he hasn't flirted with any other girl...didn't even feel the urge to go talk to Alex and find out what the fuck happened with them either.

He glanced to Emma, "I'm shocked your not in their club."

"They.. creep me out." Emma admitted, looking out the window.

"Why?"

Emma looked at him, raising an eyebrow. "You don't notice? Their desperate measures to be perfect, hating anyone whose not, their deathly glares like they WILL actually kill you if you don't pretend everythings la dee da...Don't forget Dean Mason gone missing."

Jay bit the end of his tounge and asked her, "Why do you think they changed?"

"I don't think they changed..." Emma declared as they parked into the school lot and she turned to him, "I think someone changed them."

He gave her a wierd look with a smirk. She scoffed, grabbing his hand.

Emma led Jay behind the school, he didn't mind this 'holding hands' thing too much, he grinned until she pulled him into the back way of school, they snuck into the basement of the school and Jay gave a look as Spinner was already down there, smoking again.

Gees this guy was tripping about something, no pun intended.

"You sure he's ready to see this?" Spinner asked Emma, exhaling his smoke.

Jay had to laugh at them, "Are we in a secret fight club?" he teased, eyeing Emma curiously and playfully until she punched his arm, "Woah! You didn't say start."

"This is serious." Emma growled.

Jay shut up when he heard a bunch of voices, Emma guided him to a door she slowly and quietly cracked. The three stuck their heads out and watched some conference go on.

"Sean seems to be really fitting in." Raditch told Sean's parents who sat in the audience and smiled together, "We thank all the other parents for coming to see who our new member will be."

Jay looked around confused, what was this?

He noticed all the jocks and cheerleaders on the stage with Raditch, happily smiling like creepy robots as he talked.

"Please meet the new members parents." Raditch pointed to the doors that opened and in came two parents.

Emma tilted her head curiously, whose parents were those?

People were clapping and Raditch explained, "For a year now we've developed a weekend camp that will perfect your child's mood, behaviour and grades. You will not be disappointed."

The clapping got louder.

So...they were sent to a camp to be turned like this?

"There is no camp." Spinner whispered to Jay.

Raditch announced, "Manny Santo's will be our new joiner!"

Emma's eyes widened, "Manny.." she sadly whispered.

Spinner quietly shut the door and Emma started to pace back and forth, panicking. Jay slowly turned around and shook his head.

"So what was that?"

"That my friend?" Spinner says, "Was the last time you'll be seeing Manny normal."

Jay shrugged, "She seems to hate them, I don't think she'll be joining their 'club'."

"They don't have a choice!" Emma cried, "Don't you get it?"

Jay eyed her a bit worried, what was she so upset about, "No.. I can't, I'm sorry?"

"Their robots man, true robots, brainwashed or something." Spinner told him, "I saw Craig break someones wrist when they left the mathematics club."

"Ellie threatened to slit my throat if I didn't come back to the environment club. The only reason I'm getting away is because my step dads a teacher." Emma told Jay.

Jay clenched his jaw, trying to understand all of this.

Emma snickered and said mostly to herself, "But.. my step dad is probably telling Raditch about all the clubs I've been dropping out of... hell, I'm probably after Manny!"

"I'm just lucky I don't have a caring father who would go sign me up to be a robot." Snickered Spinner.

Jay finally shouted, "SHUT, up." They turned and stared at him, Jay gave Spinner and insane look before walking to the door and then stopped, looking at Emma and admitted, "Your crazy." He teases, "Emma, I like you.. but your being nuts. Come back to me when your all sane again." He joked but she wasn't laughing.

She glared madly at him, "So your best friends usually just betray you? Don't see you when you went to jail FOR THEM, they try to make you 'be good' when they haven't had the best record? Ellie being a cheerleader with Alex wasn't shocking to you?" she taunts.

Jay's mouth kind of hung, he didn't know what to say, Emma just hissed, "Whatever!" with that, she shoved by and left.

Jay sighed sadly, looking to where she left and over to Spinner.

Spinner shifted a bit and shrugged, "Last year after you left, Jimmy was first to change, then Emma had a new boy friend, Peter.. he went missing for a few days and he changed too.. next was Emma's friends.. since they were already half way there... she has no one anymore. They taunt me a lot.. but they thrive on letting Emma know she'll be one of them soon."

Jay swallowed hard. This couldn't be true... it couldn't.

Jay stormed out of the basement and down the hall. Everyone was in class and he stopped at his locker to punch it, hard.

He didn't want Emma mad at him, and he didn't want Sean to be some robot, he wanted his friends back!

He punched the locker again.

"MR HOGART!" came a shout.

Jay turned to the one and only Raditch who glared down at him, he jumped a bit, not seeing him even come up.

"Don't you have class to attend?" as Raditch spoke, he saw Sean and Jimmy passing together, smirking and whispering to another as they narrowed eyes at Jay.

Jay gave Sean a look and then stepped around Raditch, "Mommy and Daddy finally got fed up with your ass?" he taunts.

Jimmy looked at Sean when he stopped and turned to Jay.

Raditch looked between them oddly.

"Sent you to the jocks' little 'gang'. Do you solve mysterious together?" Jay taunted him, Sean stormed over but caught his cool and then stood inches near him.

"Shut up." He growled at Jay warningly and looked back to Jimmy who crossed his arm.

"Solve this mystery, when did you become a kiss assing little robot bitch?" Jay snapped.

"Mr Hogart! Detention! NOW!" Raditch yelled and jumped back when Sean smashed Jay up against a locker.

"You stay away, from us.. got it? Far away." Sean's eyes looked into Jay's rather closely, Jay gave him a confused and a bit of a concerned look.

Sean let go and straightened his shirt out before leaving. Raditch didn't even give Sean a detention.

...what the hell was this guy doing to his friends? To these students...
