The-AO-Squad: School Wars book #2/chapter4

Chapter 4

After math, the two were forced as usual to split up. Kate would head off to History, and Humphrey to Science. The classes seemed to have flown by because it wasn't long when the bell rang and then everyone headed to fifth period, which after five minutes into that class, would be time for lunch.

Kate was heading down to lunch now in fact, mind still boggled from this morning's encounter.

It's ok... gosh, why must I worry?

Syrita was waking beside her, eyes astray before she finally turned to Kate now, eyes filling with confusion. "Um so what was it that Humphrey was talking about it English this morning?" She asked but in a playful tone for getting at Humphrey's ways.

Kate quickly shrugged at this. "I-I don't know." She muttered quickly, but then added, "I-I really don't."

Syrita gave her a look and then shrugged as well. "mm"

Kate and Syrita were just headed out of the stairwell and into the hall when Kate's eyes flashed by the dark gold-brown colored figure of Peyton, her favorited Cool Kid.

Kate couldn't help but flinch and quicken her pace, Syrita slightly complaining. "W-Why are you speeding up?" she asked.

Kate couldn't quite answer that truthfully, for she new Peyton and some more of the other Upper Classed wolves were behind her, chatting away.

She then only came up with a common answer. "Well... I-I don't want the line to be full, or whatever. I hate waiting" She acted, making Syrita only nod. They then finally made it to the Lunch room. Kate quickly rushed by the register and grabbed a milk (seeming, you could skip others if you were just getting milk).

No time for pizza.

No sooner did she spot Humphrey waiting for her at their usual table. He was waiting on her, so the two could set off for the bathroom just down a small corridor that trailed off of the lunch room. This was becoming a common routine of theirs, every day once they reunited at the Lunch room.

As soon as Kate hurried off with him, Humphrey began pouring out. "OMG Kate, you wouldn't believe it. While sitting in History, I heard Alasia, PJ, and even Mariah already taking about something like 'Pointguards'" He panted, explaining with a worried look.

Kate tried to keep her own rising fears down at this. "W-Well what else did they say?"

"not much, cause they were whispering, but the way they added an 's' to Pointguardsss?" he stretched it out. "And even at one point, Mariah turned to get a small glimpse of me before turning back to whisper more... I'm telling you Kate, something's up" he mumbled, terror striking his gleaming blue eyes.

Kate swallowed and mustered a small nod. "Well.. I mean, who cares?" She then tried to begin. "I mean, they may not even have been 100% knownly talking about you" She tried to reassure, but Humphrey had his mind set. He didn't like it when Kate tried to cover up the truth that lay in front of them like the biggest footprint clue you could find.

"Don't you get it Kate, we-" Humphrey stopped dead in his sentence though as Lucy, Sarah and Savannah all piled into the bathroom suddenly, chatting like starlings. Lucy, her red toned colored fur and her weighty body stopped to stare a few moments a menacing look at the two like saying 'what are they doing here?' before continuing with her chat.

Kate and Humphrey only snorted and turned back to each other. (note: remember me and my sister are girls in real life. I know it's weird how Humphrey's in the girls bathroom, but we're both sisters in reality... *_*)

Humphrey then began, more quietly now. "Ugh, she thinks she owns it" he muttered under his breath. Kate only couldn't agree more. Lucy was apart of the 'Squad' or Cool Kids group. In other words, the Cool Kids were basically a bunch of athletic, basketball loving females who talked and acted hip... yet all in all they were very intimidating.

Kate was strongly intimidated by Peyton, while Humphrey's favorited and main intimidator was Imani. Now Imani was somewhat different from Peyton, even though the two were within the Squad together and were bffs of course. Peyton was the type to sit in class and totally judge you through and through without words, but with looks, and when she did speak, it was normally something sarcastic or a comeback. She's rarely ever amused either...

Imani was kinda the opposite. She is very outgoing and very loud. In fact, her and her main bff chick Makayla, were probably the loudest of all the Cool Kids.

Imani and Makayla would never shut up in class. Sure, the others wouldn't either but them two just seemed like the main ones to talk. Imani was also the main top one to be called 'teacher's pet' so to speak. All the teachers adored the Cool Kids, but especially her for some reason.

Kate and Humphrey later on, finally left the bathrooms, not wanting to stick around in case anything was ever brought up from this morning. The two walked side by side, tails slightly lower than usual.

Once they got back to their Lunch table, like always it was enjoyable. Rea, Syrita, Maria (Marr-ee-uh) and them would always laugh and rant on about things at the table, making it a time with no worries. Of course, others sat at the table, like Lia, Brianna, Riley, Madeline, and the dramatic Morgan but normally they would only speak to their side of the table.

Each table within Lunch was basically almost filled with each Rank. Course Kate and Humphrey's table was the Normal Kids table. The other tables assembled mainly of one Rank each for some weird reason, and then a few more yards away from the 8th grade tables were the 7th and 6th grade tables. The lunch room was huge, so it could hold up to 3 grades btw.

Still though, out of all the tables, the Cool Kid table always seemed the most... eye-catching.

hope you like it so far, do continue to chapter 5! Which is next of course :P
