The-AO-Squad: School Wars book #2/chapter5

Chapter 5

Fifth period passed over quickly, and yet during Kate's fifth period Bible class Julian, one of the biggest jocks, had turned and asked her about Basketball.

Kate wasn't too responsive.

Julian had jerked his large head around, eyes curious, voice deep. "So you play basketball?" He asked again, even though this morning at Spanish, Kate had pointed out very clearly that she had.

She have Syrita a small worried look but then have a nod.

At this, Julian nudged Stephen, the obnoxious loud-mouth next to him. "Hey bruh, Kate says she and her mate Humphrey ball!" He explained as if it were fake. Stephen laughed out loud for a moment before turning to confirm this.

"you serious?" He asked, tipping his head to one side.

Kate narrowed her eyes slightly. "Yeah. I'm positive." She stated flatly causing for Julian and Stephen to exchange looks.

Kate couldn't yet still figure out why it was such a big deal to them. Sure basketball was kinda fun and cool but.. She didn't take it to heart.

Julian then straightened in his seat more, eyes challenging. "Well are you on a travel team?" He asked next, ears erect, Stephen grinning on the side thinking they've got her.

Kate glances at the floor, then at Syrita. Was she on a travel team? When she and her mate were young they'd always gone on wreck teams... Hmm.. Well they played at different courts sometimes so.. Did that count?

She didn't know, and she didn't care. Yet again she felt that spark to prove herself, and so she shrugged with a nod. "Yeah"

The two males made 'o' shaped faces at each other before bending their heads together, whispering madly.

Syrita only gave Kate a look. And if Kate didn't know any better, she thought she spotted a hint of doubt in her friends gaze...

Humphrey had kept his head low in History as usual. Of course, there were a few mentions on upcoming tryouts from Mrs. Askins, causing for an uproar of those like Alasia and PJ.

Humphrey all the while hoped his name wouldn't be mentioned, and gradually it never was. Once the bell rang though, he knew all Cain was gonna break next period in his Bible Class.

thankfully 6th was the last 'working' period. Course they had Study Hall lastly but that really wasn't as important as 6th, for Humphrey had accumulated almost every Cool Kid in his Bible class except Jayla which was in Kate's 6th period Science.

He had his tail tucked now as he headed down the bustling halls towards the Bible's welcoming doorway. He disliked His 6th period class greatly. He was always so tensed just thinking about the possibilities that could happen within the class..

He especially hated being in front of Imani for some reason. She was the most popular wolf within the 8th grade and seeing her sometimes made his fur itch. He swallowed hard before stepping into class now, legs hurrying over to his seat which was he second seat, row 1.

Now Makayla, one of the cockiest of the Cool Kids normally chose to sit within Mr, Wagenshutz's big lounge desk chair. Humphrey hadn't ever discovered why the teacher let her do that, but mainly probably because the Squad were the teacher's favorite students.

"Alright settle down!" Mr. Wagenshutz hushed once everyone had arrived in class, and the bell had rung.

Makayla threw her paws up in the air suddenly though to this, eyes sparking with mischievousness. "Hey teach, could we go outside? Or down the the gym?" She asked sarcastically and yet also hopefully.

Alasia beamed and agreed with this. "Ehhhy! Yeah bruh!"

Mr. Wagenshutz only gave them a look. "What do you think?... Huh?" He narrowed his eyes dramatically.

"Ooh so it's a yes?!" Makayla asked happily with sarcasm. This caused an uproar of laughter from the others like Lucy, Peyton, and of course Imani. "Yass we should totally do that today!" Imani nodded now, her higher tone turning upon Mr, Wagenshutz now.

Humphrey only flattened his ears slightly at the idea. Of course Mr. Wagenshutz would never stoop to their level.. But if he ever did... He's never want to play anything athletic in front of the Squad. They'd be like watching hawks on your every flaw, seeming they were good at almost anything sports wise.

Mr. Wagenshutz finally had enough with this and have a growl. "For the last time. No. Stop. We're here to learn, not to play!" He corrected them getting a few giggles from some of the lower classes females around the room. This made Alasia groan. "Man, why is someone always screwing up our fun bruh?" Alasia murmured to Makayla within the back.

all the while Humphrey was letting out a sigh of relief. He'd never be able to pick up a basketball, much less pick up and do anything in front of the Cool Kids. He and Kate were already stuck in this new rumor going around, they couldn't afford to make it a mess.

But by force they'd have no choice... Especially if he or Kate ever got a Cool Kid within P.E.

He shuddered just thinking of it. But by force would hardly happen... The only true way that they'd ever kill their secret was to make a move for themselves... Which hopefully would never happen.

next is chapter 6! ^^
