And this is where the others met Seth...

Chapter 2: Meeting Seth

At lunch, Cody, Mike, Jojo, Chad and Marcus were at lunch together along with Caitlyn and Misty and started talking. Caitlyn was surprised to hear Jojo about his first time at Camp Harmony and said, "How'd you stand up to that girl?"

"It was tough, but I didn't want her to say those things about Marcus. It wasn't right of her to do that anyway." Jojo said.

"Yeah, he told her off...in more ways than one." Marcus said.

"Wow. Took a lot of guts to do something like that."

"If I was there, I would've started a girlfight with her." Misty said.

"Yeah, don't go there. It'll be stopped before it already started."

"So, how are you guys liking Whoville?" asked Caitlyn.

"It's not bad. It's pretty cool, actually." Chad said.

"Same here." Marcus said.

"If I stood up to that drama queen princess that called Jojo an 'emo', I would've caused some permanent damage to her face." Mike said.

"Ha! If you had done that, she'd kick your butt back." Misty said.

"What are you saying? Girls are more tougher than boys?"

"Finally! You finally admit it!"

"Why don't you just shop?"

"Why don't you just play sports?"

"Are they always like that?" asked Marcus.

"Nah, usually they're just arguing." Cody said.

Suddenly, in comes Seth sitting at a table, alone and Cody sees him sitting there. All of a sudden, to his surprise, a few school bullies come to Seth and shove his face down with banana cream pie and then, punched him in the face. Cody gasped in shock and got up from the seat and stood up to them.

"Hey! That's my old friend you're tormenting!" Cody exclaimed.

"Dude, who cares?"

"I do! Now, since I'm in a good mood today, I'm gonna ask you to get out of here and leave my friend alone, otherwise I might tell Lani Amberwitz that I got a picture of you and that girl, Chelsea Stewart, holding hands at the movies."

The bully gasped and said, "You wouldn't."

"I can text it to her."

A sense of fear came to his head and he lets go of Seth and said, "Consider yourself lucky."

They walked off and Cody went in and helped him up. He asked, "You okay, Seth?"

"Yeah, but how'd you know my name?" asked Seth.

"It's me, Cody McKinney. Remember me, from a few years ago. You were friends with my brothers, Mike and Alex."

Then, Seth recognizes Cody's face and asked, "Codes?"

"Yeah, that's me."

Seth chuckled and gave him a hug and asked, "How long has it been?"

"Three years."

"That's a long time. I didn't know you moved back to Whoville."

"Well, my dad got remarried just two months ago to my stepmom and he decided that now's the time to move back to Whoville."

"That's awesome. You wanna sit with us?"

"Nah, I'm fine."

"Dude, come on. It'll be awesome."

"You sure?"

"Trust me."

"Okay."

Cody walked Seth back to the table and sat next to Mike. Mike turns around and gasped in surprise and asked, "Seth, is that you?"

"That's me."

"Hey, how are you, man?" asked Mike.

"Doing good, I think. You?"

"Doing awesome!"

"Seth, these are my friends, Jojo McDodd, Marcus Swift, Chad Stoner, Misty Kirkpatrick and Caitlyn Fanning. Guys, this is my old friend, Seth Zuckerman."

"Hi." he said, shyly.

"Hey, Seth."

"So, you're new here?" asked Misty.

"Yep."

"So are we." Marcus and Chad said.

"How'd you guys meet?"

"We've been Jojo's friend since our brother Alex died last year, Misty and Caitlyn, we met last year and Chad and Marcus-we met at Camp Harmony this summer." Mike said.

"Amazing."

"I know, right?"

"We've been friends ever since." said Mike.

"I think I might like it here." Seth said.

There's a younger brother of Seth's coming up, so stay where you are!
