WIth class ending Robbie left his seat as fast as he could. He hope he didn't have to talk to him for the rest of the day. Yet his plan failed, reaching the hallways, he noticed a pair of boots in the air. Robbie looked over to his side, seeing non other than Sportacus walking on his hands. He saw he did a flipped up and stood in front of Robbie. Robbie couldn't help, but wonder why on earth he stopped him. Sportacus smiled down at him, before speaking.

"Hey Robbie, mind if I join you?" Strange this has never happened to Robbie.

"Why would you want to hang around with a rotten like me?" he asked, not getting his mood upset. Sportacus just rubbed the back of his head, chuckling happily to himself.

"I don't think you're rotten, Robbie. I just thought I could spend some time with you." Spend some time with him, this has got to be a joke, probably from one of the popularly group thought it be funny. Well it's not.

"You shouldn't spend time with someone like me, Sportacus.." Robbie passed him, as he tried breathing in and out easing his nerves. Sportacus just watched as something flashed within his chest. His crystal, he never thought that it would react to what just happened. His family told him it was passed down from generations, saying that the crystal would beep if someone they cared about were in trouble. His mustache twitched a little, before walking the other direction. His mind went someone else.

'Never thought you would work again..'

The only time of the day that Robbie got to enjoy with little peace that he had was lunch time. Sitting outside underneath the old oak tree, he pulled out his lunch, it wasn't something healthy for him to eat, but he just never cared about all the good stuff in life. Opening a bag of potato chips, while drinking some chocolate milk, he began to wonder to himself. Sportacus started talking to him again, actually wanting to be with him. He knew better than that to follow on such things. Placing the milk down and picking up on his book, he began to write things down on his subject.

"Sportacus…" he muttered to himself. He couldn't get him out of his mind, he hated himself for liking such a man. Robbie sighed to himself, a breeze went by, he could smell the fresh air he needed. He heard footsteps coming his way, he clenched the book tightly, pretending to do some homework or some kind, hopefully whoever it was wouldn't bother him.

"Is this seat taken?" that voice he knew all too well. Looking up seeing his Sportacus, he gulped before nodding. Sportacus sat down besides him, Robbie quickly put the book away, while reaching for the remaining bag of his chips and began to eat them. Sportacus reached in his bag eating the apple, before drinking some water.

"So.."

"So what?"

"Why?"

"Why what?" this wasn't going to go anywhere from here. Robbie sigh to himself, before looking over at him.

"I said no one wants to hang around a 'rotten'. Everyone knows that." He spoke, Sportacus bit into his apple again, before looking over at the taller man before him. His eyes filled with fear, look like he hasn't slept in forever, his hair all gelled back, his eyes...his eyes on what caught him.

"Well I am not like one of those people Robbie. I want to be your friend, if you'll allow me?" Friend...friend that's all Robbie thought to himself. Sportacus just wants to be his friend, Robbie bit his lip, before looking away at him, while drinking the rest of his milk. Placing his trash in his bag, Robbie sigh to himself.

"Is this some kind of joke, did they put you up to this?" Sportacus defended himself.

"No, Robbie nobody did!" he gently grabbed his shoulders bringing him to a hug. Sportacus felt his crystal beating, luckily only he was able to hear it. Robbie froze in his tracks, yet inside of him, he broke down. Returning the hug was something he never really knew how. Comforting him the best that he can, Sportacus whispered in his ear,

"I do not lie, Robbie. Only if you let me help you." Help...help. He pulled away hearing the sounds of the bell telling everyone to go back inside. Sportacus smiled at the taller man, before helping him up.

"You said you wanted to be my friend...right?" Robbie asked as he nodded.

"Yes." smiling at him once again.

"Alright, we...we can be friends." with that Robbie saw Sportacus waving goodbye to him as he flips inside the building. Honestly, he wonders why he doesn't just run inside the building. Robbie couldn't help, but smile at himself. For once something good happened to him. Picking up his books and his trash, he headed inside the building throwing his trash out.
