[Lukas'POV]

"Hey! How was work?" He practically bounced off the couch near the supermarket I worked in. He had been waiting there since after school since he still had his school bag. I was 30 minutes late thanks to an asshole that was late to their shift.

"Fine. Let's go." I rubbed my eyes. I was tired and stressed. I couldn't stay too long. An hour should be fine. It was a 15 minute ride from here to my house so it shouldn't have been anything to worry about.

"Alright, don't you wanna have something to eat first?" He looked at me a bit worried. I just shook my head. An ice cream would have been kinda nice, but I didn't have time for that.

"Okay~ let's go!" He linked arms with me and bounced about to the arcade. Where was his reserve of energy? Did he have a coffee or something whilst he was waiting?

We got to the arcade. It wasn't buzzing with a mixture of people like I'd thought. It sort of blurred out as Mathias began to drag us to the coin machine to get our notes turned into coins. Ah right, I forgot about that. I opened up my wallet and found a 20. That was fine, right?

Anyway, so we got the damned coins and went onto the machines. We played on all the machines we could. I was actually surprising myself. I was actually having fun winning whack-a-mole, and it was also surprising to see that the nerd actually had decent reflexes. Our last ones were DDR and some shooting zombie game. We ended up with bags of tickets from the machines. Regardless, it was the most fun I'd had in years.

"Come on, it's Dance Dance Revolution! It'll give us a month's worth of exercise in like 3 minutes." Mathias was practically begging for me to join him. I sighed and checked my wallet. I had enough for this one but for nothing else.

"Nope, I'm saving it for the zombie one." I closed my wallet. I glanced up and saw his face. It was like I had just kicked a puppy into a puddle and he was five.

"I'll pay for you," he said, pouting.

I shook my head. I didn't want him to pay for me. If I was going to play I was going to pay for myself. He continued to pout, which made me want to laugh at his face. He suddenly dropped a coin on the floor.

"Oh look. A coin! On the floor. How convenient!" He picked it up and put it in the machine.

"See Lukas? Stranger's coin. Not mine. The floor touched it. It's the floor's. Poor floor." He ranted on picking the song for us. I rolled my eyes. Seriously? That didn't even count! Either way, I put my bag down with my wallet.

"Hey, Lukas." I looked up and saw him grinning at me. I glanced at the screen to see the song he had picked. It was fucking Barbie Girl. I had to try my best not to glare at him. He was laughing.

"...No." I did try. He was still laughing and tried to change it but he stepped on his shoe lace. Great. Where was the best place to hide a body?

"Oh god. Uhhhh well, we play on expert?" I just sighed. I had never seen so much pink and sparkles in my life until we played this damn round.

At first, I didn't want to win. But then, as we started playing I saw just how badly we both sucked. I had never played this thing, so it took me the first round to get the hang of it. The nerd didn't even tell me the rules.

The second round, I was winning until we got to the chorus. The chorus was sped up and Mathias seemed to have known. He was laughing at my confused face for the entire round. The only thing stopping me from pushing him off the stage was the damage to my own points. He managed to make me competitive. Give him an award.

By the third round, we were both sweating and in serious need of a drink. We ended up both losing the round. Thank the Lord. I never wanted to see the color pink again.

"Oh! Wait for me at the zombie game. I'll be right back!" I was about to stop him, but he ran off. I had never face palmed so much. I didn't even know where this patience was coming from.

So, I was standing there with our bags and stacks of tickets we had won. There, for once, I didn't feel so stressed. In fact, I felt comfortable and mildly exhausted. It was like my body had let go of all the troubles.

"I'm back!" Mathias appeared out of nowhere again. He quickly handed me a cold drink. Glancing down at it, I realised that is was a milkshake.

"There wasn't any thing else and I wanted a drink, so..." he tried to explain himself. I simply sighed and accepted the drink. It would be pointless trying to argue with this dork. He grinned at me like a kid on Christmas morning. Seriously, you could see the frickin' glint in his eyes, damn it.

"This is the last one, huh?" I said turning to the machine I was leaning on.

"Yep! This one is the best."

I picked up the gun. I wanted to say that I was a bit of a fan of shooter games. I hadn't played in a while but I was hoping it would somewhat help. I had to beat this nerd in at least one game. We put the coins in and the game started. He instantly got shooting at the zombies.

The characters were visible so we could shoot at each other if we wanted. I smirked. Mathias was too busy shooting at the zombies to notice me taking cover and climbing up to the roof of the shelter we were in. I began shooting from there. Having a better spot to snipe them down.

"Where are you?" He asked, getting frustrated as I took his kills.

"Nowhere important." I smirked as my little mischief was making him act out of character. Mathias walked out into the plain field and started shooting and running at the zombies. I snorted at his recklessness. He took a competitive stance and held the gun like he was really going for it. Our scores were tied at the moment.

"What's wrong, nerd?" I asked with amusement. He pouted when my kill score was higher than his.

"You've played this before, huh?" he asked as his character shot a zombie in the head.

"Nope. I don't come to the arcade. Last time I did, I was 13." I smirked as he was struggling with an OP zombie.

"How are you good at this then?" He practically yelled as his character seemed to be dying. "No no no no no- damn it!

I covered him and shot the last few health points that the zombie had. Of course, that meant that it counted as if I killed it. It gave my overall score a massive boost. Mathias groaned in annoyance. I had to hold back the little laughing fits that were about to happen. Getting Mathias irritated and annoyed might be one of the best things in life.

"The next wave is about to start, genius." I smirked as I was getting ready and reloading. He glanced at me and grinned a bit.

"You're on," he said as he pushed his glasses up and bit his lower lip. The look screamed confidence that he would win. There was a competitive tension between us.

Mathias spent the next 2 minutes trying to find me on the map as I kept moving and killing. We were trying to get kill combos. He was up to 120 and I was 119. It was so close. Honestly, I wanted to trip him over or something.

"Hahahha. I'm winning now." He fist pumped. It then occurred to me that I could probably shoot him. I smirked and made my character move as fast as possible from our current spot. It wasn't too hard to find the dork. I swapped guns and shot a zombie behind him, then fired a second shot at his character. He gasped and turned to me.

Killing him made me the winner and Mathias was standing there with his jaw hanging. I put the gun down and turned to him. He looked a mixture of betrayed and amused. It was a different expression on his face, but it was definitely one of the funniest ones.

[Mathias' POV]

"That's not fair!" I whined.

"It was never said that I couldn't." Lukas was leaning on the machine again. I groaned, ready to pull my hair out. His eyes were full of amusement. "Never knew you would be a sore loser."

"I am not! That move was low. Come on, I was on a perfect killing streak, too," I whined.

Rolling his eyes at me, he had a growing smirk. Suddenly, his eyes shifted past me and his smirk dropped. He became as rigid as usual. I noticed and glanced back. Terry and Daniel were there, walking toward us. They looked smug. I understood why he had gone back to his usual self. I began to worry. Did this mean they were looking for trouble again? It wasn't school grounds so they couldn't get into as much trouble. I glanced at Lukas with a concerned face.

"Sorry to crash your date." Daniel smirked. It wasn't a date but… oh how I wish it was. I could feel my cheeks get warmer.

"Wow, Lukas. You got yourself a girlfriend. Oh, wait. You're the girl in the relationship, aren't you?" Terry started. I was starting to hate the tone of voice with these guys. I had been bullied by them before, but it was a while ago. It had died down as soon as they found out that I had money. I was getting uncomfortable with their homophobic attitude and commentary.

"We have a message from Kevin," Terry added. I could tell Lukas was instantly pushed past his patience point as Kevin's name was mentioned.

"Why doesn't Kevin come and deliver his message in person?" I questioned, frowning.

"Lukas growled. "He is a fucking asshole."

"Shut the fuck up. You broke his nose," Terry bit back.

"Good, might have fixed his face a bit." Lukas spoke with a venous tone, an icy glare and scary smile.

"He's in the hospital, nerd. Don't get involved. You might end up there yourself," Daniel threatened. I didn't doubt they might but I wasn't going back off.

"If you don't want to end up in the hospital, get out of here." Lukas was only getting angrier by the minute.

"He says to expect a bigger hit. He won't stop until you give in and you're hurt like him." Daniel continued. Lukas stood up from leaning on the game we were playing on before. His fingers were twitching a bit, I noticed. Kevin wanted revenge for their fight? It didn't make too much sense. If Kevin was going to get pay back then it meant that he and Lukas must have deeper issues with each other. What exactly was their issue, apart from what I knew? "He said to watch your back. And to remind Emil that he will be back at school next week."

"He can't do that during school hours or after school. It's part of the school policy." I glanced at Lukas and then at the two of them. Everyone looked at me like I was insane.

"Anyone caught harassing in any way or form will be taken directly to the principal's office and the school will arrange a suitable punishment right away, whether it be a student or staff member. If actions are repeated and caught again, then he or she will be expelled without exception," I repeated the school rule. It helped having Arthur repeat this to us all.

"The fuck are you, a lawyer or something?" Terry seemed to be getting aggravated. Daniel seemed to be thinking. "The hell is harassing? Speak English."

I didn't expect anything different from him. It was just like him to answer like that. Lukas rolled his eyes and sighed in heavy annoyance.

"Whatever. Look, nerd, you're pushing it. Don't make us repeat the past with you. Back off." He smirked. I could feel Lukas' stare on me. I went a bit pale but I stood my ground. I had to think of a way to get them out of here. Lukas seemed to be thinking too.

"I'm already involved," I replied. Terry grinned with malice radiating off him. I knew what was coming once I had said this. Lukas snapped out of his thoughts.

"He isn't." He glared at me and then at them. He placed himself between Terry and Daniel and I. Terry began laughing. Daniel smirked.

"Isn't that disgustingly adorable? But you don't know a lot of things about each other huh?" Daniel spoke up.

"Precisely why he isn't involved. Leave him out of it. This is between You three and I stop making it someone else's." Lukas snapped at them. So it's with all three of them. It must be serious.

"You know, he's gonna hurt and your sister again, and now your girlfriend," Terry pushed on, ignoring what Lukas had said. I was starting to get ticked off. It wasn't common to see me angry. I normally didn't have anything to get angry about. Lukas snapped and grabbed Terry by the collar. I grabbed his other arm.

"Touch them and I will murder all of you."
