I know I was gone for a while but I needed to deal with my mental and physical health, I'm better now and you can expect at least one more chapter in the future.

[timeskip to Fri.]

Koi: Mari get up we have to go get Hawk from the airport.

Mari: noooooooo…

Koi: do I seriously have to dump water on you?

Mari: fiiiiine.

[another timeskip]

Koi: there he is! *runs*

Hawk: hey Teagan!

Koi: I missed you!

Hawk: is that…..

Koi: yes, it is Mari.

Hawk: oh. my. god.

Mari: it's nice to meet you, I'm Teagan's girlfriend.

Hawk: it's nice to meet you too.

Koi: alright, where's the lambo you had shipped here like always?

Hawk: I didn't do that this time.

Koi: you didn't?

Hawk: nope.

Koi: well let's go to the truck!

[le temps passe]

Koi: hey guys! Welcome back to Maricraft! Today we have my big brother, best first baseman in the MLB, Hawk!

Hawk: hey!

Lasercorn: so Koi tells us that you're good with redstone and explosives?

Hawk: yep. I've been a pro since 2012!

Koi: he's not joking, the first thing he built with redstone was a makeshift elevator.

Wes: how do you do that?

Hawk: with tons of pistons, redstone, and about five hours of spare time not including mistakes and re- do's.

Flitz: damn, how old were you?

Koi: I was seven so Hawk was ten.

Lasercorn: wow, you're really experienced with this kind of stuff.

Hawk: yeah, gaming is the only thing I do better than baseball.

Wes: I thought it would be like math or english.

Hawk: it wouldn't be that even if I could actually focus on whatever the teacher was saying.

Flitz: don't you mean if you ever focused?

Hawk: nope, I have ADHD so I could never pay attention long enough to learn anything most of my work was copied from friends or a lucky guess.

Wes: wow, how did you survive high school?

Hawk: a set of wireless earbuds and a fully charged phone with Pandora Radio.

Lasercorn: wouldn't that distract you?

Hawk: it actually helped a lot more than you would think.

(they played Maricraft and recorded game bang with Hawk, then everyone went to dinner)

Lasercorn: Koi, how long have you known?

Koi: about what?

Lasercorn: about being gay.

Koi: since second grade. I had a crush on this girl because she used to scare the mean kids away when they started to mess with me.

Wes: why were kids mean to you?

Koi: a lot of reasons. I got bullied for being too skinny, for dressing in boy's clothes, stuff like that. At one point people were making fun of my shark teeth.

Fliz: why would they make fun of a shark tooth necklace?

Koi: not a necklace, my actual teeth. I had this nickname that an 8th grader gave to me in 6th grade, I loved it but it kind of gained a new meaning after losing my first few molars.

Lasercorn: what was your nickname?

Koi: Sharktooth. I got it because I was so sassy and because my roasts "hurt like shark teeth". If I had an opportunity for a roast or a read I would go for it.

Lasercorn: oh really? Roast me.

Koi: Gerard Way? Nope, just another dude with crazy hair and a dead career. Speaking of hair usually guys try to draw attention away from their receding hairline not draw attention to it.

Wes: OHHHHHHHH

Flitz: those 8th graders weren't wrong.

Hawk: neither were the sixth graders.

Wes: them too?

Hawk: yep, she had all of them behind her after she roasted the school's former roast master.

Flitz: how?

Koi: we scheduled a roast off under the dome ,aka the center of the school, I made five roasts on him before he was done making one on me, then I ended with "I don't know why people waste their breath telling you not to make a mess when you are a walking mess." in sixth grade that apparently hurts.

Wes: so you destroyed him in a student organized event in the middle of the school?

Koi: yep. We had my friend MJ directing people to move to whoever they wanted to win the battle, and by the end I had the majority.

Flitz:did the staff know about this?

Koi: no, we had the kids tell MJ if there were teachers coming.

Lasercorn: that sounds awesome!

Koi: it was.

Flitz: you don't sound very proud of it.

Koi: it was cool but the kid I roasted started to get angry more often, and after a while of this one kid messing with him he broke part of his spine and now that kid's paralyzed.

Wes: shit. That's intense.

Flitz: that wasn't your fault though.

Koi: I still feel like it is, after he lost kids started to make fun of him because he got beat by a girl. But I couldn't lose! I've already gone through so much shit if that happened I would have died a long time ago, I wouldn't have been able to help Hawk and Taryn, get into MSA and get a scholarship to my dream college, or meet the love of my life.

Hawk: you were suicidal and didn't tell me?

Koi: I wanted you to focus on baseball, I didn't want you to worry.

Wes: you were suicidal? You seem pretty happy all the time.

Koi: it's a mask called a blank face smile, a smile so insincere it seems real.

Lasercorn: you mean you're not happy?

Koi: not all of the time, I get really depressed sometimes. It was really bad back then especially after Em.

Wes: Em?

Koi: she meant everything to me, she wasn't my girlfriend, but she was my big me. She was just like me personality wise. She knew so many people you could meet everyone in her town and every person would say they've talked to her before. She died in 2016 in a car crash, she wasn't wearing a seatbelt and she flipped her car and went through the open sunroof. I cried about it for at least 4 hours, then when I ran out of tears all I did was sleep.

Flitz: that's terrible, I'm sorry Koi.

Koi: it's okay, I'll be okay.

Wes: you sure? You don't seem okay.

Koi: I'm fine really, let's just go to the arcade so I can beat my big brother at mortal kombat.

Hawk: you won't beat me.

Koi: yes I will you know why?

Hawk: why?

Koi: I call Scorpion.

Hawk: fine by me I call sub zero.

Lasercorn: I'm already on his team.

Mari: Flitz, if I beat you, you stop letting Boze eat my food.

Flitz: deal. I'm predator.

Mari: Kitana.
