"You're kidding! Save the city and still get detention?" Cora asked. Astro nodded. It was recess and they were walking around the yard. "At lunch. Thanks to Zoran."
"Hey! I helped defeat Black for you!"
"The only good thing you've done for me in two days!" Astro said smugly, bending down to Zoran's face.
"One and A HALF!" she snapped back. Astro just smiled. Zoran crossed her arms and huffed. "I want arm cannons!" she changed the subject. They laughed.
"ASTRO!" Bruss and his gang with the Blondies approached.
"Oh no…" Zane groaned. Astro looked up at them.
"What do you want now?" Astro asked. He decided if they were going to bully him any more, he might as well get it over and done with.
"That was a pretty sweet battle with Black back there." Bruss complemented.
"Yeah, well I…wait what?" Bruss was complementing him? His gang laughed. Some of the girls from his gang circled around Astro, cutting Zane, Cora, Widget, Conner, Ember and Zoran out. "You heard me. You all right, Astro."
"You didn't seem to think that when you filled my locker with slime city." Astro replied. They laughed more.
"That was a joke, man. We were just messing with you." Said the boy with long black hair.
"Sure…" Astro said uncertainly.
"We were hoping that you'd hang out with us." Bruss asked.
"Sorry, I'm already hanging out with my friends." Astro told them.
"We are your friends." A girl with long blonde hair said.
"Yeah, but-" they pushed him along with them.
"So tell us about those rocket boots." Another blonde girl said sweetly. "Care to give me a ride?"
"Well, I haven't really given people rides. I'm afraid I might drop you." The girl laughed.
"You're so funny, Astro!" Cora and the others watched as they walked off with Astro. Ember sighed.
"Well, there goes the brain washing team along with another victim." She said.
"Yep." Conner nodded.
"Excuse me?" Cora said.
"Well, they're the most popular people in school. They will probably brain wash Astro until he's one of them." Said Ember.
"THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT TO MY BROTHER!" Zoran declared.
"Zoran, it's not up to you. If Astro wants to hang out with them, then fine." Said Zane. They looked over as Astro was picking up one of the Blondes like a princess and hovering above the ground with his rocket boots. The girl laughed and wrapped her arms tightly around Astro's neck. Cora frowned. "Yeah. Fine." She walked off, not looking back.
"One hundred lines. "I shall be nice to other students." Mrs. Harris ordered. Astro looked down at the touch screen desk and picked up the pen and started writing. Mrs. Harris walked back and fourth behind him, watching intensely. Suddenly he jolted his hand to the back of his neck. He groaned. Mrs. Harris looked over. "What's wrong? Why have you stopped?"
"That dis-power machine you used. The pain hasn't gone away." Mrs. Harris pulled it out of her handbag and twirled it around like it was her most precious trophy. "Elefun said you shouldn't have used it. There's still a small chipped place where it hit me."
"Oh, what does that Dr. Elefun know?" Harris replied rudely. She looked down on him. "Well? Get on with it!"
