"L-l-l-ong time no see Caleb. How have y-y-you been?", Elliott questioned slightly startled by the sudden appearance of Caleb.

Renee took a glance at her friend only to see him slightly shaking.

"Oh, I have been good friend. No thanks to you and that bitch.", Caleb spat out and made a scowl. His almost yellow like eyes were glaring holes into Elliott's head.

Elliott being the dumbass he is tried to taunt him, "Your welcome. Believe me the pleasure is all mine. By the way how is your dad doing?"

Elliott waited for a reaction but didn't get one. The boy named Caleb flashed a wicked smile and cackled. He kept laughing and laughing to a point where he started to turn blue from not taking a breath.

"You want to know how dads doing. Oh, I can show how he feels if you want.", Caleb threatened and grabbed Elliott by the collar and pinned him against the wall.

Renee took no time to make her way between the two and flipped Caleb onto his ass with a simple leg sweep and a Judo throw.

Caleb then got up to see the only glare that could compare to his own coming from the small girl.

Caleb got up and chuckled to himself and went towards the door of nurse's office.

"To bad Witt. It looks like we can't have fun just yet. But your guard dog won't always be there to protect you.", Caleb commented and laughed down the hallway.

The tension in that room soon started to lower. And Elliott took a deep breath to calm down. But luckily for him Renee was about to bring the tension back up by smacking the boy straight in the face.

"Ow- what was that for Ren? First my most prized possession and now this?", Elliott asked flabbergasted and rubbed his cheek.

Renee took a second to process the fact that he gave her a nickname and was quite honestly ecstatic about it. Her thought process went to a screeching holt till she remembered why she smacked him in the first place.

"Listen what you did back there was nothing more than fucking stupid. What do you think would happen to you if I was not there? He would have pummeled you.", Renee lectured while not dropping her usual stoic expression.

"Oh, c'mon Renee I could have handle myself. Why did you think I was bulking up anyways? It wasn't just for the ladies. That is what my face is for.", Elliott reassured and flashed her a cheesy smile.

"Eli listen… I am just worried about you. You will have your shit rocked by Caleb. That man just lifted you by the collar with one hand.", Renee continued on her little rant only to be interrupted by a hug from Elliott.

"I really do appreciate the concern, Renee. But trust me I can handle myself. Even if I can't I am glad to have a beautiful guardian angel out there to protect me.", Elliott countered nonchalantly and didn't realize what he had just said.

Renee however was relishing every comment about her. Though she was still a bit peeved for him blowing her off.

"Whatever you say Witt. Just be careful that boy is a bomb waiting to go off.", Renee commented as exited the hug and went towards the nurse's door after hearing the lunch bell go off.

"Believe nobody other than me knows that the most.", Elliott agreed and reconciled over the time when Caleb was his only friend. He followed Renee to the cafeteria to find their fiends waiting for them and had saved them a seat for them.

Renee took a seat next to Nat and Elliott being the man took the sacrifice and sat by captain stinky also known as Alexander.

"How is your mini me doing bruddah?", Gibby jokingly asked and laughed heavily making Elliott and Octane join him.

"Oh, it is doing great. The package is fine, and the family jewels are still intact for now. Hopefully next dodge ball day goes different. Wait Makoa how did you find out about that? You weren't in that class today.", Elliot went off on a rant.

"Oh, that would be because of me mate. And let me tell you your face was priceless.", Ramya teased and showed the video of his demise.

"Oh, how could you? Oh, the pain is seething.", Elliott said dramatically as he sunk into his seat.

"And I posted on my MySpace and Twitter. Thanks for the likes.", Tae commented smugly.

"What the hell Tae... how many views did it get?", Elliott asked rather curious like.

"It's got around ten thousand and counting. Also, apparently the main model for young mommas of the outlands sends her apologies.", Tae informed him and made Anita chuckle.

"See I told you the ladies love me.", Elliott sated proudly only to be shot down by Ramya.

"If they only heard the voice behind the face.", Ramya joked and made Gibby laugh.

Elliott was about retort till he remembered that he had to inform the squad of something.

"Oh, by the way Caleb is at school by the way.", Elliot announced making everyone groan.

Anita took a glance at her girlfriend and saw the fear in her eyes. She wasn't the one for emotions, but she did hold her hand, however.

Loba mouthed thanks beautiful and made Anita smile.

"Thanks for letting me know.", Alexander mumbled out and coughed and smacked Elliott on the back.

"Who is Caleb?", Obi, Mary, and Kairi asked simultaneously.

"An asshole.", Loba spoke venomously and looked down at the table.

"I always forget that you guys just transferred here from Olympus tech year right after Caleb got thrown into the slammer.", Elliot stated.

"He is a bully, but he is a warrior.", Blood corrected only to leave more questions than answers.

"What Houndy means is that Caleb is the guy that put Loba in the hospital for two weeks.", Walter clarified and ate his lunch.

The table fell in silence for a little bit until Pathy asked if anyone was entering the science fair.

"Yes, I wanted to show off my experiments.", Alexander answered after taking a swig of his black coffee.

"I am going to make sure he doesn't melt a table again.", Tae commented snidely and made Natalie chuckle.

"On be silent Tae. I told mother to be careful with my equipment and she spilt it on the table.", Alexander retorted while rubbing his neck beard.

"I don't see why you would need anything that could melt a table to be quite fair.", Walter teased making Blood shake their head in disapproval.

"Would you like to try the acid Fitzroy?", Alexander questioned in a flat tone.

"Nah I am good mate knock yourself out.", Walter was not looking for the opportunity to have his face melted off.

"Oi cunt. Are you going to the arena games later this weekend?", Mirage asked in a scuffed Aussie accent.

"I sure bloody am. In fact, I am participating in it. Are you going to watch it?", The Australian chick magnet answered and questioned.

"Yeah but, on that note do you think you can get me into the games?", Elliott requested making Walter spit out his water.

"You in a arenas match. You wouldn't stand a chance. You can barely handle yourself in high school without Renee watching your back.", Walter jested making Elliott fluster up.

"Hey, I can do just fine on my own. Thank you very much. I was the one who always went to help out Loba whenever Caleb was hitting her meanwhile you would pussy out.", Elliott retorted with a slight bit of anger behind his voice.

Most of the table and Blood as well were now laughing at the embarrassed bomber man.

"Alright I will admit you got me. I will see what I can do.", Walter admitted and rubbed the back of his head.

"Yes.", Elliott fist pumped the air and saw Renee roll her eyes.

"So anyways what do you got going on this evening amigo?", Octavio asked Elliot while taking out a monster energy.

"Oh, I am going with Nat and Ren to a clothing store to get Renee more than the same two shirts she always wears.", Elliott dissed Renee who just rolled her eyes.

"I have enough shirts, Elliott.", Renee corrected only to have Elliott gasp in exaggeration.

"No, you don't. You only wear grey and black. It is a problem when captain Williams over here has more of fashion sense than you do.", Elliott commented and made Anita snort and Loba giggle.

"I will have to agree with Eli. You don't have any fashion sense.", Natalie said and got a look of feigned betrayal.

"Whatever you guys say.", Renee replied somewhat defeated like.

"Oh, c'mon it will be fun plus l will buy us dinner. I finally got that promotion at work.", Elliott reassured making Renee have a small smile.

"I might join. I haven't been to the mall in a while.", Loba told them and made Anita raise an eyebrow.

"Didn't you just go last week?", Anita asked her girlfriend in disbelief.

"Yeah but, I wanted to go again.", Loba shrugged and made Anita sigh.

"Fine I will come as well.", Anita mumbled.

"Hey Tae, you should come as well. That Jacket of yours is getting kind of old.", Natalie suggested.

Before Tae could answer Elliott took the chance to tease him, "That ain't the only thing growing old about him."

"Witt I am only a month and a half older than you. And sure, I will go Nat.", Tae answered and smacked Elliott on the shoulder.

"How about you Silva are ya going?", Ajay asked her friend.

"Sure. I might as well since Witt won't be on the Xbox eight tonight.", Octavio concluded.

"Isn't that the one hundred and twelfth console of its brand?", Mary asked.

"Microsoft named their third Xbox the Xbox one so at this point I just don't ask.", Ramya told her while opening up her own lunch.

"Damn Elliott you got pizza. I just have a gas station burrito.", Octavio muttered jealously.

"Yeah, but it is cold, so it isn't that good either. Had I been up I would have made myself a pork chop sandwich.", Elliott explained and started eating his food and noticed Renee didn't have anything.

"You didn't make yourself something? Here take this. Mom would make me sleep on the front porch if you didn't eat something.", Elliott told Renee who at first declined until her stomach grumbled.

Elliott gave her a protein bar and a bag of chips.

"Thanks Eli.", Renee stated as she took a bit out of her bar.

"No problemo.", Elliott responded as he went back to his pizza.

"Hey, can I bring Mia with me? She hasn't barely been out of the house recently.", Tae asked the group while looking out the corner of his eye seeing his "sister" sitting with the Big sister gang.

"I think that would be a good thing. It would make mom happy.", Alexander agreed.

"I knew Alex had a heart. It just took some time to come out.", Natalie added and hugged him. Alexander then shrugged out of it.

"Hey Tavi, are you going to the soccer club again?", Walter asked as he was downing the rest of his water.

"Oh, hell yeah! Witt is going to be on the team this year too. He is going be our goalie since he can't run.", Octavio bolstered and jump out of his seat.

"H-h-hey I am barely slower than you. But yes, I will be goalie again.", Elliott defended and sat back up.

"I am going to be joining as well.", Ramya chimed out.

She will try to get closer with Witt there. You gotta join as well.

"So will I.", Renee claimed and made Octavio have a surprised expression on his face.

"You play soccer I never thought I would see the day but here we are. But this is great we can put Ramya on defense and you on offense. We would need just one more. Eh I am sure that someone will turn up.", Octavio explained and left Renee shrugging.

*bring*

*lunch ended*

"Well Nat let's go to your dad's class now.", Elliott commented while grabbing her hand and running down the hallway.

"That girl is so lucky she is so nice, or she would be having it right now.", Renee and Ramya thought simultaneously.
