"You're the friend of the four-eyed, right?" Cole sat bored in his seat in the classroom, suddenly hearing a whisper behind his ear

he looked out of the corner of his eyes at the guy behind him, not that the same one jay argued with

"what do you want?" he said dryly, but carefully so as not to be heard by the professor, annoyed by that guy

"You look like a cool guy, you know? why do you waste yourself in that group of nerds? you could join in ours" Carlos said, obviously not knowing that he had called 'nerds' the people who saved his butt countless times

"You should lower your confidence, you know?" Cole replied, going back to doing absolutely nothing, listening from time to time to the clips of the lesson

it was time for geography, and Cole didn't go crazy about it, but a pinch of interest in his land and more he would always have it. he didodle on himself, playing his role as the black ninja, flexing his muscles properly. a little distraction to keep the hour going without fainting from sleep on the bench

he took a look at the board, feeling his Ninja senses wake up. however, he continued to pretend nothing, continuing to feel the next move, and just at that moment, a small piece of paper flew over his bench, spreading it, but at the same time, intriguing him about what was there

he arranged the small piece of paper in its original state, immediately eyeing a small drawing and an inscription

lloyd told me to warn you that after the end of this hour we will have to join the others ☺︎︎

after finishing reading, he turned to where the note had arrived, identifying the different and younger figure of Jay who gave him a small uncomfortable smile

he simply hinted at a nod with his head, making it see only to hin

and the lesson went on like this, always feeling like eyes on him. always by that boy who thought he was cool to be considered a bully, or by his small group of blatantly false friends, or at least that's what Cole believed after the previous scene in the hallway of the school

the bell was rung once the lesson that no one had committed to listening to was over. Cole took his things and was walking with the Jay of this dimension, but a pat on the back stopped him first

"keep in mind the talk from before, and in case you know where to find me" Carlos said brazenly, and then went out with a girl under his arm

Cole watched him with a frown of annoyance come out. he had no idea where to find him, but he probably could have the clue that he would be treating some other helpless student badly

"what did he mean?" M!Jay asked, confused by that sentence

"nothing, he didn't mean nothing.." Cole told him, sighing away the annoyance "how about going to the others?"

and so they left the classroom, arriving in the canteen, where their friends were waiting for them there

"you finally made it!" Kai said, making room in the table

"yeah, the bell rang a few seconds after the end of the time" Cole said hiding the inconvenience called Carlos

"it's actually because Carlos had stopped u-us" but M!Jay revealed, causing Cole's arms to be thrown into the air

"I didn't say it on purpose!" Cole said, turning to him in disapproval, and M!Jay in realization covered his mouth with his hand, raised eyebrows

"Carlos? what did he tell you?" Jay asked. immediately his face took on an expression of suspicion
