"Oh great, There's Lukas and the Ocelots. The rivalry continues." said Axel. "Man, they've got matching leather jackets and everything." "So cool..." I wasn't making eye contact with anyone, I just kept my head down. I didn't like the Ocelots, they're all jerks, especially Aiden. That was until he spoke. "Well well well, if it isn't the Order of the Losers." Aiden said. Maya and Gill spoke next, one after the other, "Great, the fail squad's here." "Lukas, get a load of these losers!" Lukas hadn't noticed us here, until Aiden started running his annoying mouth. When Lukas looked at us, we ended up making eye contact, and I looked at him with a calm expression. I hate Aiden and the rest of the Ocelots, but Lukas was okay. Yes he hangs out with them and is the 'leader' of their clique, but he didn't engage in the name-calling, bullying portion of it. Lukas turned away with his head, and started walking away. "Let's go guys." He said. We continued to walk up to a nice-looking lady at a desk, and stopped once we got to the gates. She looked up at us and questioned, "Name, please?" "Axel, and how do you do?" "No, your team name." Axel then realized, "Team name? We are not ready for this." Olivia perked up, "So much for losing anonymously." Me and Jesse were mumbling to each other about the team name. We both decided to stick with the ender theme, so we went with an ender-inspired name. "We're the Dead Enders." Jesse smiled. "Woah! It sounds like a name for pirates." "It's cool." Jesse and I looked at each other with satisfaction, relieved that the other two team members were okay with the name. "Okay Dead Enders, You guys are in booth 5. We all walk in. Jesse walked in first, Reuben quickly following behind him. Olivia walked in next, then behind her, followed Axel. He tried to walk through but got temporarily stuck in the gates. He budged free, but with that came laughter from the Ocelots. I walked in after Axel, looking over at the group, shaking my head. "You guys are cruel." I said as I walked by. But as I did so, I made eye contact with Lukas, AGAIN. This time, I gave him a dirty look. He really needs to get his friends under control. I walked over to the group and they were already in conversation. "Is that a freakin' beacon? They have a freakin' beacon!? Freakin' beacon!?" Axel said, talking about the Ocelots. They then pulled out stained glass. "That's stained glass, they aren't just building a beacon. They're building a rainbow beacon. We're gonna lose." Olivia once again, said with pessimism. I put my hand on her shoulder and smiled. Axel stood with his mouth open. "Close your mouth Axel." We heard Jesse say. I let out a little giggle as Axel shuts it. "We should probably stop staring at them." Olivia says, turning away to stop facing the Ocelots. "Hahaha! Look, It's the Order of the Losers. Again." "Good one, Gill!" I rolled my eyes at their comments. "We're just looking." Olivia told them. Aiden, being cocky and arrogant, said, "There'll be plenty of time for you to look at it after it wins and gets shown at Endercon." Axel crossed his arms. "You're being unpleasant." "Maybe not all of you...Endercon doesn't allow outside food or drink. I'm talking about your pig! I'm saying he's food." Jesse got slightly annoyed with Aiden and told him to shut up. "Shut up." Aiden didn't like that very much, because he snapped back at Jesse. "What's that?" This time I got annoyed and replied to Aiden. "He told you to shut up. Do you need to hear it again?" I asked, coldly. Aiden was about to open his mouth, but before he could, Lukas yelled over to him. "Stop wasting your time Aiden, we got work to do." He turned back at me and got in my face. "You're lucky I'm busy." I kept eye contact with him the whole time, giving him a cold, stern look of hatred again. He turned away, but I kept staring. Once he had fully turned, I swiveled my body around, only to meet face to face with Petra. "Hey Jesse. Guys." "Hey Petra." Olivia said. "Hey P." She gave me a smile before asking, "How's the build going?" Axel replied with "Only time will tell. But we're optimistic." "Most of us..." I mumbled under my breath, inaudible to everyone else. I was implying Olivia. She seemed very nervous and pessimistic about the whole thing. Just then, I heard a familiar voice. I turned my head, only to meet eyes with Lukas. He gave me a small smile, before returning his eyes to Petra. "Hey Petra, I forgot to thank you for that nether star." "Hey Lukas. Not a problem." Axel seemed to be bothered by that. "You helped these tools?" "For the right price, I'll help anyone. If you need anything, you know where to find me." Petra said, before walking away from us. "None of us know where to find you." Olivia shouted. "Exactly." I heard P say. I let out another giggle. "No hard feelings guys. If you're cool with Petra, you're cool with us. Cool? So why don't we just forget about all of this, and, y'know...make this about how cool our builds are." Lukas said, smiling at all of us. I was skeptical about this. Lukas was a part of the Ocelots; He was the leader, but he wasn't as bad as the other 3. Jesse spoke, "May the best team win." Lukas smiled, "Careful what you wish for." I smiled back and said, "Careful what YOU wish for." And with that, we both turned away and walked back to our groups. I decided that I should try to be on his good side, plus, he can't be THAT bad if Petra can tolerate him. Just then the announcer started speaking to the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen...welcome to the Endercon Building Competition! The winners of this competition will have their build featured at Endercon." There was small cheering from the people. "The winners will also meet, in person, Gabriel the Warrior!" The small cheering erupted into loud, excited cheering. "Ocelots! Ocelots! Ocelots!" Is what we hear a few feet away from us. We look over at the group to see them performing a handshake. "Woah. Handshake? We don't have a handshake." A smile appeared on Jesse's face. "We'll just make one up. We'll call it the uhhhhhhh..." "The Builder Bump." He finished. We all put our hands out and started fist-bumping and high fiving. We stopped because we physically couldn't go on with it, plus we hadn't even come up with anything either. "Andddd... just like that, I'm nervous again." Jesse started talking to Olivia. "Don't talk like that! We can do this! Just stick to the plan and everything will be fine." Jese said, encouragingly. "This year, the Dead Enders can't lose!" "Building...starts..." We heard the announcer start saying. "Now!" And with that, we started. We placed oak wood planks and cobblestone. Olivia had placed redstone on top of it all. I had beams of sweat all over my face, so I wiped them with the back of my arm. As I did so, I looked around a little bit, making eye contact with Lukas. As soon as that happened, he turned away instantly, going back to working on his build. 'Hm. That was sorta odd.' I thought to myself. 'He was probably just looking at our build and accidentally looked at me.' Just then, my thoughts were interrupted by an annoying voice I've learned to know so well. "Oh, no! A fireworks dispenser?! I'm soooo scared!" That annoying voice belonged to Aiden, who was making fun of our build. I rolled my eyes at his remarks. "You worry about your build and we'll worry about ours." Jesse spat at him. Aiden then rolled his eyes and went back to building. We hopped down from the fireworks dispenser structure and started building the enderman. This is where my wool came in handy. We dyed it black and started placing the blocks down. We finished by placing 4 purple-stained glass blocks for the eyes. Jesse was looking around at the other builds as I spoke. "And now, the moment of truth." "Here goes nothing..." Olivia said as she flicked the lever, and the fireworks started to occur. Shades of red, green, blue, yellow, purple, and more started colouring the sky. I stood awkwardly as people began to swarm our enderman. Olivia started to smile, "This looks so cool. We'll win this for sure." "I gotta admit, this enderman is sweet! Good call, guys." The unibrowed fellow said. The crowd had gotten larger and Jesse had finally noticed. "Guys, people are looking at us." He whisper-shouted at us. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious Jess." I jokingly whisper-shouted back. "Good build man!" A stranger in the crowd yelled out to us. Just then, we hear squealing from the ground below us. We all looked at each other before looking at the ground. We saw Reuben's ender dragon costume in flames, and him, running off into the woods. "Oh no! Reuben's on fire! Reuben, no! Come back!" Jesse started yelling in panic. "It was Aiden, that punk!" Axel accused, though, the accusation was correct. I had enough. I really wanted to hit Aiden, really badly. Axel and Olivia took turns talking. "The lava's getting closer!" "It's gonna ruin the build!" "Reuben's gonna get lost! We have to do something!" "But our build is about to go up in flames!" Jesse made a decision, "You three stay and save the build." Axel and Olivia nodded and hopped down to start placing cobblestone to stop the lava from spreading. Jesse hopped down at the same time, but ran towards the direction Reuben went in. I hopped down after the other 3, but not going the same way as Jesse or Olivia and Axel. I walked straight, towards Aiden. "Hey Aiden!" He was facing the opposite direction, pretending like he hadn't broken the blocks that were encasing the lava. He turned around with an annoyed expression. That's when I cocked back my arm and hooked his face with my fist. He fell hard, not realizing what had happened. I then threw myself on top of him and cocked back my arm again. My fist came down for the second time. I brought it back for a third time, but felt two strong hands gripped on it. I then felt one of them let go, and went for my waist to pull me back. Whoever had a grip on me, pulled me off of Aiden. Maya and Gill were helping Aiden up, who was wiping blood from his nose. My breathing was heavy and my body was tense. I turned my head to see who was holding me. It was none other than the blonde I learned to start liking. He had a worried, but yet calm; a stern but yet understanding expression. He looked at me, dead in the eyes. His eyes were begging me to stop, but yet condoning me to continue on. He spoke with an angry but distressed tone. "Y/n, Stop." I tugged my arm out of his grip and spoke. "Well that jerk hurt Reuben! He deserves it!" I snapped at Lukas. Olivia and Axel showed up behind me. "Y/n, just calm down." Olivia tried to reason with me. "NO! I've had enough of your group Lukas! You guys just can't seem to be nice for one day! All you ever do is go around, bullying and making fun of people!" I yelled, directing at Lukas. "Hey, in my defense, I've never bullied anyone in my life!" Lukas told me. "Yeah? But you don't do anything to stop the others from doing it!" Luka's facial expression dropped from a defensive one, to a sorrowful one. "You got me there..." He said, guiltily. "Exactly." I said coldly. I turned my body to walk away, but kept my head facing him. "Maybe if you teach your friends some manners, I wouldn't have hit him. You ARE supposed to be the leader of them." I finished saying. I then turned my head and walked off. I didn't know where I was going, I was just going.

~Time Skip~

I had met back up with Axel and Olivia to walk around town and check out the shops and such. I was looking at a shop, when all of a sudden, I heard Olivia say Jesse's name. "Jesse." She paused as I turned around. ". . .and Petra...?" I smiled at Petra. "Hey. You all know Petra...my new super-close friend. We're super-close now." Jesse said, rubbing the back of his head with his hand. "Of course I know P." I told Jesse. Petra facepalms as Reuben shakes his little head. "We ran into each other while I was looking for Reuben." The brown-haired boy admits. Olivia noticed a bruise on Reuben's face, specifically around his left eye. "Poor Reuben—what happened to his eye?" "We had a little run-in with some zombies. They whacked him good, but Reuben held his own." They didn't really question why Petra was in the woods at this time, Axel and Olivia were more focused on telling the two and the pig what I did. "Speaking of whacking–Y/N whacked one of the Ocelots pretty good earlier." Olivia began. I tilted my head down, putting my hands in my pockets. Jesse and Petras' eyes widened. Axel continued, "and by 'whacking', she means punching. And by 'one of the Ocelots', she means Aiden." Jesse let out a quick gasp as Reuben oinked a slight bit. "Woah, Y/N, is this true?" Petra questioned. I didn't say anything at first. Jesse got a bit worried and said my name. "Y/N...?". I decided to speak. "I don't want to talk about it, okay...?" I told them. Jesse gave me a sideways smile, "I understand." He also said. The air was thick because of the awkward silence. "Okayyy...On another note, we won?" Olivia said, trying to change the subject. "I know, we saw the fireworks on our walk back here.", said Jesse. "Our enderman is so life-like, I don't even want to GLANCE at it." "We did okay, didn't we?" Axel stated, although it sounded like a question. "I wish I could've gotten that part in the back to look better." Olivia complained. "And I could've fit more fireworks in there...somewhere." stated Axel. Jesse smiled before speaking, "I'm proud of you guys." "Awe shucks..." "Don't make me blush. Seriously. Don't." Axel and Olivia said. I just stayed quiet. I knew he was proud of me, even if I didn't help save the build. I know he's proud that I socked Aiden in the face...twice. Just then, Petra interrupted with a hurrying tone. "Hey, Jesse. It's time to go see about that—thing." Jesse realized and agreed. "Oh, right, the 'thing'." I panned my eyes from left to right, "Subtle." "As a punch to the face, Axel, Y/N, and I were gonna head into Endercon anyway —see you in there?" Olivia asked Jesse. "I heard they were selling free cake by the map booth." And with that, we left. I gave Jesse and Petra a little wave before catching up with Axel and Olivia.
