Fresh POV

Cray slowly got up, and he looked a little embarrassed. I chuckled at his reaction after his crying and said, "You embarrassed little bro?" Cray scratched the back of his head and chuckled slightly. "You should go back home." Cray looked a little surprised at my suggestion. 

"You sure bro?" Cray asked, skeptical. I just nodded, I patted the top of his head. It was something that we did when we were younger, it meant that we were with the other one in whatever was happening. Cray just laughed and walked out the door and yelled over his shoulder, "Alright bro, just call if you need help getting home. Don't do anything dumb!" 

I yelled after him, "Have you met me?" He laughed his head off at that, but he left the office and I was once again alone in the room.

PJ POV

I limped back to the office, Undyne had chased me around the school a little. Undyne was now just leaning against the door, crying a little. "Are you okay?" I asked softly, Undyne's head shot up and she just nodded. She walked off, back to her class. I turned my head to the door as it opened, Cray walked out. 

"Have you met me?" Fresh yelled after him, Cray just laughed his head off and walked away.

Toriel came back to the office, most likely after grabbing something from the storage room. "Uh, Ms. Toriel?" She stopped for a moment and turned back to me. "Is Fresh gonna be okay to go to his last class?" I asked, the only reason why I was here was because Error had asked if Fresh would be okay to get to PE. And at that time I had the pleas- I MEAN unpleasant moment of realizing that I had more classes with Fresh. 

"Of course my child." Toriel said, she gestured into the room. I just sighed and followed her in, of course she would insist that I stayed with the nerd. When I walked in Fresh was just looking out the window, but the moment he saw me he cocked his head to the side, like a dog. It was absolutely adorable! WAIT ADORABLE? I felt my face start to heat up as I thought, the nerd is just a nerd, and a cute one at that. WTH?! My face heated up even more as a slight blush dusted his cheek bones. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Fresh POV

I began to blush a little as PJ began to completely overheat. Why is he blushing? And why is he here? "W-Why are you here?" I asked, I really didn't want to beat around the bush. He just scratched the back of his head and responded, 

"I'm here to escort you to your last class." "Oh, okay." I responded, understanding why the handsome jerk was here. HANDSOME?!?! That magical blast scrambled my brain more than I thought. I looked at my watch and got up, we had about 3 minutes before the bell rang and the halls were flooded with students. 

I turned back to the nurse, "Thank you." I thanked the nurse. 

She just smiled, "No problem little one." I smiled back and went out the door. PJ was taken aback for a moment but quickly followed. After going through the halls a bit we made it to the PE class.

"How did you...?" PJ questioned as we entered the gym and went into the changing rooms. 

"I went on a tour before I started to go here." I said simply as I changed into my gym clothes. I felt eyes on me while I got my shirt out of my locker. I looked over to see PJ staring at me, my face began to heat up. I just looked away and put on my shirt as I thought, why is that idiot staring at me? I just ran out to sit on the bleachers, still blushing a little.

PJ POV

I stared at the nerd when he was getting dressed. He was so small, cute, and delicate. I just wanted to hug him forever. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! My face heated up as Fresh looked at me and started to blush. He just sped up changing while I was having and internal debate. He was so cute, but I can't like a nerd. Nerds and Jocks are supposed to hate each other, but... ENOUGH! I just got dressed and sat out on the bleachers as kids continued to enter the class. I looked down the bleachers to see Fresh, he looked so cute. Am I having a crush on him?

Fresh POV

Kids continued to file into class, and soon we were all sitting on the bleachers, waiting for the PE teacher. Suddenly a black skeleton came in and started yelling, "I'M Error, YoUr PE TeaChER, So gO aNd DO 3 lAPs!" Kids jumped off the bleachers and did as they were told. I kept pace with Alphys, and we were soon done. Even nerds can do so little laps with ease. "oK, NoW wE aRe DoINg DoDgEbaLL. TeAmS oF 16!" Coach Error shouted, kids got into the teams with haste. I groaned a little, I was no where close to being good at this game. 

It started up in chaos, immediately Alphys got out with a pretty hard hit. I dodged an incoming ball and gave her a thumbs up, she gave it back as she went to sit on the bleachers. When I picked up another ball it felt a little odd though. I threw it to no avail at a kid and checked what was going on. My ring was on my finger! But I didn't put it on, this is very strange. 

Suddenly a ball came flying at me and I ducked, but everything suddenly turned kinda beige, like an old piece of paper. A ball suddenly seemed to pop out of nowhere and I dodged it easily. It looked like a drawing, but I had no idea. Another ball came flying at me and I caught it easily. Figures suddenly began to draw themselves out, and I threw it hard at one. It connected with ease as I dodged another ball, and caught the other one, and threw it back at a figure that kinda looked like Undyne. It continued in this pattern for a while, and pushed other kids out of the way, in this odd way of seeing. Eventually there was just one figure left, it kinda looked like PJ. I payed that no mind as I continued my cycle, but he kept dodging. I growled in frustration, and suddenly I finally saw dodgeballs on the ground. I picked up three and threw them at him rapid fire. He dodged the first two, but the third connected with his shoulder. The world came back into color and detail, I blinked for a moment, not used to color. I looked around to see that I was the only one still standing on the field, everyone else was on the edge of their seats. How the heck?! I was never good at this! HOW?!?! My panicked questions came to an end as I was suddenly hugged by Alphys.

"I never knew you were this good at dodgeball." She said as she released me. "Me neither." I muttered, Alphys looked at me strangely, she had heard me. "Uh?" Alphys looked very curious, but I couldn't really explain it with so many people around. "I'll tell you later." I whispered, I looked at my watch, five minutes until class was over. "WElL..." Couch Error trailed off, Alphys wasn't the only one surprised at my sudden skill. "GeT mOVinG YoU MagGotS!" He shouted, and we all went into the changing rooms and went home, that was confusing for everyone to say the least.

PJ POV (back at the beginning of the game)

We all got ready, and my dad (Error) blew the whistle. I was the first to throw and I got Fresh's friend out. He dodged all of the attempts to get him out easily, and then he started to catch the dodgeballs and return fire. I barely dodged some of his attempts to get other kids out, but Undyne was out immediately. I watched the nerd and saw him start to do cartwheels, who is this kid?! I threw a ball at a kid, but the nerd pushed him away from the ball. Soon it was only me and Fresh on the field, and I kept dodging his attempts and he dodged mine. Fresh ducked down from a near hit and instead dropped down and grabbed three dodgeballs. He started to throw them really fast, I dodged left, then right. I tried to dodge but it connected with my shoulder. The nerd just blinked in surprise when his friend hugged him. Fresh didn't seem to know what just happened himself. But he just beat nearly all of the jocks in a game of physical prowess. "WElL..." Dad trailed off, we were all surprised by Fresh. "GeT mOVinG YoU MagGotS!" We all scrambled to the changing rooms and I watched the cute nerd again. Who was this kid?
