"Riles?"
"Peaches?"
"How you feeling today?"
"Well, I didn't cry all night"
"That's good" Yea, we're still in the hole, alone, well, not really. Elliot decided to keep us company when he can.
"Because I stopped when I passed out from crying"
"Well, you seem better now"
"That's where you're wrong"
"Okay"
"But the seniors wanted us to stand here, watch what goes on, and learn from it. They have their reason" Truthfully, I have my doubts, I don't trust them.
"To make fools out of us? Mission accomplished. We're fools. We're fools without friends"
"Maya, they know what they're doing?"
"What are we supposed to learn here, Elliot?!" I take a deep breath to calm down, I shouldn't be taking it with him to express my frustration
"Just wait and see"
"They made their choice, Maya. They have started their high school careers without us and I wish them well"
"Yeah. Maybe we shouldn't think about them today. Yeah. I hope that Farkle remembers that science can't explain people and he keeps himself open to love" I sigh
"You gonna do one for each?"
"Yes" I'm hungry
"Give me a couple bucks for a brownie" she hands me some money and I go to the vending machine
"Okay, Maya. I want juice"
"Me too"
"I hope Smackle looks up from her books every once in a while so that she doesn't miss life" "Apple?"
"Grape"
"I want apple!"
"Okay"
"I hope Zay stops using comedy to cover up his inner turmoil" I hate seeing her this sad, I should give her a nice surprise. I should give it to Elliot too to say sorry.
"Uh, they're out of grape and apple"
"Surprise me" they say in unison. I smirk and give them what they wanted
"They're not really out of grape and apple!" they gasp
"What a nice surprise"
"Did you get to Lucas yet?"
"I hope Lucas... I hope Lucas... I hope Lucas has a very bad day"
"You know what? I'd rather be a fool with you than to be anything without you. So... what can we learn from down here?"
"Hm, here comes purple combat boots. I like her. She walks with confidence. And here comes jungle girl. She's waiting for motorcycle boots"
"Vroom, vroom" they start kissing and Elliot covers my and Riley's eyes.
"Vroom, vroom, baby!"
"Riles?"
"Peaches?"
"They're way more advanced in high school"
"We're middle school hand-holders"
"What if those seniors sent us down here because we think we're so ready for this place and we're so not?"
"Well, then I'd be right. And I hope that I'm right"
"You are, Riley, you are" he looks at the hour on his phone
"Gotta go now. Football practice"
"Be careful" he smiles
"Maya, he's been on the football team for over a year now. Don't you think you're a little too overprotective?" I shake my head
"I'm not. Every time he ends up with bruises, a black eye or something else. It's not very enjoyable. Especially when your mom gets mad" he chuckles
"Okay, I'll be careful"
"Promise"
"I'll do my best" he kisses my head and hugs Riley before leaving.

*At the lockers room, Eliot's POV*

I've already changed and my uniform is too little. Did I grow up? Nah, I don't think so. The whole team gathers around the coach
"All right, whose house is this?"
"Our house!"
"Whose house is this?!"
"Our house!"
"What happens to the poor unfortunate soul who mistakenly wanders into our house?" Every one screams except for me. I just find this very stupid, almost humiliating. Coach blows his whistle, making the screams stop
"All right, congratulations, ballerinas. You have achieved practice level, but that's all that was, practice against your fellow ballerinas. Okay? That was not a game against opponents who are trying to come into our house and make it their house! How do we protect this house?" Holy crap. Chaos, chaos everywhere. Someone even tears down a locker
"All right, so we're not the brightest team in the league. This is our locker room! I want you to do that to the opponents... but I like what I'm seeing. I'll tell you, the biggest regret I got in my whole life is that we got no opponent walking through that door right now into our house so we can destroy them!" we hear a knock on the the door
"Come in" Oh God, it's Lucas and Zay, what are they doing here?
"Lucas and Zay in the house!"
"We go to this high school and we belong here, and we want to be on the football team, and what are you gonna do about it?" I shake my head
"Do what you must" the team picks up Zay and drags him away. I don't eve wanna know what they're gonna do to him
"Lucas!"
"I'm coming!" the cowboy bumps into me and falls to the ground
"Hey, how's it going?"
"I'm good. It was nice knowing you"
"What?" they drag him away too. I sigh
"Okay bring them back!" Great, they just have some of their clothes ripped out, nothing bad.
"Thank you"
"You're welcome"
"How could you ever think you'd get on the football team?" Thor asks them
"Cause we're strong man!" I chuckle
"Yeah, sure. Have you looked around you?!" Lucas looks down.
"Listen, we thought that-"
"No. Just listen to me. You just started high school. You are freshmen. You're too young and inexperienced for this"
"What about you?"
"This guy right here..." Thor wraps an arm around me
"Got here when he was a sophomore and frankly, it was a miracle. He's the youngest person to have entered the team"
"How did you do make it?"
"I took some time to look around and realized that there were stronger kids than me"
"Yeah, no kidding. You were almost as weak as Farkle" I step in front of them to prove my superiority.
"So I started training, hard. I got the results I wanted and tried. I gave my best and I got in"
"He's a true prodigy. Now he's even faster and stronger than last year. That's why he's our captain"
"You're the captain?!" I slightly laugh
"It's me. Listen, try next year or when you're sophomore. This is just not the right time. Lucas, out there you might be as strong as a horse but here, you're just...how do we call them, Thor?"
"A ballerina"
"Just leave now" they walk away.
