Okay, Tye, Marcus, and I played rock-paper-scissors (Jack hadn't arrived yet). Alright, THREE, TWO, ONE—everyone said "rock," "paper," or "scissors." Tye chose rock, Marcus chose rock, and I chose scissors... NO, THIS IS RIGGED! I said. Tye replied, "Bro, stop resisting and go sit on their side. At least you get to sit with the girls." I shouted, "BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO!" Marcus said, "Bro, you lost. Go sit next to them." I sighed, "OK, FINE."

I went and sat next to Lia. I said, "Hey, Lia" (Mary wasn't here yet). Lia responded, "Hey, Arion! What were you and the guys talking about?" I replied, "Oh, nothing, just some games we played" (I can't tell her we were fighting over who would sit next to you two demons). Lia said, "Okay." As we were talking, Mary and Jack came running into the class. Marcus exclaimed, "Woah, woah, guys, chill! What's wrong?"

Jack said, "Nothing." Mary added, "We were racing to see who is faster." I thought, "WTF?" Mary came running to Lia and said, "Lia, LET'S RACE AFTER SCHOOL!" Lia responded, "FINE. ARION WILL BE THE REF." I thought, "WHYY MEEEE? God, what did I do to deserve this?"

I asked Lia, "Why did you pick me? There's Tye, Marcus, Jack, and even Leo (aka a random kid)." Leo chimed in, "ARION, DON'T DRAG ME INTO THIS OR..." I said, "Bro, calm down! I was joking. We all know you're too nice to get into fights."

Tye said, "GUYS, I HAVE AN IDEA!" We all kind of said, "What?" Tye looked at me and then my hands. I said, "NO, NOT ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS!" Tye exclaimed, "MAJORITY VOTE THEN!" I said, "FINE."

Tye asked, "Guys, who wants to do rock-paper-scissors?" Marcus shouted, "ME!" Lia said, "I do!" Mary chimed in, "Me too!" Jack said, "I'm on Arion's side this time." I just looked at Jack, and he gave me a THUMBS UP. He's a true friend.
