Brett nodded, his face still showing concern. "Fine, if you insist." He said softly, biting on his lower lip. 'I'm hungry… and Ezra's acting strange.'He thought to himself, trying to push both thoughts out of his head. He couldn't really fix either thing.
"Indeed, I do insist," Ezra said, bouncing off. He hummed quietly as he strode through the halls, every now and then looking back to make sure that Brett was still with him. He looked around as he walked, trying to find something worthy of conversation. His thought consisted of groans and complaints.
Oh, c'mon, Ezra, he thought to himself, you have to have something interesting to talk about, because no one wants to talk about grass.
They quickly approached the main building for their classes were to begin soon. As they arrived, he looked at the doors in the school building, he couldn't help but think about how much they reminded him of the cellar door in his grandmother's house. It brought back good memories. Although, it looked a bit weird from the outside, you know, seeing someone randomly smile at the door to a janitor's closet. Because who does that?
Despite this, he kept smiling and traced his hand over the uneven paint job on the door. He sighed deeply and contently. That is, until the door swung open, causing Ezra to fall in with a loud yelp.
Brett followed him in an awkward silence. He bit his lip more, trying to distract himself from both Ezra's strangness and how hungry he was. But as he kept biting on his already chapped lips, he started to taste a metallic taste. The taste of blood. He sighed, and lifted his dark sleeve to his lip to stop the blood flow. "I seriously need to stop this." His thoughts muttered, as he dabbed his lip.
Brett skidded to a stop, when Ezra stopped too. He watched him, carefully at that. He stood, and wasn't sure what to say or do. What could he do? Ezra was being kinda weird, starring at doors, and suddenly stopping Brett from playing. It was starting to freak him out some.
Not as much as the door opening and Ezra falling back did.
With his odd reflexes, Brett caught him, and looked down at him. "You OK?" He asked, his lip clearly still bleeding.
Michael nodded "I have an internship at a coding business a few blocks away" then held up a company key card with his picture on it
“Oh nice,” Pollux said, “I’m doing a combination of scribing and shadowing, and well… whatever else they want me to do.”
He kept walking until they approached the arcade, then waited for his friend to enter the building first.
“Thanks! Well, I’ve started drawing since I turned seven.” She paused and then started mentally counting. She smiled after she had gotten her answer. “So, in total, I’ve been drawing for thirteen years. It’s actually quite a long time, and luckily, I haven’t gotten tired of drawing.”
"Wow!" Ran smiled shyly, for she was about to ask a question that she wasn't sure if it was okay to ask. She'd never met an artist before, which was surprising, since she'd met many people in her life before. "Can… is it possible for you to teach me?"
“Oh nice,” Pollux said, “I’m doing a combination of scribing and shadowing, and well… whatever else they want me to do.”
He kept walking until they approached the arcade, then waited for his friend to enter the building first.
"Thank you good sir" Michael said in a joking medieval voice laughing as he went inside to hold the door open for Pollux with a smile
Pollux walked in, tugging at his backpack strap. He was still just in the state of following Michael around, not knowing exactly what he should do.

“Yeah, I’m sure I can teach you! With determination anything is possible.” Libra responded with a slight chuckle. Many people weren’t interested in learning how to improve their drawing skills or how to draw, so she was happy that Ran wanted to learn.

"dance battle?" Michael asked curiously pointing to Dance Dance Revolution which was by the Street fighters series and an old Sonic machine
Pollux laughed.
“You just want to beat me right out the gate, don’t you?” he asked, “But I can’t turn down a challenge.”
Michael nodded and walked to the game putting in a couple coins and stood against the rails waiting on Pollux to join him with a smile "Hey what are friends for?" his voice laced with laughter
Pollux used the rail to get up on the platform and stood in wait. He cast a curious glance over at Michael.
"You ready?"
Michael nodded getting into a ready stance on the arrows
Pollux glanced over.
“Alright then, let’s dance,” he said.
He waited for Michael to start up the game.
Michael chose the Spectre by Alan Walker then started dancing to the beginning beat before the first moves
“Oh, so you’re ready,” Pollux commented.
He watched the screen carefully for further prompt, but stole a glance of Michael here and there. He internalized the beat of the music, quietly preparing himself.
Michael looked at the screen and followed the movements with a little difficulty but mostly swift movement a smile there on his face as he played this with Pollux
Pollux followed. He was a bit clumsy at first, but it didn't take long until he got the hang of it. Of course he wasn't flawless- he wasn't flawless by any means, but for only having played the game a few times, even he was a little impressed with himself.
"I'm gonna give you a run for your money," he promised Michael.
"My moneys on that" Michael laughed as he continued then dropped low continuing to dance popping back up after a few dance moves
"You know getting all fancy doesn't earn you any extra points," Pollux teased, simply doing the footwork as it was displayed on the screen.
"In fact, I might win at this rate."
Michael pointed to the points they were tied right now his smile growing as he continued dancing "we'll see…Twenty bucks?"
Pollux played with his lip ring, frowning a bit.
"I don't have twenty bucks to spare, bud," he muttered.
“Yeah, I’m sure I can teach you! With determination anything is possible.” Libra responded with a slight chuckle. Many people weren’t interested in learning how to improve their drawing skills or how to draw, so she was happy that Ran wanted to learn.
"Really? Thank you so much!" Ran grinned. "Oh- which reminds me, when does class start? Just so I can be prepared, y'know?"
“Class starts at 11 AM, which is in about two hours and a half. Some students come early to school to study or to hang out with friends before school starts.” It was true, many students came early to school to do exactly that. She smiled at Ran and hesitated a moment before saying, “Can I have my sketchbook back?”
"Well then I'll lose" Michael smiled, as he spoke he stopped dancing to let Pollux take the lead then began again
Pollux scowled.
“Hey, that’s no fun,” he murmured, “I’m not asking for money.”
He shuffled his feet a bit more.
