The next day's first period was English. Clay sat in his seat to the middle left. He sat where he disappeared best.

At the front of the room sat George with his close school friends Alex, Nick (better known as Sapnap to Clay), and Karl. They were the popular kids. They took up the left corner of the room with Dream being the barrier between them and the kids who were slacking off completely in the back. Clay curled into himself in his seat as his Uncle entered the room. Wilbur and Techno were not far behind taking the front seats to the right of the popular kids.

"Everyone gets into pairs, with the odd number there will be one group of three assigned." his uncle projected to the class setting his stack of two folders, some loose papers, and a book on his desk. The class quickly split up as Dream put his forehead down on the desk knowing from experience his Uncle would assign him to some other group or allow him to work individually.

"Clay, join Nick and George, since they are the closest group to you" Clay's head shot up as most of the class turned to stare at him, "You all will be doing a project that will not be presented but will be graded. As seen in the book the authors mostly express the character's emotions through a shared blog with their best friend. You all will be doing something similar making a blog and printing it out to give in. On this sheet, you will see a link for a free co-author blog at the top to use. Get in your groups and begin to discuss the outline, you have till Winter break to write twelve each. That gives you three and a half months to do this."

Dream looked down at his desk, chairs screeched, and whispers fluttered around as everyone prepared Elbows and arms appeared in Clay's range of sight Clay glanced up to see Nick and George staring at him.

"So, Clay, Nick's parents don't like people over when they aren't home, and they are out for a conference tonight. Meanwhile, my brother has already commandeered the house for tonight, so can we go to yours after school to work on this?" George asked trying his best to keep eye contact with Clay's own eyes.

"Sure, but I'm not sure how quiet it will be" Clay muttered to the two boys barely audible among the sound of the classroom.

"I'm sure it's not that bad Clay, what your cousins yell a lot when they visit or something?" Sapnap asks with a roll of his eyes.

"Lemme just tell my dad," Clay said with a sigh grabbing his phone to text Schlatt.

School ended with no more surprises that day as Clay waited by the front of the school for his dad and the other two boys. Schlatt had promised his brother-in-law to pick up the youngest three so that Phil could take his elder twins back to Schlatt's home to work on grading.

George and Sapnap broke off from their small posse of friends and fans to join Clay on the low wall in front of the school. They awkwardly stood to his left George slightly in front of Sapnap. After a minute's pause conversation broke through.

"Where's your dad or uncle, Clay? I thought them working at the school would mean quick pick up." Sapnap said glancing around George to look at Clay.

"My dad is coming, my sibling and cousin's school gets out twenty minutes before ours, so he went to pick them up first" Clay spoke up glancing at the two who seemed surprised by this information.

"I didn't realize you had sibling, Clay"

"Yeah, two, Toby or Tubbo and Drista", Clay responded to George, "and a younger cousin their age, Tommy, he is Wilbur and Techno's younger brother"

Both boys eyed Clay trying to figure him out as he quickly glanced at his phone before looking to the road in front of them. Getting up, he motioned to the other two boys leading them to a dark blue minivan. George and Sapnap glanced at each other as they saw their own principal turn to look behind himself in the car. Clay opened the door behind the driver's side sliding all the way in to behind the passenger seat. George got in behind him, as Sapnap squished in behind George.
