I walked out with Petra after class was over, trying not to let myself get stomped on by the chaos of students trying to escape their prison. We found an empty spot near one of the classrooms and began to chat. I had robotics next period, so I didn't have to get anything from my locker. Gil would understand, I was making new friends after all.

"Hey, I gotta say. You're one smart cookie." She complimented, grinning. I chuckled nervously.

"Thanks." 

"Yeah." Petra replied. "So, anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to meet up with a friend of mine. She can be a bit difficult at times, but she's cool once you get to meet her."

I immediately smiled and nodded. Another friend. This day was turning out to be pretty good.

"Of course. That sounds great." I replied, suddenly excited. "When?"

"I'll let you know, but she's absent today, so probably another time this week." She explained, and I nodded. "Oh, and um, don't tell your friend Gil just yet."

I raised an eyebrow in confusion, folding my arms across my chest.

"Huh? Why?" I asked and she blew a strand of hair out of her face, turning away from me.

"Just...trust me, alright? Gil and her, they've got some history. And none of it anyone would describe as good. And I...I was somewhat part of that."

The look on her face made my expression soften.

"Alright. You gonna tell me any of this stuff though?" I questioned, right before the bell rang, making my senses go on high alert. I sighed and picked up my backpack from the floor as Petra did the same.

"Yeah, I will. At the right time." She exclaimed, grinning. "I'll see you later Lukas."

I waved goodbye and headed toward robotics, my footsteps getting mixed in with the raging crowd.

*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*

Mr. End was about my height, with orange hair and a beard, along with a gray suit-looking outfit. I showed him my schedule, the routine getting old already, and he let me choose my spot with a laugh and a smile. The room we were in was large, with some tables organized in groups of four. I looked around the room until I spotted a table in the back with one spot left. There were two males and one female, talking rapidly to each other.

I took in a breath and walked towards them, getting ready to introduce myself and ask them for the seat.

"Hey," I said and they immediately stopped talking and turned to me.

"Hey." The girl replied kindly. She had brown hair and pushed to the side and a blue and white striped shirt.

"Is anyone sitting here?" I asked, and she turned to the two males before back to me.

"Yeah, actually." She said and my face fell. "You."

"Wha-?"

"Sit down," she laughed, grabbing my arm and pulling me into the seat. The other two just laughed along with her as I tried not to let my backpack haul me over to the side.

"Uh thanks?" I said, getting organized as my cheeks flushed.

"No prob." Said the girl. "Name's Stacy. That's Dan-" she pointed to the guy sitting next to me with blue hair and a pair of goggles on his forehead, "-and that's Stampy-" she then gestured to the guy next to her, with an orange cat hoodie on. They both smiled and waved.

"We usually have another friend-Lizzie-sit with us, but she's gonna be absent for a trip for the next few weeks. She wouldn't mind if you sat with us for a while, uh-" Stacy paused for a moment.

"Lukas, Lukas Booke." I replied, nodding.

"Lukas." She repeated. "Nice." 

"So, did you transfer here from another class-? Or-?" Dan asked, and I could hear a bit of an accent in his voice. I wish I had an accent.

"Oh, I'm new. I transferred here from a different school." I replied, scratching the back of my head. He nodded.

"I see, so you're really new." He exclaimed. "Well, you got nothing to worry about, this school's pretty great."

At the word worry something churned in my stomach, making me feel uneasy. I remembered.

"Dan's just exaggerating." Stampy said, rolling his eyes playfully. "It's only great if you've got good friends to hang out with. I mean, I do-of course-"

Stacy punched him on the shoulder and laughed. Dan broke into a grin and chuckled. I smiled at them. They seemed like such good friends. Maybe I can have that someday.

"Alright, alright class. Settle down." Mr. End exclaimed, but the class (except my table of course) ignored him. "Quiet, or I'll play the newest track of my new singing album."

The class immediately fell silent.

Ayy we added the YouTubers! (Sorry Lizzie and Sparkles)

I want a lot of MCSM characters to have a part in this, even if it's just a little.

Um I don't have anything else to say so...cya next chapter
