Virgil stood up and walked over to the railing, sitting on it.

"What do you say we close that door?" He asked the group, "we can't have any kind of party with Sanders checking us out every few seconds."

"Well, you know the door's supposed to stay open..." Logan mumbled, the same time Remus shouted a "hell yeah!"

"So what?" Virgil asked, staring at Logan, but threw a smile at Remus.

"So why don't you just shut up," Patton glared, "there's five other people in here you know?"

"God, you can count. See! I knew you had to be smart to be a... a wrestler." Virgil smirked, sarcasm oozing from his voice.

"Who the hell are you to judge anybody anyway?" Roman asked, squinting in confusion.

"Really..." Patton sighed.

"You know, Black... you don't even count." Roman said harshly, making Virgil's smirk fall to a neutral line.

"I mean if you disappeared forever it wouldn't make any difference. You may as well not even exist at this school."

Virgil would never admit it, but he was upset, he paused for a moment to swallow the lump in his throat, not let his emotions out.

Remus gawked at his brother and slammed his hand on the table, making every turn to him.

Remus glared, "watch what you say Romano, it might come back to bite you on the ass!" Virgil noticed everyone staring at the twin in green and he sent a gentle, and thankful smile to Remus.

Remus saw this and subtly nodded, both his and Virgil's stomachs doing flips. Nobody had ever stood up for Virgil like that and nobody ever smiled at Remus like that.

Virgil realised he was quiet for too long and said, "well... I'll just run right out and join the wrestling team." He said, looking at Patton.

Roman and Patton look at each other and began laughing at the idea.

"Maybe the prep club too!" Virgil continued, now looking at Roman.

"Student council..." Remus spoke up from the back.

"No, they wouldn't take you." Patton said.

"I'm hurt." Virgil said, hand over heart.

"You know why guys like you knock everything?" Roman asked.

Virgil turned to Remus, who rolled his eyes, "oh, this should be stunning..."

"It's 'cause you're afraid."

"Oh, God! You ritchies are so smart, that's exactly why I'm not heavy in activities!" Virgil said in mock enthusiasm.

"You're a big coward." Roman continued.

Logan watched and quietly said to nobody but himself really, "I'm in the math club..."

"See you're afraid that they won't take you. You don't belong so you just have to dump all over it." Roman explained with a shrug.

"Well... it wouldn't have anything to do with you activities people being assholes... now would it?" Virgil asked, in pretend thought.

"Well you wouldn't know... you don't even know any of us." Roman remarked.

"Well, I don't know any lepers either, but I'm not gonna run out and join one of their fucking clubs." Virgil retaliated.

Patton looked up at that, "hey let's watch the mouth, huh kiddo?" The nickname made Virgil scoff.

"I'm in the physics club too..." Logan muttered to himself, making Patton turn to him.

"S'cuse me a sec..." Virgil said to Roman, then looked up to Logan, "what are you babbling about?"

Logan blushed lightly, noticing the attention was all on him, "well, what I said was-" he held up a finger for each thing, "I'm in the math club, the Latin club and the physics club- physics club." He stuttered, swallowing nervously. Usually the boy never showed emotion, but with Virgil he was slightly scared.

Virgil nodded and turned to Roman, "hey... doutei... do you belong to the physics club?" He asked.

Patton frowned, "doutei?"

Logan leaned over, "it's Japanese for male virgin." Patton nodded and smiled in thanks.

"That's an academic club..." Roman replied.

"So?" Roman shrugged.

"So... academic clubs aren't the same as other kinds of clubs." Laughed Roman, as if it was obvious.

"What difference does it make? I'm in the Spanish Club, you know that Ro." Remus scoffed.

"Ah, but to dorks like him," Virgil pointed at Logan, "and babes like him," he pointed to Remus now a light blush on his cheeks because he's heard Remus talk in Spanish and it's sexy, "they are." Roman looked to him as Virgil asked Logan and Remus, "what do you guys do in your club?"

"Talk shit in Spanish." Smirked Remus.

"See? That's a social club." Virgil said, gesturing to Remus and then looked to Logan to continue.

"In physics, um, we ah, we talk about physics... about properties of physics-" Logan explained, stumbling over his sentence in fear Virgil would punch him.

"So it's sorta social!" He pointed to the left and right, "demented and sad, but social. Right?" He looked to Roman who looked down.

"Yeah, well, I guess you could consider it a social situation." Logan said, making Virgil look up, "I mean there are other children in my club and uh, at the end of the year we have, um, you know, a big banquet, at the, uh, at the Hilton."

Remus and Virgil looked interested at that.

"You load up, you party..." Remus smirked.

"Well, no, we get dressed up... I mean, but, we don't... we don't get high." Logan flushed.

"Only burners like you get high..." scoffed Roman.

"And, uh, I didn't have any shoes." Logan said, "so I had to borrow my dad's." Nobody was really listening to Logan anymore besides Patton who was genuinely interested.

"It was kinda weird 'cause my mom doesn't like me to wear other people's shoes. And, uh, my cousin Kent - my cousin Kendall from, uh, Indiana... he got high once and you know." Janus held up a yellow gloved hand and made a finger gun, pretending to shoot at him.

"He started eating like really weird foods. And uh, and then he just felt like he didn't belong anywhere. You know, kind of like, you know 'Twilight Zone'." Logan finished.

"Sounds like you..." Roman laughed mockingly at Virgil, but Remus had also said the same thing with a teasing tone that meant no harm.

Patton looked over to the office remembering Mr Sanders, and frowned in worry, "look, you guys keep up your talking and Sander's gonna come right in here... I got a meet this Saturday and I'm not gonna miss it on account of you guys..."

"Oh and wouldn't that be a bite..." Virgil said, with a moan of fake agony, "missing a whole wrestling meet!"

Patton glared, "well you wouldn't know anything about it, bonehead! You never competed in your whole life!"

"Oh, I know..." Virgil said with a mock whimper, "I feel all empty inside because of it. I have such a deep admiration for guys that roll around on the floor with big plastic masks."

"Ahhh... You'd never miss it. You don't have any goals." Patton rolled his eyes.

"Oh, but I do!" Virgil defended.

"Yeah?"

"I wanna be just-" he pointed at Patton, "like-" he pointed again, "you! I figure all I need's a lobotomy and some tights!"

Logan looked to Patton interested, "you wear tights?"

Patton blushed, "no I don't wear tights, I wear the required uniform..."

"Tights...?" Logan questioned.

"Shut up!" Patton said, now defensive and Janus smirked, scribbling on the table.

They went quiet as they heard Sanders moving around out in the hall so Virgil quickly rushed and sat in the chair between Roman and Patton. He folded his hands on the table.

Remus frowned, wishing Virgil moved to him.

Sanders went back to his office then out, down the hall, making Virgil laugh and get up. He walked towards the double doors that separate the library from the hallway.

"You know there's not supposed to be any monkey business." Logan called out.

Virgil turned and pointed at Logan and said in a stern voice, mocking Sanders, "young man have you finished your paper?"

Virgil turned back around and went to the door. He looked around cautiously and began fiddling with the hinges.

"Come on Black, don't screw around!" Logan called out in worry.

"Be careful!" Remus frowned.

"What are you gonna do?" Patton asked.

"Drop dead, I hope!" Roman mumbled making Remus glare.

He smiled and nodded, "alright!" He walked off.

Logan looked up again, to see Virgil still messing with the door to the library.

"Black, that's, that's school property there... you know, it doesn't belong to us. It's something not to be toyed with." But Virgil ignored him and now he was finished began walking away.

They all watched as the door slowly closed and slammed shut.

Virgil ran back to his seat and handed the screw to Remus, "hide it for me, Re." He smirked then his eyes went wide at the nickname, "-mus! Remus!"

"That's very funny, come on, fix it!" Patton scolded as Remus took the screw.

"You should really fix that." Logan spoke up and Remus shoved it his pocket.

"Am I a genius?" Virgil smirked and sat in his original seat.

"No, you're an asshole!" Roman replied.

"What a funny guy!" Virgil smirked, sarcastically.

"Fix the door Black!" Patton yelled.

"Everyone just shhh!" Virgil yelled back, lowering his hands.

Mr. Sanders walked back to his office, clicking his fingers and stopped, listening to them through the closed door.

"I've been here before, I know what I'm doing!" Thomas heard Virgil yell.

Then he heard Patton yelled, "no! Fix the door, get up there and fix it!"

"Shut up!" He heard Virgil scream.

Logan looked up as they all heard Sanders yell, "god damnit!"

Mr. Sanders slammed the door open and stormed in.
