EDEN SPENT THE NIGHT OVER AT DEMETRI'S HOUSE SINCE THE TWO TEENS GOT CAUGHT UP WATCHING THE HARRY POTTER MOVIES, so in the morning demetri accompanied her to her house to let her get ready for school. He was doing some finishing touches before going back downstairs where she saw her brother and demetri talking.

"Umm, we should get going before we're late." Demetri said gathering his belongings from the couch. Atticus went to go get the keys to his car, meanwhile the Eden and demetri went outside and got in the car. "I actually can't wait for biology today." Eden said. Biology has always been her favorite subject since that's where she met demetri.

"Well, lets just hope we're aren't late to first period." Demetri brought up. Atticus sighed, "we aren't going to be late, trust me guys."

soon the teens arrived to the school parking lot, Eden and demetri being the first to get out of the vehicle making their way to the entry door, the first bell ringed which indicated them to head to class. The two made their way to their first class that they happen to share with Miguel.

Miguel waved at his friends, "hey guys." Eden greeted the boy back. She took her seat next to demetri getting out her notes from the previous day.

Sam walked into class with a blow pop stuck on her sweater making the students in the class laugh. "Real funny." Eden muttered, not finding it funny that Sam was getting laughed at all because of a rumor. "Thanks for the blow pop, guys. Really never gets old." Sam said removing the blow pop from her purple sweater.

Demetri turned to look at his friend, "it's cause she gives blow jobs. Get it? "Blow pop." "Blow..job." He explained.

Eden furrowed her brows, "yeah. I get it. But it's just a rumor." She defended turning back to her notes. "Hey, everybody. Who let the pigs out?" The teacher joked.

He looked around to see that no one laughed at his joke, "i did, because i ordered the fetal pigs." He followed up. "But seriously, get in your groups."

Demetri and Eden were already sitting together since they were partners, "Miguel, you wanna join our group?" Demetri asked making room for the boy to pull up a chair. Miguel nodded pulling his chair in beside Eden.

"Who wants to take Samantha in? This little piggy needs a group." No one spoke up, demetri took a look around no one had their hands up. "Don't all volunteer at once."

Miguel sighed raising his hand up, "we'll take her." Demetri shared a look with Eden before putting his head down. Samantha started walking over to the group bumping into demetri's shoulder in the process, she proceeded to pull in a chair beside Miguel bringing along her notes.

"Thank you." Sam said taking a seat, "no problem." Miguel told her.

When the teacher passed the fatal pigs Eden looked at it in a bit of disgust. she took the instructions reading them out loud for the group to hear while Miguel examined the pig. "What were you thinking for sex?" Sam asked Miguel who had a shocked face.

Eden shared a shocked face along with demetri who turned to look at sam. "Uh..uh.. i mean, I've I've..." he stuttered.

"Because Eden read out that, in the male this tract opens up near the umbilical cord." Miguel exhaled in relief. "So i think ours is female." Sam finished.

"Yeah, i concur." Miguel said.

"No, yeah we agree too. Right Eden?" The girl got out of her trance looking at demetri, "yeah, yeah. I agree too." Sam gave her a quick smile looking back at Miguel. It got a bit awkward for the group since demetri and Eden were figuring their part and Sam was trying to make a conversation with Miguel.

"Thanks for, um..helping me out, by the way" Miguel looked at her, "oh yeah. I mean, im sure you would've found another group. And your friends with Eden so I thought you'd love to be in our group." Sam nodded before adding, "i mean with the fight."

"Oh." He shrugged his shoulders, "yeah, someone had to take care of those assholes."

"But nobody else did." She made eyes at Miguel who soon turned to his notes. Sam stuck her hand into her backpack pulling out a banana, "do you guys want a banana? People keep sneaking them in my bag. It's because of that stupid rumor that im sure you have heard about me."

"Oh, no" Eden and Miguel said in sync, demetri on the other hand. "Yes." Eden bumped his shoulder telling him to be quiet. "Stupid, stupid rumors. Hurtful lies. People are monsters." Eden shook her head at her friend trying to cover up.

"Yeah, you shouldn't worry about it. Those guys are assholes to us too. I mean, they call me "'Rhea," so.." Miguel said looking down.

"Not anymore, did you not see how you beat the shit of of Kyler." Eden said. Miguel instantly smiled, "yeah, i guess you're right, i did beat the shit out of him." Eden brought her hand up for Miguel to high-five, the pair let out a laugh.

"After school Eli coming with me to the dojo, you need a ride?" Eden offered Miguel a ride to her uncle's dojo since she wanted to get to know the boy a bit. "Uh..yeah sure. I don't mind." The boy nervously smiled. "Great, meet us after school in the parking lot." Soon the bell ringed.

EDEN AND ELI WERE WAITING FOR MIGUEL NEAR ATTICUS'S CAR, "there he is." Eli pointed towards the school entry way, he waved Miguel down getting his attention. "Over here!" Eden yelled. Miguel made his way towards his friends, "sorry, Sam stopped me on my way here she needed the homework answers from yesterday."

Eden and Eli nodded getting in the car along with Miguel, "hey dude, im Atticus." He smiled. Miguel nervously smiled back, "m-miguel. Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, i know perfectly who you are." Eden slapped his arm warning him to stay quiet. "We need a ride to the dojo." Atticus nodded driving off the school grounds, "is everyone doing karate now?" He asked.

"Something like that." Eden said opening her phone up to messages, she texted demetri to ask him if he was going to the karate lessons for today for which he denied. "Demetri isn't coming." Atticus soon pulled into the dojo's parking lot, "alright, call me when you get out." Eden nodded getting out of the car.

"Thanks for the ride man!" Miguel said closing the car door, the three walked into the dojo seeing Aisha who was already in her gi. "Hey, Eden. Since when did miguel and you come together to class?" She teased.

"What? No, no, i just offered him a ride. That's it." Aisha raised a brow, "ok, whatever you say. Go get your gi on sensei Lawrence is about to start class."

Once eden came out of the restroom with her gi on she took her gym bag and placed it on the floor, "ok, everybody. Fall in." Johnny said as he walked out of his office. He took a look around to see that a few of his students were missing. "Where is everyone?"

"Crater face? Nose ring? Slingshot?" He named a couple of the student, "they quit, sensei." Miguel said.

Johnny looked disappointed, "are you serious?" He looked at the remaining students he had and made an example out of it. "I mean, good. That was a test. I wanted to see who the quitters are. Not you guys. You're in it to win it, right?" The students just stared at johnny.

"You could be home playing your icomputers, playing your video games, eating candy. Instead, you're here, doing pushups, learning how to fight." Eden cringed at his millennial vocabulary. Johnny pointed towards her friend Eli, "lip. Look. Even lip's tougher than those guys." The boy is shocked to be called out.

"He's no quitter."

the boy looked at johnny, "could you please not call me that?" His eyes shifted around. "Excuse me, what?" Johnny questioned.

"Could you please not call me that." He said again being a bit more clear. "Um, I'll warm 'em up, sensei." Miguel says interrupting the conversation.

"No, lip has something he wants to say. Sorry, speak up, lip. Or is your tongue messed up too? Are you one of those challenged kids?' He questioned the boy who continued with the conversation, "um, the doctor said i could be on the spectrum."

Johnny looked confused by the wording, "I don't know what that is, but get off it pronto. All right?" Eden sighed as she looked at her uncle arguing with a teenager. "If you don't want me to call you "lip," don't have a weird lip. Can't you get surgery?"

"I was born with a cleft lip. This is the scar from the surgery." He informed johnny who clearly didn't get the memo. "You mean it was worse before that? Or did the doctor just screw up? Because if this is the after photo, that sucks, man. You should sue."

"Can we just please just change the topic, miguel can warm the group up?" She questioned wanting to move on, she didn't want another one of her friends not wanting to come to class because of johnny. "Eden, you don't think i want to? Look its right in front of me." He turned to look at Eli, "you wanna be something other than a nerd with a scar on his lip, you gotta flip the script. Ok?"

"Get a face tattoo or gouge your eye out. We'll call you patch, all right. No, don't do that one. You'll still look like a freak." Eden had enough of hearing the insults so she walked up to Eli and took his hand, "ok, thats enough we're leaving." She took Eli's stuff along with hers and walked out of the class.

She called Atticus to give them a ride home, "I apologize for his actions, he just doesn't know when to stop talking." Eli looked a bit sad but smiled when Eden offered him a snack she had in her backpack from earlier today. They sat out in the bench patiently waiting for their ride.
