Welcome!” His accent is strong and it’s not a very professional greeting at all. “What brings a pretty little thing like you into a dirty place like this?” He smiles charismatically, wiping his dirty hands on an equally dirty cloth. This one’s probably my customer.” They heckle him a bit but do get back to what they were doing before, and Antonio walks through the door to greet her in the office. She’s probably here to pick up the car he’s been working on, considering how fancy it was as well. “Alright alright, everyone calm down. No wonder they are getting all excited, he can’t help but get a little that way himself, smiling as she passes by and into the office part of the shop. Much fancier than anyone he’s seen around these streets. He can’t quite see through the others who are starting to crowd around the entrance, so he makes his way over. The other guys in the shop start making a ruckus about something, and Antonio leans up out of the car he’s working on to see what it’s about. Not long after Ian had set Luke down in a chair, James Caddick, otherwise known as Caddicarus or Caddy, had shown up alone.
He told the rest for half of them to meet him and Luke in the club room while the other half met at the soccer field. He texted the Hidden Block group chat on his phone on the way there. Ian helped Luke up again and held onto him as he took him to the club room. Jeff nodded and mouthed back that he was taking PBG to the soccer field. Ian mouthed 'I'm taking him to the club room’ at Jeff while pointing at Luke. Ian and Jeff looked at each other with a knowing look. That's what it clicked that something wasn't right.
The moment they stood up and took one singular step they fell again. They helped each of them up, and the fallen assured the others they were ok. Each conversation was cut short however when both Luke and PBG's knees suddenly gave out and they fell to the floor. They turned back to their walking partners and continued their conversations. PBG hesitated before smiling and waving back. A pink shade spread to each gamer's cheeks as Luke smiled at PBG that adorable signature smile and waved at him. They've made eye contact before, but nothing like this. For whatever reason this connection felt.different. As the two duos passed each other, both PBG and Luke made eye contact. They were both also members of Hidden Block. Just as they had stepped right in front of the door, Ian Macleod or Brutalmoose, and Luke Sizemore or Yungtown, had both left the room side by side. Jeff and PBG were walking down the hallway probably discussing some video game or something to do with soccer when they started to get close to a classroom.
But all of that would soon change one Wednesday afternoon. Normalboots knew Jeff and Austin were on the same soccer team, but had no idea how close the two really were. Because of this friendship he got to know the other members. Austin Hargrave, otherwise known as Peanutbuttergamer, or PBG, had become good friends with Hidden Block member Jeff Fabre, aka SpaceHamster, due to being on the same soccer team. Well, not every Normalboots member despised them. Normalboots despised them as soon as they stared stepping onto their turf and challenging them on their video game winning streak. There was Normalboots, the rich uptown boys that everyone knew, and then there was Hidden Block, the poor downtown men that hardly anyone had heard of. At Asagao Academy however, there were two main cliques in the school. You have the theatre kids, the band kids, the jocks, the nerds, your typical stuff. There's always groups of kids with similar personalities that always hang with each other and make sure not to hang with any group different than them.
