Ringgggg
The bell rings to end the third period of the day, choda leaves class and heads down to lunch on the first floor coming from the second floor.
The hallway is so packed that he can barely walk causing everyone to continuously bump into eachother.
As he reaches the cafeteria he realizes how big it is suddenly letting out a sigh giving up on finding whoever is looking for him.
"Well ill see him at some p-".
"Choda!".
Running towards him was a boy around 5'3 and chubby. His body fat jiggling slightly and bowl cut shaking with each step as he reaches Choda he puts his hand on his knees gasping for air while dripping sweat everywhere.
"Yo Aston are you ok!?!?".
Choda bends down to check on the boy.
Suddenly Aston stands up straight with his hands on his hips and a smile on his sweaty face, attempting to make a heroic pose.
"Of course im ok, im the last hope of this battle... IM AERO-".
Choda quickly rushes to cover Aston's mouth with his hand. He looks around hoping nobody saw them.
He notices a group of kids staring at them.
"Hey guys dont mind him hes just being cringe on purpose".
"Cringe?".
Says Aston.
"I know you didn't call a top 5 hero all time fiction AND non-fiction cringe Choda this is the legendary Aero Guardian we're talking about here".
Aston then looks at the group of kids that are starting to walk away and whispering while looking back at him and Choda.
"Yo bro you need to chill with the superhero stuff you know people in highschool aren't book nerds". Choda said as he put his hand in Aston's hair and started messing it up.
Aston nudges Choda as he fixes his hair.
"Well they just dont have any taste im not worried about them".
"How about we get in the line and look forward like normal people".
Choda says.
"Alright well which line because im starving I think I've lost a few pounds"
Aston says holding his stomach as it growls.
Sometime later the bell rings again and everyone heads to their next class. Choda goes to the basketball court. There are around thirty other kids on the court conversing. Choda stands alone staring at the floor. Then a man blows a whistle to grab everyone's attention.
"Everyone line up by the bleachers so we can start taking role". A man appearing to be a coach yells out to the thirty or so students including Choda.
Then all the kids in the gym form a line infront of a small desk that the coach then sits at by the bleachers.
As Choda starts to move up in the line he starts to fidget, tapping his foot and pulling at the bottom of his shirt before another student behind him taps him on his shoulder.
"Yo bro is you good?".
The boy behind him says.
As choda looks to see who's behind him, he sees a boy with grey almost soulless looking eyes, his face rather slim. He had a thick maroon scar slightly to the right of his forehead down at an angle just a centimeter or two away from the inside of his right eyebrow. His hair was low almost considered buzzed on the sides and spikey on the top. He towered over Choda appearing to be around 6'3, his limbs so skinny his joints were visible.
He seemed to be standing awkwardly due to his lengthy arms and legs.
"How long you been hoopin' for bro".
Said the boy.
"I've been hooping since I was little but im just now taking it serious kinda". Choda replies.
"What you mean kinda, you either in or you out". The boy said to Choda as his facial expression shifted to a more serious tone.
"Im only here so I can get an easier way into the hero preparation class".
Choda whispers to the boy while making sure nobody else hears him.
"Oh thats sick dude me too!".
The boy started to get excited punching Choda in his shoulder playfully.
"So how you gonna get in, got a plan?".
Choda asked.
"Next come up".
The coach said while looking down checking the last name off.
The boy held Choda back and went before him.
"Watch me burnt toothpick".
Choda stares at the boy as he confidently walks past him shocked by what he just said.
The coach looks up at the boy and gives him a questionable look while staring at his scar.
"Name".
"Benji California, and while your at it write down im interested in the hero class coach".
Said the boy.
"Uh- Benji?".
The coach said seemingly shocked with his jaw dropped.
"Ill talk to the head coach next time I see him".
"And the kid behind me too I've heard he's pretty good himself".
Benji said as he pointed Choda who was standing behind him picking up spilled pencils before slipping and falling the floor.
The coach looking back and forth from Choda to Benji unsure whether hes serious or not.
"I- I'll see what I can do".
The coach then puts a star around Benji's name.
"Next!".
Choda still slipping on pencils trying to get up freezes and looks at the coach embarrassed.
