WHOOOO ME?
Jack jumped a bit, a little startled by the audible thud. Jack crossed his arms and remained silent. "Pfft, progress..." he thought as he rolled his eyes. With a moment of silence from Asher, Jack used that time to ignore Ash and lay on his bed and scroll through his phone. But this brief moment of silence was interrupted by the sounds of someone meddling with the lock to his door. Before Jack could react, his door swung. "What the-?" Jack said as he jumped up and now sat up defensively in his bed. "How did you?-...."
Jack was astonished that this boy was now standing in the doorway to his room despite him having clearly locked the door. He didn't have time to think about how Asher got into his room though, as Asher now spoke face to face with the boy, a door no longer dividing them. At first, it was pure surprise which morphed into irritation at the fact that Asher was now in his room, invading his privacy. But as the slightly older boy spoke, Jack lowered his guard a bit. At first, Jack rolled his eyes at Asher's tirade about letting people into his life, but once he learned that Asher was looking into way to repair his hockey stick, he gulped as he felt a lump form in this throat.
Jack's eyes were wide with surprise. He couldn't believe this was happening. The brown haired boy put his phone down on his night stand and slowly stood up, leaning a bit on his bed. He turned to face Asher directly. The boy frowned as he closed his eyes and shook his head from side to side, holding a hand out and making a sweeping motion, "Y- you don't have to do this," he said turning away the teddy bear. "Y- you've made your point, k- keep the bear... .and don't worry about fixing the stick... these things happen..."
He then looked directly into Asher's eyes, "Th- thanks..." he said softly, expressing his gratitude not only for the boy letting him watch the hockey game on the TV, but for all that he had offered to do. Jack sat in silence for a bit, thinking about all that Asher had said to him. He wanted to smile at the fact that he would be getting to watch his hockey game tonight, but also couldn't bring himself to do so as now HE felt bad for Asher. Jack hoped that the boy would not be adamant about fixing the hockey stick or giving him the teddy bear, as he truly didn't want to force Asher to pay for the stick and give up the only thing that reminded him of home for a while.

Felix's expression seemed pretty unconvinced at the whole 'right person will get punished' part of Nathan's reply, he'd heard that said before and it didn't turn out to be true. Yet still he did appreciate the other boy's support. A much brighter expression as Nate also got onto the bandwagon calling Asher a jerk now, in addition to his previous poophead comment. "Been rough on you too?" Felix commented to Nate as the trio reached the rec room.
Yet as Nate said 'ladies first' Felix paused with a 'challenge accepted' expression - as he awaited Dez' to head inside first, before gently trying to nudge Nate to make him stumble on in ahead of him with a playful smirk on his face.
Once the group made their way inside the Rec room, they were immediately met with Asher walking straight towards them. Felix' clenching his fist. His body language stiffening, like a deer in the headlights as he mentally himself ready for round two! ...Yet as he merely said 'excuse me' and rushed past Felix just kinda stood there confused, his body still in fight mode yet now there wasn't anything to fight. Felix looking back at the stairwell and him walking off, then back to Nate, then to Dez' then to the staircase with a super confused expression before he relaxed. Something wasn't right; even Felix who was pretty bad at reading people could tell something was wrong with the Jerkface.
Once it was clear however that the danger had passed Felix just kinda looked back at Nathan and Dez'; letting the later go and grab herself some pancakes while he took Nathan to go sit down at one of the dining room tables. Felix hopping himself up on the seat, half-sat on one leg with the other resting atop and dangling over the edge of the chair. As normal Felix' feet not really able to comfortably touch the floor flat unless he actively sat on the edge the chair. Not that he ever really thought about that before, instead finding it more comfortable anyway to sit like this. He set down his skates, helmet and the pads carried inside them on an unoccupied seat besides himself.
"...I was so sure he was gonna start something again." Felix commented aloud with a sigh of relief, drawing his phone from his pocket as he spoke. (if anybody peered at it they'd see the lock screen having a photo of himself mid-backflip out of a bowl at a skatepark) "Maybe Dez' really is actual bully-deterrent." He continued joking, as he briefly looked back at the older teen grabbing pancakes. Felix looking a lot less shaken up, now Asher was upstairs far away from here.

WHOOOO ME?
Jack shook his head from side to side and closed his eyes, "N- no no, what you're saying right now is enough assurance that you are actually gonna fix the stick," he said as he stopped shaking his head no, "And I mean it," he said smiling a bit, "hockey sticks get worn out all the time, don't waste your money, it's just gonna get worn out anyways from years of playing with it." Jack paused for a second, surprised he was even talking this much to the other boy.
Jack noticed the boy analyzing him, he just figured that Asher was looking to see Jack's facial expression to make sure that he wasn't angry at him. When Asher playfully "threatened" to buy him a new hockey stick if he wouldn't let him fix it, Jack put his arms up defensively and leaned forward a bit in Asher's direction, "N- no! You don't need to do that!" he said a little loudly. Jack chuckled a bit about the joke about him being so stubborn. Jack remembered his parents always told him how stubborn he was when they were still alive, and sometimes even friends and coaches said so too. Jack was now convinced Asher wasn't here to get anything out of Jack, nor to prank him, or here with any ulterior motive. "God damn it Jack," he yelled at himself in his head, "why are you being so nice to this kid? He just bullied you! Just get him out of your hair and don't talk to anyone, you're not here to make any new friends." Jack debated with himself internally. Yes, he felt a bit bad for Asher, and yes he truly didn't want him to go through all the trouble of repairing his. stick or even worse, buying a whole new one for $300 +, but Jack never had any intentions talking to anyone nor making new friends when he arrived at the home. He was a lone wolf, and he liked it that way. Jack, not wanting to be mean, was kind to Asher, but in the back of his mind he debated whether he really wanted to form a friendship with him, or anyone for that matter. Jack cracked a small smile at Asher hoping to let the boy know he was being genuine.

Jack was conflicted. He clearly saw that the boy had a genuine change of heart, but Jack on the other hand had no desire to make friends with anyone, not even Asher despite his sudden friendliness. "L- listen..." Jack began, struggling to find the right things to say, "I-...." he shook his head and closed his eyes before he got out his sentence, "It's fine..." he said softly. Jack didn't directly want to tell him that he would prefer to never talk to him, or anyone, again. But Jack questioned himself, "Do you REALLY wanna just not ever talk to this kid again? He seems kinda nice if you actually get to know him," he thought to himself in his head. He decided that was something to think on and decide on later. Jack didn't know whether or not he wanted to cut all ties with Asher or maybe keep just Asher as an acquaintance while avoiding all of the other kids. He knew that he was dead-set on avoiding all of the other kids, but maybe, he thought, he wouldn't have to go out of his way to avoid Ash. Maybe having just ONE acquaintance in the house wasn't so bad.
Jack noticed Asher kind of just standing there. He saw the boy lean on his doorframe and go silent. It almost looked as if the boy was weak in the knees, and kind of struggling to stay standing. Jack looked at him confused and slightly concerned as he tilted his head inquisitively, "A- are you ok there?" Jack asked. Jack wondered what the boy was thinking about, Ash seemed lost in his thoughts. He saw the boy kind of looking him up and down, wondering what that was all about. Jack made note of his deep breathing, wondering what was wrong with the kid.

Felix shrugged a bit as Nathan replied on the comment of Asher. "Well good. Kinda deserves it if he's been bullying everyone." Felix's reply hiding none of his animosity, though Nathan couldn't make out the tone his expression likely conveyed how cold he was in saying that. Asher was very fixedly an enemy now, and so he had no 'fudge' or sympathy to give. Still Felix didn't seem to pay it might mind as the two boys chatted, smiling as Nate laughed in reply to the jokes.
Felix looked back and was immediately thrown off as he heard the camera, a confused expression all over his face before he saw Nathan's phone slid across the table. Felix let out a small laugh again as he picked up the phone and began to input his number, briefly pausing to take a look at the photo taken of him and subconsciously flicking his hair a bit, getting it back to its same messy-styled state. "Haha, you actually took a really good photo." Approving of the picture, he quickly sent himself a quick text message from Nathan's number so he could save him on his own contacts. "
"Before handing the phone back across the table.Felix's own phone playing a quick chirpy alert as the message arrives and adding Nate back to his contacts, taking a non-surprise photo of Nate back in the process giving him a brief second to try and pose. "Say cheese!" Felix briefly turning the phone and showing the photo to Nathan, before saving it alongside the contact on the tables surface.
Felix laughed again at getting asked the question "So you like skating?" He made no attempts to hide his passion, carrying around them everywhere but Nate opening the door did seem to put a more visible smile on his face. "Yep you could say so.." Felix replied still laughing as he lifting up one of the skates from the chair besides himself, and pulling out the wrist-guard stuffed inside the boot, setting that back down besides him. He put the skate down on the the table to let Nate see it, as Felix held it upright. It gave a bit of a thud as it was sent down clearly having a bit of weight to it not being a cheap pair, and the custom-added heavy-duty wheels briefly flickered with a flash of white LED lights for a second as the wheels made contact with the table.
Felix then pausing just a moment to then show his phone's lock screen across the table to Nathan, though flicking away notifications to get a good view of the picture. "So yeah, you could defiantly say that. This is me coming up and into a backflip out of a bowl back home." He loved this picture, so rare to get a good photo of him mid-flip like this - normally they get all blurred.
"I got more photos and some videos, if you wanna see?" Felix offered, making a motion to the other empty seat besides himself if Nathan wanted to come over and sit besides him.

Felix couldn't help but just laugh as he spoke with Nate, the other kid being pretty funny even if it still seemed off that he only used an Ipad to talk - mute maybe? Felix didn't really care either way. Smiling to himself a bit as Nathan span some of the wheels on the skates, the LEDs in the wheels lighting up as they were spun. Were the lights, and glow-in-the-dark laces necessary, no - but they were cool at least to Felix, and hey at least he would be visible if skating after dark.
Felix burst out laughing at Nate's reaction to seeing the picture. "It's not actually that hard, a little scary at first maybe but it just took a whole bunch of practice. ..And a bunch of bruises!"
Once Nathan popped up on the other side and got himself comfortable Felix unlocked his phone and opened the app he and his friends used to record to. Beginning to show off a bunch of pictures, some just of Felix posing at the skatepark or looking like a goof, one of him standing atop a fence holding onto his friends arm for balance as he got ready to jump off and do a trick, one with him wiped out face first on the ground unharmed and giving a thumbs up to his friend.
"Oh this is my friend Cayleb. We'd hang out every day skating back home." Then Felix brought up a video of him and his friend joking around behind one of their houses, Felix climbing up with his skates on, up onto the roof of his friend's shed - and then skating off it and onto a cheap skate ramp made of 2x4's in the yard bellow. Cayleb's mum yelling out the window at the pair worried, but them just kinda laughing it off. Felix's expression during the video friendly turning to a bit of a sadder smile, worried about possibly not getting to go home but he tried to shake it off.
Felix then continued scrolling through a few more video clips, most of them of small tricks and stunts like a quick drop into the bowl with a 360 spin out, Felix skating backwards and then continuing down a set of outdoor set of stair, to the next series of clips. Felix showing off to the camera, showing his footwork and balance while demonstrating a variety of grinds down a bar or railing at a skatepark - going forwards, skating backwards, crossing his feet along the bar, switching his lead foot, sometimes comboing the tricks all before frequently jumping off the rail at the end. Nate obviously not know the names for any of the tricks but Felix had fun rewatching, and more precisely watching his new friends reactions. "So what you'd think? Still think it's just scary..? He asked Nate jokingly but with a proud expression, giving him time to respond, before adding "I've even got a couple of clips on here of me going to compete. If you wanna see?" Felix clearly happy to just keep showing more photos and clips.

Jack smiled, holding back a little chuckle, "Sure, I wont tell anyone. My lips are sealed." He made a zipping and locking motion with his hand near his lips. Jack gave him a little nod of respect. "And thanks," he said, "I'll be sure to tune in tonight." With that, Asher gathered his lock picks and left the room. Jack got up and closed the door to his room slowly and sat back down on his bed and sighed. He truly had no intentions of being an asshole and telling anyone about the deep secrets that Asher had just revealed to him. The boy sat and thought about what had just went down. "Damn it," he thought to himself, "look at you talking to people, cut that crap out." He just closed his eyes and slowly shook his head. For now, Asher was just n acquaintance, one that he didn't necessarily need to fear or go out of his way to avoid. Jack did however make a mental note to himself to try much harder to avoid the others as to prevent another situation like this from ever happening. Jack reminded himself that he was NOT here to make new friends.

Felix burst out laughing as Nathan called him insane for his skating. That was not the first time he'd heard someone say that after watching him do or propose some trick or stunt and it'd be pretty clear to the other boy that Felix defiantly took it as a compliment. It's what Felix loved, pushing the boundaries as far as he could, doing more and more risky stunts, no matter how scary they might seem. "If you've never tried something, how you gonna know your bad at it -And even if you are, you can always get better?" Felix said giving an encouraging pat on Nate's back. Felix wasn't trying to pressure Nathan or convince him to do anything but just- eh Felix loved trying new scary stuff the idea of turning away from that seemed boring to him.
"But glad you think my tricks are cool - yeah, I've competed a few months back I completed in a local under 12's contest, this was before my birthday and then also a separate under big 16t's skate-off." Felix flicked forwards through the photos to eventually show a picture of him holding the U12 trophy, posed on stage in his full gear besides two other contestants (one of which was Cayleb he'd seen in the previous video)- everyone posing for the camera. "This is from the U12, under twelve years contest. Urm lets see, on this here was a clip of my final run, I was pretty tired at this point but well- so was everyone." Felix played a video taken from the top of one of the ramps, Felix dropping into the bowl with complete confidence and propelling himself around fast, using moves akin--to parkour at one point as he laid his hand on the top of the bowls walls and seamlessly swung his legs over from the first to the second diving straight back in with all his momentum. Felix hitting to the top of the bowl and grinding around though coming a little short of the full distance and having to dip back in. Felix's most impressive trick however came towards the end as he jumped back in and started building up as much speed as he could heading for a section where the ramp curved up to a wall, not only riding up the 7-8 foot depth of bowl but also another 5-6 feet (judging by the height of the nearby spectators) and doing a backflip as he pushed himself off the peak, somehow landing it again if a bit sketchily, skating backwards a few feet and then in a quick spin turning back the right way to go finish the run. The whole thing must have taken nearly two solid minutes, maybe a little more even of back to back tricks before Felix 's run came to an end; leaving the bowl and giving a passing high-five to what looks like another competitor and then flopping himself on the bench. "That first soul grind around the left side there should have gone soo much worst, my skate slipped and I nearly just fell in like face first." Felix commented criticising one of the parts earlier in the clip.
"I didn't do nearly as well in the U16, kinda flopped my first run and the older competitors really knew their stuff." Felix added with an awkward rub on the back of his head. "But given I can't enter the U12's now I need to keep working at it." Felix added with this competitive excitement. "I'm gonna hold off showing that flopped starting run from U16 if that's cool?" He informed Nathan, giving a slightly embarrassed laugh clearly not wanting to show his screw-ups straight after his win. "-and it's not like I skate just for the trophies anyway, I do it because it fun just gliding around and letting my body kinda like flow with it. Sometimes it's just fun to, you know- skate down to the local park, or to school since I didn't live far away, or to my friends places." He grinned, putting his phone down on the table for the moment.
"But hey..." Felix hushed his tone. "Just don't go telling the staff lady I got all these videos up." He added giving a playful nudge with his elbow, obviously neither of the boys technically old enough to be on social media, not that it really stopped a lot of kids their age.

Evelyn smiled slightly as she kept a curious ear out, listening to her explain the book. "Huh that's an interesting way to organise the narrative." Evelyn commented aloud clearly thinking about the idea of organising a narrative around pages in-narrative, of the constraints and added narrative-weight that could add if done well. "... ...Okay you sold me, I will add it to my reading list at some point." She eventually responded after a long pause.
She tilted the sketchpad further as Miyako leaned over to look at it, ensuring she could look at the image properly. "Thanks you. Though I hope it also is as sad as it is beautiful when I'm done." Nodding slightly with her own comment but appreciating the compliment of her work.
"It's not a problem, you always seem to be by yourself. Though if you would like to keep me company for a bit, I do need to check on my plants. If you want to come along, you can tell me more about that book or any other books you've been reading if you like?" Evelyn offered lowering the sketchpad and motioning the pencil in the direction of one of her large leafy plants in the corner for an example, the home having quite a lot of them the older teen cared for that in her opinion really freshened and opened the place up. Evelyn needing to check they were well watered and healthy pretty much daily, or choosing to do so at least.
Evelyn basically not registering the other kids who were excitedly chattering, or otherwise consuming pancakes in the room right now. Having just remembered that one of her plants she placed in the dormitory hallway window upstairs looked a little dry yesterday when she last checked it.

Felix let out another laugh at Nate's initial response. "Awww, but yeah okay. I get it most people aren't really up for it. Your not the only one." Felix nudging Nathan slightly with his elbow playfully, he understood rollerblading wasn't that popular anyway. There was a little disappointed in Felix sure, but he also expected it with plenty just not being up for this sorta thing. Maybe if it would be better if he first showed the less-crazy stuff first if he wanted to get people into it but, well that's not really how his adrenaline-fueled brain worked with this kind of stuff. Either way Felix seemed like he expected Nate to get scared off so no big deal.
He still got a kick out of watching Nathan's reaction to the actual tournament, seeming like he missed most of what Felix was trying to say. Not that Felix could blame him, this glued-to-the-screen, 'this is insane' reaction was exactly what he had before he got into this sorta stuff. The pro's and other contest kids always made it look so easy, but as many bumps and bruises over the years can confirm - not that easy! Just at the meets, everyone was really skilled.
There was a defiant smile and and nod to his new friend agreeing to keep the secrets of their online stuff from the management. They might figure it out anyway but lets not tell them, CPS might have a fit and force them to delete them - And that would just suck! "Deal." Then there was a pause as he listened and processed as Nate typed out to explain his condition. His expression maybe a little sad but also at the same time seeing Felix sorta admired Nathan resilience to it all. "...Huh, that kinda sucks." Felix initially responded before having a mischievous smile appear on his face. "Guess I'll just have to do this to get your attention then." Felix then proceeding to poke Nathan in the side, in a spot he was very well aware was normally ticklish on a lot of people hoping to get a reaction.
"Oooh yeah let's see." Felix very curious leaning into look at Nate's Instagram with him. Felix couldn't help but just stare at them for a moment wide eyed. "These are like- super good. Like- did you go through and set all these up, or urm, did you just like find them this way and then- snap an awesome picture." The photo's reminding Felix that he'd never gotten to try surfing before, which was definitely something to do on his bucket list. I mean its like riding water, how cool was that!? He tried to keep his attention together though and watched as the photos went through - pointing out ones he felt were particularly cool looking. Felix had no real eye for this kind of involved and themed photography, his own photos and videos of his skating kinda all being pretty standard snaps from a smartphone without any good scene composition, and some without the best lighting. "Maybe I need you to help me take some new photo's for my page?" Felix added as a bit of a half-joke, thinking how cool it'd be to have some like sunset picture of him mid-grind or something to put on there, or, or.. To be honest he had no idea what would look good!
Moments later though Felix kinda felt his stomach churn a bit, his bladder suddenly realising signals about that extra-large cup of juice he drank last night before bed finally wanting to make its way out. Felix quickly getting to his feet, his body language immediately conveying what was wrong with legs and knees buckling almost textbook as he almost bounced in place thinking. "Ahh, uh be right back! Bathroom was urm, ..right that way!" Felix rushing off to try and find and then use the toilet. He got told where they were in his way in but, uh yeah slight emergency time.

With his door all closed up, Jack sat back in his bed, exhaling as he closed his eyes. He checked the time on the digital clock on his night stand. It was still pretty early, so Jack would have to wait a little while until dinner and then the eventual hockey game which would come on at 7pm. He was thankful that the TV was essentially reserved and guaranteed for him, as he needed to wind down and destress by watching his favorite team and sport. Jack thought back on Asher's words and his actions. He couldn't help but think maybe Asher wasn't so bad, and maybe he was even a kind boy. Jack hoped he wouldn't have to be talking to anymore people today.
He took out his phone and started scrolling mindlessly, waiting for dinner. It was at dinner where Jack was going to quickly slip by everyone, get a quick bite to eat, and into the TV room he would go where hopefully no one would bug him. He hadn't gotten to watch his hockey team since he had gotten to the home, and watching the games was something he did almost every day he could back at home. He hoped by watching the game on the TV, maybe he could get a little taste of home in his new life. He sighed thinking about how much he truly missed his old life. But was a tough guy, he thought, he had no time for silly sad emotions and home sickness.
The boy got up and went to his closet. He opened it up looking for a particular article of clothing. He knew he had brought it to him to the home and was not disappointed when he found it. It was the jersey of his favorite player on his favorite NHL team, the San Jose Sharks. The jersey was a couple sizes up from Jack's actual clothing size, so the jersey always looked a bit big on him, but he didn't mind. The boy took it out of his closet, slipped it on, and smiled. He always loved wearing his jersey whenever he watched the game and cheered on his favorite team.

[Morning routines were coming to an end within the busy Santa Monica home and the many children who inhabited it began to settle into whatever activities they had for the day, Though some drama had seemed to take over the morning for some things appeared to have calmed down without any heads rolling. Which in a house full of kids and teens of various ages and backgrounds that was certainly a win. Unbeknownst to most of the home however Asher was absent without permission to be so. This of course came as no surprise to Mrs. Richardson when she discovered his absence a few minutes after he left Tho she chose not to make anything of it with the other kids not wanting to worry anyone. She knew there wasn't anything she could really do until he returned and knowing Asher she figured he didn't tell anyone where he was going so asking around was pointless.
Rest of the Afternoon passed as the kids enjoyed the first day of their last week of freedom before school would inevitably call them all back. It was now a quarter to six and the staff was busy preparing for supper to be on the table at six as it always was. An announcement rang through the speakers placed throughout the house and its exterior. "Good evening everyone Dinner will be served at six as per usual and I expect you all to be cleaned up and ready to eat at that time thank you!" Mrs. Richardson's voice was Kind but Authoritative as she gave the announcement before sending a reminder to Nathan as well via Text.]

WHOOOO ME?
Jack had been relaxing on his bed scrolling his phone for the few hours after his encounter with Asher. He jumped a little, startled by the announcement over the speakers fro Mrs. Richardson. He listened closely to her instructions as he always did whenever she had something to say to the kids. Jack was expecting the announcement. It was time for dinner. On one hand, it meant Jack would inevitably have to come into contact with, or at least come into view of some of the other kids. On the other hand, not only was Jack a bit hungry, so dinner would satisfy that hunger, but he got to look forward to watching the hockey game on the TV after dinner thanks to Asher.
The boy hopped off of his bed, checked himself in the mirror, ran his hand through his hair, and sighed. Wearing his favorite jersey, he opened the door to his room and got ready to go downstairs for dinner.

No more illusions
Felix raced a tight loop around the edge of the basketball court, dribbling the ball he just snatched back as it tried to escape. The young man enjoying the summer afternoon now turned evening by combining two of his favourite sports. He'd been playing by himself out here for the last nearly two hours, switching between free-throws, dibbling, or just doing acrobatic tricks with skates. Felix's pads having gained a extra scuff marks when he decided to practice a few cartwheel across the court in full gear. At this point though the young man was pretty lost in thought as he played, he was in the zone and his body just weaved across the court essentially on autopilot.
Felix's had really picked up quite a bit as the day progressed despite how it all started. He made a friend! Nathan who seemed funny and curious if a little-bit jumpy and panicky - like he was afraid of just a lot of stuff. Felix got it but, it wasn't something he was the best at dealing with having always been the kind of kid to headbutt his fears instead or running from them (even when those fears were bullies a head or more taller than him). Getting back from the bathroom earlier he found Nathan trying on all his skate pads- which honestly didn't look bad on him. But when Felix tried to compliment his friend his face just went all red. Felix audibly laugh to himself on the court at that thought, it was a funny sight. "Shame he seems like an indoor guy. Would've been fun to find a blader-bud as soon as I got here -and he looked good all geared up." Felix thought to himself smiling idly, though this didn't really strike him with any alarm bells or deeper thoughts. He never expected Nate to be one for blading anyway, nothing against him just most kids if they went to the parks were on scooters or the odd skateboard bros - though he doubted Nathan would even be interested in those.
Then the announcement went off overhead causing Felix to snap out of his autopiloted daze and miss his free throw as it bounced off the rim. "Served at six..? Wait-what time is it now?" Felix questioned aloud, as he idly rolled towards the ball while drawing out his phone. "Hmm.. Still got time for another few shots." Felix nodding to himself at that thought putting the phone away and snatching up the ball from the ground. He'd come inside in a bit, but not before taking a wide outside lap of the court to go in to try and rebound the ball off the backboard a few times and take a high-speed freethrow.
