Andre: There was no need for you to run off, Halika.
Halika: You're right. I'm sorry. I was childish and selfish. -looks down at her hands-
Dez: -eyebrows are scrunched now in confusion-
Andre: Alright then. It's settled. You're kicked out of 5 a.m training.
Halika: -immediately looks up at him- WHAT?!
Dez: That isn't fair!
Austin: That makes no sense.
Dez: You don't even know why she was up there in the first place!
Andre: Do I need any reasons?
Dez: -throws his arms in the air- Yes!
Andre: -looks over at Halika: Halika?
Halika: I was up there because I can't stand Pan.
Dez: That's not even all of it, but that's a valid reason.
Austin: What'd her ever do to you?
Halika: -turns and looks at her, sending her an icy glare-
Halika: Who's my best friend?
Austin: Dez.
Halika: What happened to Dez?
Austin: He got beat up.
Halika: How many times?
Austin: 2.
Halika: And by whom?
Austin: Pan...
Halika: Now guess what?
Austin: -stays silent-
Halika: No reply? Fine. That's AFTER you newbies started squatting here. -looks at Andre- Andre, how many times did we come here for Dez?
Andre.: More that 10 times, or something.
Halika: -looks at Dez- Where's that scar?
Dez: On my shoulder.
Halika: And the other one?
Dez: On my stomach.
Austin: So?? You're point is?
Dez: Who's side are you on?
Austin: Certainly not yours.
Dez: Then quit talking. -crosses his arms-
Halika: -faces Andre- Andre, please.
Dez: I get that kicking Pan out makes sense. 6 became 5. But what'd Halika ever do wrong?
Andre: -looks at Austin, then at Dez and Halika- Fine. I'll give you 3 more days. No more, no less. Understand?
Dez: -sighs- Yessir.
Halika: Thank you.
Austin: -shakes her head and pushes passed them, leaving-
~Lunch~
Red: -takes a sip of his Dr. Pepper, notices Halika-
Halika: -sits beside Dez-
Chassity: Gawd, Hali.
Red: -sighs-
Halika: Sorry...
Red: You freaked us out. You know? We--
-Austin plops down in an empty seat at their table, everyone looks at her-
