All he needed to do was survive.

B. Wells stared into his enemy's eyes, hoping to catch him off guard.

But Erik Reinhart stared right back with his crazy eyebrows.

"Mr. Wells, I want to talk about what happened the other day."

"Yeah.... I'm not into that. Just wanna say,"

"I shouldn't have ran after you like that."

Wait, what?

"I took a little adrenaline and it made me hyper."

.......

How is that even possible?

"You do drugs?"

Erik laughed. "That's not a drug. It's just.... Energy?"

"You're making this up as you go along, aren't you?"

"....No..."

Suddenly, Mr. Reinhart picked up his Superman action figure and threw it at B. Wells who ducked.

"I knew you were lying!"

"You need to understand who I am!"

"Oh, I know who you are, Erik!"

"Shut u-"

"Stopza!"

Whew. That took a lot of energy out of the rapper, but he did it. He used Stopza to freeze Mr. Reinhart in place for a while.

He calmly walked out of the office and looked at the rest of the class.

"Jesse, let's go."

Josh (not Roth) stood up. "What happened in there?"

"Doesn't matter. C'mon, Jesse."

Jesse slowly got up. "Uhh..."

"Now!" He motioned.

Josh moved in front of him, and Brandon used Blizzard to freeze his feet in place, catching him off guard and causing him to fall down on the ground.

The rest of the class went wide eyed, and Jesse ran over to B. Wells and they left the chorus room and headed outside using the door next to them.

"He's still evil. Good thing that was the last class of the day. It's convenient."

"What do we do?"

"The chili bowl is tomorrow. You should come with me. And the rest of the youth group."

"But... What if my parents say no?"

"Why, are you doing something tomorrow?"

"Well... Not that I know of."

"Then you can come. You can invite Pat too. Maybe he'll want to play football."

Jesse nodded. "He might. But what if Reinhart calls our parents?"

"I blocked those numbers from his phones when he wasn't looking."

"And email?"

"Blocked."

"How?"

"I do a lot when no one's looking. Y'know what? Let's go hang out in my car while we wait for the period to end. I used Stopza on Reinhart and it won't lift for another 20-30 minutes because he couldn't block the magic. He's completely bald."

Jesse chuckled. "Thanks. For looking out for me."

"We're friends, why wouldn't I help you out?"

B. Wells and Jesse Ward snuck around to his car and got in.
