"Oh, well I'm Dylan." Dylan said with a smile. "Cool. Nice to meet you Dylan." Jeff said. "You to." Dylan said. Soon Billy came up to the group. "Hey, Jeff I see that you met Dylan." Billy said. "Yes he's very nice." Jeff said. "Billy why did our dad separate us?" Dylan asked. " I don't know but I think it was to keep us safe." Billy said. "Now that we found each other what's going to happen?" Jeff asked confused. "I don't know that either. I guess we just have to protect each other. What colour is your gems?" Jeff asked. "Mines Blue." Dylan answered." Mines red." Billy said. "That's cool. Mine I think is a rainbow type I'm not sure." Jeff said. "That's cool, I think you boys should stick together." Derek said. "That's ok with me.

"You and Jack can study with me at my house if my parents will allow it." Dylan said. "That would be good. I don't think my parents are home yet." Scott said. "Where did they go?" Dylan asked. "I think they went Florida to help my sister move in to her new house." Scott said. "Cool, is she studying down there?" Derek asked. "Yes, she's studying to be a teacher." Scott said. "Cool." Dylan said. "Let's focus on the math lesson for today and we can talk more at lunch." Derek said. Dylan and the others agreed. They started to do their math lesson. About half way through the lesson Matt and Troy tried to attack Dylan with a toy gun.Derek noticed and tackled Dylan to the ground. "Stay away from Dylan!" Derek yelled. "What's going on here?" Mr. Jackson asked. "He was pointing that gun at Dylan." Derek answered angrily. "Matt and Troy you know we don't allow guns at school." Mr. Jackson said."So." Matt said. "So put them away when you go home leave them at home don't bring them to school again or I'll get the principal to come and remove you from the class." Mr. Jackson said. "Fine I'll get you next time Dylan." Matt said walking by Dylan's desk. "Don't worry you stay with me he won't hurt you." Derek said. Dylan nodded his head and continued on this math worksheet.

"There is a big mob of cameras out in the hallway." Dylan said running out of breath. "Oh, someone famous must be here today. Like the Sheriff's son or something." Mr. Ford said. Nick gestured to Dylan. He looked surprised. "I'm sorry Dylan I didn't realize that you were his son." Mr. Ford said. "It's ok Mr. Ford as long as this is kept quiet from the other people in this class." Nick said. "Don't worry I'll keep it quiet." Mr. Ford said. Soon Derek came in he runs over to Dylan.

"So, what happened today after lunch. I saw a mob of cameras chasing someone." Scott said. Derek pointed to Dylan. "They're chasing you. How come?" Scott asked. "His dad's the Sheriff. But don't tell anyone. This stays with us." Derek said. They nodded their heads and continued to work on their project. Soon the bell rang for gym class. "Alright class before you go.

Mrs. Rogers said.

He woke up and noticed everyone around him. He also noticed that he was in the arms of Derek. "What happened?" Dylan asked looking at everyone with a concerned look on his face."You passed out but I caught you before you could fall to the ground. Are you ok?" Derek asked. "I think so." Dylan relied. "That's good well let's continue shall we." Derek said. "I think I'm going to sit out for now. But I'll be ready for the practice." Dylan said with a smile. Everyone continued to play soccer. Soon it was the end of the day and everyone went to the locker room to get ready. Billy came up to Dylan as he was getting ready for the basketball practice. "Hey, Hark you know there is a party downtown after practice. I was wondering if you would like to go to that with me and Jeff?" Billy asked. "I don't think that's a good idea for him to do that." Derek said. "Why not?" Dylan asked. "Because it's not safe for you Dyl." Derek answered. Dylan looked up to him with cute eyes. "Ok, you can go. But I have to be with you ." Derek said. "Yeah, that's fine." Dylan said. Derek smiled at Dylan and let him get ready for the practice. After that the practice was done and everyone was getting changed to go home. "Dylan I'll have Nick run home and tell your parents what we're doing so that we don't have to stop at home first." Derek said. "Ok cool, can we go know?" Dylan asked. Derek nodded his head and they all made it downtown to a local bar. They got there and found a table and sat down. "So, Dyl tell me what's been going on in your life?" Eric asked. "I don't think it's proper for you to answer that Dylan." Derek said. "Why not?" Dylan asked. "Because I just don't want you getting hurt again." Derek said. "I'm not going to get hurt I promise." Dylan said. Dylan started to tell Eric and his friends about what's happened in his life. It was almost time to go home when two thugs walked into a bar.
