Chapter 4- A few more additions



After the day ended, Pauling started to walk home. She noticed Jeremy slightly behind her, "Heyyy, did I tell you how cool you look today? The purple really looks nice on you." Pauling looked at him and smiled awkwardly, "Thanks, I wear purple almost everyday." Jeremy nodded and chuckled, "That just means you look really nice everyday. Not that- I don't like to watch you everyday! That's something Spy would do. Well- He wouldnt watch you I mean- He's just really creepy in general-"


Pauling cut him off, "Oh look we're almost at my house." She could see it a block away.


"GAh!" Jeremy whined, he looked around, "What the hell?"


"Is it Spy?" Pauling cocked her head. "Nah, Spy doesn't throw rocks..." Jeremy replied,


"Did'ja Just call me Spy?" A head poked out from the leaves in a tree, "Im not a Spy Im a profe-AH!" Jeremy jumped up and shook the branches causing the kid to fall out of the tree. He looked to be a year older than Pauling, "Are you a seventh grader?" Pauling folded her arms, "and what are you doing in a tree?"


The boy responded in a australian accent, "Yes I'm a seventh grader, and It's nun'ya business. I can do wot I want." He then looked around, "Wot are you two doing?"


"Now dats none of your business!" Jeremy retorted, Pauling helped the Aussie get off the ground, "Actually I'm making a team, to play games... Well, They're going to be kinda dangerous I think, But we might need someone like you."


He smiled "You really think I would be useful?"


Pauling nodded, "If you want to come over, maybe tell your parents first, here." pauling handed him a slip of paper, "This is my address, We're going to meet today, well Me and Jeremy are going to my house right now. Uh, yeah! Oh and What's your name?" he smiled, "Call me Mundy." Jeremy laughed in response, getting another rock to the head, "Ow! Stop doing that! I'm not a target!" Jeremy grumbled, continuing to walk with pauling.


Dell and Ash met up, "Well partner come along let's go find Ludwig, I'm pretty sure he's bird watching. I don't know where that club meets... Uh Ahm sure we'll figure it out."


They started walking to the forest, Dell was pretty sure he'd be in here. "Luddy! Ludwig Are ya here?"


"Ja!" The tall german popped out of a bush and in front of dell causing him to jump and fall on top of Ash who mumbled in annoyance. "Dag nabit!" he stood up, "Luddy don't do that! Where's... Where's the rest of your club?"


Ludwig shrugged, " Ze bird watching club doesn't have lots of people in it. It's just me and 3 others."


Ash helped Dell up, "Wait so no teacher?"


" It's not really a club either. It's just me watching birds. 2 of ze members are birds."


Dell nodded, "Well, Uh I was wondering if you'd like to join me and Ash. We're doing this thing for my friend."


Ludvig nodded, he went back into the bush then came out with a white backpack, sewn onto it were little red crosses. "Vell I'd love to join you. Archimedes!" A white bird flew and landed on his shoulder, "Now, do you think I could bring another along?"


Dell shrugged, "Sure"


When Pauling entered she saw Jane, Spy, and tavish there sitting and talking to Helen.


"Hi, Administrator! Hi spy, hi demo, hi soldier." Pauling smiled. Jeremy rolled his eyes when he saw Spy, Pauling gave him a seat and they all sat at the table. "Pauling, there should be another person or two arriving soon." Helen said with a cold hiss, "Oh yes I know! I also Invited someone else, his name is Mundy."


Spy groaned, "Ugh, that repulsive bushman! Why did you invite him? He always smells like piss." Helen stopped Pauling before she could talk, "We need as many people as we can get."


With that there was some knocking at the door.


Pauling went and got it, "oh... Who are you four?"


Dell smiled, "Mah names Dell! Helen told me to come here."


Ludwig spoke, "Ja and I joined because I have nothing better to do.- Wha- no archimedes you mean alot but I wanted to do something else, Of course archimedes."


A very large boy with dark hair smiled and waved, " I am Mikhail, You can call me Misha."


Pauling looked unsure but smiled, "Oh come in then." Ash muffled something and walked to the table area.


When Spy saw Dell he stood up, "There is no way I'm going to be in this team if I have to see his face."


Dell huffed, "You see my face everyday anyways! We're in a class with each other." Spy jeered, "Laborer, at least in class where you sit you're so short I barely see your face. How dare you dirty my suit and think we can be friends. I could barely think of a reason for anyone to like you. Besides maybe for your father's money. You'll never understand love while you waste away shoveling cow manure." Dell chuckled, slightly hurt but not showing it, "How long did it take for you to come up with that whole monologue? Pfft- You act as if you didn' threaten me with a twig. What would that have done?" "Oh I will show you!"


Ludwig held Dell back while Misha prevented Spy from actually attacking. Ash chanted something while pumping their fists up and down, Dell looked at them, "We ain't doing no 'Agni Kai' because that's from a show, it aint real. We can't bend fire" Ash nodded hiding his lighter behind his back


Helen cackled, "What a great display. Now sit down. We have things to discuss, and I won't wait any longer." Dell was forced to sit next to Spy, both of them scooting a bit further away from each other.


Mundy entered seeing the door was unlocked, All 8 of the others looked at him.


"Wow... This really is a team."


Ludwig smiled brightly, "My OTHER member of the bird watching club!" Mundy smiled, "Oi luddy!"


Ludwig paused, "Wait, why didn't you come?" Jeremy whispered a "that's what she said" and got smacked on the back of the head by the german. Mundy shrugged, "Sorry mate, I was trying to get sir hoots out of a tree." Ludwig sighed and nodded. Mundy stood instead of sitting because there weren't any more chairs.


Helen gave the aussie her seat. Only so she could be taller than the others.


"How do we begin..."
