With swollen lips. “What’s that fool babblin’ about?” Urjohar muttered. “Crazy guy, Ayihcah.”

  Ben Krow squinted his eyes, turning to Cherry, he asked, “that’s really Otie Ayihcah?”

  “Yep!” Cherry sparkled in glee, a smile so bright it made Krow’s stomach turn.

  “More and more of them keep showing up,” Nautilus said, wiping his forehead.

  “Isn’t some highway up there?” Horst asked. “Why do you gotta come from there of all places?”

  “Hihihi…let me tell ya!” Envisioning the winds picking at his wheels, the shift of weight, the sprawling streets, the zipping between cars, the absolute rush of skating through chaos. “Well, I was so heated…that I just took the highway.”

  “Damn poser!” Eurig said, following behind. “He got stuck at Park’s exit, so we just kept going.”

  “Ya really gotta snitch all the time!”

  Urjohar looked down at his feet, the last time he and Eurig interacted was left on a sour note. Urjohar couldn’t bear to look Eurig in the eyes, not even that, he couldn’t even look at him in general.

  “Get down already, Oti,” Eurig said.

  “Aight.”

  Get down? From there? That’s at least ten meters high. Don’t tell me, he’s gonna… Walli thought before he saw the act unfold. Otie leaped, kick flipping mid air, landing flat onto the wheels without so much as thud. Dust settled.

  “Hiyo, I’m Otie Ayihcah, you can just call me Otie.” None were too happy with the dust he kicked up, as most were coughing; added annoyance due to his introduction. “Hey, looks like this time everyone’s here. Welcome to the class meeting!!”

  “Ya! Let’s celebrate!” Fester said with a handful of glitter from their glitter pocket. Twirling they let the glitter make a rainbow.

  Nautilus looked parched.

  Who the hell is this guy! Walli thought.

  Otie went around giving everyone a greeting, patting Urjohar’s shoulder with a cheeky grin.

  “Hah, you look like shit…,” Eurig said to Urjohar.

  “…”

  “Cheeeerrrry!!!” Otie skipped to give her a hug.

  Eurig opened a package of tissues, “come’ere.”

  “Erg…”

  “Even for me, it’s too much,” Eurig said, trying to clean up Urjohar. Urjohar wasn’t having it however, avoiding Eurig’s helpful hands.

  “Cherry,” Otie said with loving eyes. “I’m relieved you're alright.”

  “Ayihcah…”

  Fester gave an alien pout, soured lips were not enjoying the fuzzies that were happening feet away from them. Whilst Cherry was blushing, Ben Krow walked over to interrupt.

  “Otie Ayihcah.”

  “Woah, who’s this dude?” Otie asked with a dumb face.

  “You remember me?”

  A serious glare parted the two. “Should I?”

  “Haha, what about this knife?” Krow pulled out an ornate knife made of gold and silver. “Jaromir!”
