Chapter 1

Just a weird story about Metis and Josh. I had time to kill... Review if you have any opinions or suggestions for a story, or the plot~

It was a hot day, and Metis really didn't want to participate in PE. Unfortunately, it was the day of the running test, and he couldn't make it up later. (I hate those... But i hate PE...) So, rather than sitting in the grass, he would have to run today. In the hot sun... With a bunch of other people...

"Man, it's so hot out..." Metis whined, brushing his sweat drenched bangs out of his pale, yet tanned face.

"Hot? You think this is hot? Watch it get like 100 and something degrees soon; now that's hot." Charles said.

"It probably is already like a hundred degrees... And it smells." Metis complained, as he sniffed the stale, clearly BO scented air of the school grounds. "Why do we have to run around the whole school, anyway? Can't we just run inside?"

"Dunno. Maybe they're having a tea party or something. With all of their dainty staff, dressed to have teatime with her lady, the grand duchess Miss Principal the forty somethingeth." Charles joked.

"..." Metis didn't laugh.

"We should hurry, though. Seriously. Last place has to hike in the woods later, and it'll probably be even hotter out there." Charles said

"Which place are at we right now?"

"Second to last... and last." Charles said after some thought.

"Shit... I don't see anyone."

"I'm gonna run on ahead, then. Kay, Bye~" Charles shouted, waving shortly before speeding off; his tongue stuck out to run it in Metis' face

Metis whined, "I give up; I'm never gonna make it. What's the point?"

~Time skip~

"Charles, nice of you to show up... And where's Metis?" The coach asked

"Dunno, I ran ahead to find you guys." Charles shrugged

"Mmm-hmm. Looks like we have our hiker" The coach responded, noticing Metis approaching them. "Metis, you're running later."

Metis let out a sigh in between gasps. He swatted the air to show he understood. As if speaking would help him now.

~Time skip~

"Well, what did you expect? He's not the most understanding person." Josh said casually.

Metis glared at Josh, "Have you ever seen me hike? No, I don't do sports; especially in the hot weather. Maybe walking around a few miles to get home, but that sucks too."

Josh shook his head, "just give it a try, k?"

"...Fine" Metis sighed in exasperation.

Josh chuckled, "You'll be fine." He said as he sat his hand on Metis's shoulder.
