The Problem

As I go back into our group room I see that not only Horiacio and Bency are home, but now Rocco and Jack as well. Only Samuel and Quentin are still missing. They just sit here in silence. Not even Horiacio is rambling around.

Why are they quiet? Did they find out? No, president said something different. Did he tell them? He shouldn't have...

"Hi Kay...", Jack mumbles.

"Uhm, hi. Is everything fine? Where are Samuel and Quentin?", I answer. Acting as if I know nothing.

"Well...", he starts but soon is cut off by Rocco: "Yes, yes, everything is fine. Samuel is waiting for Quentin. He still has some natural science classes."

"Aha, if he thinks so...", Jack huffs, stressing the fist 'a' in his sentence.

They have kind of a weird aura, quite as if they lie to me. They definitely do. So what is now best to answer? It's not something I could ask them about, but I can't ignore it. What if they really found out who I am and just don't tell me?

"You don't have to tell me. You don't know me that long.", I tell them. As they look at me weird I add: "You're not telling me something. And I tell you not to tell mem if you don't want to." Do I really have to explain this?

"He's not that bad. He really found out...", Jack mumbles surprised kind of to himself. Now it's my part to look at him weird. I mean everyone would have noticed something is wrong in this room.

"Thanks.", Rocco says quiet and puts his head in hands. Then he sighs deeply.

I make my way to the door, they have some boy-problems and I am not someone that would most likely have the answer so that. I might even not understand what the problem is, because I don't think like a boy.

"No you can stay, we won't talk about it now anyways.", Bency says. "But we have a little problem now."

"No, there is no problem. You can solve it very easy.", Horiacio yawns sleepy. Ok, is there now a problem or not? I know you can trust Bency but if one can trust Horiacio? I mean he's hard to judge. But I'm almost sure he won't joke in this kind of situation, even though he's laying lazily on the floor, while he was very serious just a few seconds ago... He sure is hard to judge. But Quentin is way more difficult to judge than he is.

"Then spit it out, dude!", Bency yells at him.

"No.", Horiacio protests against his friend.

Bency stands up and towers dangerously over the laying Horiacio: "Now talk!" His voice sounds dark but calm. Like the calm before a storm.

"No!", Horiacio quirks and we all laugh at him. It sounded kind of like an I'll cat or some thing like that.With that Bency leaves the room. Jack, Rocco and I first all look after him, but as he doesn't come back we look at us then at Horiacio who has victoriously now spread all over the floor and sleeps soundly. How is this kid able to sleep wherever he is? Doesn't he have any problems?

Right then Bency appears again, standing in the door frame whith Horiacio's pillow in his hands. He throws it on Horiacio's head and walks over th him.

"Thanks, friend!", Horiacio mumbles in his sleep.

"No, not thanks!", he yells again. I wonder what the band below us, on floor 16, is thinking about all the yelling up here. Those poor guys... I hope they don't tell Xiang Xia!

Then Bency sits right down, on the pillow that he has thrown at Horiacio's face. The poor guy! Let the man live!

"Let me be! Let me be, I wanna sleep!", he screams and kicks his legs and arms. It's kind of cruel, but it looks so funny, I have to break in laughter in an instant. And the other two join right away, while Bency and Horiacio are still fighting. I really don't get how those guys can just be best friends while fighting like everyday...

"I know you want to sleep, but I won't let you! Not until you didn't tell us the answer to this problem!", Bency screams.

"If you hadn't been going on my nerves and would have been thinking instead, I'm sure you would have the answer already.", Horiacio mocks him and yawns dramatically for the bored effect. But Bency looks at him with his best 'if-you-don't-tell-me-I-will-kill-you' smileand the frightened Horiacio just blurts it all out: "Let Rocco visit his home for a while and we do it on our own, since Samuel, Kay, you and I don't have anything to do by now. We don't have to learn how to sew anyway. And if you still think we have to then we could do it while writing the text all together. It might even be better that way, because if more persons write it the lyrics, it'll fit better to the whole group and not only to those two who wrote it."

"Horiacio, you're a genius!", Bency smiles bright, "You may sleep now."

"Well I can't.", Horiacio answers.

"Huh? Why is that?", he asks with a devilish and knowing smirk plastered on his face.

"Because you still sit on top of me!"

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that.", Bency stands up and sits down on a chair in his near.

"I'll pack up, then.", Rocco leaves and I put my hand on his shoulder: "I wish you all the best." "Thanks."

"And? Done with the homework?", I ask and sit myself down on some stool as well.

"Ah, no, not yet.", Bency replies.

"And I didn't even start...", Jack huffs.

"Me too."

"What? You were gone for so long!", Bency wonders.

Uh yes that's right... I was with the boss and his family. Well, I'm no stupid enough to tell him that. Then there would be too many questions, like: 'Why?' 'What did you talk about?' What should I answer then? 'We talked about me being a girl and not having signed all the contracts.'? Not for real. I'm not stupid.

"I was hearing some music and thought about the day. After the drama in school today I had to rest a little.", I respond half truthfully.

"Aha, what has happened?", Jack asks.

"Nothing, it's fine."

"But you're right with letting the homework slip for music!", Horiacio jokes. Ah so he's awake!

"Yes, let's just accidentally all forget homework.", Jack cheers.

"I think I have to count the lazy people here new! Go, get your school things!", Bency screams. He's just frightening!

"You're boring!", Jack protests quietly.

"Commander.", Horiacio gors on, "Tyrant! Slave driver!", he adds.

Hahaha, my, they're so funny! I mean... as I see Bency my mood changes quickly. I think I should bring my stuff rather quick, or he'll explode... And I don't have the intentions to get in a fight with a nerd!

As we all have our things we sit together on the big round wooden table. And even though we are usually all very noisy it now is very quiet.
