CHAPTER FIVE❤PART OF THE SQUAD

I was now an official member of the Scooter squad.How does that sound,really neat right.To be recognized as member,I was tagged on Instagram as the new face of the Scooter squad.I got more than 400 likes and 107 comments which we mostly positive.

I became a social piranha on my first day of school.What an achievement.

People started to treat me differently like when I walk in the hallway,they make way so that I can pass.I did not appreciate being treated differently,but now I had to deal with it cause that will be my new normal.I no longer have to follow  the line at the cafeteria cause immediately I try to follow the line,they let me get served first saying its a privilege for Scooter squad members.

Via also got a little popular when she told other girls she was my sister.

People started to want to know me.They wanted to know who is this guy who joined the  coolest squad in school on his first day.

My instagram followers multiplied tenfold and I seemed to be the main centre of attention in the whole squad.

Due to curiosity,I decided to ask Sparta how he became so popular and founded the most popular squad in school and outside.His answer was both heartwarming and sad.He told me that when he was new,he was never popular.Until he did something unique,something rare for a newbie to do.He saw that he could make  a difference by beating up a famous and rich bully. He said that he beat up the bully so bad the bully's sister cried.He also mentioned that he saw the exact same thing with me when I was protesting about the park belonging to the public and not them.

So that's why he offered me to join the squad.I thanked him for hooking me up even though we didn't know each other back then.

"What do you normally do with the squad for fun?"I asked Sparta.

"Well we were planning on having a burn off or as we like to call it roasting!"

I was really really attentive about this roasting thing cause I've heard rumours that Sparta is a legend at giving people sick burns.

I suggested we make the burn off public so as to make it better but he was against that idea saying it would attract a lot of random people.

He also said that making decisions without the rest of the squad was not a good idea since they were all united.I agreed with him on this one.Man I love his sense of unity.

We alerted the whole squad and they were all cool with it.After other Squad's from our school accepted our challenge,the dates were set and everything was great.

School was awesome,apart from being in a cool squad and the being treated differently,it was dope.The music teacher Mrs Char was talking about finally arrived from Canada.He was a little bit tall and hairy but he still looked like a dope teacher.I couldn't wait to finally start learning music.We were not properly introduced to him cause he was to take one full week to get settled and stuff.The school was also about to receive musical instruments and ensure that all instruments have a valid warranty.

A day before the burn off,we met up and discussed tactics on how to win the burn off and become even more popular.It was fun cause we had some sick comebacks in store for any burn the other Squad's had in store for us.All we needed was a person with a sick accent.

        X➖X➖X➖X➖X➖X➖X

Finally,the D-day had arrived.We agreed that everyone's accent was alright so it was going to be random.The burn off was to take place in the skatepark after school.

During recess,Sparta called me aside.

"We have a problem,"He said.

He explained how other squad's from other schools heard of the burn off and requested to join and he agreed.

He also said they were also coming with fans to cheer them on.

"So what's the problem.Having fans is not a problem since we are the most beloved squad.Right?"

"Fans are not the problem,the problem is the competition.We need to work hard and maybe luck will be on our side."

We announced the burn off during lunch cause even though we didn't want it to be public,situation made it possible.

The rest of the day people were talking all about the burn off.I  heard some people talking about how Sparta was so good at burns that  we had a better chance of winning because of him.There was this particular person who mentioned something about me he said and I quote.

'What about the new guy?What is he good at?I bet if he makes the squad lose the burn off he will definitely get kicked out."

After overhearing that conversation,I knew that for us to win,I had to be as good as Sparta.I planned on my own how I was to burn every comeback Sparta gets from his burns.By doing that I was certain we would most certainly win.

        X➖X➖X➖X➖X➖X➖X

The skatepark was full to capacity and it looked like our fans occupied most of the left side of the park.

Only four squads showed up after others chickened out after finding out that Sparta was a legend.Others were afraid of being humiliated.

There were actually only two squads from our school and two others from different schools.That means that there was only going to be two rounds.The semifinals and the finals.

It started with the other squad from our school and one of the others. The burn off started off slowly gaining momentum by the minute.

The squad from our school was being demolished.Slowly being  defeated.They were thrown classic burns but they did not have any sick comebacks so they lost the burn off humiliated and ashamed.I know they regretted ever joining the burn off.

The fans of the winning squad jumped with excitement as their squad advanced to the finals.

The next round was ours so I called a small squad discussion.I told them the key was to be direct and straight to the point.

I was not  participating in this round but I realized we were slowly destroying them and then boom.Sparta delivered the final blow and down they went speechless.

Our fans jumped,screamed and cheered with joy cause we won the semifinals and are now advancing to the finals.

Sparta called another discussion and said we cannot celebrate yet because the squad we were about to go against was really good.I mentioned that we could not lose in a burn off we held.After some quick motivation and advice,we were ready to win this this thing.

They seemed stressed and sweaty  so I decided to start the burn off.

"You guys seem sweaty.Do you know why your sweating?"I asked not expecting an answer.

"Because you're wearing sweatpants period."I said really loud and fast.

Our fans were laughing their lungs out after that burn.It was more of a joke than a burn but who cared they got the point.

We expected a comeback to that burn but they just let it slide.

After several burns and numerous comebacks,I realised they were slowly winning.I decided to drop one large boom that they couldn't recover from.

I stepped forward and let my mouth speak for itself.

"You guys are jerks and not good looking by the way,FYI the jerk store just called,they're running out of you.I would like to insult you but I'm afraid I won't do as well as nature did.You're the reason you're all gonna lose.I would like to hear what crap you have in store for me but I function better without unsolicited advice."

That boom was so intense that they gave up and gave me a salute.They then left not ashamed but honourable even though they lost.

I can't believe I said all that.I just said the first thing that came to my mind and man it felt good.

Our fans screamed while cheering as they stormed to where we were and lifted us up high.They then started to chant my name as we went round the skatepark.

Hey y'all it me Clinton Makoli.Now how was that,a very interesting chapter wasn't it.I think this is the longest chapter I have written so far.Anyway lets met in the next chapter.Don't forget to follow me, vote and comment.Adios.
