Not one minute has passed since leaving the bathroom when Jamal realized a couple of things. The first realization was that he basically entered the bathroom/restroom TWICE during the same lunch period. The first time he entered the bathroom was to examine his sandwich mouth and the second time was to take a piss. It was just his luck that Craig decided to go to the bathroom during the 5 minutes Jamal was out. Sure, he was trying to leave school during those 5 minutes but going back to do something he should have done the first time was just counter productive. The stress must be getting to him. That leads to his second realization. Here he is, out in the open and he still has a PB & J muzzle hanging from his face. Now with the ability to defuse things, he better go back to the men's room for a THIRD time and defuse his mouth before anyone besides Craig sees him.
As Jamal walked back into the restroom, Craig was just getting out of his curled up ball form when he saw Jamal walk back in and lock the door behind him. Thinking Jamal has changed his mind about not fusing him to anything, Craig ran to the far end of the room and placed his back to the wall. "Please! Spare me! I have a family to go back to! I will never bully you behind your mom's back again! Just PRETY PLEASE DON"T FUSE ME WITH THE WALL OR THE TOLIT!!!" For such a tough guy, he can REALLY shed tears on a dime.
"Don't worry big guy, I'm just here to defuse my lunch from my mouth." Craig simply blinked in confusion. Wait... The sandwich hanging from his mouth was actually his mouth! Shit.
Jamal ignored Craig's confusion as he walked up to one of mirrors and grabbed hold of his muzzle with one hand and were it connects to his face with the other hand. After some gentle prying he eventually heard that satifieing...
"POP!"
...noise. In his hands was not his mouth. It was his lunch. He then preceded to put the sandwich carefully back into his lunchbox. He'll save it for his meeting with Gen. Try to act cool while properly eating his sandwich. Now that he doesn't have a sandwich mouth anymore, he can finish the school day without having to skip out and go home early. But before then, he has other things to take care of. Like Ms. Bookai for example. Before Jamal could leave the bathroom for a THIRD time, Craig called out to him. "Ummm... Hey Jamal? Can I ask you for a favor?"
Jamal was just about to unlock the door when he stopped dead in his tracks. Craig NEVER called him by his actual name. This better be good. "Sure. What do you want?"
Craig let ou a sign of relief. "Can you use your powers to help me with something? Not right now! But when I need it, I'll come find you. Is that okay?"
Jamal was taken aback by Craig's sudden change in manners. "Yeah. Just let me know when your ready. Okay buddy?"
Craig slouched to the ground in exhaustion. "Thanks." He said no more.
Jamal actually had a smile on his face as he left the room.
...
As soon as Jamal walked out of the bathroom and into the hallway, he peaked into the girl's bathroom next-door. Feeling confident that no one is in there, he went in. Jamal locked the door behind him and went to one of the bigger toilet stalls. He then took out the textbook that was once Ms. Bookai. She was one of the people Jamal didn't wan't to test his new powers on. That is mainly because of his respect for her. Unlike Ms. Penn, Ms. Bookai is a calm collected and beautiful senior teacher. Of the many years she worked in this school everyone had only good things to say about her. English was his weakest subject until Ms. Bookai patiently walked him through the process and taught him more things about english then most other english teachers had. With some determination, he carefully tugged at the textbook until one of his textbooks managed to defuse from Ms.Bookai with a load...
"POP!"
He repeated the process and got another load...
"POP!"
Lying before him were two worn down textbooks and the unconces form of a now human Ms. Bookai. Jamal smiled as he put his two textbooks in his backpack and left the kind hearted teacher laying on the bathroom floor. He would defuse Tam as well, but he doesn't want to wake up Ms. Bookai and cause more unnecessary trouble. He rather Ms. Bookai wakes up thinking the whole experience was a dream than have Tam snitching on him. He'll just have to defuse her later when he is alone.
...
Jamal was grinning when he left the Ladies Room. He just fixed two mistakes in a short amount of time. The last thing to do before lunch ends is to meet with Gen. "You seem to really like bathrooms." That startled Jamal.
He turned to see Max standing by himself in the hallway. Just like Tam, Max is a loner. He doesn't talk much and tends to stay away from other people. In Jamal's option. Max is what Tam would have been as a boy. He likes video games and books just like Tam. They also have similar personalities. Same likes and Dislikes. The only real difference between him and her is that he tend to pop up when you least expect it and give out weird comments. That and, he is no way related to Tam by blood. He is white skinned compared to her black and he doesn't know Tam as far as Jamal knows. The world just seems to be big enough to have two people of the opposite gender to be very similar to each other. Jamal was always meaning to hook the two up but never got around to it.
"U-uh yeah." Jamal Answered dumbly. Max gave him very little room or time to counter.
To prevent further complications, Jamal simply shrugged and walked away. Max remained were he was.
With that unsettling encounter over, Jamal continued walking. The last thing to do before Lunch ends is to meet with Gen. That, or he could prolong his meeting and wait till next class. Unknowest to Jamal, there is still so many things he can still do during lunch time. He can test his powers on more test subjects or test some fusions on himself. The possibilities are endless with his powers.
