Before Jarrod (formerly Simon) could decide what to do, a knock was heard at the door. "Answer it", commanded Mark. As Jarrod opened the door, Mark thought that his dreams were coming true when he saw three boys who were even nerdier than Simon had been.
In a squeaky voice, the tallest of the boys asked, "Have you seen our friend Simon? We were supposed to study with him."
"Come in, boys", Mark ordered. Without a moment's hesitation the trio entered. "Jarrod, you may remember the names of these boys", he instructed his new skater god. "Would you like some new friends?"
"Yes" said Jarrod. "This is Raymond", he said, pointing to the tallest (at 5'9") of the boys. "The others are Jonathan and Matthew", he pointed to the two who were a couple of inches shorter than Raymond.
Before the trio of newcomers could react to what was going on, Mark spoke directly to them. "Boys, from this moment on you will do as I say, think as I tell you to think, and become what I want you to become. Jarrod, what shall we do first?"
