Josh smiles as he flexes his big arm, before turning towards you.
“Blake, I gotta check up on some friends of mine. They work in the computer lab down the hall, and they get picked on by the jocks all the time! I wanna show them my new muscles!”
“Why? Why do they get picked on?” you ask your big, buff friend. You feel so much safer now that you buffed up your best friend Josh in the library using your wand. Josh is a big muscle kid now and you feel quite confident that nobody will mess with you while the big guy is around.
“The computer lab is literally the last room down the hall from the locker rooms leading up to the gym, so all the jocks always must pass by the lab. Therefore, the guys in the lab always get harassed and asked to do stupid stuff for the jocks, like give them money or do dumb homework assignments for them. I hate that!” Josh explained.
“Aren’t there any muscle guys in the computer lab?” you ask your big buddy.
“Blake, these are all NERDS. All of them!” Josh explained. “You’ll see when we get there.”
When you arrive at the small computer lab, you understand what Josh was talking about. Once inside, Josh was by far the biggest guy in the room. There were several tables and about laptops and desktop computers along with a sound mixer, several webcams, a ring light, other tripods and cameras, video equipment and more.
“Dane over here oversees editing the videos which we film and post on YouTube. Chris is one of the camera guys who records videos for us to upload to the new high school news channel. Darryl and Charlie working on audio and lighting and Cheryl is our on-camera personality and reporter. She does all the work on-camera! We post new videos every week and we even run a podcast from here at that table over there!” Josh explained, pointing at a large table where there were four big microphones which were all connected to a sound mixer with cables running everywhere. There were cables and wires running all over the place and several computers were also connected to each other as well.
“Wow, quite an impressive setup you guys got here! This is great!” you say, as you look around the small room, which was jam packed with video equipment.
Just then, there was a loud banging on the door which swings open, showing four members of the football team standing there. They drop a few sheets of paper on the first table nearest to the door.
“We got some dumb essay writing assignments from Mr. Holtz, that idiot English teacher. We don’t have time for that! We need to go to football and wrestling practice. You nerds have till tomorrow afternoon to crank out four essays for us. We’ll be back to collect them tomorrow!” Kurt shouted at, as he was standing there in front of Chad, Keith, and Chase.
“Hold on a minute! Who says we need to do YOUR homework?” Josh growled angrily as he turned around and faced the four big men. “What if we DON’T do it?”
“What are you gonna do, Josh? You’re just ONE guy. We are FOUR. Wanna fight us, four against one?” Kurt said coolly before he turned around and walked off.
You wait for the football players to walk away and close the door. You grab your backpack and you remove the wand.
