Will crumpled the news paper where he read the story, and tossed it in the trash with a look of not annoyance, but utter contempt and disgust.

Here I thought they actually saw me as someone they could actually rely upon... Will thought. I suppose the folly was my own doing, assuming that's these imbeciles could even hope to understand me.

Will couldn't help but feel annoyed, disgusted, and saddened at being called "Annoying and conceded."

I was far too foolish in thinking I could ever rely on anyone in this stupid moronic club. I'm far better off on my own. The only thing This club has to offer me is the ability to keep my scholarship, and that is it.

"Nothing but an army of idiots..." He muttered under his breath.

Will then took a sip of tea, and proceeded to read the book that was his only company at his isolated lunch table.

"Thank you... excuse me," she then said walking back to her table and sitting down annoyed.

"Where did the lovely lady go? You seem upset," Rafe teased, a smile playing on his lips.

"Watch it Seraph," Aphrodite snapped, causing the boy to laugh.

Lucina shook her head at the scene then noticed Will sitting alone. Grabbing her food she walked over to his table. "Mind if I join you?"

"Can you believe this?!" Felix said in disbelief, looking over at the article in the paper. His friend Drake sat next to him outside the school grounds. Unlike Felix, Drake was too busy laughing to give a response.

"Oh my gosh! Hahahaha!" Drake managed to blurt out, as Felix gave him a look of annoyance.

"I fail to see the humor in this," Felix moaned.

"You need to lighten up, man!" Drake said, jabbing Felix's shoulder. "Who cares what people think?"

Felix sighed, realizing that it probably wasn't something he should get so worked up over. Still, it was kind of annoying. He stood up, crumbling the paper and tossing it in a nearby bin. "Classes start soon. You should probably head home soon." he said to Drake.

"Don't do anything rash, Felix," Drake said. With that said, Drake got up and left, waving down a taxi and heading home.

Felix made his way towards the school to get something to eat before class. As he was walking, he saw Will crumbling up the paper and tossing it, a look of pure disgust evident on his face. Felix shrugged, approaching Will.

"Care if I join you in the "less-than-flattering things said about me" club?" Felix said to Will, waiting for approval before taking a seat.

Will shot Lucina and Felix glances that rivaled and overpowered the intensity of icy daggers.

He clamped his book shut.

"Funny, the average description of me according to the members of the club was, too put in a way you will understand. 'Snooty and annoying'. I can only assume you all feel the same way." Will said, his voice cold, like an icy glacier.

"I've always been alone, so what makes you morons think I need your company now?" Will asked, his glare capable of bring a seasoned soldier to tears with fear.

Brushing past them at a slow and regal pace that bore an aura of loathing. He dumped his leftovers in the trash can.

"I have an art project I need to work on... I'll see all you imbeciles in club..."

He then left, without another word.

Making it too the nearby bathroom, he punched the mirror hard enough where it cracked out of sheer rage.

His knuckle began to bleed and sting, but he didn't care. Because no one else ever did.

"... Okay then..." Felix said, looking at Will as he left in a rage. He sighed, looking at Lucina as she stood nearby as well. "I have a feeling this article is going to lead to bad things down the line," Felix said to her, taking a seat at the table with his food.

"It appears that it already has." Sophie said to Felix, sitting down in the seat that Will had vacated moments before, having grabbed another espresso on the way over to the table. "Perhaps that shouldn't be a surprise however... given what we were asked." She said quietly, considering her words carefully. "I am curious as to what her angle is however." She mused out loud.

Lucina frowned and followed Will, muttering an excuse me to Felix. At hearing the glass crack she went into the restroom not caring that it was the boys room. It was a relief that no one was in there. "Your hand," she gasped. "Here let me help you." She reached into her bag and wouldn't let him push her away as she started tending to his wounds."I said Will is Will for the article. Nothing about being annoying though you can at times, your still nice at others... also everyone needs someone even if they were alone. I never had friends growing up either... but now I'm making them. I have Rayray and Avi, and I hope you and the others in the club will be my friends as well," she smiled at him.

"I suppose so," Felix said to Sophie. "I guess it's all in the business. Being nice doesn't sell papers. Still, I'm a little peeved that she lied about the "Anonymous" part of the interview. Anonymous my eye..." Felix said, taking a sip of his orange juice.

Will sighed.

It's just going to be a pain to try and get her to leave... Might as well just let her take care of her goal in mind...

He wordlessly looked away from Lucina.

"Um..." He said, slightly awkwardly. "Sorry... I shouldn't have lost my temper like that... It was wrong with me."

After that, he just remained silent as Lucina continued to wipe the blood off his hands.

Sophie chuckled dryly at Felix's last quip. She paused for a moment to take a sip of her drink before commenting. "I spoke to her about this just a few moments ago and she didn't seem to get that..." Sophie explained, not going into detail about what her conversation with Aphrodite had entailed. "And as you so succinctly stated, being nice doesn't push papers... however I am curious as to why she chose to target this club in particular because it seems to me that she gets along with at least a few of us..." She thought out loud. "Perhaps she expects the oncoming drama to really sell her followup article." Given Will's reaction, which she had only seen the tail end of, this didn't seem unreasonable to her in the slightest. "A devious scheme if I've ever seen one."

Once Lucina was done wrapping Will up she nodded her head approvingly. "There much better now. Too bad I don't have a lolipop to give you," she joked. "We have first hour together right? Should we head there now?" she asked him, offering her hand.

"If you guys are getting upset over such things then you´re both weaker than I expected," Anna said from behind the two as she noticed both Sophie and Felix. "I can understand that you're upset from what it said on the article but...you're both idiots," she stated simply and with a shrug. "If you're bothered by what it says then just ignore it, we all have our opinions of others and she was just doing her work, in fact maybe you should be thinking that you're the ones doing something wrong if so many people are saying that about you, I'm bothered by th efact I'm apparently a heartbreaker but that' s something I'll have to deal with."

"Holy crap I'm trying to pee here!" Dia yelled from inside one of the bathroom stalls as he snuck his head out, only to see Lucina tending to Will' s cut hand. "Aren´t you a girl?" he asked towards Lucina before turning to Will. "And Will, you should punch glass...it hurts you and if you're bothered about the interview then don't worry, you' re not that bad of a guy....now can I finish my business?"

Sophie rolled her eyes at Anna's remarks. "My dear, that was a compliment coming from Aphrodite." She pointed out to the younger girl with a smile. "And I dont feel like dwelling on it any longer than I have to, but daring to say I don't care about my brother is a low blow." She hissed. "But I drew the line in the sand very clearly for Miss Information so I don't see that becoming a problem." Normally she hated puns, but one slipped out anyways. "If I were you Anna, I would be more concerned with how the club room looks this afternoon. You're going to have a lot of very unhappy people."

"Hm?" Anna raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What do you mean?" she asked curiously, though she thought that Sophie meant people' s reaction to the interview. "Oh, so that' s why it didn't bother me then.," she replied with a sageful nod before putting her hands on her hips.

"Um..." Will said, looking slightly uncomfortable. "Thanks."

"We should go before people start inquiring about who broke the mirror." He said.

"Assuming anybody even shows up at all," Felix remarked at Sophie's rebuttal. "Some people might not have as thick skin as you, Anna." He looked over at Anna to address her comments.

"Regardless, I think there's a difference between 'doing your work' and being an asshole," he said bluntly. "I mean, like I said earlier, I know this kind of stuff is what sells papers, but it really hurt a lot of peoples feelings, especially that Will kid. Seems to me like she's just poking the hornets nest and trying to get a rise out of us."

Felix shrugged before continuing "I mean yeah, I probably shouldn't get mad over it. It's just words and opinions, but still. Some people take this kind of thing seriously."

Sophie grinned at Anna's change in demeanor as well as Felix's words. Now she was making progress. "Felix makes some good points." She added, not pointing out to Anna that she had said something very similar to Felix just moments before. "I agree with him that there is a thin line between Aphrodite doing her job and... being an asshole as he said." Sophie quipped. "I do think we're going to have to have a sit down this afternoon in the club room, because there are people who are very unhappy with what was written. And not by Aphrodite like I was. But from the rest of the club." She sighed, taking another sip of her coffee. "I've seen firsthand what slander from the press can do to people..." She trailed off, not wanting to elaborate on the fact that it almost ruined her mom and dad's marriage, among other things. "I just don't want to see such a fate befall my friends."

"Meh," Anna shrugged. She honestly didn't care about the article of what was said, she said what she had said honestly and didn't have a problem with stating it if it came to mind. "I for one thing this could be good, some honesty might help clear things up, I feel like everyone always keeps their own thoughts in fear of what others might say." she nodded her head. "Like my sister once said to me...honesty is the key or something."


"Yeah, I found out," Dia said as he walked out of the stalls. "I think what we should worry about is the fact we have a girl in here."


"Don't worry too much Aphrodite," Tyson pointed out as he saw the girl walk back to them after her conversation with Sophie. "I actually think it'll be kind of interesting to see how they all deal with this."

Sophie raised a finger at the last part of Anna's statement. "My issue with this is that some of it isn't honestly." She pointed out dryly. "She took a cheap shot at me, a shot that isn't backed up by facts or truth." Sophie explained. "And that's what I'm annoyed about." She stated clearly.

"No, I meant honesty in regards to what those that didn't like what others say might bring up in the afternoon," Anna replied with a nod. "By the way if it helps, I don't find you scary, I think you're pretty awesome."
