"Hey, Austere, wait up, man!" A boy with olive skin, wavy brown hair, and light brown eyes yelps out while running towards the other boy, Austere, who has pale skin, silky black hair, and deep brown eyes.
Of course, Austere immediately stopped once he saw that his friend was running after him, so he turned around to see his friend standing behind him, and immediately, the friend said, "Were you planning on ditching me?" to Austere.
"Yes, of course, I was, Oscar, what gave it away?" Austere said while staring into Oscar's honey-like eyes menacingly.
"Ha, I knew you were still mad, you big baby," Oscar said with a shit-eating grin, putting his hand on his hip.
"No, I'm not…" Austere started frowning, crossing his arms at his chest. "It's just that you're too slow." Austere barked out.
"Nah, I know my buddy…" Oscar has a very smug look on his face. "You little sour pus~" Oscar cooed out playfully.
"Oscar, first you show up late, next you steal my kill, then you take my food," Austere said in a cold tone, but the complaints didn't match his face. He seemed like he was a bit proud. "Heh, it seems like someone forgot what he said~" Austere teased.
"*gasps* how dare you" Oscar puts his right hand on his chest while reaching out his left arm with hand pointing to the ground, his head tilted to its side, as if he took an arrow to the chest and dramatically seized in pain, acting as if he just died keeping his eyes closed to maximize his drama queeness. "I could never act like you, I'm not a broody raccoon." Oscar gets out of that pose, opens his eyes, and smiles as if he's getting a reward for his act.
"Wow, what a show," Austere said while rolling his eyes. "Wait…" he started glaring at Oscar.
"Hey I am not A BROODY RACCOON DAMN IT!" He yelled
"Not with that attitude you're not~," Oscar said with a grin "Hehehe ~"
"I really want to punch you right now," Austere says with a frown. "One sec… what time is it?" Austere seemed a bit worried.
"Aus, what's wrong? And damn sudden change of subject, heh." Oscar lifted up his right arm to look at his watch. "Hmm… 7:47 am," then he put his arm back to his side. "Why did you ask?"
"YOU IDIOT OUR TEST STARTS AT 9 AND ANY PERSON THAT WANTS TO GET IN NEEDS TO BE THERE BY 8 DAMN IT" Austere yelled in frustration.
"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU YELLING AT ME FOR?" Oscar yelled back.
"But you're yelling too dumbass! "Austere grabbed Oscar's arm. "And come on, we can still make it if we run through the shortcut!"
"Yeah sure, oh, and I yelled cuz I want to! Idiot!" Oscar had a sly smile. "And last one there is a rotten egg!" as he pushed Austere softly behind him and booked it.
"HEY OSCAR YOU DAMNED CHEAT I'M GOING TO GET YOU!" Austere yelled while laughing.
"IF YOU CAN, THAT IS! HAHAHA," Oscar screamed while laughing as he started to run faster as if he was being chased by a rabid animal.
As the two boys ran in unison they tried to prove the other is slower. They ran as fast as they could even though Austere was slightly lagging behind due to being less physically fit than Oscar. he tried hard to keep up as they both weaved though the residents, as they ran they could hear a lady yell, "STOP RUNNING LIKE IDIOTS YOU KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE WALKING HERE RIGHT" of course, they kept going like no one said anything. As they reached the end of the path that lead to the main road, Oscar stopped abruptly. When he put his foot through the road, as if there was nothing there. Oscar almost losing balance, Planting his other foot on real road. Realizing Austere was not paying attention, He decided to put his arm out to stop Austere from advancing further...well it worked Austere ran straight into his arm falling on his ass. Austere yelled, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR OSCAR!" as he got off the floor patting the dirt off his butt while glaring at his friend.
Oscar turned to his friend look into his eyes his own eyes wide open then his head snapped back to look at the ground as if it was evil and yells, "THE ROAD IS A LIE" as he stomped his front foot on the ground and points at it dramatically as if it betrayed him.
Austere rolled his eyes and was about to step forward saying, "You're not going to get me with that trick again" But Oscar stopped him by saying "I can prove it! Look" as he gets on his knees one hand on the ground, with his free hand he put it in the fake ground, then with a stupid grin said "see, I told you so" as Austere eyes go wide while looking flabbergasted he yelps "H..HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT...DON'T TELL ME YOU DID A D.I.Y. TEST AT HOME WITHOUT ME!?!" then he wiped off a fake tear "I thought if you commit a crime you would include me, damn, how dare you not invite me"
"And you called me dumb, ha" Oscar said as he rolled his eyes, still maintaining his goofy smile he then said "Of course not, remember our bet? I'm not going to lose $500 for getting arrested" Austere chuckled softly as he said "Well sorry for getting excited about the possibility of getting $500 because I know you will go to jail first for breaking some obscure law or something" while Oscar who is now standing said "HA...well if anyone would break a law first that would be you, and if that is not the case your ego will get you in trouble first~ remember last year" as Oscar wiggled his eyebrows.
"hey...Hey...HEY....you promise not to mention that, its embarrassing damn it" Austere said as he tried to hide his face which was flush with embarrassment. At the same time punching Oscar's arm, then Oscar said "yeah, I deserve that, anyway where are we suppose to go now?... WAIT WHAT TIME IS IT!!"
Both boys' faces paled in realization they're not going to make it as they simultaneously checked the time it was 7:53 and the testing center was located to the left and near the end of the main road on the other side, they had 7 minutes left before the preparation and pre-selection stage started before the main test.
