Jake's sparkling face of great excitement at his certain victory sudden became the normal monotone "Jake stare", when the bell went off...
His fast beating heart felt as thought it would explode out of his chest with the great vibe he got from the battle, only to be buzzkilled by the bell that rang... His arms slowly lowered back to his side, brushed himself off, and stalked inside. He had no sight of Grace, Max, Lionel, or Sarcus anywhere around him in the huge crowd, He took a quick step forward to make his way to the gym when a girl blocked his way, as she
simply stood there in the crowd talking with a large group of people, they were all a little older looking than Jake. Jake's solemn stare changed as his mood swung into a far more hateful one.
Taking note of his surroundings he saw the crowd in front of him again.
"Move..."
The crowd of girls ignored him and Jake quickly became annoyed.
His breathing slowed and became far more noticeable as his anger grew and he gritted his teeth in anger.
Finally the crowd noticed him, and one of the girls spoke
"Wow kid, who stuck a d*** in your lunch?"
This comment made Jake snap, a dark red aura beam appeared in his hand and he fired it in the middle of the crowd, causing an explosion strong enough to throw all of them out of his way, and he continued to trudge to the gym as his mood swung into a more normal state, and his trudge picked up into a walk as he made his way into the gym.
Behind him the crowd of girls spoke
(#1) "Ow, That hurt a bit..."
(#2) "wow that little kid was mad huh?"
(#3) "YOU'RE CUTE :3"
Jake's calm and collected mood he was trying to build towards broke down like a Jenga tower as his cheeks turned red and he darted towards the third girl.
"Listen, I am many things but I am NOT CUTE!"
He crossed his arms and made a fast paced walk toward the gym.
"Humph, women."
Mark was out and about striking up a conversation with everyone he could on the way to the gym, talking about everything from animes to politicians.
He eyeballed the 3 girls as he was walking by...
And winked to all of them...
He kept triumphantly walking to the gym with a high head like usual.
"Man, women are great!"
