No ones POV-

As Travis walked back into the house, the street was filled up with grunts, moans and sarcasms, grunts of anger, sad moans and something different.

Something more thrilling, which brings in all the drama.

Grunts of jealousy; lots of them coming from no other then Dante. Dante sat there, in his office room; throwing a small bouncy ball. Something was in his mind.

"Hey, would you stop that please?"

At the last bounce, Dante grabbed the ball and held it steadily. Then he threw the ball once again.

"I asked you to stop nicely, now again would you please stop!"

The person said with their voice raised up. There someone rolled them self with their wheel chair, to Dantes office. It was no other then Brenden. Dante then again caught the small rubber ball, and paused for a moment.

" Look, I'm sorry to raise my voice at you, Dante, but it was getting out of control."

Dante continued on staring at the wall. Brenden raised his eyebrow.

"Did you hear what I said, Dante?"

Brenden glanced at Dante, then he came closer to him.

"Huh? Dante, are you okay?"

Dante said nothing, just continued on staring at the wall. Brenden placed his hand on Dante's shoulders, but then a sharp pain went through his hand. Dante had slapped it.

"Ouch! What was that for?!"

Brendan said, rubbing his hand, Dante sighed.

"I'm sorry Brendan, I'm just thinking about... Things."

Dante put away the small rubber ball in his hand and looked over at Brendan. Brendan rolled his chair inside Dante's office.

"What are those 'THINGS' you're thinking about, Dante?"

Dante paused, then breathed out.

"Do you know how me and Nicole are..."

"Going steady? Yeah Dante of course I know, you did tell me."

Dante paused again, but this time he got out the rubber ball, and tightened his grip. Brendan noticed.

"Well, she did tell me that she, um. She used the L word."

Brendan thought for a sec, then his eyes widen open.

"She told you that she loves you!?!? Dante, that's great! Did you tell her that you loved her back?"

Dante Shaked his head.

"Brendan, I told her that it went a bit to fast. I didn't tell her I loved her back, I just told her that maybe we should step back."

Brendan looked puzzled

"Why did you tell her that? I thought you liked her? Didn't you?"

Dante looked down at the rubber ball, smiling, then closed his hands.

"I guess I'm missing the point of liking someone, Brendan. I guess when she told me that she love me, I guess it just went out a different way."

Brendan placed his hand again on Dante's shoulder, hoping not to get slapped, but Dante allowed him to place it.

" I understand, but I feel that's not the only thing bothering you, buddy."

Dante glanced again at the rubber ball and back at Brendan. He shook his head slowly, and Brendan sighed.

"Whatever you say Dante. Whenever you need someone to talk to about anything, I'm just an office away."

Brendan removed his hand from Dante's shoulder and rolled himself back to his cubicle. Dante placed the small rubber ball on his desk, looking at it with a smile; a smile of remembrance.

Dante can recall anything, from when he was just a small boy, up till now. Everything that happened in his life, from good to back, but there was one certain memory that he chairises the most. The day he met his roommate and best friend, Travis.

It's was around December, when everyone was so wrapped up about buying Christmas gifts. Dante was at the mall with his mother and his big brother Gene; buying gifts just like everyone else. Dante was just starting 6th grade while Gene was moving on up in 8th; so there was barely any amount of time that the two of them bonded.

Dante & Gene's mom had told them that while she is off shopping, the can go to the movie theater and watch a movie together. That made Dante get excited, since the new movie The Incredibles came out! He can hardly wait so once they entered the mall, Dante dragged Gene to the theater in joy.

Gene bought three tickets, and the three of them read adults. Dante was confused but shrugged it off, and continued to follow Gene up till the front door. Gene stopped and turned to his left seeing two people there waiting.

Dante of course knew who they were, it was Genes best friends Sasha and Zenix. Dante was surprised by the visit and waved to Sasha, while Sasha waved back with a smile; Gene gave them two of the tickets that he has bought, while he kept one. As strange as what his big brother did, he tapped on his shoulder and asked where his ticket is.

Gene looked at Zenix, motioning him to do something; Zenix reached into his pocket and got out a ticket reading the Incredibles. Dante grabbed the ticket at looked at his big brother confused.

"Hey Gene how come my ticket says The Incredibles but yours says Horror film?"

Gene turned to his short brother and smiled softly, "sorry Dante but I'm going to watch a scary horror film with Sasha and Zenix. I know you can have fun without me, can't you?"

Dante hesitated and slowly nodded his head; making Gene smile and motioned Dante off by himself. There Dante started walking trying to find where the movie was being held until a small bouncy ball, bounced right towards him. Dante caught it in his and and glanced at the rubber object untill a boy started to yell.

There a boy with albino white hair and green eyes came running towards Dante, full speed, trying to stop but failed at the attempt. There the both of them collided, falling to the ground and the ball rolling out of Dante's grasp. Dante SAT up and looked toward the boy with a bit of anger.

"HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE RUNNING!"

Shouted Dante to the boy, but then realized that the boy wasn't listening, he was just crying. Dante looked around trying to see if anyone noticed what had just happened, but there were no eye witnesses. Dante crawled slowly towards the white haired albino, checking if he's all right.

"Hey. Are you okay?"

No response.

"Why were you running so fast?"

No response..

"Can't you hear me? I'm asking you a simple question, dude, but your not helping me out one bit!?"

No response...

Dante came closer to him, and sat right beside him. He felt terrible that he screamed at him, and made him upset.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scream or raise my voice or get angry at you. It's just that you came running bluntly towards me and..."

"My ball..."

Dante paused leaning in closely to hear him.

"My what?"

"M-my ball... My s-small bouncy b-ball... I lost it..."

Dante went into his pocket and grabbed the small ball that rolled to him earlier.

"You mean this small ball?"

The boy turned around with quick speed, with a huge grin and tears on his face. This made Dante feel great, but also couldn't stop looking at him.

"Hey aren't you Travis Valkrum from the 5th grade graduation? You know the guy that wrote an amazing speech, not to mention be in a lot of plays in elementary?"

The boy looked shocked and before you know he blushed for a bit.

"That's me, Travis Valkrum, a beginner 5th grader. Y-you must have paid close attention to know who I am?"

A light tink of pink came across Dante's face, making him embarrassed. Travis noticed and giggled.

"Well since you know who I am, I'm wondering if you'll tell me your name?"

Travis twiddled his thumbs, waiting for a response. Dante nodded and took a big breath.

"My name is Dante, nice to finally meet you."

Dante looked at Travis and then handed the small ball to his hand; Travis was blushing as there hands are connected together.

"H-hey, do you want to watch The movie with me?"

Dante pointed to where it says The Incredibles and Travis nodded with agreement. On that day they realized they had a lot of fun, and didn't want to leave, so when the movie ended Travis gave the small ball to Dante. With out saying anything, Dante kept  the ball to remember the good time he had with Travis, since that's what he believed they were never going to see each other again.

Dante kept it for a year until 7th grade rolled in, and on the bus he saw Travis once more.

There relationship grew bigger and bigger each month, with there trust on each other's own hand. Dante could never forget this thought...

Because whenever Dante needed someone Travis was right there by his side...

And he doesn't want to lose that.

Never...

Finally posted a chapter! Whoppy!!! Hope it wasn't a long wait. Looks like Dante's getting a bit jealous of what had happened earlier with Travis and Zane. Huehuehue
