3 Chapter Two: January 8th 2027

Once more we find ourselves outside of the ruined town of Sigma as a cold chill filled the air around four teens from a near by city who'd come to sleep in one of the few remaining houses as part of a dare to prove that they aren't just nerdy scaredy-cats.

The first is a young thirteen year old red haired, blue-eyed girl with black framed oval glasses. She was wearing a simple red dress with black trim and belt along with black knee high boots. Her name by the way is Victoria Trix but everyone just calls her Vixi. She specializes in computer programing and hacking.

The second of the four is a young fourteen year old black spiked haired, light-blue eyed boy. Like always he is wearing a black dress shirt, suit and tie. He also wore black leather gloves and cowboy style boots. His name is Kyle Atlas Tombs thou everyone just calls him Kat and he specializes in inventions and tech designing.

Third is a pale white haired, black eyed boy who loves to dress in white tunics with gold trim and embroidery. He is a science and database expert by the name of Valid O'Hare but most just call him Val. He also hates the sun and is always wearing white sunglasses.

Last of them is a short pudgy boy with brown hair and brown eyes. He also had more of a dark tan almost brown skin tone. He was wearing a simple outfit of blue jeans and a Detroit Lions hoody and his large blue framed glasses. This was Derek Dirtten, but most called him Dirt, becuase he loved digging in the dirt since he was a history buff and his last name is Dirtten.

So the four of them slowly make their way towards a small dilapidated corner store with Kat in the lead. The building looked as if it could fall down any minute as well as every window was busted out and the door was laying on the floor. Looking around Kat neared the entry of the store when he clicked on his small flashlight and shinned it around inside.

Of all the buildings in town this one seemed to be the most secure one. At least of the ones closest to the edge of town. With a sigh Kat closed his eyes to gain his thoughts as he stepped into the old store building looking for a good place to sleep as well as something to eat. Which he wasn't able to find until he made it to the back of the store.

"Hay, you guys come here and help me slide some of these shelves to make a little shelter back here." called Kat as he pushed some debris off of the floor before tossing his backpack in the corner.

"You really want to sleep in this dump?" asked Val with a slight hint of arrogance as him and Dirt added their own bags to the corner where he'd placed his. As for Vixi she just stood to the one side holding the straps of her backpack tightly trying not to be scared.

"Oh get off your high horse Val a little dirt wont kill you." teased Dirt as he took hold of one side of one of the shelf units while Kat was holding the other end.

"Fine." sighed Val as he took hold of the middle of the shelf unit and the three of them spun it to one side. They then slide a second shelf unit to the side forming a fort like wall around their little corner of the shop.

The whole time Vixi had been watching them and part of her was able to push past the overwhelming fear of this place knowing she was surrounded by three cute and smart guys. Yah they may all just be friends but part of her really wants to be more then friends with at least one of them. Yet part of her knew that wasn't possible since no one every thinks of her as cute or even pretty.

Then once the guys had finished rearranging some of the shelf units she smiled before finding a little broom to sweep the floor. While she did so she thought about the three boys wondering which one would really be the best fit for her. Kat was dark and mysterious but he also very inventive and together they really could do unthinkable things.

Then there is Val, he's a lover boy and flirt. He also loves to flaunt his money even though his looks could get him any girl if he wasn't so pale and creepy like. He'd have to be her last option of the three boys.

As for Dirt well, the fact everyone calls him Dirt and he is a bit too obsessed with it for her taste. He also was way too focused on the past thus she sighed as finished sweeping to look up and spot Kat smiling at her which caused her to look away and blush. After all he was the one she's known the longest having grown up together. Part of her has always had a small crush on him. These thoughts only made her blush more thus casing her to turn her back on the boys to hide it.

"Vixi are you okay?" asked Kat as he concerningly took a few steps towards her worried.

"Oh she probably just found a spider or something nasty like that in this filthy place." huffed Val with his arms crossed.

"You are a real jerk you know that right." snapped Kat as he shot Val a glare before walking over to Vixi and placing a comforting hand on her shoulder and smiling as she turned to face him. He then added, "Come on lets get this stupid dare over with. Now nothing can get to us behind our wall there and I'll let you sleep the farthest from the door so as to be the farthest from any chance of being harmed."

"Okay." bashfully replied Vixi as she let him lead her back to the sheltered corner spot where all of their bags had been set.
