It was a week later. Things had continued in the normal trend everyone could expect. Melissa had made two cool and rich friends. She wouldn't settle for less.
It was lunchtime. Casey and Cody usually stayed back in class to read. They just got fed up and then they decided to take a walk along the hallway.
"Everything has changed since Melissa got here". Casey said.
"Yeah, you are right. Students have been following her like she's a goddess". Cody attested.
"Some people are just crazy. I call them celebrity freaks. It's good you are not one of them".
"I can't even be".
"I grew up in Clara's hands so celebrity stuff doesn't freak me at all".
"That's right. She dresses to kill."
"Yes, usually half- naked if I'm correct".
Just then, they saw Melissa approaching.
"Here she comes". Cody whispered.
"Speak of the devil". Casey whispered back.
"Hi guys or I say losers?" Melissa said and her friends giggled.
"Your twin is mean". Casey whispered.
"I know."
"We are not losers". Cody said, frowning in objection.
"Prove it". She said, giving a look as if to say 'you are not up to the task'.
"How do we prove it to someone as dumb as you are?"Cody asked, putting up a smirk on his face.
"The Mill High School Talent Competition that holds next week. I want you to join and prove you are not pathetic losers".
"Is this a joke or a prank?" Cody said, getting furious.
"You see, you guys are losers. You are not even confident enough. And you Casey, I thought you were smarter and better but you proved to be no different from my pathetic brother. It's so disappointing". She said and clapped her hands thrice.
"We are not going to…." Casey said but Cody was quick to cut in.
"It's a deal. We're going to accept your challenge and win it fair and square". He said, cracking his knuckles.
"Fine, let's see how you miserly losers perform". She said and walked away with her friends.
"Yes, we are in the competition. Let's show them what we've got". Cody said but Casey frowned at him.
"Is that the best you've got?" Casey said and gave him a look that portrayed his disapproval.
"What do you want?"
"We are way better than them. You were not supposed to accept the challenge".
"We have to prove it".
"And we prove we're better than them by not stooping so low to their level. Well, the deed's done".
"We have to prepare. Besides, what area are you good at?"Cody asked.
"Well, it's not really a talent but I am good at Physics. I can explain virtually anything with Physics".
"That's cool but I'm better at football".
"To what extent are you good?" Casey asked without hesitation.
"Good? No. Better? Yes. I won the Junior High School Football League twice for my former school, Kent High School".
"If only there was a way to combine football and Physics together". Casey said in a downcast tone.
Cody stopped for a moment. Casey was quick to realize that he had gotten an idea.
"Wait, we merge both together- Football and Physics".
Casey shrugged.
"Be realistic, man. We both know that it's not possible so quit it. Let's find something we can do together".
"Let me explain. I can actually pull off some tough skills so all you do is explaining my actions with Physics".
"How are we going to do that?" Casey asked.
"Follow me." Cody said and walked on. Casey also followed him to see his plan.
