Flavius tugged on the T-shirt and finally the grey hoodie to finish off his look. He turned around and checked himself out in front of the mirror. He had on blue and white canvas loafers, bleu-jeans, a sky blue T-shirt and a grey hoodie, with "#DIVINE&FINE" on the back in big navy blue letters.
He laughed. Yeah this was awesome...
He slipped on his shades, and tugged up his hood, and after grabbing a bag with some stuff inside it, he vanished from his bedroom in the palace, arriving in Eric's highschool, just five minutes after Eric had gone into the cafeteria for lunch.
"All I can say is that I find your latest disgraceful demonstration to be completely against school policies and common public decency young man!" Flavius heard Mrs. Perkins say, as he passed the principal's office.
Apparently, Jake Howlson was being chewed out. He laughed. Yeah. You don't mess with Flavius. Urgh!
He strutted down the corridor, checking everything out, before entering the cafeteria. He helped himself to some food which he loaded onto a tray, and headed to a table in the corner where Ryan and Eric were chatting. Timmy had found a friend of his and had left to go and hang out with him for a while before class started again in about an hour.
Flavius carried a tray with a burger, fries, and a can of lemonade to the table and sat down opposite Eric and Ryan, who were still chatting about what had just happened.
"I still don't get where all his clothes went!" Ryan said, struggling not to laugh. "I mean that's just NUTS! I guess he just...Hey! Do you mind? We're talkin' here!"
"Oh! I see! Well EXCUSE me!" said Flavius, "But without me, you wouldn't have anything to talk about, so hard cheese!" he said. he clunked down his tray and sat down.
"Hey, I said!..." Ryan began, but Eric GASPED when the boy folded down his hoodie and started eating.
"Flavius! What are you DOING here!?"
"...having lunch. What's it look like!? Jeez..."
"HOLY CRAP YOU KNOW FLAVIUS!?" Ryan hissed at Eric.
"Shhhh!!" Eric hissed back! "Don't announce it, jeez!! Yes, I know Flavius! Okay!?"
"Woah..." said Ryan, his eyes glazing over with what looked like DEEP admiration.
"WOAH!!" he said again, when the enormity of what he was thinking of just dawned on him.
"I...I just...W.O.A.H.", he said again. "This is...woah..."
"I think I've made quite an impression on him", said Flavius, eating his burger. Eric blushed.
"Ryan's my best friend at school", said Eric, "Flavius, Ryan, Ryan, Flavius..."
"H-hi!" said Ryan, his hand trembling so much he could hardly hold it still. Flavius grasped Ryan's hand and shook it firmly, with a bone-cracking strength!
"Woah!" he said again.
"Nice to meet you".
"How do you know Flavius!?" Ryan whispered.
"Flavius saved my life when I was two", Eric whispered. "I fell down some stairs and...hurt myself pretty bad...and Flavius saved me...we've been friends ever since...uh...right, Flavius?"
"Mmm-hmm!!" said Flavius, around a huge mouthful of burger. He stroked Eric's hand affectionately. He swallowed.
"Anything for my lil' buddy", he said, smirking. "So, how do you like my latest masterpiece? I call it Naked Ambition!"
Eric suddenly erupted with laughter and Ryan choked on his Coke as he struggled not to laugh as well!
"That was SO incredible..." said Eric, "How did you DO that!?"
"Eh, just some...sleight of hand...y'know...you move stuff here..."
A salt-shaker slid across the table.
"...and rearrange things..."
The pepper-shaker slid across the table.
"...and then you just..."
He clapped his hands, and suddenly the salt and pepper changed places, so that the salt was inside the pepper-shaker and the pepper was inside the salt-shaker! He snapped his fingers, and suddenly everything went back to normal.
"Flavius...really...you did an amazing job...thanks dude..."
"No problem!"
"So why are you here?"
"Well I came to give Jake his threads back..."
He gestured to the bag he'd brought with him.
"What's that?"
He opened the bag and pulled out several balls of thread.
"His threads!...in uh...thread-form..."
The boys screamed with laughter.
"I was gonna go pop them in his locker..."
"We'll come!" said Ryan quickly. Eric nodded, and the three boys left.
--- --- --- ---
"Dude, that is TRIPPY..." said Ryan, watching the combination-dial on Jake's locker spin around at lightning-fast speed from left to right and back again, until the door popped open - all without Flavius even touching anything. Flavius laughed.
He tossed the balls of thread inside and slammed the locker shut.
"That's gonna mindfuck him BAD", he said, and laughed. "But don't worry dude, he won't come after you no more", said Flavius, turning to Eric. "And if he does, I'm just a call away".
He waved his hands and two solid gold rings appeared out of nowhere.
"Here", he said, handing one to Eric, and then one to Ryan.
"What's these?" Eric asked.
"You can use them to summon me", said Flavius, "Whether it's just to chill out or whatever, or whether you like, need help with stuff".
"Oh!" said Eric, "Cool! Thanks Flavius!"
"Yeah, no problem", said Flavius.
"JACOB RICHARD HOWLSON!!"
The three of them JUMPED when they heard a lady's voice exploding from a door nearby.
"HOW DARE you humiliate your family like this! If this is your idea of another stupid prank! Then..."
"Mom! I didn't..."
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT, JACOB! When your father finds out about this you are gonna get SUCH a hiding! You WAIT 'til I get you home, young man!"
Eric and Ryan laughed when the spotted Jake being marched out of the principal's office with his mother's overcoat wrapped around him.
"I'll remember this FOREVER", said Ryan, laughing.
"Mmmhmm. And since you owe me", said Flavius, "How's about..."
