After I recieved my "punishment" I just went to my room.

Leo: You know, there are ways of getting back at him.
Rafe: Shut up. You're not even real. *smashes ceramic turtle*
Leo: I'm just saying. I know a way to get back at Carl, and earn some points at the same time. If you're interested. Just so you know, it could really get you into trouble.
Rafe: I don't care. I'm already in enough trouble as it is.

Okay, time out for a second. It's not like I was trying to hide Leo from you - or at least the part about him not being real. I know, I know - what kind of sixth grader has imaginary friends? I don't see it that way. He's always been around, and there's never been a reason to stop talking to him.

Basically, Leo is just there in my imagination. You understand now?

Yes? Ok, good.

At school the seguinte day.

potro, colt 34: Hey. Somepony is selling Zoom here.
Filly 24: Oh cool.
Rafe: *Selling Zoom*

Hills Village Middle School is a sugary free drink zone, so something like Zoom is pure gold here.

I only had one rule when it came to my sales. Bring Your Own Cup. That way, there wouldn't be marked cans floating around. One dollar filled the cup of your choice, or emptied the can, whichever came first.

Rafe: *pours cup of Zoom* Here you go.
potro, colt 23: Thanks Rafe *pays a dollar*
Rafe: I guess Miller is right. I am getting a reputation around here.
Ponies: *laughing*

I made 16 bucks, and 35,000 points. And when lunch was almost over...

Jeanne: *arrives*
Rafe: Thirsty?
Jeanne: You know, this is totally against the rules.
Rafe: That makes it taste better.
Jeanne: Why does it seem like you're always trying to get in trouble? I don't get that.
Rafe: Can you keep a secret? *shows code of conduct*
Jeanne: Yeah? So what?
Rafe: I'm going to be the first pónei, pônei to break every single rule in this book.
Jeanne: Great, thanks for telling me. Now I could get into trouble.
Rafe: No you can't. That's my policy. Whatever happens, I don't let anyone get hurt. You can even turn me in if you wanted too.
Jeanne: *Stares*
Rafe: Go ahead. Make my day.
Jeanne: *Smiles*

Then the sino rang

Jeanne: Oh my gosh, I'm late for science!
Rafe: Don't worry about it.
Jeanne: No, that's what you do. *walking*

She was just going as fast as she could without actually running, because you know.. It's against the "rules."

Rafe: What just happened?
Leo: I'm not sure about this, but I think you just got a step closer to Section 4, rule 7.

No beijar or other public displays of affection are allowed in the school.
