so far the story is going very well , i like this book .jericho and his friends josh and kofi have been choosen to be warriors . A warriors is a distink club of the school . only a hand full have been choosen to be a warrior. so it is a honor to the students of the school .jericho wants to be a warrior becuase he thinks if he gets in thr group he will get the girl he wants. i understand where he coming from though, at some point of my life when i was younger i used to think i had to be with a certain group to get the girls because they were the ''cool kids''. but eventually i got it through my head that its not the people you chill with its about just being yourself . when i was reading this book , jericho , josh , and kofi were in the lunch room eating and the warriors walked in all cool and what ever . they came up to jericho and his friends , they aasked them if they wanted to be warriors , and then left the lunch with everyone's eyes on them as they walk . i thought at first when i reading that part that the warriors was going to grab them and take them out the lunch room and bring them to their leader.
