"Vanellope Von Shweetz!" I heard a voice call. I rolled my eyes. Only when Ralph was especially exasperated with me would he call me by my full name. (Which, by the way, was quite a lot.)
"Whaaaatt?" I replied loudly. Just trying to get past the message that I was very busy.
But no. Mr. Get-Your-Ass-Over-Here just kept calling me, calling me, like I was Jennifer Lopez or something. As you can see, I'm not a spunky little kid anymore. No, siree. No way, Jose. No—
"VANELLOPE!"
Oh, I forgot all about him.
You see, we've been living together for a while. (Not like that. He's, like, 20 years older than me.) You know, in the cave. The mountain pretty much regenerated when I became president, so since then, we've been living the dream.
I walked clumsily over to Ralph. "Finally!" He scolded. "You haven't even changed yet. Come have some lunch."
"No comprendo, senor," I joked. When I got no response, I sighed and rolled my eyes. "I'm not hungry," I grunted before running over to my room and hopping onto the bed, swinging my legs and stifling a laugh at the look on his face.
Suddenly he smirked. "We're having pizza," He said quietly.
I squealed and hopped up from my bed. I was about halfway to running over to the kitchen when I saw him. "I mean, uh, I'm suddenly hungry," I said hastily, a terrible cover-up. He chuckled.
"Shut up, stinkbrain." I ran to eat my lunch.
After eating the meal (which was, in fact, SPINACH pizza), I grabbed the phone and ran to my room. I sat on my bed and dialed away.
"Hey, Crumb," I drawled into the phone, doodling a little drawing in a notebook. I lied on my stomach and swung my legs.
"So, are you going to tell him?"
I felt my face growing hot. "I don't know," I admitted. I sighed. "I don't know how."
"Ah, tough."
"I know." I groaned and rolled onto my back. "Hey Crumb?" I said quietly.
"Yeah?"
"…Should I?"
"I guess."
I slowly nodded. "You know what?"
"I'll do it."
"Hey, Rancis!" I said happily, approaching my best friend.
"Um, hi," he replied, almost uncertainly. "Are you okay?" I asked him quetly. I touched his forehead softly with the back of my hand. My face was beginning to get hot. I pulled away.
I looked around awkwardly. "So, how was your day?"
"Good." He smiled at me. I grinned back.
He snapped back to reality. "Mall," he said quickly. I raised my eyebrows. He chuckled. "Let's go to the mall," he repeated, pulling me along.
"Sweet mother of monkey milk!" I suddenly exclaimed, running for a swimsuit store. "I love this!"
Rancis rolled his eyes up, and I giggled. Then I spotted someone out of the corner of my eye.
"Jubi!" I squealed, running up to her and hugging her. She was accompanied by Crumbelina, too. I looked at Crumb, then at Rancis, who was turned with his back to us. She looked at Jubileena and nodded at me, letting me know that she had already told her. Jubes gave me a knowing look.
I turned around, called Rancis over, and smiled to myself as the girls gave me a little push. "Um. Can I talk to you, Rancis?" I asked.
Rancis laughed. "We're talking right now."
"No, I meant in, uh, private," I explained, whispering the last word. Rancis's eyes widened for a second. "Oh."
We walked over to a part of the mall that wasn't so busy, and I leaned against a railing. "Okay—" I fell backwards before finishing my sentence.
I felt a pair of lean arms pick me up behind my back. I also felt my face growing hot again. "Thanks," I squeaked. He turned back to me. "…Now, what was that?"
"Do you wanna, um, go get an ice cream later?" I managed out.
Rancis laughed a bit. "Well, sure, of course we can," he said gleefully. "Why is it private? I mean, we're best friends, right?"
I pursed my lips. "Rancis, it's private because…because…"
Just say it, Van.
"Because I don't want to go as just friends."
BOOM. Bomb dropped. Rancis stared at me like I was crazy. I tucked a strand of raven-black hair behind my ear, my eyes downcast. A sprinkle fell out of my hair and I smiled a bit. I saw through the corner of my eye he was shaking his head in disbelief for a second. "Er-um-sure," he managed out. I was about to tell him he didn't have to, but he had already ran away.
"Ouch! Jubileena!" I covered my ears while she finished squealing like a chipmunk in a blender. She grinned. "Sorry!" she said, her voice still high. "I'm just excited!"
Crumbelina smiled. "Yeah, finally you had the guts, Van," she praised me, giving me a fist bump. "I dunno, he ran away," I admitted, sighing. Crumb and Jubileena looked at each other and smiled.
"What?"
Silence.
"Tell me!"
"Okay, okay," Jubileena groaned melodramatically. I smiled to myself and rolled my eyes as she continued.
"A while ago, Rancis told Crumb that he had a crush on somebody," she began. Crumb finished for her. "He said he wanted some help asking her out. I said maybe he could buy y—um, her something."
"Yep!" Jubileena said excitedly. "And then she asked who it was, so she could know what his crush liked, and you know what he said?" My eyes widened. Was she serious? Could it be?
Crumb grinned at me, her eyes shining. I knew what was coming, but I didn't think it would hit me so hard.
"Vanellope."
I stood there, barely believing what they had just told me. But my girls wouldn't lie to me, right? I scanned them.
Both sets of eyes were staring at me eagerly. So I knew what I had to do. I grinned before running away.
"Wait, where are you going?" Crumb called after me. "You'll see," I teased, shouting over my shoulder.
And I was gone. I knew exactly where I was going. And I knew that Rancis would be there, of course—it was Rancis's house.
(A/N): Huzzah. Yes, I was too lazy to rewrite this chapter. I did change a couple small things, though.
**NOTE: I didn't write all of Chapter 1, 2, 3, but I did write completely Chapter 4 and up.
