Caleb slammed his locker shut and slung his backpack over his shoulder. He had an awful day and wanted to call some of his buddies. Everyone, well, at least everybody he knew, already had dates to the Sadie Hawkins Dance, except him. The deadline for signing up were tonight at 8:00 and nobody had asked him yet. He really hadn't met a lot of the girls at school yet, well, except the Guardians, which all had dates already.
He passed the girl's bathroom on his way out when he heard some voices talking. They sounded a lot like Will's and Taranee's. As much as he wanted to listen in, he decided it would probably make him feel worse since it sounded like they were talking about the dance, plus he would look like a freak with his ear against the door.
Caleb continued walking down the hall to the front doors. He almost tripped down the stairs when he looked over at the bike rack. His brand new bike was all smashed up. But what was worse is that Uriah and his gang not only trashed the bikes, but got a girl's ankle stuck in the mess too.
"Something wrong princess?" Uriah taunted the girl while throwing another bike into the mess.
Kurt and Laurent laughed at Uriah's joke. Even thought they didn't find it funny, they thought it was best to respect Uriah unless they wanted to be stuffed into a locker like Martin Tubbs.
"Looks like someone is walking home today! That is, if you can get out!" Uriah teased the girl.
She tugged at her ankle but still couldn't get it out.
He had to do something to help her. But what could he do? Its not like this is the first time this has happened either. The gang had done the same thing to Will and Taranee on their first day of school too.
"I hope you mean yourself," Caleb said while walking over to the mess.
"Sure don't, talking 'bout little miss Andriaaaa" he said tauntingly towards the girl.
"My name is Andy!" she spat back still struggling to get out.
"Is my bike in that mess too?" Caleb asked pointing at the pile.
"Ya, so what are you gonna do about it?
"Heh, ya, what cha gonna do? Bite me?" Kurt asked.
Caleb, being a rebel leader and all, was just about to punch Uriah in the face when he saw something in a bush near by.
Blunk had been watching the whole time.
"If you say so" he said while jumping out of his hiding spot and bit he guy in the leg.
"YEOUCH!" he screamed hopping around on one leg. "A giant pickle bit me!"
Mrs. Knickerbocker ran right over when she heard him cry in pain.
"What's going on here?" she asked the boys threatenly
"A giant pickle bit me!" He said again.
She looked at him like he was crazy when she saw the teeth marks on his leg.
"Lets get you to the nurses ofice. I'll talk to you later about this mess of bikes mister!" She said pointing to Uriah as she walked Kurt to the office.
"Blunk…"Caleb whispered.
"What was that thing!" Andy asked Caleb, still in shock of what happened.
"I don't know, here, let me help you." Caleb sat down and tried to untangle the bikes.
After a few minutes of tugging on bikes he finally got her ankle out.
"Thank you so much, I am Andy," she said.
"I am Ca…huh? What is that?"
Caleb's backpack was vibrating like crazy. I must have been his cell phone. Normally it doesn't vibrate unless something is wrong though.
"I'm sorry, could you hold on a sec?" he said to Andy while pulling out his phone.
"Hello…Oh no…Ok I will be right over." "I gotta go Andy, maybe we can hang out sometime?" he said while hopping on his bike and then he rode off.
"But…I didn't catch you name…" she trailed off but he was too far away to hear her.
