Deuce looked at her and smiled. The warmth in his stomach was welcoming yet it was strange and he didn't want any part of it. He looked away from her at his lunch. His feelings of happiness turned to despondency. Her grabbed his metal fork, and cautiously he poked at the mysterious goop on his tray. It wiggled, and although he was disgusted, he smiled.
"Cool," he says in excitement. Before he knew it, Ty struts towards his best friend with a similar blue tray, and similar gray goop. He sits next to him and disappointedly looks at his food. He arches a brow and looks to Deuce for an explanation.
He only shrugs, and Ty copies Deuce by poking the goop with a fork, and smiling once it jiggles. "So," Ty puts his fork down after a moment of laughter, and a ton of jiggle. "What's new?" He asks casually.
Deuce shrugs and stares at the food on his tray. "Eh, nothing much." He looked at him, "Got a D in science for talking to this girl. Got a D in math for talking to this girl, but I got a C- in Spanish for talking to this Spanish girl." He smirks.
"Would this girl be the same every class period?" He asks, his brows raised and a small smirk formed on the corners of his lips.
"Yep," he pops the 'p' and looks back down at the goop. "What is this stuff anyway?" He asks, poking it once more.
"That my friend, is disaster on a tray," Cece soon arrives as she stands behind the two friends. Ty and Deuce look behind their shoulders and smile at Cece. She, like Ty and Deuce, is holding a tray full of mystery. The tray itself hugged her stomach just above her breasts, as her arms went under the blue plastic, and her hands met to greet the tray.
"Hey Cece, wanna sit?" Ty asked. She thinks it over, and after a moment she shrugs.
"What the heck, why not?" She sits next to Ty, dropping her tray on the table.
"Why aren't you sitting with Rocky?" Deuce asks looking over at Rocky. She was sitting at the lunch room table, her head buried in a book as she sat alone. She brought her lunch, 'lucky her.' Deuce thought. the feeling of warmth came back to him, and he quickly looked back at Cece for an explanation. It quickly faded.
Cece sighed. "Ever since she bought that stupid book it's like she wants nothing to do with me anymore. You know, last night I called her, she didn't answer." She points to Ty and Deuce with her fork to show her exaggeration. "I bet she was reading the dumb book."
"Well, what book is it?" Ty asks as he watches Cece poke her goop.
"Huh," she looks at him with a smile on her face from the fun of poking th jiggly food. It fades once she sees Rocky so intrigued with the saga in her hands. "Midnight Howl." She grips the end of the table in anger. "It's about this Werewolf who falls in love with this chick and they end up having, freakish hideous Were- human babies."
"Were- human babies?" Ty asks.
"Their hairy hideous babies I don't know I haven read the book." She sighs, "The only time she asked to hang out was to see Midnight Howl, the movie. Let me tell you, the Werewolf was hot, the babies were not."
"Why don't you try telling her how you feel. Maybe she'll come to her senses. I mean, how long can a person read one book?" Deuce asks as he laughs. Ty soon joins in but Cece stays normal.
"Deuce," she replies flatly.
He's still laughing when he responds, "Huh?"
"There's five books. Each over 500 pages long."
The two's laughing dye down, "Are you serious? That's horrible." Ty responds.
"Yeah, how can she read that stuff? I can barley read my text books."
Cece looked up from her goop. "We have text books?"
Shake it up!- Shake it up!-Shake it up!- Shake it up!-Shake it up!- Shake it up!-Shake it up!-
"Psst, Rocky," Cece whispers loudly across the room towards her friend. To her relief she wasn't reading, she was taking notes. However, due to Cece's hard work at trying to her friend to notice her failed, the rest of the class noticed. "Rocky," she whispered loudly once more.
The teacher turned his heels and squinted his eyes towards the classmates. "Who's talking?" No one spoke, so he turned back around and continued to write on his chalkboard.
"Rocky," she whispers again. This time, she stands silently, waving her arms around. Not even a glance. She sighs and sits, folding her arms over her chest. After a moment of boring molecules, she got an idea. Quickly, she took out a sheet of notebook paper, and jotted down in her neat handwriting. She flung across the room, only to hit the teacher in the back of his head.
Cece placed her hands over her mouth as the class burst out into giggles of laughter. He turns around and bends down, grabbing the sheet. "Who's is this note that was throw at the back of my neck?"
Hesitantly, Cece raised her hand, standing in the process. "That would be me, Mr. Blackburn."
"Cece Jones," he laughed, "I should have expected it." He walked towards her desk and placed the note on her desk. "Read it."
"Read it?" She asked, flabbergasted and in confusion.
"Read it now, or I will. In front of the class."
"No," she quickly says, looking back at Rocky who's brows are arched in in confusion. "I'll read it." She grabs the note of her desk and quickly walks in front of the room, unfolding the note, and brushing the red curls out her face and behind her pale ear.
She cleared her throat and began, "To: Rocky, From: Cece," she sighed, "Rocky- Roadie, why have you been ignoring me? I text-ed you like, 20 times this week and you just say 'hey?' I only get to see you on Shake it up! Chicago and school. And school's for losers. You're overly obsessed with this stupid book, it's not like Jake is going to come out of the book and love you and have freakish babies with you. Love, Cece," she looks up, her face as red as her hair.
Laughter was heard from the students, and Rocky sinks in her chair, embarrassed, and outraged. Cece sits, looks at Rocky, and mouths, 'I'm sorry.' As Mr. Blackburn tries to calm the students, Rocky shakes her head at her, crosses her arms and looks ahead.
Shake it up!-Shake it up!-Shake it up!-Shake it up!-Shake it up!-Shake it up!-Shake it up!-Shake it up!-
"Rocky wait! I'm sorry I didn't mean to! Rocky slow down I can't run in these heels!" Cece shouts, running after Rocky as Cece gripped her own pink backpack. Rock just shakes her head and walks away from her, not slowing down a bit.
They're soon enough at the apartment, Deuce and Ty are sitting on the steps, eating pizza, real food. "Rocky stop," she grabs Rocky's forearm and pushes her towards her. Rocky stops, and Deuce and Ty watch as they bark.
"No, you stop Cece. Stop acting insane, stop embarrassing me. Let me be me!" She shouts.
"What are you talking about? I was trying to get your attention but you wouldn't look at me! It's not like you were trying to impress anyone in their."
Rocky's jaw drops, "Are you serious? Rocky, I told you I like Aaron Powers and what do you do? Say I love Jack and that we're getting mutant babies?" She snaps.
"Oh yeah," she Cece says, suddenly realizing her mistake. "Look, I'm sorry. This is what best friends do. We embarrass them in front of their crushes and insult their books." Cece places a hand on Rocky's shoulder. "It's what best friends are for." She smiles.
Rocky takes a step back, causing Cece's hand to fall. "No, best friends don't give away their best friends crushes."
"Okay, that was one time and you got over him." Cece defended herself, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Cece, I never got over him. I still like Aaron!"
"Oh yeah," Cece says again.
Rocky rolls her eyes. "Fine, what if I tell your crush you like him?"
"Oh please, my only crush is-" her head snaps up, "you wouldn't."
"Ty, Cece loves you." She says loudly staring at Cece, her arms crossed her chest as she easily confesses.
"Oh, you did!" Cece runs towards her, and Rocky quickly runs away. Ty, who's now taken back, stands with Deuce as they quickly go after the girls. Deuce took hold of Cece, while Ty took his little sister.
"You two need to chill." Ty says, gripping his hold on his sister as she tries to break free.
"I can't believe you did that Rocky. I thought you were my friend?"
"Well, I can't believe you did what you did. I thought you were my friend?"
"Look, can we all be friends?" Ty asks, gripping harder on his sister as she struggles.
"Not until Rocky apologizes." Cece barks.
"I won't apologize until Cece apologizes."
"Just apologize!" Deuce says getting quite annoyed.
The two girls looks at each other, "No!" They say in unison, crossing their arms across their chests.
