Randy had to walk to school alone today because Howard had gotten food poisoning from eating chipmunk-changas.
"Dang it Howard, this is the third time this month." Randy said into his phone.
"I know, but can't help myself." Howard groaned from nausea. "My parents said that they would talk to the school board about getting a new lunch lady."
"Great, you're stuck at home and now I have to be ready for the lunch lady getting stanked?" Randy whined. He then took a deep breath and exhaled, then spoke slowly and clearly into the phone "Listen Howard I've been giving it some thought."
"You think I need to eat better, don't you?" Howard accused.
"Well that too, but I was going to say that we need invite some more people into our inner circle."
"You want more people to know you're The Ninja?" Howard questioned incredulously.
"No. That is an inner inner circle secret." Randy reassured.
"Well where the juice are we going to find someone on the same popularity level as us?"
"Hey Randy!" The purple haired freshman turned to see Theresa Fowler of the Norrisville High Twirl Team. "
"Hey Theresa." Randy greeted back.
"Howard sick from Roadkill Tuesday Special?"
"Yep. I got him on my phone now, Hold on." Randy pressed a button switching to speakerphone. "Howard I got Theresa here with me."
"Hey Resa."
Just as she was about to answer the low power warning on Randy's phone went off.
"Aw man, I forgot to charge my phone last night. Gotta go Howard, later."
"So just you and me, huh?" Theresa asked nervously
"I guess so." Randy uneasily replied.
"Good." Theresa then planted a light peck on his lips. Randy was surprised at how a something so small could have made his mind go so crazy. "I'm sorry but I've wanted to do that since 7th grade and with Howard not around I thought-" She was cut off by Randy putting his arms around her and pulling her into passionate kiss Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her arms instinctively went around his neck.
The two continued their walk to school, hand in hand and both with smiling faces.
"So does this make us a couple?" Theresa asked.
"Sounds good to me." Randy then gently kissed the back of her hand, which caused Theresa to giggle.
"You're such a dork." The baton twirler then wrapped her arms around his, "But I guess that's just you."
The two approached an intersection where they saw a cloaked figure run to the corner and place a basket and metal case on the ground then ran in the direction it came.
They turned to each other with puzzled expressions then rushed over to investigate.
Theresa went to the basket 'which had something covered by a pink blanket' while Randy examined the metal case. He undid the latches and was shocked to find it was filled with stacks of hundred dollar bills. Theresa moved the blanket out of the way and gasped at the sight of a sleeping baby girl. The infant wore a long-sleeved golden dress with blue and white striped stockings, had Tyrian hair in pigtails. Both teen had one thought on their minds. "What the juice!?"
