Me: I do not own Wordgirl. Not giving away any plot secrets this time. Scoops's pov. I hope I got him in character along with the rest of the characters.
I glared icily as Violet finally got away from that stupid prat, Hunter. Why on earth was she dating him again? Violet's smile slightly faltered as she waltzed over with her lunch. "So how's the paper going?" Becky asked before taking a bite of her salad.
"Hun?" I said confused. "Oh the paper! Yeah, it's doing good."
"It's well, not good you simpleton." I heard a voice. I turned around to see Tobey.
"Whatever." I shrugged. I noticed Violet poking her food, not making any intention to eat it.
"Why don't you just leave us alone, Tobey?" Becky said crossly.
"I can converse with whomever I choose, Boxford." Tobey said. He narrowed his eyes at her. Oh, boy, not again.
"Well if you always get so annoyed when you confer with us, then why bother in the first place?" Becky questioned.
He likes you. I thought.
Tobey let out a sigh. He looked he was going to say something different before suddenly saying. "Strange. Why didn't you use a simpler word like "discuss" or "argue"? Confer is a word most likely to be used by a certain super heroine." Tobey said casually.
Wait. Was he suggesting Becky was? I couldn't help to let out a giggle.
"What's so funny, Ming?" Tobey said threateningly.
I tried to contain my laughter. "It…it's just so…so…hilarious!" I let out another chuckle. "Becky didn't even know what the word perfect meant!"
"Scoops!" Becky squealed as she kicked me under the table. Her face was turning several shades of scarlet.
Tobey smiled slyly. "Miss Perfect Boxford, didn't know what perfect meant?"
Becky glared. "I- IT WAS THE PRESSURE!" Becky faltered. Her face turned even redder.
Tobey smiled even brighter. "You, of all people, didn't know what perfect meant? It's one of the simplest words! Practically all 1st graders know that word!"
"Will you just stop it?" Violet shouted. The three of us all turned toward her. She was near tears. "I…I'm so sorry. I just-" Tears now were running down her face. I caught a glimpse of purple on her cheek. "I…I have to go." She then ran off out of the cafeteria.
"What's wrong with her?" Tobey inquired. He might not be one of Violet's closest friends, but it was evident something was wrong.
"I don't know." Becky whispered.
I looked at her shocked. She normally knew whatever was going on with Violet. "I'll go check on her." I volunteered softly. I got up silently and left the cafeteria.
"I hope she's all right." Becky said. Tobey nodded slightly in agreement.
