"What's Your Name?"
CHAPTER 1
The Girl
"I can't eat another bite!" I said, finishing my pizza.
My friends, Hoagie and Nigel, and I were at the mall, eating pizza at the snack bar. We normally hang out at the snack bar, mainly because Hoagie loves food! Once, he was so hungry, he ate the rotten old boot I caught while fishing!
Nigel, he's different: He's like the leader of the group! But, he ain't the leader of our band!
Did I mention we have a band? We call ourselves, "The Kids Next Door"! I don't know why, but it just came out of my mind like I was related to it somehow.
Anyway, Nigel is a totally serious guy, but Hoag and I always seem to drag him out of his serious attitude for a little while. His ex-girlfriend, Lizzie, who doesn't even know that Nigel never met her, is stalking him! And what the heck is a "Nigie"?
I'm being stalked too: Fanny Fulbright! She's pretty, but her voice sound s like 1,000 violins being played a monkey! Hoagie says he knows he said those exact words about Fanny, but he can't remember when. And her name! Seriously, what kind of name is "Fanny"? A fanny is a butt!
"Hi, Wall-Wall!"
I turned around to see Fanny Fulbright in a green sun-dress smiling at me.
"Hello, Butt-Butt!" Us guys started laughing. We always play a game called "Putt-Putt" on the computer, so it made us laugh. She wasn't amused.
"Wally, I wanna tell you something!" she said, in her stupid voice.
"Well, I'm gonna tell you something first!" I said. I took in a deep breath, and I was about to tell her to get the (beep!) off my back, when I saw a girl behind her, sitting at a different table with another girl.
The girl had long black hair tied up in a high ponytail. She was wearing a green sweater with really long sleeves that covered her hands. She was wearing black pants. Her legs were really thin.
"Who is that?" I asked.
"Her?" she asked angrily. "She's just a stupid-"
But I didn't let her finish, because I pushed her over, to get to the girl. Man, if I weren't in a hurry to get over to that girl, I would've laughed at Fanny with the guys.
Anyway, I ran over to the girl, but she got up and moved away from the table, so I crashed into the table, and got hurt in the unpleasant spot. I got up. Her friend was gone. I looked around for her, and spotted her on her way to the mall door with her friend. I ran after her. They went through the door, and when I got there a few seconds later, the door closed, so I slammed into the door.
The guys ran over to me and Nigel asked, "Are you okay?"
"No," I said, rubbing my head.
"What the heck did you do that for?" asked Hoagie.
"I was trying to catch-up with that girl!" I said, still rubbing my head.
"Oh," said Nigel and Hoagie.
"When you pushed Butt-Butt over, we saw her underwear!" giggled Hoagie. "We thought it wouldn't be fair if we saw her bloomers and not you, so I took 3 pictures of them with my camera! One for each of us!"
"Bloomers?" I giggled.
"Yeah!" laughed Nigel.
We high-fived each other, and laughed about it all the way to Nigel's awesome tree-house, where we have band rehearsals.
For the rest of the day, my mind was cluttered with questions. But the question that was on the top of all of my questions was "What's her name?"…
