BC's POV
Hi, my name is Buttercup Utonium. I am the middle child of triplets and a part of the super hero group called the PowerPuff girls. When we turned 8 years old, the RowdyRuff Boys decided to give up the life of crime and we became best friends. Now, I'm 13 years old, a 8th grader and still the bad tom-boy I was when I was 5.
A little over 4 months ago I started to notice and like boys. The first and only boy I had a crush on was Butch Jojo, my enemy since creation until 8 years old, but best friend from 8 to 13 years old. I had my reasons for liking him. I didn't go gaga for him just because of his looks, but his personality. We both liked to pull pranks in school, skateboard, we both like the same music, and we often find ourselves finishing each other's sentences.
I woke up early this Monday morning. I was really excited to see Butch. It was the day after spring break and I was eager to see his oh so familiar face and smirk. On occasion, I would see his dazzling smile that would just melt my heart. I put on a green shirt that reached to my butt, Capri pants that ended right above my knee, black converse and green socks.
I flew down the stairs and nearly bumped into my little sister Bubbles. She was wearing a baby blue tank top with a jean jacket over, a jean mini skirt with silver sequins, and baby blue ballet flats. Her hair was in her usual pigtails, her hair now reaching her elbows.
"Um Bubbles to you have something I could tie my hair up with?" I asked her. She nodded and got me a black ribbon. I tied my mid-back long hair into a ponytail, my bangs to the side, passing my chin. I quickly painted my nails green with a single black star in the middle. I put on my fingerless gloves and grabbed my green camouflaged book bag. I flew to school alone knowing Bubbles and Blossom would wear skirts so they'd walk. I landed right next to my friend Butch.
"Hey Butch!" I said.
"Hey BC!" he said pulling my into a bone crushing hug (to a human it would be bone crushing). He let go of me and tilted his head.
"New hair style?" he asked. I nodded sheepishly.
"Yeah it grew a lot during the break," I explained. He nodded and turned to look at the scenery around him.
"It feels weird coming back here after such a long break," he said. I felt a smirk appear on my face.
"Do you know what would make it feel like we never left?" I asked still smirking.
"What?" he asked now smirking as well.
"A welcome back prank," I said smiling deviously. He nodded.
"We'll talk about it during lunch. We could perform the prank tomorrow," he said getting excited. I smiled and nodded.
'It's a date' I thought. His brothers called to him and he waved good bye, leaving me in my own fantasies. Many of my fantasies contained me and Butch kissing.
"Hey BC!" Brick called to me. I ran up to him.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Well we were going for a guys night out and we wondered if you wanted to know if you'd be interested in coming. You know we always think of you as one of the guys!" Boomer said. I frowned.
'One of the guys? So Butch probably doesn't even see me as a girl he could date but as one of the guys' I thought. I shook my head.
"Naw I think I'll pass guys," I said gloomily and walked towards my sisters. As I predicted, they both wore skirts. I even caught Brick and Boomer looking at them! I sighed. Nobody ever looks at me like that….especially Butch.
I walked into the halls of the school and sadly took out my books. I headed towards homeroom and sat down in my seat. The morning announcements came over the speaker.
"Good morning students. I have a very special announcement. We are holding cheerleading tryouts tomorrow after school. Now in other news….." I heard the principal say. I started to zone out. Like Blossom said, I have a short attemption spasm. Or was it election spare? I don't remember cause I wasn't paying any attention to her at the time.
TIME SKIP TO LUNCH
I sat down next to my sisters at our regular table. I sighed sadly. Bubbles looked at me.
"What's wrong Buttercup?" she asked. I quickly realized that I looked sad and changed my expression, I soooo don't want to tell my sisters that I'm having boy trouble. Sooner or later I'm going to have to but not now with like 60 other kids around.
"Nothing" I said. She narrowed her eyes.
"You can't fool me Buttercup. I want you to tell me what going on," Bubbles said darkly. I cringed and nodded.
She smiled. "Okay! Lay it on me!"
"Well I like this guy and he thinks of me as one of the guys. What do I do?" I explained lowly. She nodded.
"Well, find out his ideal woman," she said.
"Ideal woman?"
"Yeah, like what he wants in a girl. Find that out and it'll be smooth sailing from that point on," she said. I nodded.
"Thanks Bubs."
"Hey guys, what did I miss?" Blossom asked sitting down next to me.
"Oh well", Bubbles started but stopped when I gave her a cut-it-out look. "Never mind."
Blossom gave her a questioning look but dismissed it. The rest of lunch went on slowly. Butch and the others didn't come to the table until lunch was half over. I didn't really talk, I was too busy trying to figure out what Butch might see in a girl. I got nothing! I'm going to need his brother's help. Boomer is just well goofy; I'm going to have to ask Brick.
"Hey Brick can I talk to you in the hall?" I asked. He nodded and ruffled my hair. I got up and followed him into the empty school hallways.
"So what's up BC?" he asked. I looked down at my feet. I felt my cheeks get red.
"Um Brick can you help me out with something?" I asked with my head still down.
"Anything BC" he said. I nodded and looked him in the eyes. His red eyes were full of concern but they bored into my green ones.
"I like your brother," I said as bluntly as I could.
"But BC, you know he's dating you sister," he said jokingly.
"Not the blond haired idiot you ass. Butch. I like Butch and I want to know if you can help me," I said.
"With what? Just ask him out or something," he said. I sighed at his stupidity.
"But I kinda need to know what he wants in a girl. So, could you do me a favor and find that out for me?" I asked blushing furiously.
"Ah ok and don't be embarrassed BC. I think it's cute," he cooed.
"I'm not cute," I said, my embarrassment vanishing. He chuckled and put me in a headlock while we went back to our table. I took his hat and ran for it.
"Hey Boomer catch!" I said as I threw Brick's hat at him.
"Huh?" he asked and the hat hit him in the face. Wrong move. Brick scooped up his hat and lightly punched my arm. I laughed. Brick would make a great older brother.
TIME SKIP TO LAST PERIOD (I'm lazy :P)
Well school went good. I'm very good at covering my feelings (trust me I've had plenty of practice) when I was around Butch. School would have went better if Butch would stop talking about the "hot chicks". As soon as the last period bell rang, I took my seat right up front next to Brick.
Instead of listening to the teacher rant about god knows what, me and Brick discussed our plan. We had to write on a note so none of the others could hear us (even in the lowest tone of voice, we could still hear each other).
Brick: So what should I do?
Me: WHAT? You're asking me? And you call yourself a leader!
Brick: You don't expect me to come up with a game plan by myself, do you?
Me: Yes! That's exactly what I suspect!
Brick: Ok when school lets out, hide behind the blueberry bushes. Me and Butch will be talking.
Me: Okay.
Well then, it was settled. I was going to hide behind the blueberry bushes afterschool and eavesdrop on Brick and Butch. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I was so excited! I'm finally going to get my man!
Me: so how'd you like the first chapter? Second chapter coming soon!
Butch: R&R!
Buttercup: or I'll have to gut you like a fish! :P
