She was someone I really wanted to be around with. So if I had an opportunity, I would take it. Then I notice she just started opening up to me more because she thought I was gay. The sad part was that I played along with it.
Chapter 1
Hey Kuki,
Ha-ha you're so funny. I would really like to hang out with you more often ya' know? We can get to know each other. ;)
What are you doing Friday night?
Kid
Did you think that was me? Nope, it wasn't. I looked to my right and whisper to Kuki.
"Psst Kuki!" I whisper.
Kuki looks towards me and notices the note I have in my hand. She reaches her hand to grab it while I hand it towards her not saying anything. I could've ripped it, I could've stomped on it. Shoot, I could've told Kid to back off but I didn't. It's not like I don't want to- cruddy no. I want to more than anything. I just can't because the rumors and my "act" will be false. I can't go up to Kid and tell him to back off from Kuki because that would make me look straight.
A couple months ago, it was Kuki's birthday. Everyone gave her a present except me. I know I should've but I didn't. Kuki always remembers my birthday including everyone in TND. She would always save her money for everyone just to give everyone their presents. This was the day it was Kuki's birthday and she was expecting something big from everyone in the tree house. Nigel gave her a pair of glasses. Hoagie gave her an airplane model. Abby gave her a music player. Even Fanny gave her a Rainbow Monkey diary. I, Wallabee, did not give her anything.
Actually, I forgot it was her birthday. I had no idea. Everyone was pressuring me to give her something and when I get pressured into something, I get angry.
Numbuh Five went to my room and talked to me about it.
"You know you have to give her at least something."
I was punching my punching bag.
"Who cares? Why do you guys keep pressuring me about this? So what if I forgot about Kuki's birthday!"
I started punching the bag even more, not looking at Abby. She just leaned on the wall while watching me.
"This is Kuki we are talking about. She is a sweet girl and she never forgets about our birthdays."
I stopped punching and grabbed my water with both my hands. The gloves made grabbing things difficult. I squeezed the bottle to make the water shoot in my mouth. I wiped the sweat on my forehead with my arm.
"Your point is?"
"Listen, all Numbuh 5 is saying is give her some type of appreciation on her birthday. I mean, come on, who gave you those gloves?"
I look at my hands to see the orange gloves on my hands. Kuki gave me these for my 15th birthday. She noticed my old ones started to get worn so she went out to get me some new ones. She said she had to look everywhere for orange gloves. I was really happy that I even said thanks to a girl.
"If you are asking me to give her a present, I ain't going to give no cruddy present! She is just a cruddy girl!" I yelled at Abby. Abby was caught off guard and I went back at punching at the bag in front of me.
"She ain't even mah friend." I said out loud.
I looked at my side for a water bottle to only see a long haired Asian in front of me. She had a plate of birthday cake in her hand. She stared in shock just like she was when she saw the sad abandoned dog commercials. I thought she was going to cry so I stopped punching.
"N-Numbuh 3." Numbah 5 called out.
Kuki smiled and placed the cake on my table next to my water.
"I got you some cake Numbuh 4! Enjoy!"
Then Kuki walked out of the room without another word.
"Dammit." Numbuh 5 said while running to Kuki.
I saw the door slam and my eyes dragged onto the birthday cake on the table. Mine had the orange rainbow monkey on it.
After that one horrible day, Kuki has been barely talking to me. The only time she would talk more than two sentences to me was when we were on missions. When we are walking in school, I see her in the hallway. She sees me too but she never says hi anymore. I eat lunch with the gang as usual and so does she but she doesn't talk to me as much as she does with Nigel, Hoagie, and Abby.
I admit it, I miss her. I miss it when she bothers me with her cruddy Rainbow Monkey stuff. I miss it when she talks about her time with cute furry animals. I miss talking to her. I even tried to see every day if we had more missions so we could socialize more often.
One day Hoagie elbowed me during class.
"Hey what is with you and Numbah 3?"
"I don't know."
"Did you two get in a fight or something?"
"''."
"Geez, I'm just asking. Numbah 3 is never this quiet around you. Usually, you're the first one to know everything."
"What are you talking about?"
"She likes Kid."
"What?"
"What do you mean what? I just told you like two seconds ago. I know your English isn't the greatest but-"
"No, I understand but why does she like Kid?"
"I don't know as much but ask Numbah 5. I bet she knows more."
Then we heard some giggles behind us. I looked behind to see some girls laugh at me. I looked at Hoagie but he only shrugged.
After class, I've noticed the guys walk far away from me in the hallways. One time in gym, I got locked out so I couldn't dress out. Everyone has been acting weird and this day was just a disaster.
I finally dropped down on the couch in the tree house.
"God, today was crazy." I said to myself.
"I'll say." Abby said behind from me. I lifted my head to see her walking towards me.
"I heard you got locked from the boy's locker room."
Numbuh 1 and 2 entered the room.
"Yeah, not just that. These girls have been trying to be best friends with me all of a sudden. And the guys in the wrestling team have been quiet. I don't know what is with everyone lately."
"Well Numbuh 4 there is this rumor that is roaming around about you." Numbuh 1 said.
"Is it about how awesome I am?" I questioned. I couldn't help but gloat on how I'm the strongest out of this whole team.
"Um, no it isn't." Numbuh 2 said. He scratched the back of his head.
All of them looked nervous to tell me what was going on.
"Well what is it?"
"You remember when we got the new Yipper comic and we got really excited?" Numbuh 2 said.
I blushed at the memory. We were so excited that we hugged and jumped up and down. I even planted a kiss on my mate's nose. It wasn't my fault! I was just too excited!
I nodded in response, trying to calm down the blush on my cheeks.
"Well Billy saw it and he told his friends. Then they told everyone else. Then they are telling everyone in the whole school."
"So everyone thinks I'm…"
"Yes, Numbuh 4, everyone thinks you are gay."
So the next day, when I was going to my locker, this jock Brandon went in front of it blocking my way.
"Could you move you're blocking my way from my locker mate?"
"Mate? I'm not your mate, pal."
"Fine then. Could you move though?" I asked. This guy was getting on my nerves. I could bring him down even though he is like five inches taller than me. I didn't care.
"Why should I? I like messing with pricks like you."
"What you say?" I was about lunge at him before someone caught my jacket. I was five inches away from grabbing Brandon's face.
"What the?" I said. I looked behind me to see Kuki dragging me back with her arm.
Kuki went in front of Brandon and looked up at him.
"Hey, could you move? You're blocking my locker." She said with her sweet voice but with attitude. I stayed quiet and let her talk.
"Nuh uh. I know this is Wallabee's locker. Like I said, this is my hobby."
"Just because he is gay, doesn't give you the opportunity to mess with him." Kuki's voice turned scary. It was like the time how we didn't help the mustaches on that one mission.
"Oh yeah? Who is going to help him?" Brandon smirked. Kuki's grabbed Brandon's shirt and yanked him down to her eye level.
"Now you listen here mister, you move away from my friend's locker before I help him move you."
Brandon slowly back away from my locker and walked away from Kuki and I. I looked around me and everyone saw Brandon's retreating back. I smiled.
"Are you okay Wally? I hate it when meanies like that make fun of people just because they are homosexual." Kuki said. Her eyes were getting watery and she looked at me sincerely.
I stared at Kuki like it was the first time I have ever seen her in many years. She was looking at me for the very first time in weeks. And it was only because this guy was bullying me…because I was gay.
"Yeah, I'm good Kuki. Thank you."
Kuki smiled.
"Don't let these bullies mess with you Wally. I'll always be here for you."
Then Kuki and I walked to first period together, letting her think I was gay.
So here I am. I am basically the third wheel. I'm the messenger man while Kuki and Ace are sending each other love letters. I keep looking at the clock so I can get out of this chair and this classroom and this school. I don't want to see Kuki passing notes with Ace. I want to see her reject him and run into my arms while we go to the tree house. But noooo. Wally doesn't get what he wants.
The bell finally rang and I saw Ace go up to Kuki's desk.
"So Friday at 8?" Kid asked.
"Yep!" Kuki agreed. Kid then left the classroom. I got up from my desk.
Kuki jumped up and down and gave me a massive hug. I couldn't breathe but I delt with it for her.
"Wally, I did it! I got a date! Thank you so much! You're my best friend!"
I smiled as I watched my best friend walk out of the class room. Again, I could've stopped her. Deep in my stomach, I didn't want her to go out with anyone. I wanted her to stay in the tree house on Friday night with me and the gang but I didn't do anything.
I thought being gay would make me close to her but not as close as I intended it to be. I saw the black hair sway back and forth as she skipped in the middle of the gloomy hallway.
"Cruddy girl."
Sooo how do you think it went?
I got my idea from watching Kick-Ass. I wanted to see Wally do something that he would NEVER do. I am NOT making fun of homosexuals. I have plenty of friends and family who are actually homosexual and I actually support gay love. I believe if a human loves another human, they belong with each other by marriage or whatever. Love is not law. :)
