AN: This just popped into my head, and I jotted it down as fast as I could. Mostly canon, with some original extra. :3 Oneshot.

I don't own Big Nate


"Hi Chad!" Maya giggled, her cheeks turning slightly red, when she saw Chad covered head to toe in styrofoam balls. "You look Adorable!"

When I look over at chad, he looks like he's just won the lottery. Maybe that's not unusual for Chad, considering he tends to get over excited about things, but this time, I can understand why. It wasn't like last week, when he got excited over a pop tart. Let me explain.

The whole situation went something like this:(comic)

CHAD: M-Mrs Godfrey?

GODFREYZILLA: (Turns around.)What? (Steam comes out of nostrils, plus putrid onion breath. Artur dies from the stench.)

CHAD: I-I think there's a m-mistake on the quiz... I-I j-just wanted to ch-check with you...

GODFREYZILLA: (Snatches paper from his hand. Scans it. Breaths out a long, heavy sigh composed of flame. The paper burns.) Well. I suppose... Yes. There seems to have been a misprint on number three. Extra credit for you, Chad, and come see me after class. All who have finished the quiz, one point off.

GINAORMUS RAGE: B-B-BUT! $ #%*%##%#*€$ &€*£?!

After class...

CHAD: Mrs Godfrey gave me a POPTART! :D :D :D IT'S THE BEST DAY IN THE WORLD!

Enjoy it Chad. It won't happen again.

(End Comic)

Chad's definitely enjoying it this time. I really don't blame him. Maya's pretty cute, after all.

"Did you hear that?" Chad whispers excitedly in my ear. He's practically glowing with excitement. "She said I'm Adorable!"

Great for you, Chad. Go get the girl. Of course, that means I end up being the chopped liver, because just then I hear my name. It's Jenny, but I don't think she's in a good mood at the moment.

"You look like a complete idiot!" She snaps, as she walks off with Artur. Artur doesn't even bother to stand up for me. Arthur's a nice guy and all—In fact, he's the nicest guy I know. When it comes to Jenny though, he's like her pet. I sort of feel bad for him.

Then there's sometimes when I wonder if, by some miracle, Jenny were to fall for me... Would I end up being her pet? I don't like to think about that. There is absolutely no way that is going to happen. But if it means being with Jenny... No. Not happening.

I sigh, feeling slightly depressed. "Wait a minute," I say to Chad, after Jenny and Artur walk off. "How come I'm an Idiot, and you're Adorable?"

Chad only shrugs happily. "Just lucky I guess."

Lucky. Right. Notice my sarcasm? Luck doesn't exist, in my mind, but if there were such a thing, I'd say Chad's got it on him right now.

Chad has his attention set on Maya, and doesn't notice what happens next.

"Hey Nate."

I wince at that voice. Can my day get any worse? I turn around though. It's Randy Betancourt, but he doesn't have his usual gang with him. He does have his usual sneer with him, however. I glare back.

Randy strides up to me confidently. His breath smells like Cheetos. Eww no. I hate faker brands. Cheese Doodles are always on TOP. I wrinkle my nose and take a step back. He smirks, and shoves me hard into a bookcase, where he pins me for a moment. I glance over his shoulder nervously. Of course, Hickey and Chad are both preoccupied. I think I'm doomed.

Randy doesn't beat me up though. Instead, he only laughs, and punches me in the shoulder, enough to hurt, but not a lot. "You look Adorable," he sneers. Then he leaves. Just like that. What a weirdo.

"Nate?" Chad's back to Earth, it would appear. I blink. "What?"

"Why are you blushing?"


AN: How was that? I'd love reviews. And now I should really get back to my other fanfic about these two... I just had to get that one out of my head. :3
