Wallabee Beatles angrily shuffled through the empty hallway carrying a rugby ball (his) and the distinct smell of chlorine (not his). Wally hated pools ever since, well as long as he could remember though he couldnt pinpoint precise memories, he just an overall dread of swimming. The reason he reaked of cleaning chemicals was because- "They through you in the pool again!?" Kuki Sanban wore a disaproving scowl. "More or less. " he retorted shaking his wet blonde hair. "Ughh why does this always happen, you know if you get on Chads bad side AGAIN youre gonna get kic- " He interupts losing his temper rapidly "His bad side? I did this on purpose raight?" He gestures to himself. "I just walked on up to 'em and asked for it. 'Yes throw me in the pool and practically kill me' " He turns away and covers his face "Do you know how emberrasing it was? One of his friends had to pick me out of the pool. 'cant let the little twerp die' he said " "Wally.." her voice trailed off. She started again "I.. I `m sorry I wasnt thinking. I`m just a little upset is all. You're ok right?" "Yeah I`m" He turns ready to begrudgingly accept an apology. He stops as he notices her fighting back tears "Yeah I`m fine, I think the question is are you alright?" he walks over to comfort her as she sits . "Yes. No. Its complicated." She trys to cry more "Im the only girl on the cheer team without a boyfriend on a sports team and I dont normally care. I just.. get upset that you dont get to do what you love," Theyve had this conversation before. "Youre right sometimes I egg him on I just.." "No no its not that." she interupts "Its Trisha, she says Im 'interupting the flow' of the squad. I dont need to read between the lines I know what she means. I swear ever since we started dating shes been jealous of me. we were friends before and then ooooh I just cant stand her!" Kukis temper, though rarely present is as bad as wallies if not worse. At this point shes fuming and suddenly her anger turns to sadness again "Shes gonna have a vote to get me removed she told me herself" "Just for that?" He asks "She doesnt need a reason she hates me and shes cheer captain, noones going to question it and I dont wanna fight it again." she puts her hand in her face crying silently. "Im gonna lose this Wally! This is all I have!" she starts to sob. He goes to her side afraid to touch her but stumbles over his words trying to be comforting. "You uhmm- You have me." he smiles "All we seem to do lately is fight." she says inbetween sniffles "I dont even know if we have anything in common anymore." she says somberly and looks up at him desperatly before burrying her hands in her face "Are we gonna be ok?" "Of course we are. we may not have any hobbies for awhile but well have each other." he replies offering his hand. She stands and leans into him cueing to put his arm around her. She dries her tears and walks step by step along side him out the High School doorways. "You know what, .. I dont think we ever had anything in common." she looks up confusedly 'But" he follows "We clicked instantly , we never ran out of things to talk about and we felt comfortable with each other, really comfortable. Its just like you said when we started dating. Its like weve already known each other.. for a really long time."
