Hey guys! Guess what? Some chapters might be delayed because one, my sister has taken control of my laptop. Two, because I have no time on my laptop anymore. But I will assure you that these chapters will be done in an orderly fashion! :D
So anyways, enjoy this chapter! :)

Chapter 3: Remembering – Blossom
"I've seen a few of my enemies turn into really cool people." He said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Like who?" I slowly turned my head to face him. I looked as his features. He not only had on a red jacket, but he also had red hair and blood-red eyes.
"Oh, just a few girls used to beat up me and my brothers at school a while back."
"Ha ha. You got your asses kicked by a few girls? That's weak!" I laughed.
"Yeah, but one time we did win a fight. Or at least I did. I took one of the girls' books and ripped out the pages. Then she smacked me and the teacher saw what she did and she got time out for a whoole ten minutes!"
"That's funny, I've gotten in trouble by Ms. Keane for slapping a boy who ripped the pages out of my books…" I thought about the memory. It was really funny. There were three boys that used to be out to get us all of the time. Always teasing my sisters and I. And oddly enough, we all looked similar to each other. Almost as if each of us had our own set of twins. Although, us girls and the three boys were our own set of triplets.
Anyways, the boy that would always pick on Bubbles was named Boomer. He was blonde-haired and blue-eyed like Bubbles. Very stupid too. Well, we used to call him something like "dumb-dumb" or "dumb-blonde" and "freckle boy" because of all of those freckles he had. And Butch was the boy who would tease Buttercup. He always liked her though, you could tell. He would beat up Mitch before he would even consider punching Buttercup in the face. Even though he did almost every day. And Brick… he was my teaser. He would always pull my hair and call me nerd. One day a week he would be nice to me and let me wear his red baseball cap and I let him wear my pink bow just for the fun of it. He wasn't really that bad when he was nice like that. But on the rest of the week, he would just be a pure demon.
The guy pulled out a small, worn out, red hat out of his backpack. He showed it to me. "I didn't really know if you would remember or not. But it was my lucky baseball cap. I want you to keep it for memories-sake." He told me placing it on my head. I gazed at him.
"Wait… You're Brick?!"
"Yep… Blossom…" he smirked. "I've always liked it better on your head."
"Oh my…" I blushed. "When did you move back into Townsville? And… where?"
"Well, we moved back like a week ago. I live down by our old elementary school. Pokey Oaks Street. Maybe about five or six houses down from there."
"BRICK WOW! You look great! And you're nice to me!" I said in surprise.
"Yeah well, bad habits die down when you're away from the people who brought out the worst in you." He said. "But you know, you also brought the best out of me too." He smiled. Oh gawd. I feel weak in the knees. How didn't I notice him before? I recognized those eyes! He's the only person I know with eyes that red!
"Yeah.. I agree." Was all I could manage to say. I was pretty speechless.
Buttercup
"So, I don't know how our current relationship is going to look like, but what do you say about me coming over today?" Butch asked smoothly. I chuckled.
"Sorry bub, Princess and I have plans at the mall. We're going to get our nails done." I told him. The last part was a lie, only to get him disinterested in going. We definitely don't need a guy ruining our day at the mall.
"Your nails? What a waste of time! But I'll tell you what! If I can go with you girls, I'll pay for your nails! I'll even wait there in the salon!" he offered.
"Buttercup, you can't resist taking an offer like that. I mean, it is his treat! And usually I have to buy everything!" Princess glowed with precision. She loved when guys would do things for her, but it's a little different than how it used to be.
"Yeah Buttercup! I pay, we all have fun!" Butch pouted. I rolled my eyes.
"I think if you came along, then you'd have to pay me for being annoyed by you." I whined. Princess and Butch sighed.
"But Buttercup, wouldn't it be fun to have a guy holding our bags?" Princess persuaded.
"Oh you girls are going a little too far." Butch scolded earning a laugh from the both of us.
"As tempting as that sounds, I'll just have to think about it." I said as we were walking to our second hours. "By the way, Butch, what's your second hour?"
"I don't know." He said.
"Well maybe you should check so you won't be late again." I told him. He cackled at my reply.
"Fine, fine. I have Trigonometry."
"REALLY?" Princess and I said in unison.
"Mister class-cutter is actually smart enough to be in trig?" Princess said.
"Well, there is such a thing as studying. Brick has definitely emphasized that to Boomer and I over these past few years."
"Ugh… Don't get me started on Blossom," I whined. "All she does these days is talk about how important grades will be these next two years. I'm so tired of her so called 'wisdom'."
"Nerds for life! They are so perfect for each other." Princess said. Butch and I gagged.
"Please, the last thing we need is for two nerds to fall in love!" Butch said.
"That just means more nagging and torture for us all!" I groaned. Butch and I looked at each other with worried expressions.
"NOOO!" We both hugged each other dramatically.
"Geez, get a load of yourselves. You're being overdramatic. And so what if they like each other? Maybe it was destined to be!" Princess was beginning to sound a little annoying. "By the way, Buttercup. What is our next class?"
"I… I really don't know. Let me check!"
"Well hurry, the bell is going to ring in two minutes!"
"Oh shit!" I quickly grabbed my schedule and looked over it. I looked at the room number next to us to see where we needed to go. "Right here."
"Well looky here! That's where I have class! Looks like I'm stuck with you guys for another hour!" Butch threw his arms over both of our shoulders. Princess and I groaned as we entered the classroom.
The rest of the day wasn't really horrible. Princess and I managed to have every class with him so far and Butch was trying to be tolerable. Probably so he could hang out with us at the mall today. So when we got to lunch, we met my sisters who had a story to tell as well.
"Did you know that those guys from elementary school are back? Those kids we used to beat up?" Bubbles asked.
"No dip! Princess and I had to endure Butch's annoyance all freaking day!" I told them sipping on my soda. I scanned the cafeteria to see where he was. "I mean, he's cool and everything now, but part of me wants to beat the shit out of him."
"Yeah, you're right, Buttercup. They are a lot nicer than they used to be. Brick said that his old habits have subsided." Blossom added.
"Butch even offered to pay for our nail treatment at the mall today if he could come! For once, I wouldn't have to pay for something!" Princess smiled. Everybody at the table laughed.
"I would have gone, but I have freshman cheer tryouts to judge. Robin told me at the last minute."
"That's what I don't get. She's still nice to you, but she's an evil bitch to the rest of us!" I pointed out to Bubbles. Robin was relatively nice to Bubbles in a way that wasn't fair. I mean, Robin was still an ass to Bubbles, but she treats her as if Bubbles was one of her little slave friends which is twenty times better than how she treats me.
"Robin is just jealous of you because you have history with Mitch and she never really had the chance to do that." Princess said.
"She's right, you know." Blossom said sipping on her 2% milk.
"I'm sure of it. But she can have him… I don't even like him." I lied. Everybody glared at me with their eyes saying, 'Are you kidding me?' "Okay, maybe that was a white lie."
"That's an understatement." Princess laughed.
"Well, I am out of his league. He's so high in the school's monarchy. I don't know if I could level up to that."
"Leveling up? Were you talking about video games?" Boomer asked walking over with a tray of food. His brothers were behind him. Brick with two trays of food and Butch with three sub sandwiches in his hands.
"No, girls don't talk about video games." Butch said handing Princess and I a sandwich. "You're welcome!" Princess shot a smile and began eating while I looked at him in surprise. "What? Don't like sub sandwiches?" he asked concerned. "Cuz I'll go get you something else if you want." I didn't say a word. I just looked at him… and he looked at me. I guess Princess noticed everybody looking over at us and started chatting it up.
"Well… Considering Buttercup is the queen of video gamers.. And she eats sandwiches like all day!"
"Is that so?" Brick said handing Blossom a tray of food. Boomer gave Bubbles his tray of food because he bought it for her as well. The girls were also shocked, but not as shocked as me.
"Well, maybe we should test her skill out sometime." Butch winked. I blushed.
"S-sure…" What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I getting all girly around Butch all of a sudden?
"Aaaanywayss… What are you girls up to today? Anything good?" Boomer asked.
"Actually, I have to stay after for freshman cheerleading tryouts. Princess and Buttercup are going to the mall… And Blossom… What are you doing today, Blossom?" Everyone's eyes were on her.
"Well, I don't know really. I guess work on my studies." Blossom said playing with her nails in her lap. Brick patted her on the back and whispered something in her ear. In which I could really care less about.
"Did you see my ears?" Butch said cheerfully.
"What? You look like Dumbo behind those black locks of yours?" Everybody laughed. He and I both smirked in amusement.
"That's very funny Butterfluff. But no, I have gauges!"
"Gauges?" I looked at him as he raised his hair to show his left ear. It wasn't too big, nor too small. It's was the right size for a human being and they were green with black stripes.. or black with green stripes. Either or.
"You know, once you stretch out your ears, they'll stay like that forever." Blossom said. Princess, Butch and I looked at her with disgust.
"Nobody asked for your stupid words of wisdom, Blossom. I think their very…" I looked at him and smiled. "… very suitable." He stuck his tongue out at me and we both smiled.
"Once again, I want to keep my lunch in my stomach." Princess said taking a bite out of her sandwich.
"Hmm…" Blossom raised a brow.
