Chapter 3

While they were at lunch, Eureka, Renton, and a few friends began to tell they're most juvinal stories.

"One time, I was riding by on my skaeboard, and this one cop came up to me, askin questions about my bandana and t-shirt", started one boy. "I told him that I just liked the look, but he insisted I was gang related, so he went back to his car, to confirm my ID."

"Man that musta sucked", said his accomplish.

"Yeah, so after a while, he found nuttin wrong and felt stupid", he continued. "So I clowned him about it, he got pissed then tried to arrest me but I broke man." "By the time he got in his car I was miles away on my skate, ya know ?"

Eureka and Renton both gave eachother a look.

"Um, if that were true he woulda went to your house, right ?", asked Renton. "And I doubt that you'd be able to get away from a cop on a skateboard."

"Yo man, lemme finish, shit...", said the kid angrily. "Anyways he called my parents and had me taken to the police station, my mom and dad were pissed, they were so mad that I had to stay at my grandma's house, so they wouldn't kill me."

"Man what a poser.", Renton thought to himself.

"I don't see the thrill or excitement that anyone can get, becoming a fugitive.", stated Eureka."As far as I see it, it's just a poor attempt at attention."

"Yeah !", said some girls who overheard the story. "You boys need to grow up !"

The boys gave Renton a look, suggesting that he's gonna pay for Eureka's comment.

"Eh, um Eureka, we should go.", said Renton.

"Wait, we'll come wih you.", said the girls.

Renton felt the scorn and anger, raging from the table as he walked away. They all circled around the stairs, wich was near the bathroom and the libary.

"So, umm...what do you ladies wanna talk about ?", asked Renton who was trying to hide his nervousness.

"Well tell us about you two.", asked one of the girls, while the other girls tried not to laugh.

Renton tried to think of something, but the expression on the girl's faces, made him uncomfortable.

"Ummm...well...I don't know what to tell you.", said Renton nervouslly while Eureka had a confused look on her face.

"Oh nevermind.", said one girl jokingly.

"Yeah, we'll just read about it", said another girl holding up a magazine of them.

As Renton and Eureka walked to class, Eureka was confused on why Renton wouldn't answer the question.

"Renton, I haven't done anyhing to embarrasse you, have I ?", asked Eureka.

"No No, of course not Eureka, why ?", asked Renton confusedly.

"Well, you didn't want to tell them about us, I guess I just got the impression..."

"Eureka, trust me, I love you, and I love having you with me", said Renton. "I just felt kinda awkward discussing our relationship, to all those girls.

"How's that ?", asked Eureka.

"Well, I didn't want to say the wrong thing and having everybody either snobbing or hating us.", said Renton.

"Well, try not to over think the situation", said Eureka somewhat cheerfully and relived.

They walked into the classroom, ignoring the very few looks they had gotten, and Renton tried not to do anything embarassing. As class went on Renton felt he would die from boredom and was a little distracted during class acivities, in wich he was called on. But made up for it around the the end of class, by getting all his questions right.

"Man,I've been zoning out", said Renton.

Renton let out a sigh.

"Man I really hate school, good thing I only have to go one year at this til I can take my GED, and get the heck outta here, he said to himself."

"Renton, there's only one more class left, and it's math.", said Eureka.

"How is hat suppose to make me feel better ?", Renton groaned while leaning on Eureka.

Eureka gave him a hug and tried to drag him on to the classroom.

--

Renton was able to survive through math class do to a partner assignment he got to do with Eureka and two other friends. They joked around with the project, but not enough to get them in trouble, until the bell rang.

"FREEDOM !", Renton shouted in his mind with excitement.

Him and Eureka rushed from the school and back to the house.

"Thank God it's Friday, huh Eureka ?", said Renton.

"Yeah, no homework.", said Eureka joyfully.

"What do you want to do now ?", asked Renton.

"Well I'm going to do a little studying then watch TV", said Eureka. "One of my favorite shows are on."

"Studying on a Friday ?", Renton thought to himself with distaste. "Hey how about when your done studying, we can go check out the carnival, that I heard was coming to the city's mall ?", asked Renton.

"Really, that sounds like fun.", said Eureka in agreement. "I'll go prepare something to wear."

"Something to wear ?", asked Renton.

Renton tried to avoid his perverted thoughts, but ultimately failed.

Talho was telling Holland about the Gekko's needs but was being completely ignored.

"Hey I've been getting up a bunch of calls from Renton and Eureka.", said Talho.

"Huh ?", said Holland, who just got attentive. "Those two actually got they're tounges out of eachothers mouth's to actually make a phone call ?"

"Yeah, and I guess they really want to talk to us.", said Talho.

Talho got a sinister thought in her head, while Holland got some coffe.

"Maybe they need some advice about, well I don't know, maybe...SEX !, she yelled.

Holland choked on his coffe and got some of it on his shirt.

"WHAT !?", yelled Holland.

"Yeah, Renton left a message asking for tips and suggestions", teased Talho.

Holland was becoming infuriated but tried to keep calm.

"Well...they're married...it's only...cough...natural.", he said through his teeth.

"Wow, you think so ?", asked Talho evily. "Well I'm gonna give'em some pointers then.", she said picking up the phone.

"WAIT !", yelled Holland.

Talho bursted into laughter, admiting it was all a joke, much to the frustration of Holland.

"Hey how about we go visit them though?", asked Talho.

"Sure, why not.", said Holland with aggrivation still in his voice. "Hopefully seeing our baby, may convince Renton to wait.", he said.
