Chapter 4

Bubble's POV

I have been here for almost a week now and I am getting along with my roommate really well. Today is another beginning of the second week. I walk into my art class and go to my original seat. Then I look beside me to see that ocean blue eye boy.

That is weird, I haven't seen him in this class last week. I could have sworn that he wasn't present in this class for a week. He is sleeping peacefully. I wonder why does he look so tired.

The teacher assign us a big project, the project is for us all take a picture of three completely different things. Then try to fit them together, draw them out on a portrait painting using watercolor painting. I look over to see the ocean eye boy sleeping, I decide to move closer to take a picture of his eyes.

"Hey wake up. The class has already started." I shake him a little.

As he was slowly opening his eyes, I take a snapshot just in time. I admired that ocean blue eyes. I look back at him to see that he was scratching his eyes. Then did a little stretch. I walk around the room and take some more picture before coming back to my seat again.

I did a stretch draft first. I giggle along as I am drawing his eyes out right now. I swiftly move around my pencil front right to left until I hear a snapshot. I turn around to see it was the ocean blue eye boy, pointing the camera in my direction. I look up and blush a little as he moves the camera away from his face smiling for me.

"Now would you care to tell me your name, since you kind of take a picture of me too." He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.

"My name is Bubble." I smile brightly at him so that he won't feel nervous.

"My name is Boomer." He smiles back, "So you don't mind me drawing you right?"

"No, since I am drawing you too." I giggle.

We both went back to our drawing. I am still wondering where would he put me in his painting. I am getting curious. I want to take a glance but I don't want to look too desperate. I guess that I have to be more patient first since it is due by the end of class. Tomorrow the art will be display anyway. I just have to wait until tomorrow. I walk out of class to be approach by a group of girls.

"Did you take a picture of one of the RRB boys?" A girl asked.

"Who?" I look at them confuse on what is RRB.

"RRB stands for the Rowdy Ruff Boys and Boomer is one of them." A girl looks tired of explaining it.

"Oh yes, I did."

"We would like to have that picture." The girls plead.

I don't understand what is going on but I gave them the picture anyway since they seem to like Boomer really much.

"Sure! Here you go." I gave them the picture that I have a print out since I already finish using them during art class anyway.

They squeal and thank me, walking away still talking about Boomer. I giggle on how popular Boomer is.

Buttercup's POV

YES! THAT BUTCH BOY ISN'T HERE TODAY TOO! YAY! I get to have another day without any girls glaring at me. \(^_^)/

I jump around starting to become girly and jump up and down. That Butch boy wasn't here in class for almost a week during last week. I was hoping that today he will be gone too! And he is! YAY!

I get to have another relaxing day in Mr. Surge class. Even though we still have to do all the drill but I am starting to get used to it. Lastly, the teacher has been letting us to finally play some sports. I am so happy right now.

1-hour pass…

My happiness just died. That Butch boy came back with his friend Bandit. I don't think that Bunny and Bandit is in a good term. I guess that they both still can't forget about that incident last week. Man… they should really forget about it. Since they are the only two people that is at the scene at that time too. Also, Bunny is wearing a short inside, she shouldn't be worrying about it.

I look around and start to see some girl giving me a warning look. I am so going to die! I want to beat them up so bad, especially their eyes. I want all of them to become blind so that they won't be glaring at me anymore.

I was expecting them to come and annoy us but they didn't. They just went to sit on the bleacher and Bandit even falls asleep. Butch gave a note to Mr. Surge and he just nods. Weird… Mr. Surge isn't shouting. Butch didn't make it to the bleacher, he fall asleep during the half way there. He was lucky that he wasn't blocking anyone's way or else he would have been run over.

Girls quickly move toward them and take some picture of them sleeping. I find it to be really ridiculous. (-_-') I don't want to be involved with them if they are this crazy about that RRB thing. At least, I still have another peaceful day.

Bell's POV

I have a free block in the morning so I don't actually have to wake up early but I did. I want to go to the music room to play some instrument. I take a sneak peak around the music room to see if there are any students. I slowly open the door to see a big theater. Rows of chairs like watching an orchestra. I wonder why would the school an orchestra when no one will be watching anyway. Or maybe people do watch orchestra too just like me.

I close the door softly and walk carefully. Since the only light is shining down at the grand piano on the stage. I decide to play the piano today because that is the only instrument that I see. There is also a light so I can see the keyboard clearly.

I slide my finger down the key and I could tell that this piano is good quality. I thought for a while I decide to play River Flow in You by Yiruma. I smile as I start to think of how I can flow freely now without my parent. I felt like all the tension is gone. My hands don't shake anymore before I start to play. I have more free will to choose what song I want to play. I know that this it's still not all free but at least, I am free from pressure and expectation. I listen to the way I play, I can feel that it is lighter than ever. I have to say that I have never poured so much emotion into a song. When I end the song, I heard someone clasp for me. I jump up like a scared cat.

I look from left to right to see who was clapping for me.

The person approaches forward into the light. The person was behind the curtain all this time.

"I must say, I am impressed with how you play. I was doubting you when you play the violin that time." His light gray eyes glow.

"I… Er… thank you for the…the compliment." I bow down, knowing I just stutter a lot.

"You don't have to be formal. My name is Blaine. It is nice to meet you. I hope that we can play together again like during the time at the shop." Blaine smiles at me.

Even though his smile maybe is just a thin line but I can see that he is happy.

"My name is Bell it is a pleasure to meet you too. I hope we will get to know each other person from today on." I think that I have been smiling a lot since I came here. My smile is more naturally now. And not a fake one that tries to make the adults happy.

Blaine walked toward the piano and sit. He thinks for while and music start to fill around the room. I felt like I flow away. I recognize the intro to be Brahms: Hungarian Dances No.1. He stops and gesture me to go and sit next to him.

I did, when I sit down I look to him and notice that his shoulder is really broad. His hand is bigger than mine and we are not even far apart. Our shoulder slightly bumps a little since I rarely play a duet. I only play a duet with my teacher, I have never played it with someone else before.

I felt nervous thinking that I may hinder him when I am playing. I start to panic a little bit. Blaine must have notice and squeeze my hand. I look into his gray eyes.

"Don't worry, you will fine. Just relax." Blaine spoke reassuringly trying to calm me down.

"Thank you." I look down to the key as Blaine release his hand from me.

Now we are playing a duet piano song on Brahms: Hungarian Dances No.1. I think that we have been playing quite a lot of song as we move on the song after next one. Switching on who wants to play what next by starting the intro.

I think that we have been in the room for a while because we heard the bell ring.

"Let's have a piano duet sometimes again," Blaine suggests.

"Yes, will be happy to play a piano duet with you." I smile nodding my head in agreement.

We walk separate ways. I didn't walk far before some girls come to a block my way.

"Hey you!" One of the girls points at me. "You are violating the RRB fan club rules."

(O_O?) I was surprised because I never broke any rules.

"You broke the most important rule!" The other girl said while the girls behind nodded.

I look at them so that they can continue to say what rule that I have broken.

"In the red book of RRB fan club, rule number 1, it clearly states the new students must not get close to one of the RRB boys. And we have found you getting close to one of the RRB boys which are Blaine. We will now give you a warning, but if we caught you with one of them again. We will humiliate you in front of the whole school." The girl continues.

I just stood there amaze, and scare. I don't know anything about the RRB things but I don't want to get involve. So I just follow their rules so that I won't be humiliated in front of the whole school.

I nodded telling them that I will not go near Blaine again. When they leave, I let out a sign of relief. I guess that I won't be having a piano duet with him unless I look worthy enough for him.

(_ _;)

Bunny's POV

I am so glad that last time Bandit wasn't at the cafe since I still can't forget that moment. It was so embarrassing! (;~;)

I can't concentrate very well. I have never felt this terrible, why does one boy seeing my underwear affect me this much. My friends have been asking me if I'm all right and I would answer the same that I'm fine. I don't know how long will I forget unless I find other events that are funnier or embarrassing than what happen to me. Then I should be fine again.

As I was thinking I bump into the two puff balls known as Princess.

"Watch where you're going!" Princess turns to glare at me. When she recognize me, she glares at me even harder.

"Same goes for you." I glare back at her.

"Do you want me to teach you how to behave when you see me?" Princess voices are filled with annoyance and anger.

"Sorry but I don't want to be taught by a spoiled child." I look down at her. (Hehehe I feel so happy to be taller.) (^0^)

I think that Princess has never seen anyone talk back to her so she is very angry at me.

"YOU-" Princess's mouth was cup by a larger hand. So she came out with only a muffle. She must be swearing at me.

"Princess, remember that you must have a reputation to hold." That person would be Bandit.

I really want to leave since I can't stand seeing Bandit and Princess were going to kill me anyway. I decide to walk away but Bandit decides that he is going to grab me. Bandit pulls me away as Princess is still trying to hold her swearing for her reputation.

We went into a dark corner where no one can see us. Oh great! Just great! Those RRB fans are going to kill me if one of them saw me holding hand with Bandit. I look at my hand and we are still holding hands. I quickly shook his hand off which got his attention at the same time.

He looks stress out too, but I don't understand why. He lowers his head. This is, even more, weird.

"I am sorry! I didn't do it on purpose! I didn't mean to peep." He said while lowering his head.

I think that that is the strangest words that come out, who is trying to apologize to someone. I find it to be very funny even though the events may have caused me some nightmare. But still he made it funny.

I started to laugh and he finds me weird.

"(o.o?)" Bandit looks really confused.

I just kept on laughing.

"So you are not mad at me?" Bandit stills look at me waiting for me to forgive him.

"Hehehe no I am not mad at you anymore." My laughs start to become slower.

Bandit signs a relief and wave to me.

"See you on the next gym class then!" He smiles brightly.

"Bye!" I wave back also smiling.

Blossom's POV

Something is wrong. I look at my table. Bubble seems to be giggling way out of control. Bell look somewhat depressed. Buttercup is unusually happy, while Bunny also happy too. But her energy levels of happiness is somehow off the chart.

Am I the only normal one right now? I am still trying my best to hold back my curiosity.

In my mind…

"~(^_^)~ I know you want to know." — Strange thinking

"Who are you?" — Me

"I am your curiosity. (~^o^)~" — My curiosity

"Why do I even have one?" — Me

"Because you want to know your friend's strange behavior." — My curiosity

"(-_-) No, I don't" — Me

"~(^o^~) Don't be shy just ask them." — My curiosity

"(-_-) I don't want to. It will bother them." — Me

"(~^o^)~ Just do it. It's not so hard." — My curiosity

"Am I crazy?" — Me

"Yes, because you are talking to me. ~(^o^)~" — My curiosity

"(-_-;) If I ask them will you go away." — Me

"Yes, of courses. \(^_^)/" — My curiosity

"Okay then, I will just have to ask them." — Me

"YAY! \(^o^)/" — My curiosity

Out of my mind…

I guess my curiosity wins (-_-).

"So what is wrong with you guys." I felt like I am normal again.

Everyone's heads turn toward me.

I point at all of them.

"I just took a picture of Boomer and some girls like the RRB fan club came to get a picture of him. I find him to be really cute when he is sleeping in class. (^.^)" Bubble giggles as she goes on her dreamland. I guess that she is thinking about Boomer sleeping face.

"Wait! You also heard about the RRB thing!" Buttercup jumps up from her seat.

"Yes! Why?" Bubble look at Buttercup confuse.

"I also met one of them. They keep on glaring at me last week but since Butch wasn't here for one hour and is asleep and not bugging me. No one glares at me. Do you know how refreshing that is!" Buttercup sits back and relax.

"I didn't meet the RRB fans, I only meet Princess and we were in somewhat like a glaring contest. In the end, I made her so angry that her face was all red. It made me feel so good. Then later Bandit just apologizes about seeing my underwear and I laugh. It was so funny!" Bunny hugging her stomach as she was laughing out of control.

"I also met with some of them. They gave me a warning for being too close to Blaine so they let me off the hook this time. Next time they will humiliate me in front of the whole school. I guess that I am still not good enough to play a piano duet with him." Bell sigh in depress.

I didn't expect them to tell me all that fast.

'I told you so!' — My curiosity

'Get away from me!' — Me

'Okay! Love you! (030)' — My curiosity

'I hate my curiosity' — Me

'I can still hear you, you know (-_-)' — My curiosity

"I am sure that everything will be fine. You just have to be patience." I am so bad at comforting people.

I look around to see if anyone is helping me to comfort Bell, but everyone just seems to be in their own world of happiness.

…

I don't understand this RRB thing but I can, at least, figured who is in the RRB thing. RRB boys are Boomer, Butch, Blaine, and Bandit. I just have to stay away from these guys and I won't have to face the same doom as Bell, Buttercup, and Bunny. I still don't understand why Bubble wasn't doom. Maybe she is also popular too. Boys have been recently giving her love letter. Our mailbox will always be full with Bubble's love letter and no boys caught her attention yet either.

I sit down on my desk and preparing for class. The seat beside use to be empty until today. Someone was sleeping beside me. I look carefully to see who it was. I didn't have to think too long to recognize that auburn hair that has the same color as mine. It was that Jerk! He still wouldn't tell his name. That person is so mean.

"Oh pinky, we are in the same class." That jerk starts stretching as he just takes a nice nap.

"Stop calling me pinky, jerk." I turn my face away not wanting to talk to him.

I take a side glance to see that he was frowning a little. Weird… he didn't frown the last time I call him a jerk. We stay quiet for about 5 minutes. Then he starts to fall asleep again. That jerk thinks that he is so smart that he can just sleep in class. I can't stand people being lazy. I decide to go and wake him up.

"Hey, jerkface. Wake up." I nudge him, harder and harder each time until he wakes up. He does not look happy at all. Maybe this is the biggest mistake of my life that I made. Then for a split second his eyes became soft looking but back to flame again.

"You want a death wish pinky," He growls at me.

"I am doing you a favor for not getting in trouble in class." I huff.

"Goody two shoe."

"Sleepyhead."

"Pinky"

"Jerk"

"Stupid bow"

"Stupid hat"

The jerk was about to continue when the teacher calls out our names.

"Mr. Brick! Ms. Blossom! Would you two be quiet at the back."

I guess that is one way to know someone's name without trying that much. Just a couple of insults that are loud enough for the teacher to hear. Then you get to know their name. That was simple.

"So your name is Brick." I turn toward him with a victory smile.

"So much for not getting me in trouble pinky." Brick looks grumpy.

"You already know my name so stop calling me pinky." My voice starts to become louder again but I quickly become quiet.

"I don't care about your name." Brick turns away and starts to pay attention in class.

I sigh and did the same. I can feel that some girls are glaring at me. I think that waking up Brick really is the biggest mistake that I have done.

…

I knew it. It was the biggest mistake that I have ever done.

"Blossom, I am giving you the warning to stay away from Brick, one of the RRB boys," They say.

I felt tired so I just agree not to bother Brick and his naps ever again. I have learned my lesson. I hope that the RRB boys only have five boys since I don't want to be humiliated in front of the whole school. I can understand Bell's and Buttercup's pain now. I hope that I won't see them.

…

"Hey pinky, I guess we're neighbors." Brick wave to me from his small courtyard, while his other friends wave to my friends. Why does god hate me so much!

Flashback…

Normal POV

The girls were all back home, some were feeling exhausted while other just relax. Everyone was having a peace and quiet time until Buttercup notice something.

"Hey, guys. Look we have a small courtyard. I'm going to get some fresh air. Anyone cares to join me?" Buttercup got up and look at us.

"I will." Bubble jump up and walk out with Buttercup to the small courtyard.

"WHAT THE %#$ #" Buttercup scream out after stepping on the courtyard for only a minute.

Everyone in the room quickly got out of the room. To see Buttercup with Butch lying on the ground. Bubble just stood there doing nothing. The girls start to panic and confuse because they have already known about the RRB thing. So if one of them are present the others are also there too!

And then four more guys came out. Those people are none other than Brick, Boomer, Blaine and Bandit. Blossom face palm as she does not want to see Brick at all. Bubble jump up for joy. Buttercup looks really piss off. Bunny just smiles and Bell looks down on the floor.

From the boys side view. Brick smirk and wave at Blossom. Boomer looks to be wild to see Bubble. Butch just lay on the ground unconscious. Bandit smiles back at Bunny. Blaine looks at Bell confuse of her reaction.

What a nice get-together!
