Here's the next one! You finally get to know what it's in the notebook!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Wally waited by Kuki's locker after the last bell rang. His class was right outside of her locker, so it wasn't out of his way. He kept thinking back to lunch that day and how everyone seemed to feel like they were all already friends after one lunch together. It was weird, he couldn't remember the last time he and 4 other strangers had just clicked like that.
"Hey," Kuki's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He smiled and moved out of the way watching as she put books into her locker. "Ready?"
"Yeah, let's go." They walked out to his car, and Wally had a hard time figuring out why he was so nervous. There's no way he likes Kuki already, right?
The short ride to Wally's house was silent. Kuki followed him up the stairs to his front door, however he paused with his hand on the knob and then turned around. "My parents are a little crazy, fair warning."
"Okay," Kuki giggled and stepped in after him.
"Mom, I'm home! I brought a friend!"
They heard a small crash from the kitchen, "You haven't brought a friend over in a while!"
Wally sighed, "Mom, please don't start."
Mrs. Beatles came out of the kitchen, smoothing down her ever-present apron, and her boomerang earrings swinging with every step. "There's no way this is Kuki! I haven't seen you in years! You grew up lovely!"
Kuki blushed and was surprised when she was pulled into a hug, "Thank you, it's nice to see you again."
Wally smiled, fully knowing that Kuki didn't remember meeting his mom, "Mom we are going to go up to my room and study for a little bit."
He led Kuki up the stairs into his room, "Sorry about that, and I know you don't remember ever seeing my mom."
She shrugged and placed her backpack on the floor, "She seems nice, I didn't want to make her upset or confuse her."
Wally pulled the notebook out of his backpack, "Thanks for not upsetting her. Leaving me to deal with it after you left."
She laughed and sat on his bed next to him, "Maybe next time."
Wally looked over at her, "When's the next time?"
"I don't know, let's get cracking on the notebook first."
The teens blushed and Wally looked at her again, "Okay, let's see what else 12-year-old me wrote down."
He opened the notebook and the teens took a glance at the next page.
Nigel Uno
He's the leader of our group of friends. He's bald and always wears sunglasses. We used to play in his treehouse every day. Even had sleepovers. He went away for a little while. He might remember things you can't. He can be really intense and focused, but we all miss him. He is a great friend. Try to find him.
"Didn't he sit with us at lunch today?"
Kuki nodded, "Yeah, he said he was a new student. Maybe he came back from wherever it was he went when we were kids."
"Yeah maybe. What do you think 'He might remember things you can't' means?" Wally looked at her, his face scrunched up in confusion.
"I don't know, maybe we should see if he really does know anything?" Kuki shrugged.
Wally shook his head, "Let's see what else is in this weird notebook. Maybe it has the answer to all of this."
Kuki turned to the next page.
Hoagie Gilligan Jr.
He's a geek, but also your best friend. He wears a pilot cap and goggles. But hopefully he ditched them when he grew up. He's into Yipper cards. He's probably a little chubby, he was always like that. He tells these stupid jokes all the time, but sometimes he can actually tell you one that will make you laugh. He's a genius when it comes to building things. He will hopefully still be a good friend.
"Hey, he sat with us today too. This is getting kind of freaky."
Kuki nodded, "I know, it's weird."
"Let's just keep going." Wally reached over and flipped to the next page.
Abigail Lincoln
She was the second in command of our group. Always keeping everyone cool and stopping fights if they ever broke out. She always had her hair in a braid and wore a red hat. She would use that hat to hit us, mainly just me and Hoagie, when we said something stupid. She did this weird thing where she talked in third person. I know she is still cool, she would make a good friend.
Kuki and Wally looked at each other, "We sat with her too…" Kuki started.
Wally nodded, "We did."
Kuki said nothing as she reached out to turn the page. Before she turned it, Wally's mom shouted up the stairs.
"Kuki dear, are you staying for dinner?"
Kuki looked at Wally, "Is that okay?"
Wally nodded, "Yeah, mom she said she'll stay!"
Kuki laughed, "I asked you if it was okay to stay."
"I was going to say yes, so I just saved your voice," He laughed with her.
"Well me and my vocal chords thank you." She turned the page.
Kuki Sanban
I'm not sure what to say about Kuki. She's definitely weird. She's crazy about those cruddy Rainbow Monkeys. She's always really happy. It can get annoying but it's not usually. One thing, don't make her mad. It's not a good idea, she can get really angry. Trust me, not fun, don't do it. Definitely try to find her. If there was one person who I wish you could remember it's Kuki. I've never told anyone this, but I like her. You like her, hopefully. Find her. You won't regret it.
Wally was sure his entire face was red, he looked up at Kuki, who was still staring at the page.
She looked up at him, "Well, do you?"
"Do I what?" He breathed.
She looked into his eyes and they unintentionally moved closer, "Do you regret finding me?"
Wally opened his mouth but no words came out, so he just shook his head. Still leaning closer to each other. Silently praying not to be interrupted this time, he placed his hand on her cheek and tilted his head. Their lips finally met and it was, as cliché as it sounds, pure fireworks. Wally rea and it was, as cliché as it sounds, pure fireworks. Wally really didn't want to stop kissing her, but he didn't feel like pushing her either. So, he broke apart and was glad to see her smiling back at him.
"No, I don't regret finding you," Wally smiled, "not one bit."
