Chapter 4 - Slang

"Do you have a book in your hand?"

"Yeah, what's it to ya?"

"Buford, the only things that I've ever seen you have in your hands are either food or Baljeet's head."

"True." The bully shifted in his seat, the book draped over his lap. "But nobody eva' said I could become distinguished."

Adyson shook her head as she turned onto her stomach. "Yeah, like that would happened."

"You neva' know." Buford started to leaf through his book. "I could even make myself British like Ferbo."

"I...don't think that's how that works."

"Just look at this page."

Adyson got up and walked over to Buford to peer at the page. "Buford, this is a bunch of British slang."

"I know. If I start using words like stonkin' and winge, maybe Ferbo's cousins will be more inclined to notice my presence."

"What even goes on in your brain sometimes? You're crazy!"

"You mean barmy, right?"

"I'm leaving." Adyson made a motion to grab her backpack near the front door.

"Hold up, Sweets! I haven't even gotten to the best parts yet."

"No, I'm pretty sure the best parts are behind us, Buford."

"Listen!" Buford pointed a finger at the Fireside girl. "I got no idea what ya going on about, but ya seem to be in some sort of nark. It would be quite fittin' to put a sock in it so you can take a gander at the full monty."

For a second, Adyson's face was torn between amusement and incredulity, and Buford thought he had succeeded in impressing her.

"I don't even think you know what you just said."

And then the moment passed.

"Hey, I do!" Buford looked down at his book, rapidly tearing through the pages. "Just...give me a second."

Adyson slung her bag over her shoulder. "I'm going to head home. Try not to confuse yourself, OK?"

The boy was still rummaging in the book, not paying attention to her. She took the opportunity to make sure she got the last word.

"You are a right pillock. You know that, right?"

"Right!"

Adyson smirked as she showed herself out the door.

"...Wait, what?"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I thought that I would only have to watch a few Achievement Hunter videos to get all of the British slang that I needed. Unfortunately, Gavin didn't give me everything that I needed. Good thing the Internet exists.

I'll probably have the final chapter out tomorrow, provided the subject that was given to me works out OK. That...and I have other stories I need to get out.

Read and review, if you like. Until next time.
