lol thanks for reminding me, I hope this chapter would be better. Thanks!

The next morning, Wally woke up with a pang of dizziness entering his head.

"Agh…" He groaned. Then to make to make it even worse, he rolled over on his injured leg. "AGH!" That was enough to make him sit upright. His eyes traced every inch of his room. T-shirts, Posters, Books that he didn't even read, you name it. Same old, same old. Then school should be the same as well. Or so he thinks.

He hoped that his injured leg would make an excuse to not go to school. School was a cruddy place to be, what was the point of it anyway?

"Breakfast is ready!" Wally's mom yelled from downstairs.
"Mooooooooom!"
"What is it dear?" She yelled back.
"Mah leg still hurts! Can Oi not go to school?" He prayed for her reply to be yes."I don't know, CAN YOU?" Wallabe sighed and corrected his sentence. "May I not go to school?"
"NO!" was her reply.

Wally sighed. Guess not.

~RRIIIIIINNNGGGG!~

Wally looked at his schedule to see that history class was first on his list, and it's cruddy double session! He zoomed into class and saw his buddies sitting at the back of the room, with unamused looks on their faces. He was surprised that some nerds were sitting with them, because that was a really rare sight!

He was still pissed about them leaving him behind in the cafeteria and not helping him up. But he can't stay mad at them, because he won't have any friends. At the start of this cruddy school, he was all alone, until he had to do something horrible in order to gain a group of friends he didn't want. He wasn't going to let that to waste.

As he walked towards them, the teacher stopped him to say, "Mr. Beatles, you're walking in the wrong direction. Your group is that-a-way." She pointed her finger towards a group that contained none of his friends. "Ugh, this has got to be a cruddy joke!" He muttered. "I would say the same about your lateness." The teacher snapped back.

"One second after the bell and she calls that late?!" He thought.

He trudged towards the group the teacher pointed at. The only people there are two people focused in their own work, with no communication between them at all. Rusthey silently wrote on a sheet of paper collecting information. When he got closely and saw her face, he stopped right on his tracks.

"A-abigail Lincoln…" He muttered with his eyes wide.

She turned her head towards him.
"Wallabe Beatles." She muttered darkly.

~flashback~

""Hey abs, check out my stuff!"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME ABS!" She yelled suddenly.
Hoagie's eyes widened and joked, "Is it that time of the month? Don't take it out on me!"
"You're right, it is that time of the month, so ya better treat Abby better!"
"Hah! As if…"

She then continued gazing at her phone with a weird expression.
Hoagie didn't know whether to laugh or be worried. Instead, he gazed at Abby blankly for a few seconds, then slowly turned to continue with his invention.

After a few moments of silence, Hoagie decided to break the silence.
"So…. Where's Muff and Liz?" He questioned her, eating a chilli hotdog out of nowhere.
"Oh, they're hangin' out with the new girl."
"Tamara?"
"Yeah."

"Alright you love birds, the library closed." The teacher then shooed them away with a gesture of her hand. When they were out, they proceeded to say: "We're not-" but was unfortunately interrupted by the slam of a door. The two jumped up in shock of the impact, and Hoagie stopped chewing his hot dog to say:

"Well, see you next PERIOD!"
"Bye!" Abby said, rolling her eyes.
As soon as Hoagie left, Abby hesitated, but decided to do what the mysterious text told her to do.

On her phone, it read:

"u r goin 2 regret wat u did before, but i am goin to let u redeem urself. meet me the front of the school."

It was from Ben.

Ugh, maybe Hoagie should make a movie called "The return of Cinderella part 4" and fill it with his puns and lines. She would rather listen to that than even think about Ben. Ben still tries to get on Abby, even though it was clear she didn't want him near her.

As soon as she reached the front of the school, she could already see Ben, but there was somebody she never met beside had blonde hair and was slightly shorter than Ben. When she stopped in front of them, Ben started to speak, "Hey girl, why don't you ditch that fat idot and hangout with me?"
"oh god," abby thought. "he sounds like some kid who's using his parent's account on youtube."

"Firstly, I'm called "Abigail". And secondly, why would Abby do what you say?" Abby was really ticked off, this wasn't the first time this happened.

"Fine, 'Abigail', I would want you to do what I say, because don't you want to be cool? Why are you hanging out with this weirdo, when you can hangout with other people with other standards?"

"What if I like hanging out with him? Also I'm already chill!" She spoke calmly. "Now if you excuse me I'll-"

"Oh no, this time it's not that easy. This time you receive pain and torture if you don't do what I say. Right Wallabe?"

Wally was in a daze, but immediately snapped out of it. "Yup.."

"What are you, a police or something? I don't wanna to waste anymore of my time, so-"

"So ya wouldn't mind that Ben will beat yah to a pulp?" Just as Wally said it, Ben lunged at her, attacking her to the ground. As her back imbraced for the impact, she did a 180º all of a sudden and they both landed on Ben's back.

"ARE YAH CRAZY? WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME FOR NO REASON? THIS IS MY LIFE, NOT YOURS!" Abby yelled back, as tried to pry herself off the ground, but Ben grabbed her arm before she could do anymore.

Abby shook his hand away and managed to stand on the ground. Ben then stood up to her and yelled: "YOU WOULDN'T SAY THAT IF YOU WERE ME! ALL MY BUDDIES TELL ME I'M HOPELESS, JUST BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET YOU! I NEED MY REPUTATION, ABBY! I NEED CONFIDENCE!"

Abby then tried to take this as a new approach. "Then why don't you just quit bein' their friend?"

"No, then I wouldn't have anyone to hangout with." Ben whispered.

While all this was happening, Wally had his mouth gaped open. He was so surprised that Ben would be act like the way he is now. Around the group of jocks, he always acted tough and annoying, and always laughing at everything the jocks say.
There was a few moments of silence before Ben said: "I'm sorry, I really am, but my reputation is my number one priority." And with a snap of his fingers, Ben muttered, "Wallabe... take her down."

Wally hesitated. He lifted his arm and…..

~end flashback~

Hoagie continued on with his work, ignoring the uncomfortable tension that was created by icy glares of purple and green orbs around him.
What they didn't notice was a Japanese teenage girl with raven hair tied into a bun, staring at them.
"Hey guys!" The sudden voice made the two people stop glaring to look her way for a second.

"Hey Kuki! How's it goin'?" Hoagie then raised his hand, expecting a high five. Kuki then made a thumbs up and slammed it towards Hoagie's palm, resembling a..
"Turkey! You got turkied, fool!" Kuki giggled. Her choice of words at the end of of her sentence reminded Hoagie of a certain queen bee that always said that to him when he does something dumb.
"At least I didn't chicken out!" Hoagie had his eyes wide open, staring at the Asian girl with a goofy grin.
The girl stared at him for a few seconds and gave a slight chuckle, just to make things less awkward. "So… Anyway.. What are we supposed do? A staring contest?" She moved her glace at the 2 people glaring at each other angrily and muttering under their breath.

"Oh, they've been at it for like 10 minutes. We're supposed to present the history of a dude called Victor Uno or something." Hoagie replied.
"How much is the grade for this whole project?"
"Like, 60% in our report cards!" Hoagie exclaimed.
"Sixty percent?! That's crazy!" Kuki shouted.
She turned her attention to Wally and Abby, who was done doing their glaring. Wally had his head rested on his hand staring at his other hand, which was playing with his eraser, while Abby was checking her nails. "E-excuse me, can we please start on our project? We've done nothing in the past 10 minutes.." Just as she finished her sentence, the teacher walked in.

"You people still should be doing your research on Victor Uno, and you will be for the next 3 lessons." The teacher inquired.

Wally sighed and looked at his team mates wearily. This was going to be a long lesson. "So uh, can we start? We could have jobs for each person. I could research Victor's origin or somethin'."
"uh, okay." The group was to lazy to even care.

As they open their laptops, they all shared a document with the title, "Victor Uno". As they continued their given tasks for a few minutes, Abby spoke up.
"Uh hey, can you please remove that rainbow monkey picture, Kiki?"
"Um, my name's Kuki."
"Sure Kuki, can you please remove it?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't." Kuki answered quietly.

The group turned to look at her.

"It motivates me."

"Oh, um, sure then." Abby replied, not knowing what else to say. Suddenly, Wally let out a squeak, with his eyes wide open. The group turned to look at his direction, to see what's up. "S-spider!" He screamed. Fortunately, his voice was just a tiny pin drop compared to the noise in the classroom, and the teacher was too busy working on her paper work to even notice his behaviour. The spider was crawling around on Wally's laptop, clueless of how much fear he struck on the teen. It even decided to take a small nap on the computer.

"Kill it! Kill it with fire!" Hoagie wailed quietly. Abby nodded, and took out her weapon for spider emergencies, a pencil. She began sharpening it for good measure, and proceeded to stab the tiny creature. "Wait!" Kuki whisper-shouted. "What did it ever do to you?"
"Uh well, he slept on my laptop?" Wally reasoned with his logic.
"I think you'd have to come up with a better excuse for me to let you kill it!" Just to make them take her more seriously, she took out her many rainbow money erasers and built a wall around it.
"Who told you that you can build a mini spider home on top of my laptop?" Wally questioned her, confused.
"Well, who told you that you can kill a innocent creature just like that?"

"Hey, I got an idea! I'll try to find a dead fly on the window!" Hoagie then started to walk towards the window, and returned with a dead fly in a few seconds. He dropped it right in front of the spider, but it still wouldn't budge.
"We're gonna die!" Wally screamed.
Abby used the pencil mentioned before to push it away. But the tiny menace woke up and proceeded to climb up the pencil. "YAGH!" Abby dropped the pencil, which landed on the floor. Kuki took this chance to grab the pencil and throw it towards the window.

"Yay!" They all cheered and high fived each other. Unfortunately after that, since they had nothing else to do, they continued working on their laptops.
Abby then turned to Hoagie and decided to complement him. "Uh, hey, that was actually a great idea." Hoagie gave her a smile smile that he hasn't given her for a long time, and replied, "Heh, thanks."
Abby could swear she heard him say "Abs..." under his breath. She smiled, even though she wasn't really sure he said it. She knew their long hidden friendship was still there. If only….

And… It's done! I'm really sorry for being a lazy butt and not finishing it sooner, but homework got in the way…
(I was secretly writing this during class, too!) I really hope the next chapter will come faster, since there's Christmas break and all that jazz. I really loved Kuki and Hoagie's friendship in the show. It was a very cute relationship, like they were siblings. So I tried to add in that in this chapter, but it didn't really satisfy me lol. Btw, you might be wondering why I put that title. Well, there's a spider and all, so... yeah. I'm really bad at coming up with titles hehe...
The next chapter might include some 3x4. If not, I might add in some 3 and 5 friendship.

Until next chapter! Please R, F and F! See ya!
