I probably could have merged this chapter with the last one… Oh well. Enjoy!
After Jonny had locked the doors, Kevin and Eddy stealthily made it to Kevin's car. They turned down the music and jumped the curb, headed for town.
"Do you think anyone saw us?" Eddy asked, looking back at the school.
"Let's hope not. And let's hope that no one gets really nosy and starts checking out the gym before tonight." Kevin said, adjusting his mirrors.
Kevin made sure he was going the speed limit the whole time. He and Eddy looked around making sure that no cops would see them. After a 30 minute drive, they finally made it to the grocery store.
"This place is ridiculously out of the way." Eddy said, getting out of the car.
Meanwhile, back at the gym, Jonny was hiding under the bleachers so he could try to hide from anyone who knocked on the locked door. Eventually someone did, and that someone was Ms. Campbell.
"Boys? Why is this door locked? You should be at lunch." she said, rattling the handle.
"Uhh, no one's allowed in until tonight!" Jonny yelled, thinking fast.
"Oh, I see. A surprise!" Well, I still have to see it before tonight. I'll be back when school ends." Ms. Campbell said, her footsteps leaving.
'When school ends, it's the middle of lunch now… That's two more hours!' Jonny thought, 'They better hurry!'
Back at the grocery store, Eddy and Kevin were tearing through the aisles, looking for soda, punch mix, cheese puffs, various assortments of chips, and cookies. They had all these items in their arms, and some were falling out.
The cashier, an old woman, slowly rung them off. She had a pleasant smile on her face while doing this, and only moved her arm. Kevin and Eddy watched and waited helplessly as she did this.
"That'll be 63 dollars and 57 cents, boys." the cashier said shakily.
"I only have 12 dollars." Eddy said.
"I have a credit card. Who only carries 12 dollars?" Kevin asked.
"Who buys the stuff we use for our Friday nights?" Eddy asked.
"You should charge for those. And I'll just use the credit card my dad gave me for emergencies. Thank you, ma'am." Kevin said, tipping his hat.
The two ran out to the car and put the bags in the back seat.
"That took 45 minutes?" Eddy asked.
"Well it would have been 40, but you had to get the Double Stuf Oreos." Kevin said.
"Hey! Regular Oreos have a terrible cookie to crème ratio! You have to get Double Stuf or else there's just too much cookie, and not enough crème." Eddy said.
"Know that I think of it, that's retarded." Kevin said.
After driving in silence, Kevin realized something.
"We forgot ice."
"Damn. There's probably going to be a gas station or something on the way back to school." Eddy said.
After about 15 minutes of driving, and no gas station, Kevin turned around. He was angry.
"What are the odds?" Eddy asked.
They drove the 15 minutes back to the grocery store, and Kevin made Eddy go in to buy the ice. After 10 minutes, Eddy finally came back with the ice, a soda, and a bar of chocolate.
"What the hell took so long? We have 25 minutes to get back." Kevin said, putting the car in drive.
"Well the woman took forever, and they didn't have my favorite candy bar in one of the boxes by the checkout so I had to go to the back of the store to find a bag. You want one?" Eddy asked.
"Oh yeah!" Kevin said grabbing one. He crushed it and threw it back in Eddy's face.
"Dick…" Eddy said.
The two pulled out of the parking lot and headed for school.
Back at school, Jonny had created a makeshift wall out of left over tables. He had a glass bowl on his head and was facing the gym door. School ends in 3, 2, 1…
The bell rang. 30 seconds later, Ms. Campbell rattled the door again.
"Come on boys. I have to approve it." Ms. Campbell said.
Jonny didn't say a word. He just sat behind the tables and trembled.
"Jonny? Kevin? Eddy? I'll go get the janitor." Ms. Campbell said.
'Balls!' Jonny worried.
5 minutes away, Eddy and Kevin were driving down the road.
"Come on dude, school just ended. Speed up." Eddy said.
"Whatever."
Kevin checked around, and stepped on the gas a little. They pulled up to the school and parked the car outside the gym. Jonny was still inside, and the janitor was fumbling with the keys.
"Nope, nah, not this one, here we go! Wait that's not it." Jonny could hear the janitor say.
"Uhh, give them to me." Ms. Campbell said.
Kevin and Eddy grabbed the bags from the car and tried to open the door.
"The key is in the car!" Eddy said.
Kevin dropped what he had and jumped back into the car. He grabbed the key to the gym and unlocked it.
"Forget the bags, just get in here!" Jonny whisper yelled.
The two ran in and helped Jonny picked up his table wall. As they finally got the last one up, Ms. Campbell opened the door and the three leaned against the last one.
"Sup, Ms. Campbell?" Kevin asked.
"Uh, hi. So everything's alright here?" she asked.\
"Yeah." Eddy said.
"Couldn't be better." Jonny said.
"Why is there a bowl on his head?" the janitor asked.
"Uhh, we were just, messing around. Cracking jokes." Kevin said.
"Good fun!" Jonny added.
"Right… Well you boys did an excellent job. Rodney will clean this up for you afterwards." Ms. Campbell said.
"Rodney?" Eddy asked.
"The janitor?" Ms. Campbell remarked, pointing to him.
"Students aren't supposed to know our first names, Samantha!" Rodney returned.
Ms. Campbell glared at Rodney. The two left arguing.
"Holy tits, guys… How did we manage that?" Kevin asked.
"I don't know, but it was extremely sexy." Eddy said.
The three grabbed the bags from outside and filled the bowls with them. They put punch in the one on Jonny's head.
"Do you have dandruff?" Eddy asked.
"No…" Jonny said, pointing out his near baldness.
"Just making sure."
When they had finished, they all left. It was about four o'clock now, and they all headed home to get ready for the party.
