Chapter 8: Bullies and Jiggles
An anxious Private laughed as he was being pulled around by an equally optimistic Keiko, who was going to be his tour
guide for the first week at OakView Middleschool. The school's bell had just rung, signalling to all of the students to begin
walking to class, but the brunette had talked him into getting to class late for a quick 'Tour'. They swiftly ran throughout the
halls, their feet lightly tapping against the school's new flooring.
"How exactly do you make this out to be a tour?" Private panted, a grin spreading across his face like wild fire. She replied
with a small shrug, a sly smile plastered on her own features."You'd rather be late to class, right?"
She shook her head in a 'No' response and jogged around a corner,"Well, I've already got all A's and B's... And, honestly,
I'd rather hang with you." Private opened his mouth to reply, but that was when he heard unfamiliar chatting and heavy footsteps. Keiko grabbed him by the hand, a very light blush spreading across the detective's cheeks as he was tugged into
a very snug closet.
"K-Keiko?" Private murmured, earning a silent shush. He became a bright scarlet as Keiko's already tight grasp became
even sturdier, almost as if she didn't want to let go."Keiko..." Another quiet shush was administered, a squeeze to the hand,
this time.
Once she felt the coast was clear, she peered out the door, making sure to steady her breathing. Nothing. She sighed and opened the door even wider, finally noticing that she was still clasping the other's hand. She stumbled backwards, her back
hitting the wall behind her, obviously flustered. Her cheeks reddened as she got up. Once Keiko regained her composure, she dusted her yellow jacket off and motioned Private to follow her to their class.
xXxXxXx Science xXxXxXx
Private was sitting next to Keiko, who seemed to be doing everything but paying attention to their aged Science Professor.
The raven haired boy was beginning to fall asleep, but was awoken by a small eraser bit that had been thrown at him. He
turned around only to find two boy's holding eraser bits in the palm of their hands. Private shyly grinned, hoping that they
were only joking around, but was greeted with a nasty glare.
The youth laid his head down on his arms, hoping to get some rest while in that period. Another eraser hit his head, getting caught in his thick mane. The other boys roared with laughter. Keiko looked back at them and practically growled.
"If you don't stop bugging him, I'll grab that eraser and shove it down your throat!" Keiko snarled cruelly, the class
overheared and began making noises, some even laughed at how quiet the boys got. She nodded in approval at their cowering and brushed away the remaining pink stubs.
xXxXxXx In The Hallway xXxXxXx
Private adjusted his backpack's thick, black straps and walked towards his second period. He observed his papers, trying
to figure out which class he had next, not caring about the group of boys who were slowly nearing him. He grunted as one
of the boys harshly slapped his back, stopping him in his tracks.
The leader of the group, Daniel Ross, grabbed Private by the jacket and brought him closer to his face."Next time, don't be
a wuss and let your girl fight for you. Got it?" Private opened his mouth to speak, but was thrown to the floor, a small yelp escaping his lips. The boy who threw the eraser at him earlier kicked him in the stomach, and ran off.
Private coughed and sputtered, his usually joyful baby blue eyes becoming a glassy grey blue. He rolled over onto his side
and held his mid section, gasping for a lungful of precious, wonderful air.
xXxXxXx PE xXxXxXx
The young detective jogged around the feild in his PE clothes, consisting of black baggy shorts and a grey muscle shirt. He
didn't look as scrawny with his arms out in the open, showing off his strong build. Hopefully it made him look menacing, though,
he didn't want anymore bullies approaching him. A small hand was placed on his shoulder, causing him to spin around and
almost jump out of his shorts.
It was only the girls, his only friends. They were both wearing similar outfits, but instead of muscle shirts, they wore black
T-shirts that clung to their forms. Unsurprisingly, Emily still wore her white headphones and Keiko still had her purple ipod.
The private clutched the part of his chest where his heart would be and visibly sighed.
Emily and Keiko both sent him puzzeled looks, hoping to gain some details."Private, you okay?" The coy teen asked, her
soft, melechonly voice ringing in his ears. He shook his head and quivered as he moved his torso, not remembering the
marking the whole ordeal had left him. Keiko, because she was so outgoing, pulled his grey muscle shirt up, revealing a dark
blue bruise on his forming abs.
"Who did this?" The blonde gasped, pulling the shirt up higher, examining the freshly inflicted wound. Keiko, instead of having
an expression of concern, had one of anger. The teenage nuisance lightly prodded the bruise, a hiss of pain coming from it's owner.
"Privy... Who did this?" Keiko grit her white teeth and began tapping her foot, trying to stay calm. Emily gently began to pat
her back, hoping it would soothe her long time friend. Private frowned for the first time that day and pulled down his shirt.
"The kid from 1st period..."
He looked away and rubbed the back of his head, playing with the nape on his neck. Private stared at his black vans,
putting his hands in the pockets of his PE shorts. The dirty blonde looked even more confused and glanced at Keiko, who had
a very guilty glower carved into her face. Her brow puckered,"Sorry, Privy, it was probably my fault..."
Private violently quavered his head, the black tussles of hair moving with the wind."It's not your fault, Kieko. Besides, I can
take it." And before he knew it, the familiar voice he dredded made it's way into his ear canal.
"Good, cause theres alot more to come!" Daniel forcefully pushed the wounded boy to the floor. Keiko growled and picked
up an alluminum bat, whom she named 'Jeniffer, and stalked towards the school's bully. Private easily got up and ran towards Keiko, grabbed her by the hand, and tugged her away from her current path. He didn't want to solve that possible homicide.
xXxXxXx After School xXxXxXx
Private jumped into the pink Convertible and sunk into his seat, hoping not to be seen in such a hidious vehicle. Kowalski
kindly smiled,"So how was your first day of school?" Private thought about this, it was a partially good experiance, partially not. He would have to fib, he decided.
"Great! Me, Keiko, and Emily had fun." The raven haired boy forced a goofy grin to be upon his face. His baby blue irises
dialated, a storm of both sadness and anxiety clashed with one another, though, Kowalski paid very little attention to it.
A few minutes into the drive, the strategist forced the hot pink Covertible to a halt, the black rubber tires screeching. Kowalski squealed with joy as he got out of the car and practically skipped towards the sidewalk. Private raised an eye ridge and
got out himself, only to find the team's gunius going gaga over a Pitbull puppy.
Even Private had to 'Aw' at such a sight. The puppy wagged it's tail and jumped around, more 'Aw's emitted from the military operatives. Without another word, Kowalski and Private jogged towards their car, puppy in arms.
xXxXxXx At Home xXxXxXx
Skipper was outraged, had his men began going soft? They brought home a puppy. A puppy."No." Was the military captain's decision, earning puppy eyes from his godson. Ironic. Skipper closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, agitated.
He scowled, glaring daggers at his strategist for deciding to bring the animal in the first place.
"But Skippah!" Private whined, putting his hands out in front of him."It could be a good experiance for everyone! It'll teach me responsibility!"
"That's what maitenence is for, young Private."
"Skipper!" Kowalski groaned, holding the puppy closer to his chest, as if wanting to defend it from anything harmful."We'll
feed it, and take it for walks!" Skipper's glower now faced the pup, who now began to whimper and tremble at the
uncomfortable stare. The Pitbull silently began to urinate on Kowalski, who shuddered and sniveled as the warm liquid which began to pool on his freshly ironed black button up.
Skipper grinned, taking the dog into his own arms. The puppy's stubby tailed wagged at such attention and tried to lick the military leader's nose."Well, I guess we could keep him..." He placed the Pitbull on the floor, only for it to be crowded
around by Rico and Private. Kowalski stayed on the couch, sniffling and not daring to move, fearing that the puddle of foul
fluid would drip onto the velvety sofa.
The dog yipped and barked, it's stomach jiggling everytime."What do we name it...?" Kowalski mummbled from a distance, a
small shriek coming from the sofa when he thought that the liquid was slowly running towards his face.
"Jiggles," Rico announced, examining the puppy by lifting it up and into the air by a hind leg. The dog just hung in mid air,
ears drooping. Private nodded in agreemeant and gently stroked Jiggle's back. The dog playfully growled at Skipper and ran
at him, nawing at his shoe laces. The lead detective groaned in annoyance and began walking towards the kitchen, the Jiggles following close behind.
