We finally see Brent's decision that Jesse made and here's how it's going down!
Chapter 9: Brent's Decision
As lunchtime came closer, Jesse and his crew waited for Brent to come and tell them his decision to ditch Lars and hang with the jock crew and as Jesse kept looking at his watch, the wait seemed too long and he asked, "He'd better show up."
"If he doesn't, want me to deck him for ya?" Devon asked, putting his fists up.
Jesse lets out an embarassed sigh and said, "Put those fists away."
Devon slowly puts them down and takes one quick jab in the air to pretend that it's Brent before he comes and all of a sudden, in comes Brent walking down the hallway on his way to lunch and all of them waited around in anticipation and Jesse said, "He's definitely gonna be one of us now."
Just then, Brent walks past them and when Jesse called him out, Brent stopped and then he turns around and saw them standing and asked, "Have you decided?"
"Decided what?" asked Brent.
Jesse smirked at his pretend confusion and answered, "To betray and ditch that Mexican dude and hang with us."
Brent could tell that this was gonna be a big decision, but after what had happened to Lars in the school earlier this morning, he knew in his heart that he's made a good decision and he said, "That's easy."
Jesse was already excited about the reaction Brent was gonna say and Marshall quickly intervened and said, "Come on, spit it out!"
Brent looked at them straight in the eye and said, "The answer is...no."
And then, Jesse twitched his eye a little bit and grew increasingly and strangely angry that Brent had turned down this decision and he asked, "What did you just say?"
"You heard me. The answer's no, Jesse." Brent replied.
"No?"
"Yeah. What are you, deaf and stupid? I said no!" Brent exclaimed.
Jesse felt like his heart was stabbed in his chest and got alienated by the one decision he laid out for Brent and that he was still gonna defend Lars. He angrily confronted him and asked, "Why the hell would you care for this unwanted immigrant?"
"He's my best friend!" Brent spat out.
That made all the jock gang just froze for a second and Jesse could not believe what he had just heard and he said, "You have let a good opportunity slip away! We actually thought you were cool."
Brent released himself from Jesse's grip and he said, "I am cool...and I just proved it. And if he's what you call him, then so am I!"
Brent walks away from them as he heads his way to the cafeteria and for Jesse...he felt like that was the last straw and that he swore on revenge against not only Lars but Brent as well. He growls at this and said, "If Brent can't make Lars' life a living hell, then I will!"
Sounds like trouble! There's more coming up!
