"Flaky!" Someone sang. I turned around to see Opal, carrying a tray of cookies.
"Hi" I said a little sadly and she picked up in it immediately.
"What's wrong?" She asked and I perked up.
"Oh, uh it's nothing? What are you doing?" I asked her.
"Oh! I'm delivering cookies!" She said. "To st. Joseph. Me an Giggles are doing it, but were switching day to day" She said and I smiled.
"Okay. Well good luck" I said and she ran off. I went to school and saw Cuddles, looking kind of sad, and walking slowly. I smiled feeling Opal's good aura of energy coming on. It happened whenever I see her which is weird, she just makes me smile.
"Cuddles! What's wrong?" I asked and he sighed with a shrug.
"Oh, nothing really. Just feeling a little down" He said and kept walking.
"Oh, okay. Bye" I said lowly as he left. I sighed feeling Opal's energy fade away and walked to my class. It was the usual boring day, well up until 5th period. I got a text from Flippy telling me to meet him at the tree. I asked to use the bathroom and snuck out to our spot.
"Hey" Flippy said and I spun around.
"Flippy" I said and he smiled.
"I'm sorry for bringing you here like this but, I need to talk to you" He said and I nodded.
"Why has something happened?" I asked and he sighed.
"Well I'm suspended for fighting. The other school called and demanded expulsion, but Principal Pop said he'd take care of it and I'm suspended. I wont be in school for a week" He said and I gasped.
"B-But I can't go to school with out you! I mean it's so hard being there without you to help me" I said and sighed knowing I was being a burden to him.
"Actually I change my mind. I'm glad you leaving. I-I have to suck it up and start acting like an adult" I said and Flippy smiled.
"You're funny" He said and left.
"Wait where are you going?" I asked him.
"I'm suspended remember" He said and I sighed. I returned to class but all I could think about was Flippy.
"Flaky! Flaky!" Mom said and I snapped back to my senses.
"As I was saying I think it would be a good idea if you helped Opal and Giggles with their bake sale. They're delivering cookies you know" Mom said and I nodded.
"I know. I saw them earlier. They were going to my school and I said hi, but Opal was busy" I said and sighed.
"Have you notice Cuddles has been a little...down lately?" I asked and Mom nearly chocked.
"Oh, um yes I have dear" She said and smiled.
"You've noticed?" She asked.
"Yeah, he looked kind of...depressed actually. I tried to cheer him up, but his gloom was bringing me down so I left" I said and got a text from Splendid.
Splendid 8 PM
Hey meet at the park okay?
"Who is it?" Mom asked.
"Splendid, he wants me to meet him at the park after dinner" I said and Mom smiled.
"He's a nice boy isn't he?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah" I said and ate dinner. I ran to the park and found Splendid playing football with a few friends of mine. There was Cuddles, Mime, Splendid, Nutty, and Handy. I saw Handy sitting on the benches, handless. I ran up to him and sat down.
"Handy! I'm so sorry I didn't see you in the hosp-"
"It's okay Flaky, no one was allowed to anyway" He said and we sat there silent.
"Oh, uh well I hope you feel better. I know the last time I saw you, you weren't doing so well. You were kind of mean to me, but I hope you're feeling better. It must suck not having any hands" I said and he looked confused.
"I was mean to you? I haven't seen you in a month" He said and now I was confused.
"What? No, I saw you before your surgery, a week ago" I said and he shrugged.
"Well I don't remember" He said and I turned my attention to the football game. Splendid came running over, sweaty and I smiled.
"Hey, coach wants me to join the football team, what do you think?" He asked.
"YES! A million times yes! I'm the mascot and we'd be at every game together!" I said and he smiled.
"A little enthusiastic are we?" He asked and I blushed.
"Well I don't want to go by myself" I said and he smirked.
"Well than I'll say yes. But only for you" He said and jogged away, making Handy chuckle.
"Well got a little romance do we Flaky?" Handy asked and I blushed even more.
"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" I said and blushed a deep red.
"Denial" Handy said and I swear I was going to melt in embarrassment.
"NO! I DON'T LIKE HIM!" I said and sighed.
"Denial" Handy sung and I sighed, and looked at him.
"S-So what if I like him" I whispered.
"TELL HIM!" Handy yelled making me jump.
"I CANT DO THAT!" I said frantic and I looked at Splendid. He had a blank expression on his face, but he soon smirked and someone made a remark, making Splendid blush slightly. Splendid threw the football at him and the boys continued playing.
"Tell him or I will!" Handy said and I looked at him, angry with rage.
"YOU BETTER NOT!" I said and freaked.
"Do it, do it, do it!" Handy said and I punched his hardhat, making me hurt my hand.
"Ow" I said and held my hand. I felt tears form in my eyes, but brushed them away as Splendid walked me home. I learned two things that day, that I like Splendid and that everything is changing.
Haha! Things happen and it's getting good! Well hope you enjoyed and REVIEW!
