More problems lie ahead for Rocky...

Chapter 10: Even More Problems

By the time school came around, Rocky's trying to push past the shocking news that Casey broke that Saturday about Lukas is coming after him, pursuing the rich kid's revenge against him. He lets out a huge nervous sigh as he rode his skateboard to school and as he made his way there, he sees Ashton, Darryl, Vinny, Max, Markie and Tucker catching up with him with their boards as well and being around them is just what he needs; hanging out with his new friends. Ashton looks up at Rocky and said, "So...what's been up with ya, man?"

"Oh, you know...stuff." Rocky replied, not giving some stuff away.

"Man, I can't wait for this weekend. This pizza party dance is gonna be one that everyone will remember." Tucker said, completely stoked up.

Rocky lets out a nervous chuckle about something else happening on the day of the dance and said, "I'm pretty sure this will be one for the history books."

"Dude...you're gonna be a legend here." Vinny said, very amazed.

Rocky didn't want to think about that title of being a legend just because of a party that's gonna be thrown at his dad's pizzeria. He just needed to be as he is and be happy with who he is. He could care less about being the popular kid and just be a normal kid...something that even Lukas himself is very blind to see his point across and he said, "You guys...I'm flattered, but I'm no legend."

"Come on, man. This is gonna be one party that no one will turn down going to. As a matter of fact, everyone on Pimpstagram and Spacehook are all looking forward to this party. Says so on your dad's pizzeria Spacehook page." Darryl said, showing Rocky the social media flyer for the party.

As Rocky looks at the flyer on the page, he sees a record set of comments, likes and mashtags involving this dance party and he was surprised to see that millions of people are talking about, particularly ones from Roosevelt High School. As amazed and awestruck as that looks, there's still lingering fear that someone might crash the party and he looks at them and said, "I hope Lukas doesn't screw this up."

"Lukas ain't on the guest list, man. He's probably the one guy in this school that ain't gonna crash this party." Ashton responded.

"If he did crash the party, I'll give him something to crash about." Vinny said, with a hint of commitment.

Soon enough, they all kept going as they see Casey's bike coming from behind alongside April following and everyone greeted both of them as they greeted them back as they caught up with them and Ashton said, "C.J.! What's up, man?"

"Not a lot, Ashton. How goes?" asked Casey.

Ashton chuckled excitedly and replied, "I'm getting ready to cut up the dance floor this weekend."

April seemed a little confused with that term and Rocky elaborated it for her by saying, "It means take over the dance floor. Bringing in so many dance moves that it'll get exhausted."

"Right. I thought you'd actually cut the dance floor in pieces." April said, now understand what that means.

Ashton chuckled slightly at the joke and said, "I guess that Southern guy in me is still intact."

Just then, they saw a black sports car driving pass and once it stops, the window goes down and revels Lukas' face with some black sunglasses and Lukas turns around and sees the gang there and he said, "Well...if it isn't the geeks and queens of New York City."

"Well, if it ain't Mr. High and Mighty like a freaking Midas, rolling up in this snobby clunker." Ashton responded, with a counterattack.

Lukas scoffs at this as he keeps looking directly at the others and said, "So...you guys are walking in these filthy streets instead of riding in a much fabulous $20,000 car like I have right here? You'd wish you'd be like me."

"Man, if we were like you, we would trade in that stupid expensive car for something less than millions." Darryl added.

Rocky sighed in annoyance due to Lukas' incompetent rich pride spewing all over and he voluntarily steps in, with an agenda to keep the peace and said, "Dude...what's your problem?"

"My problem? You showing your face in this school and stealing my shine on having that school dance in my parents' apartment. It would've been 10 times better than your disgusting pizzeria." Lukas said, showing huge amounts of jealousy.

"And it would've been 10 times more boring if we were invited there." Tucker said.

Lukas scoffs at them once again and just lowered his sunglasses and said, "So? I wouldn't have invited you broke losers anyway. You're not a part of my popular quota anyway."

Casey steps in and said to Lukas, "And we're cool with that. Because your popular quota are people who think they're better than anyone else and just like to make people like us feel bad about ourselves and want to see our self-esteem get lower. That's just straight-up pathetic."

"Shut up, Jones. I can't even udnerstand ugly, big headed, half-toothless loser language." Lukas said, taking a shot at Casey's missing front teeth.

April diffused any sorts of tension that may occur more and she said, "Lukas, why don't you just leave us alone?"

"Because I'm not gonna sit back and watch the dorks take over this party. Watch your step, Rocky." Lukas replied, glaring directly at Rocky.

With that, Rocky puts his shades on and gave everyone the middle finger as he drove off, leaving the others fuming a little bit and Vinny was the most ticked off and said, "If this was Brooklyn, he definitely would've slept with the fishes."

"Who does that loser think he is? He's a loser if he calls us a loser." Ashton responded.

"Well...no worries, Rocko. If this guy tries to crash this party, we'll make sure he doesn't crash another one." Vinny said, defending Rocky.

Rocky chuckled nervously at this and he replied, "Thanks."

A couple of minutes went by and as Ashton, Vinny, Darryl and Tucker went to their classes, Rocky turned to Casey and April and he said, "We have bigger problems than this."

"What kind of problem?" asked April, very concerned.

Rocky took a deep breath, turned to both of them and asked, "Remember the mutagen the Kraang droids packed up in that truck?"

"Yeah. What about it?" asked April.

"Well...one of them canisters got dropped off and was left in the street. It wasn't broken in any way, but my dad picked it up and brought it to our house." Rocky replied.

Both April and Casey's jaws dropped in shock as they heard that Rocky's dad got the canister of mutagen in the house and April asked, "Why would he bring mutagen in the house?"

"He thought that it's some new form of hair gel or something." Rocky answered.

"How is he gonna find out that it's not hair gel?" asked Casey.

Rocky sighed heavily at this and he doesn't even know how to tell his dad about this and said, "I don't know. But he has to know somehow. But even if I did, he wouldn't believe it."

So what happens now? Stay tuned!
