Chapter 11- Soccer, Geography and Secrets
Each team had quickly huddled before the game started and decided on a team name. And were as so:
Tommy, Phil and Kimi aka Food Adventure
V.S.
Chuckie, Dil and Lil aka Upside Down Glasses
Within ten minutes Lil had gotten the ball past Kimi. But almost straight afterwards Phil scored a goal past Chuckie. And they were tied again for the next almost 10 minutes.
"And the score is 2-1, favouring team... Food adventure!" Fred called out with a grin as Tommy scored a goal.
"And that's the end of the game." Lil said sadly as she heard the bell go, "Good game though!" She yelled with a grin to all of them, bumping fists and shaking hands as they walked back to the sad grey building, all of them covered in mud.
"One more class." Tommy said with a yawn as they walked down the corridor.
"Math." Dil said, poking out his tongue in disgust.
"Science!" Chuckie said with a grin.
"History." Phil said, expression completely neutral.
"Geography." Kimi, Lil, Fred and Tommy said, almost completely in sync.
All four of them burst out laughing just as the warning bell went.
"See you all at the van after school!" Tommy called as they all rushed to their classes.
"Yeah", "Okay", and "Sure", were all heard from different people.
Getting to the classroom just in time, Tommy, Fred, Lil and Kimi quickly say down at a row with four seats.
"Hello year 9's. I welcome you to geography. I'm Miss Right, nice to meet y'all." The teacher said walking in to the classroom and putting her folder onto her desk.
"I'm sure I'll get used to your names eventually but please excuse me until I do." She said before calling roll, "Now that that's done can I please have four students to come up the front. We're gonna have a little quiz."
A few students put up their hands and the teacher looked around before choosing four.
"Um, you. What's your name?" She asked pointing at a red haired boy.
"Timmy McNulty." The boy said with a smile.
"Cool, I'll try and remember that. Now then come up the front while I choose another person."
Miss Right looked around a few more times before choosing someone.
"I choose you. What's your name young man?" She asked, pointing at someone in the front row.
"I'm Tommy. Tommy Pickles."
"Cool. I'll try and remember. Now then, come up the front." She said with a smile and led the way to the front, not noticing Timmy and Tommy glaring at each other.
"Now I'll have you and you please." She said pointing too two girls, one in the back row and one right in the middle of the class room, "What are your names?"
"Prudence Bubblegum." One girl with short brown hair said, standing up and barging into Tommy once she was up the front before standing next to Timmy.
"Belinda Nice." The other girl with long blonde hair said also walking up to the front and standing next to Tommy.
"Nice too see you again Tommy." Belinda said with a smile, "It's been a long time."
"It's been ages since then." Tommy said, recognising the girl that he'd played with in the park all that time ago.
"Okay now then you need to choose your teams. They'll be your team for the rest of the year. And you have to sit with them so choose carefully." Miss Right said before asking Tommy to choose his first team mate.
"Lil." Tommy said with a smile.
Next Belinda chose. Choosing some girl called, "Megan" who Tommy vaguely recognises from somewhere.
Then Timmy chooses, "Binky."
And then Prudance chose one of her friends, "Gabriel."
They continue in that order until they have four people each, including themselves.
Tommy: "Kimi."
Belinda: "Emma."
Timmy: "Sticky"
Prudance: "Josh."
Tommy: "Fred."
Belinda: "Kayla"
Timmy: "Buster."
Prudance: "Ty… and I guess Todd since they don't like being apart."

"Okay then. Now that each group has four or five people, you can more around the desks into groups while these four decide on buzzer sounds."
Each of them thought for a moment before deciding on a sound.
"Roar." Was heard from Tommy.
"Meow." Belinda mumbled.
"Honk." Timmy called.
"Pop." Prudance said, popping the gum that was in her mouth.
"Okay then. Cool. Now for the quiz." Miss Right said as everybody finished up re-arranging the classroom, "Question One: What River runs through ten states of America and is the second longest?"
"Pop" (Prudance) followed very closely by a "Roar" (Tommy) was heard.
"Yes Prudance?"
"The Missouri River." Prudance said matter of factly.
"What was your answer Tommy?"
"The Mississippi River ma'am." Tommy said.
"Tommy is correct. Very close though Prudance. The Missouri River however runs through seven states, despite being longer then the Mississippi River. So 1 point to Tommy's team, you can decide on team names later if you want. Also, I'll be asking full team questions later, worth two point's if you get them right. Now then question two: Which state in America is the Biggest?"
"Meow!" & "Honk!" (Belinda & Timmy)
"Belinda first. Then Timmy."
"Alaska." Belina said happily.
"Darn it. She got it before me." Timmy said, disappointed.
"Okay then, one point to Belinda and half a point for Timmy for knowing the answer. Okay then last question before the bell. Question three: Which state has the largest population?"
All of the sounds were heard at the same time. "Roar", "Meow", "Honk", and "Pop".
"Okay then, Tommy, Belinda, Timmy then Prudance, okay, now go ahead."
"Texas." Tommy said, sounding slightly unsure.
"New York." Belinda mumbled.
"Florida." Timmy said proudly, thinking he'd gotten it right.
"California." Prudance said, remembering what her mum had said about the population in California being really big and needing more houses and stuff.
"Nice one Prudance. California is correct, and then Texas. So one point to Prudance and then half a point to Tommy for getting the second most populated states, Texas and New York are the third and forth most populated though. Now then, points stand as such:
Tommy: 1 ½
Belinda: 1
Timmy: ½
Prudance: 1
I'll write that on the board for next lesson." Miss Right said, starting to do just that as the bell went, "See ya class."
Tommy, Lil, Kimi and Fred quickly grabbed their staff and ran out the door, going to the car park and getting into the van to wait for the others.
Tommy was on his learners permit and Chuckie was teaching him to drive. The furthest he drove by himself was just down the street to the Finster's house to pick up Chuckie.
Turning on the engine to heat up, Tommy, Kimi and Lil talked to Fred- who was going to catch the bus when it got there- while they waited.
"Finally." Tommy said as Chuckie got there, followed closely by Phil and Dil who seemed to be in deep conversation and Dil looked very happy to be talking to someone who actually listened and seemed interested in what he was saying.
"Okay's then, everyone here?" Tommy asked before mumbling the names of who was there, "Me, Chuckie, Kimi, Lil, Phil, Dil… Ye-"
Just as he was saying that they had everyone, Angelica and Suzie walked up to the van.
"Hey." Suzie said with a smile at them.
"Hi, can you give us a lift? Our ride left without us." Angelica said with a scowl at the empty spot opposite them.
"Sure. Jump in." Tommy said as Chuckie and him got into the two front seats, Phil and Dil got into the middle and Kimi and Lil got into the back.
Suzie quickly got into the back with Kimi and Lil. Leaving her girlfriend to pull down the middle end seat and pull shut the door. And once they were all seated and belted Tommy pulled out and they were off, talking amongst themselves as they drove.
Dil and Phil keeping up their weird conversation, Kimi and Lil whispering to each other and kissing gently, Angelica turned around slightly to talk to Suzie, and then a quiet happy silence between Tommy and Chuckie that they interrupted only a few times when they wanted to mention something.
"So… What are you doing this weekend?" Chuckie asked Tommy as they dropped of Angelica.
"Nothing, as far as I know." Tommy said, quickly driving to Suzie's house a few blocks away.
"Cool, do you wanna come to watch a movie and go to dinner with me?" Chuckie asked as Suzie closed the door.
Driving around the corner, Tommy dropped off the twins, who took ages to get out with Kimi and Lil kissing and Phil not wanting to stop talking to Dil.
"Come on. I wanna go home." Tommy said with a playful grin at the twins, "You'll see each other tomorrow."
Phil grinned at Tommy and said, "Okay Tommy, see ya man." Before turning to Dil and smiling happily, "See you tomorrow Dil."
As Phil got out Lil gave one last kiss to Kimi and mumbled, "See ya babe," before getting out of the van and closing the door.
"Okay then," Tommy mumbled and drove slowly down the street, "So you were asking me on a date Chuckie?" Tommy asked with a small smile and a blush.
"Yes. If you want to go with me that is." Chuckie said, smiling as well.
"I'd love to." Tommy mumbled, smiling wider as he pulled up next to the Finster's house, "See you tomorrow." Tommy said before quickly pulling Chuckie into a soft kiss before pulling away and letting the other boy get out, followed by Kimi.
"See ya Tommy." Kimi said as she went to wait for her brother, knowing that he'd want to talk to her.
"Bye Kimi." Tommy called after her.
"See you tomorrow Tommy." Chuckie mumbled before closing the doors.
Tommy waved and then drove off. Even though they only lived a few houses down from Chuckie, Tommy went past their house and started a lap around the block.
"Hey… um… Dil?" Tommy asked.
"Yes bro?" Dil said in response, climbing into the front.
"Do you think you could, um, keep… my relationship with Chuckie from Mum and Dad?" Tommy asked, a light blush on his cheeks.
"Sure." Dil said, "As long as you keep my crush on Phil a secret from everyone." Dil's face went slightly red as well, "I know that you noticed. I saw your look before."
"I knew you liked him." Tommy said with a grin, "I'll keep Phil a secret and you keep Chuckie a secret, sounds good?"
"Cool." Dil said putting out a fist as Tommy finally got to their street and parked in front of their house.
"Cool." Tommy said, bumping their fists together in their version of a pinkie promise.
As they walked inside, Chuckie and Kimi had just finished having a similar conversation about Kimi keeping Tommy and Chuckie from their parents.
"Fine." Kimi said.
"Thank you." Chuckie said sighing in relief and they both walked inside.
