Chapter 11-WHAT THE DOUBLE JUICE?!
Rachelle's POV
At the middle of third period I woke up on a blue leather bed inside the nurse's office. I saw I had some bruises on my arms and legs more than usual. "Mrs. Murphy, why am I here?" I questioned. "Randy found you unconscious outside while the Ninja was fighting a giant grey wolf!" She replied. "Randy can't be himself and the Ninja at the same time! Unless, I was the giant grey wolf! I remember now, Bash that shoob and Heidi that jerk face! They are responsible for this!" I thought. I looked at the clock and excused myself with a pass to Reading and sat beside Hila. "What did I miss?" I whispered. "Dude, we are just playing a game preparing us for the quiz tomorrow. I saw you inside the nurse's office when my dad dropped me off. What happened?" She asked concerned. "I'll explain everything next period." I answered. After the bell rang, Hila and I walked to my locker to get my afternoon textbooks and everyone just backed away from me. "Rach, why is everyone like that?" Said a disoriented Hila. I just kept on walking and when we reached to sit by Randy, Howard, Theresa, and Debbie I explained the whole story from my point of view. Hila's jaw dropped and said, "I can't believe I missed all of that." Then I realized something and searched frantically for my prized possession. "Randy! You destanked me right? Then what happened to it?! Am I still you know who?!" I panicked. "Chillax Rach." He handed me the mask under the table and I immediately calmed down. "Heidi Weinerman here live with Rachelle Kang. I heard you shouting about you still being you know who and what is this 'it' we are talking about?" I can feel my fists getting ready for a fight. "Please shut up and go away or I will use this fork to rip your eyeballs out and stuff them down your throat so you can choke and get a clear view of my knife chopping your head off! Got It?!" I snapped with fire eyes. She ran away screaming and crying out of the café. I suddenly remembered Heidi saying I was on live. Then that means everyone is watching me? I looked around me every student watching me with frightened eyes more scared than before including Debbie, Theresa, Randy, and Howard, but not Hila. She knows I can be more violent, knows me better than anyone, and is always the first person to know my secrets. I walked to the doors and slammed them open heading outside followed by Howler. We sat under a tree and started a conversation, "Hila, I don't think I'll be making any friends anymore." "Sure you will. You already have Randy, Howard, Debbie, and Theresa." I explained, "Debbie is my cousin, Theresa is her bestest friend, Debbie like likes Howard, and Theresa like likes Randy." "Yeah, but most importantly is that YOU like them as a friend." Hila said. "I guess. How will I ever keep this up if I get stanked while being, you know." She assured, "Life's never perfect. I'm pretty sure you already know that." "I guess I forgot." I said. "Can I tell you something that involves me liking a dude in this grade level?" Hila grinned and whispered, "Really? Tell me tell me!" "I kinda like Randy." "OMN, there is a love triangle." Hila started. "Dudette shut up!" I snapped. "I don't love Randy, just a bit lower." "That reminds me in Kindergarten, you and Isaac-" I shoved my hand in front of her mouth. "What did I say? Can you please shut up?" I whispered. "What it's not like anybody's watching." She reasoned. "Yeah, but you never know." I explained. Out of the blue the branch Howard was on broke because of his weight and he fell onto the grass. "Told ya." I said. "Also, WHAT THE JUICE ARE YOU DOING?!" "What does it look like I'm doing?" Howard asked. "Stalker. How long have you been up there?" Hila questioned. "Long enough to hear about a love triangle involving with the least person I'd expect." Howard said with hands crossed looking at me. "Also what happened in Kindergarten?" "Let's just say in Kindergarten, there were two friends with different genders who are neighbors and like liked each other, but they never confessed it and the girl figured it out years after she refused to be friends with him." Howard asked in a confused voice, "How do even know this? It kinda sounds like you and Isaac being friends and neighbors…oh, I get it now."
(Deep Underground)
"Argh! No! I was so close to her!" The Sorcerer complained raising his fists in the air. "This close!" He raised a finger.
(In the Cafeteria)
"Rachelle, are you okay?" Asked a worried Theresa. "I'm okay. We just had a little chat." I said showing I'm fine by smiling a little. "Thank goodness you didn't get stanked again." Randy sighed in relief. "Wow, thanks for reminding her." Hila said sarcastically. "Is there any security cameras in this school?" I asked. "I don't think so." Debbie answered. "Phew!" I said. "Where is Howard by the way?" Randy wondered. "He is in the nurse's office because…" I remembered if I tell him the entire truth that Howard was stalking us, Randy would know I like him! "Because, he climbed a tree and fell." "Why would he do that?" "Before that, Howard was sta…ow." Hila said while I stomped her foot. "He just stopped by and decided to warm up for gym. Yeah, it's a good idea to warm up for gym especially this gym class which is next period." I lied. "Howard is way too lazy to do anything like that." I continued, "There was pizza up there from the delivery guy so yeah." "You know this how?" He asked suspiciously. "Well he told me of course." I chuckled nervously. Then we saw Howard come over in crutches and a cast. Wow, the nurse gives better service than my school. I hated that place. He came over and said, "Hi guys. Sprained ankle because I fell of a tree branch when I was with," Don't say it. I couldn't stomp his foot because he was standing and already injured. "Rachelle and Hila." I slowly stepped away to the bathroom, but randy already noticed and dragged me back. "Sorry I lied. I usually don't lie and never do to my friends except in emergencies." I said sheepishly with my head down. "Apology accepted and what emergency besides Howard injury?" He questioned. "I need to go to the bathroom, Hila cover for me." I quickly dashed to the restroom, went to the last big stall, opened my NinjaNomicon, and was shloomped unconscious. "Arrgh!" I face planted on a hard surface, but I didn't get hurt. The hard floor was the floor of a dojo and I whispered, "So honkin' bruce." After a long explanation of the NinjaNomicon being the ancient book of secret ninja wisdom for 800 years and stuff like that, I asked, "So, my first question, uh, well the Violet and Yellow Ninja both like the same guy who is Red and I'm pretty sure he knows already and soon Yellow will know and yeah. I don't think you will have any answers for that."
Meanwhile at lunch…
Randy's POV
"What?!" I couldn't believe it. Not only Theresa, but also Rach? Well, she is kinda pretty, but Rachelle? She is very violent, strong, and has a gruesome mind. I'm so disoriented. Only one solution, the Nomicon. "I need to go to the bathroom. Be right back." I went to the last big stall, opened my NinjaNomicon, and my soul got sucked inside into a dojo. "Nomicon! There is a love triangle that Yellow and Violet both has a crush on me and I like them both." I said the last part awkwardly. I message formed on the wall, "A Ninja must not be blinded by love." Then the message disappeared revealing Rachelle on the other side of the wall. She hid away and I walked over to her and asked, "Is this true?" "Yeah. That was the emergency, I didn't want you to know, but I guess like Hila said to never keep any secrets. In Kindergarten Isaac and I liked each other, but we never confessed it. In fifth grade he liked me again which was after I refused to be friends with him so I didn't and that was when I found out about Kindergarten because someone asked me if we were dating in Kindergarten. Well of course it was no, I didn't even know what love meant so yeah. Anger filled my heart year after year and showed it by wearing dull colors and never bright again. I know I may seem deadly, but I am just an ordinary person who is mad." She started walking around the room to try to get back to reality, but it didn't let her. The message showed up again and shouted, "Okay this isn't love Nomi! Can I go back? Where's the exit?" Nomicon formed a hole and we fell and I was back to reality. "That was the weirdest and uncomfortable lesson ever Nomicon." I complimented and was shloomped out. When I opened the door I saw Howard, Theresa, Rachelle, Debbie, and Hila as the Ninja fighting against some Robo-Apes so I just stepped back inside and said, "It's Ninja o' Clock." I slipped on my mask and walked out Ninja style. "I got this. Robo-Apes are like warm ups." I took out my Katana and yelled, "Ninja Slice! Ninja Slice! Ninja Dodge! Ninja Kick! Ninja Slice!" We stood there with four bots down. I took out a Smoke Bomb and shouted, "Smoke Bomb!" "Wow. That was so bruce Randy! Thanks." Rach appreciated. "Have you ever thought of chosing new ninjas in the group? Well you only have…three more. White, grey, and pink." Debbie asked. "How about some of my friends can! Can they" Theresa pleaded. "Yeah, of course." I agreed. We went to the table where the Klub sat and I looked around seeing if anyone can be worthy. "How about Julian?" Theresa asked. "How will I ask him?" I wondered. "Just like you did to us." Howard said. "Yeah you should." Debbie agreed. "Definitely." Hila agreed as well. "Rachelle? Rach, where are you?" We scanned around the crowded and loud café and Hila found her by, Morgan? I walked over to them and Rachelle whispered to my ear, "Can Morgan be a Ninja? She is so nice and we get along." "Whoa, what? You just met her a minute ago!" I yelled. "Well, you have known her longer than you have known me. Yet, you still chose me." Rach argued. I rose a finger to speak, but I couldn't argue with that. "Fine, but we need to head outside, again. All of us." I signaled the others to follow the three of us and we stepped outside. "Morgan, you can keep a secret right?" I asked seriously. "Well yeah. I kept a secret that Bash likes Rachelle." She answered. Rachelle freaked out, "Whoa, what?! Ugh, not again, this happens too much. Bash is total shoob!" I raised an eyebrow, "Well you kept that secret until now!" Rachelle, Hila, Theresa, Debbie, Howard, and I took out our masks and transformed into our own suits. Morgan's jaw dropped. "You, wait, wha, why are guys doing this?" Howard explained pointing to Randy, "The Red Ninja I choosing new ninjas to fight a Sorcerer and Sorceress." "I knew there was something fishy about you Cunningham!" Morgan pointed. "So, would you prefer white, grey, or pink?" Debbie said taking out the boxes. "White." Rachelle snatched the ancient box and threw it to her. Morgan opened it revealing a NinjaNomicon and a white mask. "Thank you Red! This is so honkin' bruce!" She shouted smiling and slipped it on changing into the White Ninja. I agree very honkin' bruce that we only need two more members. Maybe the next one will be Julian. "Thank you Randy! So honkin' bruce!" A dude Goth shouted. "You're welcome Julian." I responded. Julian is obviously the Grey Ninja, definitely not pink. There is already a lot of Kunoichi's (female ninja) already, but I'm pretty sure no dude would like to be a Pink Ninja. "Who would adore pink and has a heart?" I questioned. "Rachel?" Debbie asked. "No, Rachelle is Violet, remember shoob?" Howard argued. "I mean the Rachel in Band shoob." She countered. "There is another Rachel?" Rachelle asked curiously. "Yeah, but ends with e and l." Theresa explained. "Oh, ok." She understood. "Well, we rarely see the band." I explained sadly. "I'm in Student Council. I can be excused in Study Hall (a useless, quiet, boring class after or before lunch that allows students to finish homework) so I can go see her." Rach said. Howard asked, "Okay one, what the juice is Student Council and two, Student Council members can be excused during boring Study Hall?" "Yep. I know so bruce." She chuckled. "No offense, but you were mean before, how did you get elected to join them? Theresa wondered. "In class, I'm quiet, smart, and obedient." She answered. The bell rang for Study Hall and she took the pink box and placed it inside her backpack.
Rachelle's POV
A stepped inside Study Hall and asked for a hall pass to go do some Student Council work. Luckily I don't have anybody else in Student Council and in my class. "Okay, where is Band?" I asked myself. Then I heard some loud trumpeting, banging, dinging, sounds inside a classroom so I peeked inside revealing a big group of geeks in Band uniforms and I asked Miss. Wickwacker if I can borrow Rachel for a few minutes. "Why do you need her? Who are you?" She asked. "I'm in Student Council and they asked for her to help us to put finishing touches on the poster for Friday Night Out we made. My name is Rachelle Kang, a new student, and a freshman." I showed her my badge. "Okay you are excused Rachel." She excused. "So why did they pick me?" Rachel asked concerned. "Follow me and ask questions later." I said which made her more worried. I walked around the school trying to find a good private room. Since everyone is in Study Hall, Band, or Choir, I went inside a classroom, locked the door, closed the window shades, turned on the lights, slipped on my mask, transformed into the Violet Ninja, and said, "Before you do anything, don't faint, scream, or panic. You must keep this a secret. Do you want to be the Pink Ninja with us?" I showed her the box. Rachel was speechless with a jaw dropped to the floor. "Uh, I, this is very surprising and I'm trying my best to not scream, but I just met you." I explained, "Well I know, but Randy Cunningham is Red, Howard Weinerman is Orange, Theresa Fowler is Yellow, Debbie Kang is Green, Hila Howler is Light Blue, Morgan is White, Julian is Grey, and I'm Violet. Randy is forming a group of nine ninjas to protect Norrisville from destruction from the evil Sorcerer and Sorceress. We need you because you are the ninth Pink Ninja." "I'm not much of a fighter…" She admitted. "None of us are. A professional was once a beginner." I said. "Then if it's that important then I'm in." Rachel accepted and opened the box receiving a Pink NinjaNomicon and mask. "Shnasty, pink." I thought. "Oh, we have to finish a poster or Miss Wickwacker will find out I lied." I reminded. "I have a plan." We deactivated our uniform and sped walked to the copy room to get paper, the art room to get paint and I scribbled in black paint, "9th Grade Friday Night Out! $3.00 Admission. Bring ID's! 3:00-5:00!" Then I fetched a fat paint brush, dibbed a big amount of red paint, and flicked my hand across the poster forming a huge messy red blob. "Oops, sorry Rachel it was 'accident.'" I said quoting the word accident with my messy red and black fingers. "Got it." Rachelle winked and threw it away. "Meet me after Study Hall in the library." I commanded and we went back to our classes. When I was walking toward Study Hall I met Mrs. Wisdom the Student Council leader, came to me and asked how the poster went. "The poster was too sloppy and unreadable so I drew an X across it with red paint, but I also messed up on the X. I know I'm a talented artist, but I'm just so exhausted and I don't have the energy today." I lied, again. "You did this by yourself?" She asked. "Rachel helped, a little." "Oh, good. I don't want you to do all of the work. Wait, she isn't in Student Council though. Why did she help?" I continued to lie, "Rachel is my best friend, is artistic, creative, and I knew where to find her. Bye!" Mrs. Wisdom left and I rushed up the stairs to class not wanting any more trouble and lying. After Study Hall in the library with Hila, Howard, Debbie, Randy, Morgan, Julian, Rachel, and Theresa, Hila asked me, "So, how did go?" I replied, "I lied a lot and I don't feel good because I hate people who lie. I lied to Miss. Wickwacker that the Student Council asked for Rachel to help us put finishing touches on the poster for Friday Night Out we made. To avoid getting in trouble for lying, I scribbled some words on a poster in black paint and splattered red paint over it and lied to Mrs. Wisdom that I made a 'mistake' on it so I got red paint to draw an X over it, but 'accidently' did too much. Since she isn't a Student Council member, I lied that she is my friend, artistic, creative, and I knew where to find her. I guess the very last part is true, but the rest is all untrue." "Whoa." Morgan complimented. Hila explained, "At least you're lying for a good reason, protecting our identities." "Yeah, I guess so." I thought. "Rachelle, where are you?" I heard a dude voice say. "Did you guys hear that?" I wondered and they nodded yes. I spotted Bash and tried to hide, but he caught me before I had the chance. "Rachelle would you go out with me tomorrow" He asked handing me a daisy. "WHAT THE DOUBLE JUICE?! No way! One, I hate you, two, it's not a dance, it's a Friday Night Out!" I reacted annoyed and smacked the daisy out of his reach. I couldn't believe a boy would have the courage to ask me out, I mean everybody just knows the outside of me besides the Ninjas because they see me smart, mysterious, mean, selfish, heartless, cruel, but in the inside, I'm just an ordinary freshman who has anger issues. I guess he just did that because he likes my attitude and personality. Bash stomped outside. "Rejected!" Hila called and we did our little handshake.
Meanwhile in the bathroom…
Bash was in the bathroom stall crying. The Sorcerer listened carefully and said, "Oh, yes. The sound of dejectedness, misery, annoyance, anger, sorrow, and a common one, a broken heart." He cackled evilly and waved his hands to form some stank through the pipe, into Bash, transforming him into a monster. "Roar! Me want Rachelle!" He shouted echoing through the hallways. "Bash bashed (lol) through the wall right next to the doors of the library and bellowed, "Me want Rachelle!" We sneaked out of the room except Bash slapped me across the floor. "Ow, I thought you like me…" Bash bellowed again at my face. I smelled the stank, "Ugh…shnasty. I'll take that as a no. Phew! Glad that's over." He aimed a fist at me, but I dodged it. "Oh, shoot…" I said while he began to chase me. "Ninjas?! Where are you?!" I screamed running for my life. "Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! And Smoke Bomb!" The Ninjas snouted with red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, pink, grey, and white smoke. Bash finally grabbed me. "Unhand her!" Howard commanded in a rough heroic voice. I just rolled my eyes. He tied me to a chair with my red scarf. That's wonk, I shouldn't have worn it today. "You shoob!" I insulted angrily while hopping up and down trying to break free. "Do you think binding me to a chair will make me like you?!" Then suddenly more stank came up to the vents and he grew larger. "What the Juice?" Rachel cried and did a Ninja Flip Kick. "Is it actually possible?" Debbie wondered while throwing a Triple Ninja Rings. "Oh boy, maybe I should shut up for now." I thought. Grey came over to me and untangled the rope. It took a while because there was a lot of knots. Well what do expect from a giant angry monster with sharp huge claws? "I'm free!" I whispered and sneaked past him behind some book shelves, made sure there was no cameras, and took out my Violet mask.
Meanwhile in McFist's Hovercraft…
"No! The Red Ninja has already chosen eight ninjas! There is only one more who is…the Violet Ninja! No this is happening to fast!" The Sorcerer complained in frustration. "No you have to deal with eight ninjas McFist. Good luck with that." He vanished out of the screen.
Back at the loud, very loud, school library…
"Smoke Bomb! Vi is in the house!" I howled happily through the purple smoke on top of a book shelf. "Ninja Sai's!" I yelled. "Oh, wait never mind, I can't hurt him." I said. "Guess I'll use these. Ninja Jump! Ninja Flip Kick Punch! Triple Ninja Rings! Ninja Block! Ninja Block! Ninja Dodge! Ninja Going That Way, But Going This Way! Ninja Punch! Ninja Dodge! Ninja Kick! Ninja-Red, how do you never get sick of saying every move you do? I mean, what if we fight the Sorcerer or Sorceress and after we say our moves, wouldn't that let them know what we will do and kill us? I mean it is true." I reasoned.
At McFist's Place…
"Hmmm, that is true." Viceroy agreed. "We must give this pointer to the Sorcerer. I can't believe no Ninja has ever thought of that for 800 years."
At Norrisville High…
The Hippie Librarian asked, "Guys, can you chill and fight outside? You wrecked half of my library already!" The Daisy!" White reminded. Pink lifted it up in the air with her toes, unsheathed her Ninja Katana and proudly shouted, "Ninja Daisy Slice!" "You know you could've just ripped it." Theresa said. "I know, but I was tempted to use the Katana." She responded. "Can't argue with that." Debbie said. "Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! Smoke Bomb! And…Smoke Bomb!"
