Chapter 11- Making Enemies
While Maddeline was in Guidance.
"Alright, everybody!" the field ball coach shouted, snapping the chatting students who were standing on the field out of their conversation, "We have a game a week from today! It's the first of the season and we are not gonna make the school look bad."
"What's with the Harem pants on this guy?" Kovu whispered to Cindy.
"The same reason the people from where I live wear mismatched colors." Cindy replied, "Culture."
"At the same time I would like to welcome some new team members, Kovu and Brine." The coach introduced the two boys.
"Coach Babkak, you can't be serious!" A voice from to Kovu's left. Kovu looked in the direction of the voice, to see a boy who looked like he was in his junior year, with slicked back dark-blue hair, these villains scum, on our team?"
"Who the hell are you calling scum, buddy?" Kovu demanded stepping out of the line.
"Why are so upset? I'm just calling you what you are." the blue haired boy replied snarkily.
"Take it easy Wickersham!" Cindy said.
"I won't!" Wickersham replied, "And frankly you're an idiot if you think you can trust the son of one of the most manipulative creatures to come from that island."
"Oh, you mean the man who wasn't even my biological father?" Kovu demanded pushing Cindy out of the way.
"It doesn't matter! He still raised you, which is just as bad. You just watch coach, He'll start playing for the other team!"
"COME OVER HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE!" Kovu demanded.
"Walter, don't do it…" Peter said.
Walter didn't listen.
The expression on Walter's face turned to unbridled rage and he tackled Kovu to the ground. The two wrestled and tumbled on the ground, and Kovu had resorted to unsheathing his claws from under his fingernails, slashing at any part of Walter's body his claws met.
"Should we do something?" Cindy asked Peter.
"Do you want to get mutilated?" Peter asked, "Because it looks like that's what's happening to Walter."
Kovu suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure on his throat, making him gag and choke. Walter had started pulling back on the collar of his shirt. Kovu tried to pull away but that just seemed to make the pressure worse.
"Give up, Kitty Cat?" Walter asked.
Kovu suddenly drove his back into Walter's chest, flipped over and pinned the blue haired teen to the ground, "No," he replied, "and don't call me a kitty cat.".
"Alright, break it up!" Babkak shouted.
Kovu stood up, and stared at Walter as he remained on the turf, blood was trickling out of his arms and left cheek and even out his nose, not to mention all the bruises he had.
Kovu knew he was in for it.
"Go to the nurse." Babkak told Walter, "Tell her you landed in that thorn bush over there."
"Why not just…" Walter started.
"Alan go with him." Babkak said, and the two boys left the field.
"As for you," Bakak turned to Kovu, "What do you call that?"
"Self defense?" Kovu answered nervously.
"I call that raw talent!" Babkak corrected, "Meet me here after school and I'll show you something you've probably never seen before.
"What's that?"
"A rule book."
But what Kovu didn't realize was that his shirt had ripped when he flipped over…
And the team had a clear view of some of the vertical scars that ran down his back.
"So are you ready to experience the magic that is… the theatre?!" Squimmy asked excitedly as they sat down in the seats of the auditorium.
"Um… I guess…" Katrina sat down next to Squimmy. She practically jumped out of her skin when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Well if it ain't ev'ryone's favorite Fo' legg'd tap dancer!"
Katrina whipped her head towards Squimmy and saw that there was a boy in the row in seat in front of her. He had brown hair, bright blue eyes, and wore a lot of black and gray. Squimmy just stared into his eyes, gave a small smile that almost looked embarrassed, and her cheeks were beginning to turn a little pink.
"HOLY NEPTUNE, WOULD YOU JUST KISS HIM ALREADY?!"
Squimmy jumped, "Squidmon!"
"Alright everyone we're going to get quiet now." Squidward instructed as he stood on the stage, "Now, we have a new student in our class who just got in yesterday. Let's welcome Katrina Plankton."
All eyes went straight to Katty and she slumped down in her seat, trying to seem as small as possible.
"Plankton?! As in Sheldon J?!" A platinum blonde haired boy wearing shades of icy blue demanded.
"Got a problem with that, Edwin?" Amelia asked.
"Can she even sing?!" Edwin asked, "Can she dance? Can she do anything?"
"Isn't the point of a class to learn?" Amelia snapped back, "Some of us don't know what our talents are."
"Alright! That's enough!" Squidward snapped, "Now, we're going to go over the choreography for 'Be our Guest' which we are doing two thursdays from now. For the family day barbeque, so everyone up on stage."
"Family day?" Katty asked Squimmy.
"Every so often throughout the year, we have a week of half days, and our parents come to the school, and on the last day of the week we have no classes, and we just we just spend the day with our families." Squimmy explained.
"Wow… must be nice…" Katty thought aloud.
"Why don't you want to kiss me?" the brown haired boy asked Squimmy.
"Gavin…" Squimmy started, with a playful giggle.
"Come on. Just give me something." Gavin said as he leaned into the teal haired girl.
"Places everyone." Squidward said and the class got into their formation, leaving Katrina standing in front of them not knowing what to do.
"Oh! Uh…" Squidward stuttered when he noticed Katrina awkwardly standing next to him. "just sit down in the audience watch the choreography, ok? Then I can figure out where to place… you…" he said the last part as if he were trying to think about where Katrina should go in the formation.
Katrina sat down where had been sitting and watched her classmates. It didn't seem like it was that difficult, but she still didn't know if she had it in her to dance.
"Alright! Katrina, think you can handle that?" Squidward asked Katty.
"Ummm… I guess…" Katrina said uneasily.
"Well then come stand between Squidmon and Sqiumantha."
Katty quickly made her way up to the stage, trying to ignore all of the stares that seemed to be boring into her. Squimmy gave a reassuring smile.
"You'll be great!" Amelia said reassuringly.
"Alright, we're going to go over this slowly." Squidward told the class.
"Why should we go slow just for this island dwelling scum-bag?" Edwin asked.
Katty didn't know how to react, but Amelia looked terribly offended, "Do not go insulting those of us who live on islands, just because you can't handle the fact that there is a villain kid in our ranks." She scolded.
Edwin immediately blushed, "Did… did I say island? He asked rhetorically, "I… I meant to say isle…"
"Tha' still doesn' change wha' you said." Gavin stated.
"STOP IT ALL OF YOU!" Squidward shouted. "We are going to run through this, and we're going to it slow so that the new student is able to catch up. I would do the same thing for a new student from New Oz. Do we all understand this?"
"Yes Mr. Tentacles." Was the class's response.
"Good. Ready? And… 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8…"
As Squidward repeated the eight count, the whole class recited the lyrics to the song and did the choreography, Katty found herself following along unexpectedly well… and it was even kind of fun!
"Katrina, spin to the right." She heard Squidward say, and gladly did so, but then felt one of her feet slip and she fell flat on her side. She could hear some of the kids laughing at her, and she felt humiliated.
"You alrigh' Ka-woah!" Gavin was cut off when he stepped forward and slipped himself, landing on one of his knees with a pain-filled grunt.
"I'm fine." Katty replied.
"Edwin what is wrong with you?!" Katty heard Squimmy demand.
"Where's your proof I did this?"Edwin asked.
"The floor is covered in ice!" Squimmy replied.
Sure enough, Katty could feel that the surface of the stage was now slick and wet.
It had been covered in ice.
"Everyone, go sit down. We'll give the ice a minute to melt." Squidward said. Then he turned to Edwin, his eyes flashing with anger. "Come with me."
The whole class watched as Squidward led Edwin out of the auditorium. As soon as they closed the door behind them, the whole class erupted into chatter.
"What about Leon?" Katty asked Squimmy.
"What about him?" Squimmy asked.
"Well… from what Elle said earlier, it sounded like…"
"Look, take whatever Elle says in a joking manner with a pinch to sea salt. She knows I'm with Gavin, but Leon's had a crush on me since we were kids."
"Um… I know you told me to wait until after school, but… why were you in my dream? Who was that you were with?"
Squimmy sighed, "I can tell you this right now…"
"What? What is it?"
Squimmy looked Katty straight in the eye, if it was supposed to show she was telling the truth, it didn't make what she said any less mind boggling.
"You weren't dreaming."
