What the heck is Jake gonna do? Wally couldn't think of anything else as he fallowed his brothers. He had begun to beat himself up over it too. Why hadn't he just left the others and walked home alone?Why? Why? WHY! Hadn't he done that. He should have known that Jake would have cooked up something in the time they spent in the detention room; After all he was a very evil boy. What said evil boy was thinking about doing, Wally had no idea. Throw rotten food? Beat them up? Push them in front of a moving car? None of these seemed realistic because they didn't have rotten food and the latter two sounded a bit too violent, even for Jake. Wally did a quick intake of breath when he saw the girls leaning up against the side of their garage... waiting for them. They seemed to have expected the boys' fallowing them home and were now trying to scope them out to see what they had up their sleeves.
Josh, Wally and Peter all automatically stopped about six feet in front of the Malloys but Jake just kept heading straight for Eddie at a steady pace. Wow this is kinda weird Wally thought why isn't he stopping? Oh my gosh is he really so mad that hes gonna try to beat her up? Wait a second. What? WHAT? OH MY GOSH WHAT IS HE DOING?! No he isn't... he wouldn't... oh yes he would. HOLY COW! Wally looked around at how everyone else was taking this in and they all look just as shocked as him. Josh looked as if his jaw was going to fall to the ground at any second. After Jake was finished he just looked at Eddie and said nonchalantly "see you in class tomorrow". One would have thought that he would be running away right now but no he just strolled on over to the bridge, taking his sweet time like,he was enjoying the scenery; Eddie appeared to be frozen in place so it wasn't like she could chase him anyway.
The second the Hatfords' door closed all the Josh attacked " WHAT was THAT?!".
Jake grinned again "My revenge". Josh looked as confused as Wally felt.
"But- but. You KISSED her."
"I know"
"Umm... WHY?"Josh was practically screaming out of frustration by now. He and Jake had always had a sort of twin telepathy thing going on and almost always understood what the other was thinking.
Jake began laughing like a mad man "Don't either of you see the sheer brilliance of what I just did? All day, locked in detention I was furious and I kept trying to think of a way to get her back for what she did; Caroline and Beth may have went along with it but you know it was Eddie's scheme. The problem was everything I thought of seemed to juvenile or had been done before. I even thought of using honey to tar and feather them and I mean how dumb is that. That's when I thought of just going up and calmly kissing her then leaving with no explanation. It was such a perfect idea! She wont tell anyone at school because she'll be to embarrassed and you can bet she'll make Beth and Caroline keep their mouths shut too. And now shes gonna be torturing herself all day trying to figure out why I did it; I just wish I could be there to see her anguish up close."
Well, Wally thought my brother's officially a complete psycho.
