Boys Will Be Boys

by Paintdripps

If you're a girl in middle school or high school, you've probably had your share of ridiculous encounters with the sometimes annoying, sometimes lovable species we call boys. This is a collection of one-shots full of those. Crack. Warnings inside; author is getting a bit tired of hearing the same old song and dance.

20. Cooties? Still?

Thanks to Percabethandfaxlover for getting me back into the swing of things. Lately, I've pretty much forgotten about (there's a shocker!). I hope you guys haven't forgotten about me, though. So sorry about not updating, but I've been busy. And I've had a lot of material, but not… good material.

Right. Again, I've been getting quite a few reviews saying how stupid and sexist this is. Stupid? Admittedly, yes. But isn't that the goal of humor? Sexist? Again, admittedly, yes. Announcement: to you boys out there who don't do such stupid things, this wasn't supposed to be against you. This was supposed to be… a view into MY life, MY experiences, MY laughs. So, um, sorry.

Wow, I hit twenty! :DD

Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Nor will I ever. Well, I own the apology shown above. That's it.

Episode 20: Cooties? Still?

NICO AND RACHEL

Boys and girls can be just friends, can't they?

Unfortunately, most adults (and highschoolers) don't seem to think so.

As Nico and Rachel walked down the hall, chatting and laughing like the best of friends, they ran into Ms. Linares.

"Rachel! How's my favorite Algebra II student?" Ms. Linares asked warmly.

Rachel blushed. "Fine, thanks!"

"And who's your friend? I don't believe I have him in any of my classes…" Ms. Linares peered at Nico curiously over the rim of her spectacles.

"He's in Geo," explained Rachel.

"Hi," Nico said, waving.

"He's a nice boy," Ms. Linares commented, which made Rachel flush a bit more. "Are you two a couple?"

"What!" Nico spat.

Rachel's face promptly turned the same shade of red as her hair. "No!"

"Girls have cooties!" Nico yelled.

"I was just asking," the Algebra II teacher said, taken aback.

"Girls don't have cooties!" Rachel shrieked.

"I thought the cooties didn't live past the second grade." Ms. Linares was, in fact, thoroughly baffled.

"Apparently not," Rachel huffed.

Reviews would be nice. Yes, it's short, I know. I'm hoping to get another chapter up later today or tomorrow.

And someone give Percabethandfaxlover a round of applause for reminding me that Boys Will Be Boys needed to be updated! ^.^
