Chapter 28

Ryland's Point of View

Finally. The end of the day. I grabbed my back pack and stood by the door.

Riker, Rocky, and Ross all waddled their way in. They must've picked that technique up from Penguin Ratliff.

"Hey, little buddy! So, which girls you go your pretty eyes on, huh?" Rocky smiled like an idiot.

"Uh, first, stop looking like the Cheshire Cat, and second, anything with lady parts. The dance is tomorrow. We're running out of time! Soon it'll be my Senior dance… MY SENIOR CITIZEN DANCE!"

"Calm down, Kiddo! We're here to help! We SO should've made a superhero alliance name!" Riker's light bulb went off.

"We should've! Dang. Well, anyway, sit back and watch the Roc ruffle some feathers!" Rocky fixed his shirt a little. And who did he walk up to? Yes, the prettiest girl in the ENTIRE home school program… Jess.

"Hey, you're so pretty, you put Ramona to shame…" He clicked his mouth a few times.

I took mental notes- make R5 puns to girls who have no idea who they are and sound like a creaking rocking chair… Crap, I am doomed.

Jess blinked her pretty eyes a few times, then-

SMACK! She slapped him across the face.

"Mom, that weird guy tried to rape me!" Jess called.

Jess's mom ran over to Rocky and started screaming in his face, "I'LL CALL THE POLICE ON YOU ROWDY PREDATORS! YO'RE ABSOLUTELY SICK!"

"Ma'am I'm so sorry, I was showing-"

This time, she slapped him across the face.

As soon as her mother turned away, Jess made the 'call me' symbol with her hands and ran off giggling.

I looked around and realized I was on the ground from laughing so hard.

"You're a child molester!" Ross called in a sing-song voice.

"Oh, shut up! It worked with Iris!

"At least she'd heard the song before!" Riker exclaimed.

"And at least she wasn't TWELVE!" Ross threw his arms out.

"Ryland… You're unusually quiet…" Rocky sighed.

I paused. "Consider yourself lucky Iris didn't slap you in the face… Little buddy…" The guys laughed.

"She's beautiful!"

"Yeah, exactly… That's why you're lucky!" I laughed.

"She's WAY out of your league!" Riker called.

"Let's just GET OUT OF HERE!"

Rocky stormed out of the room, and we followed him to the car, as jolly as Santa Claus on several sugar highs at once.

"Guys, I still don't have a date to the dance! Because, apparently, you guys suck at getting girls even more than I thought. At least you guys are in a semi-cool band…"

"HEY!" They yelled at once.

"Well, it's TRUE!" Rocky yelled after.

"…What? Did you just agree with me… That you guys suck at getting girls and your band is only semi-cool…? "

"No, why would I do that? That's offensive to me!"

"Well, then why did you just say 'Well, it's TRUE'?" Riker asked.

"Because I just proved that you can drink a liter of soda in under 10 minutes…"

"I put my stupid head in my stupid hands.

Then it hit me.

"Wait! I think I've got an idea…"

"About soda?"

"…"

"I like soda."

Alright, ya'll, so unfortunately none of you guessed my favorite line correctly... I do love the tomato line though! But, my favorite line was when Ryland said, "Oh I might just break a hip this'll be so fun!"

I totally improvised the tomato thing, I didn't have that originally! :)

So... New challenge... For the same prize as the last one...

1. The first person who correctly guesses in reviews what kind of soda Rocky was drinking in this chapter, gets to be my BFF in my next R5 Story!

Love you oodles and oodles,
