The next day, I walked into first period to see Becky, Tobey, Argus, Fellan, Cunny, Ovis, and Ecce.
"Yo! Why does everything seem so... I dunno... set up?" I inquired.
" There's nothing of your concern, if you may know." Tobey snapped at me.
"Damn... what's got him in a depressing mood?"
" We've been asking everyone all morning." Argus said.
"Except Becky. I have no clue why, but it seems that their date didn't go so well." Ovis added.
"Oh it went well..." Fellan stated.
"But it ended awkwardly." Cunny replied.
"Tobey's not depressed, just a bit frustrated."
" And Becky's just thinking of things."
"Are they still together?" I asked the twins.
" Yeah." They said simultaneously.
"I sense some tension between the two. Now I really wanna know what happened." I remarked.
" Why don't you tell us how you're date went, Seminara." Tobey put a big smile on his face."Edwards is acting a bit shy around you."
" Becky's acting the same damn way." I retorted.
"Hmm..." Ovis said, deep in thought." I've watched the movies. And actual movies for your information. This is a Gordon problem."
"A Gordon problem indeed. You see... what happened was-" Fellan started.
"I will rip out your throat if you say another word." Tobey growled.
"Besides... does anyone know why Ecce's acting so shy, like he's still that boy who was too afraid to give Seminara a valentine eight months ago?" Becky wondered.
"Oh we know..." Ovis, Fellan, and Cunny said in unison.
" If you can't tell anyone about Tobey's date, you can't tell about mine." Ecce protested.
" And if you can't tell anyone about Ecce's date, you can't tell about mine." Tobey said.
" Alright!" Argus exclaimed."So Ecce came home at like... 10:15. Oppas and I asked him about his date. He wouldn't tell us the specifics, but he said something about bad timing and Ovis."
"He's just mad cause I came outside the second he was about to grope my sister. That's how you say it in Fair City, right?" Ovis scoffed, rolling his eyes. I turned to Ecce for a quick second to see his face was red." Cause we're old-school. We say pet, not grope, in NC."
"Ha..." Tobey chuckled."So that's the story? I never knew Ecce would've had the guts to try that."
" Shut up, Tobey!" Ecce spat out.
"Oh Tobey has an embarrassing story too." Fellan joined in." Except his approach was... well... in my terms stupid."
"Stupid?!" Tobey exclaimed.
"Oh come on, brother. I liked his plan." Cunny retorted.
"A bit less arguing, boys. A bit more spilling." I said, hurrying it along. Becky stood up.
"I think I hear Ms. Question robbing a bank. I'll be back." Becky hesitated, slowly walking away.
"Alright..." I clapped my hands together." What happened?"
"It was Tobey's birthday yesterday-" Cunny started for once.
"-and he asked Becky-" Fellan continued.
"-not begged-"
"-nor pleaded-"
"-to cross the bridge."
"To be lit be lamplight."
"To take it-"
"-to the next level."
"To-"
"Will you get on with it and stop with your Neutral County slogans?!" Tobey interrupted. The twins dropped their shoulders and narrowed their blue eyes at Tobey.
" Damn. Make-" Fellan said plainly
"-it boring, why don't you." Cunny finished in equal tone. The two sighed.
" He asked Becky to make love to him." Cunny and Fellan said simultaneously. I literally almost fell off of my seat. I actually smacked myself for a second, but that was to piss off Tobey. Ecce's jaw dropped in shock.
"Theodore McCallister the Third." I teased, shaking my head."I never knew you would've done that."
"It was all the talk in Mrs. Doyle's class!" Tobey started rubbing his hands in his hair."That and all the work we're doing for Two-Brains! And those thoughts that Ovis and Cunnen shoved into my head!"
" Which you liked." Ovis and Cunny coughed. I silently laughed.
"Shut up!" Tobey yelled. He slowly looked up and smirked at me."Strange how you're making fun of me when your boyfriend tried to seduce you not too long ago."
" Not seduce." Ecce countered."Just..."
"Uh-huh..." Tobey crossed his arms." Just what, Ecce?"
"Boys!" I exclaimed."If we both stop this now, we could stop those twins from making our situations worse." At that moment, I slapped my forehead. Cunny and Fellan looked at each other.
" Don't slap your face." Fellan said.
"We already made fun of you." Cunny added.
" We haven't-"
"-made fun of-"
"-Tobey yet."
"Uh... yes you did." Tobey joined in.
"We mean-"
"-that we-"
"-haven't mocked-"
"-your voice yet."
"Oh come on!" For the first time in like... forever, the narrator decides to join into the conversation."Tobey doesn't even have a chapter to look back to."
" Thanks, Narrator." Tobey smiled.
"Oh chill! You don't decide to join the conversation until now. You have no input." I retorted. Then an idea came to me." Let's do a flashback!"
"Great idea! Now it's fair. Seminara and Ecce got a chapter. It's only equally fair that Tobey and Becky get a chapter." The Narrator said, agreeing with me."Oh this is gonna be funny!"
"Ooh! Let's do it in Tobey's point of view!" I said, excited.
"How about not..." Tobey commented.
"I'm telling the story. It's third person." The Narrator flew back into her seat.
"So what happened?" She asked.
"Oh, you're getting a flashback, Becky. Back to last night." The Narrator informed.
" What? I thought I timed that leave perfectly? You mean one of those two didn't tell Seminara and the rest about what Tobey asked me?" Becky inquired.
" Oh they did. It's just not fair to mention you two yet the readers don't get a chapter to understand just what's going on." The Narrator pointed out." Think of it as equal justice."
"Equal justice... It is highly unequal. Ecce and Tobey did two different things."
" Both were going to lead to sex one way or another. So... it's the same thing except Tobey didn't think to try to seduce you first and just asked. Ecce didn't ask but inferred his intentions. It's like two sides to a mirror." The Narrator explained.
" What happened to getting our own chapter?" Tobey said sarcastically."You seem to be having a good time telling our story."
"It was a funny story..."
"Dammit, dude!" Ovis shouted." Just play the damn flashback!"
" Aren't you supposed to be at Woodview Elementary?" The Narrator said, equally annoyed.
"Shhh!" Ovis commanded." Don't go telling no one!"
"Alright. I won't tell Mr. Parkson about your absence." The Narrator paused for a bit." Alright... it was 6:00 PM on October 16, 2015..."
"Oh god, just kill me..." Tobey complained.
"I don't care how uncomfortable you get, we're doing this flashback." The Narrator retorted. And the flashback began.
