Hi! Back again... Next Chap

__________________________________________________________________________


ALL RIGHT!!! Lunch! Buttercup was really hungry, because she hadn't eaten breakfast. She couldn't wait to see that kid, Brian's skills in Phys. Ed. If he was anything like his confidence portrayed, he'd probably kick MOST peoples butts. Not including mine. She thought to herself, as she sat down at her usual table by Mitch and the boys. She looked at Mitch, but her eyes didn't stay on his face. She didn't know why, but they gravitated towards Brian, and stopped. She stared for a long time until he caught her. A sly smirk crept over his face, and he waved. Buttercup blushed, hoped he didn't notice, and waved back. He motioned for her to come over and sit with him. Why not? She thought to herself.

"Yo, Mitch, I'm gonna go sit with that new boy."

"Huh? Yeah, Ok."


Butch watched as she brought all her food over to the table.

"Wassup, Buttercup?"

"Quit rhyming me like that. Save it for English. So, ready to get stomped in Phys Ed?

"Only person getting stomped is you. Anyways, I think maybe you should loose the cocky attitude of yours. Your not impossible to beat, you know. Just like those guys you beat before, your counterparts, remember? They were all the newspaper talked about for ages after you beat them. What were they called? RowdyRuff Boys, right?" He said this like it meant nothing. He didn't want Buttercup to figure out his true identity, right? So by mentioning the papers after he was destroyed, that would mean he was around after he was destroyed. So how could he be one of them?

"Oh... yeah. There are some things we can't control, and we do have some weakness', but you wont know them in Phys Ed." Buttercup started to think about the black haired boy she had kissed. She had only kissed him to destroy him, but she knew now she had wanted to kiss him all along. He was as strong as her, as powerful. He was tough, and witty. He was her equal in every way. And to see him again was all she wanted.

But that's stupid. There's no way the RRB could have been revived. I'll never see how he looks today, or ever, for that matter. There's just no way. No F***in' Way.

Buttercup felt like crying. She felt like telling Brian never to talk about the RRB again. She felt like she could die whenever she thought about her lost counterpart.

"Whoa, Buttercup, sorry." Butch had noticed the tears building in her eyes.

"It's not you. It's just, this whole, weird, thing happened with the RRB. I'd really prefer not talking about it." Buttercup said, wiping away the tears.


Brian and Buttercup sat all through lunch together, talking and laughing. Before they knew it, it was time for phys ed.

Phys Ed class was running races that day and Buttercup couldn't wait to race Brian. She ran to the starting line, and Brian ran right behind her.

"Three, Two, One, GO!"

Buttercup ran as fast as she could. She was so confident that she would beat everyone that she closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she heard cheering.

Have I won already? She thought. But when she looked down, she was no where near the finish line. She looked up and saw Brian in the midst of a huge crowd of people. BRIAN WON???? What alternate reality have I stepped into? She thought to herself. She ran up to join the crowd.

"Yo, Brian! Way to Go!" She said.

"And again, I say, Wassup Buttercup?" He said with a triumphant grin.

"Shut up." Buttercup said, smiling.

"Why?"

Buttercup threw a baseball at his face, and he got a huge lump on his head.

"That's Why." She giggled.


As Buttercup was on the way home from school, she put her newest cd into her walkman. It was the newest "Pixi-Dust" cd. As she flipped through the music, she stopped at no. 7. It was called "Not Your Juliet". She stopped to listen to it.

Stop treating me like I'm a child

I can fend for myself

All your roses and your candies

Make me loose my mental health

I wish you'd learn it's not the gifts

That make me like you so

But no, you don't understand

So I gotta let you go

(Chorus)

I'm not your Juliet

Never was, Never Will

Be your one and only love, Whoa, whoa

I'm not your Juliet

Can't you see, Can't you see

Your not the one I'm thinkin' of, Oh No

(end of c)

That boy, in the back of the classroom

He treats me with respect

It's hard for me to keep all my

Emotions in check

He can't buy me all your gifts

But I wish that he were mine

I wish that I could be around him

Every minute of the time

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

So many girls want a

Prince Charming

But they don't realize the pain

You give me

You make me wish that my

Prince Charming

Was someone who had time

To talk to me

(Chorus 2x)


Buttercup suddenly understood why she couldn't stand Mitch anymore. She felt like the girl in the song. Like Mitch never had time to talk to her. But Brian did. And she liked him for that.


"Yo, Buttercup, wannagototheformalwithme?" said Mitch as soon as she walked through the door of the school building.

She saw the gleaming hope in his eyes and she just couldn't turn him down.

"Um... sure."

Mitch walked away in a daze, and Buttercup caught sight of Brian.

"So... you're actually going with him to that thing?"

"Yeah."

Brian stood up from where he was sitting, and walked up to her.

"So, I won the race yesterday."

"Yeah. So?"

"Well, aren't you gonna say I was right?"

"No Way! Rematch. Tomorrow. Track after school. Be there."

"Why, so I can kick your a** all over the track again? I imagine that could get boring after a while."

"Well, me winning should make it interesting."

They walked off into their classroom, as Buttercup then thought about Brian, and how the boy couldn't be what he seems.
