Spike Spigel slammed his locker. He had gotten another detention for falling asleep in math class. It wasn't HIS fault that he had stayed up all night working on his stupid history project. To top it all off, his mother had yelled at him for laying it off until ten thirty. Ideas just didn't come to Spike until he was half asleep anyway.
Spike walked into the lunchroom and took his seat next to Vicious and across from Jet and Andy. The others could see his frustration by the way he threw his backpack down and violently stabbed his meat loaf with a fork.
"Another detention, eh Spike?" Asked Jet. Spike was about to answer when Andy interrupted.
"You know, I think he got turned down by some chick who would rather go out with a gorgeous man (he checked out his reflection in his spoon) like. me for example," he finished rudely. A small laugh came from the table behind them.
"I've seen fish that are more attractive," said Faye Valentine, who had apparently been eavesdropping on their whole conversation. To Spike that was all that girls did, flirt and eavesdrop.
During 8th period, in detention, Spike pretended to be diligently working on the math assignment that he had to redo. What the sleeping teacher would never have guessed, if he was awake anyway, was that Spike was drawing comics of Andy getting his head blown off with a cannonball, being dipped in a vat of lava, getting his head stuck in a cat box, that kind of stuff. He didn't even look up when the door opened and two girls in designer coats walked in and dropped their detention slips on the sleeping teacher's desk. Nor did he see these girls sit down at the table, directly across from him. However, he did see a hand with bubblegum pink nails take his math book. He looked up, expecting to see the teacher but instead he saw Faye and her sidekick, Julia.
"Hey Spike," Julia said in a flirtatious voice. She winked at him and blew a bubble of bubblegum.
"Uhhhhhh, hi," he replied. "What are you in for?"
"Skipping class, but anyway, we wanted to tell you that out of all of the guys in Yoshiba Jr. High, you are the one we trust most. We wanted you to know that." She smiled showing her perfect white teeth.
"What are you two sucking up to me for," He leaned back in his chair and smiled, showing his braces.
"Listen Spike," Faye said, lowering her voice to a whisper. "We need your help baby-sitting a three-year-old and her puppy on Friday, please? Last time, she wanted us to teach karate and I almost broke my ankle. You, know karate, you can help us."
"It's Jeet Kune Do," Spike corrected. "I don't know, I am a busy man, you know."
"Okay, but I guess you don't want these four tickets to the Rock fest that's coming up. Oh well." Faye waved four tickets to the upcoming Rock Fest that Spike couldn't get tickets to.
"Okay, I'll help you." Spike agreed.
'What have I gotten myself into,' he thought.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This Chapter used to be all messed up because, well, it was my first ever fanfic. Anywho... I fixed it up and I think it'll be okay now. If you are reading this for the first time, be grateful... it was really jacked up.
