"I...Um.. Sure. Y-yeah I will." Freddy walked out into the hallway. "Zack?" he asked cautiously. He walked into the boys' bathroom. "Hey Zack.. What's up?.." said Freddy. "Oh save it Jones! Once again, you got your girl. Congratulations!" snapped Zack. "Hey man! She said no to me more than once!" retorted Freddy. "Aw, well poor Freddy. How can the world be so cruel?" said Zack sarcasticly. "Dude! What's wrong? You never told me you liked her and you didn't tell HER that either! You can't get mad at me! Its not my fault! She won't go out with me because she wants us still to be friends!" yelled Freddy. "Well then isn't she perfect? I bet she's a slut, man!" yelled Zack. That was it. Freddy lurched forward at him, shoving him to the ground. "Don't say that about her! You don't know that!!" screamed Freddy. Zack pushed Freddy off of him. He pushed Freddy into the door and Freddy fell out. Zack ran after him. "What was that?" asked Summer. The class walked outside of the classroom. "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" they yelled. "HEY! Stop it NOW!" bellowed Dewey. He pulled them apart. Isabelle held Freddy back, while Katie held back Zack. "Now what's going on?" demanded Dewey. "Zack called Isabelle a slut!" yelled Freddy. "You called me a WHAT?!?" shouted Isabelle. She jumped forward to try to get Zack, but Alicia and Tomika held her back. "Don't." warned Tomika. "Everyone inside!" commanded Dewey. They all walked inside, but kept Freddy and Zack separate.
"You guys can't fight over a girl! You've been friends way too long!" said Dewey. "Fine whatever." said Freddy. Dewey remembered that face. Freddy put on that face when Dewey yelled at him for running off into a van with the 'real rockers.' "And Zack, man, you can't be mad at Freddy if you didn't let him know you liked her. He didn't know!" said Dewey. "Sure." said Zack. Dewey remembered that face too. Zack put on that face when his father had yelled at him in the school parking lot. "Now you guys, I can't always play peacemaker. You gotta learn to figure stuff out on your own. I only helped because you were about to bite each other's head off!" Dewey said trying to lighten the mood. "Now, can we get back to practice?" They both nodded. Isabelle walked over to Dewey. "Can I talk to you?"
Dewey took Isabelle into the hallway. "What's up Isabelle?" said Dewey calmly. "It's all my fault. If I wouldn't of came then they wouldn't be fighting over me, I wouldn't of ruined their friendship either!" Isabelle had tears running down her cheeks. "No no no. Isabelle, listen. If you wouldn't of come, then we wouldn't have even MORE originality and two awesome drummers!" explained Dewey. "You only tried to do the right thing Isabelle. Nobody's perfect." "Yeah... I guess you're right. I just feel bad for everything I've done." said Isabelle, wiping her tears. "Come on, let's go back to band practice." The two of them walked back in. Nothing looked as if they had had another war. "Ok you guys! Back to positions!" called Dewey.
"Alright guys. Good practice, but it has to be GREAT! The competition is in two weeks." said Dewey. Isabelle raised her hand. "Yup?" "I.. I don't think I should be in the band anymore." said Isabelle. Summer gasped. Katie almost dropped her guitar. "Why not?" asked Dewey. "How are we going to do our double drum solo?!?" asked Summer franticly. "We need you Isabelle!" cried Katie. "We can go on without her guys." snapped Zack. "She doesn't make up this band, you know." Marta glared at him. "What?" mouthed Zack. "Are.. Are you sure Isabelle?" asked Dewey sincerely. Isabelle didn't respond. After a minute or two, she said "Well, I don't want to but I think it's best for the band and for Freddy and Zack's sake." Isabelle looked down.
The bell rang and they got their things ready and walked out. "Hey." said Zack slowly to Isabelle. She turned around startled. "Oh.. Why would you want to talk to the slut for?" snapped Isabelle. "I'm sorry.." said Zack. She turned back around. "Hey!" said Zack. "I'm talking to you." She turned around and glared. Zack kissed her. Freddy stopped walking. He saw it all.
