Childish Fights
Matt watched Katie as she ran off in the direction that Freddy and Zack went to. He watched her and realized how much he wanted his old girlfriend back. How much he wanted to hold her and tell her he loved her. Matt couldn't believe that he had ever felt so much just for a girl. Before he realized it he had sat down on the front porch and cried.
Meanwhile
"Freddy! Zack!"
"Freddy!! Zack!!"
"FREEEEEEEDDDDDYYYYY!!!!!! ZAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!!"
Before the two boys could turn around Katie had tackled both of them.
"Katie..."
"Hmmm?"
"Geroff me."
"Ooops, sorry guys but you didn't fucking hear me."
"Of course we heard you but Zack here wanted to trick ya."
"Sorry, dude I didn't know she'd tackle us." Said Zack as he was brushing himself off. Katie stuck her tongue out at Zack. He stuck his tongue back out at her.
"Well babe..."
"Stop saying that."
"Sorry again."
"Sheesh."
"So Katie, whatsup?"
"Ummm...how 'bout WE GOT IT WITH METALLICA!!!!"
"Really?!"
"Would I lie to you Zack?"
"Well, yes actually..."
Katie stuck her tongue out at Zack again.
"Guys quit. So, want to celebrate?"
"Sure! Wait, wouldn't you prefer to do this with Summer and Dewey?"
"Dewey: yes, Summer: frankly no. Sorry Kate if she's your best friend but I despise her."
"Right dude, and if she dies all of a sudden you'd cry!"
"Of course not. I'd be partying all night."
"I don't believe that."
"So Fred, man, do you want to party tomorrow night. I can tell the guyz."
"Are you kidding, of course!"
So the two boys decided to make some calls...
Katie rolled her eyes. She felt that the tension between her two best friends was getting tiring. She just had to resolve it.
Katie's POV
"Of course not. I'd be partying all night."
"I don't believe that." Freddy said. I just rolled my eyes. Zack was cool and all but when it came to my best friend (well one of them anyway) he was spiteful about that spat ten months ago. It must have been that bad. Unless they haven't noticed its kinda affecting Freddy and I also. I mean they haven't at least been trying to resolve it. sigh
I looked back at the guys, they were discussing the party
Well, maybe I can try to resolve it...suuuurrrrree....hmmm...
"So Freddy, Zack what now?" I asked. Now they were arguing over whether we should go-kart or go catch a movie that weekend.
"Hmmmm, I think we should go to the moon."
"Aw man! Freddy, I thought we were going to Mars?"
"Oh yeah."
"Seriously!"
"Hit the arcade?"
"Its full of bored, sad little kids and teens alike hoping to unbore themselves this summer by immersing themselves in the glow of pac-man or the like." I said in a rather bored tone. I just really was tired of the arcade.
"So I guess ya don't want to go to the arcade." Zack asked, his eyebrow raised.
"Duh no Zack." Freddy stared back at him.
"Being sarcastic dude."
"Sorry."
"Hey I know..."
"What?" the boys said in unison.
"Remember when we were like in the second grade we had these fights."
"Oh yeah! Those water fights along the street where Dewey apartment is." Zack suddenly remembered.
"Why'd we do those childish fights anyway?"
"Summer equals boredom plus its hot. The arcade was also rare in this side of town."
"Oh yeah, yeah, that's right Zack and then we were so loud that when Dewey's old band..."
"You mean No Vacancy?"
"No! Y'know, the one when Ned was a Evil Satanic Sex God"
"Oh yeah man, um, what was it?"
"Freakin' Unbelievable Crap Kickers" I replied.
"FUCK for short."
"Yeah."
"You were sayin Zack, bout when we were kids."
"I said we played so loud that Dewey and Ned threw water balloons at us."
"Not that it helped."
"Coz we caught em and threw them right back at them!"
The two boys laughed and exchanged hi-5s. I wanted to start being a kid already so I just had to say
"Well, are we gonna play or what?"
"Of course! Call the gang dudes! We're gonna act like kids!" Freddy said
"Wait," Zack started. We looked at him quite intently, we wanted to start ASAP.
"Guys, its four for a team right but since its only gonna be the band, in other words us, we're only seven."
"I know the perfect member." I said. Or rather members.
"Okay so you bring him or her over. cough Vaneza cough"
Zack had elbowed Freddy in the ribs.
"Man, that hurt dude!"
"Geez, sorry." He acted sorry but I saw him snicker.
"So like I was saying ,bring hoses and stuff like that. We're gonna have a good time."
At around 4:30 in the afternoon we were all settled. Freddy asked me who I brought and I replied...
"Matt, Ezra, Blur and Sam."
"Great. So now we're 11." Freddy commented, there was sarcasm dripping from his voice. Ezra and Blur glared at him.
"Not at all, you see Freddy you gave me an idea when you suggested that I bring Vaneza."
Freddy had winked at Zack who was looking quite red at this point. I knew him, he was quite happy that I brought her.
"So I did."
"Um, Matt boy, where's Rat and Milo?" Freddy asked.
Matt looked pretty cool with the whole thing. He replied, "the Rat had to leave for Virginia. Sick aunt. Milo tagged along, he said he was bored. Nuff said."
"Well, are you gonna fight or are ya gonna fight?"
"I'm gonna fight. I never back down from one."
"Neither do I. I'll go easy on ya!"
"Why the hell should you."
"I've always been easy on wimps."
"Is that a threat?"
"Maybe...lets do this." They looked right about ready to kill each other when they had suddenly had been stopped by a small voice.
"Guys, please don't get too into this, its just a game." Marta started. She had always been a peacemaker. "We'll play a good clean fight and so there will be no rivalry I'm gonna be one of the people to pick teams. Who'll be my challenger?"
"I will!" Blur started. I figured he would if Freddy and Matt wouldn't. I stopped to think for a while, why was Freddy being so aggressive to Matt? Vice-versa? Was it me? Damn straight it was. I hope not. But I had the nagging feeling it was...
"Katie!"
"wha?"
"I pick Katie."
"I turned around and saw myself staring at Blur. He had picked me for his team? I was there alongside Matt, Ezra, and Sam. On the other team was Marta, Tomika, Alicia, Zack and Freddy. The only ones left were Laurence and Vaneza.
I looked at the boys on the other team. Freddy looked apprehensive that I was in the other team rather than with them. He looked as if I had picked this. I glanced at him as if to say its not my choice to be here.
I snapped back into reality when Marta called to our team. We had Vaneza on our side while Laurence was on the other side.
'Let the games begin. I thought.'
"WAAAIIIT!!!" cried Sam before Laurence could shoot him with the hose. All of us turned to stare at him.
"What happens when you get hit by water? Do you continue playing or do you get dragged off to like the opposing team's base?"
Tomika was the one who answered...
"We never really played that way, all we cared about was beating the heat."
"Oh okay, then lets continue...ready, aim, fi..."
"WAAAAAIIIT!!!" it came from Blur this time.
"Yeah?" Freddy asked.
"Well why don't we make this competitive."
"Go on..."
"Every time one gets wet by an opponent that guy has to go to the base of the opposing team."
"How do we win?"
"Simple, either catch all the members of your opposing team or touch the base"
"What if two people who get hit by the hose get hit by each other at the same time?"
"Um, you both go free I guess. Any more questions?"
"Yeah, will there be anyone guarding the base?"
"Of course, but when he or she wants to get some action then he or she has to exchange with another member. So lets assign the bases. Marta?"
"We're taking the lamppost near Dewey's apartment."
"Cool. So we're taking that fire hyrdrant. Who's your guard?"
"Ummm, I pick Alicia to guard."
"Alright so our guard will be...Sam! So are we ready?"
"Of course!"
So within thirty seconds of those two words hoses blasted everywhere. We were all running and laughing and 15 minutes into the game we had captured Laurence, Alicia and Marta.
I would say that would be good if they hadn't captured Ezra, Sam and Matt. The best player on our team was Vaneza. She was a fast runner and she was an excellent gymnast. She cartwheeled, tumbled and backflipped her way around the water. Thanks to her we won!
We ended at around five thirty. The game lasted about an hour. Me and Vaneza weren't what you'd call close but I just had to talk to her.
"Vaneza!"
"Que pasa Katie?"
"Uh...excuse me...what?"
"Oh sorry. Whats up?"
"Well, you're in the acting group right?"
"Yeah? Why?"
"Well I signed up yesterday and they told me that my first meeting would be today. So where is it."
"Well, last week it was in the gym but today she said that we're changing the venue to somewhere where we're all comfortable to act in. Naturally it's the school theatre. Or at least that's what she said."
"Who's she?"
"Oh right, so sorry, um she is Ms. Woods. She used to be a theatre actress."
"Oh I See, so what time exactly is the meeting?"
"Around six o clock."
"Oh. Well, gotta go, I need to change out of these wet clothes."
"Same here, see ya!"
"Yeah you too."
As I was about to turn around to go home Freddy was right there.
"Hey, whats up."
"I dunno. I guess I'm gonna change out of these clothes."
"Wanna catch a movie later?"
"Love to. Can't though."
"Why?"
"Acting thing."
"Oh yeah."
"Well I guess I'll see ya tomorrow."
"Until what time is that anyway?"
"As long as it takes, a minimum of two hours."
"Woah."
"Yeah. Where's Zack?"
"He went home ahead. Methinks he was just avoiding you know who."
"Yeah, well see you."
He walked away. I ran home and changed and just barely made it there early.
"Ah, Katerina, you're here."
"Its Katie ma'am."
"Your mother registered you as Katerina Santa Maria Brown."
It was my real name. I wonder why my full name was more, um, exotic than my last name.
"Oh okay, but can you just call me Katie."
"No, I insist we call each and every one here by their real name. Can you sit by Vaneza Luisita."
"Uh...sure."
I sat beside her.
"Um, hey, I know we're not really close and all but can we make an effort to try to be friends. I don't really have any at HGH." Vaneza told me.
I nodded and she said thank you. Zack would be so proud. Hah.
"Well what do we do here?"
"First we do some excercises and then we sing and then we do you know some acting excercises like she gives you a piece of paper with an emotion and she gives you a phrase to say and say it with the emotion that has been written down. Then you exchange with someone else."
"Owkaaay."
So that went on for three hours. I had told my parents I'd be home late coz of the practices. They were happy and they told me to take all the time I wanted.
"Hey Katie!"
"Hey V, sup."
"I dunno, want to do something, its still quite early."
She's right, I go to sleep at around two am and that was when I was when I was sleepy, when I'm not I sleep two hours later. Wonder why I sleep so late anyway.
"Alright. What do you want to do?"
"well, I just wanted to go somewhere so we can talk. I need to get to know you before we can become friends."
"Fair enough. So how about that new café along the road."
"You mean Red Boxx"
"Yup. So lets go."
Once we were there we grabbed a table which was pretty low on the ground. It was completely fine though, we were gonna sit on beanbags anyway. I ordered a moccachino latte and Vaneza had a Hazelnut frap.
"So, tell me about your self." I started.
"Well, I'm not really an exchange student, we've decided to live here instead so my Mami and my Papi both started this Spanish resto. Mami cooks with abuela, tia Ana and my sister Nigella. Papi handles business with Tio Santo." "Where is going to be?"
"Well, for now its gonna be at home in the basement. If we make it big we're claiming an area in the city."
"Wow. So what's it called?"
"Its called Tasty Bites. Nigella and my older brothers Carlos and Andres suggested that we hire local bands to perform from time to time to bring in customers."
"Really! Our band might have more gigs now!"
"You know, I really want to meet the rest of your band."
"Oh, you should! I'll bring you to the celebration party tomorrow!"
"Gracias!"
"You're welcome."
"Well," she said as she eyed me. It seems that you are stuck in a love triangle."
"Huh????" althoughI think I know what's gonna happen next.
"Well, Freddy likes you. He's your boyfriend right?"
"Uh...yeah."
"Well Matt seems to like you too. And I take it you just think of him as a friend."
"Well...yeah and besides Matt? Like me? Are you serious?"
"Uh-huh."
"Yeah. Right. How bout you, anyone special in your life?'
"Special in what way?"
"Boy girl way."
"Oh. Well, still what way. Crush or boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend I guess."
"None."
"Crush?"
"Ummmm...well there's a guy in your band..."
I hoped my guess was right...
"Laurence?"
"No."
"Zack?"
"No."
What??? Who the hell else was in the band that could possibly be...no...
"Freddy?"
"No. He's yours."
sigh Well then who the hell could it be???
"That's all the guys in my band."
"What? I thought those guys you were walking with when you invited me to join you for a water fight were your band."
"No. They were just my friends. Well actually, Matt's friends."
"Oh."
"Wait is it even okay for you to tell me?"
"I suppose, I can trust you."
"Oh good. Well is it Matt?"
"No."
"Is it Blur?"
Is that even his real name?
"Nope."
"Sam?"
sigh "Yeah, you got me, but please don't tell him."
"Can I tell the guys?"
"Do you trust them, I don't trust them as much as I trust you. No offense."
"No offense taken."
"Well, maybe you could wait till I get to know them better."
"Alright."
We talked some more until we were the only ones there. The janitor told us he was gonna lock it up already. So we went our separate ways and I felt quite weird. I made a new friend just in one day...oh well. I took the long way home. I rarely did.
Once I got home I immersed myself in a warm bubble bath. Once I was done I changed into my pjs. It was barely twelve o clock. I didn't want to sleep yet and so I grabbed my journal and went to the kitchen. I grabbed myself some cookies and munched slowly while I wrote down what was happening in my life.
Once I had finished it was one thirty and I still didn't want to sleep. I wanted to practice my bass but my parents would have a fit!
Dejectedly I hugged my pillow and snuggled under the blanket and fell asleep...
-TBC-
A/N: oookaaay, I said in the prev. chappie that I'd write that...well just read the prev. chappie. I'm too lazy to do it. Heeheeheehee...anyweiz...um, since this chapter is getting long I'll just save it for the next chapter. Please don't forget to review...hahahaha! Yngatz!

How much he wanted to hold her and tell her he loved her. Matt couldn't believe that he had ever felt so much just for a girl. Before he realized it he had sat down on the front porch and cried.

We talked some more until we were the only ones there. The janitor told us he was gonna lock it up already. So we went our separate ways and I felt quite weird. I made a new friend just in one day...oh well. I took the long way home. I rarely did.
Once I got home I immersed myself in a warm bubble bath. Once I was done I changed into my pjs. It was barely twelve o clock. I didn't want to sleep yet and so I grabbed my journal and went to the kitchen. I grabbed myself some cookies and munched slowly while I wrote down what was happening in my life.
Once I had finished it was one thirty and I still didn't want to sleep. I wanted to practice my bass but my parents would have a fit!
Dejectedly I hugged my pillow and snuggled under the blanket and fell asleep...
