Chapter 2
During lunch Kathy sat reading a magazine called 'Phib'. It was a magazine about aliens, paranormal, and cryptozoology.
"Kathy are you reading that trash again?" Jean said
"It might be trash to you, but to me it's my bible." Kathy said in a stubborn voice. Jean just rolled her eyes.
"Mmmm. Are zose cheese fries and a hamburger?" Kurt said salivating.
"Yup." Kathy said
"Are zay hot and just made?"
"Yup."
"Straight from za Dog and Suds?"
"Yup."
"And you vould be a really good friend if you me gave a little."
"Yup."
"So can a have a little?" Kurt said hoping his plan would work
"Nope." Kathy said smiling
"Oh come on." Kurt said whining.
"Where we going?" Kathy used one of her witty remarks
"Za lunch zay serve hear is toxic. Look, za pudding doesn't even move, and za jello dribbles, not jiggles. Please, Kathy, Bitte (please) " Kurt said with a helpless look on his face.
"I really have to get rid of my conscience. Here have some fries and half of my burger." Kathy said as she looked at her magazine.
"Danke!" Kurt took the bag and opened it up and tore the burger in two. Just as Kurt was about to take a bite, his worst nightmare just came walking by. "Oh nien!" Kurt yelped and sank down so he could look invisible.
"What's your problem?" Kathy asked
"D-Dick V-Valker." Kurt shuddered
"Dick Walker ? Whose he. Is he the guy with the freaky black hair and body piercings all over his body?"
"Ja, and just came back from Juvie hall. And he is out to kill me."
"Why?"
"Because it is my fault he vent zere."
"Ouch."
"Ja, he once bit za head off a live chicken."
"So, Ozzy Osborne bit the head off a live bat, and people like him, well I do at least."
"Wagner!" Dick yelled
" Freut mich, froyt mîH, Dick." (Pleased To Meet You.) Kurt swallowed hard
"I 'm here for revenge, not a lesson in German." Dick grabbed Kurt by his shirt collar.
"Leave him alone…Dick." Kathy said standing up
"Got a girl fighting your battles, eh Wagner. My what a body, what a face, what a sexy appearance." He put down Kurt and Kathy Grabbed Dick's neck. "What a reach! Ha ha." Dick said nervously.
"Leave Kurt alone or I'll decapitate you." Kathy threatened
"Hey yeah. Whatever you say girlie." Kathy let go of him and Dick ran back to the hole he crawled from.
"Danke Kathy."
"No prob. I think I'll have fun with this Dick boy." Kathy said smiling
"Kathy, do not to do that again, ever, ever, ever, never again." Jean said
"Kurt's my friend I'm not letting that creep hurt him, besides you could have done something too."
Scott came by. "Dick's back."
"Ja I know. Zank god zat Kathy has got a pretty good arm." Kurt said rubbing the back of his head
"Nobody mess's with blue boy on my watch." At that Kurt blushed
"Kathy are you reading that 'Phib' magazine again?" Scott said
"I don't get it. You people are all against at what I like. Hey where's Toby?"
"Lunch detention. He vas mimicking za geometry class teacher." Kurt said "And I'm not against vat you like. Even zoe it is pretty veird."
"See. You think it's weird. I don't get it." Kathy said while she ate what was left of her burger from Kurt's raid. "There are really interesting things in this magazine. Listen: Last night in Arizona a flash of light appeared and monsters came out of this portal thing. Locals say it killed livestock and a dog, and three people. One local shot it but it ran away. This is probably the best description of a wormhole related event.
"A wormhole is a portal through the universe that can take point blank seconds to get at one place. It also says that odd portal things happened all over the world, but only in Arizona and Australia was where a monster, or alien as for they are from space and not imagination, came out. The Arizona problem was taken care of, but Australia is infested." Kathy finished
"Cool, that might actually be believable." Scott said
"Really?" Kathy said hopefully
"Yeah, to a person who is stoned!" Scott said laughing
"Yeah, well I believe it, and I created my own theory. It is called the Sierra Rip theory. It is a theory that there are certain wormholes that allow life forms to go through and some that don't. And-" Before Kathy could finish the bell rang and Scott and Jean left.
Kurt patted Kathy on the shoulder. "I believe you."
"Sure, you just saying that because I feel bad and stupid now." Kathy said with her head down
"Nien, I actually believe you." Kathy looked up and smiled.
"Thanks Kurt." Kathy sighed
During study hall Tobius was dissecting a calculator.
"C'mon baby let go of your chip." Tobius cooed
"Tobius, are ya talkin to that calculator?" Rouge asked
"I'm trying to get the stupid chip out." Tobius said
"Aw don't know why I even asked." Rouge went back to reading her Dracula novel.
"I'm telling you Ian I can't, today I planned on staying home to relax." Kathy was trying to get Ian off her back so she could have the night alone after school. Ian was about to stroke her hair when she pulled back, in fear that he would feel her feathers that she had on her head instead of hair.
"Please. I thought you liked me?"
"I do, but I want a night to myself." Kathy got up and left. She sat down by Tobius Rouge and Kurt.
"I told you he vas just anozer pretty boy." Kurt said
"Oh shut up blue boy." Kathy said and started to draw.
"Kurt's right Kathy. He is just anoder pretty boy just wantin to use a girl to prove that even somebody like 'im could get a nice lookin girl without buying his way to her heart." Rouge said
"You people are all against me." Kathy rolled her mint green eyes.
"We're not against you Kath, just what you do." Tobius said smiling
"Tobius if I were you I'd keep my mouth shut, unless your curious on how that calculator tastes."
"Yes sir, I mean madam, I mean master, err…"
"Tobius!" Kathy said
"Miss. Hunter, would you like a trip to the principal's office?" The teacher asked
"No Mrs. Smith." Kathy went back to drawing.
"I'm just saying." Tobius leaned over
"Shut up you annoying piece of shit." Kathy whispered.
"Kathy." Kurt said
"What blue boy?"
"Do you know French vell?"
"Negetory."
"Damn it."
"I know Tobius can speak French." Kathy said
"Nien, said that he couldn't." Kurt said slyly and looked at him
"All right I confess, I speak French. Okay what do you need help with?"
Kathy just shook her head and kept drawing. She was concentrating on Kurt. She sucked at drawing portraits but thought she might give a wing at it. She was a little embarrassed by it. Every time Kurt would lean over she would flip the page and start another picture of a failed attempt at a dragon and griffon fight scene. After she put all the details in, it started to look real good, then from what it started out as. Ahh her angst.
