Chapter 3: Idiot

Zero slowly approached his friends, who were standing and talking.

"Hey Zero, ya feelin' better?" Twitch asked cautiously.

He nodded slowly.

The bell sounded then for them to get to class.

Now it was B lunch, and Magnet, Armpit, Zigzag and Squid were eating lunch together. They were talking about the dance too.

"Man, there's this really hot girl in my science class. She is SO fine!" Armpit exclaimed.

The guys laughed.

"Um, excuse me?" They heard a voice. They turned around and saw a hideous looking girl. She had messy red hair that was put up in pig tails, big glasses and braces; she had a lot of acne and was wearing was looked like a school uniform. She had on a plaid skirt and a white button up shirt and ugly black sneakers.

"Um, yeah?" Squid asked.

"Um, you're Alan right?" She smiled.

"Yes... why?"

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

His eyes widened and he looked at his friends. They were just as shocked.

"Um... ya know, you're not really my... my type..." He said, looking her up and down.

"Why not?" She asked.

"Well... you just... aren't," He answered, trying to be polite.

"Oh... okay... well, that's one more rejection from me... they were right... I'll never get a date..." She ran off.

"Whoa..." Squid turned back to his friends. "That was weird."

"Man, she's hecka ugly!" Armpit exclaimed laughing.

"Yeah... man, what a nerd!" Zigzag said.

"Hey guys," Magnet got their attention. "I already have a date for Friday." He grinned.

"Really? What's her name?" Squid asked.

"Kristi. Kristi Hart. She is so hot." Magnet smiled even wider.

"What's she look like?" Armpit asked.

"She's got raven black hair and olive green eyes. She's just amazing."

"Sounds like a hottie,"

"Man Armpit, do you even shut up about girls?" Magnet snapped at him.

"When it comes to girls... no," Armpit smiled evilly.

They rolled their eyes.

Zero invited the guys back to his house after school that day. They were all gathered in his room, talking about the dance. (AN: Surprise, surprise)

"Hey guys. I gotta ask ya somethin." Zero told them.

"What is it?" They asked him.

"Um... well, this girl asked me to go to the dance with her. Her name's Jessie. But I feel like I'm using her."

"Why?" Armpit asked, an eyebrow raised.

"'Cause I like this girl named Marissa Schwartz. I asked her to the dance, but she said no. The only reason I said yes to Jessie was to make Marissa jealous." Zero looked at the ground.

"Ooooooooooooh," The guys said in unison.

"What should I do?" Zero asked desperately.

"Give her a chance. Ya never know. She could be the one for you." Squid told him.

"Ya, like you and that nerdy girl," Zigzag laughed.

"Shut up man," Squid shoved him.

"You should've given HER a chance," Magnet smirked.

"Stop it guys. She was ugly."

"So? How do you know she's not 'the one'?" Armpit snickered.

"SHUT THE HELL UP! God, you guys will never stop, will ya?" Squid growled.

"Sorry," They murmured.

"Hey Zero, who was the girl you said... uh, rejected you?" Twitch chose his words cautiously.

"Marissa Schwartz,"

"Okay... gotta remember that name..." Twitch muttered,

"Wait, Marissa Schwartz? She's a freshman right?" Zigzag asked suddenly.

"Yeah... why?" Zero looked suspicious.

"Oh... no reason," Zigzag paled and looked away. "Um... I gotta go. I gotta help my sister with something. Um... bye." Zigzag hurried out of the room.

The boys looked at each other and shrugged.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zigzag was walking home slowly. He couldn't believe what an idiot he was. Zero likes Marissa Schwartz. He was dating a girl just so he could get her jealous. Made sense. But not now. He was such an idiot.

He couldn't believe he'd said yes to her.
