Girls Are Such A Drag

Chapter 3: Meeting outside the Tree House
"Sport? Sport!" called an adult voice with a thick Australian accent.
"Ugh..." Wally slowly opened his eyes. "Where am I?"
"'Ello sport!" said the voice. It was his dad, towering over him. "You've been out for the entire afternoon, son!"
"I have?" Wally looked over at the clock. It was after 6:00 pm.
"'Appy birthday son!" Mr. Beatles said, shoving a brightly colored present into Wally's face.
"Ah, thanks dad." Wally said. He sat up on his bed and opened the gift. It was a new Game Boy Advanced SP with several games.
"Wow! Thanks dad!" Wally said.
"You're welcome, sport! Now come downstairs for pizza." Wally's dad left his room. Wally stretched and looked around his room. His kung fu movie posters were still on the walls. So what seemed so empty to him? He got up and looked around some more. There was an orange Rainbow monkey tipped over on its side on the floor next to wilting daisies and a red rose.
"Hmm. That's odd." He said to himself. He headed downstairs expecting just his dad to be waiting for him at the dinner table.
"Happy Birthday Wally!" yelled Abby, Nigel, Hoagie, and Kuki.
"Guys! What are you doin' 'ere?"
"It's your birthday!" Kuki said, running up to him. "Come on! Come on! Sit next to me!" She smiled, her tilted eyes glowing.
"Ah... Okay." Wally said, blushing. He sat down at the table.
"This feels so weird." Wally said sitting down.
"I know. I've been at camp for most of the summer." Hoagie said, eagerly awaiting to stock his plate up on pizza.
"I was at my grandmothers house." Abby said. "You know, with the knitting and the cookies..."
"I stayed home!" Kuki sang out.
"Same here. Lizzie stopped by yesterday saying something about the government building behind my house." Nigel reported. "I had no idea what she was talking about, so she ran off crying. Good thing too." He added looking over at Abby. Abby adjusted her red hat over her eyes.
"Can we eat now? I'm starving. I think mom sent me to fat camp." Hoagie said.
"You mean you don't remember camp?" Wally asked.
"Nope. That's what makes me think it was fat camp. I mean, at fat camp they starve you! And that messes with your head. Besides, look at me now!" Hoagie said, extending his arms. Everyone laughed.
"All right. We can eat now." Wally announced.
"Hooray!" Kuki said. "Dibs on the cheese!" Kuki reached out to grab one of the largest slices. So did Wally. Their hands touched and they paused. Meanwhile, everyone else grabbed his or her own slices.
"Uh.. You can have it Kuki." Wally offered.
"No no." Kuki smiled. "Its your birthday." Kuki reached for the next largest slice. They smiled and stared deep into each other's eyes. It wasn't until Hoagie choked on his pizza several seconds later that they crashed back to earth. Nigel was staring at Wally and Kuki. Abby was patting Hoagie's back.
"Are you okay Hoagie?" Kuki asked. "You want me to get you another soda?"
"No. cough cough I'm fine." Hoagie said. Kuki smiled and grabbed a slice of pepperoni.
"Wally, can I see you in the kitchen?" Abby asked.
"Uh, sure." Wally said, standing up and following her into the kitchen.
"What's up?" He asked.
"What's up?" Abby said. "What's up wit choo?"
"What do you mean?" Wally said.
"What's up with you and Kuki? With the pizza, and the hands, and the staring..."
"We're friends. You know that." Wally shrugged and grabbed a soda from the counter.
"Abby's beginning to think Wally has discovered girls." Abby said, crossing her arms and smirking.
"What?" Wally cried out in disbelief. "Me? Notice... GURLS?"
"Hey, you're 13 now." Abby pointed out. Wally scowled.
"I'm not interested in any cruddy girls." Wally said flatly, shoving his hands into his back pockets and shuffling his feet.
"Okay. Whatever you say." Abby said and walked out of the kitchen.
"Urgh. Girls are such a drag." Wally said, popping open his soda and chugging it down.
Later, everyone was crashed out on the couch watching a movie. Nigel sat next to Abby and Hoagie was hogging the armchair. Wally was sitting in the far corner of the couch, away from Abby. He was playing his Game Boy, barely paying attention to the movie.
"Wally!" Kuki shouted. She ran into the room and leaned over the back of the couch and wrapped her arms around the base of his neck. Wally went red.
"Y—yes?" He asked.
"Do you want buttered popcorn?" She asked, leaning farther over the couch, almost whispering in his ear.
"S---sure." He stuttered.
"Oakee!" Kuki raced off to the kitchen. Abby looked over at Wally. Wally looked away and returned to his game. His character's pixilated body lay flat on the ground surrounded by pixilated monsters.
"Ah crud." He said. He flipped off the game and slouched on the couch. Kuki came humming into the TV room with a big bowl of popcorn. She sat down right next to Wally.
"Popcorn?" She offered. Wally nodded and took a handful. They munched on it for a while. Kuki held the bowl in her lap. Wally sat stiff in his seat. Maybe Abby was right. Was he discovering girls? But girls to him were annoying and were into gushy mushy things and he was into action things and fights. So what was it that he was feeling towards Kuki? She was all the things he couldn't stand. Like Rainbow Monkeys. He glanced over at her. She was staring intently back at him. They both looked away and blushed.
'Bloody tube socks.' Wally thought to himself. 'I've discovered girls.'
