Thanx again 4 the reviews! I really apreciate it! (I don't own the rugrats or any songs I put in this story). Well, the two chapters after this are Phil and Kimi. Then the Point of views will begin again at Tommy. Enjoy!

Chapter three- going crazy (Chuckie's POV)

Has everybody gone crazy?

Is anybody gonna save me?

Can anybody tell me what's going on?

Tell me, what's going on?

If you open you're eyes, you'll see that something is wrong.

Crazy, Simple Plan

"Chuckie, you're not going to believe me when I tell you this. Kimi cuts."

"Cuts what? Class?" I inquire

"No, seriously cuts herself. Like razors and bleeding." Lil says

Oh. My. God.

I just sit there, blankly thinking of Kimi's excuses for the cuts on her arms and legs. Why didn't she tell me? What else was she hiding?

"Chuckie Finster? The principal will see you now."

I hope to never hear those words again.

"Sit down, Finster. You're a wreck. You'd better have you're inhaler with you because I'm going to say some pretty tough things. I'm guessing that Lillian Deville just told you about your sister cutting, by the looks of it. By the end of the day, I wouldn't doubt the whole school would know. I always wonder where the causes of fights like this start. Right now, both of them are guilty. What do you have to say?"

"Well, Phil means so much to Kimi, and he has been changing a lot over these two past months. I know that he became a jock since he made the basketball team, but he's been shunning Kimi out of his life. She told me that the other day when she said 'hi' to him he didn't even say anything. She was positive he heard her too. He's definitely changing for the worst." I sing.

Pangborn just sits there.

"How long has your sister liked this boy?" He asks.

"Practically forever; since she was eight." I reply hesitantly.

"Oh, I see. How much of a friend was he to her before he became basketball superstar?"

"They were closer than me and Tommy, and trust me, that is really close."
"Hmm." Pangborn grunts and scribbles something on his clipboard.

"Sir?" I ask; Pangborn looks up, "What are you writing?"

"Well, I'm adding this to the record of everything else your friends said. It seems that Kimi could be suffering denial that Phil isn't her friend anymore. That could be hard on anyone, especially girls Kimi's age. Have you noticed any strange habits of Kimi, besides that she was cutting?" He explains

"Well, since she became a straightener, she has been mentioning cheerleading for the basketball season. That's strange, because pretty much all of her life has been tomboyish. She used to hate being dressed up and wearing pink. Now on a daily basis she's been using makeup and becoming frilly. It's strange being her brother now." I admit.

"Hmm, that is different. I think I speak for everyone in your grade when I say life is tough."

"Is that a good thing, sir?"

"Well, challenges in life prepare you for the life you will have when you get out of school."

"Oh. So, what am I supposed to do now? I mean, I live in a house with a girl who used to be my best tomboy friend/sister. Now everything is about fashion and makeup."

"Your parents accept that?"

"Well, they just think it is better for her, because she is the youngest in the family and she should make more friends than the ones she has now. I defiantly do not agree."

Now that I think about it, I remember about a lot of times we kept thinking she was different, as in strange. It could've been because she lived in Paris, or because she was always treated like she was younger than all of us (She was babied longer than the rest of us.) Mom always thought that since she was youngest, she should be treated that way.

"After I get everything settled between your sister and Phil Deville, I have to call your parents. Would you like me to relay any message to them?"

"Well, if the verdict depends on me, tell them to be careful."

"Well, Finster, I would like you to stay here, because your sister shall be in soon. I would like to talk to you both when I finish talking to you privately

I'll send out a message to your teachers that you are here."

"Thank you, sir." I say in a small voice.

I can just imagine what my parents will say.

'What were you thinking?' And 'We'll discuss this later' all leading up to the big blowout at home, followed by tears and mom and dad grounding her.

Why do these things only happen to me?

The only thing I can't grasp is why Kimi would cut herself.

And why she didn't tell me.

I head out the door and sit on the bench.

"Whoa. I would've never thought to see you here." A cold voice says next to me.

I look over.

"Oh come on Z. I would never do anything bad. Why are you here?"

"Ah, getting in trouble for chewing gum and throwing paper airplane notes at the teacher. Nothing big." Z says, still chewing on the gum, "You?"

"Well, I'm not here for me. I'm here because of Kimi."

"What did 'good girl' do?"

"Well, right now she isn't such a good girl. But if you must know, she got into a fight with Phil."

"Whoa. Phil Deville? That's extreme. Why?"

"Well, that's why Lil, Tommy, and I are and were here."

"Man. Just the other day she was studying at my house, telling me about everything that was wrong in her life."

"So she told you what she does to herself?"

"No."
"Oh."

For another minute, we just sit there.

"Well, what does she do to herself?" Z curiously asks.

I clear my throat. "Umm, she, uh, well, she cuts herself."

"Harsh."

"Totally." (I almost crack up at the thought of sounding like Z.)

"Something must have really ticked her off. Because of Phil, you know."

"I'm trying to think of what."

"Well…she did mention something about Phil."

"She did?"

"When she was crying."

"Well, what was it?"

"She said Phil would never like her after what happened last year." Z breathes.

I don't say anything because I remember. Last year, the year Kimi hated the most, the year everything was hell for her.

It all started when she got into a fight with Lil while she was playing matchmaker. They started calling each other foul things and they ended up not speaking for a long time: three months before school to be exact. One day Lil couldn't take it anymore and she told Kimi's huge secret to her best friend Phil, Lil's brother. I overheard them talking. I was over the Deville's without Kimi; Tommy was there too, it was a month after Kimi and Tommy broke up.

"Hey, Phil. I want to tell you something about Kimi. She likes you." Lil said, then she turned, and just marched straight out of the room the same way she entered. I told her as soon as I got home.

For the next two weeks Phil didn't talk to Kimi.

Everyday for those two weeks, she came home and cried. Sometimes a she cried a little, sometimes a lot. For those two weeks, I was her only friend: Tommy didn't want to get in the middle of things, Lil hated Kimi, and Phil was Phil.

Of course, it got better, but it was hard for Kimi and Phil to be friends because of Lil. She used to probe her way into things; But Kimi did harsh stuff to her, too.

Finally, the summer before our seventh grade year, Lil and Kimi made up. Lil just stood in the doorway and when Kimi answered the door, they just started laughing and talking like the old times. It's really strange how things jump from one thing to the next.

"Well, sixth grade was the hardest, I think for everyone." I agree.

"Son, you're free to go. Do you need a pass?" The secretary asks.

Z nods, and then says to me.

"See you. Tell 'good girl' I said hi."

"Don't worry, I'll be telling her everyone says hi." I laugh, which is true, since she probably will get suspended for 3 days.

Whoa. Three days.

Three days of Kimi sitting home in bed, eating ice cream, and crying.

Three miserable days.

Well...What do you think? Next Chapter tells all the details of the fight...because it's in Phil's POV! So, keep reviewing! And remember,
