Chapter thirty-one
Tino looked back and saw Blossom walking towards him, "Blossom, I already told you. Now LEAVE ME ALONE!" He said to her all annoyed.
But to his surprise, behind Blossom came Buttercup and Clayton. His best friend Clayton. " Clayton! Um…what are you doing here?" He stammered.
" Tino I thought you said you were going to the park to help Buttercup and Blossom get Bubbles back? Why are you here…um…'flirting?' with some girl that none of us really know. I thought you always introduce all of your friends to me?" Clayton asked.
"I do." Tino said as he stood up. "This is Jenny," He looked at her, "And this is my best friend Clayton."
Jenny stepped forward to hug Clayton. But Buttercup stopped her. "Uh, just exchange greetings using words. No need to get any body movement involved."
Blossom laughed at that. "Oh Buttercup!"
Clayton laughed too. "Yeah, that's true. But Tino, aren't you going to help them with their plan?"
"No. Clayton don't you get it? I like Jenny. I DON'T CARE about Bubbles! I DON'T WANT her to come back." Tino yelled THAT loudly enough for the whole town to hear.
Clayton took a step backwards, "W.O.H." He almost fell backwards, but Buttercup caught him in time. "Oh Clayton, are you okay?" She asked warily. Clayton looked up at her, his face all pale, "Yeah…it's just…that…I just saw a different side of Tino I had never seen before." He said as he got up and ran towards his house.
"CLAYTON!" Buttercup yelled as she chased after him.
"BUTTERCUP! COME BACK!" And Blossom started to run after Buttercup.
"You guys are really paranoid." Tino said as he turned around to Jenny, and to his surprise, Jenny had tears in her eyes. "Jenny? What's wrong?" He asked. Jenny looked at him with her blue, but watery eyes, "Clayton's right, this side of you I never saw." As she started to run away as well.
A/N I know I know…so much 'running away' in this eh? Hehe…
