Chapter 2: Feelings
It's halftime in the game & the Lions are up by 7. Kuki turns to the other cheerleaders. "Guys, I'm gonna get something to eat. I'm starving!"
The girls nod. "OK."
Kuki waves& runs off. But before she gets to the food line, she hears giggling. Being the curious girl she is, she decides to investigate.
She walks behind the bleachers & see two figures making out. She looks closer to see the boy has blonde hair & the girl has multi-colored hair.
Kuki recognizes the boy as Wally Beatles, the self-proclaimed "bad boy" of the school. She doesn't recognize the girl, though.
Realizing she would be caught if she doesn't leave soon, she turns to leave. She turns right into someone, knocking her back.
She looks up to see one of the boys from before. He glares at her. "Move it, girly."
One boy, obviously "the boss" walks over. "I don't know. She's pretty cute."
Kuki cringes at this. She looks around for someone she knows, but she sees no one. She looks back up at the boy, & prays to God someone does something to save her.
"Hey, Dirk! Leave her alone." a masculine voice calls out.
Everyone, including Kuki, turns to see Wally walking up to them.
"Why? Is she your girlfriend?" the boy teased.
Wally grimaced & looked at Kuki with a grimace. "Yeah, like I'd date ditzy cheerleaders who have nothing else to do than to be stupid."
Kuki's mouth dropped open & was about to say something when she realized that she'd yell at him later, once she was out of "danger."
"Then why you sticking up for her?"
"Because she's pathetic & shouldn't even be here."
Kuki was becoming more & more angry with the verbal abuse she was getting, but told herself to keep her mouth shut.
The boy laughed. "You're right about that. She is pathetic."
Kuki was about to explode when she heard her name. "Kuki!" her best friend Tiffany called out.
Kuki thanked God for the distraction. She gets up, brushes herself off & walks off. But she decides to turn around . "If I'm really at that pathetic, then why do you want me?"
This shut the boy up, causing Wally to snicker a little. Kuki turns to him & walks right up to him. She smiles, "Thank you for helping me," But then it changes to a frown, "But I don't like the cheerleader cracks. Watch your back, shrimp." She turns & walks back to her friends.
Wally watches her go, mouth hanging. Most people that called him shrimp were beaten to a pulp, but he couldn't bring himself to hit her. He wasn't sure why, he just felt something familiar about her.
He sighed & turned back to Caitlyn. She was frowning. "So, what is she to you?" she asks bluntly.
Wally blinks once, then twice. "What do you mean?"
"You just stood up for her. You don't stand up for anybody."
Wally wasn't sure how to explain it. "I don't know, she just seemed…familiar."
Caitlyn glared & walked over to him. "Well, you better get unfamiliar with her…FAST!" she slaps him in the face & walks off.
Wally rubs his cheek, confused. He knew he should go after her, but he couldn't bring himself to do that, either.
He heard snickering. He turned & glared at the laughing boys. "Looks like you got dumped twice!" one laughed.
Wally became angry & charged at them. A few minutes later, Wally came out of the bleachers with a black eye & dried blood under his nose.
He watched the boys run off. "Cowards!" he yelled after them. He turned & walked out of the stadium.
Abby watched him go. She was in the parking lot with Tony. Tony comes up behind her & puts his arms around her. "Whatcha lookin' at?"
Abby pointed at Wally. "The bad boy of the school is leaving with his tail between his legs." she laughs.
Tony smiles, "Serves him right. Going around, trying to be all bad."
Abby wanted to laugh harder at him, but something in her gut told her to stop. She frowned, not understanding it.
Tony noticed Abby frowning. "What's up, babe?"
Abby didn't hear him at first, so Tony called again. "Earth to Abigail. Come back to earth."
Abby blinks then turns to him. "Sorry. I'm here. Ready to go?"
"Yeah." Tony lets go of her, but grabs her hand. They walk out of the parking lot.
Lizzie watches them go, feeling jealous of the love between them. She turned to see Nigel gone. She groaned. "Where'd he go now?"
She gets up & looks over the top of the bleachers. She sees Nigel writing something in the comfort of a dirt hill below her.
Lizzie wanted to call, but decided it would worry him more if she just left. She walked right past him, but he didn't notice. This made Lizzie madder.
"I'll show him! There are tons of others guys I can have!" she huffs & puffs, walking down the sidewalk.
Suddenly, an model airplane zooms past her head. She screams & dives for safety.
"Oh my God, are you OK?" a voice called out, coming closer.
"Of course I'm not, dimwit! I just got dodged an airplane!" Lizzie exclaimed. She got up to see Hoagie P. Gilligan. Usually, she would ignore him, but Nigel's unloving attitude was still fresh in her mind. She watched Hoagie pick up his airplane & a slow, evil grin appeared on her face.
"Hoagie, sweetheart." Lizzie started in a sickening tone.
Hoagie turned to see Lizzie really close to him. He backed up a few steps & tripped. Lizzie giggled at his clumsiness. She helped him up, holding his hand a little too long.
When they let go, Hoagie wondered what she was doing. 'Isn't she going out with Nigel Uno?" he thought. He looked around.
"If you're looking for Nigel, he isn't here." Lizzie told him.
Hoagie looked at Lizzie. "Where is he? You two are usually inseparable."
Lizzie frowned. "Well, he wants to spend some time away. And so do I." she batted her eyelashes, inching closer.
Hoagie backed up some more. He watched her face & thought 'Is she for real? Someone wants to hang with me?"
Lizzie smiled. "Why don't you take me for a milkshake?" she asked, sweetly.
Hoagie's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"
Lizzie giggled again. "Duh. Now do you want to or not?"
"Sure." he reached for her arm, but she jerked it away quickly. Seeing his face, she lied. "I'm afraid of germs."
Hoagie nodded. "OK."
Lizzie smiled again & started walking. Hoagie followed, still in awe.
I know, poor Hoagie! Don't worry, Lizzie will get a little nicer. I'll try to update as fast as I can. In the mean time, please RR!
