Chapter 5
-After School, Cody's House-
Squib thought to himself what he just did about an hour. You idiot, you just blew your chance of studying lines. He started hitting himself inside. He approached Cody's door and he rang the door bell and knocked. He was getting very impatient. When Cody finally opened the door, she stood there for a few seconds, instead of slamming the door closed in his face; she decided to slowly close the door. Squib was shocked of what just happened. He had never seen Cody like this before. He always thought of her as the peaceful one. "C'mon Cody open the DOOR, please" saying the last part quieter. She came and opened the door; she quickly stepped out to face him while closing the door. (Lots of door action here you know, bing bang boom!)
"What do you want?" said Cody. She was very annoyed.
"I was hoping if we could run lines together."
"Just
so nobody knows, right?"
"Right! I want to surprise everyone
with my acting skills you know"
"Like we can be secret friends!" She said sarcastically.
"Right! Exactly, exactly! Its like you're reading my mind!"
"Well, maybe you should read mine," This time, she was serious.
"Cody, you know I can't…" he got interrupted.
"You know Furlong, I thought I saw something in you, but I was wrong, very wrong." With that she went back in and closed the door. Squib got so furious he shouted so loud that even people from China could here it. "DAMN IT!" After that Dr. Myers came out and gave him a very bad look!
The past few days after that incident, Squib has been working extra hard on his lines. So hard he stayed up until 5 in the morning memorizing them. One day he got so tired of memorizing he decided to flip through the year book, since the play was coming up and he had no one to bring. No one special to show his "talent" of acting. He came across Cody's yearbook picture. He wanted to rip the page out and just eat her head. Ha, wrong! He stayed there staring at it. She was pretty, but she was the school nerd. He read about her:
Name: Cody Myers
(Red Cross, Stars and Planets, Drama club)
Ambition: To witness a miracle.
He closed the book, and continued to memorize.
-Weekend-
The weekend is here once again, you know what this means! This means Squib gets to tutor again! crowd applause, he got up from the bus and headed into the school. As he walked in he remembered what happened last time, he got told off by some kid. He had the same kid again this week. "So do you know what this type of triangle is?" The kid just stood there like a log. Not even paying attention. Squib gave out a sigh of grief. Squib and the kid suddenly started heading outside to the basketball court.
"It's you me and a basket. Now if we take one step closer, what type of triangle will this be?"
The kid was thinking, thinking hard! "A similar triangle?"
"Correct!" Squib was so happy for himself, this time he didn't get 'bull shit' or 'f u' "Now make me an isosceles" The kid did what he was told, step one step to the left. Squib gave him a smile, he felt proud, not only him the kid too. "Enough of this, let's play!" With that, they started playing a game of basketball. What he didn't know was that Cody Myers was watching from inside the School.
-At rehearsal-
All of them were at rehearsal. Ms. Wiley was very impressed with Squib and how good he did with his lines. Squib sat there watching all the girls get help from the drama teacher. When it was Cody's turn, he kind of checked her out a bit. He snapped out of it and tried as quickly as possible to make his mind go back to play mode.
-After lunch break in the hall way-
As Cody exited from the cafeteria, she had to go to her locker to get her books for her next class. As she was walking in the hall way she saw Squib. Alone. They just passed each other not even saying hi. When they finally passed Cody couldn't help but look over her shoulders to look at Squib. He just continued walking.
-In the hospital. Weird eh?-
Squib finally decides to visit Clay Gephardt. Remember the guy the gang forced to jump off the wind mill? Yeah him, he was seriously injured and was kept in a hospital ever since. When he walked in the room he saw that his leg was up on those hanging leg things. He saw that he was watching those cheesy soap operas.
"Hey, I came here to say I'm sorry."
"Alright…you know I thought I wanted to be your friend, but then I made the stupidest decision ever."
"I've changed now."
"Did it hurt when you did it?"
"Like hell!"
"Good."
"I'll guess I'll see you at school?"
"Yes!"
After that, Squib left the hospital. Maybe he did change, but he didn't know why.
