Chapter 3 Chuckie's Hidden Courage:
BRRRRR! The bell rang signally the end of class and the start of lunch. Dil was the first along with Mandy to hit the cafeteria on the Scooboard. "Please let there be enough Chocolate cake with white ice cream and sprinkles on top" Dil said anxiously as he folded the scooboard away.
"Chill dil I bet ya they'll still have some coz we had to sneak out of class early to be here" Mandy said with smiley grin on her face.
The only thing that was good about the first day of school was that the food was great and today they always served Chocolate cake with white ice cream and sprinkles on top but they only made a limited amount of those. They were Dil's and Mandy's favorite food in the school cafeteria.
"hmm looks like we weren't the only ones to think about sneaking out" Mandy said as she saw students already at the cafeteria getting the special lunch "Quick lets hurry" Dil said as he grabbed Mandy's arm and headed straight for the food.
When they got the food lineup there was only one more Chocolate cake with white ice cream and sprinkles on top "whoa harsh theres only one more cake left" Dil said in a sad way
"take it or leave it kid" the lunch lady answered
As dil took the cake Mandy followed right behind him and took the usual sloppy joes on school days. They both sat down at their usual table waiting for the others to arrive. "Hey man you can have half of the cake and I'll have half of your sloppy joe" Dil said smiling "You sure Dil I mean that chocolate cake is kinda your favourate, don't you wanna enjoy it besides u worked hard to get it" Mandy replied beaming a look of compassion
"Nah man it just doesn't taste great unless you have someone else to share it with and you worked just as hard as me to sneak out of the class" answered Dil
"Thanks D"
Dil and Mandy clenched their fists together and punched each other's fist as a symbol of friendship and celebrating instead of the usual high five's they give to everyone else. "Hey im gonna get us some drinks be right back, oh and thanks again Dil" Mandy said in a sweet beautiful voice that Dil has never heard her say, with that as she began to walk she kissed Dil in the cheek before leaving and smiled at him as she left.
While Mandy was gone, Dil blushed a little and thought to himself about what just happened. He didn't take much notice and just decided to shrug it off cause he didn't see the big deal in it even though it was the first time Mandy kissed him anywhere.
While Dil was eating Tommy and Chuckie came to the table talking about how boring their morning classes were "Hey T" Dil greeted his older brother "Sup D" Tommy and Chuckie said in unison.
"Guess what guys I learned something new today" Dil said
"Really Dil did you learn how to eat normally like normal people now" but just as he said he looked at Dil's plate of food to see it covered with bits of sloppy Joe and cake it was messy even a dog eating his food could've done a better job. "Okay guess not" with a not so surprising look on Tommy's face.
"Get this guys before you came to the table Mandy kissed me so I have discovered that best friends actually kiss each other which brings me to my curiosity, what have you two been doing all those times when I wasn't around and the two of you were alone" Dil's expression as if he was trying to interrogate Tommy and Chuckie
"Oh My God!" Chuckies mouth was wide open as if someone told him that a girl was interested in him
"Dil of all the weird things that go inside that head of yours this has got to be the worst!" Tommy said in a high voice his mouth like Chuckie was dropped
"what's the matter guys it's okay if you kiss each other I mean it took me and Mandy nearly a year to get to this stage and you guy's have been friends since like the day you were born" Dil retorted
"I'm not gay Dil !" Chuckie shouted as the whole cafeteria turned to look at Chuckie. "uh-oh what did I just say" said chuckie now with a scaredy look in his eyes. "Okay people get back to your lives nothing to see here!" Tommy yelled as everyone in the cafeteria went back to their normal routines.
"pheww" chuckie sighed in relief "look what you made say Dil" now Chuckie was angry.
"I didn't make you say that Chuck , theres nothing wrong with two best buds sharing something……"
"Okay we get it Dil" Tommy cut Dil off and he and chuckie slapped their foreheads with their hands as if they were having a major headache at the moment.
"Look Dil me and chuckie don't kiss each other, it's not that were not best friends it's just that were both guys and kissing guys is kinda gross, the reason why Mandy kissed you and its ok is cause she's a girl if you haven't noticed" Tommy stated with worried expression on his face
"gee I never really thought of her that way" Dil answered with a confused look on his face. Mandy and I have always been best buds and I guess I never thought of her as girly girl like Angelica. I guess im pretty lucky to have a girl like Mandy that shares my feelings and she's the best friend I'v ever had and nothing can change that as Dil thought to himself.
"Never thought of who that way?" Mandy answered as she returned with Lil next to her.
"uhh I was just thinking about how Pangborn has been lately, he's just not the same without Ms. O keetes"
"yeh I hear ya it seems like hes always in a bad mood" Mandy said as she sat next to Dil handing him over his favourate drink and Lil sat next to Tommy.
Wooh that was too close Dil thought himself
Off in the distance a familiar voice was heard. The voice was rude and arrogant and especially not nice. Everyone turned to see that it was none other than Angelica Pickles with her blonde hair was worn down and she wore a pink sweater to match her out fit.
"Heya pre-teens oh and Tommy heard your gonna be trying out for football this year, Im warning you Tommy it's not gonna be easy but best of luck though, oh and Charles maybe you want to find a real sport this year instead of board games and reading like you do every year
"I don't see you doing anything Angelica" Chuckie said with a groaning look
"As a matter of fact Charles I happen to be doing cheerleading this year so stick that up your nose" Angelica retorted
"yes I can really see jumping pom poms a sport" Chuckie in a laughing sarcastic tone
"Who asked you chuckie a guy like you could never do anything besides being a geek all the time"
Cuckies expression on his face turned into a frown
"Why do you have to be so mean all the time Angelica I mean we've known each other since we were babies and I thought we were friends" said Tommy
"Look Tommy I didn't mean to be mean or anything, I'm just trying to give chuck some motivation to do something else than what he's been doing for the past 4 years. He's got to change if he wants a girlfriend or a friend, anyways I gotta go no time to waste and people to see"
Deep down I knew Chuckie could do something great I just need to reach him or make something inside him tick and a whole new attitude and bravery that was lying deep down inside would emerge. Angelica thought to herself as she was walking off
"You okay Chuckie" a soft angel like voiced soon appeared over them and it was Susie Carmichael.
"I heard everything and I'm so sorry Chuckie" "She has no right to say things like that to you. If it helps Chuckie I like you just the way you are" Susie calmy said as she patted Chuckie on the back in comfort.
"Yeah Chuckie don't listen to anything what Angelica says she just jealous cause she can't do the things you do" Harold says he appeared behind Susie and smiled as he placed his hand on Chuckie shoulder.
"Just be yourself and soon or later she will learn to respect that well most of the time I think?" Harold says trying to reassure Chuckie
"Harold get over here now!" Angelica yelled from across the cafeteria
"Coming Angelica" Harold says as he left the gang's table and waved goodbye
"Man I wish for once he would just follow his own advice and look at other people besides Angelica" Susie said with a sigh "anyways I got to go make sure Angelica doesn't hurt Harold, oh and Chuckie just remember you will always have me as a friend and the people around you" Susie said As she left the table and waved goodbye to the gang.
Chuckie smiled and waved goodbye to Susie as she left
"Anyone seen Phil or Kimi" asked Lil
"Woah can't believe I didn't realize there weren't here" Dil said in astonishment
Just as Dil finished talking, Phil and Kimi came to the table Phil looked as though he was just about to go to sleep.
"Woah what happened to you?" Dil asked while looking at Phil
Just as Phil sat down the table he fell asleep on the table letting out little breaths as he was sleeping
"Fascinating" Dil said as he was popping Phil's Snore bubble
"Dil could you just leave him alone besides he looks kinda cute when he's like this" Kimi said with a hint of mischief on her face knowing that Lil would say something hilarious on her face.
"ewww" Lil said with a disgust look on her face. "I see that just about everyday when I have to wake him up and it's disturbing"
Everyone laughed a bit besides Chuckie who was still thinking about what Angelica said about him. How a guy like him would never become popular, cool, and athletic or get a girlfriend. He looked to Tommy and saw he was brave and noble it was something that he was not and Angelica made him realize how inferior he was to everyone else
"Hey guys I'm just gonna take a walk for a while" Chuckie said as he slowly got up and left the table looking a little depressed
As Chuckie walked off out of the Cafeteria, Kimmi asked "what's the matter with Chuckie" With a concerned look on Kimmi's face
"Before you and Phil came Angelica was being mean to Chuckie" Tommy explained the whole situation to Kimmi
"That Angelica makes me so mad sometimes" Kimi stated in an angry state. "Wohh there Kimi I know you care for your brother and all but don't do anything your gonna regret" said Lil trying to calm her best friend down.
"Lil's right Chuckie has been like a big bro to all of us we shouldn't retaliate against Angelica just for pay back that would make us as bad as her" Dil said with a confident voice
"Yeah true even if we do get back at Angelica you know that she'll think of something to get even and we'll be in a war with her and that's something I wouldn't even wish on my worst enemies"
Everyone turned to look at Phil who was now wide awake and looked focused as though he was ready for action
"Wohh bro no offence but that was the smartest thing I have ever heard you say" Dil said with a little grin
"Tell me that was not Phil that just said that" with Tommy's of shock
"Are you sure you're feeling ok Phil?" Kimi asked with now an eyebrow raising look towards Phil as if she was just shocked at his intelligence.
Mandy came over and touched Phils forehead "Well he's not sick"
"Guys quit it and let's go find Chuckie". "The more we stay here the more Chuckie will be depressed" Phil stated in a pretty high voice as if it was an order to soldiers. And just like that the whole gang was just about to leave the cafeteria in search of Chuckie. "You should sleep more often maybe you'll actually get a pretty decent grade" Lil said as she smiled
"Lillian you know that is never gonna happen" Phil retorted as they were running out of the cafeteria
"Yea I suppose" Lil quickly answered back. "Come on guys we gotta make sure Chuckie's alright" with a Concerned look on Tommy's face worrying about his best friend.
Chuckie's POV
As I walked by myself through the school halls I was still thinking about what Angelica said and I wasn't mad at Angelica but at me because all the things she said was true. I went to bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror and asked myself "Is this what I am? A geek and a coward who would rather run away than face his problems?". As I said those words I heard a little scream outside in the halls and hurried over to the source.
I hurried over to find a small girl about Dil's age being bullied by Luke Bouldon the 8th grade bully. "Drop that kid right now" I heard a familiar voice and traced it to Angelica
"What was that" The bully retorted. "You heard me you overgrown butt face put her down right now this instant!" Angelica yelled with a look on her face that spelt trouble.
"heh you don't scare me pickles" The bully retorted with a sinister cocky look on his face that showed he wanted to hurt Angelica.
He dropped the poor little girl and advanced on Angelica as the rest crowd laid speechless and terrified of Luke.
He picked up Angelica like a rag doll and shoved her to a locker. As I witnessed it something inside me swelled up and I felt angry that Angelica sacrificed herself for a poor young girl.
As he was about to punch Angelica I shoved my way through the crowd I shouted with an aggressive look on my face. "Oi Butt face over here why don't you pick on someone else other than girls".
Just like that he turned his attention over to me and his eyes were full of hate "You mean someone like you Finster" he dropped Angelica and started coming towards me
"what are you doing Finster this is not the time to be a hero!" Angelica yelled as she ran towards me and pulled me further away from Luke.
"Are you hurt Angelica" I said immediately as we were trying to run from Luke who was chasing us. "No but you will be if you don't start using those things you call legs" Angelica said in a state of panic. As we look back we could see an angry Luke gaining ground on us as we ran through the halls.
"Stop Angelica!" I yelled as I pulled her back. I don't know why I said those words and stopped running, but deep down inside I knew that running away and hiding would be pointless.
"Chuckie are you crazy, your gonna be killed!" Angelica yelled as she was trying to pull me and run for dear life again.
"No Angelica you run. Run as fast as you can to get help and don't look back!" I yelled back and pulled her hand off my shirt and pushed her in the opposite direction that Luke was coming.
Gulp here goes nothing. Tommy I want you to have all my clothes and Kimi I want you have my laptop and Angelica you look really hot today I thought to myself thinking of my last words as I was running full force with a fist out into the oncoming Giant Bully known as Luke.
I didn't know what happened next but I felt punches to my gut and face and just as I was about to lose conscious I heard a voice and looked. It was Angelica's then I heard Pangborn's voice right after hers. I was in extreme pain and before I passed out I mumbled to myself "Way to go Angelica".
The next thing I saw when I woke up was Angelica sitting next to my sick bed in the care room. As I tried to pull myself up I felt pain on my face and in my gut.
"Chuckie your awake oh thank god!" Angelica yelled. Then as quickly she made her relief smile turn into a frown and grabbed my shirt yelling "What the hell were you thinking trying to fight Luke are you crazy your lucky he didn't hurt you more. That was the most stupidest thing you have ever done of all the times you picked to be hero you chose me!". She yanked my shirt as my head was moving up and down as she was yelling.
"and I'm really happy you chose me" her voice turned into a that of a sweet angel and hugged me while tears were dripping down her face.
"You really scared me there Chuckie, I thought I couldn't save you" Angelica said in a gentle tone, her hug tightened on me and I felt happy that I could share that moment with her. I hugged back and we were close for a minute I could feel her breath breathing down my neck.
"Chuckie I'm so sorry about what I said in the cafeteria I never meant a single word of it". Angelica said as her tears washed away the little make up that was on her face.
"I like you just the way you are Chuckie and don't ever change" Angelica said as she hugged even tighter and I hugged her back pulling her closer to me
"Thanks Angelica you don't how long I wanted you to say that" I said in a low voice trying to muster all the strength I had say those words.
"Don't scare me like that again Chuckie you know I care too much for you" Angelica muttered as she gave me a last hug and kissed me on the forehead.
"Get better Finster otherwise you won't be able to get a date for the school dance" Angelica winked as she left the room and blew a kiss at me. I waved back with a smile on my face and a hint of blush
I smiled and as I saw Angelica left. I felt a sense of belonging and a feeling of being in love. Wait what was that just now did Angelica just blow me kiss me and I blushed. I thought to myself in a look of shock. "Nah it can't be" I said to myself. This is Angelica I'm talking about the girl that pretty much terrorized my entire childhood. It must have been a coincidence or a one time thing.
Just as I thought about it and laid back down on the bed I heard footsteps coming and I was glad to see my friends come in. "Hey Chuck how ya feeling" Tommy asked with a relieved smile on his face
"Surprisingly not as bad as it looks" I said giving a little smile
"We were so worried about you Chuckie. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you" Kimi said as she hugged me and I could feel small tears dripping down her face.
"It's ok Kimi you're here now and that's what matters" I answered trying to cheer her up.
"Sorry Chuckie we couldn't get to you in time" Lil said as she too hugged me and a small tear left her eyes too.
"Thanks guys u don't know how much this means to me?" I replied with a smile on my face.
"I betcha we do" Phil smiled as he came to my bed with a get well card that was very well decorated and filled with funny jokes and was signed by everybody.
"Wow thanks Phil I never knew you could…..
"Don't thank me Chuckie it was all Angelica's idea but I wrote the funny jokes" Phil said as he gave me the card and a pat on the back
"We all contributed but it was mostly Angelica who did the decorations and stuff" said Tommy. "I'm glad your okay buddy you had me worried there" "Thanks T" and we gave each other hi fives.
"Excuse me I hate to break this moment but you guys have to get to class now, oh and Chuckie I examined your injuries and nothing serious so you can leave shortly" The nurse spoke with a happy smile on her face
"Looks like you won't have an excuse when I beat u in battle tag later on" Phil smiled
"Your on Deville" I smiled back. We all hugged and said our goodbyes before everyone left to return to class.

"Oh yea you got that right girlfriend" Susie quickly agreed and the rest of us just exchanged confused glances at each other.
