I own nothing but the plot
Wolfgang pov
It was Monday morning a day in which most children and adults dread because it means that the weekend is over and it was now time to get back to work. On normal days Wolfgang would share that feeling with the rest of the world but today was going to be different. He had woken up bright and early and after getting all the things he needed for school he headed out making a quick visit to City Park before making his way to P.S. 118.
Wolfgang made his way over to the back of the school which was where he and the rest of the fifth grade boys usually hung out before school started.
"Hey Wolfgang where have you been?! I haven't seen you all weekend?" Edmund asked once Wolfgang had made it over to his best friend.
"I've been busy coming up with a new prank to hit some fourth graders with." Wolfgang says with a smirk, he sets down his backpack and pulls out a large jar filled with red beetles. "We're going to use these red beetles to make all the fourth grade boys itch like they've never been itch before."
"Whoa Wolfgang this is going to be so funny!" Ben says with a laugh.
"Yeah how did you come up with this great plan to use red beetles?" Edmund asked.
"My mom was making watch some nature thing about them on TV and it gave me that idea." Wolfgang says, it was an easy lie for the others to believe one because his mother often tried to get him to watch more educational television. Of course he couldn't and wouldn't tell the others he got the idea while on a hanging out with a fourth grader it would ruin his reputation. "So are we clear we get all the fourth grade boys especially the ones in Mr. Simmons class!"
"Yeah Wolfgang whatever you say." Edmund says while the rest of the fifth grade boys experience their agreement as usual not even concern with the fact that Wolfgang's targets was only the fourth grade boys.
"Good than we'll start with that Peapod kid." Wolfgang says with a malicious smirk while looking down at the red beetles.
Most of the morning to early afternoon was spent with the fifth grade boys finding new and creative ways to sneak the red beetles onto the fourth grade boy's bodies. Wolfgang especially enjoyed watching Peapod freak out about the bugs in the middle of the hallway. By lunchtime every fourth grade boy was sent home because of the beetles.
"Seriously Wolfgang?" Nadine asked him cornering him when he was by himself on the playground.
"I don't know what you're talking about Bug Girl." Wolfgang says trying to play innocent, he quickly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them.
"Every boy in my class had to go home because of itchy red beetles!" Nadine tells him forcefully. "The same ones that I told you about yesterday. And don't think that I didn't notice that Peapod was one of the first boys attacked with the beetles."
"Again Bug Girl I don't know what you're talking about." Wolfgang continues to try to maintain innocence while hiding a smirk. "But hypothetically speaking this may have something to do with a certain party where some boys asked you to dance with them."
"How very mature." Nadine says sarcastically rolling her eyes. "You know that I didn't dance with every fourth grade boy right?"
"Well hypothetically speaking it might not have happened to all of them if I had already known which ones dance with you." Wolfgang says with a shrug still continuing to try and maintain innocence. "Either way though I still don't know what you're talking about."
"Sure." Nadine says shaking her head. "So what happens to the boys I dance with in your class?"
"WHAT?!" Wolfgang asked both taken off guard and completely outrage.
"Hypothetically speaking of course." Nadine says with a smirk then walks away from him before he could respond.
"You can't just walk away Bug Girl you have to tell me which boys in my class asked too?!" Wolfgang tries to call after her but she just kept going.
Wolfgang wasn't a hundred percent sure if Nadine was serious or not but he did spend the rest of the day watching the boys in his class carefully a fact that the other boys noticed. To say the least despite the success of the prank the rest of the week was a bit tense for the fifth graders.
Nadine pov
Almost two weeks later found Nadine starting to realize that she might actually like, like Wolfgang. She still wasn't very fond of his mean strake, he was still a bully through and through with everyone else but her now. But his nice moments with her were wonderful, after the red beetles' prank Wolfgang had showed up at her house with a jar that had the butterfly she had been staring at the day before. It was a nice apology even though she knew that Wolfgang will never just outright say it, at least he knew she was upset and did something about it instead of just ignoring it. It was clear to her now that Wolfgang did really like her they were spending a lot of their free time together. Right now the two of them were hanging out at the park again though this time Nadine was looking over Rhonda's Cool & Geek list for her cool people only party.
"So Edmund and I are finished with the go-kart." Wolfgang says while Nadine looks over the list. "We're going to take it to the track to drive it around a bit on Friday. You should come see me drive 'The Destroyer'."
"Sorry I can't I already promised to help Rhonda with her party." Nadine tells him.
"Didn't she already have a party?" Wolfgang asked surprised. "She's already having another one?"
"Well this one is a different kind of party." Nadine explains to him. "Not really about music and dancing but just socializing and drinking tea with the right type of people. At least that's how Rhonda puts it."
"That sounds so boring!" Wolfgang says rolling his eyes. "Spending the evening drinking tea and eating finger sandwiches? What are we thirty?! I do not want to go to that."
"Yeah well…you couldn't anyway." Nadine says evenly trying not to sound nervous.
"And why not?" Wolfgang asked forcefully always a bit on edge when someone said he couldn't do something.
"Well Wolfgang don't get mad or anything but…Rhonda only wants cool people at her party." Nadine begins to explain.
"Yeah so I'm the coolest boy in fifth grade." Wolfgang say confidently knowing that he was very popular among his own peer group.
"Well not according to Rhonda." Nadine finishes explaining sheepishly showing him the Cool & Geek list.
"I'm on her Geek list!" Wolfgang shouts his face starting to get red with anger.
"Yeah but it's no big deal right? You don't even want to go." Nadine tries to reason with him.
"That's not the point! I am not a Geek! I should not be on the Geek list." Wolfgang continues to spat.
"Don't feel bad most of the fifth grade boys aren't invited either." Nadine tells him hoping he would calm down, she know it was and she could understand why. This cool people only party felt uncomfortable to her but Rhonda was her best friend so she had to be supportive. "Remember you even said that you were going to drive your go-kart that day anyway."
"Yeah sure." Wolfgang says though Nadine was sure he would be trying to come up with ways to get revenge for not being invited. "That party will most likely be boring anyway."
"Maybe." Nadine says with a shrug not one to go against her friends plans. "I'm gonna have to go soon. I have to print out the invitations for Rhonda."
"What?!" Wolfgang says now very much annoyed. "It's her party why can't she do it herself instead of ordering you around?"
"It's not really a big deal Wolfgang. I always help Rhonda like this." Nadine explained as she gathered her things. "I'm her best friend."
"I should teach her a lesson for ordering you around like that." Wolfgang says balling his hand into a fist, he was caught off guard when Nadine started giggling. "Hey what's so funny?"
"Nothing it's just that well, it's interesting that you would be upset about the way Rhonda treats me when you treat Edmund kind of the same way…maybe even worse when you think about it." Nadine explains with a laugh.
Wolfgang became silent for a moment before shaking his head at her. "No it's different, Rhonda's pushy and bossy and elites and-"
"And you're the same way." Nadine adds in standing up to leave. "And I've got to go I'll see you later."
It was soon Friday the day that Rhonda and Nadine would be handing out the invitations during recess, so far Park, Connie and Maria had gotten their invites.
"Pssh Hey Arnold." Rhonda whispers to Arnold getting his attention. "This is for your eyes only." She tells him handing over his invitation.
"Okay." Arnold says before opening up the invitation. "A High Tea Party This Evening at the Home of Miss Rhonda Wellington Lloyd 'restricted invitation'?"
"It means not everyone is invited okay. Only the cool kids." Rhonda says. "Last time I had a party I invited everyone this time I'm downsizing. I'm eliminating the Geeks."
"Uh huh." Arnold says after catching a glimpse of the list.
"See you Arnold have made the Cool List." Rhonda explains in a proud tone.
"How'd I do that?" Arnold asked.
"I don't know I guess it's your moodiness, that brooding air of mystery you have." Rhonda proclaims. "Your unique sense of style."
"My unique sense of style?" Arnold questions not really getting Rhonda's point of view.
"Yeah like that weird little skirt thing you always wear. It's cool." Rhonda tells him.
"It's my shirt." Arnold tells her lifting up his sweater to show her the shirt underneath.
"See that's what I mean the way you call it 'a shirt' is so cool. It's bold. You're a bold kid." Rhonda tells him. "So are you coming?"
"Uh, I guess." Arnold tells her in an unsure tone, with that said Arnold left to go find Gerald.
"Okay Nadine who's next?" Rhonda asked turning to her friend who was holding the list.
"What about Gerald?" Nadine asked facing her friend.
"Geek." Rhonda answers turning her nose up at the suggestion.
"Gerald on the Geek list? How come?" Nadine asked taken by surprise. "He's nice, funny everyone likes him. He seems pretty cool to me."
"Yeah well I've been furious with him ever since he became class president." Rhonda explains to her friend.
"So what? Class president is cool." Nadine insist.
"Yes, but he ran against me and that was definitely not cool." Rhonda tells her. "So therefore he can only be a Geek. Next person."
"Park." Nadine says looking down at the list.
Normal pov
It was later that same day and Rhonda's Cool Party was well under way, with Arnold being one of the last people to make it. So far the only thing that seemed to be happening at this party was Rhonda taking about her vacation in Europe much to the boredom of her guest.
"I'm so glad I invited only the cool kids this time. I mean what's the point of having a party if you invite Geeks? They're just an embarrassment really." Rhonda says while the guest around her nervously laugh. "Like Eugene he's such a Geek he tucks his shirt into his underpants. And Harold oh, oh please the way he eats I can't bear to be in the same lunchroom as Harold. And Stinky where did he learn English green acres?" Rhonda continues to rant about her classmates not even noticing how uncomfortable she was making her guest feel until Arnold stood up to leave. "Arnold? Where are you going?"
"Um you know suddenly I'm not feeling cool enough for this party. But thanks for inviting me. I think I'm gonna go." Arnold says before walking out the door.
"Fine, be that way." Rhonda says feeling offended. "Then you're off my cool list. Nadine?" Rhonda walks over to her friend who hands her the list. "Geek." Rhonda says after crossing Arnold off of the cool list and putting him on the Geek list.
A couple hours had passed and the guest at Rhonda's party were still bored, though she was unaware of this. Soon though they began to hear some kind of bizarre out of control happening coming from Arnold's house. Because this new party seem more interesting than Rhonda's High Tea the guests started leaving some even two at a time.
"I can't believe this is happening to me." Rhonda says in dismay as she watched the whole neighborhood run towards Arnold's party. "Everyone's left the party but you, me and Katrinka."
"Actually Katrinka just left." Nadine says watching the other girl run out of the house.
"What? Fine. Katrinka is off the list." Rhonda says shrugging it off and crossing Katrinka off of the Cool list.
"You know maybe I'll go check out what's going on at Arnold's house." Nadine says deciding that she wanted to leave as well. Rhonda's party was pretty much over and she was pretty sure she just saw Wolfgang running over to Arnold's house.
"Nadine, you can't be serious? You're my best friend." Rhonda says getting upset. "This is very uncool. I'm sorry, I have no choice. I putting you on the Geek list."
"Well Rhonda, you wanted to have a party for only the cool kids. But now that you've crossed everyone off the Cool list except yourself I guess you're the only cool kid left. I'm going to Arnold's. Enjoy the rest of your party." Nadine states walking away from her friend clearly having enough of her attitude for one day. "I'm taking my bowl, okay?" With that said Nadine was out the door and on her way to Arnold's.
"Nadine? You came to the party too?" Stinky asked when she got to the roof with her bowl.
"Boy howdy is there even anyone left at her party?" Sid asked her.
"Well she wanted a party for only the cool kids." Nadine says with a shrug. "I guess that means she's the only one left."
"Oh well, in the meantime Nadine you can put your bowl on the table over there." Arnold told her pointing to the table filled with food and punch.
"Thanks Arnold." Nadine says making her way over to the table, just as she set her bowl down Wolfgang came up from behind her.
"Hey Bug Girl, shouldn't you be at your friend's Cool High Tea party?" Wolfgang asked teasingly he grabbed a handful of chips from her bowl and shoved it in his mouth.
"It wasn't my cup of tea." Nadine tells him. "How'd the test drive go?"
"Great! You should have seen the way I was driving." Wolfgang says after swallowing the chips. "I am so gonna win the qualifying race next week."
"If you say so. Hey let's dance!" Nadine says taking one of his hands to lead to the dance floor.
"What?! No!" Wolfgang says pulling back in a panic much too quickly, he looked around to make sure no one had noticed that their hands were briefly touching. "I mean the music stopped and…isn't that Rhonda over there?"
Nadine turns and sees that Rhonda was now indeed at Arnold's Geek only party. "Well this will be good." Nadine says moving closer to the door, she doesn't notice that Wolfgang used the distraction to creep away from her.
"Hey Wolfgang what were you talking to that fourth grader about?" Edmund asked suddenly causing Wolfgang to nearly jump.
"What?! Oh that…that was nothing I just order her to get out of the way so I could get some snacks." Wolfgang says trying to keep his cool.
"Really cause it looked like she was holding your hand for a bit?" Edmund questions in a clueless tone.
"Don't be stupid Edmund. Like I'd ever let so weird fourth grader touch me." Wolfgang says laughing it off.
"Okay if you say so." Edmund says.
From the door of Arnold's roof the party goers waited to hear the sweet words that would allow Rhonda entrance to the party.
"I WANT TO BE A GEEK!" Rhonda shouts after the music had died down, this cause the party goers to cheer.
"Okay Rhonda, come on in." Arnold says not being one to turn anyone away.
"So you're a Geek now?" Nadine asked with a smirk.
"I mean I want to be a Geek tonight only." Rhonda states causing her friend to roll her eyes at her. "Tomorrow. I'm going to be cool again."
"Of course wha-" Nadine's pauses her sentence when she hears the sounds of wild animals running pass the street. "Is that Curly on a giraffe?!"
"Geez I didn't think he'd actually do it?" Helga says as in shock. "Oh well to each their own."
A/N and that's the end of that chapter! I'll see you next time and as always please read and review!
