pChapter 22:
Bunny's POV:
Today I purposely got up early. I was so broken hearted this whole weekend and so was Bubbles. I had my alarm for 6:00a.m because I wanted to leave early and had to see someone at school today. I wasn't sure if I had wanted to wake up Bubbles, so I just let her sleep. We both have had uneasy nights for some nights due to our injuries and bruises. I looked in the mirror to glance at my shoulder and it was purple with blue surrounding. The blood was clustered a little and it hurt like hell. After that I grabbed my bag and was about to leave the room when
"Where are you doing Bunny?" Bubbles asked sleepy.
"I am going to school early today Bubs. I can't face anyone today; our sisters or the boys or anyone else for that matter." I say to her.
"Ok then. I am also coming." Bubbles says getting out of bed.
"No. Bubbles you should get some rest. You haven't slept well this whole weekend." I say to her.
"Neither have you. We either go together, or not at all." Bubbles says in a motherly voice. I gave in and she heads to her closet, takes her outfit for today and into the washroom. While she was I stared at my hat collection and thought about how much I had missed wearing them. I use to love wearing him and I still do, but I wish I could forget and loose the desire.
"Why don't you wear one?" Bubbles says snapping me out of my thoughts.
"You know why I can't." I say. "Let me take a look at your arm."
She brings out her arm, pulls the sleeves back and saw the result. Not much success in our injuries. I sigh. She pulls it back down and grabs my school bag the I lent her and I grabs hers, since we both were on a trade for a while.
We headed downstairs into the kitchen and made breakfast. I made not to use the oven or stove because that would wake everyone up. So Bubbles and I settled for bagels and juice. We were both eating and we heard footsteps behind us.
"You two are up early." We turn around and it was Mason. Bubbles panicked but I remain a little calm.
"Please don't wake anyone up. We want to be in school before they do." I say in somewhat confidence.
"I understand that you two are still upset with your sisters, but holding grudges is not a good thing." He says to us.
"We know Mason. But is it is for their own good." Bubbles says, after finishing her breakfast. I looked back at Mason and he did look confused to what she said.
"How come you are up early?" I ask, changing the subject.
"Normally 7:00 a.m. is when my duty starts." He says and I look at the clock. He was right and Bubbles and I had to go. I get up and Bubbles follows and we head out the door.
Mason's POV:
I was getting a bit curious about the girls, but since I knew everyone was about to get up soon I headed to the kitchen and started making food for everyone.
Fifteen minutes later I see Blossom and Brick come downstairs. They were dressed and ready for school but blossom was not smiling like before in the morning. I guess she still blames herself for the argument. Soon after, Buttercup and Butch and she had the same facial expression as her elder sister. I guess she was also very upset with herself. Later Boomer and Blaze came down and joined everyone. They looked around searching for someone and I already knew whom.
"Breakfast is ready everyone." I say and they gathered around the table and sat down. Soon after Sophie and Julian came and they also joined us.
"Where are your sisters?" Sohpie asked.
"Um… they should have been here by now, I'll go check on them." Blossom says getting up.
"They are already gone." I say and everyone looks at me.
"Gone. Gone where?" Blossom asked me.
"They left to school 40 minutes ago, and I was surprised that they had to leave that early." I say to them.
"Did they tell you what for?" Brick asked and I nodded my head.
"No. They didn't mention their reason, but were still very upset." I continued
"They are still mad at us, aren't they?" Buttercup says looking down.
"Well more that that. For the past few days I have been noticing something about them." I say, in a curious tone.
"What?" the sisters asked at the same time.
"Well for one thing Bunny, I believe her name is, purple one, she hardly ever uses her right hand. She morally works and does things with her left. As for the Bubbles, I believe her name is, is always wearing fully sleeved clothes despite the weather condition." I say.
" What are you getting at Mason?" Julian asked me.
"I am saying they are probably hiding something. I may be wrong but to me that is what it looks like." I say and everyone looks at me, stunned.
"Well I hope you kids can figure it out if something is bothering them. My husband and I have to get to work. We will see you all at dinner tonight and make sure those two join us." Sophie says and they all nod. Sophie and Julian head out leaving the boys and girls suspicious.
"Anything else you found strange?" Boomer asked.
"I will explain everything else when you get back from school." I say and with that I take my leave. I heard the door shut behind me.
No Ones POV:
Bubbles and Bunny were at their lockers putting some things away when Ryan and James approached them.
"You two better keep your boyfriends away from our girlfriends." Ryan scoffs.
"They aren't- Bunny got cut off by James.
"Save it you liars. If you know what is best for them and your selves, you would listen." Ryan says making holes in Bunny's eyes. Soon they heard footsteps and at the end of the hall and saw who it was. There sisters with the boys. Ryan and James saw them and gave a look to Bunny and Bubbles. Blossom and buttercup, as well as Brick's Brothers were confused. Ryan and James left the hallway, while everyone stared and Bunny and Bubbles. They looked back down to getting things and avoided them standing there. Bunny was done so she closed her locker, and now was waiting for Bubbles. Her sisters, they boys followed behind them, approached them but Bunny avoided eye contact.
"Bunny don't look at us, but at least talk to us." Blossom says. Bunny just kept herself silent.
"You done Bubbles. We are going to be late." Bunny says avoiding Blossom and the others. Bubbles grabs her bags and closes her locker and were about to leave when her sisters blocked them.
"You are not leaving until we get some answers." Buttercup says.
"We have to go Buttercup, or we will be late for class." Bubbles says sadly, but kindly.
"Class doesn't start for the next fifteen minutes. You have time." Boomer says to her.
"Fine. What do you all want?" Bunny says with attitude.
"Why were James and Ryan here?" Blossom inquires first.
"That is none of your business." Bunny says, looking at the lockers.
"It kind of is our Business since you are our sisters, so spill." Buttercup says, determined to know.
"Buttercup whatever we talked about with Ryan and James stays between us and them." Bubbles says, and that shocked her.
"Just because you guys are mad at them for being over protective, doesn't allow you two to be rude." Brick says.
"We are not mad at them for that." Bunny says looking at Bick.
"Then what you mad at?" Butch says frustrated.
"They clearly know, and no reason for you to get frustrated." Bunny says eyeing Butch. Suddenly Bubbles arm began to ache and she gave Bunny a look. Bunny noticed what she was saying they had to move fast.
"Are we done here yet?" Bunny asked annoyed.
"No, we are not." Blaze says.
"Well, we are." Bunny says and was walking away with Bubbles when Boomer and Blaze grabbed their arm and shoulder
"OUCH!" they both screeched. Both girls were in pain and Blaze and Boomer at each other confused.
"What's wrong?" Blossom asked worried. Bunny shuggered off Blaze hand of her Shoulder and Bubbles shrugged hand off her arm. They both ran out of the hall and left everyone confused.
"We didn't even hold them with full force." Boomer says, and Blaze nodded.
"Mason was right. Something is definitely up with them." Butch says and everyone nods.
Brick POV:
I was in class with Blossom but she was not sitting beside because she was working with her partner on the project. I was with Princess and she wouldn't stop bragging about herself and wealth. She gave me some pictures for the presentation and I was done making the presentation over the weekend. I could not wait for the class to be over, even though it just had begun.
"So… How was your weekend Bricky?" Princess asked.
God does she EVER SHUT UP I mentally yelled.
"My name is Brick and my weekend was fine." I say to her while working. She gets mad and looks away in another direction. I was dying for this class to end and what happened today at the lockers was still on my mind. First off, what were Ryan and James doing there? Should they not be with Brat and Berserk. When we walked in, they went leaving the girls annoyed. Secondly, they both screeched in pain when Blaze grabbed Bunny's shoulder, and Boomer held on the Bubbles arm. Their grip on them weren't too titer, and they said so themselves assuring. Then Mason's talk came into my mind:
They are probably hiding something. I may be wrong but to me that is what it looks like.
It somehow did sound true, thinking about it logically they leave early, come late, go on late walks, and have become more independent than usual towards us. Bunny and Bubbles are constantly talking amongst each than normal.
Then the bell rang. Was I in deep thought for that long? I grab my books put them into my bag and walk over to Blossom. She was getting ready to leave as well and we both walk out together.
"What were you thinking about?" Blossom asked me.
"A lot of things." I say.
"Well don't think too much or you will get old." She says teasingly.
"Who are you calling old Pinky?" I say, giving her a new nickname.
"Did you just call me pinky?" she asked wide eyed.
"Yes." I say.
"Ok…Bricky." She says mocking me.
"Don't call me Bricky." I say.
"Then don't call me Pinky." She says defensively.
"Actually it sounds cute when you say it." I say and I see her blush red. She starts to walk faster.
"Come we have to get to class." I guess she got a little embrassed, but I also start walking faster.
Butch POV:
Buttercup and I were in our second class, but she was sitting beside her partner. I sadly was sitting with Brute and she stop touching me. Doesn't this girl know how to keep hands to herself? She did get me images for our seminar and I finished creating the seminar over the weekend.
"So Butchie-boy… how was your weekend." She says while leaning her head on my shoulder and hugging on tightly to my arm, and at the corner of my eye I could see her boyfriend Norman getting jealous. He was sending me daggers into my eyes.
"My name is Butch and let go of me before I push you away." I say warningly. But she did not budge. So therefore I take my foot slide her chair away, and she looses the grip on my arm. Before she could say anything.
"I warned you." I say and she stomps off to Ace, her boyfriend.
And I thought boys were players…
I looked over at Buttercup and could tell it was hard for her to control her laugh. I on the other hand couldn't help but giggle. At least she was smiling after the tragedy from this weekend. I hope they all mend forces soon, especially since mom wants see them together at dinner today. Buttercup and Blossom need to try talking to them again and inform them about the dinner meeting tonight and it was not going to be easy. Especially after this morning, I wonder what got into them. Mason was right they have been acting strange lately but what could be the reason or reasons. What was with the attitude and why did they scream like that, and more importantly what were Ryan and James doing there. Bunny and Bubbles have kept so many secrets that it seems to be destroying their relationship with her sisters and us. I can see at times Brick has a crush on Blossom, Blaze has a crush on Bunny, Boomer likes Bubbles a lot, and I do like Buttercup a lot. But none of us will get anywhere if Bubbles and Bunny don't spill.
The bell rang and I was surprised and I was thinking for that long. Congrats Butch you were thinking. I put everything back into my bag, and head over to Buttercup. She was done packing and we left the classroom together.
"I can't believe you were actually thinking. Just out of curiosity what were you thinking about?" she asked and I was surprised, at the same annoyed
"I do think Butterbabe." I say to her mockingly and she blushes.
"Don't call me Butterbabe Butchie- Boy." I hate that nickname.
"Don't call me that." I say
"Don't call me Butterbabe." She says.
"You know I will let you call me Butchie-boy. It sounds hot when you say it." I say and she turns dark red. Buttercup starts to walk faster and I try to catch up to her to get to our next class.
…
End of the last class:
Blossom POV:
I was our last class and I was walking towards the hallway when I heard voices. I stopped brick behind and me told him to be quiet.
"He is getting suspious. What are we gonna do?" it sounded like a girls voice, but not just any girl. It sounded like Bubbles.
"I don't know, but we can't tell. Not now. Not ever. It is best if they don't know." And that sounded like Bunny. I peeked over the wall and saw my two young sisters. They both looked panicked.
"What is wrong with them?" Brick says hovering over me.
"I am not sure but they do look panicked" I say.
"Come on let's head over to the lockers before anyone finds us here." Bunny says and they both run off.
When they were gone, I looked to where they were standing. It was Katy's nurse's office. Why would they be here?
"Why would they be here?" I thought out loud.
"Who knows, and now I am convinced that they are hiding something." Brick says looking at me.
"Yea. I should probably ask them after work today." I reply and starting to the locker hallway with him behind me.
