Chapter Seven

A Lunch Incident

Gibby

We all met at the Groovy Smoothie the next day. We all were sipping smoothies and having double date. I was flirting with Carly a bit, but not enough to piss Sam and Freddie off.

At school Valarie seems happy. I don't know why, but I think it's not good. She twirls her hair by her locker when talking to Ripoff Rodney. She was trying to by a taco because she didn't have a lunch. "Um, how much for the cheese taco?"

"Five dollars."

"Oh my God, what a ripoff! Rodney!" she says, and stops twirling her hair.

"It's in the name babe." she says, closing his jacket of tacos.

Valarie slaps him, and she walks off angrily. I notice she's walking towards Carly, who was talking to Wendy. Not watching where they're going, the bump into each other. Valarie screams. Carly drops the lunch tray, which used to have Carly's lunch on it. Everyone laughs. Valarie's mouth drops and she slowly looks up at Carly. "You... YOU..."

"I am so sorry! I didn't look where I was going and..." Carly stops because Valarie dumps the rest of Carly's lunch in her shirt.

Everyone gasps. Valarie looks up at Carly again. "Well," she says to everyone, "I'm still hotter."

She starts to walk off and I go comfort Carly. But all of a sudden, Sam gets up and grabs Valarie's hand, forcing her in front of Sam. All is silent when Sam says, "Well," she turns to everyone, then back at her, "let's see how hot you are after I beat your butt!"

Sam raises her hand, aiming for Valarie. But before she takes a blow, Carly talks. "Sam, don't."

"But she..."

"I said don't!" she walks over tho them and moves Sam out of the way, "Without me doing it first."

And sooner than you'd know it, there was Carly and Valarie in a chick fight. Sam backs away to me in awe. Freddie walks over and taps me on the shoulder. "What do we do?"

"I'll get her." Sam says, getting Carly away from Valarie and another cheerleader pulling Valarie away from Carly.

Sam drags her over to me, and I hold her back with all my might, messy hair and all. All gets silent again, not because it's over, because principal Franklin comes in. He walks in and stand in the middle of the lunchroom. "Carly. Valarie. Office. Now."

I walk Carly over int the office, followed by Sam and Freddie. Valarie follows in her sassy walk of hers, and I turn to look at her. She rolls her eyes and looks down. I want to kill that chick.
