Social Care chapter 10

Now, we get to a interesting part in the story. Guess what it is?

Benny: The ending?

Of course not, we still have some chapters to do. What I meant was- actually, I'll let you guys read it and find out. Enjoy!

Eddy sighed as he looked at the soccer team's uniform. He then shrugged as he looked at the uniform. They were using the Raptors uniform this time, a red shirt and black shorts. It's the same as their PE uniform except the soccer shirt is V-necked and there is a logo of a raptor on the right breast.

Eddy said " Well...I've worn worse and I've worn better."

Johnny scoffed as he replied " I doubt that, Eddy. But at least we'll look OK when we're out on the field Saturday night."

Ed smirked before he looked around and asked with a confused look on his face " Uh, guys, where's Double D?"

Johnny answered calmly " He's in the principal's office, Ed, remember?"

Ed nodded as he said " Oh yeah. I remember now."

Double D came running downstairs where Ed, Eddy and Johnny were , panting as he shouted " I'm here! So what do we do tod-is that a uniform?"

Eddy nodded and then replied " Yep, Double D. But it's not just a uniform. It's OUR uniform for the upcoming game."

Double D raised an eyebrow before he looked at the uniform. It looked normal enough with the T-shirt and shorts so he put it into his book bag and looked around. He sighed in relief as he didn't really see a lot of people around.

Eddy asked " So, Sockhead, what did the principal want with you?"

Double D answered " Well, it turns out that I'm one of the people representing St. Mary's in the Better your Brain competition."

Johnny said " That's great, Double D! Good job."

Eddy thought " Of course Double D would get on a team for some intelligence competition. He's smart."

Ed thought " Good job, Double D! I wonder if St. Mary's gonna win..."

Eddy said " Hey, you know what's weird?"

Johnny asked " What?"

Eddy answered " There isn't a single sixth or ninth grader on that team. Why is that anyway?"

Double D replied " Simple, Eddy. The principal wanted to give the seventh and eighth graders a chance to prove that we are just as good and smart as the sixth or ninth graders."

Eddy shrugged as he, Ed and Johnny put the soccer uniforms into their bags. The four began walking to their first class and began talking about things on the way there.

Johnny said " So, Mister Casanova, what was that look at Izzy back at the crosswalk?"

Eddy replied " Will you stop getting on me about not talking to Alex? And what do you mean about the look?"

Johnny smirked before he said " You know that look you gave Izzy back when we were walking to school?"

Eddy raised an eyebrow. He didn't give Izzy a look back at the crosswalk and Johnny knew that. Unless it was the other way around. Izzy gave him a look at the crosswalk. Or Johnny could just be teasing. He decided on the third one.

Eddy rolled his eyes before he replied " Real funny, Smith. I'm dying of laughter."

Johnny said " Besides, she was the one looking at you. I'll tell you, in all the time I have lived at PCC, I've never seen Izzy with a look like that on her face. Not since..."

Johnny suddenly stopped talking as he had a unusual look on his face. A look as if he was remembering something.

Eddy asked " What? What is it?"

Johnny seemed to remember where he was and shook his head.

Johnny answered " Nothing. Come on, let's talk about something else."

Eddy said " So what are our positions?"

Double D raised an eyebrow and asked " What do you mean, Eddy?"

Eddy answered " Our positions for the soccer game. What did you guys think I meant?"

Double D's face was red with embarrassment as Ed, Eddy and Johnny realized what Double D thought Eddy was talking about. Johnny was chuckling.

Ed was laughing out loud as usual. But Eddy was laughing the most. He was on the floor, holding his sides and his face red as he laughed.

Johnny wiped a tear from his eye before he said " He means if we'll be a forward, defender, midfielder or goalkeeper, Double D."

Eddy asked " So what are your positions?"

Johnny answered " I'm a midfielder, our great Ed over here is a defender, you're a midfielder with me and Double D's our team goalkeeper. Well, backup goalkeeper."

Eddy said " Cool, so you're with me. Ed is great at defending but Double D? A backup goalie? He should be a defender at best."

Double D replied " That is quite flattering, Eddy but I think I am better off being a goalkeeper."

Eddy rolled his eyes before he shrugged and said " Hey, if that's what you want to do, so be it."

Eddy asked " Speaking of team, who's the other five kids with Double D in this smart competition?"

Johnny answered " Jacob Terani. He's 15 and an 8th grader who's the running back for the school's football team. Kristen Nicholas. That girl was born to be intelligent. Everyone says that she'll be a lawyer or a doctor or a vet someday. Bryan Christenan. I know the kid from the neighborhood. He's kind of a loner but he's OK."

Johnny continued " Courtney Ray. She'd probably be the most popular girl in the entire 7th grade if she wasn't so stuck-up and spoiled all the time. Glenda Ray. Courtney's twin sister and her complete opposite. Kind and gentle with not a single mean bone in her body. She doesn't look too bad either."

Eddy asked " What do they look like?"

Johnny answered " Jacob's blond with green eyes. Kristen's brown-haired with light brown eyes and freckles. Bryan's the same as Kristen but with dark brown eyes, black hair and no freckles. Courtney and Glenda are both blonde but Courtney has light brown eyes and straight hair and Glenda has blue eyes and wavy hair."

Eddy said " Did you say blond, wavy hair, blue eyes?"

Johnny raised an eyebrow before he replied " Yeah, I did. Why?"

Eddy said " That's the girl who was checking Ed out yesterday!"

Ed scratched his head before he replied " Who, Eddy?"

Eddy said in realization " Ed, remember those two girls who were looking at you yesterday as we were going home?"

Ed nodded as he remembered the two 7th graders. When he noticed them, the two passed by him, blushing and gossiping to each other afterward.

Johnny said " So you guys think that Glenda likes Ed?"

Eddy nodded and replied " Yeah!"

Johnny sighed and looked around. He knew that he would have to come up with a decision about this and quick. So he came up with the most logical solution.

Johnny said " We'll find out today. But we can't let her know that we know that she likes Ed."

Double D replied " She could just be admiring Ed. We don't know what her intentions are."

Eddy said loudly " Come on, Sockhead! What else could it be? She obviously likes him."

Johnny replied calmly " I agree with Double D, Eddy. We're probably going to have to find out what her intentions are with Ed. But we have to be subtle so she doesn't figure it out."

Eddy grumbled but he nodded. The four began walking to class.

So that's the end of our interesting chapter! Right, Benny?

Benny: Yeah, it was.

So today was the start of the English Premier League! Unfortunately, Arsenal didn't score any goals. Thankfully, neither did Sunderland.

Benny: Why do you bring recent events into your Author's Notes, anyway?

It's comforting and unique, Benny. Read and review!
