Chapter 9: "What'd You Do?!"
Cody was surprised that he actually kissed Jasmine. He wasn't sure if what he did was right, so he sought counsel from his good ol' buddies.
"What's up, buddy boy?" Chris asked as he ruffled Cody's hair.
"Nothing much," he replied. "I took your guys' advice."
"Really? Well, good for you," said Jeff as he smiled.
"I kissed Jasmine."
Jeff, Chris, and John stopped what they were doing.
"You did what?!" John screeched through his teeth.
"I kissed Jasmine," Cody repeated himself.
"Rhodes, you can't just kiss a girl like that! You have to ask her out first!" bellowed Chris.
"Really?"
"Duh!"
"But you guys didn't tell me that!" he said innocently.
"We figured you would know because it was so obvious!" yelled Jeff.
"Great."
"It's downhill from here Codester, downhill from here," said Chris.
"It can't be that bad, right?" asked Cody.
"Dude, you don't even know if she has a boyfriend," John said.
"If she did, she would tell me," Cody tried to reassure himself.
"We don't know what to say, Cody," said Jeff.
And with that, Cody left. He had no idea what to do. Then, he remembered that after he kissed her, she smiled. She must have liked the kiss as much as he had. He raced to Jasmine's room. There was some hope that she could be his.
