Chapter#16: Decisions, decisions.
Stinky threw the small rubber ball as it bounced back after hitting the wooden 'wall' of their tree house as he and the boys waited there for Park and Joey to come back with news about Curly.
They came, followed by Curly and the boys got up in surprise, all of them waiting for him to state his verdict or rather his parent's…
"They're sending to boot camp." He said, his voice void of emotions or references whether he was with or against the idea.
The boys looked at each other not sure what to say and some of them secretly praying Arnold would step p and break the silence.
And he did.
"Do you want to?." He asked simply.
Curly shrugged, "I've caused a lot of trouble for my parents… "
"But he can't go!." Rhonda sobbed into her hands and Nadine got up to comfort her.
They were in the girl's bathroom the next morning in school where she was told the news by Helga.
"I personally think it's for the better Rhonda." Phoebe told her. "It'll help… straighten him up a bit."
"No! all he wanted was to go out with me, like any normal boy who wanted to go out with a girl he had a crush on. And all I did was crush his heart! That's why he did what he did."
"He's just playing with your head Rhonda, he did what he did to put you on a guilt trip. And it's working." Helga said.
Rhonda sniffed, wiped her tears and finally looked up at her friends. Then simply walked out of the bathroom.
