Chapter 8: Sophomore Year: May 21, 2008

"Is it possible to hate someone more everytime you see them?" Buttercup grimaced.

"He is really getting on my nerves," Blossom hissed.

"Girls, girls please!" Bubbles pleaded, "Can we please... just forget about it for a while?" They could tell Bubbles is angry too, she just doesn't show it.

...

"I am done!" Butch yelled out of frustration. "I am sick and tired of her!"

"I give up!" Brick threw up his hands in exasperation.

"Will you guys calm down?" Boomer shouted over their voices. "It's one thing to give up, but hating them? What did they actually do to us?"

A quick silence passed over them.

Butch scoffed. "Well we try our best to prove ourselves again, and they just... ugh!"

Brick rolled his eyes. "Dude, how could I not hate Blossom right now?" he snarled through his teeth.

"I know," Boomer sighed, "But still. We can't be mad... Or we should try not to." At that, Butch and Brick walked away, mumbling low words.

"Where are you going?" Boomer called out.

"Home!" Butch shouted back as he walked faster.

"But it's only lunch period! You're not allowed to leave!" Boomer yelled.

"I couldn't care less Boomer," Brick called out over his shoulder.

"Hey hey hey," Jordan snapped. She stopped Buttercup in her tracks and pulled her down to sit on the lunch table. "Tell me what happened," she sternly said.

Buttercup didn't make eye contact with her. "Butch."

Jordan shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Butch... did what?"

Buttercup instantly groaned in annoyance. "I am tired of his 'clueless' act! And his constant attempts to win me back! And FYI: They're not working! Ugh!"

Guilt instantly filled Jordan's heart, remembering what happened six months ago.

"So what do you say?" Princess smirked, "Are you gonna keep our little secret? Come on, I'll give you money every month if I have to."

"I... I'm not sure," I almost whispered.

"Well make up your mind!" Summer demanded me. I looked over at the money Princess was flipping through. Oh, Buttercup is so going to be pissed when she finds out about I am going to do.

Buttercup shook her out of her thoughts. "Um... Maybe you should just tell each other your side of the story that summer when it all started." Jordan tried to find a loophole in the agreement with Princess. So maybe Buttercup could find out, without her having to tell her. It's perfect.

Buttercup scoffed. "Like I would talk to him again..." Buttercup's stomach suddenly growled. "Can I borrow some money, I need food."

Jordan took her wallet out of her back pocket. Buttercup accidentally glanced over at Jordan's wallet as she was rummaging through it. Buttercup's eyes widened.

"Where did you get all the money?" she asked Jordan.

"Oh Princess gave it to me about six months ago," she simply replied still looking through her wallet. Her eyes then widened as she realized what she had said.

"Why did Princess give you money?" Buttercup inquired.

"Because... she has the money to..." Jordan stammered. She quickly got up, pulling Buttercup with her. "Here you go, there's your money. Go buy something." She gently pushed Buttercup away.

Buttercup turned back around and walked up to Jordan with a curious face.

"Why did Princess give you money?" she restated with a tone. Jordan got nervous.

"I... had to... keep something of hers."

"What was that something?" Buttercup still had a calm voice, but stern.

"... I had to keep a secret."

Buttercup walked over to the nearest table and patted the seat next to her. Jordan reluctantly sat next to her.

"What was the secret?" Buttercup raised a brow.

Jordan sighed. "Now Buttercup, you can't ask me to blurt out a secret I'm supposed to keep."

"Oh, but I am..." Buttercup slightly narrowed her eyes in curiosity, "What is it?"

Jordan paused before saying anything. "The-the secret?" she studdered.

Buttercup nodded. "Mhmm."

...

"Alright, I'll leave you alone for a while," Bubbles softly said. She patted Blossom's back and grabbed her needed textbooks before leaving.

Bubbles started walking around campus with her heavy books in hand.

"I got to put these things in my locker," she breathed. As she turned the corner, she bumped into someone. Her books were knocked over and she fell to the floor.

The man – whoever it was – was not even watching his way.

"Oh gawd, I'm sorry!" he blurted out. Bubbles reached for the hand that helped her up. As soon as she was up, she dusted herself off and straightened out her clothes. She looked up to thank the person for helping her up. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

"Bubbles?" he asked.

"Oh, hi Boomer," she awkwardly greeted. "Uh thanks for helping me up... I'll be going now." She bent down to pick up her books. Boomer went down across from her and helped her pick up her books.

They both got up and noticed their faces were only inches away. Bubbles quickly tilted her head to the side and looked at the ground. At the same time, Boomer held the book in one hand and rubbed the back of his neck with the other. They laughed awkwardly.

"Um. Thanks Boomer," Bubbles said as she took the books from Boomer's hand. "I'll... see you around."

She walked down the long hallway and took a left to her locker.

As soon as she put her books in, she heard a voice.

"Hey Bubbles, wait!" She turned and saw Boomer running towards her.

Blossom's P.O.V.

"Alright, I'll leave you alone for a while," Bubbles softly smiled. She patted my back in comfort and walked out. Now I'm all alone in this classroom. When is Mrs. Castro coming back? I stared at the wall clock.

Mrs. Castro left Bubbles and me to take care of her classroom and clean it up. She said she'll be back in a while, but I don't think she's coming back. It was her plan all along leaving Bubbles and me here to clean up the mess. Well I'm not gonna do it.

I noticed a book on the ground. I walked closer and saw that it was a composition book. I picked it up and read the name.

This notebook belongs to: Brick Jojo. Brick? Hun... that's weird. As I was going to lay it back on the table, a folded paper flew down.

I put the notebook down and grabbed the paper. It was dated from yesterday.

My English Essay (Draft)
Assignment: Create a fiction based on your real life

There was a man named Renga. He went to Karasu High with a girl he loved. Her name was Hana. She was more beautiful than anything on Earth. She was just an amazing girl. Her and Rengu have been together for a long time. They had many great memories with each other.
Hana used to call Renga, "Akai Bokkusu" and Renga used to call Hana, "Pinku no Hana". Those names began when they both had a date for Hana's birthday.
So one summer day, Hana and her sisters left a message for Renga and his brothers. It was a message saying that Hana and her sisters do not care for Renga and his brothers anymore; it said that they never did care at all. They never had feelings for them.
Renga was heartbroken. But being the strong leader of his brothers, he had to make it seem like he doesn't care about Hana either.
So they all came back to Karasu High for their second year of high school. Even though Rengu had to act like he didn't care for Hana, he still loved her with all his heart. So without his brothers knowledge, Rengu tried to win... One word was scribbled out, but i could still see a part of that word. The front part started with a "Blo" and then it ended with an "m". Bloom? Blo... Blowm? Pfft. No that's not even a word. Ugh forget it. It was probably just a typo. I reread the last sentence.

So without his brothers' knowledge, Rengu tried to win Hana's heart again. He tried talking to her, but it didn't work. Months later, Rengu and his brothers were visited by Hana's friend, Koko. Koko told them to write a letter to Hana and her sisters. They did. But they didn't gather up the courage yet to actually send it to them. A few weeks later, Koko took the letters from Rengu and his brothers, and gave the letters to Hana and her sisters.
Rengu was nervous. Was she going to break his heart again? Or finally see the truth and know that Rengu had not done anything at all to hurt her?
Six months passed and still nothing. Nothing was solved. He was starting to think Hana had forgotten about him.
Rengu was now partially mad at her. She still doesn't believe that he did nothing criminal over the summer.
Why should Rengu be the one who is sorry? The writing became messier and messier. He probably started writing faster. Hana hurt him just as much. Hana is a scribbled out word who cares for no one but herself. She a conceited little another scribbled out word. I stopped reading.

This is based on his real life. I could guess what part... But I have to be sure. I picked up Brick's composition notebook again and flipped through the pages for something to prove it.

A sticky note fell out.

More on the assignment:
As you know it must be a fiction blah blah blah...
It must not contain real names.
It should contain up to 500 words. And blah blah blah.
Suggestion: The names could be translated into a different language for fake names.
Good luck – Ms. Castro.

I wonder what those names mean then. I quickly got to my laptop and went on Google Translate (A/N: I don't own.) I typed in Renga, Hana, Karasu, Akai Bokkusu, and Pinku no Hana.

After what seemed like hours, but only minutes, I found the right translation. Those names were Japanese. They were nice names too.

Renga meant Brick. Hana meant Blossom. Akai Bokkusu means red box. Pink no Hana meant pink flower.

I wondered where he ever got the idea to put in his story that we called each other that. Then it hit me.

...

I suddenly heard a loud explosion, followed by a bright light. I looked up at the sky and saw fireworks. Then I turned to look at Brick and smiled.

"Is this what you meant by bright lights?" I asked him, referring to the little notes he sent me.

"Yeah, I think you're gonna like it." He took my hand and led me back down on the picnic area. I leaned my head on Brick's shoulder.
Then three fireworks flew up next to each other and exploded simultaneously. The first one exploded into a red box, the next one was a plus sign, and the last was a flower.

"What does that mean?" I asked staring at it. Then I looked at Brick.

He smirked and shrugged. "I don't know, think about it..."
It was a puzzle – sort of.

I tried to figure it out. "Hm... The red block looks like a..."

"A brick?" Brick finished my sentence.

"And that's a plus sign I think, and the flower..."

He moved closer and gave me another clue. "What do flowers do?" he questioned.
I caught on. "So it's... Brick plus Blossom," I said. A louder explosion startled me, which made Brick chuckle and wrap his arms around me. I looked up at the sky again and saw a heart shaped firework explode around the "Brick plus Blossom" firework. I smiled then looked at Brick. He smiled back at me.

"Thank you so much Brick. I love it."

"Happy birthday Blossom," Brick smiled. He leaned in, just as I did, and kissed me. It was the best birthday ever.

...

I felt a stray tear run from my eyes, and onto Brick's notebook.

I closed the laptop and walked back to the desk wearily. I sighed and looked around the room. No one is here, no one could see me cry.

Why am I acting this way? Brick was only one guy...
He was the one guy who made you smile a lot.
What happened to Blossom, the fearless leader of the best crime fighting heroes?
What happened to Hana: the one who loved Brick with all their heart?
Hana is just a fictional character from Brick's story.
She is based off his real life. She was based on you.
It's too late. He doesn't even love me now. I ruined everything.
Wait, no I didn't do anything. He ruined it for us... I had nothing to do with why we are over... Right?

READ ME! READ ME!
Guys, I'm having the feeling that the characters are at least a little OOC. I would really love tips and/or suggestions please because this is really only my first story. I know its not as good as the ones you usually see, but I'm so grateful that you have stayed with me.

I know this story is kinda messy right now... I'll fix it up (: I'll try.

So please, suggestions? Reviews? Tips? Please.

If you guys are a little frustrated with how things are going right now, I suggest you listen to the song Don't Want an Ending by Sam Tsui again or reread the first chapter... (: Thanks so much!
