Rico's house 1:00 AM Wed.
It was about one in the morning as Rico was lying down with his hand's behind his he could hear was the sound of raindrop's hitting the windowsill, and the enormous crash's of thunder far off in the cloud's. He opened the window just slightly so he could feel the cold air rushing into the room. The rain alway's seemed to soothe him. Mabey it was cause of the lighting. They did sound like large explosion's after all.
Rico rolled to his side to gaze out the window. Across the street he could see Private's house. Next to that was Kowalski's, and a couple houses away from his was Skipper's.
Rico climbed out of his bed and put his shoes on. He tiptoed through the house so he wouldnt wake his parent's. On the way out he grabbed the text book Kowalski had lent him. He made his way out front were the rain seemed to be getting tougher. Rico sat on his pourch and opened the text book that was now in front of him on his lap. He began to study as he would see the rain drop's hitting the pages in front of him.
Kowalski's house 2:25 AM Wed.
Unlike Rico, Kowalski hated the rain. He could never get any sleep. The thunder was just to loud. As for the rain, it felt as if it was pounding at his head. Whenever it rained he would just lay on his bed holding a pillow over his face.
Kowalski got up and made his way downstair's. He wandered into the kitchen and pulled out a litter of fruit punch. He poured some in a glass and sat at the kitchen table. Slowly, he began takeing sip's every few second's eyeing the window. The rain was starting to bug him. He got up and went over to shut the curtin.
But before he shut it, He looked across the street to find rico sitting on his pourch in the rain. Studying! Kowalski grabbed an umbrella and threw the glass in the sink. He walked out the front door and made his way down to the sidewalk.
Across the street Rico was studying page by page. Suddenly the rain stopped, but he could still hear raindrop's hitting the ground. He looked up to find a dark blue umbrella above him. The person behind the umbrella was none other than Kowalski.
Rico smiled as Kowalski sat down next to him. The two of them scooted closer together so they could hide from the rain. "What were you doing out here?" Rico shrugged and continued writing, still holding the smile on his face. "Look's like your studying. Am I right?" Rico nodded his head and closed the book. "Uh huh."
"Darn. I believe the rain's starting to get harder, and it look's like it wont be letting up soon either." Rico set the book in Kowalski's lap. "Your done Rico?" "Uh huh." "Are you sure? There's still the rest of today and tommorow for you to study." Rico nodded and leaned his head out from under the umbrella to look up to the sky. "Read whole thing." Kowalski's eye's widened as he saw Rico getting up from were he sat.
"The whole thing? Your read the whole thing?" "Yup." Kowalski got up still holding the umbrella over his head. Rico was kicking the puddles of water watching it fly into the air. His mohawk was now laying down from the rain. Kowalski walked over to Rico. Rico pulled the umbrella out of his hand and threw it off in the grass. "Hey!"
Rico was now taunting him by splashing water on his pant's leg. "C'mon." Kowalski let out a small chuckle and walked over to Rico who was now standing still with his arm's crossed. "So. Now what?" "This!" Suddenly Rico had kicked a splash of water up at his face in which Kowalski tried to dodge but failed. Then Kowalski tried to splah Rico by getting a handfull of water, but failed by falling into the head first. Curse his balance. Then the splash fight began. The two began splashing each other over and over till they were soaking wet. (Ofcourse Rico may have just been wet due to the rain, considering Kowalski only hit him once or twice.)
The two of them walked over to the curb still laughing. Both sat down and leaned back so the rain could hit there face's. After a while there laughter began to die down. Kowalski lifted his head to look up into the sky. "Hey Rico look. A rainbow." Rico sat up to see what Kowalski saw. "Leprechaun." Rico let out a little chuckle and got up from were he sat.
"Actually a rainbow is formed by a very complex and fascinating Process. It's When light passes through a water droplet, the curvature of the surface combined with the density of the water in comparison with that of the air causes... Oh. Right." Kowalski got up and walked over the Rico. "Mabey we should head home. Im starting to hear lot's of lighting and I dont want to be struck. He he."
"K." Before Kowalski could turn Rico grabbed him by the hand and srung him around. Kowalski was about to speak but Rico placed his lip's against Kowalski's. After about a minute, Rico pulled away. Kowalski was dazed for a while until he turned his head to pick up the umbrella. He let out a small sigh in exchange. "Rico." Rico lowered his head and talked in a low voice "Sorry."
"Thank's." Rico's head lifted up when he heard his friend say the word he was hopeing for. "Huh?" "Thank's...Rico." Kowalski lifted Rico's head so they were eye to eye. "Before I was just thinking of Skipper's silly rules. and what if we were to get caught. Now I see that I dont really care for his rules. How about...we keep this a secret. Just between you and me?" Rico smiled and shook his head.
"Good." Kowalski turned around the walk back to his house. "So will you come over today to get done with the study's?" " Yah yah." Kowalski walked off back to his house as Rico went the other way, both a smile on there faces.
Bus stop 2:50 PM Wed.
School came ad went and The four of them were getting off the school bus. This weather was still as fierce as it was last night if not fiercer. Skipper and Private were walking up front while Kowalski and Rico were in back, every time the other two werent looking they would hold hand's. "So Rico. Wanna head to my house for the studying? Or your house? "Rico was quickly to speak up. "U's." There was no way he was gonna let him see how big of assholes his parent's were.
"Ok. My house it is then. C'mon." Kowalski and Rico seperated from the other's. Private waved goodbye to them and continued walking with Skipper. "Hey skippa! Wanna go to the movie's?" "Sorry Private. I have some buisness to take care of." Private dropped his head. "Aw. Pleeeeeease! Please! Please Please!" "Fine!" Skipper rubbed his forhead as Private ran off. "In the distance he could hear "Meet there at 3:30!"
Kowalski's house 3:00 PM Wed.
Kowalski and Rico both once again sat at the same desk with book's open in front of them. This time Rico seemed to be paying attention more. Or was that because Kowalski was loseing attention. Kowalski pulled somthing out of his pocket with thought's going through his mind. "Oh great. What if he think's this is stupid. Im dead. Im such an idiot. Uh oh! He looking over here!" Rico was looking in Kowalski's direction.
"So. Uh Rico. Instead of studying. I was thinking...Wanna go to the movie's? Kowalski held out a couple ticket's. "Ofcourse if you dont want to..." "Ok." "Huh?" Rico got up and threw his backpack over in the corner. "Kowalski smiled and done the same. "I decided to get an action film with lot's of explosion's. I didnt know what you would like so that was my best guess." Rico let out a small grunt. "Yes!"
Theater 3:25 PM Wed.
Kowalski and Rico entered the theater. "Ok Rico. How about I go give them the ticket's while you go buy the food. "Rico shook his head and walked off to the conssesion stand. Kowalski made his way to the ticket booth and handed the ticket's.
Rico was standing in line behind about 7 people. He hated waiting. That's why he would usually fill his backpack up with food and sneak into the back of the theater. It saved a lot of time. But since Kowalski was with him, he decided to wait. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice. Private. Rico turned back to see Skipper and Private entering the building. "Uh oh." Kowalski walked over and stood next to Rico. "Hey Rico."
Rico pointed behind him in which Kowalski looked back only to see there two friend's. "W...what are they doing here?" Rico shrugged and continued moving up the line. "Well im sure there not seeing the same movie that we are. What are the odd's?
After 10 minutes at the consession stand they finnally got to the front and ordered there food. 3 bucket's of large popcorn, 4 pretzel's, 2 large soda's, 3 cotten candy's, 6 candy bar's, 2 hamburger's, and 4 nacho's...It was Rico who decided what to buy. The two of them walked off to the movie and entered the room. "Were should we sit?" Rico called Kowalski over and kept walking. The two sat a couple seat's from the front.
After the opening credit's the movie started and it was exactly what Rico wanted and what Kowalski had expected. A movie with loud explosion's, violence, and gore. The blood and gut's usually made Kowalski sick. So whenever it came up Kowalski shut his eye's and held his put his hand out so Kowalski put his hand in his. "I think him gonna be sick." Kowalski let out a small chuckle and turned back to the movie.
Behind the two of them they heard a small chuckle. Both of them looked back to see Private, who was playing a gameboy advanced game. "A handheld in the theater? What's the point in coming then?" Kowalski turned to Rico who shrugged. "Great. Skipper's here to?" Rico nudged him in the shoulder which made Kowalski turn around. "Yaho your right. Let's get back to the movie."
Infront of the theater 5:40 PM Wed.
Kowalski and Rico managed to get out of the theater without Skipper and Private seeing them. The rain was still pouring down as the two walked down the sidewalk. Kowalski held an umbrella over the two so they could stay out of the rain. "Well that was an...ok movie. Right Rico?" "Ya!"
"Well It look's like I should be head'ed home." Rico put his hand's and his pocket's. "Kk." Before Kowalski turned Skipper and Private walked up and joined the other two. "Hello there K'walski, Rico. What are you doing outside in the rain?" Kowalski scratched the back of his head. "Oh nothing really."
"So. Kowalski. Rico. How's the studying going?" Skipper patted Rico's back. "Fine." "Good." Kowalski turned to walk away. "Now if you excuse me I was just about to be headed home." Private waved goodbye to Kowalski and turned as well. "See you tommorow guy's. I need to get home to."
Skipper and Rico were left standing in the rain. "So Rico. Why exactly were you standing outside in the rain? I thought I orderd you to keep studying." Rico shrugged. "Gotta go." Rico grunted and turned the other way until he heard Skipper speak up. "So how was the movie?" Rico turned his head to meet Skipper's gaze. "Eh?" "The movie? How was it?" Rico kept silent and kept continued walking.
Skipper grabbed Rico by his coat and pulled him back. "I told you Rico. This is'nt a game. If you dont pass you cant go on to highschool with Kowalski and I!" Rico pushed Skipper away easily with barely any strength at all. "Get off." "Whatever. If you dont pass...that's not my problem. I'll just as easily replace you like a small guinea pig." Rico stopped and looked back. "So. You gonna study or not?" Rico punch Skipper in the gut knocking the air out of him and down on the pavement. Rico just kept walking hearing skipper's voice in the background. "Im not joking Rico! I will replace you."
Kowalski's house 6:15 PM Wed.
Kowalski was laying down on his bed looking up at the ceiling. "That was close. What if Skipper and Private had cought us?" Kowalski let out a loud yawned and looked otu his window. Across the street he could see Rico's house and smilled. Kowalski got up and headed downstairs. He walked into the liveing room and sat on the couch and flipped on the t.v. "Hmph. Nothing on."
Suddenly he heard a knock on the door. Kowalski got up from the couch and opened the door to find Private. "Hey there Private. What are you doing here?" Private ran in and stood behind Kowalski. "Uh...Come in." Private suddenly spoke up. "Im moving." Kowalski's eye's widend. "What? What do you meen by that?" "Im moving away.
"You see K'walski. My father has gotten a promotion at his job. If he take's it, He would be getting about five times of payment that he's already getting. My parent's dont want to pass up this 's started to roll down his eye's. Kowalski walked over to Private and put his arm around him.
"Did to talke to your parent's about It yet Private? Im sure they'll understand." Private rubbed his eye's. "No. I did'nt talk to them. My parent's seem'ed to happy when they found out about it. I dont want to spoil it for them." Kowalski walked Private over and the two sat on the couch. "Private. Remeber that pack we made yesterday? That you, me, and Rico will stay together no matter what?" Private looked up and nodded.
"What about the pack? What will happen if you leave?" Private lifted his head rubbing his eye's. "Thank's K'walski. I'll talk to my parent's about it." Private got up from his seat. "By K'walski. and Thank's again." Kowalski waved as Private left through the door.
Kowalski leaned against the couch. "Everything's going wrong. Rico's test...Private not being able to go on to highschool...Private possibly moving... Me and Rico hideing are secret...It's a wonder this team's still intact."
Rico's house. 7:34 PM Wed.
Rico could'nt believe what he had heard. Will Skipper really replace him? Or was it just a threat for Rico to work even harder? He sitting in front of the t.v playing some games with the stereo turned up loud.
