Chapter 9
Cheerful little Ching was out infront of the Goh-Rong sharpening her swords, when suddenly; Ring-Ring strutted down the sidewalk towards her. Of course, she was wearing pink today; a little pink sundress with pink ballet slippers with humongous shades. "Oh hey, ex-cheerleader and former best friend! What are you doing? Sharpening your little swords out on the streets?" teased Ring-Ring. Her dog, Yumi, barked at Ching and Ring-Ring laughed. Ching stood up and dusted her purple leggings of metal shavings. "What are you doing here, Ring-Ring?" asked Ching with disgust, "I thought you hated me."
" No, I pity you because you're just so unpopular and such a loser! By the way, Abyo bought me this bracelet for my birthday," flaunted Ring-Ring as she held her hand in pride, baring a shimmering crystal bracelet encrusted with rubies. Ching's anger flared! "Why would he do that? Your birthday is four months from now! Don't you even try to fake this!" yelled Ching. Ring-Ring chortled and flipped up her shades. "Oh, honey, it's not like I bought this myself, spending a great load of money, JUST to get you jealous! I mean, that would be silly!" exclaimed Ring-Ring slyly. When Ching was about to pull out her swords, Pucca popped out holding a tray of tea and deep-fried pumpkin pastries. "What's Little Miss Fudgewad doing here?" asked Pucca. Ching chuckled, "She's just here to make me jealous with this new bracelet that Abyo bought. And by Abyo, I meant HER." Pucca set down the tray of snacks and turned to Ring-Ring, "Look, Ring-Ring, you are OBVIOUSLY not wanted here, so why don't you and your scrawny little dog get the hell out of here?"
Ring-Ring looked shocked, "Well, Pucca, my dear! Watch your language! Fine, Yumi and I will be getting out of here! It's not like I want to be seen with you losers," taunted Ring-Ring, "Oh, and Pucca by the way! Stay off of those pumpkin sweets. You're looking a tad puffy! I'm not sure that Garu likes puffy girls! I don't understand why he isn't interested in me! I am way prettier than you!"
Pucca was caught off guard, "Wait! Ring-Ring, how did you know about what Garu said?"
"Haha! Pucca, I am Ring-Ring! I know about everyone! And frankly, Garu should not be with the likes of you! He is the most popular boy in school—after Abyo of course—and I'm the most popular girl! You're just a..a..a newcomer!" laughed Ring-Ring. She strode off without another word, leaving Pucca angry and confused. "Um…Ching, can I run upstairs for a bit?" asked Pucca. "Sure, I'll just finish up sharpening these babies," replied Ching. Pucca raced upstairs to her room and slammed the door shut. She yanked the phone off of the receiver and dialled Garu's number. "Hello?"
"Garu! Hey, it's me! I have a question!"
"Oh! Pucca…hey. Uh, what do you need to know?
"Did you tell Ring-Ring…about…you know…what you said?" asked Pucca awkwardly.
"Ring-Ring? Why would I tell something like that to someone like her?" asked Garu.
"I don't know. I was just wondering. Anyways, today, I received a package in the mail!"
"Really?" What is it?"
"Our squad team uniforms! You've got to come over here and see them! They look awesome!"
"Sure! I'll be there in a second! See you!"
"Bye!"
Pucca felt a little more chill after she talked to Garu. There's just something about him…
