Well, I'm sorry for not updating in a while, but I've been busy with other stuff. Here's Chapter three.
Don't talk to him, don't look at him, don't acknowledge his presence. These were the thoughts I had on the way into detention, and to my happiness, he wasn't even there. I slid into a seat in the middle of class, and waited for this to end. It must've been 20 minutes later when HE came in. He just sat right next to me like I was his buddy or something.
"Hey Bloss"
"Don't talk to me"
"Whats wrong?"
"You got me sent to detention, you moron!"
"No talking!" The teacher doing detention said. I rolled my eyes at Brick and I looked away from him. About 30 minutes later the teacher left, saying he'd be back in 25 minutes and if there was any talking, he'd get us in even more trouble. I tried not to talk to Brick, even though he kept on talking to me.
"Why do you have to hate me?" He suddenly asked I turned to him in surprise.
"You need me to answer?"
"Yeah"
"I hate you because your my counterpart. I hate you because you beat on me 10 years ago. I hate you because your evil. I hate you because your you." Okay, I'll admit, that last one was really harsh, hating him because he was him. Brick looked away, a look of sadness taking his face.
"Do you think I wanted to hurt you back then?"
"Huh?"
"I was created to kill. To destroy. The fact that you were what I was created to destroy is bad luck"
"But you still did"
"Because I didn't know how to do anything else. Destroy Blossom. That what my mind thought 24/7. Later in life I knew that it was wrong to just want to destroy and now I regret doing what I did back then."
"You do?"
"Yeah" Brick's head was in his hands.
"I know you can't forgive me but..." I slowly put a hand on Brick shoulder, causing him to tense greatly, but he relaxed.
"I forgive you Brick, I really do" He looked at me, a shadow of a friendly smile on his face, which, after I thought, I returned. After that, I guess me and Brick had a decent conversation, until the teacher came back and we had to stop. While I was flying home, I had a shock of reality. Had I really just forgiven my arch nemesis, for something he could've easily lied about? I had. I really had. Why had I? Was it because of, what happened, a long time ago? Don't think about it, don't think about... don't... ?
Flashback
I was floating in the air, staring into the crimson eyes of the 6 year old in front of me. For some reason, I wasn't attacking him back. No, not for some reason. I knew why I wasn't fighting
"Attack me, Pinky!" He yelled
"No" I replied. He growled and lashed out, but I grabbed his arm and flung him the opposite way.
"Attack!" He yelled again.
"Brick, I don't want to fight you"
"Why not?" I remained silent,not giving him the satisfaction of my weakness.
"Why?" He asked again.
"Because maybe I just want to be your friend, did you ever consider that ?" Brick seemed confused
"Friend...?" He asked. I watched the boy think this over, thinking about why I didn't fight him. It was because for some reason, I felt like Brick wasn't supposed to be my enemy, I felt weird about that...
Now had I known that Brick was watching me, I never would have thought the following sentence
Could I be in love with him?
I couldn't believe it. I was in love with Brick, and I felt the heat rush to me face, and Brick snorted.
Brick's flashback
I stared at Blossom, trying to get some idea why she wanted to be my friend so badly that she wasn't even attacking me. I watched her think, until I saw her flush, and I instantly knew why she wanted to be my friend, but I couldn't believe it. Blossom loved me. She loved me, that's why she was being so friendly.
"You like me don't you Blossom?" She looked up at me, and the disbelief in her eyes confirmed my fears. The reason this freaked me out was that I felt weird around Blossom lately, which I think affected my effectiveness at her in battle. I couldn't say that.
"Gross, you do!"
"Brick, wait..."
"Come on, guys! Lets get outta here!" So Boomer and Butch stopped beating up Bubbles and Buttercup, and flew away from Townsville with me.
End of flashback (both ends)
I landed on the doorstep and stepped inside. That probably was the reason. I knew that I couldn't just forget what I felt, but I knew that I was NOT gonna go out with Brick, Not a chance in the world.
I flew around Townsville, looking for Boomer. He had grabbed me and yelled 'your it' Now, I couldn't find him. I flew down to meet the mayor and town hall
"Hello Bubbles!" He said cheerfully.
"Mayor, have you seen Boomer?"
"Blonde,tall,blue shirt,parted hair like yours?"
"Yeah!"
"Never seen em" I gave the mayor a curious look. I floated around the corner, and the Mayor sighed.
"Good thing I didn't tell her he went to the spiky building in the middle of Townsville!" I flew past him yelling "Thanks Mayor!"
"Your welcome Bubbles!" I flew to the Townsville sky needle, and found Boomer sitting on the top of the platform, totally oblivious to my presence. I grabbed him from behind and yelled 'gotcha!' Boomer laughed
"Come one, Bubs. Leggo!"
"No!" I made the wrong decision. Boomer flipped over and he landed on top of me, pinning me down
"You win" I said. Boomer laughed
"Yeah I do"
"Now what?"
"Well, I gotta get going anyway, so..."
"Oh, okay" Maybe there was some unhappiness in my voice, but I knew that Boomer felt it
"Don't worry Bubbles, we can play tomorrow again, if ya want"
"Sure,okay" He smiled. He did something unexpected. He leaned down and gave me a peck on the lips. I felt so weird, so alive. I felt so alive, like my senses had taken steroids. I didn't even know when Boomer had flown away, I just lay there on the platform, staring out into the sky. What the hell had just happened?
Sorry about not doing Buttercup and Butch, but I just woke up and I'm fucking tired. Buttercup and Butch will have the next chapters beginning,maybe.
