Wilt walked as casually as he could into his room. If he was lucky Coco, Bloo and Eduardo wouldn't question his where abouts the night before. He wasn't lucky.
"Wilt! Where were you, man?" Bloo questioned.
"Cocococo! Cocococo cococo coco!"
"Senor Wilt! I was muy muy worried about you!" Eduardo sobbed, running up and hugging Wilt's legs.
"Hey hey hey, it's okay Ed, I'm alright." Wilt said while trying comfort his crying friend.
"R-really?"
"Really."
"Seriously, Wilt, where were you?"
"Coco cocococo?"
"I'll have you know I spent the night with Kathy-"
"OoOoOoOoh! You spent the night with Kathy." Bloo said, wiggling his eyebrows which earned snickers from the rest of the group.
"It wasn't like that! She fell asleep and then- it's a long story okay? Nothing happened! I don't even like her like that." Wilt said, blushing during the last sentence.
"Suuuuuuuuure you don't."
"I don't- look breakfast is in a few minutes and-"
"Master Wilt and Miss Kathy I require your presence in my office." Mr. Herriman's vioce rand over the intercom.
"OoOoh, your in trouble!" The other said in unison
"I'm sure it's nothing." Wilt said with a nervious chuckle before exiting the room. On his way to Herriman's office he ran into Kathy.
"Do you think Redhead told on us to Fuzbutt?"
"Her name is Frankie and I don't know. She may have." Wilt said with a shrug.
"If we get busted, I'm blaming you."
"Blame- we didn't DO anything!"
"So YOU say."
Wilt groaned and pushed the door to Mr. H's office open. Herriman was sitting behind his desk with his back to them. Wilt gulped and sat down in one of the chairs. He was extremely nervious. Kathy, on the other hand, strolled casually over to a seat and moved it directly next to Wilt's before sitting down.
"Kathy, what are y-" Wilt started to whisper.
"Do you two know why I called you here?" Mr. Herriman asked, not turning around.
"To lecture us?" Kathy remarked with sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"Very funny, Miss Kathy." Herriman said while spinning around to face them. "I have called you here because Miss Frances-"
"I'm sorry but, I know it looked bad but nothing happened!"
"You don't have to shy, sweetheart." Kathy said, taking his hand.
"Kathy, what are you doing?" Wilt asked through clenched teeth.
"It's okay, Wilty, we can tell people." Kathy cooed while getting closer to him.
"So, Miss Kathy, your not denying the charges?"
"Of coarse not! It was WILT'S idea!"
"Wh-what? Sh-she's joking! Just joking! We- I- She- I didn't! We aren't even a couple! We just met!"
"Reguardless, the both of you are in trouble for occupying the same bed whether or not anything happened. Miss Kathy, you are grounded from the television for two weeks. As for you, Master Wilt, you are grounded from the television, videogames and computer for the rest of the month."
"Wh-what! But Mr. H-"
"No buts, I expect more from you, Master Wilt. Now both of you leave my office. Now." With that Wilt and Kathy walked out of the room mumbling 'yes sirs'.
"What was that!?" Wilt shouted once they left.
"Calm down, dude, I was ju-"
"Calm down! I'm sorry, but NO! You could have gotten me in so much trouble!" Wilt was really mad at Kathy and it showed. She was so aggitating and thickheaded!
"I-I'm s-sorry I didn't-" She stuttered wide eyed. She didn't mean to make him this mad.
"Oh but you did! I'm sorry but what you did was NOT okay!"
"I-I'm s-"
"Just... just leave me alone okay?"
With that Wilt walked away leaving Kathy stunned. She didn't mean to make him so mad. She was just playing around. Now that she thought about it, it was pretty... bad. She didn't mean to get him in anymore trouble for a situation that was her fault in the first place. Kathy felt bad, she had to make it better, but how? Wilt was a nice guy. He would forgive her... right? Kathy shook her head and started towards the dining hall.
Wilt was shooting some hoops in the backyard. He was frustrated with himself for being so frustrated with Kathy. He never got mad anyone for trying to blame him for something so why was Kathy different? Sure what she did was stupid... really really stupid, but to be fair he hadn't handled the situation well either. Had he been too harsh? He had hadn't he? Now he felt bad, but at the same time he was still sort of mad at Kathy. Kathy confused Wilt.
Why did she seem so charming to him? She so strait forth and rude and she was just so... frustrating! Yet there was something... special about her. Like there was something more to her then what he saw that he couldn't place his finger on. It was weird. Wilt shook his head and shot another few baskets. He needed to keep his head out of the clouds and stop thinking of Kathy.
"Um... Wilt?"
Shoot.
"Yes, Kathy?" Wilt said, glancing at her.
"Your playing basketball?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Great!"
"Yeah..."
"Yeah..." Kathy muttered while shuffling around. "Can I... play?"
"If you want... I'm sorry, y'know, about earlier... I-"
"Your sorry?" Kathy stated with wide eyes.
"Yes?"
"Dude... thats messed up! You didn' do anythin' wrong! You were jus' helpin' me out an' I gotcha inta more trouble! An' YOUR sayin' sorry to ME!?"
"... Your accent gets stronger when your angry."
"... Really? All that. And my accent is what you notice."
"Right, sorry. But seriously, it's okay-"
"NO its not. It was wrong! Get MAD, for God's sake! What is wrong with you!"
"I-"
"You know what... come think of it your always all... apoligizy and uptight."
"Uptight-"
"Yeah... you know what. We are going to calm you down. Let loss."
"...I'm going to what now?"
