"Women are always saying, 'We can do anything that men can do.' But men should be saying, 'We can do anything that women can do.'" — Gloria Steinem
The scene pans over to the exterior of the massive school, then to the interior of a classroom and the sound of the school bell rings.
"...and that's why we celebrate Women's History month," Ms. Kelly concluded. "To remind us all of the accomplishments and achievements by girls and women alike."
Most if not all of the females present clapped their hands at this, some males did too, while some wore bored expressions and/or did other things, like Anne Maria who was shown painting her toenails, on Cody's back.
"How come there isn't a Men's History month?" Ripper vehemently demanded.
"Because, obvs, men already get celebrated enough, duh." Taylor stated rudely.
"Be nice, Taylor." Kelly scolded.
"Ugh, I swear to god, Mom, you are such a pain the butt..." Taylor groaned.
"Oh, love you too, sweetie, also, don't swear to god. Anyway, class dismissed." Kelly said.
"Eh, whatevas." Anne Maria said as she finished painting her toenails and got up. "Thanks for being my footstool, toots."
"No problem." Cody said as he exhaled and quickly got up. He rushed over and held the door open for some of the girls and guys heading out. "Allow me, ladies first." Tess, Riya, Gabby, Ellie, Ashley and a few others walked out first.
"Such a gentleman." Riya acknowledged playfully as she then blew him a kiss, Jen, Kitty, Emma, Gabby and Ashley giggled. Sierra pinched his cheek as she walked out.
"Thanks, Cody." Tess and Ellie nodded in appreciation.
"Thanks, bro." Tyler said. Damien, DJ, Brick, Owen, Sam, Jake, Tom, Aiden and some others also smiled in appreciation.
"No problem, guys." Cody smiled at his good deed. "All in a good day's work."
The screen shows a time card that reads "Later that same day..." narrated by a french woman.
"Yo, what's up, Ripper?" Zee greeted, while sipping a soda.
"Dudes, seriously, can you believe there's no holiday for men, this is bullshit." Ripper growled.
"I feel ya, bud. Guys are awesome!" Chase nodded.
"Are you idiots serious right now?" Damien growled.
"There's no men's history month simply because... well.. we already do." Caleb simply explained.
Before anymore was said, Ezekiel was being surrounded by multiple girls at once, with Eva holding him up in the air by the throat. B and Drew exchange concerned looks.
"Uh-oh, this can't be good." Trent stated.
"Hey, what's going on?" Cody asked as he walked over to the scene. Some of the guys and girls pointed in that direction. "Aw, crap."
"Sometimes, I just don't get chicks, girls are retarded." Ripper stated in frustration. Cody then notices Alejandro, Duncan, Lightning and Scott watching from the distance.
"Son of a bitch..." Cody muttered.
"What the heck are they up to?" Noah glared at them.
"No good, no doubt." Cody rolled his eyes.
"Shouldn't we say something?" Damien asked.
"Nuh-uh. I'm staying out of this." Bowie said before he gave a bemused smile. "But this should be good or bad depending on how you look at it."
"Ooh, drama..." Topher grinned. "I always wanted to host, er, narrate drama."
"Don't do it, Ezekiel..." Cody shook his head.
"He's gonna do it..." Dawn remarks.
"No." Cody whispers.
"He's gonna say it." Harold chimes in.
"No." Cody hisses.
"Cody, you know, he's going to." Owen nods.
"No." Cody argues.
"Statistically speaking, if my calculations are correct-" Scarlett was gonna transcend into her talkative way before Cody politely stops her.
"Not the time, Scarlett." Cody says politely.
"Very well, he's gonna say it." Scarlett sighs.
"No," Cody breathed.
"Yes, do it, give in to your inner evil!" Max grins.
"No...!" Cody mentally shouts.
"He's gonna do it." Izzy piped.
"No, Ezekiel, don't-!" Cody tried to warn him but was too late.
"Girls stink!" Ezekiel obliviously shouted.
"Yo, what?" Nichelle inquired as she did a double take.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Bridgette glared.
"Well, you gonna say it again, homeschool?!" Eva shouted.
"It's just that, well, guys are much stronger and better at sports than girls are." Ezekiel strained to say, a majority of the girls and boys eye's widen and gasped at hearing this, while Alejandro, Duncan, Lightning and Scott snickered from behind a set of lockers.
"Damn it, Zeke." Cody shook his head.
"Oh snap, bro, he did not just say that!" Geoff said in disbelief.
"He did, bro." Brody nodded, worriedly.
"Uh-oh, bro..." Wayne and Raj exchanged worried glances.
"Why, Zeke, why?!" Damien hissed as he facepalms.
"They must've put him up to it, bastards." Noah rolled his eyes.
"Of course." Cody snarks.
"Yo, what's all the commotion?" Julia asked, as she and a few others walked over.
"This little shit here thinks girls are weaker than guys." Eva stated.
"Phew-wee...!" Riya sniffs the air and pinches her nose.
"I smell something..." Scary Girl mused as she sniffed the air.
"Hm, me too, weird." Izzy snickered.
"That is not me this time!' Owen said in the background.
"No, not you, lummox. I smell a rat, four to be exact," MK stated, she then sniffed the air. "Okay, smells like sweaty underarms, day old jockstraps, cheap butt ass cologne and weak ass testosterone."
"Yup, I smell it too." Axel affirmed as she also sniffed the air. The delinquent, the Spaniard, the dumb jock and dirt boy then arrived on the scene, trying to appear as innocent as possible.
"Of course." Millie glared.
"What the hell do you idiots want?" MK glared. Alejandro ignores her glare and he spoke up.
"Ladies, we couldn't help but overhear this poor, uneducated fool insult your female race like that." Alejandro said with feigned distress.
"Yo, are these idiots being for real right now?!" Cody snarled through gritted teeth.
"Oh is that so?" Riya gave a look of skepticism.
"Yeah, you know it, shottie." Lightning smiled nervously, causing Riya to step back.
"Maybe we oughta deal with this sucker, right, boys?" Duncan spoke.
"Sha-yeah!" Lightning shouted.
"Maybe we should deal with you too, shrimp." Scott suggests, darting his eyes at MK.
"Great, you're gonna be the stereotypical bully now." MK snarked.
"Just stay in your lane, you little brat." Scott smirked, causing the thief to glower.
"Oh, piss off. You'll get yours, pretty boy, dirt boy, jockstrap and short legs." MK glared, addressing each one.
"Hey, watch it, skeezezoid, don't come for my girl like that ever again." Julia glared as she sprayed mace into the dirt boy, causing the boy to scream and cough.
"Sha-cough-ugh!" Lightning coughed out.
"Mouth-wash!" Julia lectured before she continued on. "Also, invest in some deo, bathe regularly with soap and water because, like, fucking hell, man, do you brush? For reals, have you smelled your pits already?"
"And don't even get me started on the feet, goodness!" Nichelle added.
"As for you three," Julia continued, glaring at the other three. "I don't think more needs to be said, does it?"
"Uh... no, ma'am..." Duncan and Alejandro smirked.
"No, ma'am... we certainly weren't the one who's tricked Zeke into talking that trash." Lightning blurted.
"Lightning!" Duncan and Scott exclaimed.
"Estupido incompetente..." Alejandro swore in Spanish.
"Oh, is that so?" Jasmine narrows her eyes and grabs Scott and Duncan by their shirts and lifts them into the air. "Well, which one of you is the idiot instigator? Come on with it then."
"Tell me you weren't a part of this?" Leshawna asked the brainless mega jock.
"Well, I..." Lightning tried to explain but couldn't.
"I should've known..." Eva rolled her eyes and looks at Ezekiel. "Do you still think women are inferior to men?"
"Of course not, eh." Ezekiel said and pointed at the four. "They talked me into it!"
"It was just a joke, Lightning swears it." Lightning says sheepishly.
"You're off the hook." Eva says as she releases her grip on Ezekiel, causing the boy to drop to his knees before being helped up by Tyler and Brick. She then grabs Lightning and strangles him.
"Oh yeah! I'm getting in on this!" Ripper runs over, but is stopped by Axel holding her hand out in front of him.
"Stay out of this, butterball." Axel dryly said.
"That's Alfalfa male to you." Ripper said stubbornly.
"Anything to say for yourself, mega-jock?" Jo asked the now strangled Lightning but he couldn't breathe.
"Oh, shots are being fired and exchanged between the girls and boys," Topher commentated as he looked at Nick. "Care to comment?"
"Oh, piss off." Nick rolled his eyes.
"You heard it, folks, let's continue." Topher said. "I swear this is too much."
"Well, are you two gonna answer me or what?" Jasmine glared. Duncan and Scott were admittedly too intimidated to speak.
"Just let them go, Jas and Eva, they're obviously not gonna talk." Sammy sighed. Jasmine listened to her and threw them to the floor, Eva also let Lightning go and he fell to the floor.
"Aw, this stinks, let's just kick their punk asses!" Nichelle suggested.
"Yeah, prepare to die, you sexist pigs." Grett growled.
"You wanna rumble, losers, let's go!" Scott smirked.
"Wait, gents... ladies.." Cody tried to mediate.
"Stay out of this, shorty!" Some of the girls and guys yelled. This caused Cody to flinch backwards a bit and a frown to appear on his face. Now while Cody was no stranger to his height being acknowledged, mocked or even used for endearment, it wasn't what they said that annoyed him, it was how they said it. Though he was fairly pissed at how ridiculous the situation had gotten, he said nothing and let them finish. Dawn and Noah gave him a comforting pat on the shoulder.
"Hey, watch it!" Sierra spoke in Cody's defense.
"Or what?!" Some challenged the tall girl.
"Or else you'll end up six feet under!" Sierra snarled.
"Whoa, whoa, everyone, let's settle down. This is getting way out of hand..." Trent calmly reasoned as he stepped in between the girls and the boys. There was some murmuring and sounds of agreement.
"You all would listen to Trent..." Cody said under his breath.
"What?" Heather questioned.
"Excuse me?" Courtney also questioned.
"Say it louder so we can all hear you, little man!" Jo said as she grabbed Cody's shoulders, lifting him off his feet. Cody breathed in and breathed out before speaking.
"I said you all would listen to someone like Trent, pause, I mean look at him. Hell, you even let some boys get away with being sexist and derogatory, so long as they look good you couldn't give less of a fuck." Cody repeated, raising his voice slightly. This statement caught a lot of people off guard while Noah and MK snickered, being among those well aware of what he meant.
"I mean, theoretically, he's right." Millie squeaked out.
"And technically, he has a point." Priya nodded.
"Ha-ha, good one, Cody!" Scary Girl cheered.
"Yeah, you tell 'em, bro!" Chase cheered.
"Oh I'm not done," Cody said as he turned to the guys. "Some of you guys here are totally misogynistic and blind that you even let some of the girls get away with crap, so long as they shake their ass and show their boobs off for your fucking atrocious and horrendous pleasure and amusement!" Some gasps were heard as Cody's language was becoming progressively more vulgar.
"Well... I'll be damned, I always knew you had it in ya, Cody." Izzy spoke as she gave her approval.
"He's right about that too." DJ agreed.
"I'm afraid I must concur." Harold nodded.
Duncan and Scott opened their mouths to retort but couldn't say anything, while Alejandro just smirked.
"I-uh.. well, at least some of them know how to treat a lady..." Courtney stuttered, before she said curtly.
"Plus, Trent here is at least cooler, hunkier and more stylish, right, Lindsay?" Heather added, albeit superficially.
"Uh... Lindsay's not here right now, please leave a message after the beep... beeeeeep!" Lindsay said as she hid behind Beth and put a box over her head, imitating a voice machine and making the sound itself.
"I mean just look at Ale-hunk-dro..." Anne Maria gushed, causing the Spaniard to smirk, some girls vocally agreed.
"Bastard..." Noah mutters.
"Don't get too comfortable... or cocky." Heather glared.
"And Justin..." Sadie and Katie added, there were some approval from most of the girls again.
"And Caleb..." Emma said solemnly, yet again earning some more sounds of approval.
"Yo, are you serious?!" Cody exclaimed in exasperation and disbelief. Emma catches herself.
"Oh crap... uh, um, I mean looks are pretty subjective anyway, right?" Emma corrects herself. "I like him as an actual person. I swear, really." She adds earnestly.
"Typical women..." Scott scoffed.
"And Cody...!" Scary Girl gushed. This got no one's approval, not even the boy himself, flattered he was, but the situation already wasn't in his favor, everybody began laughing with the exception of some. "What?" She inquired curiously, yet slightly agitated. While she knew she was eccentric she wasn't dumb either.
"Good one, creepy girl 2.0." Heather said smugly.
"What?" Scary Girl glared. "I swear that wasn't even a joke! I'm being completely serious!" She vehemently insisted.
"Like, oh my gag, are you kidding, right? Look at him." Amy mocked.
"And?" Scary Girl quips.
"So what if he's not attractive, what's wrong with Cody?!" Sierra challenged.
"Sorry, girl, just statin' the obvious." Anne Maria said defensively. "Sure, Cody's not like some of the other sweaty nobodies here, but there's just something about them that seems tolerable. He's got no rizz."
"And they're not perverted, twisted, sicko, peeping toms like you!" Julia added.
"Really? You're gonna be a bitch now?" Priya asked in disbelief.
"Sorry, couldn't resist." Julia shrugs.
"'Sweaty nobodies', really? Ew...!" Dakota shudders in disgust.
"Shut up, rich girl, I was spittin'." Anne Maria said stubbornly.
"Hey, now, I resent that-" Dave tried to step up but got cut down under Courtney's glare.
"Why the hell am I catching a stray, what did I even do?" Cody inquired passively as he got out of Jo's grip and walked over to the girls.
"For one, you aren't in any position to talk and two, you think we were gonna let you get away with what you just said?" Heather narrowed her eyes.
"I was more so pointing out the double standard, from both genders... but whatever." Cody asserted.
"Just who's side are you on?!" Courtney, Heather, Taylor and Anne Maria asked.
"Yeah, who's side are you on?!" Lightning, Max, Ripper and Scott also asked.
"I'm on the good side," Cody affirmed. "Besides these gender stereotypes only mean so much anyways, like, who cares? Can't we all just get along?"
Some like Bridgette, Tyler, DJ, Gwen, Izzy, Trent, Owen, Zoey, Dawn, Brick, Mike, Cameron, Sam, B, Sammy, Ella, Rodney, Jen, Tom, Caleb, Damien, Emma, Priya, Millie and Scary Girl were in agreement, while others like Heather, Eva, Duncan, Anne Maria, Jo, Scott, Lightning, Amy, Max, Sugar, Ripper, Axel, Chase, Taylor, Stephanie, Chet and Lorenzo were in disagreement. The others were either neutral, hesitant and/or indifferent.
"Yeah, and no one asked for your opinion, shorty, so we'll, like, summon you when we care about your existence, thanks." Amy retorts. Cody glowered, but said nothing and just looked down.
"AMY!" Sammy angrily slapped her across her cheek, Sky and Ella held her back.
"Ugh... you're lucky, you little prick!" Amy growled.
"Do you harlots really want to try me in front of Cody?!" Sierra threatened as she bonked Amy and Heather's heads together.
"And an all-out war ensues... how does the victim respond?" Topher instigates once again. Cody glares at the self-centered wannabee.
"Dude, for the love of..." Cody begins in an annoyed tone.
"SHUT UP!" Cody, Heather, Sierra and several of the boys and girls shout, causing Topher to recoil.
"Okay, let's just chill out, this is getting way to heavy!" Geoff intervened.
"Friends, perhaps there must be someway we can co-exist?" Dawn reasoned.
"Co-exist my foot, this... means... war!" Julia declared.
"Wouldn't have it any other way, senoritas." Alejandro smirked.
"Fine..." Heather and Duncan glared. Most of the girls walked in one direction, most of the boys walked in another and the rest just stayed put.
"Well, this was an abomination." Dawn meekly comments.
"Eh, shit happens, I guess?" Zoey sympathizes.
"Uh, is it too late for sorry?" Beth asked.
"Bu-but, but!" Lindsay tried to speak.
"Let's go, Lindsay!" Heather pulled her along.
"Grr... I swear to god I'll deal with you when we get home!" Amy growled at Sammy.
"I swear, too, bullshit..." Sammy rolled her eyes.
"Great... now the girls hate us." Owen deadpanned.
"Way to piss them off, guys." Trent said, while glaring at Alejandro, Duncan and Scott.
"Aw shit, here we go again..." Cody and Damien uttered.
