Inside the school gym, by the girls' locker room.
"Great... now the boys hate us." Priya deadpanned.
"And the crappiness is thorough." Millie added.
"Way to piss them off, gals." Gwen said, while scowling at Heather, Courtney and Anne Maria.
"Right, y'all just had to go and open ya big, fat mouths, didn't ya?" Leshawna scolded as Heather and Courtney rolled their eyes, but for different reasons.
"Shame on you girls for picking on poor Cody like that." Jen scolds. "For reals, that was totes ghetto as hell."
"You even upset Cody and made him feel like shit!" Sierra said angrily.
"So?" Jo inquires.
"So, that was totally uncalled for." Beth said disapprovingly. "Berating him and shaming him specifically for being a boy, what the hell?"
"Yeah, you even, like, totally insulted his manhood and his dignity and all that." Lindsay added. "You even said that some of the boys, not all of them, are all gross and sweaty."
"I can only imaging what kind of emasculation he faces on a daily basis when not around many of the other boys or dealing with this." Dawn inquires with concern.
"I admit, not my proudest moment or my strongest." Courtney sighs. "I'll own up to that, but that was mostly Amy's, Heather's and Anne Maria's fault. They started this whole thing."
"Oh, please, woman up." Heather scowled. "As if they're that butthurt. They're big boys, they can handle it. As for Cody, he can suck it up."
"Don't you dare say his name in vain, Heather!" Sierra hissed.
"Aw shit, here we go again..." Kitty and Emma (RR) uttered as they look over at one another.
"What did I do?" Anne Maria asked obliviously.
"What did you do?!" Sierra growled. "You attacked the wrong boy that's what you idiots did!"
"I didn't mean to, I swear to God, damn." Anne Maria defended.
"Yeah, Samey...!" Amy says, intentionally trying to draw attention and shift blame onto Sammy.
"Oh, don't even try that shit on me now, Blamey!" Sammy deadpanned.
"Ah, screw the boys, I don't understand dudes sometimes, boys are retarded." Axel stated in frustration.
"Yeah, I like the sound of that." Julia piped.
"Ditto!" Eva was punching a bag pretty hard but she put a hole in it. "Oops."
"Let's go somewhere where we won't dilute any testosterone." MK said.
"But where exactly?" Emma asked.
"How about we go to the pool?" Riya suggests. "Give me a hell yeah!"
"HELL YEAH!" The all shouted.
"Come on, let's get out of here." Izzy says, cartwheeling away.
"I can't wait to get this sweaty smell off of me." Priya giggled.
"Tell me about it." Millie nodded.
"I don't do sweaty." Nichelle scoffs, whipping her braids back and forth.
"But you're a teen actress who does her own stunts." Zoey points out.
"I, uh, true." Nichelle was gonna refute but then she boasts. "You know what, I look hot when I'm sweaty."
"OMG, I look so fetch when I'm sweaty!" Jen boasts.
"Unlike stinky Courtney." Heather taunted.
"I swear to God, Heather, if you don't shut up, I was a CiT." Courtney argued.
"More like a B-I-T-C-" Heather was about to say.
"Okay, enough!" Bridgette shouted.
"Don't you idiots get it?" MK spoke up. "We had our chance to finally right some wrongs in the face of adversity, in the name of equality and all that, but we didn't." Some nodded their heads, some hung their heads down in shame while others mused in thought or pondered in realization.
"She's right." Courtney states. "Our stupid competition for equality, feminism and domination has either endangered the wrong someone or got the wrong person in trouble. In this case, the wrong males."
"Right now, this is our turn. To stand up for those wrongfully oppressed, to get a free-shot at the boys who get away with it all," MK urged. "We could beat up on 'em, we could kill~" A collective gasp was heard among them.
"Kill?" Izzy and Scary Girl's ears perked up at that. The others glance at them then turn back to look at MK.
"~their spirits..?" MK finishes.
"Oh." They all said collectively.
Outside the school gym area, basketball court
"You guys are dicks, you know that?" Tyler scolded.
"Pfft, whatever." Duncan dismissed. Cody tosses the basketball behind him, unbeknownst to him making the shot in the process and walks away. Ripper then catches the ball and takes a shot, scoring a basket himself.
"Dillweeds!" Ripper gloats.
"Typical dumb stereotypical alphas." Noah remarks with an eye roll.
"Tell me about it." Damien nods. Ennui looks down at Cody.
"Are you okay, Cody?" Ennui asks. Cody is out of his train of thought and looks up at Ennui.
"Hm? Oh, yeah, I'm okay, thanks for asking, Ennui." Ennui nods. Cody gets up from where he was sitting and walks off.
"Where are you off to, Cody?" Tom inquires.
"I think I should apologize to them." Cody announced.
"Good luck, dorkus." Duncan sneers. Cody glares and turns around.
"And now that I think about it, I think you four should come with me." Cody said, ignoring that comment.
"Why?" Scott belligerently asks.
"Cause it was your fault, doofus." Trent interjected, punching him in the arm.
"Yeah, don't y'all got moms, man!" DJ scolds.
"Not only that, but you idiots instigated this whole thing to begin with." Cody said with indignation. "You even tricked Ezekiel into saying those sexist stuff."
"Yeah, so what, dillweed?" Duncan ignorantly brushes off.
"Yeah, what are you gonna do about it, squirt." Scott challenged as he, Alejandro and Duncan sized Cody up. Cody looked up at them with a scowl, though he was frustratingly and admittedly intimidated by them, he didn't show it this time.
"Back off, bro." Tyler scowled as he, Harold, Brick, Tom, Noah, DJ, Owen and Trent stood in front of Cody.
"Or what?" Duncan sneered. "Lightning come check this fool."
"Lightning's staying out of this!" Lightning says, still feeling bad about earlier.
"Stupid idiots." Harold insults the trio, glaring at them with his arms crossed.
"Really, you four ought to be ashamed of yourselves, especially you three." Tom scolds.
"Cody was right to call you all out, even if it was wrong." Jacques adds. "I could never imagine myself treating Josee with such disrespect, or any lady for that matter."
"Mama raised a gentleman, but she didn't raise no scrub either." DJ scowls.
"Same here." Brick adds, with a loyal salute. "I have a code and a mantra I follow everyday. "No soldier left behind" or in this case, "Treat everyone fairly and equally" be they girls, children, animals, etc."
"Please, gents. The gentleman's code of honor means nothing unless you have the looks and the diplomacy to back it up." Alejandro smirks.
"The hell does that matter?" Cody inquired.
"It means that I'm far more superior than you, little bromigo, socially, physically, mentally and intellectually. I can pretty much have any woman I want." Alejandro sneered. "And I'll always be better than you..."
"Oh, I see what this is." Cody nods, feigning submission.
"Glad you finally~" Scott smirked, before Cody interrupted.
"You're all just jealous because if a girl were to flock to a dork like me, Harold, or Noah and Ezekiel or Sam, Cameron, Mickey or Jay, Max, Junior, Dave and even Leonard, it'd not only be a massive shot to the status quo, but as rebellion and a shot to your already massively over-inflated over-sized fucking egos!" Cody shot back. "I hate the status quo! Fuck you and your crap-ass rep! You're not real men, you're womanizing scumbags!" This outburst once again shocked a lot of people, however some saw this coming.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Raj, Wayne, Chet and Lorenzo chanted.
"Whoa! Come on now!" Rock, Spud, Brody and Geoff opposed.
"You want to say that again, you little pipsqueak?!" Duncan threatened.
"I'll come to apologize to, eh." Ezekiel admits, interrupting the confrontation.
"Dude, it wasn't your fault, you didn't know any better." Cody said reassuringly.
"I know, homes," Ezekiel inhaled, before continuing. "But I still said all that stuff and never apologized for it, and that's what a real man would do."
"Ezekiel, that is truly the smartest and bravest thing a man can do." Brick smiled. "Hell, I'll even say it's the upmost honorable thing a man can do."
"Really?" Ezekiel smiled.
"Really." Bowie nodded.
"Thanks, guys." Ezekiel nods.
"No problem, bud." Devin smiles.
"I had enough of this toxic masculinity crap for one day, I'm off." Cody declared.
"I'll go with you, Cody." Ennui offered, as well as most of the other males. Cody nods.
"This is so ludicrous, you know?" Cameron inquired.
"In what freakin' universe is it okay for guys like us to be punished for minor indiscretions, like looking at the girls or peeping at them, when people like Alejandro, Duncan and Scott do it and get away with it? Like, gosh, idiots!" Harold spoke up.
"The nerve!" Max scoffs.
"That's why I pine for the women in video games." Sam spoke. "Even if it is fantasy, they're real in my mind."
"Hypocrisy is a bitch." Cody shrugs.
"And double standards." Mike added.
"Surprise, bitches!" Gabby waved with a smirk.
"Yoo-hoo, sweaty boys!" Josee called out tauntingly. "We've been wondering when you'd arrive, we've been here for hours."
"Well, I just want to say, I, Cody Anderson, here do apologize to all you girls, er, voluptuous young women, It was very wrong of me and I am very sorry." Cody spoke earnestly. A majority of the girls felt genuinely touched by the compliment and the apology.
"Aww!" Most of the girls said.
"As a young male, I'm not ashamed to admit it, and you may do whatever it is that you want with me to recoup your superiority." Cody said with pure vigor and earnestly. The girls however began to laugh at this, confusing him. "What?" He inquired, slightly annoyed.
"Come now, Cody, why don't you give us all a hug?" Dakota teased.
"What?" Cody raised his eyebrow, causing the girls to laugh again.
"You're forgiven, Cody, but, for reals, don't apologize, you technically didn't do anything." Nichelle said.
"I'm sorry, too, eh." Ezekiel spoke.
"It's okay, Zeke." Bridgette said. "You genuinely didn't know."
"While we're at it, we're sorry, too, Cody." Courtney admits.
"You are?" Cody inquired.
"Yeah, we were thinkin' and what you said was true." Anne Maria says.
"And for that, we're gonna give those three hell." Stephanie smirked.
"Lightning's sorry, too." Lightning spoke up.
"You're forgiven, too, mate." Jasmine smiles.
"However, we still can't just let this slide..." Carrie smirks.
"What's up?" Owen inquires.
"Your punishment Cody is that you... have to hang out with us girls." Heather smirks. "You'll fit right in."
"What?" Cody exclaimed. "I'm no female... and I'm not gay either!"
"I don't know, Cody, you are more in touch with your feminine side than most males." Jen states, causing Cody to growl and almost everyone to laugh.
"Isn't he just the sweetest girl-boy ever?" Lindsay said, pinching Cody's cheek. "Would you mind me putting lipstick on you?" Everyone laughs again.
"Lindsay!" Cody exclaims. The girls laugh and even some of the guys couldn't help but chuckle at this.
"You know what, shorty, you're actually pretty funny. Thanks for all the laughs, we should hang out some time." Heather snickers.
"Bye, Cody!" Lindsay waves as most of the girls merge back to their own groups on the beach.
"I'm really sorry, Cody." The group collectively said, before dispersing.
"Well, that's that." Cody grins.
Scott and Duncan immediately begin laughing at his expense. The girls turn to the both of them, looking equally as annoyed. Cody clenches his fist tightly.
"And what the hell y'all bozos laughing at?" Nichelle inquires, while tapping her foot.
"This wimp right here." Duncan guffaws.
"Look at the little wuss!" Scott jeered.
"Boys, shut up and leave Cody alone." Jen glowers at the two.
"No." Scott and Duncan blatantly say before laughing maniacally. Cody narrowed his eyes at them and looked down in shame. Sammy and Zoey quickly take both of Cody's hands into there's.
"Oh, look, he needs the pretty girlies to fight his battles for him." Scott taunted.
"And that diminishes my manhood, how?!" Cody exclaims.
"Just ignore them, Cody, they're assholes. They don't mean shit, you know that." Dawn urged. "Let's just go."
"It's okay, Dawn, really. I want to hear this, I'll humor them." Cody smirks, before turning to them with a serious look.
"Come on, slim, say something funny." Duncan mocked. "You need a bunch of girls to fight your battles?" This was all the fuel and adrenaline Cody needed to stand up to them.
"I'm not afraid of you dickheads." Cody glowered as he said. "As I said before, I really hate the social hierarchy, it's unjust, idiotic, discriminatory and oppressive as all hell. You think you're all better than me and a bunch of individuals lower on the food chain because what, you act phony? We are supposed to be scared of your "superiority"? Fuck that! Everybody should be treated equally regardless of their gender. I happily applaud the women of the world." Cody then flips the bird on them.
"You want to say that again, you little pipsqueak?" Duncan threatened.
"Shut the hell up, you basic bitches!" Cody shouted as he punched them both in the face, shocking most if not everyone who was in sight.
"That's my boy!" Izzy cheered.
"Why you stupid, little puke!" Scott glared, as he rubbed his cheek.
"Let's rumble, geek!" Duncan said as he lunged at Cody, before a fist collided with his jaw, knocking him down. Cody turned to see it was Sierra who did it.
"No one fucks with my Cody." Sierra glared.
"Or my brother in arms." MK added, roundhouse kicking Scott in the face, knocking him down as well. Alejandro couldn't help but smirk to himself, even chuckling at the pitiful display of his comrades, thinking he himself was in a good position.
"Not that that's taken care of, come now, ladies, there's enough of me to go around." Alejandro flexed, trying to use his latin charm on the females.
"Do you seriously think that these, er, lovely ladies here would seriously fall for your masterful manipulative ways?" Cody inquired. Alejandro just stands there and chuckles sinisterly.
"I'm leveraging the assets I have that you don't." Alejandro boasted arrogantly as he prods his index finger into Cody's chest, knocking him down on his butt, though Cody purposely sold the impact by falling on his back instead.
"Whoa!" Some exclaimed.
"Codykins?!" Sierra exclaims. Alejandro eye's widen at this, but he decides to play along.
"Allow me." Alejandro extends his hand out.
"Not so fast, you shittin' eating, cow-fucking cocksucker!" Ashley called out.
"Que?" Alejandro questioned.
"Don't think we forgot about you too, bitch!" Millie smirked as she kicked Alejandro in the groin.
"Ay, dios!" Alejandro groaned as he fell to the ground, clutching his groin.
"Ha, take that, Al!" Cody jeered.
"Yeah, remember when I said that y'all are gonna get what's coming to you and that you'll finally get your well-deserved, well-justified comeuppance?" MK mocked.
"Piss off..." Scott grumbled.
"Well, hate to be the one to say 'I do you so', but, I told you so. You dudes totally had it coming." MK sneered.
"Karma's a bitch isn't it?" Noah quipped.
"Turnabout is fair play." Scarlett smirked.
"Are you okay, Cody?" Crimson asks, offering her hand to him up.
"I'm okay, thank you, Crimson." Cody smiles, taking her hand as she helps him up, she nods.
"Aw, isn't this nice? Cody-Wody is getting along with everyone again!" Sierra gushed.
"Pfft..." Yul scoffs and laughs, Riya walks over and punches him, knocking him out cold.
"Shut up, Yul." Riya glares down, fed up with the boy's antics.
"Hey! I'm not done with you, twerp!" Tyler, Brick and a few girls tackled Duncan and went to town on him.
Cody's looks over at the Latin who was still wincing and writhing in pain, almost feeling bad for the Spaniard, but then he remembered. 'I'll always be better than you...'
Cody kneeled down towards the Latin and couldn't help but smirk. "Karma's a bitch isn't it?" Cody said scornfully.
"You little..." Alejandro glared.
"I'd hate to kick a man when he's down, but..." Cody said solemnly, before literally kicking Alejandro in the stomach, causing him even more pain.
"Don't worry, sugar, you'll be in safe hands from now on." Leshawna said, putting an arm around Cody's shoulder.
"Yeah, those boys won't mess with you or any of the other guys again." Axel said, putting her hand on Cody's other shoulder.
"Thanks, girls, er, ladies." Cody said, his anger slowly dissipating. Julia walks to Cody from behind and wraps her arms around his neck and leans onto him.
"My cousin." Julia says warmly.
"My cousin." Cody chuckles.
"Come on, let's boogie, party on the beach!" Jen shouts.
"Whoo-hoo!" They boys and girls all cheer and begin dancing to some rock music.
