Sorry for my bad English.
The news about the new girl traveled fast. The infamous group of the Eds really made a new friend, and is a very cute girl.
Erika was pretty enough to make some boys take their gaze away from their path to give a look on her pink eyes. Almost every one of Ed's classmates not believe at first, only after witness the girl walking side by side with them.
But who was most affected by the presence of the new girl was not only the Eds, but Nazz as well.
The classes were about to start and Nazz was taking her books out of her locker. At this point, Kevin or some of her other male friends should have appear to help her carry all her books to her next class.
She notices Kevin coming and was about to call him, but notice the new girl by his side. She just shrugged.
-Kevin! –She called him but he was too busy talking to Erika to notice. –Kevin! –She call again but no answer. –Kevin! Ke-eeh!
After being overwhelmed by the weight of her books, Nazz kissed the floor, but take one last peak of the girl who was responsible for her be ignored.
-I'm just saying that you could be with someone who really is worthy of you time instead of those dorks. –Kevin said to Erika.
He has caught with her on the entrance of the school and said that wanted to talk to her. All the time from the entrance to the classroom Kevin tried to convince Erika to drop her friendship with the Eds.
-They aren't that bad.
-I'm telling this to your own good. If everyone see you hanging out with those dorks, everyone will start to avoid you!
-So will not be so different from the last time. –Was all Erika said before went to her seat on the classroom.
Kevin thought for a moment about Erika's words, but was interrupted by Ed passing over him to enter in the classroom. Kevin was like a pancake on the floor with the marks of Ed's shoes in his back. Followed by Double D who not notice and finally Eddy.
Kevin raise the head to shout at the Eds when Johnny stomp in his head when he enter in the classroom.
Gym Class
Gymnasyum
Nazz got ready to a two-vs-two match of badminton. She had Sarah as her partner in the game so she was confident of her victory. On the other side was Lee Kanker and with her the new girl. She felt pity for Erika for have Lee as a partner in the game but would show no mercy in the match. A whistle was blow and the game began with the blonde girl starting the first move.
Once the shuttlecok was in midair, Erika quickly jump off the floor and hit her target, sending it direct against Sarah's face, who hit the floor after the blow. The little girl stood dizzy on the floor while Nazz frowned a little.
-Sorry! -Erika said while Lee start to laugh.
Nazz threw againt the shuttlecock and again Erika jump and hit the little thing on Sarah's face. The little girl fumed and hit back the shuttlecock only for Erika intercept and hit back the feathered object. For the third time, the shuttlecock hit Sarah at her face and sending her back on the floor.
-I starting to like this game. -Lee said as she got hold of the shuttleclock and hit into Nazz. The blonde screamed before the little object hit her pretty face and send her flying to the wall. -Point! -Lee screamed.
Nazz was dizzy but could tell see that Lee actually was enjoying the game, something she never did with Nazz as her partner or coach assistant. She watches as Lee and Erika start to sword fight with their rackets. The rest of the game would be very painful.
Lunch time
Cafeteria
Jimmy walked around the buffet looking for something easy to swallow. After the gym class, Sarah had to use a cast around her neck, perhaps a pudim would be enough for her.
In another table, Nazz was eating a sandwich with her left arm since her right is covered in a cast, play badminton with both Lee and Erika was more a surviving game for her. The worst is she would have to carry her books herself since her friends are missing. She did not saw Johnny, Kevin and even Plank. The Eds would be with Erika, of course.
She finally heard the voice of her friend with big head and is shocked when turn around to see Johnny holding Plank and walking by Erika's side.
-Me and Plank have been friends since I can remember. -He said to Erika. -What is buddy? -He ask to his wood plank friend. -You shouldn't say that about her country Plank. Don't be mad at Plank, sometimes he just don't know what he saying.
-O-okay? -Erika said. She already witnessed a lot of strange thing since she arrived in Peach Creek, but a boy with a wood plank friend? She didn't know what to think. -I see you and your... friend later.
-Bye Erika! Did you see that buddy? -Johnny ask and frown at his friend's words. -What do you mean by Wilfred would have better chances?
Johnny asked as he with Plan went to grab some food. Nazz lost the interes in him and watches Erika sit down in a table, not so long after that, Kevin sit in front of her.
-First Johnny and Plank, and now Kevin? -Nazz asked, talking to herself. -What she is thinking?
With Erika, she tried to ignore the boy in front of her.
-I'm saying this for your own good! -Kevin insisted. -Walk with those dorks and your social life here will be over.
-It is not even began yet.
-I'm trying to help you. I don't know how the schools in your country works, but here whoever you are walking with can have a huge influence in your reputation.
-It is like that in Brazil too. And I never cared about this anyway. And if you done, I would want to eat my lunch in peace.
Seeing that she would ignore anything he would say, Keving growled and left the table. Erika would not eat her lunch in peace after the Eds appeared.
-It was Kevin just now? -Double D asked and Erika merely nodded.
-What did shovel chin wanted anyway? -Eddy asked.
-N-nothing.
Erika keep silent for the rest of the lunch, making even Ed confused.
After the class
Corridors
They may not have appear to her on the morning, not even between the classes, but she was sure that Kevin or someone else would appear to carry her books for her. She was waiting in front of the door of her last class, carrying her books and her feets were almost succumbing to the weight, but she knew if wait a little more, someone would appear.
To her shock, the one who normally carry her books for her was helping someone else. Kevin was carrying half of Erika's books while the black haired girl carried the other half of the books.
-And why are you doing this again? -Erika asked to Kevin.
-Just because you are walking with those dorks, doesn't mean you have to be only with them all the time.
-I'm talking about the books. Y'know I could carry all them myself, right?
-What kind of guy I would be if let a pretty girl handle this weight all by herself?
Before Erika could give an answer, Eddy appeared offering to something for them. While they start to argue with each other with Erika feeling a bit awkward for be between two guys fighting, Nazz start to feel something strange on her stomach.
First she become friends with the Eds, then join force with Lee Kanker to send her to the infirmary, work together with Rolf on their English Class, make friends with Johnny and Plank, shared her chocolate bars with some of her classmates, receive some flirtation from some of her male classmates(Erika did not understood well), was invited to be part of her cheerleaders group and now she got all the attention Kevin normally give to her.
Thinking in everything Erika did made Nazz feel a cold in her stomach. She was jealous? Why she would?
End of the chapter.
A new queen bee appeared and while the old quee still is around and she will engage in a battle until only one queen remains. Something I learn from The Big Bang Theory.
I remember sometimes on television where a pretty girl appear while another pretty one is around and the later become a little jealous or start some problem because of the new girl. I think it would be funny if Nazz start to feel threatened by another pretty and I think it is a idea what hold some potential if I use it correctly.
Next chapter I will use something from the original cartoon and put Erika on the middle.
That's all folks. See you next time.
