Crazy does not infest, but it does bring it out in others
Dimmsdale Elementary school
A violinist played his instrument for the popular kids sitting at the popular table, most of the children chatted away about the latest hip and expensive thing. Save one, Trixie Tang had a fixated glare at her prime steak and mashed potatoes with sublime butter on top. The popular girl had her fork in a reverse grip while she stabbed her uneaten food; her mind had been occupied with the audacious teenager that dared charge her for an introduction on the bus, much less even announce her arrival onto the bus without the usual fare the old bus driver used to do.
Trixie gritted her teeth in seething anger and stabbed her steak, shattering the plate in the process. That boss driver even had the gall to treat her as an average school kid, Trixie Tang, the most popular elementary school girl of Dimmsdale. The girl's thoughts were then interrupted when a hand was placed on her shoulder, Trixie turned with a heated look and snapped at the offender. "WHAT!" she yelled over at the person sitting by her.
It was Veronica who had a curious look but now taken aback in fright of Trixie's attitude, the lesser but still popular girl Veronica pulled away her hand and made a placating gesture. "Sorry!" She squeaked out, "I was just going to ask-" Veronica tried to explain, only for Trixie to get up and leave.
"I'm fine!" Trixie snapped out as she stormed off with her plate towards the trash cans by the exit, "I am not mad at all!" She bit out irritably while tossing her plate of uneaten food into the waste bin, "Who cares if I didn't get introduced!" Trixie shrieked out as she stormed out the exit doors, slamming them just behind her as left.
Veronica, Tad and Chad looked at each other in confusion, before shrugging to themselves and returned to talking about who wants to host a party.
Not far from the table in the cafeteria, Timmy had just gotten his lunch and was planning on walking over to try and chat with Trixie, but before he could get close enough the popular girl had snapped at the other popular girl and left in an angered filled fit. Timmy sighed to himself and headed over to sit with his friends, he can always try his luck later.
Girls were weird, Timmy supposed, even the popular ones.
School hallway
Trixie made an effort to look calm on the outside after her recent outburst, but on the inside she was seething at the fact of how she was treated. She was Trixie Tang, the most popular girl of Dimmsdale elementary school, what gave that bus driver the right to not treat her like so many have before for her?
Turning at a crossway in the school hallways, Trixie had her fists clenched at her sides as she tried not to look like she was storming through the school. It was at that moment she passed by a boy hall monitor, the kid glanced her way with an authoritative look. "Uh, miss Tang?" The boy spoke up and marched towards her, "hall-"
Trixir stopped in place and grabbed the kid by his hall monitor vest, her eyes had fire of anger in them as she growled at the kid. "TELL ME I'M PRETTY AND POPULAR!" Trixie yelled into the boy's face, causing his features to comically get blown back a bit by the force of Trixie's yelling.
The hall monitor shook his head to get the ringing out of his ears, "Where's your-" he tried to ask with a dizzying tone, before Trixie picked him up over her head and threw him into the lockers. "WHO DOES THAT DRIVER THINK HE IS!" Trixie yelled with twitching eyes, before leaving out of sight; the boy she had thrown laid back on the lockers he had been thrown into. His eyes were dazed as he slipped in and out of consciousness.
As Trixie walked through the hallways to head for the girl's bathroom for the popular kids, she allowed herself a smirk. Surely by now, that pretentious bus driver was beginning to regret not giving her an introduction like so many bus drivers before him; Yes, Trixie can imagine it now, that bus driver will have finally realized his error and would give her the pomp and show of a free introduction she deserves when school is over and everyone boards the bus to go back home.
She let the first day slide with him as the new bus driver, but two days in a row was pushing it.
Meanwhile, at Crazy Ricky's Odd Services office
In the back of the office behind the greeter's countertop, Ricky was on his knee as he rummaged through his minifridge. "Soda…Orange juice…purple stuff…" the teen browsed through the small drinks he had in stock, before standing up abruptly, "Oh crap, I forgot something!" Ricky exclaimed with his hands on his head in disbelief.
From over in the corner in a lawn chair sat Norm with a floating tanning lamp over him, he sat back in a relaxed position with shades on while holding a reflective metallic board to bounce more of the tanning lamps rays on him. The genie placed his board down before lifting his shades up to glance at Ricky, "Mocha Caffeine shakes?" He asked with amusement.
Ricky relaxed his arms back down and turned his head to look over at Norm, "What? Oh…" he paused to look up in thought before looking back at Norm, "Nah." Ricky shook his head negatively, "I was thinking more along the lines of water bottles to accompany the visitor drinks." The teen responded with a thoughtful look.
Norm gave Ricky an eye roll, "Yeah, what visitors?" He asked with a sarcastic look, "Come on, just wish up a mini fridge with an endless supply of mocha shakes!" Norm grinned as he tried to reason with Ricky.
The teenager gave the genie an incredulous look, "What exactly are the limits on using your magic for yourself?" Ricky asked Norm curiously, "Why not poof one into existence for yourself?" He inquired from the genie with a sceptic look.
Norm blinked to himself, and shot a look at Ricky. "Would you believe me if I said it was the principle of the matter for you to wish one up?" He asked the teenager.
The two shared a few seconds of awkward silence looking at each other, before Ricky shut the mini fridge door with his foot and made way for the exit. "The topic of Mocha shakes can be discussed at this weekend's board meeting." The teen remarked as he exited out the building through the front door, the bell that dangled inside dinged when it was hit, "In the meantime, I need to stock up on water bottles." Ricky hollered back before the front door was shut with another ding of the bell.
From Norm's spot on his lawn chair, he listened as Ricky started his Van outside and headed out to run his errands. The genie picked up a 'fairyland times' magazine from the side of his chair, and snapped his fingers to poof a pre-opened mocha shake in a can within his free hand. With a sip from the beverage, Norm placed his mocha shake aside to begin reading the magazine. "Now let's see here….ooh, Blonda to star in a sequel of Wishablanca!" The genie mused to himself as he read his magazine.
Later into the day, At Dimmsdale Elementary School
With the school day soon to be over, a couple of buses waited at the designated bus lane at the curb at the front of the school. Most kids were already getting on their designated bus, one particular bus however had not arrived yet.
Timmy looked around as he stood amongst his friends, wondering where Trixie was. He hadn't seen her since lunch after her outburst, the godchild was beginning to wonder what was up with her. Timmy's question was soon answered when from out of the front doors of the school Trixie Tang walked, and not just that, she even had a few butlers rolling out a red carpet as she gracefully walked out towards the group of kids waiting for their bus to arrive.
Everyone including Timmy parted when the carpet reached them, Trixie seemed to be better now by what he's seeing. The most popular girl of the school lapped up the attention everyone gave her as she stood at the curb for the bus, she even smiled and gave the other popular kids a wave of acknowledgement when they were allowed to wait with her
Everyone's attention was soon halted from Trixie and began looking around in curiosity when they heard an explosion go off, "Up there!" A random kid shouted while pointing up in the sky, prompting everyone to look up before scattering off away from the curb with shouts of shock, surprise, and a few words of cool.
Falling out of the air somehow from somewhere, their bus ride came careening down and landed with a loud boom. The kids waved their hands in front of their faces to rid the dust and dirt that was kicked up from the landing, and as the dust settled the bus's folding doorway opened up with a grinning Ricky. "And he makes a perfect landing, what a way to bring the gold!" The teenager chuckled at himself.
Most of the kids excitedly got on the bus, seeing the stunt as another quirky aspect of their new bus driver. As the children trickled in, Trixie unfortunately got knocked off her feet from everyone getting out of the way of the falling bus. The girl stood up and brushed her skirt off of any dirt, and glowered at the lost attention; she would wait and be sure to be the last one to get on in her next attempt to get the attention and introduction she should have gotten for her arrival onto the bus.
Meanwhile Inside the bus, Ricky had his clipboard in hand to check off the kids he needed to drop off. He glanced up at his rearview mirror when he saw he was missing a kid, "Hey, kids, anyone know where Miss Tang is?" Ricky hollered over his shoulder, before noticing an impatient waiting Trixie outside the bus doors. The girl had her arms crossed while tapping her foot as she gave Ricky an expectant look, "Aren't you forgetting something bus driver?" The girl asked the teenager.
Ricky blinked a few times, before snapping his fingers. "Oh!" He exclaimed in realization.
Trixie, closed her eyes with a satisfied look on her face, and waited for the bus driver to finally give her the introduction she was supposed to get.
The teenager rummaged through something on the left side, Trixie fully assumed it would be a microphone to announce her presence onto the bus.
"Parched?" Ricky asked cheekily with the sound of him shaking an unopened bottle of water towards her, Trixie's eyes opened in dumbstruck shock and incredulity. One of her eyes began to twitch as her mind tried to reel back from the absurd teenager's attitude towards her, Trixie didn't even register the water bottle that was thrown at her head and bounced off to land onto the pavement.
"Sheesh, you really oughta work on your catching skills if you ever wanna make it into the women's baseball big leagues." Ricky tutted at her, Trixie's mind felt like it had gone catatonic at the treatment she was getting. "Hey." The teen was now in front of her waving his hand in front of her eyes, "You getting on, or is your dad picking you up?" Ricky asked Trixie as he bent down to look at her at eye level.
Trixie snapped and grabbed at Ricky's ears, "Listen here you, I will get on that bus, and you will-" the girl began to rant at the bus driver, only for her to be picked up at the waist by the bus driver.
"Great! Then let's get going!" Ricky announced excitedly as he carried Trixie over his head and into his bus, whistling a jaunty tune while doing so.
"Put me down and introdu-" Trixie yelled as she scrambled within Ricky's grip, only to scream as she was thrown into an available seat with Veronica. Trixie's eyes spun around as she had landed on the seat upside down, her mind desperately trying to grasp what just happened.
"Alright, let's get this baby going!" Ricky announced as he started up the bus's diesel engine, earning excited shouts from the kids for more speedy hilly rides.
Veronica smiled happily down at Trixie, "Like oh my gosh, you'll never believe what happened during my class-" the less popular girl began to regale her day with Trixie, who in the meanwhile made a seething look while fixing herself to sit upright on her seat. The most popular girl in school tuned Veronica out, her mind trying to put together how to get the bus driver to give her the bus arrival introduction she wants.
She would get her intro on the bus, mark her words!
AN; Dun dun dun!
