Chapter 12:

Once The Sharks were alone in the library, Giggles glared at her twin and friend.

Giggles: That was too harsh! You both were too mean!

Iceberg: You're right...we should've been violent too.

Boulder pointed and nodded in approval.

Giggles grunted.

~~~~~~

The Boys furiously entered Lawrence's black Jeep on the school's parking lot.

Except Kyle. He leaned on one of the back doors, pressing his forehead against the window, groaning.

Some lingering people looked at him weirdly.

Matthew was already seated in the passenger side. Arms crossed over his chest, looking ahead unbothered.

Lawrence tightened his grip on the steering wheel, knuckles slowly turning white. He suddenly slammed a hand on it, then agitated, got out and started pacing angrily while talking to himself.

Lawrence: WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!? CHALLENGING ME!? ME!? (Scoffs) SHE ACTUALLY THINKS SHE'S DIFFERENT. OHOHOHO, JUST YOU WAIT. I'LL SHOW YOU. (Kicks front tire)

Kyle: (mutters) What do I have to do to get your attention. (Caresses window)

Matthew stares at his friends.

He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.

Matthew: They lost it.

Matthew: (Shouts) You both look insane!

He grunts and opens his side door. Stepping out and pointing to his friends.

Matthew: (Points at Lawrence) Stop talking to yourself. And you. (Points at Kyle) Stop touching that. It's a car window not a pet.

Kyle pouts. His cheek pressed up against the glass.

Matthew can't believe what he's witnessing. His friends are actually stressing over some pathetic 'girls'. They're not even on their level, nor fit their standards. Yet they've showed such hostility and control against them so easily.

Never have females...reject them.

Matthew: Both of you just relax. Ren, you can get any girl you want. And Kyle...well...I'm certain she's got your attention...These are no match for you guys. Although the one's from our school are at least more decent...

Lawrence: (Takes deep breath) You're right. (Chuckles) All women are the same...they all fall...just takes time...and a little push.

Kyle: ...yeah...she'll want me...

Matthew: Can we go now? I'm dying to leave.

NEXT DAY

The Sharks arrived and quickly placed their bycicles on the rack in the parking lot. Securing them as always with chains and a lock.

They made their way towards their first class.

Boulder and Iceberg talked casually while Giggles looked gloomy.

Iceberg: (Exhales happily) I think today's gonna be a good day.

Boulder: Probably!

Giggles: (Frowns) You two should apologize!

Boulder: No f*cking way!

Giggles crosses her arms and comes to a halt inside of the classroom.

Boulder sighs and looks at her.

Boulder: We didn't do anything.

Iceberg stops and listens to their exchange.

Giggles: You kicked them out when all they wanted to do was talk to us.

Boulder: They started talking sh*t about our school.

Giggles: Then just respectfully answer back. There wasn't a need to yell at them.

Boulder: I wasn't trying to yell, my voice is just naturally loud!

Giggles: Then you have to control it!

Iceberg holds her hands up.

Iceberg: Okay okay. I accept I was harsh. I'll stop. But I won't apologize.

Boulder sighs.

Boulder: ...same...

Giggles nods.

Giggles: Okay. Remember; they tried helping us at the cafeteria yesterday. Their not THAT bad.

They continued the walk towards their seats.

First period flew by.

Now, it's time to part ways.

Iceberg: (Stands up) Well...time to go.

While Iceberg hauls her backpack onto her shoulder, Boulder groans.

Iceberg: Boulder, relax. All we gotta do is ignore them. That's easy.

Boulder: For you. I just wanna kick his ass. Icebeeeeeerrgggg (Screech)

Iceberg: I know, I know. (Pats shoulder) But trust me, ignoring works all the time. They get tired and leave.

Giggles: Guys...

Iceberg and Boulder looked at Giggles whom was staring ahead. Confused, they turned to see what it was that caught her attention.

It was Lawrence.

He was leaning on the classroom's doorway, watching them from a far.

Iceberg: (Mutters) What's he doing here.

Suddenly, a smirk took over his face.

Lawrence: Let's go! We don't wanna be late Iceberg!

Iceberg looked at him as if he turned crazy.

Boulder: How does he know your name??

Iceberg shrugged in thought.

Giggles: (Smiles) You better get going!~

The twin turned and left through the other door. Lawrence waved goodbye at the two remaining and went after her.

Boulder jumped as Giggles squeals.

Giggles: Oh my God!!!!! I ship 'em!!!

Boulder: Why?

Giggles: Because Boulder, (Smiles softly) It's the first time someone pays attention to her...

Boulder: ...true but...(Sighs) he's a player.

Giggles: People can change...they just have to meet the ones worth changing for.

Boulder smiled at her.

Giggles: Well!! Gotta go!! See ya!!

Boulder frowns.

Boulder: Don't leave mehhh!!

And then she was left alone.

~~~~~~

Second period was over.

The Sharks third period was 'Study hall'.

They usually meet up by Giggles's locker since she's the slowest of the three.

But surprisingly, she's the first one there.

Giggles leaned against her locker in wait.

She widened her eyes at seeing Iceberg approach her with hair covered in spitballs. Even some hanging on her leather jacket and shiny spots of saliva around a side of her face.

Iceberg's eyebrow rose when she saw her twin's mouth covered in duck tape.

Iceberg: Why...

Giggles: (Mutters) I could ask you the same question.

Then at that moment, Boulder appeared. Somehow, her forehead was written on with a black marker. It read "Kyle's"

Iceberg clamped a hand over her mouth to try and stiffle her laughter.

Boulder: (Points forehead) Do you see this bullsh*t?

The twins nod their heads.

Boulder: Now you know why I wanna KICK HIS ASS. (Notices) What happened to you two??

Iceberg: Long story.

Boulder: Tell mehhh

Giggles: (Mutters) Share!

Iceberg: You guys first.

Boulder: No you!

Iceberg looks at her twin.

Iceberg: Why haven't you taken that off?

Giggles: (Mutters) It has a knot.

She turns around and shows them.

Iceberg: ...well dang.

Boulder: Spill it!!!

Iceberg: Fine. But you're next.

Boulder nods.

Iceberg: (Sighs) Okay. (Rubs neck) So it all started when I left the classroom...
