Chapter 10:

Boulder snickered as she gestured Iceberg to follow her.

As they opened the double doors, they stood and watched. Iceberg turned in disgust as Boulder laughed.

The Principal was vomiting.

Iceberg: Gross....

Boulder: (laughing) I know!

Lawrence approaches from behind, watching from above their heads.

He chuckles.

Lawrence: What a weakling.

He then took a step back, now interested in the view in front of him, of someone's behind.

Iceberg scanned the whole lunch room.

Iceberg: Where's Giggles?

Boulder: (shrugs) I don't know. I thought she was with you.

Iceberg looked at her friend scornfully.

Iceberg: Woman you are covered in food.

Boulder: It was war in there.

Iceberg: And you just HAD to participate.

Boulder: Yes, yes I did.

Soon, something caught their eye. They looked back in the lunch room and saw Giggles...running straight towards them.

With a wide smile.

Giggles: GIRLS!!!

Iceberg waved happily until she noticed.

Giggles wasn't stopping.

Boulder turned confused while Iceberg's eyes went wide. Just when she was about to step aside, her twin dashed between them. She grabbed both her girl's wrists and pulled them.

Iceberg almost toppled over. Boulder was able to regain herself quickly.

Lawrence watched surprised.

Iceberg: Dang it! Our backpacks!

Boulder: We'll get 'em later!!

Giggles continued pulling her friends down the hallway. Both were going to signal her to stop as they saw the image of a chasing Matthew coming out of the lunch room and quickly heading their direction.

Iceberg and Boulder were gonna deal with him, wondering what was his problem, until a teacher called out from the cafeteria.

They bolted.

Now Giggles was the one being pulled.

They ran towards the girl's locker room.

*********

The rest of class went by smoothly.

The Sharks rejoiced at not having seen the boys anywhere.

Classes were over for today, so they made their way to the library.

Once entered, they settled their backpacks on the floor and waited.

Giggles paced around.

Iceberg took a seat near one of the study tables.

Boulder laid on the carpeted floor.

Iceberg: Wait...are they supposed to bring the merchandize here or are we supposed to get it?

Boulder shrugged.

They looked at Giggles.

Giggles: ...she did say something about 'unloading'...

Iceberg: Good. Then she'll 'unload it' herself.

Boulder: Are we the only ones helping?

Giggles: It would seem so...

Boulder: That B*TCH.

Iceberg: I prefer it this way.

The double doors opened.

A cheery girl holding a box came in.

Penny: You're all here!!

Iceberg: Sadly.

Penny: I like your enthusiasm Iceberg!

The Sharks took a moment...and looked at each other. The same reaction on their faces.

'Is she serious?'

Penny: Alright! Now follow me! The groups left their collected merchandize in these boxes and left them out in the hallway.

The Sharks followed Penny. They spotted the many carton boxes laying across the corridor.

Giggles: WHOA!!

Penny: (laughs) I know right! Everyone donated!

Each grabbed as many boxes they could carry and headed back to the library.

Penny: Oh wait!!

Penny dropped the box she carried and ran down the hallway.

The Sharks waited.

Giggles: Where did she go?...

Iceberg: Did she just ditch us?

Boulder: She better come back.

Iceberg: Let's leave these in the library.

Giggles and Boulder nodded.

As they reached and placed the boxes on the tables, the double doors opened.

In came boys, by the looks of it, all jocks. They were carrying the carton boxes. Penny held open the door.

Penny: I got help!

They kept coming and going. Many had already smiled at Giggles. She smiled back.

Giggles: Well aren't they nice!

Boulder: Yeah.

Iceberg: Sure...

Once all the boxes were settled, the jocks waved goodbye.

Giggles returned the gesture. Iceberg gave a 'peace'. Boulder nodded.

Penny approached them.

Penny: Wasn't that nice? I'm so glad. Well now I gotta go!

Iceberg: Excuse me?

As Penny turned around, Boulder blocked her path.

Penny: (laughs nervously) I have a...reunion...

Giggles: Of?

Penny: The presidents of each group...

Giggles: You're coming back right? (Smiles)

Penny: Well I don't-

Giggles: Riiiight? (Smiles)

Penny is visually trembling as she receives a glare from Boulder and a wide smile from Giggles.

Iceberg crosses her arms.

Iceberg: Let her leave. It's the only way this sale will actually succeed.

Giggles placed a hand on her hip.

Penny coward as Boulder didn't move. She shouted a 'thank you' as she went around Boulder and fled.

Giggles: You're right Iceberg. It'll be funner just the three of us!

Iceberg: Ugh...still more work...

Boulder: Let's just get started.

Iceberg: Yeah...the quicker we start the sooner we'll finish.

Boulder and Iceberg had a real hard time placing and organizing the items, specially since Giggles wanted them in a certain way.

After some arguments, few laughs and lazy grunts, everything was set to sell.

Now, they stood behind one of the tables that was chosen to be the payment zone.

They talked and waited.

And waited.

And waited...

Waited....

Boulder: WHERE THE H*LL IS EVERYONE!!!

Iceberg: Do people even know there's a sale?

Giggles began to think.

Giggles: I have no idea...Penny didn't say anything. Students should know...she did ask for donations...

Boulder: When do we leave?

Iceberg: At 6.

Boulder: F*ck my liiiife.

Iceberg: Woman chill. (Looks at watch) it's 4:30.

Boulder: F*CKING SH*T!!!

The double doors opened.

The Sharks internally grunted.

A group of students came in from the prestigious neighboring school. They wore their dark red wine colored uniform jackets, with matching ties. Boys with gray pants while the girls, skirts.

One of the girls held between her fingers a paper.

She smiled her cherry red lips.

Girl: Hello.

Iceberg nor Boulder had no interest in responding. The duty was thrusted upon Giggles.

Giggles: (smiles) Hello. Have you come to look around?

The girl approached their table and showed a hand-made flyer.

Girl: No. (Wide smile) We came searching for the stupid person who made these and hung them on our school.
