Flippy sighed as he punched in the three number combination on his digital locker.The lock clicked,and the door swung open.Honestly,digital lockers were easier than dial lockers.He grabbed his Math notebook,turning around as footsteps sounded behind him.
Flaky walked towards him,her arms crossed with a gaurded expression on her face.Loyal Mime walked swifty behind her,trying desperately,but unsuccessfully,to make the pouting red-head smile.Mime sighed as they finally stopped beside Flippy's locker.
"Whats wrong with you?"Flippy asked,blinking at Flaky."Who crapped in your cereal this morning?"She let out a short huff,and Mime frowned.
"Popular girls 'gain."He answered for her,seeming pretty proud of himself.Flaky used all her strength to unclench her fists.
"Jealousy much?"She asked scathingly."Getting all mad just because I,the most known loser is all buddy buddy with the most popular guy in school,you."She growled madly,while Mime pointed at Flippy.He tugged at his camo Army jacket,and nodded."To be honest,it's really annoying."
He sighed,and pulled one of his dogtag necklaces over his head.He slipped it over Flaky's head,and stepped back,smiling."Better?"He asked,while Mime gave him a thumbs-up."Not really."Flaky grumbled.
Flippy made a sly grin,and wrapped his arms around her in a hug."Then I'll laugh the mad outta you!"He yelled,tickling her sides."STOP IT!"Flaky cried,giggling."Eeeepp!"He grinned."Come on,lets go to class."
Mime made a face."I wanted to skip!"He conplained as he followed them to class.
*Later*
Flaky grabbed her books out of her locker,walking to class,after slaming the door shut.She let out a loud yelp as she tripped falling,straight into Giggles.
"Watch it,bit**!"Giggles yelled as they hit the floor.Flaky grabbed her knee,which,along woth her now bent nose,was bleeding.
Giggles stood up,talking rapidly to Lammy.Handy,surprisingly,reached down and helped her up.She stood,with his help."Thank you."She said,her voice hoarse.
She ran outside,tears rolling down her cheeks.She dropped her books,and sat in her truck,fummbling with the keys.Her shaking hands missed the key-hole several times.She was trembling uncontrollably.
She gasped as she heard her door click open,relaxing a bit when Flippy slid across the seat to her side.He pulled her shaking torso into his arms,craddling her.She pressed her face into his chest,sobbing,salty tears and blood covering his shirt.
He rubbed her back gently,and placed his head atop of hers as she cried rigidly against him.He slipped his hand onto hers,and held it firmly.Her hand clenched in his,and he pulled her closer.
Each time her sobs reached his ears,he broke down inside.He wanted so badly to make her pain stop."Shhhh,Shhhhh."He said soothingly."It's ok."He mummered gently."Fl....Fli...Flippy."She sobbed uncontrollably."Da**it!"She cursed,leaning against him."I'm such a wimp."He held her tightly,pressing against her.
"No,your not."He pushed her back by her shoulders gently,looking her in the eyes."You....your the most daredevilish person here,you have a way to find a light into everything.Your strong enough tp take the crap my so-called friends give you,strong enough to stay with me,even when I've "Flipped out".You voice keeps me sane,your smile makes me warm inside."
He smiled at her tears welling up in his eyes as well."I'm pathetic."She aruged,shaking her head."No,your not.Your the one that I....."He looked her deep in the eyes,understanding and deep emotion welling in them both.Her hands were pressed against his chest,as he leaned forward.Wrapping his arms around her,he pressed his lips softly against hers.They broke apart,and Flaky snuggled against him.Contentment and happiness seared through both of them,and just before they both fell asleep,Flippy whospered,"I love you."
