Chapter 13: Blue Gets Sick

Hi-d-ho! I did say I was almost done with this chapter, right? It's not quite as...lively as most, but I enjoyed writing it. I hope you enjoy reading it.


Blue Gets Sick


“Achoo!” Blue shouted loudly. Malik smiled at her and rolled his eyes.

“Sneeze like that too much and karma's going to get annoyed and make you get sick for real,” he warned, and she shook her head.

“Who's Carmen?” she asked, tilting her head in curiosity. Malik just smiled and shook his head at her.

“Never mind,” he replied, as she grinned at him.

“Soooo Malik,” she said, grabbing her boyfriend's hands, “what are we doing tonight?” Malik turned a funny bit of red, so Blue gasped, “You look like you're sick now! Oh no! I made you sick with my words!”

Malik smiled at Blue, then leaned forward and kissed her lips lightly. “Let's just watch the movie.”

Blue nodded and moved over to sit right next to Malik, mumbling to him, “You better not have just gotten me sick,” as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Kip had given the room for a night, since they frequently repaid the favor and let he and Rashida have nights in the room to themselves. They snuggled in to watch the movie, but then Blue got tired and fell asleep instead.

When she woke the world was a blur...





Ummm...What's going on? Is anyone going to pick this story up? I get it, I guess. The story is dependent on Blue's continual consciousness. The writer is somehow unable to handle third person while she's unconscious for as long as she will be. Then I guess I'll take over. My name is Teddy Albrecht. You probably know me as Teddy Albrecht from this story. See, as a genius, I am able to tell that this story is a story. I'm also aware on some level that I am a fictional character, but I try not to let it get me down. I guess I'll take it from here! Where were we?

Right, so when Blue woke up, it was as she feared! She was totally and repugnantly sick. Malik called me over to his room, worried, and I helped him get Blue back to her bed. Her face was red, her forehead was hot...In my expert opinion, she had a fever. I informed Alec Potts, my arch-nemesis (sorry, did you not get that yet? Well he's my nemesis) about it, promised my super best friend Malik Blue would be fine, and went to bed. The next day was a Friday, so I had to promise Malik I would watch over Blue while he was in class.

As I sat in her room, watching Alec Potts secretly to try to understand some of his secrets, I made a brilliant discovery!

“How are you feeling Blue?” I asked, not expecting much of an answer.

“Just fine,” she replied, “well...sick of course.” Now this wasn't the usual “crazy girl” tone of voice I'd come to expect from her. Dare I say it she sounded normal. At this point I wasn't really sure how to utilize this new discovery, but I was sure I would figure something out. In the mean time, I shelled out some ibuprofen for her to keep her fever down, which she took with a glass of water, like any sane sick person might. I figured I didn't really need to watch her every moment, so I brought along my laptop to do fun things with. I didn't really have much stuff to do though, so I mostly tried to think of things to ask Blue while she was, let's say, lucid.

“Sooo Blue,” I said to her, making a cute face (all my faces are cute). “How do you like the school so far?”

“It's all right,” she shrugged, “I mean I love you and Malik, and most of the people around here are pretty cool. It's still kind of scary though.” Teddy nodded, and Blue smiled at the air with her eyes still closed. “You guys make me feel better about it though.”

“Hmmm...How did you know about Steel being an assassin? It took me at least a week to figure it out,” I asked then. Yeah, yeah, I knew he was an assassin. But I was lonely and a bit lusty and he was a decent enough companion. His name should have been a dead giveaway, I know, but...Well, it's not his real name, either. His first name is Steel, but his last name is something like Rocque, which could have been intimidating like “Kilmeistah” but I guess he liked his made up name better. Yes, I do know everything by the way. Don't test me.

“I just had a hunch I guess,” Blue replied. “When I think about it, I don't know why. Sometimes I just get these ideas in my head and I can't get them out.”

“Well I guess that one just happened to be spot on,” I stated, then glanced to Alec Potts. Alec Potts and I didn't get along....Well, that was a lie. We were always perfectly...civil. He was also pretty helpful in a bind, like a couple weeks back when he helped me hack some websites. At his core, I guess he might be a decent guy. There's a lot about him that you don't know, though, and I'm not at liberty to disclose it. I spent a while after that trying to think of questions to ask Blue, and I asked them until Malik returned to the room. Shortly after Malik showed up, so did another young man I had come to know very well. He goes by Pablo Martinez, and he identifies himself as Asian (he is Korean by my analysis), even though he's also part Hispanic. In his defense, he probably doesn't realize he's both, since he was, in fact, abandoned as a baby. Don't question my knowledge. By the way, Malik was correct a while back when he said he was a “pharaoh” if by that he meant Egyptian as I suspect he did. Blue is Israeli, I guess, but Israel didn't exist yet when her grandparents lived there. She can think whatever she wants, but she is definitely at least partially Middle Eastern and probably a bit Eastern European. And this has been my lesson in racial appearances, since I have studied them and I am an expert...I have a lot of free time.

In any caseee, Pablo ran into the room like a stampede. Like, I mean, I jumped pretty bad. It was scary. “I heard you were sick, Blueberry!” apparently, he'd started calling her Blueberry. I don't know why. Sounded weird to me.

“It's fine,” Blue replied, “I'm going to be fine. It's just the flu.”

“Oh, all right,” Pablo replied, as both Malik and he shot me strange looks.

“She's basically a regular person right now,” I explained, smiling at them, “and I am totes out now. See ya'll laters.”

“OK,” Blue agreed. She was sweet, letting me go. I waved bye and left the room, pondering what to do for the rest of the day. Though talking to Blue was vastly interesting, I was bored, and nerd as I was, I wanted to go do some other stuff. My hobbies, by the by, include violent video games, watching horror movies, bedazzling, reading up on things, looking at pictures of attractive men, trolling the Internets (only outrageously stupid things, mind you, so everyone knows I'm atrolling like telling people I'm going to marry my favorite characters and listing all our children), listening to good music, making faces in the mirror, practicing various talents, and napping. Which of these did I pick? None of them! Ha trick question! Hammy, our lovable teacher, was wandering around the dorms with his big blues eyes looking like a lost puppy, so I naturally decided to talk to him.

“Hey what up hamdog?” I asked. It was pretty brilliant, calling him “hamdog,” in my humble (OK, humble probably isn't the right word) opinion.

“I...I don't know. I was just wandering,” he replied, and I was perplexed. Why wander the dorms of our school? I asked myself.

I then posed the question, “Why wander the dorms of our school?”

He shrugged then replied, “When I was in college I always wished I would have gone to this school. I've never been in the dorms so I was curious what they were like. I'm not just a creeper or anything...”

“Oh...Well I'm bored. Sorry I missed class, Blue is sick and Malik is paranoid,” I explained to him, then smiled at him. I smiled a lot, you see. Cause Hammy is a cutie, and I can say that cause I'm a cutie too...or I used to be, before I hit my growth spurt. When Blue showed up I was about 5'6” and by this point I had surpassed 5'9” and I officially hated it (and was still growing). Growing just took away my ability to be cute. See, Hammy could be cute as long as he wanted (though I don't think he tried, with that fashion sense of his) because he stopped growing around 5'6” and therefore was just barely in the cute height range for males. Well I talk a lot about random stuff, huh?

“Oh is she?” he asked, and I nodded. “That's too bad. She should go see the nurse.”

“Not much the nurse can do. She has the flu. She's remarkably normal when she's sick, by the way,” I informed him, and he smiled.

“Odd,” he replied. “Sooo I should be going now...”

“Wait I'm super crazy bored. Wanna get some coffee?” I asked, and he shrugged.

“Sure,” he replied, “Reg has the afternoon off. Mind if he meets us there?”

“Of course not,” I replied and smiled again. Hammy, Reg and I got coffee together every so often. As we walked out to Hammy's car, I pondered his nickname. It wasn't a very good nickname, Hammy, but I didn't know what else to do with his name “Hamilton Paddington.” If I was correct his middle name was “Ezekiel” which also didn't really help the regular name goal. I considered calling him “EZ” (like “easy”) then giggled to myself.

Hammy glanced at me with a confused look and asked, “What?”

“Do you like your nickname?” I asked, and he shook his head immediately.

“Not at all,” he replied. I figured he didn't like it, cause I'm smart. “I can't help but feel there's some kind of dirty joke in it that I don't understand.” I nodded as he continued, “I think Today gave it to me a few years back. I hate that it stuck.”

“Ah,” I replied as we got into his car. We spent the journey to the coffee shop discussing alternative nicknames for him, but we didn't come up with anything conclusive.

Reg was waiting for us at the coffee shop and he greeted Hammy with a light kiss. And yeah yeah, I was like a creepy third wheel, our relationship was totally inappropriate for a teacher and a student, we were crossing a boundary blah blah blah. The truth is, Hammy and I were pretty close. He admittedly used me to help make up for some of the guilt he had from abandoning his siblings. So basically we were brothers, I depended on him to help me out with my issues.

I looked at Reg as I sipped my coffee, who counterbalanced Hammy pretty well. Where Hammy was short and cute and smart, Reg was tall and fairly masculine if not a bit dumb. I talked to both of them for a while, about life and everything, and eventually Hammy drove me back to the school and I walked back to Blue's room.

Malik was sitting on Blue's floor, making funny faces at his laptop, so I slid next to him and glared over to Alec Potts.


Alec Potts glared back, and Alec Potts would like Theodore Albrecht to stop acting like he is the king of this story and the only one able to hack into the writing of it.



And and! Gerda Bbjornstrand wants everyone to know kittens are pretty cute. At first I didn't know what to do with it, but we have become close friends. My new kitten helps me to do whatever I want.


...Give me the story back please...OK, Teddy here again. Alec and apparently Gerda decided to hijack the story. For future reference, do not get on the bad sides of either of these people. Anyway! Where was I? I sat next to Malik, and he glanced over to me. I think he might have just figured out that I used his computer for some major hacking, so I spoke before he got the chance to.

“What up?” I asked, and he shrugged.

“I feel like I like her best when she's all crazy and stuff,” he mumbled.

“Yeah,” I agreed. We fell silent as I checked up on Blue, who was fast asleep, then asked Malik, “Do you want to go do something? No use sitting here, right?”

“Sure,” Malik replied, standing and shutting his laptop.

“Hey Potts,” I called over to Alec Potts, who sort of glanced at me, “watch over Blue and make her take medicine if she gets any worse please?” He nodded just barely. I was pretty sure he liked Blue, at least a little bit, so I figured he was trustworthy with her.

So Malik and I walked back to my room together and sat on my bed to try to figure out what to do. As much as I loved Blue, I was still a little bitter that she took away valuable Teddy-Malik bonding time. And have no fear, my crush on him ended long before this, I just really enjoyed our friendship. Kendall sat on the bed across from us. Have no fear, I will reveal the mystery! Kendall is a girl. Yep. I couldn't claim to know everything and not know that, could I? We've shared a room for long enough. She's a little sensitive about it, though...Also I haven't told Blue because Blue might tell everyone, and I think Kendall enjoys the mystery despite being sensitive. Don't judge my contradiction. I'm sure it's one of those two...So shhh don't tell anyone.

Back from that distracting little tidbit, Malik and I lay on my bed and pondered what to do. I suddenly got the urge to play with small animals, and Gerda, as I recalled, had a kitten. So I suggested, “Let's find Gerda and ask her if we can take her kitten for a walk.”

“Uh,” he replied, “in my experience kittens aren't really good at going for walks.”

“But...It's Gerda's kitten,” I replied. Apparently he didn't understand, “I'm sure it can walk...”

“...If you say so,” he replied. One look in his eyes told me he still didn't believe me, but I didn't really care. We walked over to Gerda and Hakan's room and knocked, and the door clicked open. We didn't see anyone inside the room, but the kitten I mentioned before stared up at us from the floor.

“Told you,” I mumbled, then leaned down to the kitten. “Would you like to go on a walk with us?” I asked, and I could practically feel the “you're crazy” looks Malik was giving the back of my head. The kitten gave a small meow and began trotting toward the door, but I found myself frowning. “Sorry, do you have a leash?” I noticed a leash hanging from the door of Gerda and Hakan's closet, so I grabbed it and attached it to the kitten's leash. Kitty and I walked out of the room, and Malik just stood behind me dumbfounded.

“Oh, will Gerda be worried?” I asked, and Kitty made a noise something like “no” so I kept walking.

“Oh my GOD!” Malik shouted, as he finally came running after us. “You are part of some sort of crazy conspiracy aren't you? I thought so back home but now...”

“You sound crazy Malik dear,” I replied steadfastly. I was not supposed to tell even Malik about these things. I should definitely quit making Malik suspicious.

“But that kitten is clearly...uh! And it was normal a few weeks ago!” he shouted. I wasn't really sure how to get out of this one.

“What do you think? There's some sort of organization of geniuses who are able to teach animals to do crazy things?” I asked. Hopefully, he would think it sounded crazy. Maybe I should have made it sound even more outlandish.

“Maybe,” Malik replied, but thankfully let it die. “So how has life been since you were nearly assassinated?” OK, he might not have let it die quite as much as I hoped.

“Do you know how scary that was?” I countered, and then he felt bad. As he should.

“Sorry,” he mumbled. “So Pablo is honestly crazy about you. Have you ever taken him seriously?”

I thought that one through pretty carefully. After Steel broke up with me, Pablo did swoop in pretty immediately. He wasn't too pushy after I yelled at him that he was making me feel worse. Then he was pretty sweet to me, and I guess I did actually have fun with him. Much like Blue, he had a penchant for making up song lyrics and dances to go with them. The difference between the two of them was that Pablo was actually good at it (not that Blue wasn't entertaining). He was an excellent rhymer, and obviously an awesome dancer. My favorite song by him was titled “Teddy needs to smile.”

It went as such:

“Teddy needs to smile,

He hasn't in a while,

I think he needs to remember,

Before it becomes December,

That his smile is cute awesome hot,

And I really miss it a whole lot.”

It wasn't perfect, but it was sweet. He was sweet, and I was well aware of that, “He's nice.” Malik grinned at me as we walked outside. I noticed it was getting a little chilly, and Malik turned to make sure I knew he was smiling.

“He'd be good for you,” he said. “He'd be a big difference from Steel. I mean, he talks enough for at least two people.”

“Yeah, probably,” I replied, then glanced down at Kitty. She apparently wanted to chase a beetle that was walking across the ground, so I let loose on her leash a little bit.

“We could double date!” Malik declared loudly.

“Sure, maybe...Oh, how have things been since the whole Kahi incident, by the way?” I asked, and he shrugged.

“Good,” he replied, “I can't believe I'm attracted to such insanity, but good.”

“Hooray!” I cheered as we arrived at a park bench in our nice little “on campus mini-park” AKA the courtyard. Kitty hopped onto the bench next to me, as Malik shot me a little look.

“Why are we stopping?” he asked.

“Break time!” I declared. Malik rolled his eyes but sat on the other side of Kitty. We had this weird unison sigh and then looked at each other and laughed. “You remember my old cat?” I asked, and he nodded.

“Totally,” he said, “I loved putting that little tutu on him. He was beautiful, but he totally hated me. Roscoe, yeah? I still have that scar he gave me.”

“Yeah,” I mumbled. We reminisced for a while after that, and I remembered why I loved my best friend so much,. We sat there on that bench for a while, I leaned against his shoulder the way I used to when we were young, and Kitty chased bugs all around us.

“Um, actually...,” he mumbled as we spoke, “can I admit something?”

“Sure,” I replied, as Kitty jumped to my lap and I petted her.

“I tried for weeks to be gay for you,” he said. It came off a little funny, but it was insanely sweet.

“Thanks,” I laughed, “but what's not meant to be isn't meant to be. And what's not gay just...Isn't gay.”

“Yeah,” Malik agreed. “It's kind of why I understood what Blue was talking about, at least a little bit with her whole bisexuality thing...But, like...If you could somehow marry into my family...I mean, I guess Li Mei isn't your type, really, but...Life without you would be so weird...”

“Oh we'll keep in contact,” I promised with a smile, as someone shouted something at us.

“Stop! ...In the name of lovveee.” It was Pablo, of course, and his words must have reminded him of the song. Pablo's words often did that to him.

I sat up to look at him and counteracted what would have been a sure spiral out of control from him, “Malik is my best straight friend. Our relationship, though it doesn't always seem that way, is totally platonic. Malik's completely faithful to Blue. I'm completely single.”

He stared at us, then finally mumbled, “Oh.” Malik stood from the bench and grabbed Kitty's leash, smiling at me as he went.

“See you later,” he said, “Gerda's probably wondering where her cat is.”

“Bye,” I replied with a wave, as Pablo jumped onto the bench next to me.

“Hey you,” he said. “You sexy thing, you sexy thing...”

“Stop singing,” I ordered, and couldn't hold back a small chuckle. He grinned at me, so I smiled faintly at him.

“So it's been a few weeks,” he stated, “and that's what you wanted, right?”

“That is what I said,” I replied. It was easy to assume what he was talking about. Pablo wasn't too complicated of a thinker, so I usually understood what it was that he was thinking.

“Go out with me?” he asked. There was this funny bit of hope in his eyes that I wanted to crush for only a tiny moment, as I gave him a smile.

“OK,” I agreed. The light in Pablo's eyes filled my heart, and I felt wholly appreciated. It was a good feeling, so I decided to go ahead and go for it. What is it, you ask? I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him toward me, gently and carefully connecting our lips. We kissed for a short moment, and the look on his face when he pulled away only cemented my decision. I had feelings for him, and it was about time I moved on from Steel. This might seem sudden to you, but we've been developing a steady friendship for a while. This story just tends to focus more on Blue, you know? And that's cool, I don't need too much spotlight, though I am loving this bit of attention at the moment. Pablo and I walked back to the dorms after a short while to visit Blue, who we talked to about sane things for quite some time.

It was a couple days later that she got better, but not a lot happened in that time. I would like to say goodbye now, after my lovely time of being in charge of this story. My time has been enjoyed, but I would like to take a break now. Goodbye, peace and love to all.


Blue woke three days after her sudden illness with no memory of what had transpired while she was hardly conscious. When she woke Teddy, Malik, and lots of her friends were there to support her and she felt very extra special. Something seemed different about them, she knew, but she couldn't really place it. Teddy smiled at her, and she felt all happy inside her soul, so she finally figured out what it was that was different in the room.

“I'm glad you're happy again, Teddy,” she said to him, and he grinned at her.

“Yeah, me too.”

Glee

So tonight I did in fact watch Glee. And just cause you're worried doesn't mean you can't enjoy life.

Enjoy.

Glee.
Awesome Scene.

If only Darren Criss were gay (seeing as I'll never have him, what's it to me?) even my mom thinks they would make a cute couple. :)

Disasters

So everybody know what happened in Japan, right? It's absolutely awful. I looked at pictures and I wanted to cry for them. So donate to the Red Cross by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. I plan on doing this momentarilly. I did the same for Haiti. I think it's a really important thing to do to feel like you're helping, if only a tiny bit.

This whole thing brings me to a greater point: the world is a disaster. Has anyone else noticed this? The Middle East/Northern Africa (a lot of Africa) is a mess, Japan just got devastated, and well...Where in the world are things good? Not a lot of places. And I understand other places might consider ways of living acceptable that I just don't get. I wouldn't force my lifestyle on anyone, but...It's times like these I'm reminded that although I don't love or even like many aspects of living in America, I'm incredibly thankful that I live in the United States.

I can't help but to worry about the world, though. All of the things people go through...Unimaginable things...Places like Darfur still exist. And here I am sitting at home, enjoying a night of watching Glee. And I love Glee, I do. But there are certainly more valuable things I could do with my time...

That's what I plan to look into in college. Finding a major where I can do something. I know that I joke around about taking over the world or whatever, but I say it with the best intentions. I worry about the world. I worry about religion and the rights men think religion gives them. I worry about the power-hungry and the manipulative taking advantage of the easily manipulated.

And I don't know what to do.

Chapter 12: Blue is Bisexual?

So I know it's been a while, but...I don't know. I was weighed down with Calculus, let's say. I'm not sure what to say about this chapter. I probably haven't proof read it very well. Not a lot actually happens in it, but there are some developments. You'll see them. Ummm...I meant to post some other stuff and things, so maybe sometime.

Blue is Bisexual?

Blue and Malik had been dating a week. A week, and now this?

“Hello all, I would like to introduce you to my new girlfriend, Kakahihi,” Blue motioned a teen girl with a grin.

“It's actually Kakahi,” she corrected with a smile, “and in lieu of being called Kaka, since that has been my lifelong nickname, I would love it if you would call me Kahi. I feel, like...Indian or something when people call me that. It's kind of like Mahi Mahi. Which might be food or something. Sounds delicious.” Kakahi gave a proud little smile, as Teddy, Malik, and Kip all stared at Blue, dumbfounded.

“You remember that you're dating Malik, right...?” Teddy mumbled after an extended pause, where Kakahi smiled at everyone, looking like she was dazed.

“Whatttt?” Kakahi replied. “You're cheating on me?”

“No, it's OK, I'm bisexual now,” Blue insisted.

Everyone, save Kakahi, who had started dozing off, was dumbfounded again. Kip was the first to speak, to Teddy, “You told me that wasn't how it worked.”

Teddy twitched his head a couple times and finally stated, “It's not. Kahi, right?” Kakahi nodded, and Teddy momentarily wondered if the girl was high. “Can you give us a moment alone with Blue?”

“Sure, I guess...Oh my God!” she shrieked. “I left the iron on! Did I? I can't remember...I'm going to go check...Maybe it was the oven...The bathwater? No, I didn't take a bath today...” Kakahi mumbled the entire way out of the room, and once she was gone Blue blinked at her friends.

“I'll let you two handle this one,” Kip mumbled, as he realized Malik was staring into the floor, paler than he'd ever looked with that tan skin of his.

Teddy scowled at Malik, then stated, “Take this one with you.” Kip nodded and pulled Malik off the floor. The young man highly resembled a lost puppy as he stumbled out the door of his and Kip's room.

“What's wrong?” Blue asked, and Teddy sighed.

“I want you to tell me why you think you're bisexual,” Teddy countered immediately.

“Cause I read a website that told me I could, if I wanted. Well, it said bisexual people could become straight, so I thought straight people, like me, must be able to become bi!” Blue cheered, and Teddy scowled more deeply. “You're going to get wrinkles,” Blue stated with a grin, and Teddy sighed.

“You remember how you're dating Malik? My besty who you promised not to break the heart of,” Teddy said to Blue, who nodded.

“Yeah, but the website said bisexual people can have as many 'partners' as they can handle at a time, so I figured I'd get one girl and one boy,” Blue explained, still grinning at Teddy. “What's the problem? I hear gay men are even worse. I heard you slept with six people in one night.”

Teddy stared at Blue, sighing deeply again, “That is just...offensive! And it sounds absolutely exhausting...”

“No, the website said you enjoy it,” Blue insisted, “and that you created STDs. Why would you do that?”

“Blue...,” Teddy mumbled, “though I know you don't realize what you're doing, you're pissing me off. So much. So much that I might start swearing again. Like really bad. Please tell me the name of the website and get. Out.”

“Ummm, OK?” Blue replied, then mumbled, “I just searched for bisexial. Like spelled how I said it. In the search box.”

“OK awesome, go enjoy yourself you're dismissed,” Teddy mumbled, pulling a laptop out from underneath Malik's bed. Before Blue could question how Teddy had gotten onto Malik's laptop with such ease when she knew she'd tried to get in there so many times Malik had informed her that he changed the password weekly, Teddy waved her away.

She trotted out of the room, blissfully unaware of how annoyed Teddy had become. What she saw in the hallway was her smiling “girlfriend” waving at her. “Ready to go?” Kakahi asked, and Blue nodded.

“So where are we goingggg?” Blue asked, as they walked past Kip and Malik. Kip was staring at them, confused, and Malik was just repeatedly sighing.

“We're going to eat lunch. Would you like to do that?” Kakahi asked. Blue nodded, so Kakahi guided the girl outside of the building with her, a glazed over expression on her face all the while. The pair headed toward a weird looking restaurant, and settled in at a table together.

“So what kind of fooood should I order?” Blue asked, and Kakahi shrugged.

“I usually order...,” she trailed off, then stared out the window for a moment. Blue waited for a while for Kakahi to continue her sentence, but she never did.

“Kahi?” Blue asked, and Kakahi blinked at her.

“Do you see that?” the other girl asked. Blue looked out the window, blinked and nodded.

“Totally,” she replied. “That person and the dog are talking to each other. Like that dog can speak English, wow.”

“No, no...” Kakahi shook her head, “no, no…That sign…what is that letter?”

Blue looked around, then smiled, “Oh no, that’s a kitty cat.”

“That’s a new letter,” Kakahi mumbled. “Longer name than most too, huh?”

“No, those lines make the shape of a kitty cat, see?” Blue explained, and Kakahi stared at the cat symbol for a while, tilting her head and tilting it back.

“Is that part the…ear?” she asked, and Blue nodded. Kakahi smiled at her as a waiter walked over to them, and sighed on sight.

“Do I have to explain what ‘banned’ means again?” he asked, and Kakahi shook her head.

“No but I can’t join your band. I can’t remember song lyrics remember?” Kakahi replied with a sweet little smile.

“No banned as in…you are not allowed to be in here. You almost started the place on fire the last time you were here,” the waiter explained, “and you’re really sweet but so incredibly destructive. Please leave.”

“Like a tree?” Kakahi asked, and the waiter sighed again.

“Can you get her to go?” he asked Blue, and the other girl shrugged.

“Sure, but…I can join your band if you need somebody,” Blue offered, and the waiter sighed.

“I don’t have a band,” he stated, “now if you’ll go…” Blue shrugged and stood up as Kakahi offered her condolences to the waiter for his band breaking up. Blue tugged her out as the waiter tried to explain that he’d never had a band.

They got outside the restaurant and Blue offered that they go eat in the school cafeteria instead, and Kakahi agreed. Soon they were sitting at a table, as Blue handed food over to Kakahi, who'd been unable to decide on a choice of food.

“What is...Going on? Teddy says I should be concerned,” Estela stated to the both of them with a casual head tilt.

“We're on a date,” Blue replied with a grin, and Estela made a light “hm” noise.

“Ok, well, we're going to need to have a talk,” she stated, then smiled at Kakahi. “I'm sorry to say, as far as anyone can tell, this girl is completely heterosexual. Don't get your hopes up.” Kakahi scowled.

“Are you talking about...yourself in third people?” Kakahi asked, and Estela shook her head.

“No, I'm talking about Blue. You're delightfully dumb, aren't you?” Estela chuckled, and Kakahi smield at her.

“Nope,” she replied, and Estela rolled her eyes with a smile and pulled up a chair.

“Hi, I'm Estela,” she greeted, and Kakahi smiled airily.

“It's Kakahi, and in lieu of being called Kaka, since that has been my lifelong nickname, I would love it if you would call me Kahi. I feel, like...Indian or something when people call me that. It's kind of like Mahi Mahi. Which might be food or something. Sounds delicious, “ she rehearsed. Estela smiled in this weird little way, and Blue got immediately annoyed. She stood and glared at the both of them as Estela chatted up her girlfriend, so she decided to go complain to Teddy about it.

Barreling into Malik's room, where Teddy was not located to her surprise, she scowled. She checked in Teddy's room, but he wasn't there either, and she scowled at Kendall. Kendall cackled creepily and told her something about her own room and Blue wandered off to check it out, only slightly worried. What she saw inside the room was mostly shocking to her: Teddy sat on her bed, still playing with Malik's laptop, and Alec was typing away furiously. Pablo was rolling around on the floor, complaining that he was bored.

Blue immediately shouted, “Estela is flirting with my new girlfriend! Pablo what are you doing? What are you two doing?”

“Hacking,” Alec and Teddy replied in creepy unison.

“I was waiting for you,” Pablo replied, grinning and standing from the floor. “We're going to have a talk. Teddy called for a meeting of the people who could hopefully talk to you about what's going on. We figured together Estela and I could work through this. Where'd she go again?”

“She fa-lirting with my girlfriend!” Blue declared, outraged. Pablo sighed at her then, but smiled momentarily.

“Good for her,” Pablo replied. “Now let's do a quick talk, because Teddy tells me some concerning stuff. Why do you think you're bisexual?”

Blue blinked, then tapped her chin, “Cause I wanna be.”

“See...Let's sit down,” Pablo mumbled, pulling Blue to her own bed to sit as he continued, “Let me...Let me put it this way. What would you think about kissing that girl you were just on a date with?”

“Ummmm,” Blue replied, thinking seriously, “I don't want that. It would be icky. I just wanna hang out with her and tell everyone I'm bi because that makes me cooool.”

“The thing is,” Pablo stated, still choosing his words carefully. “That website you read was a lie. If you were actually bi, you would want to kiss girls. You would be attracted to them, see? Feel the capacity to fall in love with them...Do...do you get it?”

Blue blinked, sighing, “I...think...Maybe. But I still wanna tell people I'm bi, right?”

“The thing about that is...People can be really mean to you when they learn you're bi. I mean, girls less so...But being a bi guy is just...Sigh. In any case! It's also misleading, and you don't want to hurt people's feelings, right?” Pablo asked with a big grin, and Blue shook her head. “Of course you don't. So if you're not bi, don't say you're bi, all right? Now you should go apologize to your boyfriend. Because no one should date more than one person at once. It's unfair to the people involved, OK?” Blue nodded and ran off to find Malik and apologize, as Teddy spoke while typing on Malik's laptop.

“These douches suck so hard,” Teddy stated, “but I would like to tell you...It sucks that bisexuality is kinda harder than even homosexuality for guys. I'm cool with bi guys.”

“Thanks. You cool with dating bi guys?” Pablo asked, leaning toward Teddy and wiggling his eyebrows.

Teddy didn't so much as turn to look at him as he replied, “Still pretty shaken up. Ask me again in a couple weeks.” Pablo grinned delightedly and glanced at what Teddy and Alec were doing.

“So what exactly are you doing?” he asked, and Teddy finally looked at him and smiled.

“Hacking every stupid website with information like what Blue read. Potts is in charge of giving viruses to the computers of everyone who runs the sites. It's for the greater good,” Teddy explained, and Alec nodded as if to agree.

“I have to agree with that,” he stated, “which is why this favor is coming half-price.”

Pablo nodded and smiled as Teddy continued on, “Obviously they'll be changed back eventually, but I hope this, I don't know...Send a message.”

“You know...,” Pablo stated, “you...You have so many random talents.”

“Being a genius isn't a choice,” Teddy stated with a smile, “it happens by accident.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Pablo replied. “One question, though...Is this not illegal?”

“Ehhhh,” Teddy replied, “who'd suspect me? They'll just arrest Malik anyway. It's his laptop,” Teddy declared, then smiled, “and Malik's not really smart enough for this, but I'm smart enough to get him out of being arrested.”

“So it's completely fine,” Alec assured, as the two returned to ignoring Pablo and mutilating websites.

In the cafeteria, Blue was just finishing an impassioned speech saying that she was a fool, after which she started rhyming various words with fool, staring with “cool” and ending with “Nazgul” which she insisted was on one of the “pointy buildings” (churches) in town. Kip explained Nazgul were from Lord of the Rings, and went off to try to figure out what Blue was talking about. Malik sighed and forgave Blue, but also took the time to explain she was thinking of “Nazarene” which was not the same thing as Nazgul. Blue didn't really listen, because apparently Kakahi was still around. She ran over to the girl to break up with her, then realized she was still talking to Estela.

“Stella!” Blue declared, scolding her, “PDA is illegal.”

“I don't think flirting constitutes PDA,” Malik offered as he trailed behind Blue.

“So I'm breaking up with you, Blue informed Kakahi, who simply smiled at her.

“Thattt's OK,” she stated, “Stella and I are going on a date later. She told me you're a hetero, so it's cool. I understand...Being bi makes you look cool, probably.”

“Exactly!” Blue declared. “makes me look BA.”

Malik and Estela shared nearly identical smiles as they looked at the girls, then glanced at each other and smiled again.

“If this pans out, you and I should go on some double dates sometime,” Estela stated, and Malik nodded.

“Sounds fun,” he replied, as Kakahi and Blue went off on a weird tangent about what other things “BA” could stand for other than bad ass. Malik sat next to Estela as Blue flopped into a chair next to Kakahi and continued their conversation. Malik noted Estela's genuine smiles as the two shared a separate conversation and a shared attraction to “idiocy” as both deemed it.

“Perhaps bah ambug,” Kakahi suggested.

“No, I think the thing you're thinking of is bah humbug,” she replied, as Estela and Malik listened to the conversation.

“I think it could mean best amigo,” Estela interjected, and Kakahi and Blue nodded and made oh ah noises.

“Or maybe brown apple,” Malik offered up, and Kakahi and Blue wrinkled their noises.

“Yuck,” Blue protested. The conversation continued on for quite a while, until they were shooed out of the cafeteria and eventually Kakahi left the school with a promise to go on a double date with Estela, Blue and Malik.
