OCT 18 2015 {Tuesday}:

Today's a new day in Faircity and it seems like New Chapter's for Adventures are on the air as Becky botsfords Making her way to school

“Huh? Oh hey! Haven't seen you for years,Where have you been?"

Ooh nothing much just been busy with the misses as usual! Also got to act on a show about a scientist and Awkward Kid 

“huh,Neat! Anyways I can't talk right now,I'm almost late for school and Mrs Davis won't be too happy if Im late again! See ya Old friend!"

Sniff they grow up so fast,ahem! Anyways onto the show!!

As Becky makes her Way to school she Sees Both Violet and Scoops waiting for her outside

“Guys!!"

they both look to they're side seeing Becky running towards them,In Unison they Yelled Becky's name

“Becky! You made it in time,Class was about to start!" Violet says as she rubs her friends shoulders,Calming her down in the process while scoops Walks towards Becky's other side, pulling up his Handy notebook and pen 

“Word in the street Becky is that you've been too busy Fighting off Maria the Energy Monster last night,Is that true?" Scoops look at her while writing down question's about the latest events last night,Becky sighs as she looks up at her friends “You bet,And I Almost forgot to finish My Math Homeworks,Good thing I was quick enough to finish it before getting ready for school" 

As the three made they're way to class Violet continued Talking to Becky and making sure she's alright after running a mile to get here “I hope you Your alright after running that far,Have you at least gotten any proper sleep Becky?"Becky Laughed a little as she looked at Violet “Violet you know me,A little mile run can't Hurt me and besides I have super speed!" Violet looked at her friend nervously “I know becky but what if someone sees you use your powers? Of course there are some who might not think too much about it but lately you've been using your abilities to do things no human would do like example: you managed to jump Mr Wilk's Giant Wall after you accidentally threw TJs Ball and You also Used your ice breath to make Your Coffee cold even though some people almost saw you doing it!" Becky felt guilty,of course her best friend would know this has been happening to her she couldn't handle it 

“Yeah I know it's been like this for a while but I know I can handle this! Trust me on this guy's" Violet and Scoops looked at eachother and back to Becky and Sighed “I know Becky but please be careful,we don't want Tobey to go snooping around where he shouldn't be"

“And why would I do that Violet" Oh no,that Smug British accent,They know it all too well..

“Hello...Tobey"

Hey guys! Listen for the words Shenanigans and blasphemy:

PREVIOUSLY:

“Yeah I know it's been like this for a while but I know I can handle this! Trust me on this guy's" Violet and Scoops looked at eachother and back to Becky and Sighed “I know Becky but please be careful,we don't want Tobey to go snooping around where he shouldn't be"

“And why would I do that Violet" Oh no,that Smug British accent,They know it all too well..

“Hello...Tobey"

________________________________________________________________________________

“Well if it isn't Becky Botsford,The only person in this boorish school to be close to my brilliance,Close"  he'd look at her with a smug smile as he watches Becky's Face turn into a scowl “And I See your being your usual Self Tobey" Becky would roll her eyes as she Walks past Tobey,not listening to what insults he'll be saying next 

“Why Botsford how rude of you" Tobey Watched as he sees Becky stopping in her track's “Botsford I'm being nice to you and the first thing you do to me is pushing past me and mocking me? Well that's not the 'Lil miss Botsford' I knew in elementary" Becky just inhales ever shred of good air and walks up to him,annoyed and done with Tobey's bullshit “Look Tobey,I don't know what your deal is but I'm not in the mood for your shenanigans,Now if you Excuse me I'll be going now with my friends in class,Like you should do too" Before Becky would walk away and go back to her friends Tobey grabs her gently in the shoulder's “Oh it's a shame really,I don't even know What shenanigans mean and I'm pretty sure I'm not doing any of that"

Isn't he smart?!,is this some sort of trick?! Sighing Becky Quickly turn with her heels and Looks up at Tobey,God was he always tall? " shenanigans means silly or high-spirited behavior" She looked up to his eyes as she see's a glint of curiosity,She wouldn't lie but Even if he's still a pain in the ass He's somewhat Handsome...not like she'd Tell him that “Aah,Thank you Becky for that knowledge you bestowed upon me,Now why don't we go to Class together hmm?" God she wanted to Kick him right then and there “Fine" 

 and like that They went off with Violet and Scoops trailing behind them, Unknown what's to come in about an hour 

9:20 AM:HISTORY CLASS (MRS COLLEEN'S CLASS)

God she's tired, You'd think that Fighting Maria would give her energy for today but it seems like it doesn't,She looked at Tobey and then to her friends as she watches them giggling and Holding hands..god she hated being a third wheel..

“Alright class! since Last month we had our First History Test I'll be giving you your test back and It's scores!" Mrs Colleen Walked up to every Student as she hands them they're papers,some got a high score of 70 while others got a low 50,then it was both Becky and Tobey's turn

“Heck yeah I got 70!" Becky Cheered unknown to a very angry Tobey beside her “THIS.IS. OUTRAGEOUS" Everyone  looked behind them to see a very angry Tobey,some even went  under they're table in fear of what the boy genius was about to do while the others rolled they're eyes saying “there he goes again" or “god can't he just shut up and relax for once" 

“Oh Tobey, What's the matter dear?" Tobey couldn't believe she'd Question him on what's going on,that witch knew what she did “Mrs. Colleen as much as History is a very interesting Subject I can't believe you managed to make all of my Answers wrong,Answer all about Scientists and robotics,Something im well accustomed of" He'd stand up from his seat,Scowling at the teacher and his classmates “What Kind of teacher doesn't know simple History about famous Scientist,How dare you mock me with your stupidity!" He clenched his Hands as his body was seething with annoyance and anger 

suddenly one of the students said “Uhm,What's Blasphemy??"

Bloody Fucking Idiots 

Becky being the child star of school stands up from her seat “Blasphemy means the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about Certain things,For example Tobey thinks that whatever the teachers wronged him is Blasphemy" Tobey looked at her and then back at the teacher “Thats because it is and you know it Mrs Colleen" The teacher looked at Tobey with a small smile, knowing full well that if she caught him doing havoc in class he'll be suspended for a week “W-Why Tobey I don't know what you mean?? I've been doing nothing but Being honest to you as a teacher" Lies,all of it are lies,Becky knew that and stepped in “Mrs Colleen,Maybe try and check the Papers? maybe you accidentally Wronged an answer that wasn't supposed to be wrong?" Tobey looked at Becky with a glare And whispered to her “This isn't a battle you would win Botsford" Becky looked back at him with a small glint of annoyance and whispered back “Im trying to help you Mccallister" 

The teacher walked towards them,a small still implanted in her face “My dear Becky,Tobey,I did not do such thing! All of the papers I corrected did not have any false correction's and wrong's,Maybe Tobey should've Been Focused more on The subject rather than silly robots" oh no,Becky knew what the teacher's doing and she's playing dirty, Colleen was always a nagging Karen but to this extent?! “focus?!! FOCUSED?!? ROBITS ATTA-"  

before he could finished and Becky could stop him the door slammed open, Revealing the principal “Theodore Mccallister the III,Your not up to your usual antics are you?!?" the principal would then see A crying mrs.Colleen,A very shocked Becky,Scared Students and Tobey holding his Very well known Remote “This is the third time this month Theodore! To detention now!" Tobey was shocked,he wasn't even going to attack just simply scare the teacher,this hell,this bloody hell of a school and city 

Tobey would proceed to Rudely Walk out of the Classroom,Knocking the principal down and leaving, He's had enough of this school...had enough of the people of this city..of everything

________________________________________________________________________________

12:30: LUNCH TIME:

“Did you hear the breaking news? Local Evil boy genius Theodore Mccallister the III was sent to detention and went home early with his mother, Shocking news right!" Becky would roll her eyes as he looked at Scoops “We were there Scoops,We know"

“Becky,why aren't you eating your food?" Violet said in curiosity,Becky then stopped playing with her spoon and sigh “Did you think what the teacher did was wrong? I'm pretty sure Whatever made Tobey angry was reasonable..right?" Scoops and violet looked at Becky with curiosity and confusion “No offense Becky but maybe whatever Tobey was mad about wasn't all that bad to begin with,Sure Mrs Colleen is an ugly old Karen but even we all know she wouldn't go that low to Fake wrong someone's Test,it would make her get fired" Scoops was right,Mrs Colleen liked working here since she had the power on all of the students,but then again she's greedy and have been pursuing bigger jobs before “Maybe your right..."

MCCALLISTER'S RESIDENTS:

“Tobey.."  Clair Mccallister, Tobey's mother,Was a woman Praised by many for being able to raise Tobey without going insane in the span of days,She looked at Tobey disappointed

“So...what happened in school?"  Tobey couldn't say anything,He was petrified, petrified that his mother wouldn't believe him and would Argue with him all over again  Causing her to cry and have a mental breakdown,he loved his mother more than anything and was scared to make her cry,he didn't wanna be him

“....the teacher wronged my tests on purpose..." Clair Sighed and Looked at him,Tears almost forming in her eyes “Son...you know I can't Raise you forever" “i know" “Your growing up Tobey,Sooner or later There won't be anyone to help you on these situations" “I know..mother"

he can sense it,he can sense her telling him he's like his father,That no good Bastard who left him and his mother when he was still only 3 years old “Sometimes I'm...I'm scared of you,Tobey..the more and more you grow the more You resemble your father-" “ DON'T CALL HIM MY FATHER!" Tobey would then looked at her mother,anger boiling in him only to be met with the face of Fear,he did it again,he screamed at his own mother..

“M-Mother I-" “Dont!" He stopped whatever he was gonna say as he looked at his mother's face,Anger and disappointment seething into her face

 “ I've had ENOUGH of your antics Theodore! For years I've been supporting you,proud of you for your robotics engineering all for you to SUDDENLY turn evil?! Why?! After everything I did,every sacrifice I had to make! I left London so that we would have a better life in America,AWAY from Your Father and this is the thanks I get?!? Why!?! Why did you turn evil,what happened to my own precious son!?!" 

Tobey couldn't say anything..he couldn't...but he wanted to so badly 

“Deep breathes Tobey"  He said to himself  “Deep.Breathes"

“Tobey!"

“Deep breathes"

“TOBEY!"

“BECAUSE I FELL IN LOVE MOTHER!!"

There it is...The very reason Why he was so obsessed in creating robots meant for destruction,To impress a girl...to impress Wordgirl..

“.....For someone intelligent you Really don't know how to Think for once" this was his breaking point,His mother no longer loves him and HE was just another reason why she's suffering,HE was to blame the same way HIS father is to blame everything that has happened to them 

In anger he stormed out of the dining Room and walked upstairs to his room, Slamming the door shut,He furiously Throw every single Blueprints and robots he had in his table and just looked at them

He'd soon started to cry for all of this was too painful for him to handle,why couldn't they understand his gift,why couldn't Wordgirl understand,The teachers,his own mother,was his brilliance really a gift or some sick twisted curse to remind him of his father....

That settled him,he grabbed his bag and  left his room and with the help of his robots he marched himself into an abandoned warehouse,his own Safe Haven...

In anger he stormed out of the dining Room and walked upstairs to his room, Slamming the door shut,He furiously Throw every single Blueprints and robots he had in his table and just looked at them

Later That night:

Becky Yawned as she stretched her Arms up,Her Cape flowing With the strong winds of the city as she watched the many light Flicker and Glow,She had been finishing up with her battle between Dr Two brains and The butcher and was now sitting by one of the very tall buildings of the city with Huggy by her side eating a Some Chips,“God Two Brains was a pain in the neck today, You'd think after many attempts he'd stop Stealing cheese, Doesn't he get tired of this back and forth battle?" Huggy chirped back saying “maybe." and that made Becky groan,“Schools been Stressful enough as it is and I haven't even Slept peacefully for weeks!" Huggy looked up at her with a very nervous look which Becky Shook her head,“Huggy I'm fine! Don't worry it's just,Tiring,To always do this Every single day" Huggy nodded and chirped saying, “will you be okay?." Hearing that Becky smiled at him, “Of course I'm fine Huggy! I just need a nice relaxing sle-"

Just then her Hearing Senses picked up loud mechanically Stomping from the distance to which made Becky scream,“AAAAAAAAH! It's fine,just fine! It's just Tobey after all I'm pretty sure I can handle him with ease,he wouldn't have THAT many Robots in this hour right?" She looked at Huggy trying to see if he agrees with her to which he nervously smile and thumbs up “Right! let's go Huggy!" And like that she's off to where tobey and his robots are going 

Turns out wherever tobey's going isn't a good one at best,It appears that where they're heading is a very unknown area of the forest with tall trees and Vines surrounding it,odd why would tobey of all people would go in the forest??.

From what she remembered in elementary tobey never liked the outdoors that much, “Huh,Do you know what he's doing in here Huggy? Do you think he's up to no good again?" She looked back at Huggy to which he chirped in reply, “I don't know" which made Wordgirl groan, “Well I don't know what he's doing in here but whatever it is it's something devious I just know it Huggy!" This made Huggy Sigh as Wordgirl Speed up her Flying and Slowly landed on a clearing,there she soon See's an abandoned warehouse which appears to look like a Robotics warehouse back in the 90s,Odd why would he be doing here? She'd slowly walk towards the warehouse with Huggy behind her 

There in the center of the Warehouse was Tobey,sitting down on a wooden chair with a table right in front of him and it appears he's fixing up some sort of miniature Robot that's the size of a Tennis ball,It looked round and even adorable from her point of view 

“Come to stop me while I'm not doing anything, Wordgirl" Crap,how did he knew she was here?!, “Eer,How did you even know I was here??" Tobey Scoffed and stand up,looking at her in the process “Heard your landing,now pray tell on why your doing in my warehouse in such a Gloomy Night,I'm not in the mood to Battle with you nor talk to you Wordgirl" Okay this confuses Wordgirl,for all they're battles Tobey was very well known at flirting with her and even chatting with her nonstop in so many occasions but NOW he's not?! what the hell happened?! 

“Sooo...heard from some student's you almost Attacked your school" Tobey gritted his teeth but remained calm, “I Wasn't Going to Attack the school,I was merely Trying to scare the teacher into correcting my Test paper.." At first Wordgirl Didn't buy it one bit but as she looked at his face All she could see was..pain.., “Tobey..why are you repressing your emotions?" This made Tobey shook his head as he looked at her with confusion “Repressing?" 

“Yeah,It means to restrain, prevent, or inhibit any sort of Emotions,Like for example your Repressing your Emotions and Not talking to me normally like you always do everytime we have a battle" Tobey looked annoyed,Does she really think he's an idiot?, “I Know what Repressing means Wordgirl,I'm Just Dumbfounded on how you think I'm Repressing any Emotions"  he'd huffed as he looked away from her,yeah she ain't buying that one bit, “Well for starters Mr ‘Boy genius' Your eye's are all puffy and red almost like you've been crying,Not only that but your normally talkative whenever you see me and the only time I see you act like this is if something happened to you that made you cry so Spill Mccallister" Tobey looked at her and sighed,He couldn't hide it from her can he?.

“Something happened in school,As you may have said previously yes I did sorta almost summoned my robots to school,But it isn't even what you think! I was doing so to scare the teacher into Correcting my Test right! bloody cunt didn't check it properly on purpose" Becky listened to Tobey's ranting as he continued for a good minute, “Yeah what the teacher did was pretty Terrible but you didn't have to scare her and the rest of the classmates like that,if you could've just politely tell her to correct your test she'd-" Tobey slammed his hands on the table and glared at her, “I did do that and did she listen?! No! You have NO idea how painful it is for me! To literally be looked at like I'm some sort of Monster,Sure I've done things villainous but I was never liked this you know! For years I've been Forgotten, neglected by the people who should've been praising for my Intelligence,Who should've supported me from Pursuing Robotics Engineering but did no one came to Help me or appreciate me?! No! And it's been like that for years! I'm tired! Tired of the everything,It made me feel indignant over everything!"

 Wordgirl couldn't believe it,there in front of her is a crying Tobey who just told her his hidden Emotion's,She knew he had a difficult experience interacting with people she didn't know it was THAT bad and it honestly made her feel guilty,For years she fought with him and talked with him but was never close to knowing how he truly felt,but now she's here standing in front of him dumbfounded by everything

Huggy then chirped, “indignant ?" Which quickly snapped Wordgirl from her Daze “Huh? Oh! Uh Indignant means feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment,for example Tobey's Indignant because he feels abandoned and lonely" Tobey looked at Wordgirl and Looked away,huffing in the process “I dont feel Lone-" “And I don't blame him" 

This suddenly shocked Tobey,Did she say she didn't blame him for his Emotions?As if she understands his pain? “Did..did you say you don't blame me?" He'd looked at her with curiosity “Yeah,I don't,I can honestly Understand your situation Tobey" He'd scoffed “How could you understand how I'm feeling,Your Wordgirl,Your loved by everyone" Wordgirl looked at him With guilt and bit her lip, “Yeah as Wordgirl I am but as a normal Civilian? People don't Normally care who I am as a civilian and would just ignore me,My friends ignore most of the times and never helped me in such rough situations,My family always think I'm Rude for Skipping on so many special occasions and Everytime I try to have at least one break there's always one or two villain's on the loose, there's even school and thats not helping me with all this pressure I've been dealing with,For years I've been protecting this city and not once Do I hear the people praise for who I am but rather they're praising for my powers or How I save they're city or How I fight bad guys! I never get things right for me and whenever I try to I just feel like I'm doing it all wrong!" she could almost feel her tears coming out of her eyes,her emotion's were cracking and she doesn't know how much longer until she'd Breakdown again, Huggy was beside her comforting her and making sure she was okay.

“Im alright Huggy,Just Getting emotional that's all" She know's That bottling up emotion's isn't a good thing but she couldn't help it,for years she had to hide away her Pain so that she could heal other's instead of her and now Seeing Tobey having the same problem as her,it made her feel free to talk about it , Suddenly she felt a hand patting on her shoulder and see's Tobey already Beside her “I guess I'm not the only one after all..." He'd then proceed to walk out of the Warehouse and into the Open clearing as he looked back at Wordgirl “Thank you, Wordgirl,If you wanna talk again about this come meet me here sometime.. I'll see you soon.." 

And like that he's gone, riding his Robots back to his home, Wordgirl felt weird and it wasn't a bad type of weird it felt..good like as if something opened up to her 

“Huggy..do you think I'm making the right choice if I go back here?" She looked down at her Sidekick as he Shrugged his Shoulders chirping out, “We'll see." Wordgirl nodded looking back outside the warehouse “Lets..get back home" She grabbed Huggy as they flew out of the warehouse and back home, wondering what the next day is gonna be for them, especially Becky but for now I think she now know's what to do for tomorrow and she honestly hope's she's doing the right thing..

Mccallisters Resident's (11 PM):

Tobey was able to made it all the way home safely without any bystanders Screaming over a giant robot Rampage, he'd slowly open up his window and made his way inside his room making sure not to make any sudden noises that might alarm his mother,Once fully inside his room he sighed in relief before his door slammed open Revealing his mother with a very stern look 

“Where have you been young man.." Tobey couldn't look at her,he know's what face she's making and knows that tone of voice too well so in fear he gulped the last shredded air he has and respond, “I was Taking a midnight stroll..mother" He couldn't see her face but he know's she's looking at him with a glare,she doesn't believe him one bit, “Why did I saw your robots outside." 

“i was using them as transportation,now if you excuse me mother I'm going to bed" Clair looked at him for a good second before leaving his room,once she was gone Tobey Stared at his bed before laying down with newly tears coming out of his eyes,He didn't think this day was gonna be like this but it did and now he doesn't know what to do,he could go to the principal and apologize but how could he apologize over something that doesn't need apologizing.

 He'd soon grow Weary after the day of endless stress and slowly went to sleep Hoping something good happens tomorrow.

________________________________________________________________________________

The next day at the Botsfords Residence:

{OCT 19,2015):

Becky rushed outside as soon as she finished eating and Started walking with Violet and Scoops Following her,while walking Violet Saw how tensed Becky's been for these past few minutes and gently shook her a bit “Becky are you alright you've been kinda tensed up for a good minute,Are you nervous of something?" Becky at first didn't say anything but soon realize she didn't want her friend's to worry her too much and responded to Violet, “Im going to confront Mrs Colleen.." Becky didn't hear anything from her two friends until scoops shouted “WHAAAAAAT?! Why!? She's a gator Becky,a stone cold Jaguar!" “What scoops is trying to say Becky is that Mrs Colleen is very Strict and Cruel,What if she sends you to the principal??" Becky bit her lip,she knew her friends were gonna respond like this and she knew they were gonna question her more “Becky why do you wanna confront a Vicious vulture like her? She's crazy!" “Scoops thats not nice" “Im Sorry Sweetie but it's true!"

“.....I'm going to confront her over Tobey's Test paper..." Becky didn't see her friend's face's but she know's they're looking at her shocked and dumbfounded “Why?" Bingo,knew Violet was gonna say that “N-Not to be rude Becky but why would you stand up for Tobey? You never liked him since he's always constantly Fighting you both in school AND as Wordgirl."

Becky didn't know too but something in her felt it's the right thing to do,after last night's Conversation with him she felt guilty for not standing up for him when he needed it the most “Tobey didn't deserve what happened to him so as a hero I have to do a Heroes duty and help those who needed it the most" both scoops and Violet looked at eachother and stared back at Becky not Knowing how to feel about this situation, “Becky you can't possibly do hero work while being in your normal Civilian Form,I mean what has Tobey done to you that made you wanna stand up for him?" 

“He understood my pain.." Was all Becky could think and for a second she didn't know how to respond to scoops question, “I just..felt bad,that's all..Tobey Studied hard for this test and I know it but Mrs. Colleen was too Inhumane Towards him that it just..made me feel guilty in not Helping him.."  Scoops and violet didn't say anything which Questioned Becky “Oh! Uuh,Inhumane means a person without compassion for misery or suffering and are simply cruel,For example Mrs Colleen is Inhumane for Being too Cruel towards Tobey" 

“We know what Inhumane Means Becky, it's just surprising for you to Do this for Tobey,Your normally the type of person who wouldn't Go into Tobey's business,Plus Isn't he evil? He almost Summoned his robots at school!"

 Becky clenched her fist Thinking of what Tobey said last night “Yeah well maybe The teacher deserved it,After all He didn't even intentionally Wanted to Destroy the school he just wanted to scare the teacher into properly correcting his test paper!" Suddenly Becky put her hands over her mouth,crap they didn't know that! “Becky,What do you mean he didn't wanted to destroy the School??" Violet asked curiously but Becky answered was just a nervous chuckle “Ahahahaha is it hot out or is it me? Anyways let's get going guys,Don't wanna be late!!" And like that Becky speed walks herself away from her friends while the two follow close but before she could go any farther Becky Looked back at her two Friends “Wait..I need some help first"

________________________________________________________________________________

 7:30 AM at school:

 Once inside the school Becky marched herself to Mrs Colleens Classroom where she met a very irritated Teacher looking at her with a glare, “What do you want Becky, can't you see I'm busy"

“No Mrs Colleen I don't think I see you do anything aside from reading that Magazine of your's" With a scowl Mrs Colleen Stand up and walked towards where Becky was “ Someone's being Nosey today,What do you even want from me Becky Botsford?" Becky glared at her,There's no turning back from this and she just hopes to God nothing bad happens “Im here because of Tobey's test paper,I can tell from your Eye's Teacher that you were doing it on purpose to get rid of Tobey" The old hag scoffed and pulled out some paperwork under her desk “So what if I did? It doesn't really matter since no one's gonna believe a silly lil girl like you,your just a child and nothing special to it" Becky smirked “so you admitted in. Not properly checking Tobey's Papers?? Don't you think you'll get caught for this?"

The teacher laughed harshly as if she just heard the most funniest joke ever, “of course I admitted it,Besides what am I scared of,the principal? He doesn't know shit about this situation and that's how it'll stay! Tobey was a pain in the back for always acting like he's‘better than everyone else he honestly deserve's karma" She looked at Becky to only see a big grin printed on her face “I knew you were gonna say that" Becky said before pulling a Voice recorder in her back pocket,This sneaky lil bitch “You bitch-"

“Ah ah ah Mrs Colleen,You don't want me to tell the principal over this now would you?" The teacher Scoffed and glared at Becky,Trying to see if she could scare her which ultimately failed 

“well,You have your proof what do you want? You gotta ask me to check Tobey's Papers correctly?" “Yes,that's exactly what I want teacher,just a simple honest correction to something you purposely wronged" Becky smiled so innocently that it even scared the teacher a bit “as if I would Do that,I don't give a damn about you or The students so you can keep your Pathetic voice recorder, they'll just think you edited it!" 

“Oh teacher,I wouldn't go outside , it'll ruin your image" Becky smirked as she saw her Chuckle a bit,Vile witch “And what are you gonna do about it hmm? Your just a kid,nothing more than th-" Just as she was About to say her final sentence she heard a very angry tone “So you DID wronged His papers on purpose! do you know how bad it would've been if you ticked him even more Camilla!" the principal showed up with both violet and scoops by his side,the teacher looked at him looking frightened from this sudden dilemma “M-Mr.Doxen! It's nice to s-see you again!" 

“Enough games Camilla! I heard everything I needed!" The teacher growled and screamed at him, “So what if I did wronged his papers purposely?! He honestly deserve's it for being such a spoiled Brat!"

“his behavior does NOT mean you have to be cruel towards him! Now it's either you apologize to The Mccallisters or it's Goodbye to this job!" Colleen Pushed the Principal aside and walked away glaring at everyone “FINE!  I didn't need this stupid ass job anyways and I was more happy being a model than this crappy job! Good bye to you good for nothing pieces of shit!!" With every student out of they're classrooms they managed to watch as Mrs Colleen Walked out of the school and slam the doors shut 

The principal sighed and looks at becky and her friend's “Thank you,if it wasn't for you three Mrs Colleen would've continued to use her powers against Tobey,now all I have to do is send an apology letter to the Mccallister's and hope things will be alright for them"

“All in the days work principal,After all Mrs Colleen was being too Austere towards Tobey that it didn't seem fair for him" Becky smiled as she look up at the principal “Austere?" Violet Questioned “Austere means to be severe or strict in manner, attitude, or appearance. Like for example Mrs Colleen was Very Austere towards Tobey"

“Oooh,thanks Becky! I got confused there for a second" Becky giggled at violets respond “Any time Violet"

“Now that Mrs Colleen is gone I'll have to find a new teacher in charge of history while you three should go back to Your classes"the principal Said before walking back to his office,becky soon looked at her friends “Looks like mission accomplished to me!"

“i won't lie but it did feel kinda good Seeing an evil person like Mrs Colleen get Scolded" Violet giggled before returning her gaze towards her boyfriend “Yeah it honestly felt really cool! Anyways enough talking guys let's go back to Class!" Becky and violet nodded and walked there way to Math Class

“i won't lie but it did feel kinda good Seeing an evil person like Mrs Colleen get Scolded" Violet giggled before returning her gaze towards her boyfriend “Yeah it honestly felt really cool! Anyways enough talking guys let's go back to Class!" Becky and violet nodded and walked there way to Math Class

“hope things gets better for Tobey..." Was what Becky only said to herself before continuing to follow scoops and violet.  ________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning at the Mccallister's residence: {OCT 20,2015}

Tobey woked up tired with eye bags under his eyes and tears still visible on his cheeks. Last night he couldn't sleep well due to what happened last day With his mother arguing with him and the day before that. He wasn't bothered by it though since This has Happened to him occasionally so he has gotten quite used to wake up all tired and teary eye'd

“Theodore!! Theodore Mccallister the III Get down here this instance! It's about Your school."

“Oh boy what is it this time? Did the school finally gave up on me and are trying to get me Expelled?" 

He said to himself before walking down to where his mother was,Tired while still wearing his Blue colored Pajamas. “Yes Mother?" He said in Question,his mother looked at him with a letter on her hands which made Tobey gulped and sweating in fear, "Im dead this time aren't I?They expelled me,They expelled me and my mother knows it" He said to himself,His mind confused and frightened for whats to come. “M-Mother what's that?.." His mother looked at the letter then towards his own son looking calm as ever,strange, you'd think his own mother would be very furious about this

 “Becky came here today to bring you this letter." Becky?! Why would SHE be here bringing a letter?? Is this some sort of joke to her?!. “the letter's from the principal dear." 

"She Planned this,She probably planned this whole thing with that bitch of a teacher and the principal to get me Expelled. That cunning girl I'll get her head for th-"

 “the Principal said that due to Colleen's Cruelty towards you and your Unjustified test score because of her He Fired her and Made sure no teacher will do the same treatment towards you,Also he said you can Go to school today and he also apologize's for not Realizing the circumstances from that day"

“....What?!?" Was what Tobey could say in his mind. Since when did the principal say sorry to him?! Who told him about this?! Was Becky involved in all of this and is that why she came here?! How?!, “That's,That's wonderful mother! I'll start Preparing for school." Was what Tobey Could say in this circumstances but before he left the dining area he felt warms arms on his chest..his mother was hugging him, “Im sorry..sorry for not Believing you son,I was just..Scared to see you Grow up to become like you're father." Tobey felt guilty but angry at the same time. he knew his mother loved him since the moment he was born but he also knew that if it wasn't for this letter his mother would never believe him at all for what happened that day..but also knew that his mother is a broken woman who couldn't stand to see him grow up to be a vile man.

“ it's alright mother,What matter's is I'm not getting expelled and the teacher got fired.. I'll be heading to my room to shower now." His mother nodded before going to the kitchen to Cook up something for him today. ________________________________________________________________________________

{School: 7:20 AM}:

Tobey made his way to school very early and with no problem's along the way,While he was walking on the halls of the School he heard whisper's and gossips of him..great.

“God I can't believe he's back,I thought the teacher did the right thing suspending him."  Said a blonde girl wearing a white and pink dress.

“I know! Like,Why can't the principal Expell him!? God he's so annoying, Calling himself the ‘Worlds formidable Boy genius' Ugh!." Said a Chestnut haired girl wearing Red Stripped Sweater and Black jeans.

“ Didn't you hear? That Becky girl Made The teacher get fired because She actually made the teacher get caught in her act."  A guy said wearing a Jersey's Jacket with Brown Jeans and White Air Jordan's Sneakers.

This stopped Tobey from walking away,Becky? She was the one who helped the principal fire Mrs Colleen? Why? How? Why would she help him?. This surprised him Dearly but not too much to listen into the gossip. 

“Ugh! that slut?! God I always Hated her,Always the golden girl of the class and even became the class president! Like,Eew!."  The blonde bimbo said,Not knowing Tobey was scowling at her and her friend's.

“Do you think they're dating?."  The guy said making the two girls laugh 

“Darius I wouldn't be surprised! Like,Come on look at them?! Only a loser could date him."  They all laughed, Continuing to make fun of both Him and Becky.  “These fucking assholes" was all what Tobey said before marching towards them.

“HEY!" He yelled at them making the two girls panicked and the guy Hiding behind the girls, “pathetic." He said to himself as he looked at all three of them.

“Oh h-hey Tobey! Look we were just joking around right guys?!" The blonde bitch said before looking back towards her friends who were nodding furiously while shaking in fear over what the boy genius will do to them.

“You know it's not nice to Gossip over someone who's better than you Peasant's,Maybe try and check your Eye's before I check them myself." He smiled evilly before slowly pulling out his remote which freaked out the three idiots before running away. 

“ WE'RE SORRY!!" He Watched as they ran past many students and towards the cafeteria which made Tobey laughed in the process. “Typical,Scare them off and they'll run like chicken's." Before he could continue walking to his class he heard a soft voice behind him.

“Tobey?" Tobey knew that voice too well,the soft sweet tone,the brown shimmering eye's that look like scarlet up close,the silky brown hair that flows beautifully outside whenever he see's her with her friends,The- .....he should stop before he goes into a blushing mess..

He cleared his throat before looking back towards Becky and her friend's “Hello there Botsford." She looked up at him before smiling softly. “Hey! Uhm,I see you got the principal's letter!." She said cheerfully,Her eye's sparkling with delight. “Yes I did,Thank you by the way..if it wasn't for you my mother would never believe me ever again." he looked into her eyes,Brown and shining like a bright oak tree or sunset.

“It wasn't any problem I just thought What Mrs Colleen did to you was unjustified and cruel." This made Tobey smile for a bit,He didn't think Becky would save him from his situations but here she is in front of him smiling and saying it wasn't any big deal.

“Becky Botsford you really are conscientious it honestly baffles me sometimes." Becky blushed slightly until Violet spoke. “conscientious?" She said in confusion which Becky replied gratefully. “ Conscientious is a person wishing or willing to do what is right, especially to do one's work or duty well and thoroughly. For example: A police officer is Conscientious Because they are willing to do what is right for the world." This made Violet nod and smiled at Becky, “Thanks Becky!."

“No problem Violet." Becky turned back to Tobey with an awkward smile, “So uuhh..Shall we go to class??." Tobey hummed and continued walking, “We shall." Becky nodded before following Tobey with Violet and Scoops behind her.

________________________________________________________________________________

{Later that night: 10:30 PM}:

Today's day was..very eventful, Tobey honestly couldn't imagine his day being like this and right now he's Trying to build something as a thank you gift for Becky. He hope's she doesn't mind a little Robot who can help her with Troublesome tasks.

“ Can't believe I'm doing this, normally I would use my robots To start havoc across the city but now?! I'm giving my own creation to someone else!." He huffed,putting down his Handy Screwdriver.

“She better like this gift cause this little robot is taking me too long to finish.."

“What Robot?" Tobey yelped as he fell down from his chair looking up to see Wordgirl Sitting on his bed giggling. “S-Sorry,I was just curious about what you were doing..that and I could hear you mumbling from here." She smiled at him as Tobey looked awestruck at what he's looking at, Wordgirl was here not to stop him in his Robot rampage or Building something destructive But Is here because she was curious on what he was building.

He immediately got up and Hid the little robot behind him. “W-Wordgirl! Fancy seeing you here!." He leans into his table trying to look cool which didn't work as he looked really dorky than he should be. “Yeah well I wanted to see what you were doing,Sooooo..what's that lil Robot for?" Tobey panicked for a bit,Before he could grab the robot it disappeared instantly and was now in Wordgirl's Hands,Curse her beauty and her super speed. 

“I-Its uhm..a gift..for someone." This surprised Wordgirl to the point where she almost dropped it,Almost. “Whoops! S-Sorry about that it's just..you NEVER gave anyone anything,at least not for birthday's or a letter for thank you's..or valentine's day." She blushed remembering that one time in Valentine's day when he gave her a chocolate shaped like an actual heart. 

This also made Tobey blushed. ”W-Well it's special..it's for someone who saved me from my mother's wrath and being expelled.."

Wordgirl knew it was meant for her but shrugged the blush in her face. “What does this lil fella do?." This Lightened up Tobey and quickly gave him a confidence boost. “I would love to show you what this tiny robot can do!."

He grabbed the little robot and sat it on the Floor before pressing a button from a tiny remote. the small robot started moving and blinking slightly towards both Tobey then at Wordgirl,Once the robot saw both of them it saluted them cutely before walking towards Tobey's cramped bookshelves and Started putting All of Tobey's books,Notebooks and Item's into it's rightful place. 

This made Wordgirl look at it in awe at how the lil robot was working,it was small but was able to lift heavy objects like Tobey's bigger books or a metal replica of Mecha Godzilla. “So it's a cleaning bot?." Wordgirl Questioned while looking at Tobey who then Chuckled a little over her question. “No,not really. it's actually an advanced robot meant to Help The owner do Homeworks,Not only that but it can Give the user simple instructions like Building a Table for example,Warns the user for any weather changes or disasters like Storms or typhoons and it can even Be a bodyguard,I call it The Customized Advanced Robotics Helping Difficult Incidents or C.A.R.D.I for short." Wordgirl blinked a few times,Cause one that's the most cutest name she has ever heard and two, "A bodyguard?! This little thing?! It's tiny how can it be a bodyguard?!."Wordgirl said to herself.

and as if Tobey Read her mind with psychic abilities he answered. “If you're wondering how this small Robot can be a suitable Bodyguard then you really don't know Shakespeare's Quote 'and though she be but little,she is fierce', Why don't you go ahead and attack it." 

This made Wordgirl curious and accepted the request as she made her way to the robot charging at it, Suddenly it grabbed on to Wordgirl's Arms and flung herself outside Of Tobey's room landing on a lamppost in the process. Wordgirl was able to get back inside Tobey's room but not without a bruised cheek in the process.

 “OW! okay I'll admit that was strong, Didn't think a small Robot like that can be very strong,Who would've thought." She rubbed on her bruised cheek whining slightly in the process,Tobey chuckled and grabbed his First aid kit And Started Rubbing Some ointment on her cheek. 

“Told you it was strong." Before he could finished he looked at Wordgirl's Eyes Closely,They were shining bright and beautiful like a star.

"pulchritudinous.." he said softly so that she couldn't hear him under his breath but of course Tobey being a lovestruck fool always forgets his lovely Wordgirl has Super hearing , “Tobey,D-Did you just call me beautiful?" She blushes slightly which made Tobey panicked. 

“Whaaat! Nooooo! I don't even know what Pulchritusomething mean's!." He started to Laugh awkwardly but Wordgirl wasn't buying it one bit, “Pulchritudinous is an adjective that means physically beautiful or attractive, It's a longer word for Beautiful." This Made Tobey turn into a Blabbering mess.

“I- well- you see uuh.. it's just that uhh,I,er." Before he could begin his blabbering nonsense Wordgirl Kissed Tobey's cheeks and smiled at him, Giggling at the process after seeing his Dumbfounded face staring at her. “ it's alright Tobey,I don't really mind you calling me beautiful,I kinda liked your compliments And I really needed that after a very stressful day today." She looked away blushing a shade of dark red.

Suddenly Tobey's alarm started to beep indicating it's already 12:00 which caused Wordgirl to freak out, “Shoot! I have to get back home! Uuh,uhh see you next time Tobey,bye!!" And like that she was gone in a blink of an eye.

Tobey Touched the cheek where Wordgirl Kissed him and Smiled widely,he soon got up and cheered while doing a little dance, “I GOT A KISS FROM WORDGIRL! I GOT A KISS FROM WORDGIRL!." Suddenly he heard his mother yell out his name, “Theodore Mccallister the III you better go to sleep young man!." 

“Yes mother!." Tobey Laid Down on his bed,a smile still plastered on his face and a blush that was as bright as his face.

This really was a very thankful and blessful day for him.

This really was a very thankful and blessful day for him. ________________________________________________________________________________________

Mccalister's Residence (Oct 21,2015: 5:20 AM)

The moment the Sun's rays shined upon Tobey's Room he Dashed towards the Bathroom where he proceeded to Get his shit together and Go to school as early as he could,after his talk with Wordgirl he was more Positive at anything than ever even When it comes to his Academic Rival in school. “Focus Tobey,it's just a normal Thank you gift and that's all it is, remember this isn't something to be excited about and your heart only belongs to Wordgirl." That was a lie and he knew it.

“I heard that!."

“Sorry tobes." 

Just then he hears his mother calling out for his name, “Tobey are you ready for school? If so please come down to the dining room,We have something to talk about dear." wonder what the talk is going to be,Guess he has to find out for himself. He slowly walked down the stairs and made his way to the dining area where he see's his mother Looking at him with two plates of Egg,beans and salad, “Sit down dear and eat up." Tobey glanced at the plate in front of him before he slowly sat down next to his mother, “Mother your cooking has always such a delight in this house,you must Teach me how you do it." his mother only hummed in response which isn't a good sign,she only acted this way whenever she feels agitated over something.

“Mother is there something wrong? You know you can tell me anything." His mother sighed and looked at him in the eyes, “Tobey,You know I love you like a mother would,Right?." What silly Question was that? Of course he knew his mother loved him so much,She was the one who raised him and Handled his Aggressive tendencies and was around his life unlike that No good man he calls a father, “Of course mother! Now what's gotten into you that have you asked that silly question to me?." He could see His mother's eyes,they were filled with sorrow and this made him feel nervous as hell,did something happen? Was he visiting them? He sure as hell hope that's not what's happening or else he'll be sending robots on his way.

“Tobey Dear I..I would like it if you don't bring your robots to school,I think it's best for you,me and your classmates."  ..oh..that..Tobey looked dumbfounded but Stayed calm as ever,he didn't wanna scare his mother nor Wanted to make a scene after last night so he hummed back as a respond. “Mother I understand you're Nervous and scared about me bringing my robot's but you do know they are the only source I have in protecting myself from any incident's right? I'm not saying what you said was wrong mother but all I'm saying is I still need a bit Of my robot's for help."

He didn't know what this conversation will take him anywhere but he made sure whatever he said wouldn't trigger his mother's rage and fear, “But if it really helps I will Stop bringing my robot's,But for now just let me bring this one robot to school please? It's something really important."

His mother flinched at that respond, What importance did he mean? Is he going to Cause another robot rampage? Is he plotting something more devious? Oh god please don't let it be like that,Clair Breathe slowly before calmly looked at him, “ And what pray tell is this robot son? Why is it so important that you wanted to bring it to school? Last time I checked you didn't have any Robot making project's in your subjects."

“Oh it's nothing like that mother it's just.." he proceeded to grab a small miniature Robot that's the size of a toy truck and put it gently on the table. Clair was obviously surprised of the smallness of this little robot,The way it blinked It's eye's and proceeded to Move in circle's obviously wasn't helping clair due to the little thing being too adorable, “Its adorable dear but what does this Robot do? It doesn't seem like it's of any importance for school." Tobey smirked before shifting his glasses like a cocky bastard he is, “Not true mother! There are many things this Little fellow can do! Er,But I'm pretty sure we don't have time for that so I'll just give you a small insight of it,It basically helps anyone do daily tasks and Chores and is also a well developed bodyguard capable of protecting the owner of any unwanted incidents like Fights,Natural disaster's,ect."

Clair was surprised at first,this small robot was capable of Protecting The owner from natural disasters? Sometimes She was either proud and scared of her son's intelligence and this doesn't help at all, “Its incredible dear,did you made it for yourself?."

“Eer,no actually it's uuh,For someone." Well that was shocking to hear from Tobey,It's for someone? Clair was deeply Baffled at this and was now even more curious, “Oh? And may this person be?." God Tobey never liked how his mother's curious over everything he does,It was either being very intrigued over what he's doing or very cautious, “Its for Becky Botsford,A small thank you gift for everything she has done for me. I thought since she saved me from the possibility of being expelled from school I'd figured giving her something to help do with daily tasks would Benefit her and make her realize how thankful I am to her."

Well this is unexpected, Theodore Mccallister the III,the person who's known to be very protective of his robots and takes pride on them like they're his own children's,Is giving one of them to his Academic Rival in school who he constantly belittle's and makes fun of, “Dear that's very thoughtful of you! I never expected you would do all this for her but I'm so happy you're being thankful,Just make sure the robot doesn't malfunction and always remember that if she doesn't like it then it's okay and softly say sorry about it." Tobey hope's she likes it,After all building a small robot like this isn't always easy.

“I will mother,I should go now it's almost class." His mother hummed softly with a smile,Grabbing the Car key's in the process, “Alright dear let's get going." ________________________________________________________________________________________

{School: 7:20 AM}

Tobey made his way inside the halls of his school, Bumping different student's who are passing by him and blocking the many taunts and Laughter's coming from his Bullies. After grueling minutes he made his way to his Literature Class were he waits patiently for Becky and her friend's to walk in and sit beside him.

“Im telling you guys the movie wouldn't be THAT bad! I mean sure every princess Triana live action Movies Has it's flaws but they all end up being good in the end." And that's his cue,He Elegantly fixed his bowtie before Standing up and slowly made his way to Becky, “Botsford,Ming and Heaslip,Nice weather today isn't it?." He say's in a posh British accent.

“Absolute Baffoon what was that!? Nice weather today? That's the most bland Question you have made today!" Tobey cursed himself inside and was blushing in embarrassment, “Uuh hi Tobey. Are you alright you seem very..sweaty today." Tobey Touched his forehead realizing he was sweating profusely,must be from all the running he had to get here, “Oh,right! I was uuh, Running to get here on time just to see you." Real smooth.

“Becky Can we talk At lunch? It's something Really Important." Okay this peaked Becky's curiosity,she honestly didn't think Tobey would go through his plan in giving her the robot but I guess she's wrong on many things about him.

“Oh sure! There better be no funny business Tobey." She Makes sure Tobey wasn't playing a trick on her by looking deeply at his facial expressions and Hands, Because the last thing she needs is Tobey Trying to prove she's Wordgirl all over again.

“Becky Botsford I promise Nothing bad is going to happen to you, Mccallister's Honor." Hearing Tobey Promising there wouldn't be any tricks made her relieved and eased up a bit. “Alright Tobey, I'll wait after lunch near the giant oak tree outside our school." Tobey grinned before sitting back on his seat, “Splendid." ________________________________________________________________________________________

{Lunch time: 12:00 PM}

Becky was sitting down under the oak tree waiting for Tobey to make his way to where she was, “ He's really taking so long huh?." She question's if Tobey was even going to make it or if he just pulled a terrible prank on her,Just before Becky was about to leave Tobey was sprinting to where she was with a box wrapped around his ams. “Sorry I'm late,you have NO idea the amount of student's I had to push." Becky giggled in response before pointing at the box, ”So what's inside that thing?."

She of course knew what it was but didn't wanna cause a stur with Tobey nor making herself look suspicious over the fact she was able to know it was a robot.

“Well I'm glad you asked my dear Botsford." he gently opens the small box and Pulls up a tiny robot, with it's blinking eyes it slowly rose up and looked at Becky carefully before Buzzing With delight. “ it's Eer,a thank you gift for helping me not get expelled." He gently handed the robot to Becky, “I know you're not too fond of my robit's but I feel like you need this more than anything."

Becky smiled at Tobey,never in her life would she be willing to accept Tobey's robot but here she is cuddling the small thing like it's a pet, “Thank you Tobey,I love it so much!."

Tobey scoffed with pride, “of course you like it,I AM the Incredibly Handsome And Smart Theodore Mccallister the III!" Tobey could hear Becky's soft Giggles and smiled widely,He normally hated people laughing at him but with Becky it feel natural.

Like as if Her giggles and Laughter's weren't to mock him but to make him feel better,  He Snapped out of his Day dream and Coughed before heading back to the schools main doors, “We should get going, don't wanna be late for Math Class." 

“Right! Let's get going!." Becky walked beside him as she continued to Hold the small robot, Wondering what life will take her on this bumpy road of surprise.
