Chereads / Ricki Tucker's High (Season 1) / Chapter 6 - New unexpected position

Chapter 6 - New unexpected position

One school day morning, the boys sit together talking about basketball;

Sean: Basketball is weird

Everyone: (stares at him curiously)

Sean: I mean you start running consistently for twelve minutes per quarter, and there are four quarters? Damn I'd drop dead.

Miles: Shurrup what you about basketball anyway?

Ralph: Good question

Sean: Well I know that it's got four quarters of twelve minutes of running the hell outta your legs and gasping for breath. And the GOAT is Tyler Herro.

Kurt: Well technically he(Sean) is saying all he knows is that basketball ain't a flirting sport where you win by flirting with a whole mess of girls

Troy: Hah! Nice one Kurt

Mr Albert Ruckus, a teacher incharge of internal school affairs comes in and tells the class about the ongoing new recruits for the Student council officer's captain.

Nobody seems to care about it but then all the attention comes in when he(Mr Ruckus) says "Kurt Hornswoggle you're the current front-runner candidate and the chances of you losing is one in a million"

"Ahahaha! I love the sound of that" Ralph laughs at Kurt sarcastically

Ralph, a little bit stuttled, comes to ask Jessa;

Ralph: What was that?

Jessa: Well it's a tradition the school follows...back then Ricki Tucker, the founder of this school studied in it and...

Ralph: The heck?? He studied in his own school? How'd he pay the teachers then?

Troy: How in the hell is she supposed to know that?

Miles: He's asking as if Jessa had been there when the school started during the... uh.....m...big bang times I guess

Jessa: Yap and he was the student leader's captain and ever since then, a new one is voted every summer year.

Hours later, all the students are gathered in the main hall as the new recruit is being announced.

"I don't see why we're here yet we all know it's Kurt" Ralph says

"Miracles happen" Kurt says while having an assasin's grin on his face

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ralph asks

"Listen" Kurt responds

Mr Ruckus announces the sudden change that the new recruit is none other than Raphael Kleinheiser. Everyone becomes astounded

Kurt looks at Ralph with an even more evil grin on his face.

Oh my God no!... he's an a**hole(referring to Kurt) he did this" Ralph exclaims as students as he is being taken on stage by students with Kurt leading

"No wait... I don't know what this is" he says

"Take the stage young scholar and tell us your ambitions" Mr Ruckus says to Ralph

Before Ralph says a thing, Kurt takes the mic knowing he(Ralph) is going to step down from the position

"Hey hey everyone Raphael is so amazed and happy of this and he just can't talk about it now cuz he needs to go private and freak out about it. He thanks you all.... meeting adjourned"

"Hold up....who do you think you are to adjour....." Ralph says and before he finishes, students scatter and Kurt upon walking away says "I already did"

Moments later at night the school throws a party as usual after a new captain is voted. Ralph plots to miss it but then Kurt had already told his Mom about him being the new captain of the school's SCO and shouldn't miss the party. Ralph then comes to the party uninterested.

"Oh snap! There he is!" Troy says upon seeing Ralph

"Oh hey Ra....I mean Mr Raphael" Cody says jokingly

"You should'a said captain Raphael" Miles says

"Y'all know what, I'm just gonna turn back and head straight home" Ralph says as he turns and before taking a step, Jessa, absolutely wasted pulls him stopping him from leaving "Whe-re you go-oing it's yo-our party" she says

Ralph: Okay first up why are you so drunk?

Jessa: I'm ju-ust hap-py for you

Ralph: Hmm....

Jessa: Ever thought of us d-ating?

Ralph: Huh??

Jessa: I mean.....we ma-atch do-on't you thi-ink?

She draws closer to Ralph and about to kiss him.

"What the hell are you doing Jess? It's me Raphael your friend!" Ralph says as he dodges Jessa's lips.

Ralph rushes out and takes a taxi as usual back home. On reaching home;

Mom: Hey what the....why are you back so early?

Ralph: Party is over Mom

Mom: In just two minutes?

Ralph: it's been thirty two minutes

Mom: Lemme give Kurt a call

She calls but then there's no answer.

"Maybe the music is too loud to pick up or he's home just like Ralph on bed " Rosalia calms the situation down.

Mom: Okay go get some rest kiddo

Ralph then walks to his room
