Lord of the Nerds

One Recess, the Recess Gang were playing kickball against Eric Dawson. Dawson kicked the ball and CJ moved to catch it, which she did, but broke her arm in the process.

After lunch, Mr Boyd said she had to got to Room 101. Dawson laughed at this, because this meant she had to spend Recess with the “Pale Kids,” who were the kids who choose to stay inside during Recess. Dawson told everyone about Tiny Jaywick who got sent to Room 101 and the Pale Kids “got” him.

CJ went to Room 101 where the Pale Kids were playing a Princess board game. They invited her to play. They got their Princess or Prince names by reciting their names backwards. Flint was “Prince Tniff,” Stephanie was “Princess Einahpets,” Carly was “Princess Ylrac,” and Randy was “Prince Ydnar,” CJ’s character was called “Princess JC.” CJ also got them interested in Senorita Fuchion. Eventually, “Princess JC” rescued Prince Tniff from the tower and won the game. However, CJ’s arm got better, so Tniff took her to a Princess comic book store, where an employee snapped at her, but Tniff defended her.

CJ also repaid their kindness by inviting them to join outdoors Recess, but they couldn’t get the jist of kickball, with one of them saying it “should be kickball-and-run-to-1st-place.” Dawson mocked them, which led to Tniff to defend them and to call Dawson a “geek.” Dawson then threatened to “do to him what he did to Tiny Jaywick.” The Pale Kids laughed at this, and Tniff replied by saying that HE is Tiny Jaywick, which got everyone and Dawson confused. Tniff said also that the Pale Kids are his friends and told CJ that he and the Pale Kids would rather spend recess indoors. Rigelli then asked CJ how you do “that thing with your fingers.” CJ thenshowed them.

The End.
