Dodgeball City

One afternoon, after school, the Recess Gang (minus Russ) were having sparkling peach drinks at Morrison’s (my 98th Street School counterpart of Kelso’s). Russ then came in and played his guitar. Another kid then came in, saw Russ and called him “Diaval.” Russ then went out of the store. The Gang asked the kid why he had called Russ Diaval and the kid explained that at Zhessie Zhames Elementary School (one of the school Russ had been to), Russ was the fastest dodgeball player ever.

The Recess Gang asked Russ about it while he was playing guitar to Harold (my 98th Street counterpart of Hector), but he denied it. CJ then threw a dodgeball at Russ and he caught it at fast speed. CJ then asked Dawson if they could have a match: 4th graders vs 5th graders and Dawson agreed. They then asked Russ to play it with them, but he insulted the marbles, to which Rigelli took his guitar. Russ then explained that as Diaval, he threw a dodgeball at a little kid at Zhessie Zhames and after that, he never played dodgeball again.

CJ asked Dawson if they could bail, but Dawson refused. Everyone had to give up their marbles, even Rachel. That Recess, the 4th and 5th graders were ready. All the bullies were on Dawson’s side. Whistle Boy did the sound of “go.” Soon, Harold got on the battlefield and Dawson hit HIM with a dodgeball. Russ recognised that as an act of cowardice, dressed up as Diaval and beat the bullies with a dodgeball. The Gang asked him if he would beat the 6th graders, but Russ refused and walked into the sunset.

The End.
