Chapter 5 Do's And Don't

The day started with discussions about the previous battle between Ultra Ai and the super humanoids. Everyone in school was chatting about it. Some said it was a crazy battle, while others loved it. People had confused the hero of that day to be like some sort of sci-fi superhero they'd seen in movies. Most of the city that was destroyed was under construction, but luckily, Vill-City Junior High School was untouched by the collateral damage.

Peter and Mark walked to class together when a beautiful girl passed by them. It was Debbie again, who seemed to be Peter's crush. They'd known each other for a long time and were very good friends. Peter didn't want anything awkward to ruin their friendship.

"When are you gonna tell her that you... You know... Like like her?" Mark asked.

"I don't know if that's a good idea, Mark," Peter replied. "What if she doesn't like me back?"

"How would you know, and you haven't even tried asking her out since kindergarten?" said Mark. "You guys were so close, way beyond besties. Like you two were meant for each other and the chemistry between you both. My man. It's on another level."

Suddenly, Rita joined their conversation. She might have overheard them and encouraged Peter to talk to Debbie. Rita revealed a little secret to Peter that Debbie constantly talked about how sweet and charming Peter was and would be proud to date him.

"Word of advice, bro. You never heard it from me," said Rita before going to her separate class.

At lunch hour, Peter and Mark were together, while Rita was with her girlfriends, including Debbie. Peter was mustering up the courage to approach Debbie when Tyson and Jerry came with their gangs. They were the big bullies in the school, always picking on others.

"Where are you going, Peter?" said Tyson, who pushed Peter back to his seat. "You think this is over? We've got you now, buddy."

"Tyson, what's your problem? We've done nothing to you," said Mark.

"Shut up, scumbag. He's talking to Mr. Wonders here," replied Jerry, which made their gang laugh at the McCoys.

Suddenly, Tyson noticed Peter staring in Debbie's direction and said something out loud to get everyone's attention.

"Hey, everyone," said Tyson. "Peter loves Debbie."

The entire place was amazed and wowed at Tyson's statement. Some whispered quietly when Tyson started talking aggressively to Peter, calling him a weak boy and saying he would never get the girl. Then, all of a sudden, this motivated Peter as he stood up to challenge Tyson to a ruckus after accepting the fact that he was in love with Debbie, which made her blush a little as everyone cheered for Peter's courage.

"Finally, it's about time," Rita whispered. "I guess all he needed was a little push."

"Oh no, you're so dead, McCoy," said Tyson to Peter. "Four o'clock at the alley where no one will separate us." Tyson and his gang left them with a warning, and Mark shivered in his underpants.

"What have you done, Peter?" said Mark. "Tyson doesn't fight fair, and he's going to kick your sorry arse. And I mean it because last time I carried you all the way home, remember, despite the fact you had the upper hand, which made Tyson include his gang."

"Not today, Mark," replied Peter. "This time it's going to be different, with or without his gang." Peter said confidently with a smile on his face. "After all, that was a long time ago, or have you forgotten what happened at the gym the other day?" he said with a smile.

"We're so screwed," Mark whispered.

Normal school activities went on as usual, and once the day was over, news of the ruckus spread like wildfire. Most students gathered their belongings to head home, while others followed them to the site of the incident.

Rita and Debbie went with some of their friends.

"Oh Peter! Please be careful," said Rita.

"Please be quick about it," said Mark, who held onto Peter's bag.

Both opponents were set, bouncing in circles. "I'm gonna make you regret this, McCoy," said an angry Tyson, who threw the first blow and missed uncomfortably when grabbed by his collar shirt by Peter.

"It's too early to go down, wimp," said Peter with a smile.

Angry Tyson got back up and started throwing all his attacks at Peter, who averted all without a single finger laid on him. Everyone was impressed with Peter's moves and started chanting his name, including his crush, Debbie, who also chanted his name.

Angry Tyson became very upset and charged towards Peter, who averted his punch and set a foot on his path that made him fall to the muddy side on his face. Everyone laughed at the humiliated Tyson, who summoned his gang to beat up Peter upon hearing the "boos" on Tyson. He ignored the boo comments and gave orders to his gang to beat up Peter, but unfortunately, things didn't turn out in their favor as Peter surprisingly defeated them all alongside Jerry. They barely laid a finger on him; he was swift and agile about it.

Everyone cheered for Peter as Tyson and his gang, in humiliation, walked away.

"I knew you could do it, bro. I never doubted you," said Mark. "We're finally free."

"I never knew you secretly took karate lessons," said Rita with a smile.

Then, all of a sudden, Debbie came to him as Rita and Mark gave them some space. "Get 'em, tiger," Mark whispered with his lips, which Peter read and smiled.

"You were really awesome back there," said Debbie with a cute smile.

"And you're pretty... I mean, amazing...uh... I.. mean, your dress is beautiful," said the nervous Peter with a stammering voice.

Debbie chuckled as she invited Peter to her house party on Saturday, of which her super wealthy awesome parents won't be around on that day. Peter accepted while being kissed by Debbie on the lips as she left with Rita.

Peter stood still in amazement when Mark caught him in the act.

"Wow, dude! You're one lucky guy," said Mark, as they made their way home.

The day of the house party finally arrived, on a Saturday evening. Peter was getting ready in his room and asked Mark to accompany him to the party, but Mark declined. Rita had already prepared herself, dressed in her beautiful blue and white gown. She informed their parents about Debbie's house party, and they gave their consent.

"Peter, hurry up! I don't want to miss the fun part," yelled Rita.

Peter came running down the stairs dressed in black and white, with a red hood lining.

"Not bad," said Rita with a smirk on her face.

"Mom! Dad, we're out," yelled Rita.

"Hold on, sweetie," said Jenna, who kissed Rita and Peter on their foreheads. "Don't be late, okay, my love?"

"Eww!" said Sophie, who was distracted from her TV. "Peter is going to a girl's party."

"His crush finally said yes!" said Rita.

"Wow, that's my man," said Mason.

"Rita!" Peter said quietly in a shy tone. "We talked about this."

"So, who's the pretty one?" Mason asked.

"Debbie!" Rita replied.

"Isn't that your rich, spoiled friend?" said Sophie.

"She's not spoiled, Sophie... She's super nice," said Rita. "And since she's got everything at her beck and call... So yeah, you can call her that."

"Told you so," replied Sophie. *Rita smiled.

"Oh, shit," said Peter, who hurriedly grabbed Rita by the hand to escape questioning. "Dad, we've gotta go now. It's already time."

"Love you both," said Jenna and Mason as the kids left, slamming the door.

"And tell her I said thanks again for the Barbie Princess doll!" yelled Sophie to them as they left.

They arrived at the house party, which was so noisy, rad, crazy, and loud, with enough food and drinks for everyone. Housekeepers, both male and female, helped organize the party to be awesome as they attended to everyone's needs. It was a very big mansion and very well decorated with golden-tiled floors, diamond doors with silver and gold doorknobs. The hostess was dressed in a beautiful, well-fashioned golden gown, showing most of her beautiful skin.

"This place is amazing, Rita," said Peter in amazement. "I'm gonna grab a drink, do you want one?"

"Nah, I'm good," replied Rita, before being spotted by Debbie who invited her to join her and her rich friends. They chatted and had fun together after the introduction, and Debbie asked about Peter's whereabouts, to which Rita responded.

Peter stood outside on the balcony, admiring the city and communicating with Ultra AI.

"Does she turn you on, Peter McCoy?" asked Ultra AI.

"No, why do you ask?" replied Peter nervously, with a smile.

"Your vitals are unstable when you're around Debbie Rich," said Ultra AI.

"How do you know her surname?" asked Peter.

"I'm an AI beyond your understanding," replied Ultra AI. "Would you like me to update you on her profile, Peter?" it asked.

"Uh, I guess," replied Peter.

"Debbie Rich is the only daughter of the Rich family, a golden child of Mr. and Mrs. Rich," said Ultra AI. "She has over two billion followers on WhatsApp, she's famous, quite talented and skilled, highly protected by her parents, and has a huge crush on you, Peter McCoy. Would you like me to continue, or is there something else you would like to discuss?" asked Ultra AI.

"Do you think I should let Debbie know about us?" asked Peter. "I mean, what could go wrong?"

"There are things you don't do, Peter McCoy. There are dos and don'ts," replied Ultra AI.

"Like what?" asked Peter, when a voice behind him sounded like Debbie's, saying "Are you trying to get away from the fun?"

"Debbie!" exclaimed Peter in surprise. "You look gorgeous."

"Thanks, Peter!" replied Debbie with a smile, as she came closer to him. They chatted for a while, had fun together at the party, and enjoyed each other's company. But suddenly, Debbie took Peter by the hand and led him upstairs for something extra special.

Meanwhile, at the party, Rita started to look for Peter so they could leave. During this time, Peter's AI informed him about Rita's concern. While Peter was enjoying his time with Debbie Rich, he became aware of Rita's search.

Eventually, a random stranger informed Rita about Peter's location, and she went to the room where she found them making out in bed. Debbie went to the door, and upon seeing Rita, apologized and allowed Peter to leave with her. They were given VIP escort from Debbie's security in her luxurious car.

When they arrived home, Mark was still awake and asked Peter about his time with Debbie. Peter replied that it was great, and Mark commented that it wasn't difficult. Peter went to bed with a smile on his face, and so did the rest of the McCoy family.
