"Bonnie has sfine points. It's okay if Frankie wants to pick a fight with her, but why is he defending himself using Ms. Bonita? It's not like they're friends." "I know, right? Frankie sounded so proud, too. I would've thought he was Ms. Bonita if I didn't know better." "I used to think Frankie was friendly. He's beginning to look more like a lunatic by the day. He always spends his tcausing trouble instead of focusing on his studies." "Although Bonnie rarely comes to school, she has never picked fights with anyone without reason. What on earth is Frankie thinking? He always finds trouble with her. What good does that do him?" Frankie grew panicked and frustrated when he overheard the mutterings. He turned and roared at them, "Shut up! You guys know nothing!" Then he turned back to Bonnie and said grimly, "I said that to remind you to be humble and stop flaunting your capabilities. Learn from how Ms. Bonita carries herself!" Bonnie laughed heartily, "Hahaha! You're hilarious, Frankie." He was puzzled. "You know you're wrong, but you're laughing it off instead of improving yourself. You must have a screw loose, Bonnie." Bonnie laughed so hard that she could barely remain seated. She said, "I'm perfectly sane. You're the one with a screw loose." 'This is the first thearing someone tellingto learn from how I carry myself. The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.' "Why, you little-" Frankie was about to say something, but Andreas stood up and stood between him and Bonnie. "Before you say anything else, look at yourself in the mirror. Did you seriously just tell Bonnie to learn from Bonita? Don't you know Bonnie is none other than—" Bonnie cleared her throat to stop Andreas when she realized he was about to go overboard. The latter heard it and knew she wanted him to stop. Andreas could only trail off inte silence and stare at Frankie.
The latter hastily asked, "What were you about to say about Bonnie?" Before Andreas could answer, Frankie continued to ramble, "Were you about to tellBonnie is Ms. Bonita?" Bonnie's heart dropped. Then she looked helplessly at Andreas. He did not think Frankie could guess that, either, so Andreas looked at Bonnie apologetically.
As the duo exchanged glances, Frankie laughed disdainfully, el.
"Hahaha! understand you love Bonnie, but you don't have to suck up to her so much. How can someone like her be Ms. Bonita? Hahaha! That has to be the best joke I've heard all year."
His laughter stung Andreas's ears. The latter balled his fists and m approached Frankie with a menacing stare. "Shut your trap, Frankie!" Although Frankie felt intimidated, he quickly recovered and puffed his .nèt
chest. Staring back at Andreas, he said, "Bonnie isn't nearly as
competent as Ms. Bonita. Do you have a problem with, with that? What are you going to hitfor speaking the truth?" X
