So I overheard Rodrick talking on his cell phone to someone. Sounded pretty suspicious, too. I heard his part of the conversation, and it went like this:"No, no, I can come meet you at the airport. Yea, it's totally cool, I can meet you there and pick you up in my van, bring you back here, it's all cool. No, my parents know, they're cool with it. Promise." A long pause, followed by Rodrick's footsteps across the room, then him again. "Now? Kay, i'll grab my keys and head out. Sure. Yea, bye." Mm mm, I think you won't.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I told Mom what I heard, so as Rodrick came downstairs, Mom took his keys before he could find them. First he looked on the counter, then went to the bathroom. "Mom, where are the pants I wore yesterday?" He hollered out. "Laundry room." She told him. Her arms were crossed. She was already not in the mood to put up with whatever Rodrick planned. He rushed past us to find the jeans. Checking pockets. And turning up empty. "Uh, hey Mom? You seen my keys?" And stepped back into the room. Mom sighed and shook the keys in her hand when she held them out. "Going somewhere?" She asked. He licked his lips and looked at me for a second then back to Mom. "Uh, no, just out." He answered. "Out... where?" Mom asked again. "Just, y'know. Out." Mom rolled her eyes and dropped the keys into his hand. He ran past her and out the door. A minute later, we could hear the engine start up and him back out of the drive way. Mom walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. I didn't know what else to do, so I called Rowley and invited him over.
A few minutes later, his dad dropped him off. I let him in and we went up to Rodrick's room to look through his stuff. I opened up a drawer and Rowley sat on his bed...and sat on his phone. He stood up and I picked it up before he could. I immediatly went to text messages. I saw some from some kid called "Veri". I opened it and read aloud. "Hey, so i'm gonna come over and visit! Can you pick me up at the airport tomorrow?" Then Rowley asked who Veri was. "I have no clue." I told him. I flipped through some other texts from her. I don't think Rodrick read any of his messages for six weeks. Then we heard his van pull up.
We ran out of his room after tossing his cell back on the bed. We looked out the window blinds to see if we could see her. Unfortunatly, she was behind his van. "Can you get that bag for me? My arms are full." We heard who we thought was Veri say. "Sure. Anything else or that all?" We heard Rodrick say. "No, that's all." And the trunk shut. A few steps and we heard the doorknob turn. Rowley and I jumped to sitting when Rodrick walked in first. He was carrying a suitcase and a canvas poster. He sort of stumbled in through the doorway, then in came Veri. If her hair were black, and she were taller, she could've passed off as Rodrick. But she was sort of short compared to Rodrick, but still taller than me and Rowley. And her hair was bleached blond, and she had streaks of red and pink in her hair. Then she flipped the hair out of her face and she wasn't so much like Rodrick anymore.
She was a little tan and her eyes were lined with black eyeliner all the way around. She had blue, green, and purple in her bangs. She was a little thick around the middle, but it was ok. She wore a black shirt with gray long sleeves and a chain design on it and dark blue shorts(and I mean short shorts)with a neon orange color. With black flipflops. She walked in like she owned the place and followed Rodrick to his room.
"I can't beleive it!" I said to Rowley. "I know! She needs to bleach her hair again, her roots are growing out!" He said. I looked at him for a moment before telling him what was really up. "No!" I said. "Oh. Then what?" He asked. "Rodrick has a girlfriend!"
