Ch. 8 - Duck Pond
Summer Wind (A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
Chapter 8 – Duck Pond
The sun was just beginning to set as Will and Layla walked down the pathway towards the park’s lake. Will laughed as he listened to the conversation between the couple behind him.
“Stop trying to give me a wedgie, Zach! You’re really having trouble with the concept of what a boyfriend does, aren’t you?” Magenta sounded more annoyed than mad as she fended Zach off for the third time.
“Better you that he’s giving a wedgie to than me,” interjected Ethan.
The close knit group of friends were burnt out from studying and looking to blow off some steam before going back to start on the English essays that were due tomorrow. Grabbing Layla’s hand to pull her closer, Will was about to whisper a few suggestions for how they could spend the next thirty minutes when he heard a familiar voice coming up from the bottom of the hill.
“You can not seriously expect me to believe that this is a defenseless creature?” It was the voice of his classmate, Warren Peace. Will stopped at the top of the hill to survey the scene below.
Warren was standing near the lake with a brown haired girl in jogging pants. They were both backing away from a hissing goose.
Zach, Magenta, and Ethan caught up with the couple in time to hear the girl reply, “He’s only defending his territory. You would do the same thing.”
Will shushed Ethan and Zach before either boy could call down to Warren, and alert him of their presence. “Wait, I want to see why he’s been ditching us for the last few weeks.” Pulling the small group into the bushes, Will watched the interplay between the two figures by the lake.
“Whose idea was it to feed the geese anyway?” Warren sounded more exasperated than pissed at the moment.
“Listen, your mother thinks we were at your house to get bread to feed the ducks so we are going to feed the ducks,” the dark haired girl insisted. Will could see that she was holding a half empty bag of crumbs.
“Well, at the moment, there’s this whole problem of not being able to get near the ducks.” The goose hissed again advancing on the couple of teenagers. Warren raised his hand menacingly. “And right now, roast goose is sounding pretty good.”
The girl swatted at Warren’s hand, finally grabbing his arm and pulling him further backwards. “You can not fry him.”
“Why not? We serve goose at the restaurant?” Warren swung the girl around in front of himself, mockingly using her as a shield. “Besides, I said ‘roast goose’ not ‘fried’”
“First off, the feathers would ruin the taste. Second, I’m pretty sure the park officials would frown upon it.” She then shrieked as the goose waddled forward a few more feet.
Warren laughed, then nuzzled her neck, kissing her ear.
“Whoa, talk about invasion of the body snatchers. Who stole Warren and replaced him with a pod person?” Zach was peering through the underbrush, beside Will.
“Has somebody got a camera? I want to get a picture of Warren Peace smiling.” Ethan adjusted his glasses for a better look.
Another shriek drew their attention back to the couple. Both Warren and the girl had tumbled to the ground in front of the goose. The girl seemed to be laughing uncontrollably as Warren shielded her body from the attacking goose. It appeared to be biting Warren repeatedly on the back of his knees.
“Oh, shit. Your father should fire those security guards and just buy a couple of geese to patrol the school. They would be much more cost effective.” He grimaced as the goose pecked him again. “Stop laughing. I am protecting you, you know. You could show some appreciation.”
“For future reference, falling on a person doesn’t count as protecting them.” She laughed again as the goose hissed menacingly. “If you didn’t have such huge feet, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”
“Yes, I can see how the size of my feet has caused most of our problems today. That makes perfect sense.”
Despite the brusque tone of voice that Warren had used, to Will’s amazement, he next saw Warren tenderly brush a leaf from the girl’s hair, trailing his fingers down the side of her face. “You wound me, Jamie. I was only looking after your best interest.”
The girl wrapped her arms around Warren’s neck as he began to kiss her gently. When he saw her close her eyes, he sent a small stream of fire back towards the feet of the goose. The goose hissed once more than waddled back to the lake.
“Okay, that’s what I’m talking about.” Will heard Zach say. “C’mon. Let’s go find out who she is.”
“Are you sure about this? He doesn’t really look like he wants to be disturbed.” Ethan gulped nervously.
“Yeah, guys. Leave them alone.” Hearing this comment, Will looked over at Layla. She was watching the couple with a bemused expression on her face.
“Layla’s right. Tomorrow’s soon enough to heckle Warren. Let’s go.” Will grabbed Layla’s hand and they backed away through the bushes.
“Now, that is what a boyfriend is supposed to do,” Magenta swatted Zach on the head as they started up the hill. “Protect and defend.”
The group headed back the way they had entered the park, unaware that Warren and Jameson were not the only ones being observed that evening.
Thanks to all the readers who have reviewed so far! Your comments are appreciated. Let me know what you think so far about the storyline and if anything has been unclear. Do I need to be more detailed in my descriptions or the thoughts of the characters?
