Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 17: Frustration

It was the last day of school in that week and there was only one more day left in the following week to start the vacation. Dixie was walking in front of Kong Kollege and, minutes later, Diddy also arrived to greet each other.

"Diddy, do you know what we're going to do the other week?" Dixie asked with emotion.

"We're going on the vacation trip!" Diddy exclaimed in the same tone. "Have you already told Tiny, Kiddy and Chunky?"

"Of course, they're super excited. We haven't had any vacations like that in years."

"We're leaving!" they said in unison, high-fiving their hands with emotion.

"Oh, right, Dixie, I wanted to ask you also if we could go to the waterfalls today; there is... something I wanted to show you," Diddy said, smiling at her.

"Oh, okay. I'll see you this afternoon then," she replied smiling. "Are you going to show me somewhere new?"

"No, it's not a new place. It's just... Well, you'll see. It's an important thing."

"Anything important?" she asked curiously. "About what?"

"You'll find out later," Diddy finished with a smile.

They both continued to walk towards the classroom. This time, they were calm knowing that it was their last days in that school year, and they could not wait any longer to enjoy the vacations.

"How about it, you pair of mangy lizards?" Mandrew told them, passing by them along with the group.

Diddy and Dixie turned to look at the quartet in an annoyed way.

"Hi, lousy ape faces," Dixie replied in a mocking tone.

"Lousy apes," Melenky added, imitating her and making a mocking gesture. "Numbskull girl!"

"You are numbskulls!" contradicted Diddy in defense.

"Ohh, you are defending your... little girlfriend," Rocky added, and the others began to laugh mockingly... except for Jemky, who just looked at the two by rolling his eyes.

"Shut up!" Diddy exclaimed, annoyed at the reckless comment.

"Hey, monkey, seriously," Melenky continued, with every intention of annoying them. "Is she your girlfriend?" he added, pointing to Dixie.

Diddy and Dixie wanted to beat them up to shut up at once.

"No, and don't talk nonsense!" replied Diddy.

"Yeah, yeah, 'nonsense' you say," Mandrew exclaimed mockingly. "We'll see the two of you together."

"Ugh, you are so annoying!" replied Diddy, trying to downplay the matter. "Dixie is only my friend; I'd never see her any other way!"

"Ohhh!" the four exclaimed in an uproar tone at Diddy's answer.

Dixie, on the other hand, showed a sneaky frustrated look at Diddy.

"What?" Diddy exclaimed, confused to see that everyone looked at him in different ways.

"Good morning, sir students!" Mr. Pinky appeared, calling them all. "Class is about to begin! To the classroom everyone, please!"

The teacher went to the classroom to wait for his students to pass. His class began and continued normally. In short, he had been very strict, he spoke very firmly to the children and passed them to the front to solve complex exercises. But fortunately, that was already the last class of the school year; the following week they'd only have to submit their pyramids as final exams.

Later, the break hours had arrived, so all the kong children went out.

"Wait," Diddy said curiously as he was talking with Dixie in a corner. "Did Jemky really tell you that?... Tell me more."
