Chapter Six - Pizza Peace Offerings

"'Ello, Pip, dearest cousin of mine, how is your arm?" G inquired, when they reached Philip's table.

"I shall live, I see that you have brought a pizza box with you on your journeys?" Philip answered, eyeing the pizza box.

"May you let my company and I display our names upon your arm cast before discussions of the pizza?" G asked.

Philip nodded and pulled a sharpie out of his back pocket. "Most certainly." He said.

"Can you guys maybe not talk like fancy British ladies this year?" Theodosia asked after the football players finished signing Philip's cast. "I've been dealing with it since 7th grade, can we have a year without it?"

"Ah, It seems like you still accompany yourself with this...young girl. G said, staring Theo down.

"This young girl will fight you." Theodosia said, standing up in her seat with her fists raised.

"Let's not, Theo, we already broke someone's arm, we don't need another broken bone." G said, waving his arm that wasn't holding the pizza box dismissively. Despite being the football captain, G was a bit afraid of Theodosia Burr.

"Speaking of broken bones," Eston cut in "when are you getting your cast removed, Philip?"

"In about six weeks." Philip said, still looking at the pizza box.

"About Halloween, then?" Dick asked.

"Three days before Halloween, October 28th." Philip said.

"Shame," Dick said "you could have dresses up as a mummy with the cast."

"Well during those six weeks the football team would like to offer you and your friends pizza every Monday and Friday, to resolve any, ah, hard feelings that may remain after what happened." G continued after Dick's interruption.

"I'm hard." Dick muttered. Eston punched him in the arm.

Philip's eyes lit up, along with David's, who was sitting next to him.

Philip tried to reach for a slice from the now open pizza box, but David pushed him out of the way, desperate to get off of school lunch.

"Hey! Cripple gets to go first!" Philip yelled at David, who had already gotten a slice.

"Shut up Philip! You aren't a cripple!" David yelled back.

While the two were arguing the rest of Philip's table each quietly got a slice, emptying the box.

"Why is there no more pizza left?" Philip complained, after reaching a truce with David.

"First dibs." Will shrugged, finishing his slice.

"This is flat out bullying, you guys. Don't bully the cripple." Philip said quietly.

Frances shrugged, not willing to give up her piece of pizza.

"I have an untouched piece back at the table, if you want that, Philip." George cut in.

Philip looked at him and smiled like George had just offered to make him king of the world. "I would love that!' Philip said eagerly.

Together the two made their way to the senior football table.

"Ayy, Philly, can we sign your cast?" One of the footballers at the table asked the second Philip and George arrived.

Philip nodded and held out his sharpie to the kid.

The eight people there (not including G, Eston, Dick, or George) lined up to sign Philip's cast while George handed Philip the piece of pizza he had been promised.

Philip grinned. "I feel like a celebrity." He said.
