18. Things Get Ugly

CHAPTER 18 THINGS GET UGLY Kipper found the envelope in his shoe just after wrestling practice ended. He opened it. Inside were two friendship bracelets and a note addressed to him. Kipper proudly slipped each friendship bracelet onto his wrist and admired them. He couldn't wait to show his buddies...

摔角练习刚结束，基珀就在鞋子里发现了信封。 他打开了它。里面是两只友谊手镯和一张写给他的便条。 基珀自豪地把每一个友谊手镯戴在手腕上，欣赏着它们。 他迫不及待地向他的伙伴们展示……

...who were all out in the hallway staring at their phones in shock. "Look what I got!" Kipper said, proudly waving his wrist at his goons. Kipper's friends, who were all reading the same text on their phones, looked up at Kipper with their mouths hanging open in disbelief. "What?" said Kipper. "They're just friendship bracelets!"

．．．他们都在走廊里震惊地盯着手机。 “看我得到了什么！”Kipper说，骄傲地向他的打手挥舞着手腕。 Kipper的朋友们都在手机上读着同一条短信，他们抬头看着Kipper，嘴巴张得大大的，难以置信。 “什么？”基珀说。“它们只是友情手镯！”

Kipper's three friends looked at each other like Kipper had gone completely mad. "I don't want to make friendship bracelets with you, dude," said Loogie. "Me neither," said the other two bullies simultaneously. "What are you talking about?" said Kipper. He unlocked his locker and opened it up.

Kipper的三个朋友面面相觑，好像Kipper完全疯了一样。 “我不想和你做友情手镯，伙计，”鲁吉说。 “我也是。”另外两个恶霸同时说。 “你在说什么？”Kipper说。 他把储物柜的锁打开了。

"HEY! WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!?" Kipper screamed. "SOMEBODY'S BEEN IN MY LOCKER!!!" Loogie, Bugg, and Finkstein saw the Susie Sunshine Friendship Bracelet Kit and shook their heads in disgust. Kipper kicked the kit into the hallway and stomped on it. Then he tore open his duffel bag. It was empty. "AAAAUGH!" Kipper screamed. "SOMEBODY STOLE ALL MY MONEY!" Kipper looked up and down the hall frantically. "When I find out who's been in my locker, I'm gonna... I'm gonna..." "Kiss them?" asked Finkstein. The other two bullies laughed.

“嘿!这是什么鬼东西？！？”腌鱼尖叫。 “有人进过我的储物柜！！”鲁吉、巴格和芬克斯坦看到了苏西阳光友谊手链套件，厌恶地摇了摇头。 Kipper把套件踢到走廊里，然后跺了一脚。 然后他撕开了他的行李袋。 它是空的。“AAAAUGH !”腌鱼尖叫。 “有人把我所有的钱都偷走了！”基珀疯狂地上下打量着大厅。 “等我发现谁进过我的储物柜，我就…… 我要……”“吻他们？”芬克斯坦问。 另外两个恶霸笑了。

Kipper grabbed Finkstein by his shirt collar and shook him back and forth like a rag doll. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!?" he screamed. "This!" said Finkstein. He showed Kipper the text that had been sent from Kipper's phone. "I-I-I DIDN'T WRITE THAT!!!" Kipper screamed. "Well, what's up with those friendship bracelets on your wrist, then?" asked Bugg. "The —the cheerleaders gave me those!" said Kipper.

基珀抓住芬克斯坦的衬衫领子，把他像布娃娃一样来回摇晃。 “你在说什么？！！？”他尖叫起来。 “这个！”芬克斯坦说。他给基珀看了基珀手机发出的短信。 “那不是我写的！！”腌鱼尖叫。 “那么，你手腕上的友谊手镯是怎么回事？”巴格问。 “是啦啦队给我的！”基珀说。

At that very moment, a group of cheerleaders was coming in from practice outside. "I'll prove it!" said Kipper. He showed the bracelets to the cheerleaders, waving his wrist at them like a lunatic. "You guys made these for me, right?" Kipper asked them, pointing desperately at the friendship bracelets. The cheerleaders gave Kipper a strange look. "Eeeeww," said Wendy Swan, the head cheerleader.

就在这时，一群拉拉队队员从外面训练回来了。 “我会证明的！”Kipper说。 他把手镯给啦啦队员看，像个疯子一样挥舞着手腕。 “你们是为我做的，对吧？”基珀绝望地指着友谊手镯问他们。 拉拉队员们奇怪地看了基珀一眼。 “嘿嘿，”啦啦队队长温迪·斯旺（Wendy Swan）说。
