Dumb and Dumbbell

In the third chapter of the Hege Story, Hendrix makes a move.

Description

Dumb and Dumbbell is the third chapter of Level 1 of The Hege Story.

Synopsis

Hendrix has a plan to get Hegena back.

Here we get to know the backstory for the events that took place in the previous chapter — Off on the Wrong Foot — in which Hendrix and Hegena are out on a date at the restaurant at the The Hegilton Hotel.

Two weeks prior to that evening at Hegilton, Hendrix is working out at The Iron Paw with his buddies. During the workout session, he expresses his frustration over Hegena souring on him lately, and instead giving “the loser” Hege more attention.

Hendrix’s buddy Ricky then tells him to snap out of it and go win her back. In Ricky’s mind it’s all very simple: the road to a woman’s heart is paved with shopping.

Ricky’s advice actually helps Hendrix to snap out of it. Realizing he understands what Hegena wants, he comes up with a plan to get her back. Approaching Hegena by her locker at Hegeville High, Hendrix then plays on her compassion to get back on her good graces.

The chapter ends with Hendrix promising to take Hegena shopping for shoes and then dinner at the Hegilton.

Notable Appearances

This chapter introduced Ricky, Hendrix’s bodybuilding friend. He is bigger than Hendrix, but not as well proportioned.

Location wise, both the The Iron Paw and Hegeville High were seen for the first time.

We get to see two of Hegena’s girlfriends hanging out by her locker, but we don’t get to know their names.

Release

The chapter was released on the HEGE website and announced in Hegequarters on 8 November 2026. [1]
