UnOrdinary

Chapter 48

"I can get the decorations for the gym."

"I'll help set up the gym."

We were doing out parts and deciding what to do in the gym.

After awhile, we heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Isen called out.

"John."

All of us looked at each other. "Why is he here now?"

"Yeah, we just planned who's going to do what."

"Come in." Isen sighed.

John walked in and sat within our circle.

No one said a word.

"So, what's the plan?"

"Well, we have a plan, I don't know about you." Sera remarked.

"What do you mean?"

"She means is we have everything planned, and everyone knows their roles."

"What about me?"

"You were late, that's your fault."

"No it's not! I was kept back because a teacher needed me."

I didn't believe him for a second. Why would a teacher need him? They know he's on the committee, so they should know we have a meeting after school.

"And what did this teacher need you for?" Sera mustn't have believed him.

"I uhh.." he didn't seem to have an answer.

We were all staring at him, waiting for an answer.

"Did you lie?" Isen questioned.

Silence filled the room.

I figured he lied. John is acting a whole lot different lately. I don't think he's avoiding me because I'm dramatic. Something else is up.

"John?"

"He must be lying."

"John!"

"What!" He jumped.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"Well you're clearly lying. Also you've seemed distant lately."

"No I'm not."

We all just stared at him.

"John, tell us the truth, it get out." Isen commanded.

John said nothing, and left.

"Wow."

"What is he keeping from us that he would be willing to leave than tell the truth?"

"Whatever it is, it can't be good."

"You got that right."

"Does Kami know?"

They all turned towards me, and I threw my arms up. "I know nothing."

"Aren't y'all dating though?"

I stared, then looked down. "Don't think so, not anymore." I looked away.

"Why?"

"I know." Blyke jumped in. "Well, I know what he told me, though I'm starting to think it's not the reason for all of this?"

"What was it?"

"He told me to not tell Kami, but I believed she needed to know. He said that Kami's too dramatic and he 'just wants space' but after seeing what just happened, I don't believe that's the reason."

"It can't be the full reason. What John said might have been partially right, but there has to be something more to it."

Suddenly I felt my phone buzz.

"What is it Kami?"

"I don't know." I picked up my phone and seen an alert. "Oh no."

"What?"

"Something happened, and I think I know who did it."

"Who?"

"John."

"What's the alert?"

"School cancelled tomorrow due to 'unexpected disturbances'."

"What do you think that means?"

I shrugged. "But I think as duty of being a Royal, I need to find out. I feel like I need to protect the student body from 'unexpected disturbances'."

"I'm coming." Blyke jumped up.

"So am I." And then Sera spoke up.

"We are Royals too."

"I agree," I turned towards the door. "Let's go, you three can continue to discuss if you like, just keep us updated."

"Got it!" Amber called as we walked out.

I started running towards the school, with Blyke and Sera following behind.

We walked in and the first thing I noticed was rubble all over the ground.
