Narrator: Some say all bad things happens in pairs of 3's. I'm wondering what will happen to Asia and Jeremy?
"Mmmm?" I said rubbing my eyes.
Night time already? I must've been really tired. Then I noticed my parents. They were hovering over my me like I was the last of a rare species. I knew I should've never trusted the Ollin's. Well really it's just Jeremy's mother. She's very two faced and tries to hard to be perfect. This was a while ago when school was still in session. I'm not even making this up. I was there.
*Flash back*
"Mom tomorrow we're having a bake sale at school. Mr.Cuttlefish our teacher wants to know what will you be bringing. Asia's mom is bringing cheese cake cherry flavor, and some banana nut muffins. Mmmm I can't wait to taste them." He said licking his lips.
"Well I'll be making sure mines is better than hers." She laughed.
Right then and there I wanted to break her in half. For talking about my momma's cooking.
"I'm bringing brownies, cheese cake, carrot cake, macadamian cookies, and that spicy chilli. You know the kind I'm talking about." She paused and looked at Jeremy. "The one you love Jeremy." She said with confidence.
Jeremy smiled at his mother, then turned towards me with a gagging face.
"You and your father will both be staying up late tonight to help me prepare."
"Yes mother..." Jeremy said putting on a apron.
*End of flash back*
Now here goes the explanation processes, which I still never got around to thinking out what I was going to say.
I sat up in bed. Maybe I can cry and then they'll talk to me later when I'm feeling better.
*Police sirens coming from outside*
Nah maybe not! Huh...
*Face palm*
"Asia you've got a lot of explaining to do and I want it now. Do you know how long we've been up searching for you along with the Ollin's? Or sitting in the living room with the front door wide open hoping you'll come home one night. We even payed a private dective $10,000. In hope they'll be able to find you. Do you know?" My mom shouted before breaking down in tears.
Well first off who told them to go pay a private detective? Like come on now are you that gullible? When they could have the police find me for free. Secondly, sleeping with the front door open is easy access for a burglar to get in. Unless police were watching our house. Like I was saying before I don't like Mrs.Ollin I don't see how my mom can ever consider her one of her close friends.
"Mom, dad, I don't know what has gotten into me." I said trying to sound convincing.
"You're grounded until the end of highschool! Unless you help the police by answering a few questions." Father said pointing to my room door.
He wanted me to go downstairs. I guess they're in the living room. Wait have they already asked Jeremy? I wonder how his parents are taking this. Jeremy's a good boy, but he also tends to talk to much. I hope he doesn't say everything. Matter of fact, if I can get out of here without the police seeing me I can prepare Jeremy, and we can get our story right.
*At the Ollin's house*
"I should go talk to him." His father responded.
"I'll go talk to him first. He needs his mother. And I can gurantee you he will tell me the truth." She said kissing her husband forehead.
*Walks into his room*
"Son what happened? Why didn't you come home that night." His mom said handing him some fresh lemonade.
"Thanks mom. Well you see it's hard to recall." He said rubbing his nogen. "At first, Asia and I were suppose to be walking her dog, because like humans they need proper health and exercise."
"Oh I knew it had something to do with her! That girl is not a good influence. You need to stop being her friend." She said snatching back his lemonade.
"Mom it isn't so. Some of this was my fault too. She's a very good friend and would never put me in harms way. In fact, she's the only friend I have. I don't know if you've notice since you been so "busy". But I don't like the other kids at school and they don't like me." He sighed.
"Mmm!" She said rolling her eyes.
"Anyways on with the story. We stopped here first to feed the dog. The dog got tired and fell fast asleep. So we decided to let him rest."
"You mean that mungy bum!" She shouted.
"Are you going to let me talk or not?" He said quietly.
When he's mad sometimes he gets very quiet.
"Okay sorry, continue."
"Thank you mother! Now where was I? Oh yes, since Spike was sleeping we still went for a walk, because I wanted some fresh air and figured by the time we came back he'll wake up from his nap. Now somehow we got lost and mixed up our location. So I thought let's go to this friendly looking place and see if we can use their phone, because I left mines at home and wasn't sure if Asia brought hers. But how the cookie crumbled the person wasn't as friendly after all." Jeremy said standing up."Are you going to let me finish my lemonade?" He began raising one eyebrow and extended a hand to the cup.
She then handed it over.
*His father walks in*
"The police will be over shortly."
"Who called 'em?" His mother asked.
"Mrs.Banks."
"Good redence." She said exhaling.
I have to go talk to Asia. To see what she said. Don't get me wrong she's a good girl, but she's a little too honest.
"Oh okay. Can I be excused?" I said sitting the glass down.
His parents gave him wild looks.
"Lemonade just goes through me." He looked at them oddly.
Once he was out of his room, he took off to the the front door.
*Outside my house*
Good thing all the cops were in the living room. I climbed out my parents window. Ha...they thought I would go talk to the police before my best friend, they must not really know me. My eye's must be playing tricks on me, because I see Jerms running over from across the street. Shouldn't be inside getting scolded at? Guess not... might as well meet him half. So I ran down my drive way and waited in the middle of the street. He came closer coming to a stop in front of me.
"Did you talk to them already?"
"No, I was coming to you to see if you called the police."
"My mom said your mom called them."
"Go figure, my mom said the same exact thing about yours, but to my father while I was pretending to sleep."
"Well who called the police?"
We both thought for a moment in silence, and came to the same conclusion.
"No..." Jeremy said.
"I can't beli-" I began.
"Smiles." We both whispered.
"But why would he want the police at our house?"
"Probably because we RAN!"
"Wait I think he's trying to use them to get us back."
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it Asia. Why else would you send the police to someone house. He's planning on hurting us."
What have I done to him?Jeremy sharpness is beginning to scare me, but I can't blame him for taking after me and not his own mother.
"So what's the plan?"
"There Is no plan. We just need to tell the police what they want to hear. And let them do their job which is to protect us."
We waved good bye, and walked back to our sides of the street. I came in through the garage. The police were sitting around on our sofa's goofing off watching football.
"Ahem!"
I tried my best to get their attention. But they didn't notice me until I turned off the t.v.
"Back to business." I said.
Tapping a guy shoulder from behind who I am guessing was the detective. He then turned around and I was almost at a lost for words. His eye's were so beautiful. Hazel and green combined like oreos in a shake. His hair was also on fleek. Curly and hard to resist. I had to stop observing him, because I'm sure he would've notice by now.
*Fan girling*
"Yes?"
"Hi you're the detective?"
I extended my hand for a hand shake.
"Your Asia?" He said suprised.
"Yes!" I nodded.
Then we got down to "business".
"Hey which football team do you like?" I turned back on the t.v sitting down beside him.
"The team on the left."
"They suck! C'mon man you should go for the team on the right. Besides I seen them play before. They always lose. Guess that makes you a loser." I teased.
"Oh yeah, how about we make a bet?"
"Okay here's the bet. You don't question my friend and I if I win." I proposed.
"Mmm seems interesting."
"But if you lose..." He began.
"I won't." I smiled.
*A couple of minutes later*
"Ahhh well played" He smiled shaking my hand. "Just how did you know you would win?"
"I didn't." I laughed.
Then we both laughed together. That's when the rest of the cops came in from outside.
"You got her witness report?" Another detective asked.
"Mmm yep her story doesn't help our investigation." The guy winked at me.
"What did she say?"
I chimmed in, "He's already told you enough. Now can you please leave the premises?"
"The kid from across the streets parents said, "To ask Asia, because our son is lieing to you officers." Apperantley you both our lieing and trying to hide something which we will figure out. With your participation. Unless you want to go to juvenile."
The police then rounded up everyone in town to my house. Using a megaphone to address the situation. Alot of parents offered to split up their kids In different cars for rides. Which was fine with the police as long as every car followed behind them. Jeremy and I asked to ride with the police. Only because we both knew if our parents were the ones taking us they'll be yelling at us and, smacking us upside the head at the same time. Until we get to Smiles Mansion. Not the way I want to spend my time. They allowed it and we ran off to ask the detective I talked to. He was cool with it.
"Thank you sir." I said politely.
"No problem little lady."
I need me one of him. Sweet, but fierce. Man I can't wait for high school to start. But let's hope I live to see it.
