CHAPTER 4-PARTIES AND SLEEPOVERS
(Chase)
Holy Cheese!
Mom heard what I said. This must be a dream.
"Mom, did you hear what I said?" I asked. Feeling dumb for asking
"Sweetie, it's obvious that you like her! The way you look at her is just amazing. But, I'm proud of you." She said sleepily
"Wait, why are you proud of me?"
"You'll soon know." She chuckles and began to doze off.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
I wake up to see Sophie, Charlie, Cole, and my cousin, Maria. Mom was still sleeping and Sarah nowhere to be seen.
"Finally! You woke up! Chase, damn! You're like..a..a.." Cole tried to say but was speechless
"Shut up Cole!"
"Shush! Can't you two stay as friends for one day! I know you two can! So, put a sock in it!" Maria snapped. This never happens. Did World War Three happen when I was out?
"Can I go home now? I feel better. And I want to know who brought you four here?"
I was greeted by silence.
"Cole, Charlie. Is this your plan?"
"Um... It was Maria's idea!" The twins said in unison and pointed at Maria
"Really? Maria is this true?"
"Yeah," she said sadly, "It's because I don't want to see your stupid dad anymore ok? I hate him! He treats us like military people! And I don't like wearing pants!" She whined.
I chuckled. Then, they all burst into tears. I tried to fix the problem but, I just made it worse. I am so confused. I'm the worst person to deal with emotions.
"Ok! Cut it out!"
They all stop crying
"Listen, Cole and Charlie; call the nurse. Sophie and Maria stay with me, I don't want society to see you in pants! I want to see the old gals I used to see! Ok?!"
"Yeah!" They shout
"Shush! Mom's still sleeping!"
The ninja twins leave the room and Maria and Sophie; stayed right beside me.
A few minutes passed a nurse bursts into the room and behind her are the twins.
"What happened?" The nurse says
"Can I go home now?"
"You can go home when the doctor says so and you'll need to lay off your leg, Ok?"
"Kay," I said and the nurse goes out of the room leaves us.
"Guys! Wake mom up!"
We all tried our different antics to wake mom up. Until I got the idea to let the twins sing.
"Charlie, Cole! Sing Listen now!"
They both sing. They managed to wake mom up when they reach the highest note in that song.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
We all went home. I see my dad on the couch. I usher the little ones upstairs. I stay at the top of the stairs to eavesdrop on mom and dad.
"How could you almost kill our son!" My mom shouted
"I was drunk," Dad answered lazily
"You're pathetic." Mom spat
"So are you." He retorted
"At least, I don't run over kids on the streets!" She shouted. She sighed loudly, "you know what? Let's just get this over with." Mom finished calmly
"Sure."
"Ok, before that. Chase, eavesdropping isn't nice. Now go to another person's house or your room."
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
(Sarah)
I heard a lot of screaming in Chase's house. I still don't know how Chase crashed into a car.
Peanut Butter came out of hiding and started whining at me. I picked her up and scratched her ear.
I heard my phone getting tons of notifications and grabbed it to check out what was happening. I get this timely call from Alex. I pick up and she goes on to tell me that we're having a sleepover at her place and apparently everyone was allowed to go even me. She ended the call and I had to put Peanut Butter down to fix my stuff.
•~•~•~•~
Mom reminded me to leave before I get late to the sleepover. I had to rush packing my stuff because in the middle of packing I got distracted.
I started to jog to Alex's place to get there on time.
"So, Alex... what are we gonna do here?" Pam asks curiously
"Pam? Have you ever been to a sleepover?" Echo asked
"Well, um........no?"
"Then, Welcome to your first ever sleepover!" We all shout
We climb up the stairs and they're all giggling in different girly ways except for me and Pam who was very confused.
"So, What's first?" I ask
"Pizza!" Pam shouts
"Yeah! I'm kind-of hungry" Echo said
"Yeah! Let's go and get pizza!" Alex said
We waited for twenty minutes and the pizza arrived. We ate and they decided to watch a movie. They chose A Thousand Words. While I argued not to watch they still watched it and it made me sleep. I was woken up with different kinds of screams, I look at the television and they're watching Anabelle. I watched while they were still closing their eyes. The movie finished and they were still terrified.
"What's next?"
"How about sleep?"
"What?!" We all looked at Pam
"What? This is what sleepovers are all about? Right?" She asks
"Pam, sleepovers are all about staying up late and then passing out." Echo said. We all looked at her then laughed
"Echo! That's not true! I can't believe that you told her that! I'm not the one who passed out last time!" I tried to stop laughing
"Well, I thought that was you!"
"Ok ok! Stop this nonsense! Let's just sing? ok!" Polly said
"Wait, I don't sing." Echo said plainly
"Really?" We all say to Echo
"Well...the last time I sang was a lullaby Sarah sang when there was a storm."
"C'mon! Please! Just please!"
"Let's get this over with." Echo said
We all started to get excited I suddenly sang the first thing that pops into my head.
Sarah:
Everybody loves to tell me I was born an old soul
Better keep my eyes wide open
Echo: There's so much that I don't know
Just another hotel room
Pam and Polly: Never felt so all alone
I think about my granddad's eyes,
And they always send me home
Pam: I can almost hear him now
Gotta make him proud
All: I keep my eyes wide open
Bless this ground, unbroken
I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
And my eyes wide open
Alex: I can't see two steps ahead of me,
Pam and Polly: When the fog comes rollin' in
I never thought I'd miss the rain
Echo: Lord knows how long it's been
This dream burns inside of me,
Pam: And I can't just let it go
There's still so much that I don't know
Polly: I keep my eyes wide open
Bless this ground, unbroken
I'm about to make my way
Sarah: Heaven help me keep my faith
And my eyes wide open
Polly: All I have is just this moment
I don't want to miss a second
'Cause it could all be gone in an instant
Yeah, in an instant...
All: I keep my eyes wide open
Bless this ground, unbroken
I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
And my eyes wide open
Alex: I'm about to make my way
Heaven help me keep my faith
Pam and Polly: My eyes wide open
Echo: Keep my eyes...wide...open
We laughed at Alex's giant bed until we drifted to sleep.
•~•~•~•~•~
We all woke up at the sound of Alex's alarm clock singing let it go at eleven am.
I helped them walk home.
I walked into our house and slumped on the couch and felt exhausted.
•~•~•~•~•~•~
I went to school early and I met up with Chad crying; Yes, he is crying, I think.
"Why are you crying Chad?"
He looks at me and I notice a new face in the school; Shit! This is not Chad!
"I'm *sniff* not Chad."
"I'm sorry! What's your name? And why are you crying?"
He suddenly stands up and stops crying and smiles at me which I return a confused smile
"I'm Jasper Adams! Nice to meet you, and you?" Wow! What an act! I have to remind myself to stop being nice...
Wait, when have I been nice?
"I'm Sarah Pines! And why did you stop crying?"
"Shut it, Missy! I need you now!"
Before I could shout; he covered my mouth and nose with a handkerchief. And then all I know is I'm blacking out.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
(Chase)
Why did Parker want us to meet in his basement?
"You ok Chase?"
"You look like you were dying in that hospital bed!" Parker said as an insult
"Yeah, I'm ok."
The door bursts open and I see Jasper carrying a sack. Oh, God! They're doing this again! No! I wish it isn't anyone I care about.
"Brotherend dearest, let the person sit," Parker said
Jasper removes the sack and outcomes, Sarah. What a shocker!
(cue sarcasm)
Sarah wakes up and looks scared. She sees me and I see her eyes full of rage her eyes becomes a blur of color and turns red.
Just in a flash, I remember she went to a karate class. She gets free and I'm the first one out followed by my friends. The only one missing is Jasper. It's always the innocent one. Well, in this case, the guy who took her.
We all hear screams; we don't even want to know who's scream belongs to who. The screaming stops, the door bursts. And Sarah is full of rage and We see Jasper crawling to safety. But, Sarah grasps his shirt and throws Jasper to the nearest wall, and he blacks out. Sarah then looks at our direction I can see her eyes like it's filled with burning fire.
I quickly run before she decides to chase after us and tackles somebody. We all rush to the garden and run to hide in the bushes, everything was quiet, all except our breathing, we could only hear our panting. We hear a loud bang of a door and we leave our hiding spot and find Jasper and Chad badly bruised. And suddenly we all burst into laughter.
"You guys! Can't beat little Sarah?! God! You guys need some training!" Tyler said while trying to keep his laughter. After getting in Casper's- Parker and Jasper's older brother- car we went to the hospital.
•~•~•~•
Chad had a broken arm and Jasper has been unconscious for the past three hours and a broken arm and leg.
Tyler and Parker explained why he was doing this. God! Just to say bloody sorry! Those little bitches!
I went home and fixed my mom some tea. I went up the stairs and I see my door closed. A note attached to it.
Dad is so cheesy!
I enter my room and see a bunch of boxes and a bag.
I open the smallest box and I see different kinds of pictures. Mom holding me, mom and dad kissing, etc. I hear someone knocking on the glass, I glance at the window to find Sarah outside. I open the window and help her up.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
(Sarah)
I get up to Chase's window into his room.
"What's with the boxes? Are you moving?" I ask, straining my panic
"Inheritance." I sighed
"Ohh...Why are you down in the dumps?" I ask. I stifled a laugh and he gave me a questioning look, "Are your friends ok from my attack?" I laughed
He chuckles and says, "They're both fine, just one broken arm for Chad. A broken arm and leg for an unconscious Jasper."
We both laugh. I miss this guy. Whatever happened to this guy I've always known.
"Just don't ever kidnap me again or I'll be more dangerous. And why in the hell did Jasper abduct me?"
"Parker and Tyler were going to say sorry to you."
"Awww......How NOT so sweet of them!"
"Hey, Sarah! Want to help me fix this mess?"
"Do you mean your room or the boxes?" I joked. We both laughed
We both opened different kinds of boxes. The only one by so far the most precious things that we found was a deed and different kinds of jewelry.
"Dude, can I have some of the hoodies?" I asked sheepishly
"You can have the half I don't like." He answered
"Thanks, Chase."
The last one is on his bed we raced to get the box. I got it first then, he shoved me to the carpet and I saw an old box. While he was busy with his last inheritance. I opened the box and I see our old pictures. And the last note I gave him, promising to never forget each other. And a news article, the time I got shot. I teared up a little I looked up to him. Chase finished admiring the old bag looked at me holding the pictures. We both stared at each other. He grabs something and sits next to me. He placed his head on my shoulder and I put my hand on his shoulder.
"I just want you to know I'm sorry." He apologized
"For what? The gunshots? I would've done something like that but I wouldn't when it involved you." I admitted
"I want you to have this," he said and sat upright. He dangled a simple silver necklace with a small heart.
"Dude, I can't take that," I stated
"You can and will." He said and held my hand and opened it and placed the cool sliver on my skin.
"Thanks." I breathed
He did a simple nod and went back to the position. I can feel his tears falling on my shirt. While I'm blushing and thousands of words should've been said, but I stayed silent. And for some reason, I joined Chase in crying.
We stayed in that position until we heard footsteps going upstairs. I stood up and said goodbye to Chase and went down his window.
I went up to my room and saw mom crying.
"Mom! What happened?" I said in a panicked tone
"I saw what happened next door. It was so sweet!"
"Ohh, thanks, mom?"
"I'm officially inside Team Shase Fanclub!"
I laughed at her and my moment was killed by my phone ringing.
"Hello? Who is this?" I asked
"Don't remember me?"
"Shut it! I'll kill you!" I muttered
"No need to swear, bro! Anyone with you?"
"Mom is with me. And my dad." I lied
"Crap. I gotta go!"
Hahaha! He's still scared of my dad! But, I still hate that duche bag! That Jax backstabbing me?! Oh, no! I still hate that duche!
•~•~•~•~•
Friday, how I love that day!
I get up and get a nice warm shower.
I get my old white shirt and some jeans, I get my leather jacket and my famous black converse and I tie my hair up into a bun always.
I entered the hall and everyone's eyes are on me. They looked like they saw a ghost.
I still walk on and see the girls waiting in front of my locker.
We all squeal and we looked around to see everyone is looking at us.
"Don't you guys have lives to live!"
After Pam shouted, they all come back to life.
We went to our normal spot at the cafeteria and ate some granola. We talked about what we were supposed to do at the talent show. The final two are; acapella and our normal band act. We moved our butts to our classes and my surprise I forgot my homework. *cue sarcasm*
I got detention. And the girls were even there. So, we used the time to talk about the upcoming talent show. And we're thinking, doing our normal activity but, we need a song! We fought on what to do and it took long enough to get us out of detention.
"Guys! Stop this! We need ideas!" Pam said as she stopped our debate
"Yeah! Pam's right! We need the best ideas! Almost every idea we've thrown is what we did last year!" Alex said while we were stunned that she agreed to Pam
"Wow! Just wow! I just thought just a great idea!"
"Yeah, what's it, Sarah?" Echo asked
"We have to compose a new song," I said
"That process takes way too long," Polly said
"What do you think seems fitting for our 'last hurrah'?" Alex asks. We gave her a questioning look.
"I'm moving. And I'm not going back." She said simply as if it was that easy to leave us.
"What?" I said unsure that I misheard her
"I'm leaving." She cut short
"We've gotten more problems than solutions," Echo muttered in her breath as she rubbed her forehead
We were sent out of detention for the last period and we went our separate ways.
•~•~•~•~•~•
I went to the football field and practiced my touchdowns. And helped coach to get new ideas.
And the best part is, I get to train! That's the best bonus I could get. I can get a head start on my endurance.
I followed the coach to the gym. And we did drills and my footwork and my ball handling.
And I kept going in an hour or so.
•~•~•~•~•~•
I went home exhausted and feel my sweat getting sticky on my skin. I open the door to see mom on the couch watching Gotham. And at one sight, I have never felt so betrayed and so hurt all at once.
"Mom! You watching Gotham! Without calling me?! How could you! And with popcorn!"
"And extra butter!" She says gleefully
I stormed out of the living room and went to the kitchen; I opened the fridge and I see my tiny little apple pie from yesterday! I grabbed it and sprinted to my room.
I place the plate and the apple pie at my study table. I removed my sweaty clothes and before I could forget. I went up to the secret room I discovered and opened my hidden mini-fridge. I grabbed a Dr. Pepper and went down the ladder.
I was startled when I saw Chase was on my bed.
"Well, I see something new for the day! And it makes me smile." He makes his grin into an angelic smile
Then I remember I was only wearing my underwear. At the thought, I blushed bright red. I went down the ladder and placed the drink on the table. And ran to my closet. I grabbed a tank top and some shorts. I remove my contacts and I can't seem to find my glasses.
"I thought the last one was better. But whateves! You still look pretty in anything. Or maybe even without anything." He caught me off guard and sees me blush pink
"Whateves Freckles!"
"I don't have freckles anymore, Pine tree!"
"Really? Wow! Now, please get my glasses next to you?"
"What if I don't want to?"
"I'm just gonna make my way to it!"
I guide myself by touching and kind-of-kicking my way to my bed. I hear him laugh.
"Okay, okay! I had my laugh here's your glasses."He puts on my glasses.
"Well, That was fun. Sarah, do you wanna go to a party?"
"No."
"Suit yourself. And dress up and take a bath! You smell like sweat!" I blushed, "again with the blushing. But don't stop, I find it cute." He stated and then jumped down my window.
I took a slow cold bath to soothe my muscles. I wore my Hello Kitty jammies and sat near my window.
A black SUV parked in front of Chase's house and his crew went out to meet him. And I think that's Parker's older brother. He was tall, a great build, and even from my bad eyesight, I could see how defined his jaw and cheekbones were.
"Chase!" They all scream
I could feel someone staring at me. For a second, I looked behind me. Then on both sides and then I fixated on all the guys on Chase's lawn.
Parker's brother was staring at me. He picked up something and did something to it. And threw it towards my direction. I ducked. I flipped him off. And he smiled at me. I could feel the heat on my hands. But ignored the feeling.
•~•~•~•~•~•
After an hour, Chase decided to show up. And I started to do my homework.
But somehow I couldn't keep my mind straight. The rock that Parker's brother threw was clouding my thoughts. I gave in and stopped everything I did.
I picked up the rock and there was a taped note on it.
I finished reading the letter and I actually fell in love with his doodles.
I glanced at the clock and realized that it was fifteen minutes before the upcoming hour.
I grabbed the nearest and most decent clothes that were scattered on my floor.
I looked at myself in front of the mirror. I grabbed a normal white sock and paired it with my DIY galaxy converse.
I rushed downstairs and to be halted by mom.
"And where are you going?" She asked
"We have a very important meeting. The positions have changed. I have to go. This is mandatory and I could get kicked out if I don't attend." I said to mom and she just nodded and shooed me out of the house.
"Great to see that you cooperated," Casper said to me
"What kind of mess?" I asked in a business tone
"This is a high school party. Everything's messy." He says
"Can we stop-by some houses?" I ask him innocently
"Sure. Just make it quick."
I got in the SUV and started pointing out where Pam and Polly's house was. We stopped.
"You stay here and I take care of it." I get out of the car and climb the tree near Pam and Polly's room.
I open the window and it was locked. I reached in my pocket and grabbed my army knife and opened the window.
"Pam, Polly. We have a mission." I whisper-shouted
"Shut up, Sarah," Pam muttered
"Oh, no! Spiders! Giant spiders!" I shouted. Both twins shot up and stood on their beds. They both realized that I was just joking and both sent me death glares.
"Sarah, if you do that one more time, I'm gonna personally kill you." Pam threatened
"Get dressed. We have a party to attend. Just simple clothes. Nothing flashy." I ordered
"What about our aunt?" Polly asked
"I'll make a decoy. Now get dressed." I said and started gathering all the things I needed.
Ten minutes passed and I finished my contraption. I looked at my masterpiece and smiled proudly at myself. I tested it out for the first time. I opened the door. I checked the weight. And I saw the two dummies moving in their beds. I ushered the two to get out and I turned on the stereo of Polly snoring.
"That took less time than I expected," Casper said, impressed
"All I needed were in their house," I said proudly.
"Nice decoys tbh," Pam said
"Where are we going?" Polly asked
"Alex's house," I answered
We went further to the rich part of the village. We stopped at the gatehouse.
"Sir, may I ask who are these girls?" The guard asks
"My sister's friends." He answered casually.
"Ok, sir." The guard said and let us in
"I go to my house. And you guys go to your friend's house."
We started walking. And surprisingly we were both going to the same place.
"Why are you guys following me?" He asked, annoyed
"We were going to house 112," Pam stated, annoyed as well
"Just keep away from me." He said. I rolled my eyes
"They're so immature." I could hear him say
"What did you just say?!" I said angrily
"I said nothing!" He shouted
"You said we were immature!" I shouted. Pam and Polly gasped
"I said no such thing!" He shouted
"You did! You muttered it." I stated
"Whatever." He muttered
After a few heated arguments later. We finally reach Alex and his house.
We found an open window despite it being fishy. We took extra precautions. I had to hack into the security system and keep guard. I hand out the professional type walkie talkies and keep guard on the gate. I did my best.
"Sarah, the gate?" Pam said
"Sure," I said and with a few types, I finally opened the gate.
(Pam)
We got in.
"You're Nitrogen. I'm Neon." My sister ordered.
"And what about Sarah?"
"Sodium." She smirked
"Nitro and Neon, roll out. And split up. Grab your powder, you'll need it." Sodium ordered
I poured out a big amount of powder and blown it, and had it backfired.
"Fudge!" I cussed
"Here, let me." Neon said
(Polly)
I poured a small amount of power on my hand and clapped.
"Told you I could do it."
"Whatever," Nitro muttered
"Sodium to Neon, move out. Take every extra step of precaution. Gods, if you get a-"
"I know, Sodi."
/my sister and I split up. I headed for the open window and she went in.
(Pam)
I went in. And I should have Sarah always on my sleeve. God, if I just get caught. It's the slammer for us.
"Sodi, what's ahead?" I ask through the walkie
"Guard dog. I expect you to have the sleepy dog treats with you?"
"I always do." I reply, "anything else?"
"The doorknob is rigged. You can get zapped."
"Well, rubber gloves indeed."
I fish out the rubber gloves out of my bag and took out the treat. I twisted it open and the guard dog was triggered. I threw the treat. The mutt silenced and dropped to instant snooze.
"Nice one, Nitro. And everything's clear. Except for the stairs. Full of booby traps, each step full of tricks."
"Thanks."
I climb the railing.
(Sarah)
I saw Pam climb up the railing. She was moving like an inchworm. I was stifling my laughter. And I checked how Polly's doing.
I grabbed the walkie and warned Polly,
"Neo, watch out. There's a rigged tile somewhere on that very floor you're stepping on. Just give me a minute to remove the whole security codes and....." I typed like a mad man and tried to decode every single crap code was in the system, "Flute." I cussed
"What happened?"
"My laptop froze. Fudge old shit. You stay out of that house. And get out ASAP. I'll take a look out for Nitro."
"Wait, you mean, she hasn't come out or even got in Alex's room?" She asked
"Yeah. Slow inchworm slides." I said
"I'm coming out." She stated
"Nitro, how's it going?" I ask.
"Already in her room." She reported proudly
"Great. Now, wake her up quietly." I said to her
(Pam)
"Alex, Alex. Wake up. Wake up." I said calmly. She groaned. One sign that she's out of her sleep trance.
"Alex. Alex. Alex. Wake. The. Fudge. Up." I said, losing my temper as the second passes.
"Wake up!" I shout
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Nitro?!" Sodi whisper-shouted.
"I kinda lost my temper."
"Get a hold of it. We have no right to be breaking." She said
"Dude, we didn't break anything. And we're Alex's friend. We're just entering our superly rich friend inside her house." I pointed out
"You're right. Ok, there's supposed to be one thing that'll trigger her." She said to herself or maybe me.
"I think it's her alarm clock," I state
"Great. I know you have a 'let it go' song on your phone. Put it on moderate and play the song near her ear." She instructed
"Ok." I fished out my phone in my bag and entered the password. I opened the playlist and pressed let it go.
The song was different. How? I checked my phone again. And realized I pressed my mix.
Alex was twisting back and forth trying to find the alarm. She finally stood up. When her eyes landed on me she widened her eyes and I had the feeling she was going to scream. I grabbed a small plush pillow and put it against her mouth.
"Ok. Alex, this is Pam. We just needed you. We have a mission." I said calmly, even though my heart is hammering in my chest and wants to break free from my rib cage. She nodded. I slowly remove the pillow and sighed with relief.
"Is this a party?" She asks
"Yea. Not too flashy or eye-catching. Just simple."
"I'll try." She said honestly.
(Alex)
We jumped down from the open window down the hall. God, I should check every single window before going to bed. Because it seemed that Sarah, Pam, and Polly got in easily.
"You guys make a great team." An older and very tall guy says to Sarah and Polly.
"Thanks, Casper," Sarah says
"Looks like you guys are done." The guy- Casper, I think- said
"Who's that girl?" I ask curiously
"Her? She's my younger sister. Parker's Twin." Parker has a twin?!
"Wow. Never saw that coming." I said. Polly and Pam were nowhere to be seen. But at the corner of my eye, I could see the twins holding Sarah down.
(Sarah)
I saw Tanya and all I felt was nothing more than rage.
"Sarah, she's not worth your anger," Polly stated
"But she deserves a punch in the gut." Pam supported
"Pam, we're supposed to stop a fight from happening!" Polly alarmed her
"Get your flippin' filthy hands off me!" I shout
"Sarah, please. I'll make sure Tanya doesn't bother you. Because if she does I will personally call you and we'll beat her up in a pulp." Alex said to me calmly.
The idea of Tanya not bothering me was impossible. She knows some of my weak spots, and she knows when I'm mad and pretend she's "miss innocent". But, the idea of beating her to a pulp was nice. For now, I had to behave. Because I if do, I'll get my payback.
"Ok. My rage has passed." I declare.
"That took longer," Tanya whined
"Well, maybe it has a comeback."
"Taser," Alex ordered. Pam and Alex switched while I knew Pam didn't like this. But she obeyed.
"Sorry, Sarah," Pam said and used the taser at me. I didn't feel anything.
"What happened?" Polly asks
"I dunno," Pam answered. But her eyes show glee.
"Did I just get tased or that thing lost its battery?" I ask, dumbfounded
"Is it ok if I tase your sister?" Pam asked Casper, he nodded. Pam threw the rubber gloves and he caught it and held Tanya down. Pam tased her. She dropped unconscious.
"Why the hell?!" Pam shouts
"While you girls figure that out, I should put Harper back to her bed," Casper stated
"At least we don't have to be with her," Polly said gleefully.
(Casper)
What the hell just happened in there?
"What did the muggle say?" My mom asked
"I believe half-bloods. Or purebloods." I corrected her
"That's impossible. I saw the five of them grow. But one of them is a werewolf."
"Pfft. Now, that's impossible. They're too naive."
"Don't jump to conclusions." She warned
"I won't, mother. I have to fix the mess that Parker has done to his muggle friends."
"They're purebloods."
"Muggle-born or pureblood I don't care," I said and started to walk away
(Sarah)
We finally arrived at a mansion. We saw people getting drunk and some making out. I cringed when I pass them.
We make our way into the crowded house. So, in my instinct, I went to the dance floor. I was dancing with Pam, Polly, and Alex. I got separated and got pushed into a dance-off. Then I see my opponent, Logan. The best male dancer in middle school. Shoot!
I concentrated and danced to what felt right and I didn't even realize that I danced all over him. Just sooner, he rose his hands up in the air and surrendered. All of them cheered and then, suddenly someone picked me up to the air. I looked at who it was and it was just totally surprising when I saw Logan.
"Great dancing, Pines." He said. His voice suddenly deep
"Um...Thanks? It means a lot that it came from you." I said a smile still plastered on my face.
He puts the carrying position into bridal style. He carries me to a couch and just drops me into the leathery cushions.
"Hey,"
"Sup!"
"Good dance-off!"
"I mean, you danced all over me like hell! I like your moxie, Pines."
"Thanks, Conway?"
"Hahaha! How are you not enjoying the party! Get loose, Pines!"
"Yeah, I think it's time that I loosen up!"
"Can you grab me a beer?" He asks
I made my way where the drinks were. I smelt that all the drinks and I concluded are all spiked. Ugh! Disgusting
"Hey, Pines! All drinks are spiked. Be careful. And nice dancing by the way."
"Thanks for the advice! Connor?"
"Haha! Yeah, it's Connor Williams!"
"Yeah, I better head back to my friend."
"Oh, right! Sorry!"
I went out of that awkward moment with Connor. I head back to Logan and I bump into Echo!
We went to the leather couch where Logan passed out.
"Shoot!"
Echo slapped Logan. I look around and I see Brad and Tyler kissing! I called Parker
"Hey! Adams!" I shout
"Wait who is this?"
"This is Pines! Logan passed out on a spiked drink! And I see Brad and Tyler kissing!"
"Take a pic!"
"Of what?" I ask innocently
"Your vagina! Kidding! Obviously! Take a pic of Brad and Tyler Kissing!"
"Sorry! But after a few pics. We better get out of here!"
"Yeah! Sure! Take a pic already! And find Chase!"
I hung up and took a lot of pictures Of them kissing. I spot Chase hangin' with slutty whores! Straddling him.
Eww....so GROSS! And they're three years older than him. Ew. Ew. I have to bleach my eyeballs later
OK! Back to reality, Pines! Back to the task at hand.
"Are you guys positioned?" I ask through the walkie talkie
"Yeah," they said in chorus
"Great. Let's move out." You think I would party like an animal. We came here to help Casper. And to get some... things. I found a power plug. I plugged in my laptop and hacked it in the security codes. I had to make Neo, Nitro, and Argon wait until I make an electrical 'mistake' or a 'malfunction'.
I hacked the system totally and shut off the lights. The only thing working in this house is Me, the three, and my laptop.
"Anything up ahead?" Polly asked
"Nothing," I whispered. The whole place was quiet. Too quiet for a party if you ask me.
"Just do it quickly. Meanwhile, I have to find the guys that we have to bring home." I state
I stood up from the corner and used a dim flashlight and walked around. And I just bumped into the couch.
I pointed the flashlight to the couch and focused on the face. Logan. I dragged him outside. Yes, I did in fact, dragged him. And he was surprisingly light.
Casper was just waiting on his car.
"What took you so long?"
"I stopped Logan from drinking a spiked drink, but he didn't listen. So I had to close the lights and drag him out the darkness." I lied
"Make it quick. My mother's not gonna like this." I heard him mutter
"It doesn't matter if who's gonna like it. What matters is that you had fun and you like what you're doing." I said to him before going back to the dark house.
"Guys, how's the loot?" I ask
"Going fine as hell," Pam said happily
"I have a giant safe here. Need ya help." Alex said.
"Me too. But it's a smaller version." Polly said sadly. I sighed
"Who has my stethoscope?" I ask, rolling my eyes in the process.
"I brought two!" Pam exulted
"Great! Since I trust you, go with your sister. And please flash your flashlights towards the corridor." I said and rushed upstairs.
I saw Pam's narrow light and followed it.
"Great to see you, Nitro," I said and she handed me the bag and the stethoscope.
"We'll meet here after we're done," I said and ran to where I thought Alex was.
(Pam)
I walked to the next door and greeted my sister.
"Fudge you." She cussed
"What would happen to you without me," I said cockily. I tossed the stethoscope on the carpeted floor and faced my sister's sideways. I smiled at her and hit the safe with the side of my fist. I continued to smile through the aching pain on my hand.
(Polly)
I can see that dumdum bluffing. But I just acted I was in awe.
"Wow. How'd you do that?" I asked sweetly. I just want to forget this night happened
"Well," She flexed, "I am stronger than you." I rolled my eyes
"Stop bluffing. I can see that it hurts. And besides, that's titanium." I stated and we just had to quarrel. I stopped in the middle of the argument and reminded her to finish this later and continued with the job.
(Sarah)
We were done. All I had to do was gather all the guys and get them in the car. Well, Logan's done. All I had to find was; Parker, Chase, Tyler, and Brad.
Well, Ty and Brad were easy to spot. Considering that they didn't leave their spot. I separate the two and dragged the two outside.
Parker was sober. Practically the only guy who entered the house and came out sober. He was waiting beside his brother. Both were impatient. So I quickened my pace.
I saw Chase where I left him. I grabbed him and pain runs down my arm. I look at my arm. Nails, who knew they could hurt, a lot! I look at my arm, I see blood. And I'm oozing blood like I have a whole life supply. Again, grabbing Chase, and kicked the lights out off those hoes!
I laugh at myself at being mental, again! I said out loud to those hoes
"Bye, hoes!"
I went out and apparently, Echo followed me.
I stared angrily at Parker who was bursting with laughter.
"Mommy! I want my milk! I'm sweepy!" Chase said.
We all looked at each other blankly. Suddenly, we all bursts into laughter; I accidentally drop Chase to the ground. I heard him groan and I see Tyler and Brad making out in the backseat. Which we -excluding Casper- laughed at.
While I was pulling myself together, Parker was still catching his breath from laughing. I managed to put Chase at the back with a seatbelt. I called the girls and they hopped in.
Casper started the engine and I buckled my seatbelt.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•
"Hey, Sarah?"
"What's up, Parker?"
"What's with your arm? Is that blood?"
I chuckle and answer him airily
"I got scratched by Chase's slutty whores. And yes this is in fact blood oozing out of my arm. Mr. Adams."
"We need to get you to the hospital! Now!"
Casper drove to the nearest hospital. We leave the others in the car. While I was skipping like a little girl in the halls. Until Parker decides to carry me.
He puts me down and a nurse comes rushing into the room. She cleanses my wound with the painful burning alcohol on my wounds. Then she washes the dry blood and she drys the wound. Finally, she injects something at me that makes me blackout.
•~•~•~•
I tried to open my eyes but, the blinding light has come forth and met my eyes.
I hear people
"She's very thin!" A lady exclaims. Really?! I didn't know!
"Yeah, I think she doesn't eat a lot." What do you think? I'm always eating! And I love it!
"Can you just gauze tape my arm?"
"Woah! Sarah! You're already awake?"
"No, no, no! I'm still sleeping see?!" I make fake snore. They both laughed at me.
Finally, the nurse puts a gauze tape on my arm!
I don't really think that me being mental is very dull. I join The Dark Side when I go mental. Not to mention that I can kill when it happens.
•~•~•~•~•~•
"Hey, Parker!"
"Yeah?"
"I need to tell you something..." I said my voice trails while my head spins
"Yeah, what is it, Pines?"
"Remember my friend Pam? The other girl playing in your team?"
"You're talking about me?" I heard Pam say
"Um.....Yeah, why?" Parker answered
"Um...Can I play?" I asked, ashamed, and proud at the same time.
"Yes! Please say yes, please say yes." Pam prayed happily
"What! You mean football right?" He asked confused
"No! I'm already playing football! I mean soccer!" I almost shout
"Sorry. But, I'll ask the coach and ttyl."
After a few more awkward silence I finally found the guts and break it
"So, do you have a second name?"
"Huh?"
"It's like Chase's name; Chase Benjamin Edwards."
"Oh, God," Polly muttered under her breath
"No. And did Chase tell you yet?"
"About what?" I ask
"Nothing. So, now your turn! Same question!" He dodged it!
"Yeah, I have a second name."
"No joke! Really!"
"Not even joking! If you want to see proof, just tell."
"Yeah, sure!"
He turns on the lights.
I fish my ID in my bag.
"Here!"
I hand him my ID
"Wow! Really? Evangelina? Wow!"
We both laugh and he then gives me back my ID and Casper returns driving.
•~•~•~•~•~•
Parker and I woke up the guys and while Logan was still unconscious. We had to sneak them into their houses one-by-one.
The hardest one was Logan. Actually, no. His house was like Alex's and every single damn corner is filled with traps and he's unconscious. And we almost got caught by the mutt. We throw Logan inside his room and we hear a loud thud.
I said goodbye to Parker and dragged Chase to their porch. I grab the keys inside his pockets. I open the door and it was quiet, too quiet.
"Hey, Chase! Where's your mom?"
"Huh? Um... she was on the airplane to Europe. And the twins and Soph are with Gramgram."
"Thanks!"
I carried Chase to this room and I dropped him on his bed. In just seconds he grabs my waist and pulls me towards him on his bed. There he lies; holding my waist and dozing off.
I pinch him and he woke up
"Where am I?"
"Your house."
"Ow! Why does my head hurt?"
"Partying hard."
"Really? Then, who are you?"
"My own best friend! Doesn't even know me?"
"Park, is that you?"
"This is Sarah!"
"Oh, Sarah. I love you. I know you know this Parker!"
Does he really like me? Or is it the beer talking?
"True?"
"No,"
I pushed him off his bed and ran downstairs and left the house.
