Chapter 16: Claws are out
“SHHHHHHHH! Be Quiet!” I shushed the whole gang as we stalked along the edges of Taylor White’s house.
Oh, and a few details before I start the story-telling session. Taylor White lives on a freaking big compound and we arrived here at sunset which apparently was perfect for the view.
We were chased by a couple of Dobermans; we managed to scale the high iron-wrought gate, as well as activate the alarm system to the sprinklers and fountains. So for short, we were all badly bruised and scratched, and were all about to accumulate hypothermia, courtesy of none other than. Mia Lizowksi.
She was the first one to suggest that we try scaling the gate. She was also the one who suggested to open up this small shack which released the dogs, and she was also the one who pushed the red button without consulting us first.
Yes, I know such an adorable friend right?
“Keep quiet!” I whispered quite annoyed.
Everyone was following my command except for one person.
Mia.
I glared at her, and this glare was my ultra-mega-special-death-defying-glare!
She saw my look and quickly clamped her mouth shut.
Good decision biscotchi!
“So what’s your plan now?” Justine asked curiously.
I began tapping my foot on the pavement thinking hard.
“We need to get inside Taylor’s room!” I exclaimed.
“And why’s that?” Mia asked.
Margaux rolled her eyes.
“ I thought you were the detective, what do you think?”
Mia became flustered and began sweating out.
“Ugh, umm, I think…” she began to say.
Margaux smirked.
“I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING!” she outraged at the top of her lungs.
Effing biscotchi!
I face-palmed myself.
“You might’ve as well announced that we’re here!” Violet scolded.
“I’ve heard voices here!” shouted a deep voice from behind.
We all glanced at each other uncertainly.
“Run!” shouted Ashley.
We ran like marathoners unto the gate. It was more of like a 5-kilometer run and halfway through it, our chubby (or perhaps pregnant friend) staggered and began aching for help.
Everyone halted and came back for Anastasia who was now sprawled on the pavement.
How cliché is this? I mean we were being chased and eventually someone trips or falls and we need to comeback for her?
“Do we need to help her?” Mia asked a bit confused.
Ashley rolled her eyes, “Duh!”
“What’s wrong?” asked Chartreuse.
Anastasia exhaled.
“I think I might not fit into running anymore?”
Justine and I stared at each other.
I nodded reluctantly and we grabbed Anastasia and we both carried her drunk-man style with one arm draped over my shoulder and the other one on Justine’s.
“They’re here!” shouted someone behind my back.
Shizm! The guards are closing on us
We ran and ran like we were going to die the moment they catch us (even though yes, it could happen)
But since my whole-life seems to be somewhat like those cliché-teen novels, so yes, we did pull it through and escaped.
***
“I can’t believe you outraged yesterday!” exclaimed Violet as we were all comfortably seated on our table at lunch.
Mia blushed.
“I just had this pressure on me, since I was the detective!!”
Pressure? Seriously? No one was pressuring you Mia.
“Okay! We should let bygones be bygones..” I began to say.
“Bygones what?” Mia asked
Jace, it’s okay, don’t mind her…
I always try to tell myself that I shouldn’t get angry with Mia, but sometimes she just has these ideas that could make me feel ugh.
“Once we get inside Taylor’s room, we could’ve access to her phone, diary, or perhaps anything!” Violet beamed to her realization.
I snapped my fingers.
“Exactly! That’s the reason why I wanted to check it out!”
“Or condoms,” Anastasia blurted out.
We all looked at her.
“What does that have to do with anything?” I asked her.
“Every girl has them, I mean for emergency, in case the guy you know doesn’t bring one…”
Mia raised her hand.
“I don’t have them,” she stated bluntly.
Anastasia smirked,
“Then you must not be a girl,”
Mia was as a red as a tomato by this time.
Why do we get sidetracked so easily! Jace you need to focus!
I cleared my throat.
“Okay, so we need to formulate everything…” I began to say.
“Well, I have something in mind that will really help us,” came an accented voice from behind.
At this moment I know exactly who the person is.
I turned around, “What now Nathalia?”
She pouted at me trying to be cute.
“Is that how you treat a friend?”
Everyone on our table was shocked to see the Britsh-brat coming along.
“And like why is she here?” Mia asked angrily for some reason.
I shrugged.
Everyone inside the cafeteria was starting to stare and whisper amongst themselves.
“I’m here to help you guys,” Nathalia stated as if Mia was too daft (even though she is most of the time) not to know.
Before she sat on the space next to me, she leaned in and kissed both my cheeks, which earned her a blush from me as a reply.
“Hey! Don’t do that to Jace!” Mia scolded her.
Ugh-h, what’s your problem Mia?
Nathalia smirked.
“Why shouldn’t I?”
Mia blushed.
“Be-eca-use….” She stammered out.
The rest of the girls on the table winked at each other and shot knowing glances.
They’re hiding something, this is one of the disadvantages of hanging out with girls
I cleared my throat.
“So what’s your plan?” I asked Nathalia.
She beamed.
“So I was thinking of splitting us into two groups,” she explained animatedly.
“Elaborate further please,” pushed Ashley.
The other girls shushed her obviously hanging on every word Nathalia was saying.
“So, the first group would be in-charge of diversion or distraction, while the other one would be in-charge of going inside Taylor’s room,” Nathalia confidently explained.
“So who’s on what team?” asked Violet.
Nathalia thought for a minute or so.
“Hmm…So Margaux, Chartreuse, Ashley and Violet you guys will be Team 1, which’s the distracters,” she decided and glanced at the chosen ones.
Ashley frowned obviously hoping to actually see Taylor’s room.
“While I, Jace, Anastasia and Justine would be the one's going inside Taylor’s room,” Nathalia added.
“Hey! What about me!?” Mia fumed.
Nathalia faked shock.
“Oh! Sorry, I forgot about you dearie, why don’t Violet go to our Team then you,” she fixed Mia with a steady glare, “Go to the other team,” she added.
Mia banged her fist on the table.
“Who told you to be the leader anyway?”
What the hell’s wrong with Mia? I mean, she was happy moments ago and the moment Nathalia came in, she went ballistic!
“Why, do you have better ideas? I mean besides playing detective?” Nathalia sneered.
Mia turned a beet shade of red.
“At least I don’t need to force a boy to kiss me!” Mia exclaimed.
“But you haven’t even kissed someone!” announced Anastasia.
Nathalia guffawed.
“Awwww, just drop it Mia,” she sniggered.
Mia punched Anastasia on the shoulder.
“That was supposed to be our secret!”
Anastasia shrugged apologetically.
“Oops?”
Mia turned back to Nathalia.
“At least I don’t need to kidnap people!”
“At least I had kissed someone!” Nathalia shot back.
“You should start putting the letter A on anything that’s part of your wardrobe!”
Violet raised her hand.
“Wait-what?”
Mia looked around.
“Has anyone here read or even watch ‘The Scarlet letter’,”
I raised my hand.
“I have!” I blurted out.
Mia held out her fist for me to bump but Nathalia blocked our fists from connecting.
What the hell? Nathalia too? Girls sure are weird, what’s wrong with them?
“What’s your problem?” Mia fired.
“Your attitude’s my problem!” Nathalia fired back.
“Well, you know what? You’re my problem!” Mia announced.
“Cat fight,” Justine whistled while Anastasia excitedly watched the happening.
We were all slightly weird for not doing anything, I mean we were letting two girls argue about something that I don’t really understand what.
And Chartreuse seemed to be thinking about the same thing too! I mean her eyes had been constantly rolling.
Margaux clapped her hands excitedly.
“EHMAGAWD! We are totally doing what chick-lit girls are doing! I mean plus the fact that Jace’s here and wait, who dressed you up today Jace? I mean, did you know that turtlenecks are so out of season? You remind me of my grandfather! Ohmygosh! Which reminds me, see my granpops called yesterday and told me that he got the most amazing pair of…” Margaux blabbed.
“SHUT UP!” roared Mia and Nathalia at the same time.
I sighed.
Good thing the Cafeteria today’s really loud that nobody bothers to look at our direction.
Margaux let out whimper.
“Sorry,” she mumbled.
“You are starting to get in my nerves brat!” Nathalia turned to Mia.
“Takes one to know one!” Mia exclaimed.
“Just stop it will you!” Nathalia shouted.
“Why should I?”
Boy! I got a headache.
I can't stand all this yapping anymore
"I'm outta here!" I exclaimed as i furiously rub my temples.
If they can't even talk with each other, how do they expect to work this out as a team?
I shrugged it off and sighed.
I might as well be a killer.
