Again, I know that I shouldn't be doing this but there won't be too many chapters and it's for SugarQueen8490's contest. Y'all voted on my profile and this was so in the lead. I know it was meant to end on July 4th but that just wouldn't work and it was so obviously going to win there really wasn't a point in keeping the poll up so long.
Disclaimer: You know I don't own the 39 Clues. If I did there'd be a whole new series focused completely on AmIan. Only Cleo
BTW Kurt's name won't even be mentioned. He died "mysteriously" before this. I'll make a short prequel later about it.
Amy's POV
"I got to go. See you at eight?" Evan asks.
"Eight it is!" I smiled. "Bye"
"Bye"
I sighed. Evan and I had been dating for a month or so. I really liked him. Yes, liked. As in the past. Why the past? Well that's what this story is about.
I'm Amy, and this is the story of a boy and a girl who want nothing more than sweet revenge. [Ian here thinks I was being dramatic with that part. Too bad.]
After Evan hung up Dan came running in. Like right after I put the phone down. I think he was eavesdropping.
"Amy, where's Saladin? He never goes outside before dark!" Dan panicked.
"I'm sure he's around here some where. Go look around again." I told him. I was sure Saladin was fine but poor Dan loved that cat.
A few minutes later he came back. I was reading The Throne of Fire but Dan pulled it out of my hands.
"HE'S NOT HERE!" Dan yelled.
"Did you look under the beds?" He nodded. "Couch? Chairs? Table?" More nods. "Maybe he got locked in a closet again?" Dan shook his head. Of course he'd looked.
"What if he got kidnapped? Or shot, or stabbed or-"
"Dan, he's a cat. People don't stab or kidnap cats. Maybe he's outside?" I suggested. I was starting to worry as well.
So we went out to look. Then we heard someone yell "GET OUT OF HERE YOU FILTHY CAT!"
"Found him." I told Dan.
Then Saladin came racing out of the house down the street and jumped at Dan who caught him. "Bad, Saladin! That's not your house, you need to stay out of it!" He scolded.
Now, with Saladin back, we went back inside. "He's not filthy." Dan muttered.
Ding Dong [No, Ian, I would not rather ring the doorbell into the mic. I like making the sound. Now hush!]
Evan was there.
"Hey, Ames." He said, kissing me. [Oh you're just jealous!] I know I should've been used to it by then but I still blushed.
"Ew! Guys, can't you wait till you leave?" Dan should be used to it as well. Some things you just never get used to.
"Well we better go then." Evan said, laughing.
"Be home by ten!" Nellie shouted from the kitchen.
"Kay, bye!" I yelled back.
When we got to the park, we were going on a walk for our date, we started talking. I know it's weird but we almost always talk about books. That was the main thing we had in common.
But, eventually, we can run out of books to talk about.
"So, how was your day?" Evan asked. He seemed eager to keep me talking the most.
"Pretty good. As I told you, I finished Throne of Fire and Saladin got lost earlier. Nothing really. How about you?" I asked. I didn't like doing all the talking.
But for some reason, this question seemed to make him uncomfortable. "Umm… t-today? Not much. I… I just… did homework and stuff. I hate waiting till the last minute." He said.
"Are you sure? You don't seem sure." I asked, worriedly.
"Of course I'm sure. Why would I l-lie to you?"
"Just curious."
The rest of the date we talked about random stuff. I don't really remember because the whole time I couldn't stop thinking about how weird Evan had been acting. He obviously hadn't done homework. Whatever he really did, he obviously didn't want to tell me.
Quarter till ten he drove me home and walked me to the door. I kissed him good-bye and went inside. I couldn't stop thinking about how weird he was acting though.
"So, how was it?" Nellie asked.
"What? Oh, fine." I replied.
"'Fine'? Just fine? Normally I get a 'great', 'fantastic' or even 'perfect'. What's up?"
"Nothing. It's just… Evan acted kind of weird. I asked how his day was and he kind of panicked. I know he didn't really do homework like he said."
"Oh, doesn't this sound familiar!" Nellie sighed.
"If I've learned anything from my experience with guys, it's how to know when they're cheating on you. Lying is the first sign."
"Are you... Are you saying that Evan's cheating on me?" I asked, unable to believe it.
"No, I'm just saying, it's possible. Boys can be really stupid sometimes."
"Thanks, Nellie!" Dan said, walking in. "I feel so loved. Now why are boys stupid? Did Evan dump you"
"Nellie just thinks he's cheating on me because he was acting weird." I explained.
"Oh no. This'll be Ian all over again won't it? I'll go get the tissues and ice cream." Dan sighed.
"D-Dan that was different." I defended, blushing. Now, of course I was over Ian after two years but his name was still faintly written on my heart somewhere so he was a touchy subject.
"Right. Anyway, this is too girly for me. I'll be killing the undead if you need any awesomeness added to your life." Dan stated, walking to his room.
"Hey, kiddo, don't stay up all night playing that! It's bad for your eyes and possibly your mental health!" Nellie called after him. Yeah, like he'll listen. I thought.
"You do know he's going to be up till five playing anyway right?" I asked.
"If I go to bed and he's still playing I'll telling him that all that killing will turn him into Isabel Kabra." Nellie said. "He won't play past midnight."
After our little conversation I showered, and went to bed. The word remained in my head though. Cheating?
Okay, I'll fast-forward to the next important part of the day, about three the next afternoon.
"Amy, Saladin's gone again!" Dan said, interrupting my geometry homework.
"He'll come back. He did yesterday." I told him.
As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Ding Dong [Yes, Ian, again. Get over it!]
Standing at the door was a lady in an apron, holding Saladin.
"Would this be your cat?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm sorry. Was he bothering you again? I don't know what's with him lately." I apologized.
"He has been coming over to see my employer's cat, Cleo. I don't mind him but Cleo's owner… not so much."
"Sorry. I'll try to keep him inside."
"Thank you." She said, walking away.
"Bad boy!" Dan scolded. "Can't you tell they don't like you?"
Meow
I sighed and went back to finish my homework.
When that was done, I didn't have anything else to do so I called Evan.
"Hey, Ames." He said when he picked up.
"Hey, I just wanted to know if you'd like to do something tonight."
"Umm… yeah, sorry, I… I can't… I'm… busy. Maybe some other time kay?"
"Oo-kay…" I said suspiciously. "Well, bye then."
"Later."
There was the weirdness again. "Busy"? What did that mean? Well, being the sneaky, scheming, curious Madrigal that I am, I had to do a bit of an investigation.
"Hey, Nellie, I'm going out with Evan. I'll be driving though." I told Nellie.
"Kay, kiddo, but remember to be back by nine, it's a school night."
"Sure but… can I take your car? Mine… needs a new battery…" I explained, looking for an excuse. Evan knew what my car looked like. I couldn't take it.
"Sure… be careful."
"Thanks."
So I got into Nellie's car and drove to Evan's house. I waited there for a while. At seven thirty I saw his car back out of the driveway. So, I followed.
I know what you're thinking, "Wouldn't he notice someone following him?" Of course he would! I'm much better trained than that! [No, I think the Madrigals trained me better than the Lucians did you.] I used one of our new devices to hack into his GPS and took a different route to the location.
A movie theater. That's normal enough right? But then he opened the passenger door for a girl. That cheating jerk! I thought. Well… I thought something else but I'm not going to repeat it no matter how many times Ian begs me.
So I followed them.
The problem, I didn't have a ticket. The solution, it's not hard to sneak in.
I don't know what movie they saw, it wasn't important. I simply focused on not getting caught.
But I couldn't shake the feeling that I wasn't the only one being sneaky around here.
When the movie ended I noticed, this was kind of creepy. It's not like I counted how many tines they kissed (three) or how long they held hands (All but the last 5.4 minutes on the movie) but I still felt like a stalker.
I left the theater as soon as the credits started so I'd have time to get ahead.
When Evan and, what appears to be, his other girlfriend came out I realized that I was in a really bad spot. There were no walls to hide behind, not crowds to blend into. Just a storage closet.
So, without thinking, I quickly opened the closet and backed in. But I wasn't alone there. I know because I stepped on their foot.
"Ouch!" they whispered.
"Oh, sorry! I just needed to hide in here. You see, my boyfriend's cheating on me so I was spying-" I babbled.
"Amy? Amy Cahill is that you?"
Okay, so you probably know who it is but you know I still like a cliffhanger. Even if chapter two will be up soon enough. I think I'm putting a hold on my other stories until this is done since it's for a contest.
And, if you've noticed, Ian and Amy are recording their story. The stuff in brackets is Amy talking to Ian in the background and whenever it's Ian's POV it'll be Ian talking to Amy in the background.
Interview:
Me: Amy what did you think?
Amy: Evan wouldn't cheat on me!
Me: Wouldn't he? I think he just did
Amy: That's because all of you guys hate him!
Me: Yes, yes we do.
Amy: *mutters* Crazy fangirls.
Me: Thank you! I take pride in being a crazy fangirl!
Amy: Also I know who it is.
Me: Of course you do but don't spoil it for those who haven't figured it out yet.
Amy: Okay, okay. But why is Saladin being so weird?
Me: That would be a secret.
Director dude: CUT!
