This is the prologue of my first multichapter horror story; Secrets. Enjoy.
Prologue: The Day Before
"I can't believe we have to share a bus with them! Them of all people!" Stella groaned.
"Sweetie, we don't have much of a choice." Flora reasoned out. "All the other buses are full, and the only one left is a mini-bus that fits twelve. We were the second to the last to register, they were the last to register. I'm sorry."
"This isn't your fault, Flo. No need to apologize for anything." Musa said, rubbing her friend's shoulder. Flora sighed and smiled at Musa.
"You do know who's going to be with us, right?" Bloom said, joining the conversation.
"I think she doesn't." Layla butted in.
"Who are gonna be with us?" Musa asked, brows scrunching in confusion.
"Sky Anderson, Brandon Chase, Nabu Collins, Timmy Wilson, Helia Jones, and Riven Hale." Stella recited.
"A.k.a., Musa's ex." Tecna pointed out.
"Riven's going to be here? Oh no, I hate him!" Musa exclaimed.
"We figured." Layla muttered.
"Musa," Flora started, "sweetheart, you have us here with you. We'll make sure he doesn't hurt you. In worst case scenarios, we'll defend you if he starts hurting you physically!"
Stella grinned and wrapped her arms around Flora's shoulders, and said, "Can we just appreciate for a moment that God gave us Flora, the voice of reason, and the sweetest sweetheart in the world, to be our best friend?"
The girls all gave Flora a hug, and she laughed.
"Thanks girls. I'm really lucky to have you all as my best friends."
"Well, well, well." A mocking voice came from behind them. The girls turned around to see the guys smirking at them. "Who do we have here?"
"Brandon." Stella hissed.
Timmy smirked and said, "Stella McLean. Fashion obsessed, boy crazy, and just plain nuts. Bloom Embers. Just as boy crazy and nuts as McLean, has temper issues. Tecna Sanders. Computer geek, nerd, overachiever. Musa Chang. Typical Asian girl with a typical Asian father, music-obsessed, and a walking time bomb. Layla Waters. Swimmer, dancer, but obviously has no talent in both. And last, but definitely not least, Flora Thorne. Tree hugging hippie, nature freak."
After Timmy's descriptions, the girls were practically red with anger. Tecna was the first to recover.
"Brandon Chase," she mimicked, "manwhore. Same goes for Timmy Wilson, who is much more of a nerd than I am, Sky Anderson, who doesn't even know what the word 'vocabulary' means, Nabu Collins, someone who couldn't even swim for his life, Helia Jones, an art freak, and probably a closet homo, and last, but definitely not least, Riven Hale, someone that has had more girlfriends than he has clothes."
That wiped the smirks off the guys' faces.
Suddenly, their principal, Miss Faragonda's voice was heard.
"Juniors! Thanks to your early registration for this year's school trip, we will be able to have it in three days."
The juniors, including the girls and the guys, cheered.
"BUT!" Faragonda started, and there were groans heard all over the cafeteria.
"We need two more buses, because two buses from the place we rented it from had a change of plans at the last minute. If you know anyone who will be able to help, please notify us immediately. Thank you, and enjoy your lunch."
Students started whispering and complaining.
"How are we going to get two buses on such a short notice?" Tecna asked, brows furrowing in concentration.
"Aren't you supposed to be smart?" Riven raised an eyebrow.
Flora sighed and quietly brought out her phone. She dialed a number and raised it to her ear.
"Hey dad... Yeah, kinda... See, we need two buses for the trip, and I figured that maybe you could... Yeah, okay... Mm-hmm... Okay... Thanks dad, I love you!"
Everybody stared at her.
"Who was that on the phone?" Sky asked.
"It was my dad. I didn't know you were deaf." Flora icily responded.
Before Sky could defend himself, Faragonda's voice was once again heard.
"Students, I bear good news!"
The juniors' heads snapped up, hoping for a miracle.
"The president of Linphea Corporations generously lent us two buses for the trip!"
Everyone cheered, and Flora smiled.
"What did you do?" Timmy asked her, suspicously.
Flora shrugged. "I just called my dad."
"Who just happens to be the president of Linphea Corporations?" Tecna raised an eyebrow at her.
"Well... yeah." The brunette said, sheepishly.
"It doesn't matter." Riven said, "At least we get to go on the trip."
The guys started walking away. Flora sighed.
I have a feeling this trip isn't going to be what it seems to be. After all, me and my friends plus their group is going to be a disaster.
That's the first chapter! Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Put it in a review!
So, for the pairs, I'm pro'lly gonna use MOST of the canons, but I'm gonna tweak some a bit. I'm thinking of using a Bad Boy/Good Girl pair because, let's face it, when you're with someone who's similar to who you are, it's a disaster. Like, seriously. If both of you are quiet and shy and reserved, you'll probably end up being the boring kind of couple that's never even kissed after 3 years of dating. It both of you are spunky and bad, it'll be too much fighting, until there'll be a major fallout between you. (at least that's what I think.) So yeah, I'll probably be using a BB/GG pairing, although, I don't know who to use. :/ Suggestions? Comments? Questions? Put it in a review! (sorry, just had to use that twice)
