The Explosion

Chapter 1: Little Phoney stuff

"'Hey! We got an invite to a party! :) I'll give you the details l8er. Meet me at the rock after school! L8er ;)' This text was an exciting one from one of my best friends, Robin. I smiled.

'KK sista :) Don't forget to leap Eeyore :) Lol can't wait l8er,' I text back. I walked slowly into my torture for the next 90 minutes of my life-Study Hall. The bell rang and I rushed to reach my seat.

'Pull out your work… and I see you. You're late. Do you have a pass missy?' She looked at me with evil eyes.

'No, I am sorry it will not happen again Miss. Gretel.' I said acting apologetic. I truly did not care. I walked to my seat quickly. I sat down and opened my backpack. I didn't want to work so I looked for something to conceal my phone. I had to pick between my history book and my science book. I finally picked history because a lot of the time I have to write stuff when I work on science. I pulled out my huge history book and put it up. I pulled out my phone to see a text on it.

'Kill me now please' it said. I checked to see who had text me. It was Crystal or as I like to call her Tigger.

'Only if u kill me 1st,' I text back.

'If I kill u u can't kill me silly ;)' she text back.

'Hmm… guess it will have to be a combined effort lol' I text.

'Im in math xP'

'Ha! Im in study hall. That's a million times worse than math. I have to not say a word at all or leave.'

'Oops…caught be teacher! She said she is going to call study hall teachers and tell her to send Pooh Bear down. g2g love ya bye.'

I decided to put the phone down for now just in case. I deleted the messages and shoved it in my pocket. Ring…Ring…Ring… Ms. Gretel jumped up and ran from her desk in the middle of the room to the phone on the wall. 'Hello, Mrs. Gretel's room. Mrs. Gretel speaking…How may I help you?' she listened for almost 5 minutes and then screamed, 'Is this a joke? You want me to send Pooh Bear to your room and confiscate his or her phone! What have the kids shared with you? Pooh Bear is a Disney character! Characters are made-up! Fake! Ms. Raid...'She listened for a few moments more and said, 'Fine! I'll ask and call you back if I find a Pooh Bear' She hung up the phone and said, 'Is there a Pooh Bear in here?'

'Not unless you're referring to your Pooh Bear stocking,' someone said.

'That's a great idea! Umm…Who is bored?' she said. I raised my hand a little too quickly to not be noticed. 'Ok. Faith I want you to take this to Ms. Raid's room and tell her we found Pooh Bear. Ok.'

'Easy enough' I said. I took the stocking from her. I walked out of the now silent room and closed the door with a little click. 'Freedom of speech' I said and then started my slow descent to Ms. Raid's room. I felt a little vibrate in my pocket. I pulled out my phone. The new text was from Bree also known as Piglet.

'My bad hungry Pooh Bear…Wanted by Miss Raid. Lol what did you do?' I decided I had pushed my luck far enough and pushed my phone back into my pocket. As I approached Miss Raid's room I came up with a great idea.

'Excuse me…Miss Raid. I was sent to give you this from Mrs. Gretel. She said to tell you that she found Pooh Bear.' I said

'Very funny,' she said.

'No. You don't understand me. She said she was going to punish her very badly then send her to your room for detention later. She also said not to worry about bringing her phone to the office. She sent me to tell you to wait for the student and send me back with the phone. I am supposed to bring them to the front. I am her aid.' I said very slyly.

'Oh ok.' She went to her desk and grabbed the phone. 'Tell Mrs. Gretel that I trust her work and she does not have to send the kid to me. Thank you… What is your name again?'

'I did not actually tell you my name but it is Amethyst.' I said.

'That is a beautiful name! Thank you Amethyst.'

'You are very welcome Ms. Raid.' I took the phone and walked out. As soon as she was not able to see me I did a happy dance and shoved the phone in my other pocket.

'What took so long?' Mrs. Gretel said.

'Oh well she wanted to make sure I was not Pooh Bear so she checked my messages.'

'Uh…She is so nuts and I'm sorry she went through your messages. I don't think I will talk to her unless I am forced to. Thank you for dealing with her.' She took the stocking back and said, 'Class dismissed' I looked at the clock and was utterly shocked. I shoved my book into my backpack and ran to the rock. I was the only one there so I took off my shoes and stuck my feet in the river. It was colder than yesterday. That meant that winter was coming. I dangled my feet in the water and watched the morphed green toenails wiggle. The glitter looked even better when it was wet.

'Hey Pooh Bear. I heard you got caught.' It was Piglet.

'No! Piglet I did not get caught with my hand in the honey jar, Tigger got caught jumping outside of Rabbit's window.'

'Ahhh. And you saved her butt didn't you.'

'Of course I did.'

Tigger ran up and screamed 'Dude! You saved my phone! Please give it back!'

'I don't have it' I said 'I am truly her aid and she truly got me in trouble.' I looked as if someone had just murdered my dog.

'Then why did you tell her your name was Amethyst…'

'Because that is my real name my mom does not like that name because my dad named me that so she called me Faith.'

'So you seriously do not have my phone!' She was beginning to cry 'My mom is going to kill me'

'No' I said I pulled out her phone and she snatched it out of my hand. 'I love you so much' she hugged her phone.

'And that is why I have to play with ya! You love your phone too much' I said smiling.

'Well, you love the water too much.'

'Huh.'

'You always have your feet in the super cold water. Dude you even put your feet on the ice when there is no water! You're obsessed!'

'Whatever,' I saw Eeyore walking to greet us, 'And the quarrel ends. Eeyore is here.'

'Hey!' Eeyore said 'Did I miss anything important?'

'Not really,' I said 'Just obsessions'

'Well, I have great news!'

'What is it?' Piglet, Tigger, and I said at the same exact moment.

'We have been invited to Colton's party! It is tonight at 7! He said we were the guests of honor!'

'!' Everyone but me screeched.

'Why are you not excited?' Piglet said.

'Well, I can't go…' Before anyone could interrupt I said, 'My mom does not like Colton. Plus, I heard the last guest of honors at Colton's party were not there for honor but for humiliation. And I don't have a single thing to wear."

'But you have to come!' Eeyore said.

'Why, you guys have gone to parties without me before.'

'Well… He kinda wanted to ask you out and told me we were not supposed to come without you… He is going to sing to you! It's important and would be great! Please!"

'He's gonna what?' I said with an amount of hidden enthusiasm. Nobody knew I actually liked him. I had told them so many times that I did not like him.

'Please! Sista you know he likes you and he is greater than you might think! Give him a chance.'
