A/N) Hi guys. Guess what? I am updating way, way sooner than planed. I don't know today I was really bored. And strangely I didn't have as much to do as I thought so than I decided to be nice and spend my free bored hour writing this for you instead of watching T.V. Ok enough of that, on with the show...er story. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: You get it already.
"You can't be serious?" A young voice asked in surprise.
"I am, they said it was important...I don't really like the idea myself but...that's just the way they say it has to be." Another voice said wearily.
"But..are they sure she's-"
"I asked that too, and their pretty sure."
The owner of the first voice sighed, "OK then...how are we supposed to do it?"
The second body slumped slightly, "I'll get back to you on that."
"Great."
Rachel woke up, the sun shone in her face brightly signaling it was time to start another day.
Rachel groaned and flipped over tossing her covers over her messy sleep ridden head.
But that was all in vain; a loud knock came at the door, "Miss? Are you up yet?"
Rachel groaned and sat up, she stretched, "Yes, come in." She said between yawns.
Her large white wood door opened a crack, and in came a stout maid dressed in a frilly black dress.
"Good morning Miss. Did you sleep well?" She asked in a slightly high voice while placing down a breakfast tray on Rachel's lap.
"Oh yes, thank you Mirna."
The elderly maid nodded and hurried to Rachel's bathroom, "I'll draw your bath...lavender or blueberries today Miss.?"
Rachel thought a moment chewing on a piece of buttered toast, "Blueberries, please."
Mirna nodded with a kind smile, she had been in the families serves for years. She had practically raised Rachel and her brother, she was more like an aunt then a maid to them. Rachel like her, and she like Rachel.
In a short time Rachel was washed dressed and her hair shimmering and combed. Mirna ad picked a Light blue vest and white quarter sleeve shirt for her to wear. Rachel picked out the bottom, black ankle boots with a crisp black knee-length skirt.
Her father wouldn't let her wear anything shorter...to attracting apparently.
According to Mirna, Rachel had amazing legs, for someone so young.
Finally after saying good-bye to her father and brother, Rachel was on her way to another tortures day in school...she wondered what Cree had planed for her today. Rachel smiled to herself...Cree wasn't the only one with a plan today.
Plus Rachel felt somewhat lighter..maybe it had something to do with Nigel...she really liked him. And judging from yesterday, he liked her back.
She met her friends outside of the school doors..she smiled brightly at them, but it quickly turned down when she saw their faces.
"Hey guys...what's wrong?" She asked.
Abby's dark faced seemed slightly lighter, palish.
"Um...The Alphas..they...you, oh boy." She couldn't finish.
"The Alphas are assigning a HTG , well Cree and Lizzie did anyway."
Rachel raised a blond eye brow, "HTG?"
"Hate That Girl..in this case you..." Kuki said, her violet eyes not so cheery.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means tha' everyone has ta hayte yoo fo' the rest of the week..."
"Oh..."
Nigel scowled, "Don't' worry Rachel, we'll stay by you, these barbarians won't break you that's for sure."
Rachel felt a rush of heat in her cheeks, Nigel seemed overprotective...it was kind of cute and sweet.
"Break me? Is that what they're trying to do to me now..."
They all nodded.
Rachel smiled, "It won't work, look I've come up with an idea that will get these Alphas off of our backs once and for all, you guys with me?"
They all looked at each other slightly nervous, nobody had ever said anything against the Alphas...Nigel stepped forward:
"I'm with you Rachel."
Abby came next, "Me too"
Hank, "In, til we fall out."
Kuki and Wally, "definitely."
"Of course."
"Great, now here's what we're going to do."
They all huddled closer, this ought to be good.
Rachel bent behind the wall that lead to a hall way were Cree and Lizzie were talking to each other.
She looked up, Hank was laying flat on top of their lockers, nobody could see him, he was in place.
She looked a little way down the hall, Wally was hiding behind a water fountain. Good.
Abby and Kuki were hiding in a janitor's closet nearby, and Nigel was coming down the hallway, perfect, now all he had to do was get into position.
Nigel smiled and walked up to the Alpha girls.
They looked at him half confused and half disgusted.
"What do you want?" Cree spat nastily.
Nigel smiled," Oh nothing...say Lizzie, you're looking mighty pretty today in that shirt."
Rachel held her breath...would this work?
Lizzie had a look on her face as if she would throw up...then... she let out a giddy giggle.
Cree looked at her surprised.
"Oh thanks, yeah this shirt is new, bought it this morning, it shows of my curves doesn't it." She giggled, batting her eyelashes flirteiously
Nigel fought back a wince, "Oh yeah totally."
Cree narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "What are you trying to pull Uno." She scowled.
Lizzie ignored her, as Nigel winked, "Only her heart-strings."
Wally let out an audible gag. Rachel froze, making a mental note to kill him for it later. But she had to admit that was pretty lame.
Lizzie didn't think so, she laughed airily, "Aw, that is so cute!"
Cree shook her head, "No, he's up to something, get lost baldie before I make you lost."
Nigel stayed put, "Up to something...maybe your the one who should look UP." With one swift movement he backed up and Hank took his cue.
He dumped a large bucket of green goop on both girls.
In an instant the hallway was filled with shrieks, Wally rose and pressed the fountains button sending something black and sticky shooting out of it, aimed straight toward the gooped girls, then Abby and Kuki burst out, opening the closet door and sent a large bucket full of white feathers in it flying towards the screeching girls.
The bucked skid down the hall, Nigel inconspicuously put his foot out, stopping the bucket and sending it toppling over. The feathers fluttered and stuck all over the screaming Alphas.
Rachel bounced forward and clicked a picture on her camera.
The whole school, which was out now to see what all the commotion was about, froze...then, first one titter, then two, then a louder giggle..then an uproar of laughter burst out from the crowd.
Everyone was laughing at The Alphas, who were clinging to each other horrified.
They laughed and laughed, not once fearing the Alphas before them.
Rachel composed herself from her laughing fit, as she stepped forward.
"So who here thinks That these Alphas are going to pay us back for this prank!"
Everyone raised their hands.
"OK sure, they would if they could, but they can't, not anymore. If they want to exact revenge they have to do it against each one of us. After all we all laughed at them."
Rachel's voice rang out in the now silent hallway.
Everyone was listening, hanging on her words with surprise.
"Separate they can, like me, but together, against us all they can't do a thing. They're just four people and only two actually do anything. Yet we fear them. Why? Believe it or not I bet none of us really know."
A murmur of agreements came to this.
"They make us afraid of embarrassment, of cruelty from the public so they won't suffer the embarrassment of the public, and there you have it again, it's the Public, the people, us, that really hold the power. We can decide things for our selves, we don't have to fear them anymore, we don't have to be afraid of their revenge, we can change that."
Her voice rang out clear and confident to those listening ears, her friends were a part of them. They were surprised by her and pleased, maybe Rachel really could make a difference,
"You can't tell me that you actually like being ruled like this, with fear. Look around you, everybody and everything is gray...do we still want that!?"
Her voice rose and rang out at the last sentence.
A soft murmur answered,
"I said, Do we want this!?"
"No"
"I can't hear you!"
"No."
"No"
"NO!"
"That's right!" She was really riled up now.
"So what are we going to do? Make our own rules that's what! We don't need a Alpha rulers, this is high school for crying out loud, we all are here to learn, to become the people we want to become. And these STUDENTS stand in our way because they fear they can't become something."
Everyone cheered, Cree and Lizzie gulped and clung to each other tighter, this was bad...very bad.
"Are we going to let them rule us anymore?!"
"NO!"
Rachel smiled triumphantly, "We can be our selves, we will be our selves! Who's with me!"
A loud cheer broke out, this was without a doubt, the most historical event this school had ever had.
Boys whistled and stamped their feet, Girls squealed and clapped wildly, everyone just let loose. And Rachel's friends couldn't have been prouder...especially Nigel.
Then a loud voice rang out, "STOP!"
Everyone instantly dropped and turned, gasping.
Cree and Lizzie smiled relived.
It was Chad and Maurice.
Rachel stood there defiant, she glared at them directly.
"What is going on?" Chad demanded.
Cree spoke up, "This Girl...look at what she did to us! And now she's trying to start a..a..a revolution!" She broke out angrily
Lizzie whimpered in agreement, trying to get some feathers off of her yellow blouse.
Chad's electric blue eyes snapped on to Rachel's determined Chocolate brown ones.
Maurice herded the people in the hall, "OK, OK, shows over, come on, move it."
"NO!" Rachel shouted, "They're trying to take us back, come on guys don't let them, you can't stay afraid."
Everyone eyed each other, Then a large boy in a football jersey stepped forward, "The girls are one thing but the guys..."
Rachel's heart sank, no way was all her hard work and risks going down the drain because of a couple of guys that didn't even do anything, except walk around like they owned the place...even if one of them technically did own the place, but still.
She straightened and glared at Chad, who was now a few feet in front of her.
"You see what's going on here right?" She said icily.
"Sure." Was his simple straight answer, "Your trying to start a revolution to break apart The Alphas."
Rachel frowned, the room was deathly silent, "Not trying, doing." She said coldly, "What are you going to do about it, we're the majority, you are only four, even you can't be so dumb as to think that you an actually have a chance to stop us."
Everyone gasped, nobody had ever talked to Chad Dixon like this. Nobody ever dared to.
He looked back, no emotion what-so-ever in his cold blue eyes. "I see, and your right."
Everyone gasped again.
"What?" Rachel blinked surprised.
"You heard me, you don't want any more Alphas, then there aren't going to be any more Alphas."
Once again a loud gasp.
"This...This is a trick, a joke, you wouldn't..."
"I do, truth be told I'm sick of all this mess, fear and embarrassment. It isn't worth anything. God knows I have enough things to deal with, and besides I don't think you would ever give up if you didn't win."
Rachel looked at this strange boys face... he was definitely odd, what was it that made him look so...different. His eyes, they held a look...something she couldn't quite place just yet. But he was serious. She just didn't expect to win so soon, she was slightly disappointed that it had been so easy but happy and relived at the same time.
"So..no more bossing us, no more pranks, no more embarrassments, no more Alphas?" She asked eying him carefully.
He stuck out a strong hand, never breaking eye contact, "No more Alphas, that's it, you win. Deal."
She looked at the apprehensive crowd behind him, at her friends urging looks, at Cree's and Lizzy's shocked faces...At Maurice's large bright white smile...?
Then last at the tall blond boy who led The Alphas in the first place...he was really going to give it up, though his reasons were unclear. She was sure he must have some really strange reasons to give up so easily. But none the less he was serious and if he ever went back on this word...that would strip him of a mans honor...if he had any.
Rachel straightened, she shook his hand firmly, "Deal."
One brief shake.
A loud cheer went up, the students were finally free!
Granted it was easier than expected but hey, what ever works.
They snatched Rachel up before she could blink and carried her away down the hall chanting her name.
Rachel was their new hero.
"I can't believe you did that!" Cree's coarse voice yelled.
Chad was sitting in a seat at the Ice Kings in a relaxed manner. After the little liberty episode last week, Cree had been barking down his neck. He didn't really care, but it was getting annoying. He had enough to deal with already.
And anyway the school had lightened up tremendously, nobody walked in fear anymore, they all walked freely. Nobody worried about The Alphas any more because there weren't any. It was a huge relief and freedom of fear. It lightened the grayness of the sad school, it was quite a different place then when Rachel first came here.
Rachel...Chad mulled..He'd heard enough about this girl from the beginning and now he had to... never mind what he had to do, she was definitely a spicy girl, a worthy leader...not something you saw in to many girls these days. Huh, he didn't really like her...but she did deserve a little respect.
"...And now we are nothing, just like all of them! Riff Raff!" Cree shouted thumping her fist on the table.
Chad shook his head, "Sorry Cree I got more important things to deal with, see you tomorrow." With that he stood up and walked out.
Maurice was walking up at that moment, "Hey man," he greeted brightly, he had also lightened up since the disperse of The Alpha title, though only Chad knew why.
"Sup' Maurice." He greeted back lazily.
"Aw nothin...'sep that girl, Rachel, wow she is something...nobody ever had the guts to do what she did and is still doing."
"Doing?" Chad raised an eyebrow at his dark friend.
"Yeah, the whole town knows her now, she's brightened it up, you know." Maurice smiled to himself.
He had a feeling this girl was going to do something good. And here she was a new comer to this sad town, she was brightening it considerably. He liked her, though he would never tell Cree that. Now Cree hated this girl more than anything...he'd have to be careful on his objective.
"Yeah I know...weird, but I see where They're coming from, this girl is definitely something to keep an eye on."
Maurice nodded, "Yep...question is how?"
"Wow Rachel this is amazing!" Kuki shrilled bubbly, skipping around Rachel's bent figure.
Rachel smiled and looked up at her cheery Asian friend. A short silky strand of blonde hair fell on her face as she bent to pick up a pile of papers.
"Yeah," she blew up making the hair fly but fall back, "I'm glad you think so...it took a lot," She blew again, the hair came stubbornly back, "A lot to set it all up, I hope your dance team is ready for it." She blew once more to no avail.
Kuki giggled, "Your so cute when you do that!" She remarked with a huge smile.
Rachel smiled, "Cute, yeah right..." She straightened and went farther backstage. She put down the large pile of admission forms she had.
"You're the one that's cute Kuki, look at you."
Kuki blushed slightly, she was wearing a knee-length silky green dress. She had on white stockings and bright green satin ballet slippers. Her hair was up in a high, long, shiny, black pony tail. She did come off as cute.
"Aw thanks Rachel, your to perfect."
Rachel opened her mouth to say something but a chores of violins burst out from the stage.
"That's your cue, get moving." Rachel shooed her friend forward.
"Break a leg!" She called as Kuki and a small group of other dancers tip toed forward.
Rachel smiled as a loud cheer went up from the audience, This was a good idea to brighten and entertain the people of this city. And to give Kuki and her friends a chance to show what they could do.
She had without a doubt helped somewhere, and that made her feel pretty good.
Even if SOME people were her enemies for life...
There got that off of my brain...let me know how it turned out because for some reason I rewrote it like three times and I still don't feel it. I don't know tell me what you think, was it horrible or was it totally awesome? Tell me or forever hold your peace...? Um ok...never mind on the forever hold your peace thing...just leave a review ok.
Peace out yo's.
