Jades POV
I woke up the next morning to the sound of Beck's alarm clock. I groaned and rolled over, pushing Beck right off the bed. I slammed my hand on his alarm clock to stop the noise.
"Ouch!" Beck called from the floor.
"Suck it up," I muttered, pulling a pillow over my head to stop the intruding light from meeting my eyes.
"Jade, you have to wake up. We need to get to school early to talk to Sikowitz. C'mon, wakey, wakey my darling," he said, shaking me. He left to the bathroom and I rolled out of bed 45 minutes earlier than normal. I dragged myself over to the drawer with my clothes, and pulled out black jeans and shirt. I felt myself slip out of my pajamas, but I was not mentally there. I don't function in mornings. I was hooking up my bra when Beck came out of the bathroom fully dressed and ready. I slipped my shirt on and walked over to the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I splashed some water on my face and dried it off with a towel. I looked in the mirror, more alert and awake now, and applied my mascara and eyeliner.
"Jade! Let's go!" I heard Beck call 20 minutes later. I threw my stuff in my bag and grabbed my boots. I ran barefoot out to Beck's car where he was waiting and hopped in the passenger seat. He drove off, and I started lacing up my combat boots.
"So we go to Sikowitz's and ask him to cooperate with our plan. If he says no, we bribe him with $100, which we will 'give' to him on a later date, and if he still says no, then we force him with my little friend," I muttered, pulling out my favorite pair of scissors.
"Sounds good, but we're not actually gonna hurt him, right?" Beck asked, giving me a scared smile.
"We'll see," I said, returning his smile.
We pulled up to the school and hopped out. I was usually the last one in the doors at school, so it seemed weird going in when only a few nerds where there. I grabbed Beck's hand and scowled at anyone who said something along the lines of "Why are THEY here this early?" or "Maybe Jade got them in trouble and they have to go to Lane's before school." I strutted over to my locker and got out my stuff, and then waited patiently as Beck got his stuff.
"You're clear locker's pathetic. What if I asked you to put my thong in there? Then everyone could see it," I said. He shrugged.
"Why would you ask me to put your thong in there?" He smiled. I frowned and thought for a second.
"Because Lane is checking my locker for any dangerous items and I don't want him to see it."
"Okay then. But why couldn't you leave your thong at the RV? Or maybe wear it," he suggested, wiggling his eyebrows.
"I can't leave it at the RV, because your mom might see it, and but I suppose I could wear it, because nobody, and I mean NOBODY will get to see it," I said, smirking at his disappointed face. We walked to Sikowitz's and knocked on the door. Nobody opened it. I jiggled the handle, but it was locked. I peeked in the window and didn't see anyone, so I grabbed a bobby pin out of my bag.
"What're you doing?" Beck asked.
"Picking the lock," I said, satisfied when the lock clicked. I opened the door and walked inside. At first I didn't see anyone, but then I heard a loud snore coming from the left, and looked over to where Sikowitz was sleeping on a bed contraption he had made. I walked over to him.
"Sikowitz, wake up!" I screamed. He jolted awake and looked around.
"Who's there? Jade? Beck? What are you kids doing here so early?"
"We need to talk to you," I said, putting down my bag. "We have a plan to get Cat back, and we need your help. Can you help us?" I asked.
"I believe I already said no." Sikowitz said, crossing his arms.
"Well okay, then I guess bad things will happen when you don't do what that phone message told you too," I muttered, loud enough for him to hear. His eyes went wide.
"What did the message say?" He asked.
"Why should we tell you? All you need to do is make Hensworth dude believe that his plan is going okay so he doesn't hurt Cat so we have enough time to get her out," I said.
"Please tell me. The man won't hurt Cat, all he wants is money, and Cat will have an even better life than she could have with you and your mom, Jade." Sikowitz pleaded.
"No. I'm certain Cat doesn't want to live with the man that killed her mom. You either go with our plan, or you NEVER find out what that phone message said." I said, locking my jaw. Sikowitz sighed.
"Okay. What do you need me to do?"
"We need you to pick up a bag of money by the big oak tree on Rustic Lane today at 7. Then, do whatever else Hensworth asks you do to EXCEPT bribe my mother with the money. If he has nothing else for you to do, then go home and take out…500,000 bucks for you to keep. The rest of the money is going back to the charity where they belong. Got it?" I said. He nodded.
"Good. Now, meet me and Beck here at around 6 tonight. We will be dressed in black." I said, and walked out the door.
"That went well," Beck muttered. We went out into the main hallway, which was now flooding with people.
"Yeah, now we have to get Andre, Robbie, and Tori on board, which might me a little bit harder."
Well, there. Its 1002 words, so it's medium sized. I'm extremely disappointed that I only got 1 review, thank you Jeremy Shane, virtual cookies to you. Now, I plan on writing again when there are at least 5 more reviews, that's not a lot to ask for. R&R please.
