Chapter 9

It was Wednesday night and Cassie was covered in lilac paint. She had been painting since she came home from school. Each of the group picked a room and got to work now, 4 hours later they were eventually done.

"Thanks' guys I know you'd much rather be doing other things then painting this old place." Cassie said as they all headed home.

"Nonsense at this rate we'll be moving you in on Friday" Laurel said whilst juggling various tins of unused paint.

"Here give me some of those. Can't have you falling flat on that pretty face can we." Said a bright red Chris - red from the paint, not embarrassment - as he took the tins off Laurel.

"Ohhh thanks, the red highlights go well with your blond hair." She joked as they walked down the road.

Cassie turned around to inspect the house. It really did look like a different place. There was no furniture here at the moment as they had to take everything out to paint but it still was starting to look more homely.

Nick came down the stairs with flecks of green paint all over him. He looked like he had some wired sort of chicken pox so Cassie started to laugh.

"Well I'm glad to see I amuse you. It was hell trying to paint that bathroom." He complained.

"Let's get you into a bath before someone thinks you've got a disease." Cassie pulled him from the house and locked it up before heading back to Nick's.

Nick woke up on Thursday morning to an empty bed and no sign of Cassie in his room at all.

Panicking he ran downstairs to see if he could find her. Starting to get worried when she was nowhere to be found, Nick heard laughter from Deborah's room.

Bursting in with just his shorts on Nick nearly fainted at the sight.

Cassie was getting a Deb style makeover. She had thick black eyeliner on with leather trousers and a tight Black t-shirt. Her hair was backcombed and she had biker boots on.

"What the hell . . ." he stared at her not caring that at the sight of him Deborah, Dianna and Suzan burst into fits of laughter again.

"Hey, what do you think?" Cassie asked posing for him looking very sexy in her leather outfit.

"I . . . uh. . . You look. . Ummm" He stuttered not knowing how to put it into words.

"Don't you like it?" she asked looking sad.

"NO, I think it's amazing it's just . . . why are you dressed like that?" asking a question of his own.

"That's my fault" Dianna answered "I signed us up to a charity event, were dressing out of the ordinary, that's why Deb's got a skirt on and Suzan's got a turtle neck on" she explained.

After finally getting his head around the way Cassie was dressed. Half an hour hater he was ready to go himself. Wearing a red v-neck and denim shorts found in the bottom of his wardrobe they took off to school.

If you were stood outside the school at this very moment you would not have believed your eyes as the club turned up wearing some very unusual clothes.

Cassie was a biker. Nick was actually wearing colour. Suzan was all covered up. Deborah was wearing a skirt. Chris had his hair straightened and was wearing a suit whilst Doug had a Mohawk and cowboy boots. Laurel was very revealing in a pink dress. Melanie had fake tattoos and pink highlights and Adam was wearing a black trench coat and a black baseball cap.

The group had never looked so strange and out of character as they did for this event.

If everyone in school didn't know about it they would have thought they were dreaming.
