Chapter 14 - The Small Bag

Nina's POV

I walked into school with Amber and Fabian by my side. I reached my locker when I saw a sign about the X Off being here. I remember being told about that...

"Guys what's this about?" I asked.

"The finals for the X Off are going to be here, they told us last night!" Amber said chirpily. I swallowed nervously. Chances are that we won't get into the finals, but if we did...

"Thats.. great!" I said slowly. They looked at me, concerned when Joy came running up to us.

"Sorry! I have to steal Nina for a second!" Joy grabbed my arm at pulled me away from my friends. She dragged me round the corner and into an empty classroom, shutting the door behind her.

"I saw Patricia!" Joy burst out. I raised an eyebrow. "And she was spiking someones drink!" Whoa, what?!

"Are you sure? I know Patricia's evil but she wouldn't stoop that low... Right?" I asked uncertainly - more to myself.

"I don't know! She got a bottle of water, and popped like 10 things in there from that small bag Caro gave her!" Joy cried.

"Joy, I do believe you, but we need proof.. Before that bottle reaches the person it was meant for." I reasoned. At least I knew what Caroline had given her.. I just wanted to know who would get it and when, plus what happens.

"Nines, what if it's for you?" Joy quietly said. I shrugged.

"I'm pretty sure it's going to be for me.. I guess I won't let Patricia give me anything and I don't think shes going to kill me either." I said smiled a little, but worry still shown on her face as her forehead creased in thought.

"Let's get to class." I told her. She nodded before following me out the door silently. We walked down the hall which was nearly empty and headed into the laboratory swiftly as the teacher shot us an ice glare for being late. I'm guessing shes a substitute as I've never seen her before.

"Right everyone! I have placed 10 bottles of water at the front! Your job is too pick one per table and each take a drink and try and see if there's anything different, right down your observations and switch bottles! There are no toxic chemicals involved, just salt, sugar, pepper, lemon ect! Pick one and get to work! Don't add anything else to the water!" Our science teacher screamed at us.

"I'll go get it!" Eddie volunteered. I nodded. Surprisingly, Eddie had joined our table meaning it was me, Amber, Fabian and Eddie and the other table had Joy, Patricia, Alphie and Jerome. Sure enough to say that Patricia was pissed and everyone else confused.

Patricia's POV

I patted my bag protectively. Following all of Caroline's orders, I was now ready to go. Just a switch. I had the easy part.

I smiled deviously. I wonder how Caroline convinced the teachers to do this, after all it can be highly dangerous if someones messes up whats in the water, that is why they stopped this in schools. Then again the teacher seemed quite odd. I looked at her more closely to find her staring at me dead on - then giving me a sly wink before looking down at the desk. Wow, nice job Caro! I waited till all the tables had gotten them and only 1 bottle was left. I walked over with my bag and sneakily switched the bottles. I was about to leave when I had a guilty feeling rush through my stomach. Maybe I shouldn't... After all I put 12 in there... I picked up the water and turned to leave when I heard a voice.

"Is that the last bottle?" Somebody asked shocked. I turned nervously. Keep it on track, no backing out now!

"Yeah.. Oh wait! My table already has one, here you go Eddie! Sorry. By the way, I heard Nina as great taste buds, you should try her first!" I finished with a flip of my hair and as I strutted back to my table with a smirk on my face.

So much for having an easy job.. You get the guilt afterwards. But another part of me was happy.

Mission Accomplished.

Nina's POV

Eddie came back with the bottle and placed it in the middle. We all stared at it.

"I can't see anything.." Fabian stated.

"Thanks Captain Obvious!" Amber replied. I let out a little giggle before reaching out for it.

"Maybe if we shake it?" I asked, shaking it up and down anyways.

"And still nothing!" Eddie said.

"Okay, I guess were going to have to try drinking..." Amber said uncertainly. I watched as Amber continued to stare at it with mixed emotions.

"Amber it's safe!" I told her.

"It might not be..." Fabian agreed, siding with Amber as Eddie just nodded. I scoffed.

"Come on guys! Look, I'll try it first!" I decided. I opened the bottle top and while looking at the three in the eyes, I brought it too my lips and drank a large amount. My mouth felt numb all of a sudden. I ignored it and put it back in the middle.

"See, nothing to worry about!" I said happily. Suddenly my mouth couldn't move. I waved my hands frantically as the numb feeling continued to spread, pins and needles growing all over me. Little sharp stabs every second.

"NINA?!" Eddie and Fabian shouted while Amber started crying. All I saw was everyone rushing to our table and a red haired girl with a guilty face in the background.

It all felt hazy.

Then it was darkness.
