1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Chapter 6
Most of the homework the Cliffhangers were given that day had been finished before they were to leave for Rusty's. The group was now hanging out at the picnic tables chatting away, anxious to leave.
"When are we leaving again?" Ezra asked to no one in particular.
"Whenever Peter and Sophie feel like coming over here and getting us." Shelby responded looking around exasperated.
"I guess we feel like it then." Peter said strolling up, hearing Shelby's comment.
"Oops." Shelby said looking down; she didn't want to jeopardize their outing.
"Well, guys get going. The van is right there." Peter said pointing at a blue mini-van with "Mount Horizon High School" written on the side. Everyone got up and some walked while others ran to the van. Among the ones walking were David and Kristen.
"Hey, I'll be right back okay?" David told Kristen as he jogged over to Peter.
"Alright." Kristen said as David departed from her side.
Peter and Sophie had been lagging behind the rest of the group so they could have their own conversation.
"Hey, um, Peter?" David approached unsure if he was interrupting an important conversation or not. "Am I interrupting?"
"Hey David, and no, go ahead." Peter said stopping.
"I think I'll go unlock the van." Sophie said and walked off.
Once Sophie was out of hearing range David started, "What about our one-on- one tonight? Isn't it my last session?" he asked avoiding Peter's eyes.
"Tomorrow we'll have your session. Is that alright?" Peter asked and David nodded.
"Okay." David said and ran off to find Kristen. Peter walked casually to the van, making the group impatient.
"Take any longer Peter?" Shelby asked sarcastically.
"Oh, I could have. You wanna see?" Peter asked as he stopped turning the key.
"No, I rather not." Shelby said and leaned back into her seat.
"Good." Peter said and started the van. They soon reached Rusty's and everyone piled out eagerly. David hopped out and looked around. Down the road a bit was a gas station, David tried to calculate the amount of time it would take to get there and back to Rusty's without being noticed that he was gone.
"Hey David, Rusty's is this way." Peter shouted and David turned and nodded. He followed Peter into the restaurant. David looked around for Kristen and found her sitting at a table, away from everyone else. He strolled over and sat down across from her.
"Hey." David said and smiled.
"Hey, when do you want me to distract Peter and Sophie?" Kristen asked, getting to business.
"Um, let's do that later or something." David said wanting to think about something else for the time being.
" Okay, what do you want to do?" Kristen asked looking around the room.
"How about pool?" David asked seeing the vacant pool table.
"Sure." Kristen said and they both got up. "Don't we need someone to play against?" she asked picking up a stick.
"Not really, but if you want we could find someone." David said looking around.
"We'll play you." Daisy said walking up to the table with Ezra.
"Alright." David said taking a stick from the rack. Daisy and Ezra both got their sticks and the game started.
"Who'll brake?" Ezra asked looking at the three.
"I will." David said and smirked, "I don't think you could handle it Ezzzzra." He said lining up his shot.
"I could break it." Ezra protested.
"Sure." David said and hit the white ball; which flew straight for the balls at the other end of the table, perfect break. Ezra looked away. The game proceeded with David sinking most of his shots. Ezra tried his best but would mess up easy shots. Or, so David called them.
"Eight ball, side pocket." David said after he sank the last solid ball. "Yes!" David said as the eight ball disappeared in the left side pocket.
"Like no one knew he'd make it." Ezra said rolling his eyes.
"Jealous?" David smirked at Ezra.
"No!" Ezra said and walked away.
"Well, that was fun." Daisy said and walked over to David. "Could I talk to you for a second?" she asked and David nodded.
"Um, Kristen, I'll be right back." David said and followed Daisy to a booth and sat on the opposite side of her. Kristen had nodded and decided to talk to Ezra.
"Yes?" David asked once they sat down.
"Do you really like Kristen?" Daisy asked and David gave her a look.
"Why wouldn't I? I asked her out." David said and Daisy nodded.
"Alright, but she doesn't really seem like she likes you. This is just what I'm getting, you know vibe-wise." Daisy said and David rolled his eyes.
"The vibes I feel are good so you may want to re-feel them." David said getting up. Daisy sighed but let him leave. Soon everyone was set to eat dinner.
"Look at all the choices." Shelby said flipping the menu from the front to the back.
"Hey, let's show some manners here." Peter said sternly to Shelby.
"Yes, master." She responded and Peter gave her a cautioning glare. Shelby looked at the menu without another word.
"Do we have a limit?" Ezra asked nonchalantly.
"Yes, you guys can buy anything you want, just as long as the total isn't above five dollars." Peter replied and looked over the menu. Everyone ordered, a few coming close to the limit (A/N: this could be possible, right?).
"Um…" David said looking at Kristen then at the clock. Kristen nodded and pulled out a five-dollar bill and slipped it under the table to David. David took it and put it in his pocket, unnoticed. "Now how am I supposed to get out without Peter and Sophie noticing?" David asked looking at the situation.
"Leave it to me." Kristen said lining her glass up with Shelby's and Scott's.
"Okay." David said confused. He ate another fry as Kristen lightly pushed her glass so it fell onto Shelby's, who's collided with Scott's. Everyone stood up freaking out that the liquid might get on them. David slowly slinked away.
Once outside, David looked back at the restaurant and smiled.
"Piece of cake." He said and jogged lightly to the gas station. He opened the door and jumped a bit as a ding went off when he walked in. The clerk at the register coughed a laugh and buried his head in the magazine he was reading. David glared at the clerk's head before criss-crossing the aisles. Finding the correct aisle, David scanned the various boxes. He scrunched up his forehead in a confused gesture. "Who would have thought they'd have extra-small." David thought and just grabbed a box, not the extra-small one. He lightly tossed the box on the counter, getting the attention of the clerk.
"Is this all?" the clerk asked and David nodded tapping his fingers on the counter, nervously. The clerk scanned the box and the register bleeped and turned off. "Aw, shit, not again." The clerk said and banged the machine.
"Um, what happened?" David asked looking at the blank price screen.
"Don't worry, it'll be back on in ten minutes." The clerk said and sat down and reopened the magazine.
"I don't have ten minutes so just take this five-dollar bill and just keep the change." David said and grabbed the box.
"Do you want a bag with that?" the clerk asked.
"Sure." David said setting the box back down.
"Paper or plastic?" the clerk asked lifting up two bags.
"Forget it." David said and grabbed the box running out and back to the restaurant. While jogging back he put the box in his pants pocket, it wasn't too noticeable. He slipped back into Rusty's and walked over to Kristen who was talking with Daisy. "Uh, this could be bad…" David thought and walked up behind Kristen.
"…You're just jealous because he likes me and not you!" Kirsten shot.
"Um, I'm not jealous, I'm glad he found someone but I don't like the one he found." Daisy said glaring at Kristen.
"Hey." David said grabbing Kristen's waist and pulling her to him. "No need to fight over me." David coughed a laugh.
"David, I really think you should find someone else…" Daisy said softly.
"Daisy, don't worry about me… I think you should be worrying about Ezra and not me." David said and walked away with Kristen.
"Of course he wouldn't believe me… he's still bitter about me picking Ezra." Daisy thought then sat down at a booth.
After a few more minutes, Peter called for everyone's attention and told them that they were going to leave. Everyone groaned because they didn't want to go back just then. Soon everyone was dragging their feet out to the van.
"Peter can't we just stay five minutes longer?" Juliet whined.
"Sorry, no can do. You guys have a lot to do tomorrow, don't want to have you all tired." Peter said as he opened the van's door. The Cliffhangers all climbed in and Scott slammed the door shut. Peter climbed in after a few and started the engine. The van slowly went back to Mount Horizon High School.
Peter parked the van in front of the lodge and let everyone out. He told Sophie to make sure they all got to their respective dorms. Sophie nodded and shooed the couples apart. Peter went to his office and grabbed a file then left. Sophie was waiting in the van when he got back.
"Ready to go?" Peter asked climbing in. Sophie nodded and Peter ignited the engine and slowly drove to his house.
The green, neon numbers on David's clock flicked to one o'clock. He slowly got up and wiped the sleep out of his eyes. He did everything slowly and tried to be as quiet as possible. Luckily, no one woke up and he slipped to the shed.
Kirsten woke up a bit later, saw the numbers on the clock and scrambled out of bed. She threw on her coat and shoes while trying not to wake anyone. Daisy stirred in her bed but didn't wake. Kirsten breathed a sigh of relief. She walked out not noticing the figure that followed close behind her.
She reached the barn and walked quickly in. Accidentally, she bumped into David who gave a small shout of surprise.
"Sorry." Kirsten said between low laughs.
"Eh, it's okay." David said smiling and wrapping his arms around Kristen.
"So, when are we gonna start?" Kirsten said seductively and kissed him.
"How 'bout now?" David said and kissed her back passionately.
"Oh this is gonna be good. The general's son is gonna get in major trouble." Thought the figure hiding in the shadows.
A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUNNNNN…. Heh. Well, I finally finished chapter 6! Oooh, so suspenseful! Who is the figure in the shadows? What do David and Kirsten really do? LoL Like that isn't obvious. Heh. Well, this week is going to be very crazy for me. I am doing sound for the musical and god there's tons of shiat I have to learn. Tomorrow is my first, real test. OMG I'm sooooooo scared! Pray I don't mess up and kill everyone with feedback. Heh. I think there will be only two more chapters after this one. I may actually finish a fan fic! OMG! It's gonna be cool, I'm gonna throw me a party! ( Well, This is a very long A/N so nite everyone.
P.S. Can I have at least five reviews, I know I said it didn't matter, I'd post anyways but the encouragement helps. Makes me feel special. So please just five people review. Chapter five reviews was pitiful, I got two. Two! So PWEASE I'm on my knees!!!! Thanks I love you guys! ;)
