I looked down at those two, Mei and Tara. (Mei is Meela's nickname.) The incorruptible, evil duo. Tara was all in her 'hyper mode', while Mei was…. Being normal. Slowly. Mei stood up and started checking her hair, which was up in reddish brown buns. (If you can't stick it up, clip it!) After about 5 minutes of adjusting, she helped up a weary looking Tara and grinned.
"What did you do now?" I said, frowning. "Did you set Eric on fire again? Cause if you did…"
"No." Tara said, sighing.
"Anything to do with explosives, weapons?" I said, putting my hands on my hips.
"No." Mei said, sighing. "My sticks are in my backpack, though."
"Did you mutate Hampton the Hamster?" I said, wrinkling my nose.
"No." Tara and Mei said in a chorus.
"Well." I said, a bit stunned and surprised. "That wasn't a normal day for you, was it?"
"We stole a book." Tara said, taking an extremely old looking book out.
"Tara." Mei said, grabbing the book from Tara and shoving it at me. "It's not called stealing; it's called borrowing for an extended period of time. So whaddya think?"
"I think the librarian's gonna kill you." I said, wiping the dust from the book.
"What's it say?" Tara said.
"The…. Lord…. of…the…. Rings." I said, reading the title. "Wow! It's Tolkien!"
"Probably FIRST EDITION!" Mei shouted. "We could make a KILLING selling it!"
"Maybe…" I said, sighing and giving it to Tara. "Forget it. Let's go get some ice cream and think it over."
Slowly, Tara and I grabbed our bikes, while Mei grabbed her skates, and we slowly biked and skated over to the Ice Cream parlor on the boulevard. As we biked and skated over, we talked gossip, from the fact that Lee got suspended for beating these two girls with a badminton racket, to the fact that LotR wasn't real.
We walked into the ice cream parlor, Tara and I parking our bikes and Mei just going in with her skates. (The people who worked there didn't mind that much.) Suddenly, we were jumped by those two boys Stu and Steve. Stu tried to grab at the book, but received a blow to the head by Mei. Soon, it was an all-out waging war between the boys and us. All over some stupid book. As Kate came running over, a bright light encased us and I was knocked unconscious.
(Author's note: I'm sorry that it's so short, but I'm too lazy to write more, so… wait until the next chapter. I'll try to lengthen it.)
