Chapter 7: A Couple Of Ideas (Katie's POV)
"You're kidding!" I shouted to Freddy.
"Evan Wossmer??"
I couldn't believe it. We finally had proof to Zack that Ashley was evil with the only thing that would catch his attention.
Ashley was cheating on him.
"I say we embarrass her in front of Zack." Summer said with her fist in her hand.
"I say we get her sorry ass from coming to the show with us." Alicia said.
"But how are we going to do that?" Billy asked.
"Yeah," Michelle agreed. "We don't have physical proof. All we have is your little sister's gossip."
We all sat there silent at the lunch table. And then it hit me.
"Say you guys, what if we accidentally went through Ashley's locker?" I asked sneakily.
"Katie, you're turning into a bad girl. I like it." Freddy said to me, grinning.
"Okay, Leonard I'm gonna need your lock picker. And Tomika, if Ashley is headed to her locker, you go talk to her. I know you guys have some project for science."
And Freddy took off with Leonard's lock picker. Ashley saw him get up and followed him. So Tomika went over to talk to her.
"Hey Ashley!" Tomika said with a smile.
"Hi Tomika." Ashley said glaring at her.
"So, about that science project..." Tomika started.
"Yeah, about that, I have the dance tonight so could you work on the project for me?" That was really dirty, having Tomika do all the work.
"But, I'm going to the dance too. It doesn't matter." Tomika continued.
"YOU are going to the dance?" Ashley started to laugh.
"Yeah." Tomika said, this time a little quieter. "Who in their right mind would go with YOU to the dance?" Ashley pointed at her.
Then Ashley started laughing with the most obnoxious laugh.
That's when I decided I couldn't take it anymore.
"Look, princess, if you weren't Dewey's niece, right now I'd hurt you." I said. But all Ashley did was laugh again.
"Oh, really? I'd like to see you try to beat 5 years of tae kwon doe." She said.
So I did something that would really hurt her.
Physically and emotionally.
I broke a few of her fingernails.
Ashley started squealing and crying waving her fingers in the air.
"My fingernails! Look what you DID Katie!"
But all I could do was put on an innocent smile. "Whoops, sorry."
Lawrence was doing a project for a/v club, so he whipped out his video camera.
"Smile for the camera." Lawrence said with a smile.
But all Ashley did was run over to the popular table, where Zack was waiting for her.
It was so obvious Ashley was telling him the whole thing because he gave me another one of those evil glares.
Sure, Zack was mad at me, but I got my revenge.
Soon Freddy came back with a crumpled up piece of paper.
"Hey guys, what did I miss?" he asked.
"Well, you just missed Katie break Ashley's fingernails while she ran crying to Zack over there." Billy said. You know, Billy kind of sounds like Freddy's little sister Natalie.
Freddy laughed and said "Go Katie!" then he pulled out his piece of paper.
"You guys will never guess what I found." He passed the letter to Summer, who read it out loud.
Hey sexy!
Can't wait to get busy with you tonight at the dance! Save a dance for me okay? I had such a great time picking up my little sister at school! I hope we can do it again.
Love,
Evan
"Oh....my......God!" Billy, Eleni and Michelle all screamed at the same time.
We couldn't believe this; Ashley was going to break Zack's heart at the dance with Evan Wossmer.
"We can't let Ashley get the best of Zack." Marta said. "We have to take action."
Then, I was hit in the head with one of my other ideas.
"You guys, I have a plan." I said. "Meet me at 7:30 in the closet. Freddy, bring Zack."
Tonight at the dance.........
Ashley Tyler was going down.
