Friends Are Forever
Chapter 3 - I... Am... NOT.... SHOOORT!!!!
()()()()()()()()"So Key, what's been happening?" X-Ray asked that day at lunch when everyone was sitting around... on the ground. The cold, hard, wet ground.
"Well... My aunt got me a counselor, my cousins love me and I haven't heard from Gabby in a month."
"Counselor?"
"Yup. 'Now Katherine. I understand you've had a hard life. I feel your pain.' It's actually pretty entertaining, plus she said I could hit her if she aggravates me. What about you guys?"
The guys stared at Key as if she was from another planet.
"Whatever it is I swear it wasn't me."
"You are so not the Key from Camp Green Lake," Magnet said.
"I am! I swear! I did NOT tie and gag the real Key and she is NOT in my basement," Key joked.
"Seriously Key. You were so uptight and... Weird at camp," Squid said.
"Really? Wow... I think I have amnesia. I remember joking a lot..."
"You never joked. At least not when I heard you," Armpit said.
"Hm... Well I guess I was kinda stressed with all the... stuff that happenend," Key said slowly, looking at Snap, Jess, Ally, Dani and Leilani.
"Ah ha! I was wondering when that would come up. You owe me 10 bucks Pit!" X-Ray cheered.
"You bet on me! Not fair! Pshaw. You're not my friends anymore," Key humphed.
"Well Key, you have to admit, it's the kinda thing that seems like it shouldn't have happened," Squid said with a shrug.
"What was it? I wanna know! Teeeeeeeell meeeeee!" Snap whined, pulling on Zigzag's arm.
"Erm," Zig said.
Key lay back on the grass and looked up at the sky.
"Let's just say it was weird and leave it at that," she said, watching the clouds float past.
Everyone else lay back too. Zero moved closer to Key and put his arm around her waist. She leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Awwww..." Jess said looking at them.
"That has got to be the shortest couple in the history of the world!" Leilani smirked.
"Hey! I am NOT short!" Key cried sitting up.
"Really?" Dani asked, imitating Leilani's smirk.
"Yes!" Key cried and stood up.
Leilani and Dani followed and soon there was an all out chase, which later turned into a game of tag. Afterwards everyone sat on the grass in the circle which Key called the "Zen Circle."
"You guys should come over after," Key said, leaning against Zero.
"Hey Key. Do you dance, or sing, or act or anything like that?" Ally asked.
"Well... My aunt put me in ballet. I don't know when I'm starting though," Key answered.
The D-Tent guys snorted.
"Oh shut up," Key grumbled.
"It's funny!" X-Ray said.
"It won't be so funny when I stick my foot up your-"
"Ms Shinero!"
Key cringed and turned around. She quickly relaxed when she saw it was just a teacher.
"Erm... Yeah?"
"How are you enjoying the school so far?" the teacher asked with an extremely fake smile.
"Er... Well... It's good I guess..." Key said, looking confused.
The teacher smiled an even bigger fake smile and walked away.
"Guys. I hate to tell you this, but aliens are taking over the planet and brainwashing people..." Key said staring after the teacher.
"Aliens? Where?" Zigzag asked, eyes wide in fear.
"I was kidding Zig. I was kidding," Key said slowly.
Everyone laughed.
"I have a feeling this is gonna be like that big white building with trees and flowers and chirping birds, and basket-weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes," Key began.
"Where life is beautiful all the time and they're coming to take me away! Ha ha ho ho hee hee!" the girls all finished.
"Just smile and nod and maybe the scariness will go away," Caveman whispered quietly to Zero.
Zero smirked and everyone applauded as the girls stood and bowed. A girl with short brown hair and clear blue eyes ran up to them. She collapsed on the ground.
"Hey Erin, detention again?" Caveman asked.
"No! I had a dentist appointment," Erin whined. She noticed Key. "Who're you?"
"Machigai Katherine Azura Shinero," Key said with a smirk.
"Errr... Okay. And I should call you...?" Erin wondered.
"Key or Kat will do," Key smiled.
"Okay!"
Magnet looked at Key.
"Did you know your name means Mistake Pure Blue Sky Bamboo?" he asked.
"I know, weird isn't it?" Key laughed.
"Well Blue Sky Bamboo, it's almost time for class," X-Ray said standing up.
"Your name would be pretty if it wasn't for... erm... Machigai," Erin noted.
"Yeah. But I wouldn't want to be called Pure Blue Sky Bamboo, 'cause that's weird, and sissy."
"Yes and God forbid Katherine Shinero the Great have a sissy name," Magnet smirked.
"Damn straight."
Everyone laughed and walked towards the school for their afternoon full of classes of learningness, in other words Hell.
"Meet me up there after school!" Key called after them, pointing up to where they had been hanging around before.
