CHAPTER ELEVEN: "Pirate feet!"
Well, you'd think fifteen hours later that the seven of us would be awake in my living room doing something really dumb like the limbo while a movie was playing. Well, you'd better think again because you're wrong. Yep, one in the morning, and you wanna know where we are?
We're locked in the school. Captain Jack Stupid got his foot stuck in a toilet before we left the school. Jack's foot hadn't budged, and to make this whole situation even better, the entire school was dark.
"Whoa! Me foot don't go that way, lad!" Jack said. Robbie and Will had been trying to free Jack for an hour now, but let's face it; they weren't really helping. The rest of us sat against the wall of the boys' restroom occasionally making some suggestions to Jack's freedom.
"Maybe if you take your foot out of your boot, Jack," Will pointed out.
"Yeah, that should work..." Robbie said.
"No, me boot stays on me foot," Jack said firmly.
"Then your boot stays in the toilet and so does your foot," Robbie said in frustration. "C'mon guys. Let's go out in the hall." I felt him and Will pass, and I stood up. I wasn't so sure we should leave Jack alone in a restroom (in fact, I wasn't sure we should leave Jack alone period), but I stumbled out into the dark hallway and sat against the wall with everyone else as Jack yelled for us to come back into the restroom.
"Come back, heathens!" Jack yelled after us. "This is mutiny! I'll –"
Silence. Well, silence after we heard Jack lose his balance and fall. We went back into the restroom and helped him up, and Robbie gave one more tug at Jack's leg. Then he stood up and sighed as I turned on my flashlight (I found it in my old book bag I had with me!).
"I wish I could just flush you!" Robbie said with a frustrated sigh.
"Flog me?" Jack asked. "Ye' won't be floggin' me. Besides, where's yer whip?" I looked over at Robbie. He had an exasperated looked on his face, but then answered Jack.
"Not flog, flush," Robbie said. "If your foot doesn't leave the boot in five seconds, I'll flush you with all of your –"
"That's very unhygienic of you," Jack said as he flashed his golden smile.
"You mean he's standing in...eww!" Jessica said. Jack gave his foot a few tugs. His foot came out, and we all about died instantly from the smell.
"God! Your feet are unhygienic! Put that thing away!" Jessica screeched (I know exactly what you're thinking – 'that doesn't sound right' – and I agree...). We about killed ourselves trying to evacuate the restroom. We ran up the hall until we came to a locked gate.
"Pirate feet! Help!" Lindsay said in false fear as she gripped Will's arm and hid behind him (*cough*..flirt..*cough*). We stood there a few minutes keeping ours eyes on the restroom entrance. Robbie was still in there with Jack, and I stood there thinking of what they could be up to. I mean, let's face it people, Robbie and Jack together would mean chaos...
They walked out of the restroom a minute later, Jack's boot back on its foot (good, cuz I was gonna pass out...). They were smiling with their hands behind their backs (what are they up to?). I was waiting for them to throw something disgusting on us like a soaking wet toilet paper bomb or something, but all that came out from behind their backs was a hand.
"Everything cool between us?" Robbie asked. I looked around at everyone who nodded. I turned to Robbie and shook his hand.
"Yeah, sure," I said.
"Great!" Jack replied happily. "Now that that's cleared up, we'll be takin' Elizabeth, the rum, and the room with the biggest mattress –"
"What?!" Jessica shrieked (Yeah, that was what I was about to say!). Jack smiled curtly as he took Elizabeth by the arm. They tried to walk away, but Will grabbed Elizabeth's other arm. He gave Jack a cold look.
"Back off, welp," Jack said with a golden smile. In that instant, Will had punched Jack, and Jack lay on the ground unconscious. Robbie knelt beside him, and we took the opportunity to run down the hall.
We ran around the corner to the library doorway. We caught our breath as Robbie was helping Jack regain consciousness. We comforted Elizabeth who was shaken up by what had just happened, but she was fine. Soon after, I heard a jingle in Will's hands...
"What are those?" I asked Will.
"A ring of keys," he replied. "Lyin' on the floor there..."
"Janitor's keys!" I said, taking the keys from Will. We gathered close around the flashlight and keys excitedly.
"The library key should be on there," Jessica said as I began to flip through the ring of keys.
"Yeah, then we can escape Dumb and Dumber," Lindsay said. I gave a small laugh and continued searching for the library key. Room numbers flashed by... 111, 216, 204...c'mon, c'mon...girls' locker room, cafeteria, 117, 212... let's go... office, 207, a few gate keys...where is it?!
"Ha! Found it!" I said in a triumphant whisper. We hurriedly opened the library door and went inside. I turned the flashlight on and handed it to Jessica. I sat my old book bag on the table next to me as everyone looked around. A few minutes later, footsteps were approaching the library. It could be no other than Jack and Robbie...
"They're coming back!" Elizabeth whispered to me.
"Hide!" I said. We scattered; we all ran back into the isles of bookcases to hide ("Ow!" Will said after running head on into a bookcase.). I was crawling along the fiction isle on the farthest side of the library when the door banged open.
"C'mon, we was only kiddin' ye'," Jack said upon entering. After a few more pleads for us to come out of hiding, Jack and Robbie fell silent. I figured they were trying to sneak up on us, so I went to find Lindsay. I crawled into the nonfiction section, then I heard a scream.
I peered into the next isle and saw two shadows wrestling each other. At the other end of the isle, Jessica clicked on the flashlight and pointed it at me.
"What's going on?" she asked. In the light, I saw Lindsay and Jack in a tangled mess on the floor. To bad Jessica didn't... she walked right into them, and before long, Robbie and Elizabeth had joined the pile as well. After Will and I stopped laughing at them, we helped them up.
-- I hour later --
We were raiding the kitchen,. Yes, the idiots were raiding a school kitchen in the middle of summer vacation. We are so smart, huh? Anyhoo, Robbie was telling me while we searched some cupboards about how he and Jack had devised that whole thing as a joke in less than five minutes and how he did like Elizabeth. I sighed as he continued on about him and Jack... Jack and Robbie as friends... this would be interesting...
"It really was just a joke," Robbie said, reassuring me for the thousandth time. I kinda changed the subject... it was getting old after a while.
"Yeah, yeah...well, it looks like we're going hungry til we get out of here," I said, opening another cupboard. Robbie sighed, and he went over to raid the other side of the kitchen. I went over to Lindsay, Jack, Will, and Elizabeth who were standing in front of the freezer door.
"Think there's anything in there?" Lindsay asked me.
"Only one way to find out," I said with a shrug. "Let's check it out." We opened the freezer door and stepped inside the subzero room. We all shivered on the spot as Will flipped the light switch on. A few boxes lay around, and there was a small stack of meat in the corner.
"Bit chilly, don't ye' think?" Jack asked. "I dunno about ye', but I am out o' here." Jack turned to leave, and then Lindsay tripped over a box and went flying into Jack. Jack stumbled into the door.
