Chapter Four: Answer!
Zidane hung up the phone once again. It was the fourth time he had called Bre. She was usually at home, watching movies. But he guessed she had gone out somewhere. Where was she? He hadn't a single clue! Where would someone go on a Tuesday? Well, at least she didn't have caller ID. Her parents would thik that he was a maniac!
So, reluctantly, he picked up the phone. However, instead of calling Bre, he called her. Zidane called Dagger. It was ring after ring. Finally, after, like five rings, someone answered.
"Hello? This is the Alexandros residence. This is Mrs. Alexandros. May I help you?" Oh no! It was her mother.
"Uh, hi. This is umm. . ." Zidane paused for a moment. Then, there was another noise. It sounded like a bunch of teenage girls. Then, Zidane remembered. He remembered that he had talked to Adrian and he said that Bre and Dagger were going to hang out. Probably spend the night even. And if Zidane knew Bre as clear as glass. . . "Is Garnet there?" Zidane's voice got faster.
"Garnet?" There was a pause. Then, then noise of teenage girls cut of. Not faded. Just cut off. "I'm sorry, but she is with her friends at the mall. Can I-"
Right then and there, Zidane hung up the phone. He had to find them – fast. So, he grabbed his jacket. He knew that since he didn't have a car, he would have to take a bus. So, he rushed to the stop, never once did he stop his long run to take in breath. However, when he did make it, he heard a voice.
"Goin' somewhere?" It was a feminine voice.
As he turned around, he saw Ruby. She was smiling. "Ruby, what are you doing here?" Zidane asked her, sounding a bit too surprised. "I mean, do you know about. . . you know. . ."
"Actually, no. I have no clue what you mean I am here because Adrian is supposed to meet me at the mall. You?" Ruby asked concerned.
"Well, I'm here because. . ." If Ruby didn't know, he wouldn't tell her, he would just follow along. But, he would drag them to her. It was much more comforting knowing that Dagger would be with Adrian instead of Bre. She had a bad history of seriously messing with girl's minds. Especially the ones that he liked.
Wait. Liked? What was. . .
"Zidane?" Ruby asked watching him go into deep thought.
"Oh, what?" Zidane realized that it had become completely obvious that he was worried about something.
"Why are you here? You cut off at 'because'." Ruby stated truthfully. She was deeply concerned now.
"Oh, umm, I wanted to see a movie!" Zidane replied.
"Zidane, I'm not dumb. What's wrong?" Ruby couldn't help but wonder why he was like that. Zidane never would confess.
However. . .
Zidane sighed.
Maybe it would be different. . .
Then, with the rest of his breath, he began his story.
"You better get out of here trailer trash!!" The voice said, as there was a door slam.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
"God!" Adrian stomped out of his house. He and his dad were in another fight. Of course, if anyone lived with him, they would know that it was a daily happening since the death of his mother. Up until now, he really hadn't thought about it. He thought he could remain behind the mask. What if he was wrong? Well, he didn't care. Just as long as he didn't talk or think about it. Why would he though if he was going to be at the mall with Ruby? She was going to help him understand Dagger. It was kind of hard for him to understand it. If Dagger liked Zidane, than why was she flirting with him? And on the first day?
Adrian thanked God that the bus stop wasn't that far away. A few blocks down. So, he ran. He figured that it wouldn't be that hard to get there. Even if he had just come there, he went out exploring earlier and was very impressed by everything. That was when he saw the bus stop.
Once he got there, he saw that the bus was just starting to pull up and Ruby was not at the stop like she said. Adrian swore under his breath. Tonight was definitely not his night! Shoot, he wouldn't have been surprised if somebody robbed him!
For a few minutes, Adrian just looked around him into the dark surroundings. Then, he started walking. He didn't exactly know where. He would just walk. . . vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Bre, Dagger, and Lola were already done by the time it was dark. In fact, they had just been walking around.
"Hey, umm Dagger, do you want to go get a drink?" Bre asked.
"Sure, I guess I am kind of thirsty." Dagger replied. "Then I think we should go to my mom's house."
"Sure, we will, honey," Bre had an odd tone in her voice. "But, it just isn't good to walk without some sort of updated fluid in your body."
Dagger nodded. Then, she followed them as they headed to a drink place. Once they entered, Bre and Lola asked Dagger what she wanted then, they headed of to order the drinks, leaving Dagger to pick a table. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
"Now, remember, Bre, you want to put in enough to get her drunk. But not too much. Not enough for her to smell it really good." Lola explained as they waited for the drinks. "I'll go distract her."
Bre nodded.
"I'm gone," Lola said, walking off.
"Lola, hey, over here!" Dagger called, trying not to be loud. She snapped her fingers a few times.
"So, way in the back?" Asked Lola, smiling. She then sat down in the booth next to her.
"Yep, it's better to be unnoticed and sit in the back." Dagger explained.
"Okay, so how are you enjoying this?" asked Lola.
"It's cool. Fun." Dagger said.
"Seriously, Dagger, where are you from? You can't be from here. Just the way you talk just gives it away. Just your accent. The way you act too!" Lola explained.
"U-umm. . ." Dagger looked away, then she stared back at her blankly. Before she could answer, Bre was back with the drinks.
"So, did you girls have a good conversation while I was gone?" She asked.
"Very," Lola lied. Deep down, she hated the conversation. She wanted to know where she was from. Why wouldn't she answer?
"Great!" Bre said happily. "Now, I want everyone to drink up! It's. . . good for you to have fluids in your body." She smirked. It was a very unusual smirk that she had never made before. Or at least that's what Dagger thought.
Dagger put the drink to her mouth. Then, she tipped the cup, just to add the drinking affect. But truly, she was sniffing it. Everything had made no sense at all. Bre hadn't really been fond of her and now she was being so nice. Something just didn't click in her mind. Maybe she was just being crazy, but she didn't have a good feeling about everything. As she took the drink away, she came out with, "You know what? I need to go make a quick call hoe. I have to tell my mom where we are."
Lola and Bre nodded. Then, they frowned at each other after Dagger left. They knew she wasn't drinking anything. But they weren't going to say a word. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Once Dagger excused herself. She made her way to the women's washroom. She was so happy it was empty. Then, she took out her cell phone, locking the door. She called Zidane's house. He would pick her up. She knew he would. After several rings and no answers, she hung up, swearing under her breath. After that, she called Ruby. She too was someone she could trust. Still, there was no answer. Finally, she called Adrian. Out of all the guys in Adrian's group, she trusted him the most.
"Hello?" Dagger knew it was Adrian. But he sounded as if he was irritated.
"Adrian? Is it you?" She knew the answer. But she asked anyways. She knew she sounded scared.
"Dagger? Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yea. . . I need you to do me a favor." Dagger said.
"Sure, what is it?" Adrian asked concerned.
"I need you to meet me outside of Billmarks. But in the back, please?" She requested.
Adrian thought that request was a bit odd, but she was a friend of his. And he was always there for his friends. Even if it meant meeting someone in the back of a café. "Sure."
"Thanks." Dagger said turning off her cell phone. She looked around for a window as she placed the cell phone back in her pocket. "Yes!" She said as she spotted one, which was just right for squeezing through. It was right above the sinks so she would have a boost. It was time to blow the place. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
"God, Lola, what do you think she's doing in there?" Asked Bre.
"Bre, my young learner, she is doing what you yourself once did: escaping." Lola replied.
"So, umm, what can we do?" Asked Bre.
"Watch and learn." Lola said. She then got up from the booth and began hitting on the male drink server, who was about a few years older than she. "So, umm, my friend and I thought we heard another voice in the women's washroom. . ." She then fiddled with his fingers. "Could you please check it out for us?"
The man nodded then knocked hard on the door. "Excuse me, is there some one else in there?" His voice was almost yelling.
Dagger gasped. Her, so-called 'friends' must have done that to her. Soon, she began reaching and climbing harder.
"Excuse me, is there anyone else in there with you?" He asked. "That's it! If no one answers then I'll unlock this door." It was a single stall washroom, so there was only supposed to be one person in there.
With her last ounce of energy, Dagger lifted herself out. However, she almost got caught because the last minute, the man unlocked the door.
"Dagger?" She heard the voice in the dark. It was Adrian's.
"Adrian!" She ran to him and hugged him. "Thank you so much for coming!" She exclaimed.
"Yea, sure. What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing," She lied. "I. . . Bre. . . Lola. . ." She tried to say something more, but she couldn't.
"It's okay," he assured her.
"Dagger!" That voice she knew too well. It was Zidane's voice.
"Oh, honey! Are you okay?" Ruby was with him obviously.
She pulled away from Adrian and went to Zidane and Ruby. She hugged them both then asked, "What are you two doing here?"
"Dagger, I should've warned you. Bre gets very. . .uh, jealous, per say. You're pretty much the only one that has caught on. Ruby, she was never really a threat because she could figure out Ruby so well." Zidane explained.
Ruby was about to argue about that, but figured that there was enough drama happening.
"Zidane? You mean, you knew?" Dagger couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Yes, and I'm sorry I didn't warn you, but I didn't know. I thought you and Adrian were going to hang out. But then I saw him and he explained it. But I was. . . so stupid because it hit me at the last minute." He tried to apologize. But she just backed away.
"It doesn't matter. Zidane Tribal, if you truly cared then why didn't you remember? Why didn't you warn me the first day? You didn't even answer your phone when I called!" She shouted. Then, she ran off, leaving Zidane, Ruby, and Adrian behind in the dark night.
Zidane sighed. She was right about him. He should have warned her on the first day. But he didn't. Why not? Maybe she was right about him. . .
