Chapter 34: Sweet Vengeance
"I'm practically shunned from life," Enrique moaned, sinking into his usual spot in the cafeteria.
Holly and Johnny exchanged looks.
"And that's supposed to mean what?" Holly asked, noting his miserable face.
"Carly's not talking to me," Enrique complained, "What if she never talks to me again???"
"Your loss," Johnny said, through a mouthful of food, "I told you to think twice, but no, you'd rather save face than save your friends. Of course Carly's mad, you let Courtney walk all over Aquana and now Aquana's having one of the worst times of her life. Courtney won't leave her alone. Carly's very particular about her friends."
"Why do you keep looking towards Courtney???" Holly
demanded to Johnny, "Do you like her or something?"
"Hell no," Johnny said, "I'm just waiting."
He didn't take his eyes off Courtney.
"For what??" Holly asked in confusion, frowning at her friend, "What???"
Courtney sat down daintily on a chair and opened her bag, taking her first her little make-up bag, then a mirror, then an eyeliner, then.........an ear-splitting scream filled the whole cafeteria.
Holly covered her ears, "Sounds like a fire alarm, ugh..."
"SPIDER, EEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!" Courtney screamed as a pretty good-sized reddish spider crawled on her legs, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! HEEEEEELLPPP!!!!" She leaped up and jumped up and down, screaming her head off.
Johnny had a big grin on his face, and he was laughing.
Carly came walking into the cafeteria holding a bottle of white glue as if right on cue and raised her eyebrow at the scene. Everyone in the whole cafeteria was staring at Courtney whose face was beet red and she was still shrieking as the spider wouldn't detach itself from her. Courtney was twisting around and doing a weird kind of steps to try to shake the spider off. Everyone started to laugh.
"What's wrong with you?" Carly asked innocently, "Let me help."
"I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP!!!!" Courtney screamed at Carly, "YOU DID THIS, I JUST KNOW IT!!!" She grabbed Carly's arm as if she was trying to twist it badly.
Carly smirked at her, but Courtney was too furious to care, she was joisting Carly's arm so hard that Carly let go of the glue bottle in the air. The cap was obviously set up to be loose and the whole bottle dumped on Courtney's head.
Carly yanked her glue splattered arm back and look at it, smirking, "A small price to pay, don't worry, it's washable. Not a very smart move, sweetheart."
Just then the supervisor pushed her way through and looked
at both of them, "Whatever happened to you here? What's going on?"
Courtney, who was covered from head to toe in gooey glue, raised a shaking,
glue-covered arm and pointed at Carly, "ASK HER!!!!! SHE'S THE ONE WHO SOAKED ME IN GLUE!!!!!!"
The supervisor frowned, "Carly, did you do such a thing??"
"Not on purpose," Carly said innocently, "I came walking into the cafe and she was screaming about something, so I went over and asked her if she needed help. Then she grabbed my arm for no reason and started shaking it for no reason and before I could stop her, the glue I had in my hand slipped out. The bottle sorta flew in the air and the cap fell off, I guess, and landed on her head. I am SO sorry."
"SHE'S LYING, SHE PLANNED THIS WHOLE THING!!!!! THE GLUE NEVER HAD A CAP ON IT, SHE WANTED TO DUMP IT ON ME ON PURPOSE SO SHE TRIED TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE AN ACCIDENT!!!!!" Courtney screamed.
The supervisor frowned, "Now Courtney, it's not nice to accuse people when you don't have proof." She looked on the ground and picked up the glue cap, "Here's the cap, guess you were wrong Courtney. What on Earth were you screaming about?"
"SHE PUT A SPIDER IN MY BACKPACK!!!!!" Courtney screamed.
Carly shuddered, "A spider? I hate spiders, you wouldn't pay me to go near spiders."
"THEN ONE OF HER CREEPY FRIENDS DID IT!!!!" Courtney yelled.
"Courtney, what did I say about accusing people?" the
supervisor warned, "The spider might have just crawled into your bag by
mistake, really, there's no need to scream about it. You have to get changed and washed. I'll give you permission to head on home for the afternoon. I want you to apologize to Carly for accusing
her."
"B-but," Courtney stammered, she didn't argue with the look on the supervisor's
face, "I'm sorry."
Carly smiled in a sort of satisfaction, "It's okay. I am so sorry too, about the glue."
"It was all just accident," the supervisor said reassuringly, "Courtney, you go to the washroom and wash off that glue off your arms, legs, and face. Then you can come to the office with me to get a pass home. Okay now, clear up, there's nothing to see, just an accident, go back to your lunches everyone."
Carly bent down to retrieved the empty glue bottle, sneering and whispering so only Courtney could hear, "Never ever try to sabotage my friends. At first I thought, the spider was enough to make you pay for the way you treated Aquana, but since you added that little comment about Johnny and me and the dance, you earned some glue. Glue is very becoming on you, it brings out your ratty hair." She got up and smirked at Courtney, who was fuming, "Nice dance you did with the spider there. Oh, and by the way, the spider's still on you, it's stuck on your leg." She started to walked out to wash her arm.
Courtney looked down at her leg in horror and saw that the glue had dried and the red spider was glued to her leg, still moving its legs feebly. Courtney opened her mouth and let out a piercing scream.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Carly, you are so mean," Hru said, laughing when she heard what Carly did.
"Yeah, I wouldn't want you for my enemy," Tala remarked.
"You sure don't!" Carly said happily, pleased that her scheme to get Courtney worked, "But I can't take all the credit. Johnny caught the spider and put it in Courtney's bag, I would never, for my life, touch a spider."
Even Aquana who was glum for the whole day cheered up, "At least I won't have to put up with her for the rest of today."
"I just can't believe you got away with it," Michael said, "Your acting was amazing, I would've kept laughing."
"It was your idea though," Johnny pointed out, "I don't have time to thinking of schemes to sabotage people. She's lucky she got away with it, she gets away with the weirdest things, she would've gotten suspended if she was caught!"
"Well, that's cuz she deserved it!!!" Carly exclaimed, "That remark she made about you asking me to the dance it totally out of this world, like I'd go to the dance with you! Ha! That idea's absurd."
Johnny suddenly fell very quiet and concentrated on his chemistry notes, avoiding Carly's eyes. Holly rolled her eyes and felt like strangling Johnny for being such a wimp.
"Carly, don't you think it's time that you forgive Enrique?" Aquana asked her, "You don't have to be mad at him because of me."
"What good is it if I get mad at him for like a day and forgives him? He hasn't learned his lesson yet, has he talked to you at all?" Carly demanded.
"Well...no..." Aquana said sadly, "He's been avoiding me too."
"What an idiot. How can I forgive someone like that???" Carly asked her, "When he's shown no sign of remorse???"
"When Carly holds grudges, they last long," Kai put in, "I remember the last time she was mad at me, she dumped chili powder on my cake."
Everyone laughed.
"Besides," Carly said, "I'll forgive Enrique when the idiot deserves it!"
"He looking very sorry for himself," Aquana remarked, gazing at Enrique as if she felt sorry for him.
"Well, is he feeling sorry for what you're going though??" Carly shot again.
Aquana clutched the fabric of her skirt, tears forming in her eyes again, "If this doesn't work out, at least I learned that relationships aren't as great as I first thought, I'll be more wary next time."
"Cheer up!" Carly said heartily, "Relationships are more
twisted than mazes."
"And how would you know, you're never been in one," Ray pointed out.
"So I guess, I doubt I'm far off." Carly said with a careless shrug as the lunch bell rang, "I personally strive to avoid relationships not embrace them."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Enrique, man, when are you gonna apologize to Carly?" Michael asked.
"I already tried, it didn't work, she practically spit in my face," Enrique replied, "I'm doomed, she never going to talk to me again and I'm to be condemned to a life of utter and bitter loneliness."
Michael sweatdropped, "Okay, dude, now you're scaring me. Did you try apologizing to your girlfriend, what's-her-name, oh yeah Aquana?"
"No," Enrique said, "I can't face her, she probably hates me. I think I'm just to going get a new girlfriend."
"Who? Courtney?" Johnny mocked, "I can bet my life that if you just take off and get a new girlfriend, you'll be in the hospital in critical condition 24 hours later cuz there's no way Carly's going to let that go!"
Enrique covered his head, "What do I do??? What do I do?? Worse of all I keep on having that horrible dream...I want to curl up in a dark corner and never come out."
Michael and Johnny exchanged glances, "He's definitely losing it."
"Carly's not really mad at you," Johnny said, "She's just very disappointed and ashamed of you and she shows it by screaming and insulting you. And I think Aquana's more hurt than mad."
"But what do I do???" Enrique shouted.
Johnny shrugged, "I don't know."
"You're on your own for this one," Michael said, " You made this whole mess so you clean it up."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
While Enrique was making his life miserable over his relationship problem, Hru and Tala were having problems too, very different problems.
"Are you even listening to me???" Hru demanded, wanting to blast the volume of her radio into the telephone receiver and burst Tala's eardrums.
"Mm-hmmm," Tala replied half-heartedly, "What were you saying again???"
//I'm going to kill that jerk,// Hru thought angrily. "We have Russian food, culture, history, tourism, and that's about it. What's missing?"
"Russian military," Tala said as once, "DARN IT, SHOOT!!!!"
Hru held the receiver far away from her, her ears still ringing at the sound of his sudden outburst, "Um...you still alive over there?"
"Huh? What? Oh, sorry, I just died on level 45!" Tala exclaimed.
Hru rolled her eyes and sighed, maybe she really oughta get that radio, "Are you listening to me or playing video games??? I mean, I like video games and all, but I'm talking to you here!!! I don't like being shunned out. This is important."
"So is my game," Tala told her, "I've been trying to reach level 60 for weeks."
Hru groaned, "You're not even listening to me!!!! We're talking about our Socials project, not
your video blaster right now."
"Chill out," Tala said in an off-hand voice, "It's not due for another 6 days."
"SO??? We should get started!" Hru snapped at him, "You are SO dense."
"We can finish it on the last day," Tala said distractedly, "Yes! Back at level 20, come on, come on!"
"I don't know why I even bother with you!!!" Hru yelled into the receiver, "You can go and marry your stupid video game!" She slammed the receiver back down into its holder and fumed.

Meanwhile, Cassandra was having quite a hard time too, but for her own reasons. She had been bursting with excitement ever since she defeated the Water Warlock, but she didn't have anyone to share the news with. With Tyson bubbling around, it took all of Cassandra's will power not to break down and tell him the whole brilliant fight to the end. Cassandra knew that Tyson would've been very impressed, but she couldn't go against what the Guardian told her.
"Cassandra, I was thinking that if I do a complete analysis of China's economical progress, we'd be able to understand it better," Kenny said, opening his laptop.
"Here he goes again," Dizzi said.
"No kidding," Cassandra muttered, "Dizzi, can you please shut him up?"
"See if you can trap Kenny in a laptop," Dizzi said, "Then all you have to do is click the power switch."
"Not funny Dizzi," Kenny said, typing up a storm.
"Hi ya Chief!" Tyson said, leaping in with Max and Kailee
behind him, "Hi Cassie! Do you have any
cookies?"
"Not right now," Cassandra replied, getting the itchy feeling to spill her
adventure.
"You've been really quiet today," Tyson remarked, "Is something wrong?"
//Even Tyson notices that I'm quiet, that must mean I'm way too obvious,// Cassandra thought.
"Cassie's just concentrating really hard on our project,"
Kenny told Tyson, "That's all."
"No, I'm not," Cassandra retorted, "I haven't even thought about the project
until you mentioned it two minutes ago!"
"Cassandra! We're got to make this perfect, it'll boost our marks way up!" Kenny cried, sounding hysterical.
"Ugh," Cassandra moaned, "Where's Willow, Tyson?"
"I dunno, Ray's been disappearing everything with her," Tyson said, "And
they're acting all lovey dovey all of a sudden. Not that I don't think it's cool that Ray found a girl. I've gotta get used to him vanishing. What do you supposed he does with her?"
"I don't want to know," Cassandra answered, remembering her first conversation,
and very last, with Willow about Ray, "Ugh.
I guess they just kiss and hug and stuff."
"What do you do with Emily when you're with her???" Tyson asked Kenny.
"First of all Tyson, Emily and I don't go on dates. And second of all, there's usually other people with us. And third of all, we just talk about our latest data interpretations and stuff," Kenny said.
"Yeah," Dizzi added sarcastically, "Kenny leads a rather exciting life."
Tyson snorted, "That doesn't sound like much fun Chief, going over some mumbo jumbo. Cassie, are we up for dinner tonight?"
"Well, what do you do with Cassandra?" Kenny asked, looking and sounding annoyed.
"Simple, we eat!" Tyson said, jamming some cookies in his mouth, "Then we go and play some basketball or soccer or something."
"While Kenny would enjoy counting the number of calories in a hamburger more than eating it," Dizzi added.
"Dizzi, cut it out with the wisecracks," Kenny warned.
"What about you Kailee? What do you do when you go out?" Tyson wanted to know.
"I don't go out with any guys," Kailee replied, "I don't think Kai would let me unless he and I both knew the guy. But when I go with Maxie, we just talk about stuff."
"Looks like Kenny's the boringest one of all," Dizzi chirped in, "How predictable."
"DIZZI!" Kenny yelled.
"What can you do? I'm in a laptop," Dizzi said dryly, "It can't get worse than this."
"That's it, I'm shutting you off," Kenny said, shaking his head.
Tyson nudged Cassandra, "Hey Cassie, you never answered me."
"Hmm? Oh yeah, of course." Cassandra said, thinking that it was better to say less in case she ended up spilling the beans.

Kai and Holly were having a particularly hard time with their project partners as well. Emily was driving Kai completely nuts, every time she saw Kai she was sure to remind him of his part of the project and how she wanted it perfect and such. Kai had been thinking about doing a bad job on purpose just to annoy the hell outta her like she was doing to him, but he decided that it wasn't worth it in the end, this project counted for too much of this semester. So Kai just gritted his teeth and did his share, thinking of other ways to annoy Emily.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Holly was having a hard time getting Robert to focus, whatever they talked about in the project always ended up in a big family history from Robert. Holly wasn't being rude, she didn't mind listening for a while, but one has to admit that it does become tiresome when it was consistent. Robert brought up his family clan in everywhere and Holly had a difficult time drawing him back on topic. As a result, they hardly got anything done in the process and Holly was beginning to regret letting Robert choose his home country for their project.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The only ones who were pretty much content with their lives were Ray and Willow. Even though Ray's partner was Mariah and Willow was worried about the time they spent together, Ray always found time for her. Willow and Oliver's project was well on their way and aside from the fact that Willow didn't understand what Oliver was saying half of the time, she was fine. Ray, who was always gracious and sweet, always made Willow happy, even though Carly made a remark about how their relationship was sickly sweet.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ending was kind weird. _ But oh well, I had to mention everyone else too, somehow anyways. Chapter 34 of this fic and it's at a turning point because I finally got a flame, actually two, my first two in the same chapter. I always consider it a turning point, reminds me that people don't always like your stories. It would be nice if they weren't pointless, meaningless flames. Oh well, flames don't discourage me, nor will I delete them, it's a good reminder, I'll try harder. ^^ Anyways, on a happier note, Merry Christmas to all! And plus I think I've got more reviews for this chapter than any other one, thx a ton guys! Read and review plz! Until next time! ^_~
