I'm too lazy to count up the votes, but I'm pretty sure those are the placings

Eden: Lol. Big confrontation? It'll be a confrontation, but I dunno about it being big.

Rayrules: Well, Max is a bit taller than Mariam in this fic. He has to grow sometime. I didn't see the sneak preview because I was stupid enough to forget about it!

Sankikya: Lol, you like them because they have your two favourite guys?

LauncherStriker: Wow, thanks for those reviews...they certain encouraged me...It's not my fault that it's too mushy for you, I mean it's Love and Jealousy! Read the title! What do you expect? I really can't help you here.

Hehe, so you guys think that voice might be Xeora or Dranzer?? Well, guess what? It's neither! You'll find out eventually...it's one of my little schemes, so just put up with it.

I'm just going to skip to the last week of school before summer because I don't feel like writing the rest of their school year.

Chapter Twenty-Seven – First Failure

"School's out in a week!" Tyson said happily, sucking on a lollypop. Max, who was sitting between him and Mariam, was doing the same.

"I know! I'm so excited!" Hilary exclaimed. They were all sitting in a circle in one of the empty rooms in Tyson's dojo.

"You?" Zarine teased. "I thought you loved school. Weren't you talking about that hot substitute earlier today?"

The others looked surprised. "What substitute?" they asked in unison.

"You know the one who's French," the petite girl answered with a sly glance towards Hilary. "He's pretty good looking, I must say." When Ray raised his eyebrow at her, she added quickly, "But no one's ever better than Ray."

"What's so good about him apart from his little French accent?" Tyson demanded, looking jealous. "His attempts at jokes are pathetic too."

"Shut up!" the brunette said angrily. "At least he doesn't have an eating disorder. Why would you care? I thought girls were just a nuisance to you. Anyway, it's really none of your business!"

"It is when..." he trailed off. He was just about to say, 'It is when the guy is not me.' He regained his composure and continued, "...when it is him!" With that said, he stormed out of the room, looking very sulky indeed.

Hilary watched him leave in surprise, "What's his problem?"

"He's just jealous," Kenny replied.

"Why would he be jealous?" she asked, her expression more confused than ever.

"Because he likes you," Carrie answered with exasperation.

Jewels remarked, "Seriously, just get together before it turns into something like a romance tragedy."

"I agree. You guys have been in denial for a year. Just get over the first stage and it'll be fine," Mariam told her brown haired friend.

Hilary's face turned pink. Avoiding her friends' eyes, she denied quietly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

They all sniggered at this comment, except Kai, but even he had a smirk on his face. "Can we please change the subject?" she begged.

"Sure, I need a plan to end the year with a spectacular prank..." Carrie said to the others. "I'm all out of ideas, any help, guys?"

"Set the fire alarm off," our cute blonde haired dude suggested. (Sorry, I just had to do that.)

"Hmm...let's kidnap all the teachers," Mariam said.

"Ambush the principle with water bombs," was Zarine's idea.

"No, I have a great one. We can set the bell so it rings every minute. Since no one pays attention to the teacher after the bell, the day would end pretty quickly, wouldn't you say?" Jewels said wickedly.

"Nah...I think we should kidnap all the teachers. We can drag them outside afterwards, and throw water bombs at them" Carrie said, her mind was already on the details and precautions of the plan.

"How are we ever going to manage that?" Ray questioned.

"With my brilliant mind, nothing is impossible," the red head answered airily. "I'll take care of it and figure it out by my due date, boss."

Last day of school...

Tyson asked Carrie anxiously in a whisper before school started, "You have everything ready right?"

"Had I ever let you down before?" she replied, slamming her locker shut.

"Hey," Zarine said brightly. Turning to Carrie, she asked, "You ready to make yourself the hero of all the students in this school?"

"You betcha," her friend answered. She slipped a brown package into Zarine's hands. "Here's the wig for your super noticeable hair," She lowered her voice so only Tyson and Zarine could hear, "Tell people that the water bombing event is at lunch."

Tyson and Zarine nodded before walking off in different directions to spread the word. By the time the first class was over, nearly everyone had heard about it.

Shea wanted to talk to Ray, but he had already rushed off in the direction of the office. He had to push his way through the thong of people that were filtering through the hallways. He heard occasional greetings from people but he paid them no heed and concentrated on the task ahead of him.

"Hello," he said to the dark haired girl sitting in the secretary's place for the break. "Em...Mr. Nowak need to have a very important meeting in the staffroom with every staff present. Can you notify them through the announcement system?"

"Sure," she said in a bored voice. She picked up the phone and punched a number. Her voice could be heard through every speaker, "Mr. Nowak had called an important meeting. Will every staff please attend it?"

"Mr. Nowak!!" Hilary gasped, running up to the ancient looking teacher. "There has been an accident in the unused part of the school!"

The old man hobbled after her. The chatter of the students faded rapidly as they move farther away from the busy hallways. "It's just right around this corner sir!" the brunette told him. Suddenly she let out a shill shriek before pretending to crumple onto the ground.

The teacher jumped about ten feet into the air. His head turned around anxiously to see the Hilary's 'attacker.' "Is someone there?" he asked, his voice quivering. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as someone hit him with a baseball bat.

"Hil, you can get up now," Tyson chuckled, looking at Hilary's still form.

She opened her eyes, sat up and exclaimed, "God! I thought I was going to have a heart attack there!"

"Kenny nearly peed in his pants while we were waiting for you," Mariam told her.

"Let's lock him up in the janitor's closet," Max suggested. "We have to bound and gag him in case he wakes up before he's supposed to."

Max, Mariam, Tyson, and Kenny dragged him to a closet as Hilary kept a look out for other students.

As soon as the girl announced the 'meeting in the staffroom' through the speakers, Kai said, "Okay, that's our cue."

He climbed a ladder and removed the grate. Because the girls were too short, he had to lift them up to the vent.

"Thanks, Kai!" Carrie said, poking her head out.

"Yeah, we'll see you if we don't get caught!" said Zarine. "We love you!"

The girls made their way carefully through the vent. The noise of the moving students kept them unnoticed. "Turn right," Carrie whispered.

They arrived at the vent of the staffroom where all the teachers were waiting impatiently for Mr. Nowak

"I say this has to be some kind of joke!" they saw a female teacher protested shrilly. "We have no time for dilly-dallying today!"

Right at that moment, the fan turned on and the two girls shivered.

"Here we go," Carrie mouthed. She put the nozzle of the fire hydrant through the gap of the grate and sleeping gas leaked out of it.

They had to stifle their laughter as the teachers dropped off to sleep. "Let's go and tell the others that we're successful," Zarine giggled.

The short girls crawled back to where Kai was waiting for them. When Kai saw there smiles, he knew instantly that they were successful.

"Let's go to where we're supposed to meet the others," he said quietly.

They met up with the others and put on black suits in the bathroom.

"I bet the students are all cheering since all the teachers are at this 'meeting'," Jewels laughed.

They sneaked to the staffroom. Jewels opened the door to check if any of the teachers were still awake. When she didn't return, the others went to see what was going on. They saw her lying on the floor, on top of the French substitute.

Carrie realized her mistake. "Crap! I forgot to get the fire hydrant out of there. Everyone hold your breath!"

"I'm feeling a little drowsy already," Zarine told them. "I'm getting out of here."

They all did the same, except Kai. He wasn't going to leave Jewels there. He took a deep breath before plunging in the midst of the sleeping gas, with one hand on his nose. Using only his right hand, he slung the tall red head over his shoulders.

"I guess that plan is my first failure," Carrie sighed in the washroom where the girls were getting changed back into their normal clothes.

Zarine splashed some water on her face to make the sleepiness go away. "Oh well, at least they're all asleep. We don't have to listen to their boring lectures about behaving in the summer."

At last when it was lunch time, the teachers began to stir. "What happened?" one of them asked groggily.

"I don't know," another answered. "I just know I have a huge headache."

The principal suggested, "Since we're all a mess, why don't we dismiss the students early? Miss Brown, please go and give the students their report cards."

The students cheered when they heard that school was over three hours earlier than planned. "I think we're their heroes," Tyson exclaimed. "Yo, pe – OW!"

"You aren't supposed to give us away! I better go and tell someone about Mr. Nowak being gone, or else I'm going to look very suspicious," Hilary said. "I'll see you later!"

Zarine was putting all of her school things into her backpack when someone wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the neck. She stiffened, thinking that it might had been Leo again. She relaxed when she heard Ray's voice, "Ready to go?"

She turned around and smiled at him. "Yeah, just as soon as you let go of me so I can bend down and put my binder into my backpack."

He released his hold on her. "It's so heavy," she said, groaning with the effort to slang her bag onto her shoulders.

"I'll carry it," he offered.

"But you already got yours to carry. I can do it," she insisted stubbornly.

"If you say so," he said. Looking at her hair, he admired how it was shinning. Recently, he had the desire to brush it for her, but he hadn't plucked up his courage to do it yet.

'I think I'm obsessed over her,' he said to Driger. 'I can't stop thinking about her, ever.'

Driger said, 'It's okay to think about her, you love her so much. But I do wish that you would stop staring at her like a girl is an alien thing to you.'

'I do not stare at her like that!' the Chinese boy denied, his face flaming. He still couldn't get over how he got such a beautiful girl for a girlfriend after dating her for six weeks. Sometimes, he would find himself just watching her, thinking about how gorgeous she was.

'Oh, I thought that was what you were doing just now,' his bit-beast said.

"Hey, Carrie!" Zarine said. "So you got your report card?"

Carrie nodded and said, "Yep, I did pretty well I suppose. No where near Jewels' high marks though. I bet she got straight A's, like always."

"Well, I can't wait to get mine. I bet I failed Math," Zarine said gloomily. "I'm so bad at it."

Carrie assured her friend, "Don't worry, if Tyson didn't fail it, I bet you didn't either. Can you believe he actually got a B on it?" She turned to Ray and questioned, "Why aren't you contributing something to this conversation?"

"Huh?" Ray asked in confusion. "Sorry, I was talking to Driger just now."

"Never mind," she sighed. "I'll see you at the party later!" She walked away, thinking of the packing that she still had to do for her vacation.

Zarine and Ray thanked the secretary as she handed them their report cards. Ray looked down at his, and saw that he got three A's and five B's. He glanced down at the petite girl beside him as she sighed.

"I got one A, six B's and a C minus," she told him, scowling at the paper in her hand.

"What did you do so badly on?" he asked before he could stop himself. "I meant..."

"My worst subject, that's what," she answered. "I was expecting a fail anyways, so I guess this is not so bad, but I do wish I got a better mark."

He hugged her and tried to comfort her. "You tried very hard on it, and that's what matters, to me anyways."

Shea and Leo were standing by a row of lockers talking to each other. Other people who were walking by threw them curious glances, but they were all too eager to get out of school to talk to them.

"I don't see why we have to wait so long for the perfect opportunity!" Shea complained. "I want her away from Ray now! Don't you want that little bitch? I thought that's why you wanted to help me."

"I have my own reasons," Leo replied smoothly. "If we don't do this right, they're going to figure it out. They'll hate us and never trust us again, I'm sure."

"Fine," she pouted. "What's the plan?"

As Leo whispered the plan in her ear, her eyes grew gleeful. "You are sure Zarine will hate that, right?" she asked.

Leo nodded. "I'm sure. She told me that herself. We'll put the plan in place when an opportunity presents itself."
