Chapter Four:
"Ms. Southwell, I believe you are up next!" Chris, the drama instructor stated. Raven sighed, closed her book and stepped up onto the small stage.
"Alright, Raven Southwell trying out for the part of Maria..." Chris checked off something on his clipboard. This summer's play was 'West Side Story' (A/N: I really didn't want them doing Romeo and Juliet, it's been over done.) , and there weren't that many people that were going to be in it, so everyone had to try out for the lead roles. Raven groaned inwardly as someone handed her a script.
"How many bullets are left, Chino? Enough for you, and you? All of you. You all killed him! And my brother, and Riff. Not with bullets and guns - with hate. Well, I can kill too because now I have hate! How many can I kill, Chino? How many and still have one bullet left for me?" she read, not noticing that every person in the theater was now staring at her. As she sat down, she looked to her left to see Robin and Terrance staring at her with expressions that could only be described as utter amazement.
"What?" she said, "I was that bad?"
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"Lorretta, get out of my face!" Terrance said, turning the face the angry girl that was following him.
"Not until you promise to help me get Rov and that Rob guy together." Lorretta said, crossing her arms.
"I don't think so, sis. Rob is my friend, and I wouldn't wish that witch of a friend of yours on him any day."
"You know, we could make you're life a living Hell if we wanted to."
"Lar, you're my sister. You've already done that." Terrance smirked at his little sister seeing her face twist in anger.
"Fine! But watch your back from now on!" Larretta stormed off.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"Are you sure we know what we're doing?" a boy with black hair and deeply tanned skin asked the smug looking boy behind him. The two were in a canoe, paddling pointlessly around the lake.
"YES, Cole, I'm sure I know what we're doing. We're causing trouble!" the other boy said.
"Red, I'm not so sure abou- hey who is that!" Cole had just about fallen out of his half of the boat staring at a girl on the end of the dock.
"Not sure. I think her name's Rov or something like that. Why?"
"She's hot!" Cole said, still staring. Red shrugged.
"She's not that bad. Maybe she'll go to the dance with you." Red smirked, turning the canoe towards the dock.
"Hey! What're you-" Cole's protest was cut off mid sentence as they reached the dock.
"Well, hey there." Rov said, batting her eyelashes and putting on a fake southern accent.
"Um..eh heh..." was all Cole could say and Red helped him out of the canoe. He never took his eyes off her.
"Ah haha. I don't suppose you two gentlemen could help me with a little problem I have?" Rov batted her eyelashes again, doing her best to look pouty and adorable, which is hard to do when you're actually evil and maniacal. Apparently it worked, though.
"Anything for you..." Cole said. You could practically see the hearts in his eyes.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"Hey! You!" Cole said, walking cooly across the field towards the red-headed girl who had turned to face him. "Star, right? Heard you just moved here from Germany."
"Well, yes, that is right." Starfire answered, not sure what to think of this boy she didn't know.
"Cool. I'm Cole, Sycamore Cabin. If you need any help," he said with a wink, "Just ask."
"Oh, um, well thank you..."
"Catcha later." he said, before giving her a flirting look and continuing on his way.
'How odd...' thought Starfire. Could he have been, what was the term, 'flirting' with her? Why?
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"See? I told you." Rova was standing near Robin, both of them hidden from view by the trees, watching Star and Cole talk. "She likes him." Rova said with a sigh.
"What? Star would have told me if-"
Rova sighed. "You've already said that. She would have told you if she liked him, blah, blah, blah. Boring, deary. She obviously likes him. If she didn't...would she be considering going to the dance with him?"
"What!"
"Now, really, I'm not much one for gossip, but I could have sworn I heard her talking about the dance, and how she wanted a date, and how she thought Cole was oh, so, hot..." Rova trailed off, smirking at the look of surprise that had covered Robin's usually calm face. "Oh, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have told you. You wanted to go to the dance with her didn't you?" she said with mock sympathy and concern. Robin blushed, looking down. Rova smiled a pity smile, but if you looked closely, you could see a smirk underneath the act. "But you know...I'm still free for the dance..." she said, shrugging and smiling.
"Um, well, we'll see...I better be going." Robin nodded at Rova and walked slowly away, his hands jammed into his pockets. Rova waved until he was out of sight, then pulled a cell phone out of her pocket and dialed a number.
"Hey, Laretta? Phase one, complete. Proceed with phase two." She hung up, an evil smirk on her face.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Vin sat boredly on a fence, her head resting on her hand. Rova and Larretta were up to something, she could tell by the way they whispered and giggled constantly. And she wanted nothing to do with it. Not a thing. It was hard enough listening to Rova's every command without having to be in on every conspiracy plan or half baked scheme she happened to come up with. She sighed wholeheartedly, staring off into the field.
"Hey." there was a voice from behind, and she jumped a little and turned to see Terrance jump up onto the fence next to her. She sighed again.
"What do you want?" She had known Terrance since her first year at Summer camp, when she had first met Larretta, his sister, and they had never seen eye to eye on things.
"Just to ask you, again, why you hang out with that witch and that loser sister of mine."
"You ask me this every year, and every year I say the same thing. They're my friends."
"But Vin, you're different! I can tell. You're not stuck up like they are, you just pretend to be."
"And how do you know so much?"
"I just do. And you're telling me that you've never had the urge to just walk away from those two idiotic 'friends' of yours?" Terrance said. Vin let out a laugh at this.
"All the time. All. The. Time."
"Then why do you still hang around with them?"
"Look. You don't know what it's like! Rova and Larretta are the only who people that don't hate me!"
"I don't hate you."
"Oh, you don't hate anyone. If I stop hanging out with them, everyone else will still see me as the stuck up, prude princess I've been pretending to be for the last seven years at this camp!"
"So, you admit you're not like the other two, then?"
Vin groaned and hopped off the fence. "Hey. I'll admit that, but it doesn't mean I'm going to stop hanging around with them. Not unless I know there's at least some people that don't hate me here." With that, she walked away. Terrance smiled as he watched her go, another plan forming inside his head.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Terribly sorry, I know this is shorter than the other chapters, but I really don't know what to add to it, and I think that's a good place to end this chappie.
Reviews, please!
