Chapter 8
Revenge Never Tasted So Sweet

It took everything I had in me not to cackle when I arrived at school the next day. Apparently word had gotten out about my little plan. When I got to school, Lash came up to me, "Whatever you're planning. It's not going to work."

"Who said I was planning anything?" Seriously. Who would be dumb enough to tell him?

"I have my sources." And with that the stretching idiot was gone.

"Like eavesdropping." I muttered under my breath, I walked over to Will. "Lunch."

Will nodded. "Hey, you told Erika, Layla, Ethan, and Magenta?"

"I thought you did!" I exclaimed.

Will smiled, "I'm just kidding." He explained to me, "I just wanted to see your reaction. Of course I told them!"

I smacked him for that little number. "Let's get in." I said, turning towards the school, walking towards the entrance.

"Only 2 classes."

"Until the plan."

We entered our class; we walked to our History of Heroes class. The two of us sat in the back of the room. I took out my paper to make it look like I was taking notes on Miss Andre's speech. In a way, I was taking notes. Just not about the speech.

Here's what my paper read:

Get Ethan in the hall, alone.

Make Magenta join him.

Find a way to get Lash and Speed over there, their teasing instincts will lure them.

Layla shows up. Erika, a few minutes later. They use their powers to distract the circus monkeys.

Will flies in overhead, snatches the band off of Lash. I heard Father say it only effects me. Yeah that's fair.

I make my move. (Author's Note: Like I'd give away his part of the plan?)

That and Science flew by. I met up with Ethan and Magenta in the hall. "Stand here. And have a conversation." I hissed under my breath, but loud enough for the two to hear me. "When they come, say something like 'No! Leave me alone!' And then Layla and Erika will show up."

My friends nodded. I ran off towards a different hall, where Layla, Erika, and Will were. "Okay. Layla, Erika, when Maj and Ethan say something to try and make the circus monkeys stop, that's where you come in. Got it?"

The two girls nodded, and I looked at Will. "And you know your part."

"Better than you know."

I nodded, "Alright. And now, we wait."

About 10 minutes later, we heard Maj call, "No! Leave us alone!"

Cue the girls. And as if they could read my mind. I saw them walk up to Lash. Vines quickly wrapped around Lash's arms and legs, while Speed was trying to avoid fireballs. Yet it seemed as if there were more coming, I looked at Erika, and saw something I didn't expect. Warren. I shrugged, that would work.

Since the monkeys seemed a little tied up, Will took that as his cue. Anyone in the hall saw Will flying over the mobs, lunging at Lash, snatching the band and flying to me. I smirked. I placed the band on my arm, and saw something I had never seen on it before, a number pad. I placed in my dad's pin number (don't ask how I knew it…) and a list of names came up. I pushed the buttons to select Lash. And I walked over to them, I had no idea what I was doing. Warren, Layla, and Erika backed away. 2 against 1. Me being the one.

"This is going to call for reinforcements." Lash said, going to reach for his arm, apparently, he hadn't noticed Will.

I lifted my arm. "Looking for this?" I asked him. A smirk on my face.

"Give it to me you little worm!"

Only the two of us and Will knew the importance of this band. "Come and get it."

"But you… I… You…"

"Speechless are we you little monkey?"

Everyone in the hall laughed. It wasn't everyday that you'd see a sophomore take on 2 seniors. Let alone Lash and Speed.

Lash's jaw dropped, "I'm so going to…"

I cut him off, "Tell my dad? Go ahead. I've had my fun. And unless you want to suffer you will tell him what has really been going on."

Lash glared at me, "Oh? And how are you going to make me?"

I shook my head and sighed. "No one ever called you the sharpest tool in the shed did they?" Alright, time to explain. "I have the band."

"Not for long." He tried lunging at me.

I put my other arm out and it stopped him instantly. "If my father realizes that you don't have it, he's going to think you busted it."

"But Michael wouldn't."

"Michael, as you so disgustingly call him, cares about his band more than himself." I said, "And anything anyone tells him about the band, including me, is believed."

"What are you getting at?"

"You tell him what you've been doing. That you've been lying. And life goes back to normal."

"It will never be normal again."

"Oh yes, because you don't have me to torment anymore. How sad for you." I took this as my last verbal blow. "But alas, you'll still have my dear old dad for your pleasure." I walked out of that hallway. I went towards my next class.

I heard something I never thought I'd hear, "Zach! Zach! Zach! Zach!" It was a steady chant of my name.

I turned around, it was a mob of sidekicks. My friends. Erika was leading the chant. I smiled. She ran up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. "I love you Zach."

"Erika, I love you too."

((Happy Ending! Don't worry though loves. I'm going to add an epilogue.))
((Sorry for ending at Chapter 8. But there's no point in going on!))
