Eye of the Storm
Chapter Fourteen: The Prank War Begins
"WHO WAS THAT GUY?"
"That's what I'd like to know,"
I KNEW this was coming! I mean I can't do ANYTHING around here without SOMEONE questioning me about it. Wait a sec, how come I always get away with the usual mad stuff but am always questioned when something completely normal happens?
Erm, does getting into a martial arts fight with a friend I haven't seen in two years include acting normal?
"Owww!" I winced, as Max continued to bandage my twisted ankle.
"Sorry,"
"Really, who was that guy?" Johnny demanded.
"He's…an old friend," I said slowly.
"An old friend that you only knew for a year before we left," Max smirked.
"Oh shut up!" I scowled, whacking him on the head.
"So…" Mirror prompted.
"So…what?"
"You dummy, what's up with that guy! And that whole martial arts thingy!"
"It's…complicated,"
"The whole James thing is, but the martial arts isn't," Holly remarked.
"I practiced martial arts since I was six years old. I met Jamie through the martial arts dojo. He remains the only person who can beat me in a fight," I shrugged.
"That…doesn't explain why he said he wanted you back," Kara pointed out.
Did she HAVE to mention that!
"That's something I rather forget…" I sighed.
"I don't like him." Johnny stated.
"You're not meant to like him, you're my boyfriend remember? Its your job to not like any guy who asks me on a date," I grinned.
"Haha, very funny,"
"What? Its true!"
"Hey, Johnny, you're distracting her!" Tala yelled.
Shit, these guys never give up do they?
Damnit.
"Did you ever go out with James or something?" Mariam asked.
"Kinda,"
"Kinda?"
"Kinda," I confirmed.
'Where are we going, huh Sandy?'
'I'm taking you to the cinema. You realise that martial arts is not the only thing that exists? We're in America ya know, not Ancient Japan. And only Sky calls me Sandy!'
'Well, now two people call you Sandy, and I'm quite aware of where and when we are. And the cinema? Why? Are we going on a date?'
'Stop smirking Jamie. And yes, it is a date, okay?'
'Date huh? We making this weird fling of ours more official then?'
'Urgh, NO! This weird fling of ours is staying secret THANK YOU!'
'Whatever you say Sandy,'
"Yo, Willow! Earth to Cass? ANYONE THERE?"
I blinked, shaking my head to clear the memory. Mirror was waving a hand in front of my face, and I swatted it away with a frown.
"Breakthrough!" Mi exclaimed.
"Oh shut up," I sighed, wincing as Max poked my recently dislocated shoulder.
"I guess you fixed that up yourself," Max determined.
"Ya think?" I muttered.
"Cass, you gonna explain the Hearn thing?" my brother demanded.
"No," I snorted, "I spent two years trying to forget about him without much success and I'm not about to dig up memories just for this lot,"
"Heh, figures," Max smirked, putting away the bandages. "Don't question her," he added when everyone opened their mouths to protest and demand. "She has a good reason y'know. Just let her sulk and heal."
"WHO'S SULKING?"
"See?"
"HMPH!"
Bloody brothers.
Monday morning. Five days left until my birthday. Five days left to Destruction Showdown, as Mi oh so kindly put it. Six days until the birthday party and…only seven hours left until I see Jamie again.
Fuck.
"Are you sure you can go into school with those injuries?"
I looked at my sister, who was dragging a comb through her hair and trying to pull on her socks at the same time. It was no surprise when she lost her balance and fell flat on her face.
Giggling, I responded with a "Of course!"
"You sure?"
"Yeah, no worries Lollie. It doesn't even hurt anymore," I grinned, throwing my black and blue tie around my neck and leaving it untied, as usual.
"Whatever you say Cass,"
Smirking, I left the room, Holly falling flat on her face yet again, and banged on Max's door.
"WHAT?"
"You got ten minutes to get ready dude! GET UP!"
Once that was done, I ran downstairs, hoping to get a bit of breakfast before Tala turned up to give us a lift to school. He had insisted on it because I shouldn't skate on a twisted ankle, but I reckon he just wanted a reason to spend some time with Holly. Lovesick fools!"WILLOW!"
"YES MOM?"
"YOUR PHONE'S RINGING!"
"Mom!" I heard Holly yelled as I attempted to find my phone.
"What?"
"Is my tie in the washing?"
"Yes!"
"Max! Hurry up!"
"Cass your phone's here!"
"Thanks!"
Bloody madhouse.
"Hello, Willow here," I said once I had found my phone.
"Dude, guess who!"
That voice…I swear I know that voice!
"SKY!"
"Right in one! Shit Cass, where have you been!"
"Where have I been!" I yelled, "Dudette, you were the one who lost your phone! And moved to England! What was I supposed to do?"
"Alright, keep ya hats on! Anyway, I was just sorting through all my junk-"
"You must've been there for a week then-"
"Oh shut up! Anyway, I just found your number scribbled on a piece of paper under the bed. I mean, no wonder I didn't find it for ages!"
"Sky, its been almost a WHOLE year since I last talked to you!"
"I KNOW! I feel so shit about it! But guess what!"
"What?"
"I'm gonna visit my Grandma Jessa who lives out in Japan. Dude, you live in Taniana, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Cass, expect me in two days!"
I froze at this piece of info. Then I screamed so loudly that Holly fell over the last step of the stairs and Max dropped his shoe on his foot.
"SKY I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE THE BEST!"
"Don't I know it!"
I had to laugh. "Shut it you big headed cow!"
"Thank you! Anyways, I gotta go! Say hi to Lollie and Maxie for me!"
"Yeah sure, bye Sky!"
"Laters Cassie!"
Click. She had hung up.
Grinning, I turned to my brother and sister, who were both staring at me like I was mad.
"Sky says hi,"
"SKY WILLIAMS!"
"Yup. Hey Tala's here, c'mon!"
This day was really brightening up.
"So what's with this Sky chick?" Nick raised an eyebrow, readjusting the heavy bucket in his hand. I was bouncing up and down happily, half because of my best friend since I was two years old coming to visit and half because Nick, Fred, Dessy, Mi, Kara and I were all hiding in the girls' bathroom (poor Nick and Fred!) about to prank Amber Trendson and Melody Summers and whoever else was in their clique.
"She's my bestest best friend since I was two!" I said with a grin.
"Okaaaay,"
"Although no one can replace you girls." I added to the three other girls. They grinned back at me.
Mariah edged inside. "They're coming," she whispered, and immediately Mi picked up the water hose, Dest got ready to switch on the tap, Kara hoisted up the bucket beside her. Fred and Nick got ready to do their bits, leaning against the wall on either side of the door.
Noise seeped through the door as I waited calmly for it to open. When it did the faces of Amber Trendson and Melody Summers appeared in front of me.
"YOU!" Fashion Disaster shrieked, leaping at me. Okay, I don't exactly blame her. I mean, this has been the first time I've seen her since I split her and Kai up and for a while afterwards Amber had stayed at home with her tail between her legs like the coward she is.
"Yeah, me," I smirked as I sidestepped her hopeless punch.
"You little bitch-"
"Shut up," I said promptly, shocking her into silence. "Now do us a favour yeah?" she didn't reply as a malicious grin formed on my lips.
"Don't scream,"
At that moment Dest twisted the tap, and Mi winked at the two cheerleaders before letting a barrel of water slam into the two girls. They shrieked in horror but the next second Nick and Fred tied pieces of cloth over their mouth so no one could hear them. Luckily it was a free period for all of us but that doesn't go to say that someone might hear us or something.
"Alright!" Nick grinned. "Now close your eyes girls,"
"You fucking asshole-" Melody spluttered as Amber just blinked.
"I warned ya,"
The next thing anyone knew Amber was skidding around on the wet floor, making muffled screams with a bucket on her head, pouring glue all over her.
"Oh shit," Dest said through her hysterical laughter. "GO KARA!"
Amber smacked straight into a wall and bounced off onto the floor. Still shrieking muffled sounds she wiped away the glue from her eyes, which now covered her entire body.
And then Kara emptied a whole bucket full of god knows what, I think I can see a load of feathers, some ketchup and brown sauce, is that…melted cheese! Well, anyways, she emptied the whole thing onto Amber's head just after Dest yanked the bucket that was already on her head off.
"MMMMFFPPPHHHHHH!" Amber wailed.
"What the fuck is that?" I asked a hysterical Kara, trying to suppress my own laughter.
"I-I'm not sure…!" Kara giggled as Amber started running around and flapping her arms as if she was demented bird trying to take off. "I think its…um…sweets? No, no, its tampons!"
Tampons?
"Fred and Nick," I laughed as I realised.
"Noticed huh?" Fred grinned as he tried to keep balance on the wet floor. Then he grabbed my arm and slipped at the same time, sending us both crashing to the floor.
"FRED!" I shrieked through my laughter.
"OWW!"
"Hmph!" Both Melody, who was splattered with both glue and feathers and odd bits of melted cheese that stuck to her hair, and Amber tripped over us, falling into a heap next to us.
"Me toph!" Melody wailed through the cloth.
"TAKE COVER!" Mirror yelled as she slipped as well and landed on top of me.
"MIRROR!"
"Owww…"
Kara, Destiny and Mariah were standing off on one side, hugging each other as they laughed their heads at us.
Slowly the hysteria died down and Kara helped Mirror up, before Mi, being the klutz she is, slipped and pulled down Kara to the floor. Still giggling, I lifted myself slowly and carefully as Nick helped Mirror up. She slipped again but Nick caught her in time and now stands to be the only person who hasn't fallen down while helping someone up.
GO NICK!
"Give us a hand," Kara mumbled through weak giggles. I leaned down and pulled her up, luckily neither of us fell over.
"Dudes, the bell's gonna go in five minutes," Fred warned.
"Okay lets get the ball rolling," Nick said, pulling up Amber who no longer was struggling or making any sounds. Fred followed his brother's example and hoisted up Melody.
Mariah checked the corridor before signalling that we could go. The twins dragged the two silent cheerleaders as Mariah and Destiny went ahead and Kara, Mirror and I trailed behind, giggling quietly.
"They didn't know what hit them!" Mirror whispered, ducking to avoid the teacher looking through the window of one of the classrooms.
"I know!" Kara grinned, her auburn eyes dancing.
"Say, this week should be really interesting," I mused.
"Are you kidding?" Mi snorted.
"Nope."
"It was a rhetorical question you nuthead,"
"I know,"
"Got the ropes?" Fred asked as we caught up with them in the playground.
"Yep," Mirror grinned as she retrieved the long rope from her bag.
"Who wants Amber? Cass?"
"Sure thing," I grinned, pushing said person against the tree closest to the main gates .
"I want Summers!" Mirror squealed, grabbing Melody.
"SO DO I!" Kara yelled, snatching Melody away.
I watched in amusement as Kara and Mirror kept pushing and pulling Melody around, before Destiny grabbed her and pushed her against the tree before either girl could notice.
"Okay rope!" Destiny yelled, grabbing Mirror and Kara's attention, since Kara was now running around piggy backing Mirror.
What the fuck?
Okay, they've officially gone mad.
"Okie dokies," Mi grinned, dropping to the floor. Grabbing one end of the rope, we started running in circles around the tree and a whimpering Melody and a scared shitless Amber.
"Wh-what are you doing!" Amber stuttered.
"Wait and see," Mi grinned as she passed her, yanking hard on the rope. Finally we met on the other side of the tree and tied the rope into a double knot.
"You can't do this!" Melody wailed. "You'll get in trouble!"
"Nah, we won't," Kara smirked.
"What about your sister huh?" Melody shot at me, "She'll blow a fuse when she finds out,"
Yeah, maybe if this had happened last month.
"Nope, sorry to burst your flimsy bubble of hope Summers but Holly herself said this was a good idea, okay?"
"WHAT!"
"BRRRRINNNNNGGGGG!"
"The bell!"
"Okay, c'mon!"
Soon the playground filled up, and just as predicted everyone began flocking towards us in interest.
"What's going on?" Ozuma frowned as him and the boys arrived.
"You'll see," Dest smirked as I stood in front of Amber and Melody, who was now sobbing openly.
Once the crowd was big enough, Kara and Mirror stood on either side of me and looked at me.
"Lets do this," I grinned.
Kara nodded and turned to the food and feather covered cheerleaders. "Amber Trendson. Willow Tate, Mirror Chang and I, Kara Hiwatari, challenge you to a prank war,"
Amber glared at us. "Fine, I accept," she sneered.
"Oh good. The rules are as followed," I smirked, "One: There is a time limit of one week. The official dead line is Sunday morning, nine o'clock,"
"Two: You may have anyone you like on your side as long as they're not already on our side." Mirror said.
"And three: You can prank anyone you like but once you've pranked that person they can no longer be on your side," Kara finished off.
"Okay, we're done here," Mirror grinned.
"See ya girls," Nick and Fred called over their shoulders.
"Yeah laters. Good luck with getting some good pranks," Kara smirked as we walked off.
"HEY! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE US HERE!"
"Watch us!" I yelled back.
Mariah and Destiny ran up to us.
"Brilliant!"
"Yeah! I've got it all on camera too!" Mariah grinned, waving the video camera in our face.
"Wicked!"
"So, Cass, you all set for after school?" Mirror asked as we walked away, the laughter of the crowd fading.
"Oh yeah, I've got a change of clothes with me," I sighed.
Five hours left til I see Jamie again.
Damn.
Okay tell me what you think yeah? And I'll try to update quickly next time. Lol.
Just a question guys...I've had this new idea for a beyblade fic. Its about this girl Lily who has a large family with twelve kids including her. They've just moved from New York to North California and she ain't exactly happy with it. Its also got a twist- theres magic involved.Y'know, another world through a portal (think Inuyasha style but notthe same. it isnt the past, just a completely different world) a talking cat called Misty who technically isnt a cat andLily being the Guardian of...well, okay, itsjust about her trying to juggle her school life, love life, home life and other-worldly life. Tell me what you think okay?
Well,review please!
Ciao
