A/N: Heya guys! I know I know its been forever! But I posted this and I will post another in a few days so maybe you can forgive me? bahaha! Keep in mind that Katy and her friends are only a year and a half younger than the boys. Enjoy the third chapter of big time election!
8:15, classroom
About half of the class had already entered the room. One of these people was Katie.
She sat at her usual seat and was painting her binder with nail polish, something she always did when nervous. There she sat, pondering if she should have trusted her team to do their jobs. She had not indeed seen her poster yet and was beginning to wonder if she even had a poster. Katie looked up and with a gleam in her eye and relief in her sigh beckoned Brittany who had just entered.
"So, do you have the poster?"
Brittany shrugged, "I just did the design and gave it to Tyler ."
Katie sighed, this project was worth a big chunk of her grade and if she did not win, let alone have a poster, her grade would go down. She could not let that happen.
Camille walked through the door in a huff followed by a sulking Logan .
"But Camille! Come on lets just talk this out! Please!" Logan begged
Camille stubbornly shook her head, crossed her arms and stomped over to Jo. The two girls began to whisper to each other and throw dirty looks at Logan .
Logan rolled his eyes, Oh great, he thought as he slumped down on his chair. The reason Camille was so angry at him was because their date the night before… had not gone so well:
Logan had picked up Camille at around 6ish and they headed off to Chez Jacques, the elegant French restaurant just around the corner. When they got there they took their seats and the evening was going great so far. Logan was pretty nervous for this date so he did something any stupid guy in love would do, take advice from his best friend.
For this particular circumstance, he went to his friend that knew the most about dating girl, naturally James. James told him to surprise Camille during the dinner. So, James had hired a young man to play the violin while they dined and have a girl from the candy store to deliver a candy gram bringing her sweet tarts, her favorite candy. It ended up that the guy who played guitar was her ex boyfriend and e threw a smoothie on Camille's head when he saw her then stormed off. As you can see quite clearly, their breakup was a rough one. Then the girl who was bringing the sweet tarts came along. It also turns out that she was a HUGE fan of Logan. More like obsessed. When she saw him, she screamed and threw herself at him. Then she began to kiss him. Poor Logan was trying to get her off as his girlfriend stormed out of the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Tyler had entered the classroom with nothing in his hands but a binder. No poster. Katie ran towards him and glared.
" Tyler… where is our poster?"
" Chillax I gave it to Danny to do the lamination."
" Gah, fine…. Who says chillax anymore anyway?"
"I DO!"
Tyler huffed and went to his seat. He then took a pass to go get some water. Katie just shrugged then smiled as Danny entered the room. To her pleasure, in his hand was a shiny poster. He presented it to her with pride.
"So, wattaya think?"
"Its… its… amazing!"
Katie smiled with excitement at seeing herself on a glossy poster. On the poster, she leaned against a railing. She looked out to the side and was laughing. The whole poster was edited to look like a cinema film. The colors were old and 80s but then she was shiny and looked refurbished and new. On the top it read, Katie Knight: A new generation. Katie grinned and jumped up and down. "Oh Danny it's amazing just amazing." She embraced him and they just stood there hugging right by the door, forgetting about the rest of the class. James enterd and without even lookin up from his poster he was analyzing, he cleared his throat and raised his eyebrows. "Guys, break it up." They stopped hugging and went to their seats. Danny looked embarrassed. Katie glared at James and was so angry she broke her only pencil right down the middle. She cursed under her breath. "Hey Brit, can I borrow a pencil?"
"Ya sorry you have to sharpen it though." She handed her a sparkly yellow pencil sweetly.
"Thanks" Katy smiled and stood up to go sharpen her she had gotten her yellow pencil to a nice point, she began to return to her desk, only to make a stop by James first.
"What ever you think you are doing to 'protect' me from Danny, save it. Im a big girl. I can certainly take care of myself." She warned.
James winked at her, "what ever you say little one."
"GAH!" Katie grunted and stormed off to her desk. He really knew how to get under her skin.
Kendall and Carrlos raced in and gathered their two other bandmates. "Behold, the great poster!" They all looked up at it in awe. It looked just like their other posters but it was bigger and shinier. They all high fived and cheered not noticing Jillian standing behind them. She held a poster in one hand and a lemon in the other. Kendall and Logan exchanged glances of " Crap we forgot". Jillian glared at them.
"What the hell guys! I just worked so hard on this poster for YOU two! And now you teamed up with the hot guy and the mexican one"
Carlos looked offended, "I'm actually latino thank you very much!"
Kendall backed him up, "And yes, actually we did team up with them."
Logan felt a little bad though "And, your welcome to join us."
James winked at her
Jillian glared at them, "Actually I'm going to be in the election! You guys are going down!" and with that, she huffed off.
The boys all shrugged and took their seats as they saw Miss Kelsey enter.
"Alright class, today is the day that we pick the best poster! If everyone could hand theirs over with one representative from the teams we can begin." Miss Kelsey exclaimed.
Katy, Jo, Kendall, and Jillian went to the front of the class and held up their poster proudly. Surprisingly, Jillian had managed to change the poster to match her.
"Everybody who is not involved with the election must write your vote and turn it into the basket. I will then tally up the votes!"
A few minutes later Miss Kelsey was tallying up the votes when she got a call.
"Yes, okay thank you." She hung up the phone.
"Everybody please leave your stuff here and get in line in alphabetical order. We need to all stay calm. I'm afraid to alarm you there is a criminal on the premises of the palmwoods and we need to keep you all safe. I am going to count you all off to make sure everyone is here. After that we are all going to go into the supply closet and lock the door. I don't believe we are in any danger thes are just precations until everything is all clear."
Everyone looked frightened. Brittany bit her lip and quickly walked over the end of where the line would be.
Her last name was Zyz so she was ALWAYS at the end.
Jillian and Danny walked near the front of the line.
Their last name was Ace but they weren't related.
Danny looked relaxed but Jillian was nervously biting on her lemon.
Everyone was chattering.
Carlos was excited because this would probably cut into history and he hadn't finished his report on the cold war.
James looked bored scared and full of adrenaline all at the same time. He was consoling a girl who was behind him.
Kendall held Katie's hand tight because instinctively he wanted to keep her safe.
Miss Kelsey was checknig off the clipboard of peoples names as she went down the line.
"Wheres Tyler?" she stated calmly. "Has anybody seen Tyler!" She exclaimed alittle more worried.
Everyone shook their head and looked around.
"Tyler went to get a drink of water" Katy whispered to Kendall.
"Its all my fault!" Katy exclaimed as she broke free from Kendalls grip and ran out the door.
"KATIE!" Kendall yelled.
"Everyone STAY here!" Miss Kelsey warned . She then ran out the door.
A few minutes late she came back and locked the door. "Everybody in the palmwoods is on lockdown. We don't know where the criminal is at the moment." She closed her eyes.
"Katie and Tyler are missing."
