"Seriously, if she did break it, it'd be a shame."

Aryssa glared across the side of Blake's shoulder over at her black haired friend. "Meggie, this nuclear power plant thing of yours better be coming up, because I'm about ready to kill this guy."

Meggie laughed, as she skipped on ahead. Everyone seemed to be taking amusment in Aryssa's annoyance-well, except for herself, of course.

"Come on, Aryssa!" Lori giggled "You should be enjoying this! A hot guy has you thrown over his shoulder how often do you get to experience this?"

"I happen to already have my eye on someone Leorra. So, excuse me for being a bit annoyed when he keeps commenting on my ass!"

"Yeah, I know this, but you can still enjoy another guys comment."

"Wait, wait, wait." Bradley interupted, shaking his head-still carrying Lori. "How come I didn't know you already liked someone?"

"Because we talk about it during sleepovers." Meggie smiled. "In between doing makeup and trying on each other's clothes."

Blake shifted his hold on Aryssa just a bit before asking "How? Border students aren't allowed to leave campus unless it's with a family member."

"Have you ever seen me do a makeover on someone?" Lori asked, sounding a bit hurt. "I can make myself look like any one of their parents-and I'm a pretty darn good actor. Yeah, I'm that skilled."

"Oh, so that was you who snuck them off last week!" Chris laughed, crossing his arms. He was behind Blake, so he was the only one that Aryssa could see without straining her neck. "I knew it wasn't your mother!"

"Of course not!" Aryssa cried. "My mom lives in America, she wouldn't come all the way over here just to take me out shopping! How stupid can you be?"

Chris shot her a glare, and looked about ready to slap her, but Blake beat him to it. He slapped her right on the ass, making Aryssa screach and bite into his shoulder.

"Ow!" he yelled. "Hey, watch it!"

"Touch my ass again, and I'll bite something else." Aryssa growled, before continuing to struggle. "Seriously, I'm fine now! I can walk! Put me down!"

"Oh, you know you like it." Arianna smirked back at them. "You've been crushing out on him for quite a while, now."

"And who doesn't like being carry, huh, Bradley?"

Bradley looked up at her, before shrugging. "Yeah, being carried is fine, but doing the carrying gets a bit tiring after a while."

"Are you saying I'm fat?" Lori cried.

"No, no, no, you're not!"

"Le gasp! So I'm a stick now?"

"Uh... yes...?" Bradley flinched as if she'd already hit him.

Lori thought it over for a second, before smiling. "Okay, that works! I'm gonna give you something extra special when we get done."

Bradley blushed, as Aryssa pretended to barf at the thought.

"Wha-I didn't mean it that way! God, you guys are so messed up!" Lori cried. "I was going to buy him Tiramisu cheese cake!"

Meggie laughed, as they reached yet another ladder that Aryssa hoped they would climb up so that Blake would be forced to put her down. This time though, she got her wish. Meggie stopped and smiled back at the other ebony haired girl.

"Still, it was pretty funny wording." she giggled, before starting up the ladder. "Here's where we get off, folks. Those of you that are too lazy to walk must get off your hunks and climb."

Aryssa mumbled things about where Meggie could shove her supposed "hunk" before following Arianna up the ladder. She actually hoped that someone had heard her-though no one made any remarks.

"Um, Bradley?" Lori asked. "Could you deposit me on the ladder? I really don't wanna mess up these shoes. Speaking of fashion, you'd better not look up my skirt!"

Bradley sighed, moving over so Lori could put her feet on the ladder. "I'm really not looking forward to going home." he muttered just loud enough for Aryssa to hear. "Is there an alternate route we could take? One that doesn't involve me having to carry her five miles through a stinky tunnel?"

"I dunno, maybe. Probably, actually, I just wanted to make you all suffer." Meggie said, as she pulled the manhole off. She climbed out, then held out her hand to help the others, as well.

Aryssa gasped in the clean air as soon as she got out-did it always have such a sweet taste? Finally she was free of the cold, wet-oh, so wet-ground of the sewer, and Blakes probing hands.

They were ontop of the bridge that was right outside school grounds. They probably would've been caught trying to go there if Meggie hadn't led them underground. Oh, well, it may have been gross-and scarring-but whatever.

Meggie led them over to a building that was at the end of the bridge with no door. Aryssa wasn't sure why it was there, but she remembered Rob talking about it, once. Wasn't it an old Science building or something?

"W-We're supposed to go in there?" Arianna gasped, staring up at the building with wide eyes. "It looks like it'll collapse down at any second!"

""Don't be a baby, I have several houses out in the country that look the same way, but they're fine." Lori rolled her eyes. "The only one that collapsed was when Ragnarok accidentally ran into it, and it was just one wall! And a section of the roof."

"Plus," Chris smirked, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, causing the glasses wearing brunette to blush. "It'll be like an adventure!"

"I don't do too well, with adventures..." she sighed.

"Don't worry. I'll punch anyone in the face that tries to hurt you, okay? That includes the building."

Arianna blushed harder at this statement, but rolled her eyes, and moved out of his arms. "Okay, Miss. Crazy." she said, turnign back to Meggie. "How do we get down there?" she pointed to the ledge they were standing by.

Meggie smiled. "Like this."

She jumped off, and grabbed ahold of one of the many wire thingys and sliding down. Aryssa felt her mouth drop open as she watched the girl land.

Lori glared. "I am not using those, they so don't go with my outfit!" So she yanked her belt off, before tying it to one of the poles and using that to slide down. Aryssa didn't even stop to wonder how the hell the belt was 10 feet long. She really didn't question anything about Lori anymore. Besides, she was just the kind of girl to wear a ten foot belt.

Arianna closed her eyes before jummping off, closely followed by Chris who seemed to be taking his promise more to heart than nessecary. Bradley glanced down once, before reaching his arm out, grabbing one of the wires, and just sliding down, completely ignoring the whole jumping part.

"Ladies first." Aryssa turned around to see Blake smiling at her. "Unless," he added after she didn't say anything. "You want me to carry you over my shoulder again?"

Aryssa glared at him before jumping off without a second thought, and grabbing onto the first wire that came within her reach. She moved her feet so that she wouldn't land on any of her friends, and tried to ignore the pain in her hands. Pain shot up her again, as her feet made contact with the ground, but she didn't dare let it show, in fear that Blake would use it as an excuse to try and carry her again. Instead, she just bared.

The devil himself landed right next to her-just missing her by an inch. Aryssa really wanted to hit him for almost hitting her, but decided against it, and settled for a stomp over to Lori with a "BAstard" thrown over her shoulder.

"Alright." she sighed, wiping her aching hands on her pants. "Let's get the show on the road. Where do we go next?"
