Hey everyone, how'd you like the last chapter. I thought it went pretty good, but that's not my decision to make. So far so good, let's keep this up people.

Mason: I'm a pea!

Ventus [me]: Stop talking nonsense. Sorry people, he went to a party and got drunk.

Mason: I'm not a hunk.

Ventus: Not hunk, I said drunk.

Mason: I got dunked.

Ventus: Maybe in a wine cooler.

Mason: I whine boozer?

Ventus: Let's begin before Mason says something really disturbing, like for real.

Chapter 3: Little Miss Mess with the Wrong Teenager

Alice's P.O.V

I heard the scream as so did everyone else. Lynn apparently, but when some smoke cleared, we saw not Lynn, but another one that was with her.

So it was a double scream. The other girl had innocent blue eyes unlike Lynn's devil green. Her shirt was covered in green goo and her shorts were also. Her shoes were pink tennis shoes with white soles and red laces.

Her hair was a lighter brown with some light blonde streaks.

"Amber, what is this," she asked. She obviously had a popular tone to her. Her body was something that a guy would like. She could have been a model.

"How would I know Alani?" Lynn said, obviously in a really high douse of anger boiling down in her.

The boys around the mall's lot began to laugh in fits.

They laughed hard and surely loud for the matter.

"What I say, you'll see what I meant," Dan said, smiling at how well it went out, "we got Lynn and her friend, whoever she is."

I looked at the girl named Alani. Unlike Lynn, she was blushing red, instead of boiling mad.

She ran away from Lynn's side and across the lot, without being noticed. Lynn looked where she was standing and grunted loudly and angrily.

"Runo look where Alani's running to. Maybe she didn't want to be with Lynn," I suggested.

"Your right, let's go ask," Runo said.

Runo and I ran to where Alani was. It was under a stone bridge that brought fresh water into the mall.

We skied down. "You ok," I asked.

She looked up at us, "um, not right now, no," she said, resting her head on her knees.

"Do you even know who you were with," Runo asked.

"Yeah, I was with Amber Lynn Striker. Oh, by the way, my name is Alani Silone," she replied.

"Hi, I'm Alice Gehabich," I said, handing out my hand.

"And I'm Runo Misaki," Runo said, doing the same.

She took it and we helped her up.

"Yo, Runo, Alice, where are you guys," Dan called.

"Down here Dan," Runo called back.

Dan found where we were and slid down the huge slope to the bridge, and to us.

"Hey, I see you meet a new friend," Dan said. We looked behind him to see Mike come down as well.

"Yeah, this is Alani Silone," I said.

"Well hello Alani, Amber's friend right, I'm Dan Kuso, nice to meet you," Dan said holding out his hand.

She took it and smiled while shaking it, "I'm not entirely that accuser's friend."

I was shocked to hear that come from someone who was so close to her.

"You think Amber's an accuser," I asked.

"Yeah," she answered, "that accuser you call Amber totally did something offensive."

"Like what," Mike asked, finally speaking up.

"By talking about stealing this guy named Shun Kazami and killing this innocent girl," she replayed.

"That'll be Alice alright," Dan announced.

I looked at him with an -are-you-serious-look on my face.

Dan seemed to get the message since he said, "you are dating Shun."

Alani looked toward me. She studied me and said, "You're the innocent girl. I knew it."

"Knew what exactly," Mike said.

"That Alice is the key to Shun. Their love is bonded to tightly for Amber to get to Shun, so she wants to get Alice out of the way. It all makes sense now," she answered rather quickly.

Before I can speak, Mike asked, "Is anyone else with Amber?"

"Yeah, three others, all girls. One is named Krista Lignose. She's a martial artist from China; she'll be the one you have to look out for. Another is Hazel Granite. Her father is the principal of our school, whatever she wants she gets, making that an easy getaway if something goes bad. Then the other is who everyone should be afraid of. Her name is Alexia Garonne. She's like a superhuman. Her strength is overwhelming." Alani answered.

"So you're saying we have to watch out for her bodyguards," Dan asked.

"Pretty much," Alani replied nodding.

"So, let me get this straight… Krista Lignose, Hazel Granite, and Alexia Garonne. We have to split those girls up. We have to find enough information on each. They can be dangerous together but alone they will fall more quickly," Mike said, his hand on his chin and looking toward the ground, his eyes closed.

"Right, I've heard that Krista Lignose is very strong with Hazel or most likely Alexia more often than herself," Julie said, finally arriving.

"We have to find a way to get information though," Dan said, thinking. He whipped out his phone and walked away from the group, "Be back in a sec. Hey buddy, I got something to ask ya. How can I explain this?"

I turned my attention to Alani. "So Lynn's been using you?"

She looked toward me in a confused manor. "Lynn is her real name. Lynn Amour Striker. I know her older brother, Real Haul Striker.

"Oh, I heard about him. He became King of Persia because his father passed away. Amber was sent here with all of us for some reason, but I know it's not his fault Amber wants to do this," Alani started to cry and said quietly, "I love my boy to not even suspect him."

What did she mean by, 'my boy'? I looked over to Mike.

"Well, one thing's for sure. We have to start with the information. Runo, you search up Hazel Granite. Julie, you can search Alexia Garonne, and Alice, how about you search up Krista Lignose." Mike suggested.

"Alright," we said.

So my girl is this Krista Lignose.

Dan came back. "Shun said to ask Alani for some basic things one at time. It'll be too much pressure if we ask all at once. And that he suggested that we use the internet to find out some common facts. I heard they each have an account on Hotshot. That'll give us some recent posts of their activity. Most popular girls usually update their status more than 14 times a day."

"Ok well that's a start sort of," Runo said.

"Let's go home and see what we can do," Julie said.

"Alright, how about Alani comes home with me first," I asked.

They agreed. Looks like I'm up first.

So how do you guys think about the story so far. Tell me what I can do to make it better and what I can do to make it more interesting. But you have to tell me, you can't keep silent.

If your wondering what Hotshot is, it's a website Brawlers use to communicate with each other.
