Emma's Pov
Gosh! Why is everyone turning against me! I do everything to be a good friend and then somehow everyone stops liking me. I wish Ash was here already. I was supposed to meet him at his hotel tonight. He decided not to meet me at the airport since he was quite tired from the flight last night.
Was everyone moving on from me? Will we never be the same old group like we used to be, back in the old days before I went to my trip around the world? I just don't see how Cleo could try being friends with that Bitch again. Rikki was the meanest, probably most irresponsible person around here.
I sat down at the picnic table as I waited. Waited for that one person who always helped me. Immediately I saw her coming this way. She was in her jogging shorts as she had a white shirt and her red hair was all fluffed up.
She smile as she saw me as she jogged to the picnic table to where i was sitting at.
"Hey Em!" Sophie smiled as she was a bit out of breath.
She walked around the picnic table to the other side where I was sitting at and sat directly across from me.
I gave her a small smile but it quickly disappeared as I remembered why I brought her here.
"So what is it you need? Advice, boy problems...?" She started asking but I stopped her.
"Cleo invited Rikki back into the group" I finally yelled out as I was pretty frustrated.
"What? "Sophie yelled but she calmed down as she realized how loud she yelled that.
"I mean seriously, why would Cleo ever invite that nasty bitch into her group." She started saying more calmly.
"That's what I thought when she did that! Its unbelievable! How could they be doing that to me?" I mentioned in frustration as sadness crept over me.
"Wow, they really have issues. I bet Cleo only invited her back in cause she felt bad for her." Sophie complained as she rolled her eyes.
"So what do i do?" I asked as Sophie looked a bit confused from the question.
I looked at her for an answer as she just sat there and thought about what I just asked her.
"There's only one other thing you can do..." She started out saying quite suspiciously.
"What's that?" I snapped, curious from what she was gonna tell me.
"It might be hard but... you need to make her life so miserable she wont even want to be in the group anymore. She would want to leave town or something, she would hate the group so much..." Sophie started explaining, sounding like she was talking to herself.
I shook my head as I heard her say that.
"Ok, I dont like Rikki but making her life miserable isn't the answer..." I mentioned but she cut in right when I finished saying that.
"Look, think about it this way." Sophie started saying. "Dont make it look like your making her life miserable, she will immediately see what your doing and will try to do the same back. Play nice and then in between those acts, do stuff that she would hate. Do it every now and then until she cant stand it and has to leave the group." Sophie explained, sitting up proudly on the picnic table.
"Every now and then? Like what?" I asked.
"I dont know, stuff that would annoy her so much she can't stand being around in the group, or you could just blame stuff on other people. If you really don't want her in the group, you must do what you can to get rid of her but do it the smart way, or she could outsmart you back." Sophie explained.
I leaned against the table as I knew some of what she was saying was wrong.
"Sophie, its cool but I never can really do that kind of stuff. I just can't see myself making her life misra-"
"Do want to do it or not?" Sophie snapped in anger.
I was taken back from the harsh comment as I never seen her so mean before. "Well yes but.." I mentioned confused.
"Then stick to the plan, if you cant do it yourself, then I will. Got it?" Sophie angrily snapped back as I sat at the table, confused from why she was acting that way.
"Ok, ok. I got it." I immediately responded, not wanting any more of her harsh feed back.
She smiled deviously as she stood up from the table.
"Good, remember, play nice. Then when she hits her weak spot, that's when you can get her." She said, going back to being all nice and sweet again, and then she left the table.
I was confused by her reaction. Why was she acting so mean to me? She was usually really nice to me and now since I wasn't doing what she wanted me to do, it made her really mad.
I sat there at the table, just trying to get my thoughts together. Maybe Sophie was just having a bad day. I just needed to do what was right and that was trying to get rid of Rikki; but how was I going to do that if Cleo invited her back into the group?
I was thinking of all the possible ways of making Rikki not want to be in the group until I heard my phone vibrate. I opened my phone to find a message from Cleo.
Cleo: Come to Will's boat shack. I need to tell you guys something.
I remembered Cleo talking about how Lewis was gonna break up with her. It did seem Lewis was gonna do that. He didn't seem to happy the last time I saw him talking to Cleo. I bet she just wanted to tell everyone they broke up.
Trying to comfort Cleo would not be easy, that was one thing for sure but she was my friend and I have to be there for her. Whatever happens I just hope it wasn't too bad, I knew ether way I would be up for a surprise...
Rikki's Pov
Immediately I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I swear the next time I see Zane, I'm gonna break his phone so he can never send me another stupid text message again. You know what? Forget that. I should just block his number. Why didn't I ever think of that?
I reached into my pocket, angrily grabbing my phone and turning it on. I was expecting to see "1 new Message from Zane" but instead it was from Cleo.
A bit surprised the text message wasn't from Zane, I clicked the message to see what Cleo sent me.
Cleo: Come to Will's boat shack. I need to tell you guys something.
Now remembering it, Cleo never told me what happened after the date with Lewis. I hope it wasn't bad. The least thing I wanted was to deal with a crying depressed Cleo. I looked around my room, knowing there wasn't much to do anyways.
Maybe Lewis didn't break up with Cleo, and now everything is just perfectly the way it was. He probably had a bad week and was apologizing for making everything seem terrible.
I walked out of my trailer and to the direction of Will's boat shack. I don't know why but as soon as I started to walk, i didn't feel so well. Maybe it was just stress from what was going on.
I looked outside Will's shack as I haven't been here in a long time. About 3 weeks; but that seemed like such a long time since I used to come over here almost every single day. I entered the boat shack to find, Emma, Cleo, Bella and Will all looking at me. Probably the first person I made eye contact with was Emma, but we both looked away since looking at her made me wanna punch her in the face.
I awkwardly walked in the shack as it turned silent. I know Cleo and Will were fine with me being their friends but I still had that awkward hate feeling towards Bella and Emma.
"Ok, I know this is weird just to call you up like this but I need to tell you guys something." Cleo started off saying.
I wanted to scream out: "Lewis broke up with you, didnt he?" But i just decided to stay quite so i didn't make Cleo upset.
"Well whatever happens, were here for you Cleo." Emma said with her stupid sweet Innocent voice.
I just rolled my eyes at her as I looked back up at Cleo.
"This is a little upsetting but I knew this was eventually gonna happen anyways." She started off saying.
I was certain at this point he broke up with her. There was no other thing he would of done.
"But, he proposed." Cleo raised up her left hand to show the small little diamond ring on her finger.
At first everyone was confused from what she just said but after we connected the word "proposed" and we saw the ring on her finger, everyone immediately knew what that meant.
"Oh my gosh? Your kidding? Bella yelled out as Emma's mouth was wide open.
"I wish I was, but its true." Cleo squealed as everyone immediately smiled from her response.
"Oh my gosh! Congratulations!" Emma sprang off the coach to hug Cleo.
Bella did the same as Will also hugged Cleo to congratulate her.
The only person who didn't hug her, was me. It wasn't because I wasn't happy for her, its just I suddenly got this sick feeling in my stomach. My insides were turning as this horrible feeling came up my throat.
"Oh god. I think I'm gonna gag!" I yelled out as everyone looked at me with straight faces.
Cleo immediately frowned as she didn't look too happy from the comment. Bella looked a bit uncomfortable as Emma just gave me that mad death glare.
"Wow Rikki. You seriously can't feel happy for your best friend? She just got proposed and all you can say is that? Wow, I cant believe Cleo even wanted to invite you back into the group. Your just the same selfish brat you always were-" But at that point, I couldn't handle it no more.
I felt it coming from my stomach as I jumped off the coach and found a plant that was next to the door way. I leaned my head into the plant and started to puke like crazy. Everyone just stood there in shock as I felt the horrible taste of vomit coming up my throat and out of my mouth. Immediately Will jumped up and grabbed my hair as Cleo, Bella and Emma just stood there in disgust, not knowing what to do.
I started to vomit some more as the taste was just horrible. I had no idea what was causing me to do this.
I stopped puking as I started to cough and spit inside the pot where the plant was. I tryed to get rid of that horrible vomit taste as I kept coughing and spitting.
Will let go of my hair and quickly grabbed a towel which was on his desk and handed it to me. I coughed into the towel as I cleaned the barf which was on my face. Cleo, Emma and Bella still just sat there with shocked faces.
After I stopped coughing into the towel, it was dead silent for about 30 seconds. "Wow, never knew someone getting proposed made you so nautious." Will quietly said as I started to cough back into the towel.
"You know there are other ways to feed the plant..." Emma mentioned with a bit of annoyance but disgust in her voice.
I looked down at the plant and the dark blue towel as it was all covered in vomit. What the Hell just happened?
