It's been a week, so what time is it? *cues drum roll* UPDATE TIME! You got it right! The story is starting to get more interesting! I'll be a bit busier over the next few weeks, so don't expect too much from me, please! Of course, I'll try to keep up with my writing. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Do we really think anything has changed within a week? Unless I magically got rich, I don't own SWAC, okay? *sighs* I wish I did…
"What?" Julia asked sadly. Everyone suspected she had a bit of a crush on her. Of course, Grady had liked her a lot too, so if he weren't dead, they'd actually make a pretty good couple. Why? Well for starters, they both had blonde hair. Julia's was darker, and almost brown. His was lighter. He had blue eyes, she had green. See, a perfect couple! Anyways, she began to cry softly, and her fellow friends began to soothe her, looking sad as well.
"Now, how did he die?" Trevor asked. He was silent most of the time, but also very good looking. "I mean, I know by gun. But who could have killed him?" Everyone stood silently, pondering the fact.
A Meal or No Meal girl spoke up. "I bet it was just a random shooting, things like that happen all the time. A drunken person could easily have shot him a bunch." She looked back at the bloodied body. Everyone missed his innocent jokes already.
"I miss him!" Julia wailed.
Sonny sighed, thinking of what she would do if Chad died. A mess of emotions took over her, and she felt her heart leap into her throat. Somehow, she felt as if she were choking on it and began to cough everywhere.
"Sonny? Are you okay?" Chad asked.
She looked up, blushing a bit. "F-f-fine." She couldn't stand to look at the boy. How was she thinking about Chad at a time like this? Her friend just died, and she was thinking about her imaginary love live. Not that she ever thought about Chad in an awkward way, really. Just after thinking such things, she then began to think of them kissing. She couldn't help but like it… And cue the awkward cough.
Anyways, we're off topic here, yet again. The group had then begun to move on. As much as they would have liked to bury the body and have a proper funeral, it would have been too much. After all, so many people would die in this storm. They couldn't do anything but leave him there. Besides, who would want to stick around an area where a murderer was running around?
They began on their way again towards downtown, where the next clue was hidden. Or at least that was what the group called it, believing it was just a silly scavenger hunt. When all seemed fine, a violent gust of wind came again.
"This better not be as violent as before." A voice yelled. But it was. The groups struggled towards a building, barely able to get the door open. The receptionist looked confused, but then began to look excited.
"Oh my, you're from Mackenzie Falls, aren't you?" She exclaimed, pointing to the Mackenzie Falls group. "You're from So Random!" She then yelled again, pointing to Sonny and her friends. "I love your shows. They make my day, really. Can I have your autographs, please?"
"Okay, if you want!" Chad told her, getting out a picture of him from his backpack. Sonny made sure to give him a painful sounding slap on the arm. Chad couldn't help but notice feeling sparks throughout the stinging pain. He shook it off as nothing, but couldn't help noticing Sonny looked terribly pretty when annoyed.
"You're such a narcissist," She whisper-yelled at him.
"Oh please, Sonny. Do you even know what a narcissist is?" He whispered to her.
"It's you, that's for sure." She retorted.
Alexis looked bored. She was a Meal or No Meal girl, and the most stubborn one at that. Rumor was she was so annoying the only reason she got dates was because she was gorgeous. "Can we stop with the little flirt fest we got going on here?" She asked casually, not looking up from her nails.
Chad sighed, and went to whisper back in Sonny's ear. "She's a bitch, you know?"
Sonny nervously giggled, then pulled away. She walked back to her cast in a tipsy-turvy kind of way. She hated how Chad had such an effect on her. That and she was a bit dehydrated. She took a long gulp of water then turned around to her friends. They looked somewhat shocked and a bit disgusted.
"Don't say anything." She growled at them.
"Hey, where's the rest of your group?" Yasmine, a member of the Falls asked Alexis.
Alexis walked around the room. "Well, I guess they're gone."
Sonny spit out her water. "What do you mean, GONE?" She asked, confused. "How do you lose a person?"
"We've already been over this; it's easy to lose a person!" Nico exclaimed, still obviously worried about his friend.
They all rushed out to look for them, and spent another ten minutes looking through the surrounding areas to find the other 7 girls. Unfortunately, they were nowhere to be found. The wind had swept them away.
"Oh well, they're gone. Let's move on." Alexis said, still examining her nails.
"Bitch." A voice mumbled, most likely Zora. She knew a collection of swears. One of the first conversations Zora and Sonny had were how to say idiot, crap, damn, and various other not-so-nice words in Japanese and Mandarin. She then warned Sonny that she knew various other swears in 27 other languages and that she would use them.
"So now that like, half of us are dead or something, who do you think is the one to save the world?" Sonny looked around, seeing if anyone would answer.
Chad laughed, walked back over to her and said, "What Mr. Condor said wasn't real. It's not normal for a guy like that to say something like that. But if it was anyone, I think it'd be you, Sonny. You're the only one who believes in this thing, anyways."
Sonny gulped. She didn't believe it was her. She was just an average girl. But if it was her, this would be a long few days, she decided. A long few days indeed.
The last few paragraphs seemed cliché to me… oh well. I loved writing the part with Alexis, I don't write characters like that on a daily basis. Please review!
