a prank and a secret

Trish's POV

apparently my grip on dez was really strong and he kinda passed out. i didn't mean to but it was nice having his so close to me. it's not like i like him or anything though. i am more into the intellectual but funny/serious at the same time type. not dumb goofballs. "hey guys i think he's waking up." i said. his eyes fluttered open and he saw me, Austin, David, Jessica, ally, and Jacob looking down at him. he didn't seem to notice but he was lying in my lap.

"what happened?" asked the confused red-head.

"Trish put you in a headlock and you fainted because of the lack of oxygen." said ally.

dez's POV

i woke up and was really confused but once ally explained things to me i remembered everything that happened. i understood exactly what she said but to keep the dumb act going i gave her a confused look. she sighed.

"ok dez let's try this again. Trish put you in a head lock and you couldn't get air into yourself so you took a nap." she said it like i was a five year old but oh well.

"ok then. what are we doing next?" i asked. i sat up and then i realized i had been lying on trish's lap. it was nice but i didnt make too much of a fuss about it but i could feel a slight blush creeping up to my cheeks. i stood up and looked at my friends awaitingly.

"well we could all go to the park." said Austin.

"ok lets go!" i said. we all walked out of his house and were about to head to the park but then we realized that all of us were covered with whipp cream caramel and caramel. "hey guys, maybe we should change first. we can all meet up at ally's house, ok?" said austin."yea" we all said simultaniously.

we added our numbers to eachothers phones and then went our seperate ways.

i reached my house and went up to my room. then my phone rang. it was trish. i wondetr why shes calling me? i answer and imediatly hear trish talking. it seems as though she is talking to herself. she says "ok think trish think. what prank can i on dez and the others? oh i know! when we get to the park i will go hide in a bush behind them or something and blow my dog whistle i got when i worked at the pet shop. that will send a whole group of dogs strait for them and they will get slobered! this will be a perfect revenge for them ruining my outfit. maybe i wont do it. after all i dont want dez to get hurt. or ally. i wouldnt want any of them to get hurt. especially dez. wait did i say dez, i meant ally! why would i care if dez got hurt? why wouldnt i care? becausew im trish. i dont like dez. wait this is crazy. im fighting myself outloud. here comes ally. i should tell her that i will be out in a moment. i dont want her knowing my plan." then i hung up. its not nice to eavesdropp after all. but i need to do something. i know what to do but i cant. the everyone will see how smart i am. the only thing i can do is tell austin. he will think of something. hopefully. i dont wanna be attacked by dogs. plus im severly allergic to dogs. no one knows that about me either. i am also asmatic, not afraid of blood (they think i am) and am allergic to peanuts but no one knows it about me.i dial austins number. "hey dez, what up?"

"i dont know if this is important but trish but dialed me and i heard her talking to herself. she said she was going to play a prank on us while were at the park."

"what did she say she was going to do?"

"i dont know. something about a whitle and dogs attacking us. well bye!" i hope he will figure this out.

austins POV

at the park

after dez told me about trish i started thinking. maybe we could move out of the way so that only trish get attacked. i know its kinnda mean but she needs a taste of her own medicine. i told the others and we all agreed on my plan instead of dez's who thought we could get rid of the dogs by sending a flock of penguins after them. we were now all walking down the sidewalk. trish was starting to lag behind us. i nod at the others and they nod back. then all of the suddoni see a herd of dogs headed straight for us. we all move out of the way and tirsh gets trampled by the dogs. they were pouncing on and licking her.

when the dogs finnaly retreated we all stood over her and stared. she was covered in slobber and scratches from the dogs nails. she was even slightly bleeding in some places. i looked at dez. for some reason he looked concerned about something. he was looking down at trish. he had a glimmer in his eyes that i had never seen on him before. but i have seen that look on someone else sister when she looks at her boyfriend. what if dezlike likes trish! stop thinking and say something austin. "thats what you get when you try and play a prank on the moon!"

"wait austin, how did you know i was going to play a prank on you?" she asked.

i looked at dez and then at her. but so that she didnt hurt the concerned looking boy, who i would talk to later, i wouldnt say that it was him who heard her. "well you see you but dialed us and we heard you planning your revenge.

her cheeks turned slightly red. i wonder what else she said. "oh. well can you guys help me up. dez was thefirst to react and he carefully helped her up.

Dez's POV

i was really concerned about trish. the dogs scratched her and she was bleeding in some places. i helped her up and on instinct i started checking her wounds. i have taken first aid classes since i was 5. the cuts werent too bad and all she needed was an ice back or 2, some disenfectant, and some band-aids. my freinds were looking at me in shock at how i was handling this. they think im afraid of blood unless its in a movie because then i know its not real. my cover might be blown. i have to create a cover story and fast.

"um...yep this is the real trish." i think i covered that nicely.

"who did you think she was?"

"a cyborg sent from the future to take over the world and eat out our brains! duh!"

"dez you do realize that trish is bleeding dont you?"

i scream like a little girl and jump backwards to keep the act going. everyone starts laughing at me and i get kinnda sad. sometimes it doesnt feel worth it to act like i do since i dont like people making fun of me. but tis a price i have to bay. "he's afraid of blood" explains austin while still laughing at my expense.

"its not funny!" i yell tears almost in my eyes.

"ok guys lets stop now. we dont wanna hurt his feelings." says ally.

"thank you ally!"

"anyway, trish sorry about the dogs. but you did have it coming. are you ok?"

"yea, im fine. just a couple scrapes and bruises. nothing serious."

"well lets head over to our house and get you cleaned up."

"lets go!" i said. i wanted to see where trish lived just in case i need her for something. you know she's kinda cute. but she's a little too forcefull i like funny sensitive yet determned girls.

"hey guys im gonna catch up to you. i need to talk to dez for a minute alone. ok?"

"ok austin" austin pulled me aside and out of earshot of theothers.

"dez tell me the truth. do you like trish?"

"what why would i like her? i mean she is cute and funny but she's mean and you know i dont like mean girls."

"ok but i want you to know that when you were looking at her you looked really concerned about what the dogs did to her. and i saw that sparkle in your eyes that i see when my sister is looking at her boyfriend. i also saw the same look in her eyes."

trish's POV

all of the suddon ally pulled me aside of the rest of the moon family beside austin and his friend dez. "trish do you like dez?"

"what why would i like dez. you know i like smart funny guys. not dumb idiots."

"i know you say that but i could see that look in you eyes that you get when you see someone you are in love with."

"well do you like austin?"

"no. i dont even know him all that well. and besides we havnt spent that much time together. the most he's told me is that he doesnt have a dad, that he loves music like me,and that his mom is dead. died about 2 weeks ago. so jacob takes care of them."

"your right thats not alot. but youve been here almost a month now and i know you met the first day you got here."

"he got realy sick and had to go to the hospital for a while."

"well then if you cant love austin because you havnt known him that long then i have thi right not to decide if ilike dez or not. fair?"

"fair." we walk back and join the group.

dez's POV

"well do you like ally austin?"

"idont know her that well. so i dont really know. but so far we have a great frienship going on and if idecide on what im feeling too soon then it could ruin our friendship if i got my feelings rong"

"well then if you dont know how you feel after a month then i dont know after 3 days. ok?"

"ok." we walk back and join the group. i do hope that trish will be ok and doesnt get an infection from those cuts.

we were now walking back to ally and trish's house when i see a kid about 2 yearsolder than me trying to do a complicated algebraic expression that was probably assigned to him in summer svhool.

"hey guys i'll catch up with you in a minute. ok?"

"ok"said austin.

trish's POV

dez said he was going to catch up to us in a minute so i dec ided to see what he was doing. i hid behind a large tree and watched him sitd on on the curb next to a boy that was at least a good 2 years older than us. he was struggling with a complicated algebraic expression. then dezstarted to help the boy. he did ythe expression in less than a minute and icould tell he got the answer right. he was using corect algebraic terms and tought thekid how to do the problem. when he was finished he got up and started walking to catch up with us. i walked infront of jim stoping him dead in his tracks.

dez's POV

i was heading to catch up with the others when trish walked infront of me.

"wow dez, i didnt know you were smart enough to do that complicated of an algebraic expression."

"i dont know what your talking about trish."

"come on i saw you help that upper grader."

"fine but you cant tell anyone.i act unintelligable so that people dont expect as much out of me. people think i get C's and D's but realy i am a straight A student. i'm in all advanced classes and i tutor upper graders in my free time. i have taken first aid training since i was 5 and i am not afraid of blood. i'm asmatic, deathly alergic to dogs and peanuts, i love to help people and i dont like to be made fun of. there i said it. but austin doesnt know any of this and i dont want his to. please dont tell him."

"dont worry you secrets safe with me. but as long as you dont tell ally my secret. truth is i was always made fun of because of my weight so i act tougher than i am. i am alergic to cats and am pretty much a somplete scardy cat when it comes to scarry movies and haunted houses. in truth i hate to hurt people and i hate to hurt peoples feelings. i dont like to be made fun of either. please dont tell ally."

"dont worry. your secrets safe as well." then we hugged and i felt a bolt of electricity run through my body. maybe i do love trish.

trish's POV

we hugged and i felt a shock of electricity go through my body. maybe i do love dez.
