Chapter 27
They were late again, but this time Lilac was with them. She laughed whenever Zack glanced down at his pendant, the one had had earned. "Man…I get it now…it really do." Jack shook his head and patted his brother's back. "Are you sure you can hold it in, Zay? Or is a storm a' coming." Zack growled and pushed Jack's arm away. "Shut up! I'm not going to cry, I just can't believe it."
"We're a team; we work together for the greater good. Rich tourists beware." Lilac put on her evil voice and Jack burst into laughter, Zack looked away smiling. "Its great that yoru happy, means my minions will be very active today." Lilac poked him. "Right? Right? Right?"
"Lilac!" Zack exclaimed. Lilac smiled and pushed through the school gates. "Looks like we're here, sorry Zay, going to have to continue this another time,"
"You really are evil!"
"Never tried to deny it," She said as she closed the back door and locked it. "Test 2! Open a lock!"
"Lilac!" Jack yelled. Lilac chuckled and unlocked it quietly. "I'm sorry! I can't hear you." Then she headed down the hall of old props and into the backstage. She whispered to the others, Franklin was there working on his tree costume, it was coming along great; he had a knack for stuff like that. Jasper was looking annoyed. "I can't believe I have to come here every play and I don't do anything and you who actually has a part; you are running thirty minutes late! Tell me is that fair?"
"I'm not as late as the Bargraves, at least." Jasper's eyes narrowed.
"You were with them?" She nodded and plonked herself down. "I wouldn't, Mrs Rydes has been calling for you for like twenty minutes now. You should go apologise."
"She has? Why?"
"You happen to have a main part, if you hadn't noticed." Lilac made an odd sound like an 'oh!' but with her mouth a hundred per cent closed and hurried over to the stage. "I'm sorry I'm late, missus Rydes!" Lilac ran up to her. Miss Rydes looked at her oddly, "Well, Lilac, this is a first, I didn't even know you were gone, forgotten to mark the roles I think. Stacey, can you check the role people."
"Already done it miss." Stacey said with a smile, she was a horrible creature. "Lilac, Zack, and Jack, have all seemed to misplaced their watches." Mrs Rydes nodded and tapped Lilac's head. "Well, if I need you I'll go get you, ok? Ms Mellark?" Lilac nodded, enraged. Coming back to Jasper she found him desperately trying to suppress instense laughter, he was attracting a lot of attention. "Well, well, well," Lialc did you best Stacey voice. "What do we have here? Are we doing productive work here Jas-picker." Jasper looked up suddenly then gasped.
"Lilac! You scared me!"
"Next you don't make me face the Stacey zone. Got it?" She straggled him and then pushed away because the twins hadn't figured out that the door was unlocked. When she opened it she brought Franklin, because Franklin was a big boy for being only ten.
