December 10th
Mirra's p.o.v
I was super excited for today. Why? Because Zack was coming over for a playdate.
It was the end of the day. We got out of class 45 minutes early so we could play outside. Of course we played my favourite game in the whole world, capture the flag. Zack, Ellie, Emma and I was on one team, Alfred, Nancy, Casey and Cindy were on the other. And yes, I do keen the Cindy that had bullied me.
A few days after I got them to stop, mommy and I ran into her and her mom at the store. While our mom's talked, she had apologized, saying she never wanted to be a bully but got caught up with the wrong friends.I hadn't trusted her at first, just I realized she was telling the truth when I saw her stand up to the other two. Melanie and Linda were harassing a first grader, but Cindy told them to stop, and when they wouldn't, snapped at then rather harshly. That angered them and they tried to hurt her, but I stepped in and stood up for her. We've been good friends since then.
Anyway, my teams flag was at the top of a small hill that led to the middle school. Ellie and Emma were guarding it while Zack and I had ran off to capture there's, which was by the Highschool entrance.
As we slowly snuck up on them, Zack tugged on my sleeve and pointed to something on the playground. What I saw made me grimace.
Adam. He was currently charming an innocent pigtailed first grader. My nose scrunched up at the sight that would ultimately break that poor girls heart. Without realizing it, my hand had slipped though Zacks and was now squeezing it violently.
"That jerk" he commented. "I don't know why he does that, breaks people's hearts for fun." He said that last part in as low and almost seeming angry way.
I agreed. "Man, I wish I could show him what for!" I said, my fingers tightening there grip around my palm.
"Why don't we then?"
"Huh?"
"Why don't we get revenge?" Zack said, a smile growing at the corners of him lips.
I smirked, an almost evil- like smirk. "What do you have in mind?"
OoOoOoOo
I was laying face first on the ground with ketchup smeared across my cheeks and hands. I had one eye closed and one eye open. We were at the bottem of the hill on the middle school campus, but non of the middle schoolers seemed to notice us, or just didn't care.
Zack sat by me, with 'tears' in his eyes. We had gotten Cindy in on our idea, and she was running full speed down the hill with Adam in tow.
"Oh my goodness!" She cried, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "I-i-its horrible. M-mirra! S-she-she-she! Oh, just please help!" She sniffed and cried. Man, that girl is a good actress.
Adam nodded and followed along to the bottem of the hill till he found me lieing down on the ground. Cindy dropped to her knees and started bawling. She didn't even need eye drops! Zack kept pushing my shoulder, saying "wak up, wake up".
"What happened!" Adam asked, raising his voice with a hint of panic.
"She fell down the hill." Zack said. "Hit her head. She reopened an old injury from the car crash she was in."
Adam started shaking me, and I felt my head being lifted into his lap. I cracked open my eyes slowly, using all my willpower not to burst out laughing at his expression.
"A-dam?" I croaked, reaching up my "blood" stained hands to grip on his sweater.
"I'm hear, what's wrong." He said gently, brushing a stray piece if hair off my forehead. That stupid charm.
"I f-forgive y-you." I smiled weakly before closing my eyes again and allowing my head to drop to the side.
I heard Cindy let out a high pitch wail.
"She's not breathing!" She screamed. Zack gasped and started feeling for my pulse. It tickled extremely, but I stayed still. When Zack moved away, he screamed and threw himself on the ground dramatically.
"No" I heard Adam whisper. "She just forgave me, and now she's dead. No. Please tell me it's not true!" I felt hot tears hit my face, and figured it was time to end it.
I snapped my eyes open and tackled him to the ground, pinning him and sitting on his lap while I held his wrist firmly on the ground. Zack and Cindy burst out laughing.
"That's what you get for being a real big jerk!" Not the best insult, but hey, I'm only eight.
I got up and wiped the ketchup off my hands, while we all walked back up the hill leaving Adam virtually mortified.
"Did you see his face!" Zack laughed, holding his ribs. I laughed along side him as we both sat down on a bench. We sat for a few minutes until we heard a car horn.
"Oh, mommy's hear!" I said as I grabbed Zacks hand and dragged him over to the car. We both sat in the passenger seat. We were small enough to sit in one seat. Mommy smiled sweetly and greeted Adam, who responded with a polite smile.
While driving, mommy turned down the radio to ask us something, but never took her eyes off the road.
"I need to pick up some groceries. I can give you the key to the apartment and you guys can let yourselves in. There was a half-day at the Highschool, so Percy should be there. Her eyes flickered over me as if to add unless he got attacked by a monster. "That okay with you two?"
We both nodded.
When we got to the apartment, mommy handed me the key and we headed upstairs. We decided to have an elevator race, so we each got in different elevators. I won by about a second.
We got to the door and I unlocked it, peaking in first to see what was going on, then giggled.
"What, what is it?" Zack asked, trying to look over me. I stepped out of the way and let him see what was inside.
Percy was sprawled out on the couch asleep,and Annabeth was laying next to him. His arms were wrapped around her waist and a hand held her head underneath his chin. Annabeth had her arms slung over Percy' s chests and one of her legs hung off the couch.
"Is that your brothers girlfriend?" Zack asked. I nodded. A smile grew on my face as I got an idea, then took Zacks wrist and pulled him inside.
"Shhh," I whispered. "Follow me."
He did as I told and we went into the kitchen, where mommy kept her spare cameras. I handed one to Zack and kept one for myself. We went back out and started taking pictures from all angles. Zack had also grabbed a video camera and was filming the whole thing.
Apparently we were giggling to loud, because they started to stir in there sleep. Percy sat up first, a firm grip still on Annabeths waist.
"What?" Percy asked, looking around. "Whats going on?"
Zack and I broke into a fit of giggles. They then realized we were holding cameras and blushed. Zack and I high-fived.
"Why you little-!" Percy yelled, balling his hand into a fist.
I flinched. "We may want to run." Then grabbed Zacks and to lead him upstairs.
OoOOoOoOo
We now sat on the bed with my collection of pokèmon plushies in front of us. We were having a battles, I was using buneary and he had Eevee.
"Eevee! Use Take Down!" Zack yelled.
"No! Buneary! Stay strong!"
"To late!" Zack said then covered his mouth with his hand as if he were speaking into a microphone. "Buneary is unable to battle. Their victor is Zack."
"Nooooo!" I dropped to my knees and cried out dramatically.
Zack laughed then bent down to give me his hand. "We shouldn't be fighting. We should combine our strengths."
I suddenly perked up. "Yeah!"
I ran over to the other side of the bed where my giant teddy bear was. I got behind it and spoke as if it were talking.
"Grrr, I am the evil team rocket! Hand over your pokèmon"
"Never!" Zack yelled, pointing his finger at the bear.
"Ha ha ha" it said. "Very well. The we will take them by force!" I ran back over beside Zack.
"You will never take our pokèmon! Emolga! I choose you!" I grabbed the Emolga plushie.
"Snivy, I choose you!" Zack grabbed the snivy plushie.
"Haha! Swoobat, I choose you" it said. I didn't have a Swoobat so we had to pretend.
"Emolga, use Thunder Shock!" I picked up a pencil and threw it at the bear.
"Snivy, use vine whip!" Zack picked up a jump rope and whipped it at him.
"Swoobat, use Air cutter on Snivy."
"No!" Zack cried as he dropped Snivy. Then he covered his mouth and said "Snivy is unable to battle." Zack then grabbed another Plushie. "Pikachu! I choose you!"
"Swoobat! Use heart stamp on Emolga!"
"Dodge it Emolga!" I jumped over. Zack and I look at each other and both got the same idea.
"Pikachu/Emolga!" We said in union. "Use electro ball!"
We picked up two bouncy balls and threw them. They hit the teddy bear in the stomach and he fell over.
"We won!" I cried. I went to high five Zack when I lost my footage on the jump rope and fell. I never hit the ground because Zack had quickly caught me in his arms.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah" I answered, looking up at him.
Then, barely even the slightest touch, but our lips accidentally brushed against each others.
We both jumped back. I cheeks started to burn a flaming red. I couldn't see Zacks face because he turned his head away, but I bet he was experiencing the same thing.
At that moment, the door opened and Percy peaked his head in.
"Zack, your mom's here to pick you up."
Zack jumped a bit, then nodded. "Oh, okay." He turned to me. "See you tomorrow Mirra."
Once he left the room, I touched my thumb to my lips, and without realizing it, the corners of my mouth twitched up into a small smile.
Happy Valentine's day! 3. I tried to fit all the request in here. I was surprised when it came out in under 2000 words. Well, please continue leaving request and I'll continue trying to fit them in here. Some request I'm already in the process of writing.
