Kim
We stared wildly at each other, and then at the clock. 4:15.
"Five hours and fifteen minutes. I say we don't let the boys know, and then kill time until we have to go," Macy declared.
Simultaneously, we all nodded. The minute we walked out the girl's locker room, we would act normal.
Which would work well for Jemma and Macy, and maybe even Melody.
But definitely not me.
"What are we doing for practice?" Macy asked sweetly.
"Um..." Rudy stared. Macy wasn't one to ask about practice.
"Macy, did you have too much sugar? Cause it seems like you're still in practice mode for your next movie," I stepped in quickly, the lie coming smoothly out of my mouth.
"I think she has a fever!" Melody exclaimed dramatically, making us all laugh as she put her hand over Macy's forehead.
"What's your next movie?" Eddie asked.
"I can't tell you," Macy smiled sweetly.
"Why not?" Eddie pouted.
"Because an actress needs to keep acting jobs a secret until the movie releases the names," Jemma rolled her eyes teasingly, as if to say, "Duh... all actors and actresses know this!"
"Let's get started with practice," Rudy interrupted, all too willing to end this conversation before Eddie tries to persuade Jemma to tell.
"Good job guys!" Rudy yelled as Jemma and Macy hurriedly walked into the girl's locker room.
"Hey, Kim," Jack called. "What's up with the girls?"
I stopped nervously. The more time I spent talking to him, the more likely I was going to blurt out something.
"N-Nothing's wrong, Jack," I protested weakly, quickening my pace. Jack grabbed my wrist. My face flushed.
"C'mon Kim, tell me," Jack pleaded.
"N-No, I can't," I shook my head, trying to pull my wrist away, but Jack held on tighter.
"Seriously Kim, I'm your friend. Macy's friend. Jemma's friend. Melody's cousin. You can tell me," Jack told me reassuringly.
I scoffed. "Yes, we're friends. But you and your stupid hero complex will definitely get in the way of our plans," I retorted, my anger rising.
"What plans?" Jack's voice hardened.
"Plans to go get some rest and relaxation away from the boys who are giving us headaches, that's what," Melody snapped as she came to rescue me.
"Then why did you mention me having a 'hero complex?'" Jack pestered, putting air quotation marks around the words "hero complex."
"Because you're overprotective," Jemma told him. "Jack, please let it go," she cooed, putting on an innocent face.
Jack's face smoothed out, while my eyebrows furrowed in jealousy. "Alright," Jack smiled.
"You freaky demon," I hissed under my breath.
Jemma's hard face snapped to stare at mine. Then she shook her head apologetically, as to say, "It was necessary."
We killed the time by doing homework, helping Macy and Jemma in their roles. Jemma's playing a girl who can become invisible and levitate, in the action movie "The Six." Macy's playing the lead, a teenage girl who moves to a town in the middle of the forest in the drama "Hidden Star."
"Say it again," Melody urged.
"I've been his girlfriend for all of two minutes, and he's already driving me insane," Macy rolled her eyes and ran a hand through her hair.
"Really believable this time," Melody decided.
"Yup," I added.
"Definite. The first time wasn't as humorous and sarcastic as this time," Jemma commented.
"Jemma's turn!" Macy ordered.
"I got this down pat," Jemma bragged. Then, taking a deep breath, she started. "A few minutes? We're in freaking Nevada, and going to an island off the map, and it's going to take a few minutes?" She freaked in disbelief.
"Wow that's good," Melody stared in shock.
"Guy's, it's already 9. We'd better go," Jemma said, her calm look giving way to her panicked face.
"I see you came," a voice called out from the shadows.
"And what do you want with us?" Melody taunted coldly.
"Nothing hard, girls," the voice continued as the man came into the light.
"Mr. Horn," I breathed.
"Hello Miss Kimberly," Mr. Horn sneered.
"How can we help you?" Jemma asked formally, but her voice was still icy.
"Easy. First, I am entrusting you with the flag of Seaford. The... impostors will not expect you to take care of it. Secondly... weaken Seaford High. I know Kimberly will be at the Seaford Pearl Pageant, but Jemma and Macy... you are unoccupied... at the moment. And Melody... you are the cousin of a certain impostor, so you must know what goes on in his head."
"And if we refuse?" I asked calmly, my insides trembling.
"Then Macy and Jemma suffer the price."
Suddenly, without a scuffle, Macy's and Jemma's pale faces were far from my side, held back by a knife to the throat. I know, cliche.
Then I recognized the coloring on the sleeve-covered arms.
I whirled to face Mr. Horn.
"You're in league with the Black Dragons?" I spat out.
"Join the Black Dragons, forsake your friendship with the Bobby Wasabi Dojo, and we won't harm you. In addition, you'll all have spectacular boyfriends who are kind and loyal by nature," Mr. Horn tempted.
I glanced at Macy and Jemma.
Judging by their expression, they knew my answer.
And they were resigned.
"Deal." I gritted out.
This went way off course of what I was planning, but hey, I like it.
Thanks to Dog Lover234 for giving me inspiration. It wasn't EXACTLY what you asked for, but it helped me anyway.
Sorry for not updating for so long. I was sick. Still sick, actually, but I'm better than I was last few days.
