Hello everyone,

Sorry for the wait for an update. I am trying to finish one of the stories on here. If I don't update this that often that is why.

Thank you for still be interested in this story. I will update this more when I finish the story.

Enjoy.

Chapter Twenty-nine:

After giving them more time alone, they do eventually join them for Lunch. They all enjoy the sound of hearing only their voices.

"Admit it this was a set up." Stacey figures out as she cuddles into Randy for warmth.

"Yes it was. You two looked so sad when you were apart. I can't have my best friends sad; it breaks my heart." She wipes away a fake tear.

"I see so you guys didn't want to embarrass us or stress us out." Randy knows the real reason they set this up.

"No, we would never." They all are appalled that they would think that.

"Do you believe them, baby?" Randy looks towards Stacey.

"No, but we should leave it alone. They had good intentions and it did work." She gets them off the hook.

"It definitely did." They kiss as John and AJ make kissy faces. Jack, being the older brother he is, he pretends to be disgusted. "Our friends." Randy comments when they finish.

"Nope, your brother and sister with my older brother." Stacey corrects. "What are we going to do with that?"

"We should tell their parents. I am going to call mommy dearest first." He looks at AJ.

"Fine, tattle on me it won't give you any redemption points." AJ huffs.

Since she is already on thin ice with AJ, he forgets about that. "Okay, I will call John's mother." He smiles at him.

"Good luck, they are still on their vacation." John smirks.

"That's right." He snaps his fingers.

"Fine, I will call my parents." He dials the number. "Hello mom."

"Hello baby boy, why have you called at this time?"

"I just want to tell you that John and AJ made funny faces at me during Lunch." He tattles like a child.

"Sweetie, they are your brother and sister. Siblings always tease each other. If I get mad at them, I will contradict myself. I don't get mad when you tease them, so I won't get mad at them."

"But mom." He whines about not getting his way.

"Nope, I will see you at home." His mother stands her ground.

"Fine." He hangs up all upset.

"I love you best friend." AJ holds up a peace sign.

"Yah right." He waves it off.

"You know your mom loves me more, right?" AJ titters.

Randy lightly thumps his head as he figures out her plan. "Those are my words that I used before."

"I don't know what you are talking about." She focuses on her food.

"It was the words that I said the first this happened. I took some popcorn and you tattled on me. Your mom told you to share with your older brother. Then I accuse that AJ's mom loves me more." He relieves that moment.

"I don't remember that." She gulps knowing he is right.

"Okay, let's call your mom to find out." He dials the number.

"Randy, is that a cell phone you are using?" Mr. Johnsons accuses as he walks by

"Yes." He answers nervously being busted.

"And what theme is it for Spirit Week?" He crosses his arms.

"No technology." Randy lays his head down.

"And what does that mean?"

"We can't use technology all day. They must be in our lockers. If not, it will be taken away until the end of the day." Randy states.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Mr. Johnsons asks knowing the answer.

"Here you go, Mr. Johnsons." He hands him his phone.

"Come to my class, at the end of the day, to receive your phone back." He pockets the phone before heading to his car to go out for Lunch.

"Oh man." He lays his hands down his face.

"Sorry best friend." AJ apologizes.

"It is okay it is my fault. I tried to get payback and I got caught. However, you know what this means." Randy assures her.

AJ gives him a quizzical until she figures out why. "Oh man."

"What is… oh man." John figures it out too.

"What is it? Someone tells us." Jacks asks. Sometimes their connection irritates him.

"If his parents call and he doesn't pick up, they will call us. They ask us to give the phone to him no matter what. It is a hassle because sometimes they like to block their number so we pick up. They know that we recognize their number so they block it."

"Wow, your parents are persistent. When do they usually call?" Jack wonders.

"During last break or assembly time. I need to have my phone during those times."

"Well, I have a spare with Ms. Silver-"

"I wish I had a spare with Ms. Silver." John mumbles.

"Yes I know, but you promise to behave." She reminds him. "Anyways, I could do something that can distract Mr. Johnsons to get your phone during break. The only think is you have to put it back before school is over for him to hand it back to you." She suggests.

"Anybody else have a plan?" He wonders to have options to choose. No one answers. "Okay, when do we start this plan?"

"Everyone just meet at my locker. I will fetch the phone and meet you all there." AJ orders.

"Great."


It is final break; Randy's parents might be calling at time soon. "Okay, I am going to Ms. Silver to have her distract him.

"What?" John calls out. "Oh no, she is not 'distracting' him." He puts quotations on distracting. He knows what she is planning for her to do.

"Come on man, do you want to deal with my parents?" Randy warns.

"Fine, but no touching from him. She is mine and I don't want anybody to touch her like that." He huffs.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on her." AJ offers.

"Thank you." John calms down.


AJ and Ms. Silver head to the classroom. "Ready." AJ asks. Ms. Silver gives her a thumbs up. "Okay, I will give you a signal when I have it."

"Okay."

"Hello Mr. Johnsons." She sways both her hips when they enter the classroom.

"Hello Ms. Silver, what are you doing here?" He gulps at her beauty. Of course he finds her attractive.

"I just want to drop by to get AJ's topic and test mark. Jack told her to come and see you." She places her hand on his shoulder.

"AJ, it is on my desk." Not looking away from Ms. Silver. "You have permission to find it." He moves closer to Ms. Silver.

"You know you are an attractive man." She sits on a desk. "I can't believe you are not married yet." She flirts as well as keep an eye on AJ for the signal.

"Actually, I am married." He grins.

"Oops, maybe I should stop." She giggles.

"Maybe that is the right thing." He is about to touch her on the sides which makes John call out.

"AJ."

Mr. Johnsons looks towards AJ who has Randy's phone in hand. "AJ, what do you think you are doing?"

"Umm… checking my test mark and topic." She answers innocently.

"And why do you have a cell phone?" She shrugs. "You were trying to get the phone back for Randy, weren't you?"

"Yes Mr. Johnsons." She sulks.

"Well I have to report this to Mr. Michaels. I am sorry, AJ." He sympathizes for her.

"It is okay it is my fault." She hands him back the phone

"Wait, it is not her fault." Jack speaks as he rushes in. "I came up with the plan. Please don't blame her for this." He doesn't want her to leave this school; leave him.

"Stacey, do you feel the same way as your brother?"

"Yes Mr. Johnsons, I don't want my bestie to leave this school. We all will miss her dearly." She pouts.

"Well okay, I won't tell Mr. Michaels." He says seriously.

"Oh that's great." They are both revealed with his decision.

"I just have to say one thing." Stacey and Jack gulp, but nod ready for what is coming next. "How did the plan work for you?"

They both are confuse with the question. "The plan failed, what do you… OMG this was the plan." He looks at AJ who nods. "No way." Jack is shocked thinking he was getting better at reading AJ.

"This is your initiation into our tight group." AJ explains.

"Everyone was in on it." They all nod. "Even you Mr. Johnsons." He can't believe they got him involved as well.

"That is right. I am a neighbor of Randy who lets me join the initiation sometimes. This one was not as bad as John's. You two got off easy. I think AJ is going soft on you, Jack." Mr. Johnsons observes.

"You mean this could be even worse." He doesn't believe that AJ is capable to physically hurt him.

"Oh yah, trust me. AJ can have a scary mind sometimes." He warns. "Since this is done, you four need to head to class. I have another class to teach." He shoos them away.

"Wait, you scared me sweetheart." He walks to AJ. "I thought you would have to leave us." He wraps his arms around her.

This triggers AJ to have her arms around his waist. "I wouldn't jeopardize that. I love being here with my friends and family. Plus, I wouldn't just leave you like that. I would be crying begging to stay if I left you." She expresses.

"That goes double for me." He pecks her. "I will see you after class."

"Yes you will." She pecks him back.

"Another successful initiation." Randy celebrates with a high-five to John.

"Umm… does this count as my initiation too?" Stacey asks hoping it is true.

"Now that is up to Randy." She puts the weight on him.

Randy glares at her. Stacey pouts to persuade him to not have one. "We will see." He wraps his arms around her.

"If there is one, let me know." Mr. Johnsons utters.

"We will consider that." Randy teases.

"Oh come on Randy." He whines. Just like Randy's parents, they all love joining their games.

"Do you always have these little initiations for everyone." Ms. Silver wonders if she gets one or not.

"It is mostly just for Randy and I. I don't know if John participate in our little tradition." Ms. Silver gulps. "So what are we going to do?" She changes the subject.

"How sure are you that is he is not part of that tradition?" She wants to know if she should keep a guard on just in case.

"Don't worry, Ms. Silver. If he does, I will warn you of it." She grins. This doesn't make her any less nervous.
