[Chapter 9: Damien's Hotline Bling]
After kind of a relatively short week, Friday finally arrived at school. Of course, everyone was eagerly anticipating our weekend release. Angel and I sat in the back and ranted about whatever our inside joke of the week was. Eventually, we both caught attention to something strange. Nugent was whispering to one of the more athletic kids, Damien. Which wouldn't be too odd, if we didn't notice that they eyed us every few seconds. "You see it too right?" Angel asked. I nodded. "They're plotting something...looks like he's turning to a lot of the football team for help now...you know, the big guns...just...keep look out today, alright?" He nodded in agreement. "Yeah alright. I'll do it. We'll just call each other if we spot him or anything." I nodded as well. "Sure thing." As I said that, the bell had finally rung. We were off to our next classes. The rest of the day flew by pretty quick. Last period and only about 40 minutes to go until we were off for the weekend. I was determined to get through the rest of the day, so I simply asked my teacher if I could go to the bathroom. He was pretty laid back, so he just let me go ahead. I really just went because more than anything, I wanted to waste the day away in there. So I took my sweet time walking there and made sure I went to the farthest bathroom I could go to. When I walked in, of course, waiting for me was Damien. It was odd though. It was as if he wasn't even waiting for me at all. I found it odd, however, because after I finished up my business he was still there in the bathroom. And finally, as I began to wash my hands, he struck. All I could remember was him yelling "HOTLINE BLING!" And bam. I was trapped in an unfamiliar setting. "DAMMIT!" I screamed. It was insanely dark in the area I had been transported in. I tried to feel my way around but it seemed close to impossible.
"Heh heh...boyyyyy, you sure are stupid. How the hell you gonna walk in here and expect me not to do anything? Outta here. Anyway, My stand Hotline Bling allows me to put somebody in a small space without suffocating them. But it could be anything within about...I dunno, 10 feet? So guess where I put ya." I sighed. "I don't wanna."
All of the sudden, a large current of air flowed through where I was. "HA HA! I PUT YOU INSIDE OF THE HAND DRIER! NOT TOO FUN IS IT?!" I called out Puddle Of Mudd to help protect me from the powerful air current. "I-I guess you could say it's..." The current was too powerful in the end and I flew right off my feet. "BLOWING ME AWAY!" In a flash, I was in another space. Except this time I knew what it was. I was in one of the nasty sinks that the school never cleans. My theory was confirmed by the sudden running water flowing through. I was confused as to why Damien started the water. He began to stuff up the drain with towels however, and he shoved anything else that fit into the drain down into it. It took me a bit to realize but I was actually inside of the drain. "He's gonna try to drown me..." I thought to myself. Damien laughed maniacally. "GOOD LUCK GETTIN' OUTTA THIS ONE! HA HAAAA! Class is almost over. Ima just sit here and wait the rest of it out. I heard him unlock his phone and he continued to laugh. I didn't have much to do for awhile so I just sat down in any solid place I could find.
After a good 10 minutes had passed, it was finally time for me to execute my plan. The water was high enough for me to utilize it. Puddle of Mudd quickly liquified my body and I swam right up the pipes. Damien headed over o the drain. "You alive still?" He waited for an answer and shrugged. "Guess I gotcha." He began to walk out of the bathroom until he was stopped by a loud bang. He quickly turned around. I had escaped into the pipes to one of the toilets and had emerged from the stall. I was soaking wet though. "H-HOW DID YOU-" I cut him off. "Courtesy of my stand. PUDDLE OF MUDD! GOOOOOO!" I directed all of the water that had clogged up into the drain into a powerful burst that struck Damien with enough force to knock him out. I slammed him directly into the wall and a crack had spawned in the place he slammed into. And just like that, Damien had been defeated. I took out my notebook that I conveniently had and put "Retired" next to Damien's name. At last, I finally headed back to class. "Why do people always challenge me near water..." I asked myself. The rest of the day was only minutes away from ending.
