Same Day, 1 Hour Later...
"No, babe. How would that even work? The only way we'd have a chance at getting them that way is if we knew exactly when they were gonna be there." Shane countered.
"Yeah, that's true, love. It's a good idea in theory, but the execution is what would be the problem." Paige agreed.
Shane sighed.
"I guess you're right. I just remember always seeing those three at the mall whenever I was there. Guess I didn't take time into consideration."
The trio of teenagers were in Paige's room, shooting around ideas on how they were to capture their vengeance. They were all sitting in a little circle on the pullout mattress that Alexa had been sleeping on for the past few days. Price's idea was to just go to the mall and wait for Carmella there, but the girls had brought up the fact that they didn't actually know for a fact if she'd show up on the day they did. Long story short, no one was trying to stand outside of a mall for God knows how long, especially if it turned out to be for no reason.
"It's okay, at least ya came up with something. But, we need a way to know exactly where they're going to be and when they're going to be there." Alexa stated.
"But how though? It's not like we can just call them up and be like, "Hey, bitches! Get your asses to this certain spot at this specific time so we can beat the shit outta you all." Shane said.
Paige gasped.
"You know what, Shane? I think you just gave me the perfect idea."
That confused both Price and Bliss.
"What do you mean? You don't actually have their numbers, do you?" Shane asked perplexed.
"No, man. What I mean is, we can use social media to get our message across. You know, announce that I want to face those bitches. Everyone in school at least has a Snapchat. Hell, even I do, and I don't use the shit." The raven haired girl explained.
"But, I deleted all my accounts after the betrayal stuff happened."
"I know, but that won't be a problem. Because I know someone who's waaay into that social media crap. You know him too."
"I do? Who is it?"
Shane's incompetence on the subject made Paige groan.
"Love? Who's like one of the only people other than me that you considered a true friend after you woke up and realized everyone was just using you?"
"Uh... Zack Ryder?"
"Close, but not who I was thinking of."
"Then who then?"
The pale girl decided to perform a visual demonstration to try and make Shane understand. She got up from the mattress and stood in front of her two guests. Suddenly, a smirk had formed on her face, and her demeanor changed to one of a cocky attitude.
"Ladies and gentleman, allow me to introduce myself, ha ha. I am, the 15 year old piece of gold. The Man of The Hour, Lio Rush."
Shane's eyes lit up, now that he fully understood what Paige was getting at.
"Midnight, that's genius! Lio was like one of the most popular kids in the entire school. He'd definitely be able to get the word out. Almost like a fight promoter or something. But wait... you're willing to ask him for help? I thought you hated Lio. I remember on multiple occasions you saying that he was possibly the most annoying person you'd ever met in your entire life. You once threatened to come to school with duct tape, and wrap it around his face so he couldn't talk."
Paige shrugged.
"Eh, I don't hate him as much anymore. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd still gladly staple his bloody mouth shut if I had the chance. However, I'll give him this. He's a genuine wanker. The whole cocky git persona, isn't a persona at all. It's actually who he is, and I can respect that. Plus, believe or not, he was the one of the guys who helped Ryder kick those cunts out of his party after they ganged up on me. After that night he started to check on me from time to time in school along with Ryder and few other people." She explained.
Alexa was taking in all of this information about Rush.
"Honestly, this Lio Rush guy seems like a real big pain in the ass to be honest. Minus the not betraying Shane and helping you out part." She commented.
Price laughed at his girlfriend's assumption.
"Babe, trust me. Lio's not a big anything. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Seriously, the guy's pretty small. But his mouth more than makes up for it. So, yeah, admittedly he can be a little much at times."
Knight folded her arms and raised her eyebrow at the blonde boy.
"At times?"
"Okay, okay. A lot of the time. Like most of the time actually. But, he's a loyal guy. Like Paige said before, he was one of the only people that stuck with me after I decided to not act like a total fuckhead for approval."
"Also, another person who you didn't think to keep in touch with after you left." Paige pointed out with a knowing smirk on her face.
"I know, I know. I'm an idiot. Leave me alone." Shane said, not really wanting to talk about his lack of foresight when it came to deleting ALL of his social media accounts.
"Don't worry though. I've got his number. Never asked for it, he just gave it to me."
The Price boy laughed at that.
"Let me guess, he walked up to you one day and was like, "You can call the Man of the Hour, anytime."
"Yeah he did. Still can't believe you don't find him annoying." Paige confirmed.
"Hey, he's a funny guy to me. And you like I said before, he's loyal. You and him both stuck up for me a lot."
"Yeah, but the difference between him and me, is that since he's popular, he didn't get as much flack as I did. Even to this day, only I get fucked with out of all the people that stayed actual friends with you."
Shane had a sheepish look on his face.
"Sorry... Sorry about that."
"There's for you to be sorry for. You're not the one making my life a living hell. But anyway, do we all agree with my idea?"
Alexa nodded.
"If he's as useful as you say he is, then definitely contact him." The petite princess said.
"What she said." Shane piggybacked.
"Okay then, it's settled. I'll text him and tell him what's going down." Paige proclaimed.
"Nice! Finally, I get to pay those people back for..."
Shane was then cut off by the sudden sound of his phone ringing. He reached into his sweatpants pocket and pulled it out. (His phone, you perverts. I meant his phone.)
"Oh, sorry. Got a phone call. Who is it? Oh, cool. Dean's tryna facetime me."
He answered the call, and saw the mug of his best friend. It looked like he was laying on a couch... A couch that looked oddly familiar.
"What up, friend? How's it goin'?" Dean asked in his typical laid back demeanor.
"Hey... Dude, are you in my house right now?"
Ambrose burped before answering.
"Yeah dude. I've been here since like, 9 in the morning I think?"
Shane looked at the two girls in front of him. Alexa rolled her eyes, and Paige just looked interested in where this interaction between him and Ambrose was going.
"Ummm... Why? And more importantly, how?" Price asked.
"Cause I felt like it. Your dad said I was welcome anytime remember? I showed up, knocked on the door, and he let me in." The shaggy haired teen explained.
"Okay... I guess that makes sense. Where's my dad now?"
"He's in his room asleep."
"Figures. Well, I'm in Paige's house right now. In her room actually. Alexa's here too."
"Oh cool. That's toward the Paige girl by the way. Ol' Lexi over there? Meh."
"Fuck off, Ambrose." Alexa snapped.
Paige laughed at that.
"Ha good one, mate."
Ambrose's eyes shot open when he heard her voice.
"Yo... Who the hell was that?"
"That was... That was Paige. I literally just told you I was in her house."
"I know, but I've never actually seen her or heard her talk before. All I knew was that you were going to Arizona to help some chick you know get revenge for something. She's British dude! Lemme see her, lemme see her!" He requested excitedly.
The girl he was asking to see was extremely amused and intrigued. Shane shrugged and held the phone up to Paige's face so Dean could get a good look at her. She smirked and waved.
"Hello, love."
"Oh. My. God. Shane? Shane, she's... she's a total hottie!"
Knight appreciated the rather agressive compliment.
"Why thank you. You're not so bad looking yourself." She responded, giggling a little.
Shane facepalmed and chuckled.
"Easy there, Deano. You already have a lady friend of your own. Again, one that you really don't wanna make angry." He reminded his boy.
Now Ambrose started smirking.
"No need to worry about me. I'm no cheater. But, I gotta say. If I wasn't already with the love of my life... Well, let's just say, I would be taking my ass up there as well. Because my God... You are ridiculously attractive."
"Dean? Becky. Seriously, stop it. Becky Lynch. You have Becky Lynch."
"Bruv, calm down. Man's obviously just joking around." Paige said.
"That's the thing, Midnight. With Dean, nothing's ever obvious. He's a very... impulsive person." He explained.
"Ha. Guilty I'm afraid." Dean said, agreeing with Shane's description of how he does things.
"Nothin' wrong with being a little spontaneous. It's exciting."
"Well, I was just checking up on ya, brother. Good luck with your revenge."
"Thanks Dean."
Ambrose hung up, and Shane put his phone back in his pocket.
"I like the bloke. Seems a bit out of his mind, but I like him." Paige said.
"He's a moron." Alexa grumbled.
Shane chuckled.
"Yeah, Alexa and Dean have this never ending rivalry thing going on. I'd like to think it's all love though."
"Pssh. Keep thinking that, Price."
"Yup. It's all love."
Paige softly laughed.
"Your New York friends are something else. Anyway, let me try to get ahold of Lio."
The girl got up, grabbed her celly, and scrolled through her contacts until she got to Rush' s number. She sighed.
"I hope he picks up."
She dialed the number, and waited. Until...
"Ha ha! Man of the Hour speaking! How can I help you?" The little loudmouth answered.
Paige gave the thumbs up to Shane and Alexa.
"Hey, Lio... I kinda need a favor."
AN: Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone. Shout out the greatest Irish person to ever live... Liam Neeson. Also that Finn Balor guy. He's alright too. Peace out yo. See ya in the next chapter.
