⚠ANOTHER SHORT CHAPTER!!!!⚠

I promise the others will be longer!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Alex-

"So...what's the plan?" Me and Flynn are sitting on her front porch. We both have a pen and a notebook. Basically what we are trying to do is find a way to bring everyone's memory back. "I honestly don't know." She responds.

We sit there for about ten minutes, thinking of every possible idea- well maybe not. OKAY FINE! Her mom made some gnarly cookies and we just gossiped about all the drama happening in our school. "Um Flynn, we should get back to the plan." I giggle out. "Oh shoot! Ya for sure." She responds back with a chuckle.

As we pull our notebooks back out, a crazy man comes running up to her house. I don't recognize him at first but as he gets closer it's the one and only Lucas P.

"What are you doing here!" Flynn yelled at the boy. "I need help!" Luke said, breathing heavily from running. "With what?" I say reaching for another cookie. "You know" He huffs. I look at Flynn blankly. "OHHHHH" We both say at the same time. 

"I getcha now." Flynn nodded. "O-kay? Anyways what are you doing?" Luke points at the notebook, cookies, and pens. "Having a girly sesh."Flynn says setting her notebook down. "YEAH! Flynn painted my nails!" I say holding up my bright pink nails. 

"Wowza, that's cool Alex." Luke says as he lifts my hand to inspect them. "Why didn't we think of this in the 90s?" He chuckles. 

Flynn's mom offers us to come inside to get some air conditioning since it was literally burning outside. "So?" Luke goes over and sits on a couch in the living room. We start to put together a plan.

"Lemme get this straight so I know what we are doin." I say dropping my pen on the notebook. Luke and Flynn look up from their writing. "So, Carrie first." They nod. "Then Nick?" They nod again. "Okay then finally Reggie?" They both nod again. 

"So after they all come to their senses, that's when we talk to the principle and arrange an assembly to make Julie come back?" Luke asks. This time, me and Flynn nod. "Alright! Sounds like a plan!" Flynn says closing her journal. 

Flynn's mom says we are welcomed to stay the night, so obviously we do. Since I'm gay y'know she doesn't care but with Luke she knows literally everything. About Julie, about the ghost band, and literally everything. I am surprised Flynn spills everything to her mom. I wish I could've done that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I think Rose is trying to tell me something." Luke mutters. Flynn perks up. "Huh? How?" He pulls out his journal and flips to a page full of Dahlias. I look at the date, and a little note on the corner that keeps disappearing. "Woah..." Flynn whispers. "I don't know what's going on! I mean it says. '-R'!! Who else would that be?!?!" Luke whisper screams in frustration. 

"I'm surprised Rose knows what's going on between you and Jules." I say. Luke turns his head and looks at me with literal blackness in his eyes. "I only get to call her that." He says harshly. "Julie let's me call her that." Flynn chuckles. "Pshht" Luke says while swatting his arm towards her. 

After a bit, we decide to head to bed. 

*ThE nExTttT moRninGGGg*

"Hey! Where's Luke?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Julie-

LUKE 
WHAT 
HUH!!!
I NEVER WROTE THIS!!!

I run to my closet and chuck the paper in there. I am so sick of this. I bet it's Flynn trying to prove her point with that stupid ghost thing. 

A few hours passed when I heard a knock on my door. I walk over and open it. "Hey." Reggie says standing there like a dork. "Hey buddy!" I say giving him a peck on the cheek "What's up?" I say letting him in. "I don't like being alone." He says in a shaky voice. "What do you mean?" 

"I think Alex and Luke went somewhere but I don't know exactly where." He exaggerates his hand gestures. "It's okay Reg, you can stay here tonight. His face lights up and runs over to my bed. "How did you get in my house anyways?" I ask with a giggle. "I payed your brother $5" Reggie says laughing. 

A silence passes by. 

"Does the year '1995' ever pass your mind?" Reggie asks stroking my hair. "I don't think so? Why?" I ask taking his hands off my hair and interlocking them with mine. "I don't know. I found and old journal." He sighs. 

The morning comes up, with a ray of sunshine glimmering on our bodies. I look up at Reggie, his hands wrapped around me and his messy hair. I wish it was Luk- NO I DON'T AHHAHAAHAHAHAH

I'm okay

I'm lying 

right?

RIGHT!!??

Just then, I hear another knock on my door. "I'm awake papi!" I yell at the door. It opens, revealing the boy I never thought I would see for the next few days. "Hey Julie, can we ta-" He looks over at Reggie's arms, wrapped around me. 

"I- I'm sorry. I'll leave now." He sighs and walks out. The boy was none other than Luke Patterson.

"WAIT!" I hear a voice say behind me. "Reggie? What?" Luke pops in again. "Where were you and Alex?" Reggie asks sternly. "Flynn's." He mutters and leaves the room. 

HE WAS WITH FLYNN!?!?!? AFTER ALL THIS TIME, MY BEST FRIEND DOES THIS TO M-

"Oh and don't worry, it was for school." Luke yells from downstairs. "HAVE FUN SWALLOING EACH OTHER!" He adds. I roll my eyes and look up at Reggie. "What?" He giggles. "I don't know, you are just perfect." I say smiling. 

I realize I am just trying to convince myself that I like Reggie...which I do but not as much as...

"LUKE!" I hear someone scream. After that, I heard a thud.

Silence fills the streets.
