Secrets-ON HOLD

The Meeting

The cafeteria was in chaos during lunch. Food everywhere, drinks spilled, and people shouting or laughing. I walked down the aisle, watching people scramble to get out of the way. I felt the left side of my lips lift to give everyone a small smirk. I made my way to the back and sat down next to Sugar and across from the twins.

"So, Sugar, got your phone taken away?" I asked, taking notice of her frown. She scoffed and turned her head away while her brothers laughed at her. I patted her shoulder and told her I would get it back.

"We have more important things to do though." I informed the group. I stood up and everyone followed. Making my way towards the doors, I saw Aubrey staring at me, well, more like glared. I narrowed my eyes and continued walking, letting her know that I didn't give a rat's crap about her. Entering the hallway, we stopped in front of a small door at the end of the hall. Using the key around my neck, I unlocked it and let everyone in before locking the door behind me.

This was our school den. There was a couch, fridge, blackboard, and a small desk in the corner. George and Lance crashed on the couch while I went to the desk and sat down with Sugar once again perched on the armrest.

"So I called the lady last night. It's a yes." Lance grunted from the couch. Sugar yelped with happiness and I beamed at everyone.

"Great. We need to finalize paperwork and start fixing the office up." George said. He was the most handy with his hands and no don't would be in charge of the renovation. I zoned out as George went on and on about different changes he would make to the house.

"Let's have cool secret rooms and stuff!" he exclaimed, eyes bright with excitement.

I nodded, not really paying attention, and finally remembered why I dragged them here to the rec room in the first place. I slid out a manilla folder with Lucy Carillo's name printed neatly on top. The chatter in the room slowly dwindled down and I looked up to see everyone staring at the folder in my hands in apprehension. The room stood still as I slowly slid the contents of the folder onto the table with the redhead Lucy herself in the center.

"Shall we get to work?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside the envelope was everything we needed to bring down someone's life. Pictures, secret letters, and schedules that people thought that no one else would ever know.

"So what're we going to do this time? Classy or something different?" Sugar asked, shifting through the papers. George and Lance stood up abruptly. We all knew this was coming. George and Lance mainly did the heavy lifting and contacting informants while Sugar and I led things from behind the scenes.

George ran a hand through his blonde hair, "Well, we'll leave the mastermind planning to you two. Lance and I are going to get food." Lance nodded and they started towards the door together, bodies moving in sync.

Sugar, still looking through papers, without a beat called out, "No girls in the rec room." The unison groan from her brothers just confirmed her idea.

"Stop being such babies." Sugar called out with her brothers halfway out the door. Once we heard the door click shut, Sugar turned towards me and rolled her eyes. I giggled and turned back to the papers on the table.

"Let's go classy." I said, answering Sugar's question, Sugar looked up and nodded. I walked over to the blackboard and pinned Lucy's face on the top.

"Information?" I called out, chalk ready in hand. I scribbled down everything Sugar threw at me, writing until I got a cramp.

Standing back to admire my work, I placed a sooty hand on my chin, sure that there would be a mark.

"Well, this girl seriously got some shit on her." Sugar drawled, squinting at the board in concentration.
