"So explain the plan." Brooke said giving a playful but devious grin. "Okay well based on what you told him, we are going to make it look like I died that way, but act like you haven't told anyone." Haven said running her hands through her hair wondering if that was a good plan or not. "Okay Brooke told him you hit your head while surfing." Crystal said filling Haven in. "We can tear up you old board make it look like it went through a lot of ruff waves and put some fake blood on it since Brooke said you bleed to death. "Yeah and we need to do your head make up make it look like a big old rock cut through your head." Brooke said. "Sounds good lets hurry before Mason comes.

"Okay." All five girls called out emptying out the cardboard box full of Halloween makeup and prank stuff along with a few crafting tools. Kara and crystal worked on the board.

While Brooke did havens make up. Christina and Channing put fake washable blood on the wooden floor of Haven's room to make it look like they dragged her from the beach,they both went outside and coated the sand along the way with the fake blood. If only the girls knew what lays ahead of their actions.

Haven's POV:

"Okay I'm done with you make up know put on your swim suits (picture above) ." Brooke said closing the lid of the make up. "Okay I have my swimsuits in the top drawer, you guys get one and jump in the water get your boards ready so it looks like all of us were surfing." I said running to the drawer grabbing a random suit and heading into my bedroom bathroom. I quickly changed into my swimsuit grabbing my clothes and throwing them in the hamper that was in the corner of the bathroom.

I ran out of there, grabbed the board that Kara and Crystal had broken in two and had blood splattered on the front of the board.I stepped out onto the porch that was attached to my room allowing me to have easy access to the beach. I ran quickly along the sand then once i hot to the water i jumped, grateful that Brooke had used waterproof makeup for the big wound on the side of my head. I got out of the water and laid the board down next to the shore. After I did that I shuffled my feet covering my footprints along the way, "Are you guys ready?" I asked as I reentered my room to the girls already dressed in their swimsuits. "hurry jump into the water then come running back." I said rushed dropping to the floor where Channing and Christina had outed the blood I snatched the fake blood, that was laying right next to me laying on the floor. I carelessly poured se on the side of my head to make blood run down. I closed the lid and threw in under my bed.

"Hey we saw him running, Channing is going to bring him over here so he can come from the porch." Kara said bending down next toe on the floor. "Christiana grab all the phones and throw the in the closet so he can't call anyone." I said pointing to my closet. As she did that the three girls had bent down to me and put on fake tears. I had shut my eyes to make it look like I was still breathing but was knocked out.

Channing had brought Mason I'm from the side of the porch. Both running inside. Mason was instantly at Haven's side. "Haven, wake up." Mason said letting tear role down his eyes.As he placed his hand on her cheek. "Mason she's not going to make it" Christina snapped turning her head walking out of the room through the porch heading to the supposal scene where the incident had happened. "have you guys even called an ambulance!!" Mason shouted looking up at the girls revealing his bloodshot eyes "what's the use?" Kara said shrugging wiping her tears. "what are you talking about this is one of your best friends she's dying." Mason yelled disappointed and full of anger. He had pulled out his phone and was about to dial the magic number and call for help. "don't stop no." Brooke said tackling him to the floor making his phone fly across the room. "Get off of me." Mason grunted trying to get her off him without hurting Brooke."its a prank!" Channing yelled "what?" Mason said confused pushing Brooke off of him not forcefully or playfully just like a nudge. "Yeah it's a prank." Haven said sitting up putting her weight against her elbows. Mason didn't say anything he just got up and walked out of the porch door. "Wait!" Haven yelled jogging up to him. Mason continued to ignore her, as Haven constantly called his name and told him to talk to her.

Mason's POV:
"What!!" I yelled turning back to face her. "I wanted to say sorry." Haven said with hurt and regretful eyes. "Yeah that will be a start." I snapped crossing my arms. At this moment I had mixed emotions right now I was relived that Haven was alright, hurt about the prank and how far they went, and lastly angry at myself to be stupid and fall for it.

"It was only meant to be a prank but I guess it went to far." Haven said looking down butting her bottom lip, 'You think, I thought all that was true!! What would have happened if I lost you, huh Haven how do you think I will feel." I shouted at her. I felt horrible for shouting and raising my voice but I couldn't control it my emotions got he best of me. "I
Sorry Mason, I won't do it again, sorry that's all I can say right now." Haven said looking up at my with her dark brown eyes. I turned away and let out a sigh. I rubbed my face with both hands and finally said "No, I'm sorry I overreacted I know it was only a prank, but I just don't know what happened." I let out. "Its okay I would of done the same please forgive us." Haven said still looking me in the eyes. Even with that big fake open wound on the side of her head she still looked beautiful. And really no actual harm was done, there was nothing to forgive. " I forgive you, even though nothing need to be forgiven just a harmless prank." I said explaining my thoughts. "okay good thanks and you didn't overreact I would have done most likely the same thing." She said turning a shade of red. I didn't say anything back I just opened my arms waiting for a hug. She had immediately caught on and walked into my brave she had wrapped her arm around my waist as my arms wrapped her up from her shoulders. "Wanna come hang put with us?" Haven asked looking up at me with her chin rested on my chest against my white tee shirt. "Sure." I said smiling down at her. "Race you!!" she yelled pushing me away and running back to her porch and disappearing inside. I did t even realize what was going on until I saw her disappear. I got up on my feet and started jogging to her room. "help us clean up,liver boy." Crystal teased. I felt the blood run quickly up to my face, I looked down rushed before anyone saw my blushed face. "is Mr. Mason Hunt aka lover boy blushing?" Christina teased as we all kept on packing the mess into the box. "Forget the blush, this boy just got a hug out there." Kara said snickering. Joined by the rest of them except Haven, speaking of her I haven't seen her till she raced me here.

"where's Haven." I said ignoring their comments and looking around the room. "does Lover boy miss his girlfriend all ready?" Brooke teased. "Slim it." I said playfully warning them to stop making fun of me. "Oh are we going to use book slang now?" Channing said referring to when I said slim it. "Yeah why not Your the Shuckiest Shuck faced Shank There Ever Was." I teased back. "okay calm down Mr. Gladder." Haven said walking in the room with paper towels and a cleaner for the fake blood on the ground.

"okay enough of the Maze runner." Christina said shaking her head not understanding anything we just said since she hasn't read any book series including the Maze Runner series. "Okay shall we roll on to the Mortal Instruments than?" Channing said smirking.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Altogether the six of the group of teens cleaned the mess up. Throwing out the useless old board and cleaning Haven's face so that it will be free from makeup and fake blood. The blood on the floor was also gone completely. although it took a while and a whole bunch of cleaner. "What now?" Channing asked from her place on the ground where sage had been sitting. "lets surf." Kara said running out to the beach.

"I'm going to grab the boards from the garage." Haven said leaving the four remaining teens in her room. "Lets go." Christiana said breaking the stares and awkward silence that had been amongst them.
