What do I do?

Chapter 5

The first step to my ingenious plan would be to find out the bullies besides Gavin's names. Previously, I had called them goon #1, goon #2, etc, or idiot #1 and idiot #2, etc, But now there was a reason to learn their names. I'm beginning to think that I'm like those fighter spy people in those Hollywood movies, but I have no experience and I'm only doing this because, well, my brain is small.

And at that moment, in perfect timing, Gavin and his goons started to walk up to me. "Sup," I said, as a cool kid would say. Or at least I think that's what a cool kid would say. I don't usually say that. Anyway back to the point. Gavin was looking at me weirdly. I wonder why? Oh, wait it's because I said sup. I knew that. I was only pretending to be stupid so you could all laugh at my stupidity. Totally.

Anyway. "Why did you say sup?" Gavin asked.

"Because I'm... uh... Cool now. Yeah," I said. REAL SMOOTH AIDEN.

Gavin looked at me weirdly again. Is that something he always does and I just haven't noticed?

Gavin replied, "Uhhhh, what? You can't just be cool my guy. I'm cool because I'm funny, smart," yeah right "have people skills, and have good looks." I was so close to rolling my eyes.

"Yeah well, I can bul-I mean have people skills too!" I replied.

"Wha... What? Since when did you like to bully people? I thought you were one of the tattle tail good boys and stuff like that? What... I'm soo lost right now." Aren't you always? He looked at his goons stupidly.

I said something really intelligent like, "Y-yeah...uh...I...I changed?"

"Is it just me or is this guy suspicious," Gavin said to his goons.

Goon #1 and 2 said, "No it's fine. I think he would make a good addition!" Now it was my turn to look at them weirdly. I mean I know that they are stupid. But seriously? Are you so stupid that you listen to my blatant lie? They looked at me with a look of...was that...understanding? I looked at goon #3 and 4. They also had the same look. But when Gavin looked at them they changed their expressions to the normal mean mask that they always wear. I'm confused.

"Whatever you say. I mean, seeing as I'm the smartest here I should probably be the one deciding, but whatever," Gavin's voice jerked me out of my thoughts. I almost retorted, but I knew that would not be good for my ingenious plan. So instead, I just nodded, playing along.

Gavin smiled. It was kinda creepy actually. "Welcome to the team man." He walked off. He then walked back which completely ruined his cool kid thing. "Oh, and in case your not one of us, and your trying to make me look dumb," you don't need me "then your gonna regret it."

I nodded vigorously. When they were out of site I smiled. Phase one of mission do-cool-spy-stuff-and-find-out-who-killed-friend is complete.
