"You think they lied to you?" Ebony asked as she and Aubrey walked into their face side by side. "That's a bit messed up."

"Don't worry, I've seen the stupid wheel that Tobs made, its this punishment thing that a player has to spin when they do something wrong. I don't know what Josh and Bailey did, but one of the options was to call someone to say that you're injured. To be fair they were probably just late." Aubrey explained, she should have suspected it straight away, but it wouldn't be anyone's first thought if someone they they cared about got hurt.

"So who're you going to to bully for it. Josh and Baz or Toby?" Ebony asked, she was just as invested in this as Aubrey obviously was.

"I don't know, I was thinking of getting Laura in on something for Toby and then I'll just tell Josh that I rethought this whole moving in thing. Bailey will just get the silent treatment or something." Aubrey explained.

"What is Laura going to help you with, will she be on your side or will she say that it's just the way things are?" Ebony asked and watched confused as Aubrey held up a single finger and pulled out her phone. "You calling her?"

"Yep." Aubrey confirmed and pressed Laura's profile, she picked up on the first ring. "Hey girl." She put the phone on speaker so that Ebony could hear the conversation as well.

"Hey Aubs, what's up?" Laura asked, she sounded pretty tired and Aubrey realised that she could have potentially have woken her up.

"Sorry if I interrupted your sleep, is Toby around?" Aubrey asked.

"Don't worry about it, it was time to get up anyway I was just ignoring my alarm. He went into the club, do you need me to tell him something?"

"Definitely not, he made Bailey and Josh call me and tell me that Josh was injured and I'm sure it was because of the damn wheel because Josh was fine when he got home and he said that it he possibly didn't even hurt himself." Aubrey explained.

"He's so annoying sometimes, so you want my help getting some sort of revenge?" Laura asked, Aubrey grinned at how eager she already sounded.

"If you don't mind." Aubrey confirmed. "Do you have any ideas by the way?"

"You could say that I cheated or something, it'll scare him just enough before he realised that you caught on to the whole thing." Laura suggested.

"With no proof?" Ebony questioned.

"Don't worry, he'll get a scare and panic for a few minutes and it'll be worth it." Aubrey said. "If he rings you can you sound guilty or something?"

"You know me, I'll act like I don't want to talk about it. Will you go into the club?" Laura asked.

"Yeah, how did he get there this morning?" Aubrey questioned, a plan starting to form in her mind.

"He went with Jongy, I can say that I'm around the oval and that I'll go pick him up. You can get there before me and tell him." Laura said.

"Yes, I'll leave as quickly as I can after school. Thanks Laura, love you."

"Love you too, go teach those kids how to be childish."

Aubrey pulled into the club smiling as she thought about the plan, but quickly put on a sad face as she approached reception.

"Hey Sam." Aubrey greeted the lady at the desk. "Do you think I'd be able to go and talk to Tobes, it's pretty important."

"Yeah of course, is everything okay?" The young girl asked, looking extremely concerned. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
