Promises and Pranks

"Hey, what's up?" I asked Adam while walking into his dorm. It was empty due to the fact everyone was at lunch. Adam asked me to meet him during lunch, but didn't tell me why. "Oh, hey. I wanna talk." He sighed as sat next to him on his bed. "That's never good is it. We're not even together right now, how do you already wanna break up? Am I that bad?" I joked making him laugh. "I mean..." He shrugged jokingly.

"Hey!" I smacked his arm and he rubbed it while shaking his head. "I wanna talk about us." He looked at me as I let out a small: "Oh."

"Are situationship?" I raised my eyebrows and he nodded with a laugh at the name. "Well what about it?" I questioned scared of the fact I might loose him. Again.

I know he broke up with me, but I think it was better for him to do so. We both needed something new for awhile, that lead us to realize
something new wasn't good enough. It wasn't us.

Adam was the first person, besides the team, that ever meant something to me. My family doesn't give a shit about me, Adam and the team actually do. They're the only people I've got.

"Well we've been hanging out for awhile and I think we should try again. It was stupid for me to break up with you, I'll never stop saying that. I'd like to try again. I'll be better. I promise, for real this time. I won't ever leave."

I thought back to the time he promise he'd never leave me, for the first time. We were sitting on my bed, ten years old. Stupid, I know. Guess that's why that promise never worked out.

But here we are now, thirteen, more mature, making the same promise. Maybe it'll work out this time.

"So, what do ya think?" He asked grabbing my hand. I smiled and leaned over to kiss him. He put his hand on my cheek and rubbed his thumb back and forth. "Does that answer your question?" I smiled while his cheeks turned a shade of pink. "No, you might have to do it again."

"I don't think so, Banks." I laughed while standing up. "Where are you going?" He pouted while I walked towards the door. "Meeting with Aspen and Julie. See you at the dinner later?" I said remembering everyone was meeting up for dinner as a team with Bombay and Miss Mackay. "Yeah. See ya." He waved before I walked out of the room.

"Hey, guys." I smiled sitting next to Julie and Aspen in the lounge for all the teams.

"Hey."

"Sup."

Connie was on a date with Guy, so it was just the three of us. Aspen wanted to do some type of prank on Emily, and Connie, being the mom friend, said as much as she'd love to she didn't want to get in any trouble. I know she would but she's not too fond of getting into any trouble at a place like this.

"Let's rock this bitch." Aspen smirked jumping off the couch. "Oh God." I sighed while we followed her. No one was around because around this time people are usually at practice, or sightseeing, stuff like that. "Do we even have a plan?" Julie asked, raising a brow. "It's Aspen, of course we have a plan." I shook my head while Julie laughed.

"Alright, so." Aspen started to explain her so called 'exposing Emily plan'. It wasn't that bad of an idea if I'm honest. She wants us to make a fake book of plays, have us put it out somewhere, and Aspen thinks she'll take it to the Iceland Coach.

"Boom! That's how we prove it." Aspen clapped her hands together before handing me a blank book. "I mean, the Iceland game is tomorrow. So if they're looking for a way to win that'd be a good opportunity to get ahead." Julie nodded while we sat in the corner of the lounge on the floor.

"Scarlett, take this book, and write a whole bunch of random plays in it. Make it look like coach's play book. Julie, since Emily hates you least and loves gossip, you're gonna go up into the room and tell her you heard that coach gave Scarlett his play book to go over before the Iceland game. Scarlett is gonna leave the book in the lounge while you walk Emily down. Then, me and Scarlett are gonna walk in and say we need you for something, leaving Emily alone with the book. We'll leave her for about five minutes, we go back, if the books not there then we know who took it."

"Alright. Give me that book." I sighed opening up a marker. I drew a whole bunch of completely random plays and Aspen helped while Julie went to get Emily. "That should be good." Aspen sighed grabbing the book out of my hand. She put the book on one of the couches and we ran down a hallway. "Are we sure this is gonna work?" I started to rethink the whole idea. "Yes, just shut up. Look! It's them." She pointed while we ducked behind a wall.

"Wait- coach just gave her the book?" We heard Emily ask in shock. Aspen smiled excitedly at me and we tired to listen better. "Yeah, she was showing it to me earlier. She left in the lounge, just laying there. Can you believe that?" Julie acted surprised while they walked into the lounge. We started slowly walking up to the lounge and acted like we just got there.

"Hey Julie." Aspen smiled and Emily rolled her eyes. "We need your help." I said and she nodded telling Emily she'd be back as soon as possible. "Take you're time." Emily fake smiled making her way towards the book. Aspen pulled us out of the lounge and we hid behind a wall near the entrance.

"No way." Emily mumbled to herself while flipping through the books pages. She looked around before slipping the book into her book bag and started to walk out.

I grabbed Aspen and Julie's hands and ran the opposite direction. "Holy shit!" Aspen whisper-yelled over and over again while we ran. "We gotta follow her." Julie said peaking her head out from behind the wall to watch Emily walk towards the elevators. "Come on, let's take the stairs." Aspen waved us over and we ran a flight down to the Iceland floor.

"What if she's just going to give the book back to coach?" I asked and Aspen and Julie turned to stare at me like I was crazy. "Shut up. Here she is." Aspen pointed to the girl while we watched Emily get off on the Iceland floor.

"What the hell?" Julie muttered while we watched her knock on some random dorm.

"Look what I got." She smirked holding up the book. "Holy shit, get inside. We gotta call coach." The person inside the room let her in and looked around before shutting the door.

"What the actual-"

"-Fuck."

"-Hell."
