The Mummy Maker

Chapter 19

"Wait today if your birthday?" Raven blurted out. I hummed in agreement. "Why did I not know this?"
"you've been friend for just over an hour Raven." Diesel grumbled. Raven tsked at her brother ignoring him while turning to me.

"I don't have a present for you."

"You were my first friend that's present enough." I smiled. She awed me and gave me a hug. "Oh, I have money and a gift card would you like to go to town? Ampute will be there we can speak with her. Raven nodded her head

"Yeh we can go after school! I've never been to the city before!" I chuckled at her. There was a rustling behind us, turning round I saw a handsome man walking towards us. He was 1 or 2 years older than Enzo. He had muscles but wasn't a body builder. He had scruffy black hair that wasn't short but not hugely long either.

"Ahh Jacob! Nice of you to join us." Adam spoke. "This is my younger brother." Jaco rolled his eyes. "This is Arabella she is knew to town and the group so be nice." We locked eyes. I felt my checks heat up and he looked in shock. It was the boy I ran into yesterday.

No one noticed our shift in mood. "Hey about..." he began but Raven cut him off standing up.

"Come on or we will be late for drama." She helped me up as Diesel also stood.

"Wait how did you know I had drama?" she snorted

"I looked at you schedule. You have it with me and Diesel." I nodded and we began walking away. I turned locking eyes with Jacob again.

"Bye everyone, It was lovely meeting you all."

"Bye-bye dear be good." Adam shouted. The kids shouted goodbye, and I turned back following the twins out of the forest and away from the embarrassment that is my life. We stepped into the school and I followed them in silence to Drama and sat beside them .

"Okay class we will be working in groups of six."

"Awe no who we going to pick?" Raven whined.

"Oi bitch boy, come 'ere" It was chuck, glaring I grabbed Jo's hand as he slowly slunk his way up and pulled him down.

"Nope not happening, I have our sixth." Jo sighed and smiled at me while Raven clapped her hands together.

"Perfect!" Raven cheer as Romeo and Calypso came over and sat with us.

"Of course, the freaks would pick each other." Tiffany giggled the four groupies hissed at them making me laugh.

"Why do you always do that?" I asked the group.

"Well, if they want to treat us like freaks then we shall acted like it." Calypso said with a thick Jamaican accent "Plus it is funny when they back down, no?" I giggled at her statement. She was not wrong it was funny to watch them crap themselves every time.

"So what will our play be about?" Romeo asked.

"The gays." Jo stated confidently. "It'll piss the teacher off the most." Smirking we all made an agreement. To state the teacher was pissed off by the end of the class was an understatement. I'm positive if he child he would send us the headteacher but not only was the head teacher Romeos farther but was also of the LGBTQ community.

When the bell rang, I left the class with my newfound friends and went to find my brother, much to everyone's shock was an athlete. "Hey sis, I'm going to be at football practice." I nodded and gave him a hug

"I am going into the city with Raven, okay?" he looked at raven and then back down nodded.

"Be safe." I nodded and waved good by turning back to my friends.

"Ready to go raven?" she nodded

"Born ready!" we walked outside, and the others walked into the woods to meat the rest of the group. Hopping on the bike I gave raven my other helmet before strapping my own. Ice she was sat comfortably behind me, and arm securely wrapped around I began to drive off.

It had taken an hour to reach the city, the first place we stopped was the bar Ampute owned, there were a few gasps and hugs and "where the hell have you been" we walked all the way to the back, and I swiftly covered her eyes with my hands placing on a deep voice I had done many times before.

"Guess who." She let out a soft gasp

"My, my as I live and breathe. Little chimer come 'ere and let me look at ya." I uncovered her eyes and walked Infront of her. She smiled lightly, she looked over at raven. "And who's the little spitfire with you?"

"This is Raven she is my best friend and is looking to join... there are a few other who might too but there not here." She looked between us and nodded.

"Next time I am in town anyone who wants to join can, for now little lady you'll need to do the ritual to join." Tigerlily came over waving at me before taking raven hand and pulling her alone. I watched them chat as they walked away.

I sat beside Ampute as the light dimmed the music came on and Raven walked on stage in a corset and underwear doing the traditional dance all men and women must do. When it was done. She was officiated and given the hells angels jacket. After a few emotional goodbye to the group me and raven headed out of the bar and back into he world.

"We need to get your hair done, I'm designing it." I smiled and nodded to raven who squealed a little bit before grabbing my hand and pulling me over to my bike.
