A (not so) Normal Life of Best Friends

Chapter 51: Three Down, Two to Go

Scout Beckett

Tim finally explained to me about the whole team's plan. By "team's plan" he meant Thomas and Will's plan to drive us completely insane. I've started to piece something together. Each of us is connected by one another. Evelyn and Luna, Kyrie and Thomas, Me and Tim, Alex and Will, and Phoenix and Aeliana. Only three of their team don't have any sinister intentions, including Tim himself. Thomas and Will hold grudges mainly against Kyrie and Alex, even though they did nothing wrong. Kyrie is a very artistic person and Alex made one simple mistake, but they were looked down by two people anyway. It didn't seem to have anything to do with Phoenix, because they didn't seem bothered by Kyrie and Phoenix kissing. I think it was more likely they stayed away when Phoenix was around as she intimidated them. Each of us has our own quirks. I'm Smart, Alex is Kind, Evelyn is a Great Leader, Kyrie is Hardworking, and Phoenix is Strong. When I say Strong, I mean she works out. But, besides strength, she does have the power to intimidate a lot of people. She's gone from a lonely and scared girl to a strong and brave individual. Then, it all comes down to the two we have left to worry about, Thomas and Will. Their plan is to set off the biggest prank in High School Dance History. It includes Water Balloons, the punch bowl, a lot of other things that seem weird to add into a dance prank and- "FIREWORKS?!" I yelled, shocked that they'd think to use that. "Yup" answered Tim. Fireworks can turn lethal in an instant. You can go blind or deaf and other worse things. Tim patted my shoulder, causing me to look up to him. "Hey, it's gonna be okay, remember, you got me just in case" he told me. This was the most kind-hearted I'd ever seen Tim. He's usually one who wants to kick your ass every second of the Day and make it a living Hell. But, now he seemed to actually care for people's safety, including mine. "Thanks Tim" I said to him. He smiled back at me. Now, we had to think of a way to stop the Last School Dance of the Year from going completely haywire. Tim and I are the smartest of our groups and even we didn't have a plan to stop this overzealous prank. We could spy to see what they're doing in the school, since they were chosen to decorate for the dance. But, then they would get suspicious and know immediately what was going on. There had to be an easier way to think of a solution we don't have in our heads at this very moment. But, what could it be? We know that the prank could either be at our entire group, the whole school, or just Kyrie and Alex. Either way, we can't let this happen. Spying is really the only plan we could think of that would have the most effect on intel we would be able to find. I found a way to look into the School Cameras and see what they were doing. Thomas looked into the camera and in no time at all, it turned to static. He had either smashed it, ripped it out, or jammed the signal or turned it off so we wouldn't be able to see what was going on. That meant we would most likely have to get up close and personal to where people would mostly be dancing, the gym. This probably calls for a meeting of teams, minus the two plotting the whole prank. We texted the other Seven and walked and sat on the Porch Swing out front. Evelyn and Me both had one, it was comfortable if you needed a nap. I was still worried about how the others would react to finding this out. Evelyn has been through a lot in this whole crazy adventure. I don't want to tell everyone something to scare someone into not going to a dance and having the time of their lives. Phoenix is probably gonna be more pissed off than she has ever been in any situation. But, it's like Tim told me, He'll be there, We'll be there. All of us have to stick together to stop them. We can't back down.
