A (not so) Normal Life of Best Friends

Chapter 52: Plotting Against a Plot

Scout Beckett

Once everyone had gotten the message, I could tell they were heading over here quickly. Evelyn lived just a block away, so he would be here in a snap. Alex was the First to arrive though. She said she was walking when she got the message and took a detour to get here and it must've been a quick one nearby. The others came in groups, Evelyn with Luna and Phoenix and Kyrie with Aeliana. Kyrie seemed to be still half asleep as she looked very tired. "Well, you did send a message when she was taking a nap" explained Phoenix, giggling a bit. I guess that's fair enough, we all have our own time for a nap. But, there's no time for naps now, we had a possibly deadly prank to stop. I explained to them what Thomas and Will were planning on doing at the School Dance. This woke Kyrie up more as she looked upward towards Tim and I. Phoenix had her hands clenched and twitched a little. Luna and Aeliana had a nervous look on their faces. Evelyn was trying not to show the panic written on his face. He was clearly worried about anybody getting hurt or someone getting blamed for doing nothing wrong. It really shows that Evelyn is a Kind Hearted person and his Anxiety doesn't help when he's in an intense situation like this. I knew that there wouldn't be a way to explain what we should do that wouldn't cause a complete panic. But, I had to explain it somehow. I told them that it would probably have to do with spying on what was being decorated where in the gym. We had to split into teams so I pulled out a dry erase board and a marker. Evelyn and Phoenix would be set as another helper as Evelyn wasn't suspicious at all, but Phoenix is a force to be Reckoned with. Meanwhile, Tim and I would watch any Cameras turned on. Kyrie and Alex would spy from outside the gym doors. Finally, Luna and Aeliana would walk in to look around while also trying not to be suspicious. Hopefully, this plan would work, because if it doesn't, it'll be another long meeting to think of another plan. We would have to start by getting Evelyn and Phoenix as helpers to decorate. I'm hoping that'll be easy enough to do. The Schools website said that two helpers were needed to help, I'm just hoping it's not a joke. The others began to race to the School as it was only 11am. They'd have plenty of time to get all the information they could get. As soon as they were there, Evelyn texted me. They were luckily still looking for two more helpers, Evelyn and Phoenix were just in time to get the jobs. I looked at the cameras from the School on the laptop, just as they got in. Luna and Aeliana followed, while Kyrie and Alex hid behind the doors. It was going just as planned, thankfully. Will was hanging up the fireworks on one corner of the wall, very high. "Isn't that a little dangerous?" Evelyn asked, sounding a bit staticky. Will answered him right after, "Maybe, but it'll still look super cool". It's not going to be very cool when you literally kill someone with it. Thomas had Water Balloons and set the box up on the top of the bleachers. I don't know why they would use Water Balloons at a School Dance, but I'm not the one decorating. I know Phoenix doesn't plan on getting any form of liquid dumped in her hair this year. The blue stain is still in her hair to this day. She may have seemed gullible back then, but now you've got to get up pretty early in the morning to fool, Phoenix Amelia Arizona. The coloring is this year's punch is Green and she will not be happy to get more dumped in her hair. Kyrie and Alex were on the same side of the door. Alex could probably boost Kyrie up into the ceiling. I don't know how Kyrie would get back down through the ceiling panel though. Everyone in this plan against the other plan is nervous, because if we mess this up, even once, it's not going to end well.
