A (not so) Normal Life of Best Friends

Chapter 53: Blending In to Play the Part

Phoenix Arizona

This is nerve wracking and that says something, because I'm never usually this nervous about something. I'm used to baggy clothes, but now it's just a regular shirt. I usually try not to show any muscle to make it seem like I don't work out in the slightest. That is till someone gets punched and feels the literal strength in my arm and sees the trick up my sleeve, pun intended. It's not surprising to me that I'm getting weird looks from those two dipshits plotting a complete disaster. They gave me heavy objects that feel super light, as in, they struggle and I don't. I helped Evelyn push one box up and again receive weird looks. It's not like we're together, considering I'm dating Kyrie. The problem with Evelyn is that he's trying to lift too much at once. If something is heavy, he needs to lift only what he can and not try to lift everything at once. The cameras were moving, it's not hard to see shadows by the door and My Sister and her Best Friend are literally watching everything going on, yeah this is pretty stressful. I looked around losing track of where Thomas was, I looked around trying not to panic. Then, a split second later, my hair fell out of the ponytail and water started dripping on the floor. A water balloon, A FUCKING WATER BALLOON! I looked up at that dickhead with a smug smirk on his face. I grabbed a water balloon and threw it like a fast ball, hitting him in the face. He shook the water out of his hair and hopped down off of the bleachers. He knocked my hair down, so I wiped the stupid smile off of his face. He wasn't smiling anymore, but I was.

Thomas got what he deserved. Though, Phoenix does look really cute with her hair more down. She usually has it in a ponytail and the front edges of her hair are usually bent up with some hair still facing down. You can really see a difference between up and down with her hair. I don't know who's having a more stressful time in this plan. Alex and I or Evelyn and Phoenix, or even Scout and Tim. Luna and Aeliana don't seem too worried, then again, they could be trying not to show any worry on their faces. We heard footsteps coming towards the door and went into a backup plan. Alex had posters to put up to tell people about the dance, so we worked that into the plan. Alex boosted me into the ceiling and started taping the posters onto the wall. Will looked at her, sneering and walked up to her. I opened up the camera on my phone and started to record what was going on. "Well, Well, Alex Christopher Brookson, we haven't talked much since Sixth Grade" Will said with a smirk on his face. He's up to something and it's making me nervous. Alex was a little shorter than him in sixth grade, but it's been three years and she looks like a giant compared to him. I only know that cause she told me, but while Tim, Luna, and Aeliana had at least good reasons for why they joined into a group together, Thomas and Will don't. Will doesn't like Alex, because she called him a girl before they even got to know each other. While Thomas doesn't like me, because of me being artistic. I sent what I had to Scout and Tim and kept watching. "You know exactly why, Ryleigh" responded Alex, obviously annoyed at him. She didn't even call him by his first name so she must not be in the mood to talk to him. He leaned on the wall and kept that smug smirk on his face. "You know the School Dance is coming up, huh?" he asked, possibly implying something. "No, I am NOT going with you, my only dance partner is Scout and YOU haven't quit being a DICK about some dumb name mistake I made THREE YEARS AGO!" she shouted at him, her teeth clenched. I've never seen Alex with an angry face, but now, it's honestly kinda terrifying. I really dunno what's more creepy, the fact that nobody's come out to see what's going on or the fact that I'm watching this from inside the ceiling. Either way, I don't think this is going to end well. "Well, it's not my fault that you're stupid enough not to know the difference between genders!" he shouted back at her. "Well, at least I don't get mad when people mistake me for the opposite gender!" she interrupted, gritting her teeth. Now I really know that you do not want to get Alex angry. She turns into a whole new person that really does not want to be messed with. "Don't interrupt me!" said Will. "Well, don't be a Dick!" replied Alex. I couldn't say anything, for two reasons. One, it would ruin our entire mission and Two, I'm actually scared right now. I don't do well under pressure, I start to cry if something pressures me too much. Phoenix isn't here to help if I do start to cry so I feel even more stressed. I work myself too hard and still barely get it right. I don't wanna make my friends fail, but I can't help but feel like I'm no use to them. I feel like I'm just the third wheel of everyone's fun time. I don't wanna be the weight that brings them down. Deep down inside, maybe everyone was really right about me in school. I'm just a big crybaby that's just in the way.
