Lucky or Not?

Chapter 10 - The Prank

Chapter 10 - The Prank

Cassie's P.O.V.

"ADOPTED??!!" yelled the boys. Niall dropped the popcorn, and the contents scattered all over the place. Great.

"Uh, hi El," I said sheepishly. Eleanor sighed and sat down. The room turned quiet and awkward. I knew she needed time to convince herself it was true. Now I came to think of it, wasn't Eleanor with Louis before? Louis went to El's place. I wonder where he is now.

"Um, does Lou know?" asked Harry, trying to clear up the tension. (Of course he does, doofus,) I thought to myself. Eleanor nodded. It would be funnier if it wasn't so serious.

"So, where is he?" asked Niall, eating popcorn off the floor with an amused expression. I couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone shot me a weird look.

"What?!" I protested.

"Haha, Jimmy protested," laughed Zayn. Niall started laughing. Everyone laughed at Niall. The tension eased instantly.

After the laughter had died down, Eleanor said, "I need to talk to Cass.", She shot the boys a look. Gosh, what's with the secret language?

"We have to...uh...," stuttered Zayn, his eyes looking to the other two boys to help him, "to...um...watch...movies!"

"Yes, MOVIES!" echoed Harry.

"Horror movies!!" yelled Niall. They ran away, skidding and slipping across the tile floor. I laughed. Wait, shouldn't I go with them? Oh yeah, El, how could I forget about this beautiful girl?

"Hey El," I said. She gave a small, but sincere smile.

"Sooo, what do you want to talk about?" I asked, my mind wandering all ready. I have a very short attantion spa- ooh look, a kitty! Just kidding.

"You knew I was adopted?!" asked Eleanor. Damn, I had hoped she wouldn't realise that I wasn't shocked when she told the other three about her adoption.

"I suspected," I said, dragging the words out. She shrugged it off.

I looked into her eyes. They seemed familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Suddenly, a memory flashed over my vision.

(My five year old self looked up into my mother's eyes. The warm, chocolate brown iris' shone down at me, smiling.)

The memory passed, and I was back in the present. Then I caught sight of Eleanor's eyes The brown matched my mother's exactly. "Who are you?!" I exclaimed.

Eleanor's P.O.V.

"Do I know you?" I repeated. Should I tell Cass? Yeah, I should. She should know the truth. How should I tell her?

"El? El. El!" cried Cassie urgently. Ignoring her, I paced back and forth.

"Cassi- ARGGHHH!!" I screamed. I fell into something cold and soft. Urgh! Slime!

 I just noticed Harry, Niall and Zayn about to sneak out to the cinemas. "You three! Come here!" exclaimed Cassie. The three idiots turned around and snorted at the sight of me. I rolled my eyes before I got up. TIME FOR REVENGE! What can I do? Oh, Louis! Walking out of the room, I took out my IPhone 4S and dialed Louis' number, leaving Cassie yelling at the other three.

"Hey, babe," he said, happily.

"Hey Lou, can you help me?" I asked. In the background, I hear the front door close as Cassie yelled at the retreating boys.

"Anything for you," he replied. I giggled.

"So, what can I do for you, Miss Calder," he said, rather posh. I laughed, and heard a soft chuckle from the other end of the line.

"Prank Zayn, Harry and Niall, Mr Tomlinson," I said in the same tone of voice.

"At your service, Miss." This was going to be good.

Harry’s P.O.V.

We came back from the movies where we had seen Paranormal Activity 4. It was very good, but also scared the pee out of me. The strange thing is, I don’t think Zayn was even scared. Weird child.

I called Liam before to find out where he was. ’Apparently’ he and Dani were about 10 minutes away. Pshhh. They wouldn’t be back for ages. Lucky. I wish I had a girlfriend. Oh well. I’ll stick to one-night stands for now.

I unlocked the door to the flat, laughing along with my two mates. Chucking my wallet onto the bench, I made my way to the lounge room. Zayn and Niall had gone ahead. “What the heck?!” the Bradford Bad Boi bellowed. Quickly, I rushed to the source of the noise.

There lay Eleanor, pale as a ghost, with a knife sticking out of her chest. Blood soaked her top, and the couch around her. Niall just stood there looking shocked, while Zayn was on his phone, talking to someone in a low voice. I assume it was Liam.

But what would Louis think?

Zayn hung up soon after and dialled another number. I think it must have been Louis, because I heard a loud and hysterical, “What?!” sounded from the speaker. He soon placed the cell phone down on the coffee table.

Suddenly, I heard the water shut off. I didn’t even realise it was on. It was probably Cassie. Just as I was about to yell out to her, the front door flew open. Liam rushed in, Danielle hot on his heels.

“What happened?!” Liam exclaimed.

Cassie’s P.O.V.

I quickly ran downstairs, my wet, caramel hair flying behind me after Liam yelled those words of wisdom. I knew it was a prank, so I couldn’t wait for them to check her pulse and discover she was alive. As soon as I got down there, the four boys turned to look at me.

“Have you checked her pulse yet?!” I yelled, faking despair. They shook their heads. I then noticed Dani, kneeling beside her, fake tears streaming down her cheeks. She, too, had been informed of the awesome prank planned by Louis and El.

I went over to El’s side as fast as I could, leaning down, grabbing her wrist and checking for a beat. Of course there was one, but I pretended there wasn’t. I shook my head. “It’s too late, she’s gone.” Fake tears ran down my face. Knew that would come in handy some day!

“Who’s gone?” asked a curious voice from behind me. I smiled to myself. Louis was here.

“No-o-o on-n-e,” stuttered Harry. LOL!

“What are you hiding?!” His voice sounded more panicked. Fake, of course. This was epic.

“No-oth-in-g,’’ whispered Niall, stepping forward. Foolish boy, I thought. Fortunately for Louis, Dani El and I, Louis caught sight of both Dani’s and my grief stricken faces. He pushed forward, past his bandmates to see Eleanor laying there, pale and unmoving. Of course, her skin shade was done by make-up, and She had this talent of breathing without moving her stomach, so that wasn’t a problem.

“What the hell happened?!” Louis screamed. “Eleanor!” He was now hysterical, shaking her body

“Calm down, mate,” Zayn said, soothingly.

“No I will not calm down!! My girlfriend, the love of my life, is dead, and I may never love again!!” he screamed. ”So why don’t you try to calm down!”

“Fair point,” Zayn muttered under his breath.

God, if Louis’ singing career fails, he could seriously look into being an actor.
