The life of a teenage hero

Mable

     Mable was very excited to solve this mystery with her friends. Even more excited than how she was when she saw Jack look at Alex with his Green eyes, having so much behind them. She didn't feel very comfortable with Mackie going to the bathroom right when they were talking about this. "Okay, we'll first make groups for different things." Julie decided.
    "Julie and Adam, obviously." Mable giggled.
    "Me and Mable could work together..if that works." Aaron mumbled.
     "Sure! Alex, Jack, and Mackie?" Mable suggested, only to get chemistry boiling between them.
     "Sure.. thoughts, cupcake?" Jack smiled.
     "As long as it isn't only flirting, sure." Alex sighed.
     A loud shout came from the hallway, and everyone turned toward the door. "Let's not forget this is a college, that could be anything." Aaron shrugged.
     A loud shriek followed by a thud sounded, and Adam jumped out of his seat and ran for the door, going into the hallway. "What the heck is wrong with him!?" Aaron questioned, as Julie, Alex and Jack went following him.
     "A whole lot! C'mon!" Mable said, quickly before Aaron caught her arm as she tried to run off following them.
      "That could be a murderer or something, are you really going out there?"
     Mable blushed. She felt safe knowing Aaron cared about her. "If it is, I'm dying with my friends."
     She slid his hand off her wrist and followed the others down the hallway, and Aaron came. They rushed around the building, taking sharp turns and dodging students. "Hey! What's goin' on?" Mackie interrupted, having everyone sigh in relief.
     "I thought you were kidnapped by a murderer!" Aaron gasped, hugging his sister.
     "Murderers don't kidnap. They murder." She grumbled, obviously hating the hug.
     "Let's head back? The noise was probably nothing." Mable shrugged.
     "Yeah, sounds good to me." Aaron agreed, followed by nods from the others. As they walked back, she could tell something was bothering Aaron. "You okay?" She piped, as the others talked about pickling apples.
     "Yeah, I'm uh.. no.. I'm not fine, actually."
     "What's up?"
     Aaron sighed. "I'm kind of scared.. so many people here are fitting the hair colours of who the person is kidnapping.. Alex is blonde, Julie has dark hair and so does Mackie, and Adam has brown hair.. I'm just worried that someone we know could be hurt."
     "Aaron, listen, if Adam were kidnapped Julie would literally be arrested for murder of all her suspects, Adam would go rampage mode on the kidnapper if Julie was kidnapped, if Alex were kidnapped, I would track down the kidnapper, and get arrested somehow, possibly go trans if it's a guy and get in the same cell as them, just so I could talk their ear off, just to sew it back on each day, to talk it off again  and again."
     "You and her sure are good friends." Aaron decided.
     "If Mackie were kidnapped, you and I would work together to find who did it to her, and punch them REAL hard!" She giggled. Aaron smiled.
     "And what would happen if they were hurt?"
     "They won't be. I promise." Mable assured him, placing her hand on his shoulder.
     "What would happen if you were hurt?" Aaron asked, causing Mable to smile. "Oh, they'd regret it! I'd kick their butt so hard, their grandkids would feel it!" She giggled. Aaron smiled. Aaron looked at the ground, and Mackie came between them. "Guys! Aaron, you know how I call pickled carrots pickots, right?"
     "Yeah..." he answered, unsure.
     "Well what if you pickled apples? If you try mixing them..."
     "You can't..." he gasped. Mable shook her head. She loved her new friends. She glanced to the back of the group, at Alex and Jack talking to each other. The entire time Alex was rolling her eyes and Jack kept smirking  and smiling, causing her to groan in frustration. Mable looked over to Julie and Adam, who were holding hands and smiling at each other with a deep look in their eyes. She looked up at Aaron, who quickly looked away, trying not to get caught staring. Mackie was trying to find a word to mix pickle and Apple, until they got back to their dorm. "It's almost 5:00, we need it figure out a plan." Mable reminded, as she held the door open, and everyone sat down.
     "Okay, so what's our teams?" Aaron asked, looking around.
     "Me and Julie, Aaron and Mable, Alex, Jack, and Mackie is what we thought up last time." Adam recalled.
     "What teams are doing what? Do we just split up and look for clues? If so, ain't gonna work." Mackie pointed out. "Aaron can be a bit of a nerd, and Mable seems like she's smart, right Mable?"
     "Yep!" She piped.
     "Yeah, Mable's smart so they'll investigate in what evidence people have found already, Julie and Adam will search for what Mable and Aaron tell them to back in their town, Greenville, and Alex, me, and Jack will look for stuff here that Mable and Aaron tell us to."
     "Mackie, since when were you smart? I always thought you were stupid!"Jack joked.
     "Jack, how stupid are you to think you, yourself, have enough intelligence to call someone else stupid? You ain't Einstein."
     Jack was silent for quite a bit after that, but Alex couldn't stop giggling. She obviously loved seeing him embarrassed. "Well, we have a plan. Me and Mable will start investigating tonight, you guys head home." Aaron directed. Everyone said goodbye until the next day, and Jack tried to kiss Alex on the cheek, but she slapped him in the face and burst out laughing, then walked away saying, "see you tomorrow, Blondie!"
     Mable didn't stop laughing until five minutes later.
