Change of Plans

5|ready for action

Sunday, November 6th

Sunday was my favorite day of the week, the day I could do whatever I wanted. If I didn't stick to my schedule I wouldn't feel guilty like I did during school days because I didn't have much to do anyways.

I glanced over at my clock to see that it was only nine o'clock.

I made my way downstairs sleepily to eat some Frosted Flakes, my favorite. We had about 10 boxes in storage incase I went on a frenzy or ate more boxes than I should.

I poured myself a bowl of the delicious cereal and sat down at the table, pulling out my phone to scroll through my social media and such.

After I finished, I made my way upstairs and my phone started to ring. I figured it was Phoebe or Lily but when I looked at the caller I.D, it was Elijah. Cautiously and curiously, I pressed answer.

"Um hello?" I said very confused, sitting on my bed with my legs crossed.

"Hey, when should I come over?" His voice sounded through my phone.

"Um...what?" I responded even more confused than before. What was he going on about?

"For the plan...when should I come over?" he clarified.

My heart skipped a beat in my chest. Nuh uh, this was not part of the plan in my head. "Um, I thought you were doing that with the twins or something." I tried to clarify. The Rogers twins, Rem and Ryan, are Elijah and Alex's other two friends. Those boys practically rule the school.

No way I was doing the plan with Elijah though. If we got caught... I didn't even want to think about how awful that would be. And what would Alexander think, the poor kid had no clue who I was.

"No no no, they don't even know about this. I need you to tell me what to do." He said almost more panicked than I was.

"I told you the plan...last time I checked you were there too." I decided to joke with him a little bit to ease both of our nerves.

We could figure this out, right?

I heard him sigh on the other side of the line. Obviously I hadn't amused him. "I really need you there." He struggled out.

"It's little out of my comfort zone..." My halfhearted response wasn't cutting it for him.

"Exactly." He said immediately after.

Well shoot.

"I don't even know Alex, he'll hate me forever if he finds out." I started coming up with a million more excuses in my head and felt my hands begin to sweat.

Gosh dang it.

"Well first of all, it's when he finds out. There's no way I'm not telling him I did it, it's too good, he has to know. And second, he'll only be mad at first and then he'll get over it, you're fineee." He dragged out the last words with a nonchalant tone.

"Elijah," I sighed and rested my head on my hand.

"There's no way you're getting out of this one Bella."

If it was literally any other day, I wouldn't go. If it was a day that I cared about my schedule, I wouldn't go. I did make the idea up to, so maybe it wouldn't hurt to help out, right?

"Okay, fine, fine I'll help you." I blurted out before I could change my mind. There's no way I was getting out of this. "Come over at like eight and we can go get everything."

"How about like midnight?" He suggested.

"We have school tomorrow, no way." I immediately shot him down.
