Chapter 9 - Topp Gun

On the fourth day of Joe the sun shone through my curtains, waking me up. I could smell and hear breakfast being made downstairs, which filled me with dread for a second as Joe was a terrible cook. But then I remembered our new butler, Spencer, and was filled with a new hope. I got dressed, putting on cropped pink heart-patterned hoodie that was a perfect replica of the iconic hoodie from Jennifer's Body, a black miniskirt, and black boots. I did my hair in a messy bun that was the perfect amount of messy. I picked up my lim balm but as I began to put it on my lips, I suddenly remembered that amidst all the chaos from last night I had forgotten to do my homework! I knew there was no time to finish it now before school. It had been from a class I hadn't been able to go to yet, something about video games, as I had left halfway through the day due to my injuries. I looked around my room to find my note book and laptop so I could at least start the homework but neither of them were anywhere to be found... along with the rest of my schoolbooks and schoolbag. I raced down the stairs to the kitchen where Spencer was making bacon in a skillet, while listening to someone on the phone. From what I could tell from his facial expression, he was very enamoured with the person he was speaking with. Unfortunately I had to interrupt his phone date.

"Hey, Spencer, have you seen my school stuff?" I asked frantically.

He turned around and gestured to the kitchen island where my packed schoolbag was sitting, right next to a plate of hot breakfast.

"I did your homework for you, as you seemed really tired last night" he said quickly before getting back on his phone call.

I sat down and cautiously took a bite of the bacon. It was amazing. Far better than anything Joe could make. That reminded me that I hadn't seen Joe that morning yet. Right on cue, Joe sidled into the kitchen with a steaming mug in his hand.

"This is a great 'cup of JOE'" Joe said before howling like an ape at his own joke.

My face remained blank and Joe stopped laughing and became serious immediately upon seeing it.

"How are you doing today, Issy? Ready for your second day of school?" Joe said, trying out a nickname.

I smiled at him and nodded. I then checked the time on my phone and realised it was time to go. Suddenly, I remembered that we had lost the Joemobile... so I had no ride to school! I began to ask how I was going to get to school when Spencer interrupted me.

"Frankly, there's no need for you to worry. I called in a favour from a friend. Go out to the back garden."

I had no idea what this meant but since I was about to start running late I had no choice but to walk out to the backyard. I felt a strong wind on my face and looked up to see a jet coming down. My jaw dropped in surprise. The jet landed on the lawn and the door opened, a very short, Dorito shaped, suited man stepping out. He mentioned for me to come over, so, bewildered, I made my way to the door of the jet. The man stuck out his hand for me to shake, and when I took it, he shook me back and forth so hard that I slammed against the sides of the metal doorway of the jet several times.

"whoops, sometimes I forget I can do that" he giggled, "anyway, lets get you to school".

Trying to get my balance, I stumbled over to the passenger seat of the jet and sat down.

"The name is Shayne, by the way. Shayne Topp." The man said to me before flicking some switches on the shiny modern-looking dashboard.

"Nice to meet you... uh.. cool jet, by the way" I said, still confused as to what was even happening.

"Yeah, thanks! It's like Top Gun, right! I love movies!" Shayne exclaimed excitedly.

"I think everyone does..." I muttered under my breath.

The jet took off and we began to soar through the sky. Shayne reached behind him to what I now realised was a giant gramophone from what looked like the 1930s. I expected him to start playing some old timey music when a Chappell Roan song started blasting from the trumpet speaker.

"H-O-T-T-O-G-O, you can take me hot to go!" Shayne sang along to the song.

At the last chorus, Shayne let go of the steering device, seemingly possessed by the music, and began to do the cheerleader-style dance that went along with the song. The jet swerved to the side, and I grabbed onto the dashboard out of instinct to steady myself. I accidentally pressed one of the buttons on the dashboard, and suddenly the jet began to dive. Shayne screamed and clasped onto the steering device, trying to make the jet pull upwards, but it was too late. With an extremely loud bang, we
crashed into a tree. Luckily, the jet seemed to have some cushioning device, so Shayne and I were alive, but we had to get out of the jet quickly if we wanted to stay that way. We climbed out of the jet and Shayne offered for me to hold on to his arm while he climbed down the tree to safety. I felt like a baby koala. Once we got down to the ground, we both looked up at the jet in the top branches of the tree. Shayne dropped to his knees and put his head in his hands. I was about to asked if he was okay when he jerked his head up to the sky and screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". I thought it was safe to assume he was not okay. I put a comforting hand on his shoulder but he pushed me off.

"This is your fault!" He spat at me.

I shook my head no and stepped back from him.

"Just wait until I post about this on Reddit! You will be over!" He screeched violently at me.

He took out his phone and looked through his contacts until he pressed one that was named "wifey💍". Putting the phone to his ear, he started to rant.

"Courtney, we need to send out a Reddit post, STAT! Yes. No. Something really bad happened... No... It was the jet. I was supposed to be taking Spencer's new client to school but she purposefully crashed it into a tree! Yes... he will pay for this...Okay, bye, I love you too" He said into the phone before hanging up.

"What the hell? I didn't do that on purpose!" I yelled at him.

"I have a psychology degree, I know when people lie, so don't even try with me." Shayne retorted.

"Honestly I don't care about your stupid degree. I'm going to school" I replied before turning around and walking away, flipping my hair to the side as I turned to add sass.

"YOU AND SPENCER WILL BE ENDED!" I heard Shayne call from behind me as I got further away from him.

So, the day had started off terribly. But at least that meant that it couldn't get any worse... right?
