The Escape Project. // Toy Soldiers

TWO

We rounded the corner once again back tracking our way to the cafeteria. " So you and Joey huh?" she said giving me flirty eyes. " Oh no, no I barley know him he was just drawing me" I responded while walking up to Heidi and the others. "Hey Harley, Trotta has a thing for Tevy here." " Hal! he does not!" I say, trying my best not to blush but failing miserably.

"Awh shes blushing!" they all squealed in unison. " whatever guys come on I'm hungry" now half running to the now long lunch line. Grabbing a hamburger, an apple and a bottle of water. Following close behind the girls making sure not to get lost along the way to the lunch table. Finally reaching the table Haley, Heidi and Harley all rushing to sit next to each other I spot the only open seat which was between Joey and Yogurt.

Walking over I nicely ask " Can I sit here please?" flashing Joey and Yogurt a bright smile. Not saying anything Yogurt pats the seat next to him. Assuming that meant yes I sat down. Feeling eyes on my I looked up to see all my roommates starring straight at me and Joey. Flaring my eyebrows they quickly got the hint and changed the subject. " So Billy what are we all doing tonight" Heidi asked excitedly. " Well I was thinking we could just lay low for a few days. Headmaster got on me pretty hard last time i don't need that again" looking around at the lunch table while everyone finished their lunches. I saw Billy, Yogurt, Joey , the girls. And a few others I didn't know.

It was silent for awhile till joey spoke up. "So if were laying low were are we going?" " Well i figured we could all hangout in the basement you know show Tevy where we all hangout most of the time" Billy said looking at me. " Sounds great! lets all meet there right after the dean leaves ,Billy you give us the sign and we'll all head down there tonight" Heidi responded " sure thing babe " Billy said smiling straight at Heidi. The bell finally rang and we all headed our opposite ways.

" You know it being my first day I had no idea I'd have this much homework" I whined to all the girls.

" Come on its getting late why haven't they said anything yet?" Harley asked impatiently.

" Calm down you'll see snuffy soon enough.. See look there goes the dean now" Hals teased at her. Soon after i herd a loud banging on the ceiling. " yes finally Harley said practically running out the door. Hal grabbed my hand pulling me out the door quietly shutting it behind her. Quickly walking down the haul and around the corner I did my best to keep up with them. We soon stopped at a door where Heidi knocked quietly twice then three more time. The door swung open reviling a shirtless Rickey with half a sandwich in his mouth.

"Come on guys get your shit together lets go!" Harley said. We met up with Joey and Billy by the stairs and we headed to the cafeteria. Once there we walked into the back of the food shelter and Billy moved some shelves reveling a trap door type thing. Pulling up the door we all headed inside which lead to a concrete room "ladies first" I was startled by Yogurt standing behind me. " Don't just stand there come on you wimp." Haley said nudging me i followed after the girls we crawled threw a hole in the wall. Soon followed by the boys.

everyone sat around a table just talking until Billy spoke. " Guys i have somthing i want you to try" He said with a smirk. " Oh god last time you said that we all almost got kicked out of school" snuffy said whiningly. " No it's not that bad" billy said annoyed while pulling out what looked like. "Mouthwash!?" We all said in unison. " yes! Mouthwash but.. Maybe not" one by one billy filled up enough cups for everyone. We all shot our heads back taking a drink. Just to spit it out again because of the terrible taste.
It started to get late and the only one still drinking the "mouthwash" was yogurt.
He soon got too careless and knocked over about three wooden shelves which made a loud cracking sound sure to be herd by someone.

Everyone ran over to pick up Yogurt off the ground then picked up the shelves. But we're cut short by the sound of someone opening up the door. Everyone froze then scattered hearing the footprints getting closer. Everyone hid behind a box except for Billy who was trying to get rid of the alcoholfied mouthwash.

BILLYS P. O. V
"Hide hide go!" I told the guys as I rushed to dump out the bottle of mouthwash. I jumped up on to the table to turn off the light and go hide like the others. But the flash from the deans flashlight caught my eyes.
"Ah Mr. Tepper what a surprise to see you here".
"hello again Dean."
" where's your roommate at William?" " Up in his room sir. Doing homework I believe"
Hopefully he couldn't tell I was lying threw my teeth. I thought I was out free until.
*sneeze* "shit" " Watch your mouth son." "oh sorry" I spat not really caring at this point.
" come on out Mr. Bradberry you too Trotta. And everyone else yes even you girls" I saw everyone come out with a smirk on their faces. I knew none of them were mad. " Up to your rooms go on go" I herd the dean say as I started to walk away. " Not you William you stay here." Stopping in my tracts I returned to the dean. " come on billy you don't have many more lives. You've been kicked out of three schools in two years. And what's this alcohol? Did you sell any of these to anyone?" "Yes.." I say realizing how disappointed I was in myself. " Come we're going to get all of them back." Leading the way I headed back up the stairs to the floor I lived on.
" Did you try this one?"
" No!"
" This one?" I just stood they're not wanting to say yes. Knowing he already knew the answer. " Boys! open up Billy here sold you some vodka. I'll give you five seconds to hand it out and you won't get into trouble" the door swung open and the bottle basically flew out into the haul. " Pleas dean I'll get you the rest I don't need my friends thinking I narced on them. " I pleaded.
" How many more are there?"
" eight.."
" I swear boy if your lying"
" THERES EIGHT!" I said looking him right into the eye.
"okay go bring them straight back to my office." " alright alright " I said running off to retrieve the rest of the bottles. Finally collecting them all I brought them back to the deans office. Throwing down the bag that had a total of eight bottles in it. " okay you can go now" relived I wasn't getting into anymore trouble. I ran out of his office hoping not to get into anymore trouble. I headed down the hall to the room I shared with Joey. Opening it up too see him lying on the bed. Thinking I had to get revenge I knew it had to be good this time.
"Joey listen up I need your help"
