The Side Character Club (TSCC) - Discontinued

We Might have Lied to the Boys for Their Sake

We creak the door open only a notch.

The whole school is in lockdown, the curfew has been moved to 8 pm, and students aren't allowed to leave the campus at all. So, we aren't really following the rules, but anyways. The guards are touring the outside area, or doing the equivalent of that, watching with a stern look on their faces.

It would be comforting if we weren't trying to sneak out.

We're all dressed from head to toe in black, like we're going to an extreme dress coded funeral. We all have hoods, and a hat underneath, just in case. Here's a tip: always put your hair in a swim cap and wear a hood with a hat underneath, because if something happens and the hood tips off: BOOM, they have your hair color. Whoever they might be.

"Shh, be quiet," Zoe says to virtually nobody.

Jason makes faces, and we all silently groan.

"What? You can't be so serious and act like this is a life and death situation. Besides, we're only going out to feed some abandoned kittens, right?" Jason adds, waving his black gloved hands around like he has seen a shark.

We stay silent and all find somewhere to stare at.

Liam nods along, and glaces at Aria, who is not looking at him at all, and seems laser focused on what lies ahead of us.

Lilith looks at her phone, which is put on night mode, because, well, it's night, and you also can't have a bright screen in the middle of the night. Unless you want the guards to catch you and give you detention.

In that case Aria can just pay them off, or Lilith will just hack into the system again. But you get the gist. The point.

It would be inconvenient to say the least if we get caught. We would be sent back to our rooms and probably somebody will be stationed outside or something.

We pull the hoods over our head, but not like in the books where it hangs so loose it hangs down to their nose or something, because ours just barely covers our head. Just barely. A slight gust of wind blows the hood off Tim's head, and he fights to keep it on.

Toast just quietly laughs.

I feel like we're escaping from prison, you know, with all the bravado and the spotlights traveling the ground. The spotlight is the only thing we're missing, actually. And with the fog and mist, I can see just barely in the distance the ancient black gates that probably were still standing when the place was a manor. I'm pretty sure it was there before the founder of this academy was born.

We sneak to the gates, where guards are lined up, and we quietly climb the gates when they aren't looking.

I don't know how that works, but it does. They just don't notice us.

We tiptoe as soon as we hit the ground on the other side, and the hidden weapons in our clothes go cling cling.

Aria waves to us to hurry as she runs with an obvious unhealthy amount of adrenaline.

A few blocks down, there are three parked cars in a random warehouse's parking lot, regular and plain out average. Which I guess is good to make sure they go undetected.

Apparently Aria had some people she knows drive them down here.

The boys start going to the cars, but Aria pulls them back by pulling on their jackets, and gives them a stern look before gently smacking them on the head.

Liam pouts, and Aria just pats him on the head, which makes him scowl.

"Oh shut it, Jack Frost." I take a good look at Liam's hair, and realize what she's talking about.

Liam's hair is half-bleached, blond at the tips but half-brown toward the roots, revealing his true hair color. I mean, it's sort of cruel, but true. Liam swats at her head, and she just pushes him back, ruffling his hair with one hand and pushing him with the other.

I laugh, because who wouldn't, and the others just look away like they didn't just hear it, whistling.

"Take your time," I say.

Aria turns to look at me now, "You shut it too, Claire."

But then Liam... oh my goodness. Save me. I have gotten an overdose of Laria.

He leans in while she's looking at me and pecks her cheek. Well, half-pecks it, half-kisses it.

Aria's face turns slightly red, her tips of her ears burning as she shoves Liam farther away. If Aria's blushing... well that means something.

Jason is looking at Ruby now, but she's looking away.

"Can't we be more like them?"

"We aren't anything." Ruby replies.

"Sure," Jason grumbles.

Evelyn rolls her eyes, "OH MY GOODNESS," she says, scream-whispering, "we gotta get inside and see where they're being held hostage."

And there the boys go, their eyes widening. Oh gosh, you really did it now Evelyn.

Lilith gives them all a smack on the head, and they shake loose.

"Just stay here and be our lookout in the cars with the engine on. When we get out and get in the car, preferably with the Invisibles in tow, step the pedal. Call 911 if you hear screaming that doesn't sound like ours, okay?" I say, taking out a silencer, attaching it to the muzzle of my revolver.

Jason hugs Ruby from behind (which we won't talk further about) and they all nod, probably still processing it, but Aria goes ahead and starts to silently pick the lock with two bobby pins.

The lock pops open, and we silently enter.

***A/N***

Srry about the sort of cliffhanger... the chapter was starting to get too long.... so I apologize, the Invisibles will have to wait another chapter to get saved -

SO MUCH SHIP ACTION and it isn't even the last chapter with ship action...... I plan to dedicate a whole chapter to ship action.  You'll know from the title when it comes.  So start making more ship names..................................................
