I Want to Forget

Chapter 20

Tommorrow was Valentine's Day, the day of love.  But according to our group, it is the day of fighting and hatred.  Lina and Summer would barely look at Toby.  Kailah would cry when Jake would come near her, and a new fight broke out.  This time with John and Byrce.  They are fighting about a girl they both like.  Her name is Mary and she did go to Rio Grande.  In 8th grade John had a crush on Mary, and I guess so did Bryce.  However John didn't know that Bryce liked Mary, but I guess Jackie found a way to get that secret out.  I told them to stop fighting, but they won't listen to me.  Samantha has been searching for evidence but she hasn't found any leads.  Right now Blake, Jack, Carson, Samantha, and I were all at the diner, trying to figure out how to stop the fighting and catch Jackie.

"So you haven't found a thing Tiffany?" Carson asks desperately.

"Sorry, I haven't found a single thing," she replies hopelessly.

"Come on guys, keep your heads up!  We have to crack the case!" I try to act cheerful.

"Give it up Paris.  Jackie won.  Accept it," Jack tells me.

"No I will not!  Starting today Paris Winston always wins!  Come on losers!" I exclaim.

"Can't you let us wallow in our own pity in peace?" Blake groans.

"No!  Let's look for the facts.  There has to be something that Jackie wants."

"She could just like causing chaos....I know I do," Samanta states.

"Want to know who else likes causing chaos," Carson says," Brittany, Terra, and Stella.  Whenever those three are somewhere there is always something chaotic going on."

Samantha's head perks up a bit. "What did you say?"

"Uh that Brittany, Terra, and Stella like chaos like Jackie. Why?"

"Maybe Brittany, Terra, and Stella know why Jackie are doing this!" Samantha exclaims banging on the table.

"Why would they know?" I ask.

"Well, Jackie is really close to them, they have to know something!" Samantha exclaims," Come on there is no time to lose!"

The boys groan," Where are we going?"

"The place that all the rebellious seniors hang out! The underground club!"

                   -----------------------

We walk down the concrete steps into a club located underneath a shop. I remember going here months ago. That's when I met Eric. It felt like a dream. I didn't like him for that long, and it was only a couple months ago in October. But it felt like a lifetime ago. It's been so long since I have seen Kobe. I miss him so much....but right now I had to focus. I looked around the foggy room. It was about 100 degrees in here, and there were sweaty bodies surrounding me.

"Can anyone see them?" I yell. It was also very loud.

"Look! They are at the bar!" Blake replies loudly. Our group pushes through the sweaty, grinding, bodies until we reached the bar where Terra and Brittany were cheering on a couple boys doing body shots on Stella. We waited patiently until the boys finished the shots. Stella takes herself off the bar and points in our direction.

"Look! It is Paris and her freshie friends!" Stella yells.

"Hey Paris!" Terra waves weakly.

"Can we talk outside!" I reply.

Brittany shrugs," Ok!"

We leave the underground club and stand in the parking lot.

"So what do you need?" Brittany asks.
