Out with a Bang

Club Tryouts & School Bon-Fires

[Alli's P.O.V]

All five of us are throwing questions towards Damien, and he looks completely flustered.

"Who told you?"

"How did you find out?"

"Are you going to tell anyone?"

"Why are you here?"

"Did the SAPL send you?"

We stop and turn our attention towards Dakota, who asked the last question.

"What the fudge is the SAPL?" Levi asks, giving Dakota the WTF stare. Dakota stares at us like WE are the crazy ones.

"The SAPL? Oh, you didn't know? The SAPL stands for the Secret Agency of Purple Llamas. The head leader is a giraffe, his name is Garcia. I don't understand that, because it's an agency of purple llamas. Anyways, they find out everyone's secrets and stuff. But now that I said something, it's not a secret. Shizzle, now I'm going to get fired!"

What the actual fudgecakes did I just hear? I think that is one of the most craziest things I've ever heard her say, and that's saying something. Dakota points to her Danisnotonfire Llama hat.

"This is Larry," she says. "He's actually purple, but he is under cover as a normal llama so he's brown!"

"Okay crazy, you can stop talking now," I say, rolling my eyes. She glares at me but soon gets distracted by her hat. Now that her crazy speech is over, we turn our attention back to Damien. No one speaks for a while, so Damien starts explaining himself.

"You guys weren't making it that secret, unless no one is paying attention. I remember hearing Dakota whisper something to Levi about a bucket list in class once, but didn't think much of it. First, you have a paint and water balloon war. Who in their right minds would risk getting in trouble for no reason? I let that slide, because maybe you guys just wanted to have some fun. Then, you pull that amazing prank on Walenburg, which I might say is genius."

Dakota sassily flips her hair. "I'm glad I entertain you," she says poshly. Melanie and Arianna shush her and motion for Damien to keep going.

"Anyways, I knew there had to be a reason for that. You guys were at the top of the charts, outshining Rocket! I mean, there had to be a purpose. So, I re-traced my steps and thought back to what Dakota said, and swore I hear 'Have a paint and water balloon war' come out of her mouth. Then I realized it, you guys have a Senior Bucket list!"

We stare at him in awe, amazed that he could figure that out with such little information.

"Wow Groves, we didn't think you were that smart!" Levi exclaims, throwing his hands in the air. Damien looks offended for a second, then brushes it off. Melanie gets right down to business.

"You aren't going to tell anyone... right?" she asks, staring him down. Damien shrugs jokingly, but Arianna takes it seriously.

"Dakota, you know what to do," Arianna grins evily, and Damien's smug look turns into one of terror. Dakota nods and gets up, towering over Damien's sitting position. Wow, she can look intimidating if she wants.

"You might not know about me, Groves, but I know much about everyone. I know the dirt on everyone in this school. I'm like a spy, a ninja, you don't know when I will attack. Plus, I'm pretty sneaky. I'm not a mean person, so I would never tell anyones secrets until now. I'm the master of evil plans, my friend, and I won't hesitate to black mail you."

Damien scoffs, not buying what Dakota is saying. He does look slightly nervous, but he is really good at playing it cool. "You know nothing about me, Dakota. Give me your best shot." He sits back in his bean-bag nonchalantly.
