Chapter Eleven
ELLIOT (As Kent)’s P.O.V
The music was booming against my ears, Kent... who was dressed like me was drinking casually, You seriously think this is going to work? Taint appeared beside me, “It has to.” I take a small sip of punch everyone around me was drunk so I could talk to Taint without anyone thinking I was crazy, Your brown ‘hair’ is showing the blonde streaks. Panicking, I adjust my wig. I look around, Tom was riding the refrigerator... yup. He’s drunk too. I turn to find Kent but he disappeared, “Where is he?!” I don’t know... I was looking at your drunk best friend over there.
My hand dipped into my jeans, I pull out Kent’s phone. And text to my phone... which I pray to god he had, “Where are you?!” I flip the phone shut, and in seconds I felt it vibrate again.
Flipping it open my name flashed across the screen, “Being molested by a blonde chick... HELP!” My eyes squinted as I scroll down, “In the band room? There’s a drum set... two guitars and a piano” I snap my phone shut and run to the band room.
~~
I burst through to the room, “Christal?!” My jaw dropped, “Leave him alone!” The blonde sluggishly turned to me, “Ke- I mean Elliot are you alright?!” Dude... look to your side. I flicker to the bass guitar, Kira was watching intently. “Kira!? What the hell?!”
He looked on with no expression, “I need to trap her. She knows something... Elliot was the bait.”
I began to shake, “Elliot!” I grab Kent’s white collar, “Kira! What are you going to do?”
He smirked, “Trap her.”
I cock an eyebrow, “How?”
He turned to me, “Kent, your worrying over some stranger?” His brown eyes pierced my own for information. Kent stood behind me, “Have you two begun hanging out more than usual now?”
I nodded, “I told him everything. EVERYTHING.”
“And what did he say in return?”
“Elliot?” Christal fell, “I love you...”
Kira narrowed his eyes, “I bet you do.”
Christal forfeited in drunken giggles, “Elliot, tell me who she is.” Kira stood up, He’s knows. “And what significance she has to you.”
Kent stiffened, “My ex-girlfriend, Christal.” Kira withdrew... Kent? How did you kn- oh wait we went to the same high-school, Kira doesn’t know that.
“Okay.”
“Elliot, Come with me... let’s leave the creep alone.” I walked away with Kent in tow before Kira could ask anything else.
~~
I sat alone, drinking coke now. “Heyyyyyyyyyyy~” Arlee sat on my lap, all the sudden attacking me with kisses as I tried to pull away, “Kent stop playing, I think your hot.” I mentally throw up, her breath reeked of alcohol. Her blonde hair was more messy and her make-up was all smudged, “C’mere.” She pulled me into a drunken kiss, I widen my eyes and push her off. She fell to the ground with a thud, “Ow! KENT!” I stand and run away, Kent has explaining to do. Taint stood in front of me, not amused. This was a bad idea... change back.
I run into Kent who was outside by himself, “You and me need to change.”
~~
Now Kent and I were alone, “Dude, want to change back?” Kent nodded with no hesitation, and ripped off his blonde wig. “Why the rush?”
