I ran faster than expected for some people and reached all the way till the end of school. Gabbie wondered why Rocky asked her to call of her girl hangout, did he want to watch T.V in peace or maybe call his friends over. Maybe he wanted to talk about something, but that's ridiculous he never shared his feelings with anyone except Gail. Gabbie never hated anyone, but she felt a slight jealousy towards Gail as her brother was closer to Gail than his own sister.

"I'm sorry guys I don't even know what's wrong with Rocky." said Gabbie with her eyes drooping. Sandy hugged her, Gabbie loved Sandy's hugs. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, I had... some work. I was joining the environment club." Tara was a horrible liar but Sandy and Gabbie weren't paying attention to her face; they were busy looking at their lockers. Tara's cheeks always get red and she starts playing with her skirt or top.

"All's okay Tara. We know how much of a goodie good good you are. BTW Gabbie's grumpy ol' bro cancelled our after school get-together." Gabbie smirked, "Come on Sandy you've been crushing on him since like 6th grade. Why do you play hard to get. Now he's asked Jessica out and you're too late."

Sandy frowned; she knew it was to happen. Rocky is one of the populars and she was the unknown. "It's okay. Anyways it was never meant to be."

Tara unpacked her locker; she had big plans on impressing Hollander today. "Hey guys you go ahead. I have a... club meeting", she ran off as fast as she could. Gabbie noticed she was acting weird but blamed it on PMS.

"Hey Rocky! I heard you asked Jessica out. You never told me you were into her, in fact you don't tell me anything anymore." she blurted as her brother was doing homework. Rocky felt a slight tension run within him, he loved his sister a lot but what if she doesn't understand. He feared she will ask him this question; he's more popular than most of the seniors, he can't like a person who doesn't fall back for him. All of this began running in his head instead of protein synthesis.

"I'm still waiting Rocky, you can't ignore me." Gabbie knew this was a bad idea. Why did Rocky become like this, what changed him? The only way to find out was (I was surprised when Gabbie made this decision) to talk to........ Gail!

***

"Hello Mrs. Martinez, is Gail home? I'm Rocky's sister, Gabbie." smiled Gabbie to see Gail's mom. She looked very young, like around her late 20s. "Oh honey bunny. You both have the same eyes. She's in her room at the moment". She lead me through their large museum like house next to a metal door that said "Gail's room, too boron for you. Just leave before my chemistry puns argon!"

Mrs. Martinez knocked on the door and Gail opened up. As I walked in I saw a very big, neat and tidy gold and black room. Everything was neatly kept; I thought she did so many experiments she never had time to clean up and all. "Um Gail, where are you I can't see you?" said Gabbie in a rather confused tone.

Just then she felt a tap on her shoulder, it was Gail with a big surprised face. "Um Gabbie. How nice to have you here. What brings you here?" Gabbie explained everything on how she believes something's up with Rocky but he being the idiot he is won't share it with Gabbie and the only person who might know was Gail.

"Oh Gabbie, that is terrible. Rocky did mention something going on that he wanted to share but I was too busy to listen. I have called him for dinner; I'll talk to him and text you." Gabbie's troubled face took a break releasing her beautiful smile. "Wait, Gail you don't have my number." Gail giggled, like brother like sister. "Oh I have the contact list of everyone in Spectreville."

Just as Gabbie left Gail felt like she was wrong about her. She always felt like Gabbie was the kind of person who hates her siblings. Gabbie was never there when Rocky needed help but it was just that Rocky never told her. Oh just Rocky's name made her want to burst into tears, but Gail was strong and knew how to control her feeling. She walked into her closet (she had a walk in closet) and behind the "never to wear" pink dress was a button that accessed an elevator that took her to her lab. Did her parents know about it? Absolutely not, she built it when she was 10 and only Rocky knew about it.

She walked towards a white board at the corner of the huge lab that said "to do list". "Change point of view about someone. Check." she said as she felt joy of only two things left on her list, "Kiss Rocky" and "Invent time-travel". How do I tell her you can't travel in time, once what has been done is done? But she was confident about that one; the only part of the list she was scared to complete was kissing Rocky.

"Gail sweetie! It's almost dinner time, Rocky will be here any minute." called her mom. Gail brushed her hair and tied it up into a neat pony tail. She wore the shorts Rocky had gifted her with a shirt that said "I like chemistry jokes periodically" she loved it when she wore a shirt with a chemistry joke on it and Rocky wouldn't understand it.

It was 6pm and the school was empty, perfect time for Tara to start her business. One thing about her, she isn't who you think she is. That's right, she's The Troublemaker. Shocked? Everyone is, luck is extremely partial to her as she has never been caught, and no one even suspects a person like her. But today was the day her secret was to be known by someone other than the people who she doesn't notice. She was checking is her "work of art" was in place for tomorrow's big show at the principal's office.

"Alright Hollander, today The Troublemaker will show you what a prank really is."

Chris forgot his lucky jacket in the chemistry lab which was close the principal's office. As he was heading back towards the exit he heard something odd going on in the Principal's office. "The Troublemaker..." he muttered to himself. He ran towards the office and saw a 'dude' in black jacket that said 'TROUBLE' and skinny jeans. 'His' hood was on so Chris couldn't see the hair length (and believe me if he did he will get more shocked than me when I found out women were allowed to vote. I was happy about the freedom)

"I knew it! It you're The Troublemaker! I'm a huge fan; you look so pretty from the back. I mean... Awesome." said Chris shocking Tara. She just continued checking if the ropes were tight enough.

"I'm Chris by the way. Amateur pranker, no one can be as good as you. Hey dude turn around, I wanna see my hero's face." Chris moved closer and Tara's heartbeat increased, no one was to know about this. If anyone finds out, she will get expelled and what will people think about her?

"If I turn around you'll get shocked", said Tara deepening her voice

"Trust me dude, I won't."

That's when Tara took out her pepper spray and sprayed it all over his face, Chris screamed due to the stingy feeling in his eyes. It's a good thing she always kept self-defence mechanisms with her but never imagined using it on someone who meant her no harm. As he fell to the ground Tara felt a little bad for Chris.

"Sorry Chris, it's nothing personal..." She said deepening her voice again as she pulled him all the way to the school's exit and left to continue her unfinished business.

Chris was literally fangirling, even though he couldn't see 'The Troublemaker's' face properly he did notice a very good physique, perfect curves and pink nail polish with glitter on his hands...

His expression changed from star stuck to shocked, "The Troublemaker is a girl! What do I do?!"
