Trouble Tripled

Chapter 3 --->

‘Lexiiiiiii’

I was tackled to the ground the moment I reached my locker. All the air rushed out of me as I felt 20 bricks fall on me. I banged my head on the hard floor, the impact causing my eyes to close as I struggled to breathe. Am I going to die so soon? But I have so much more to do in the world… So many pranks still left to do and I have yet to graduate even high school let alone college!

Wait… what’s that vibrating? Is it my phone? No, my phone is in my bag of which I have no idea where it is as I fell. Then I realized the bricks on top of me were vibrating and ......speaking? Huh?

I opened on eye and peeked through and saw…

‘AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!’. Am I in hell already? That was quick transportation. Is this what devil looks like? Well he is faaaaar from good looking is all I can say…

‘You know you can open both your eyes. It won’t make a difference’, the devil spoke to me.

‘I’d rather open them when I reach Heaven thank you’, I stated politely.

I heard a familiar squeal of laughter somewhere above me…hold on a second… I know only one person who has a laugh like that. I looked up with my one eye and saw Natie. Huh? Great! This just gets confuser and weirder.

‘Confuser is not a word Lexi’. Natie spoke to me like she was speaking to a 5 year old who had a lot of trouble understanding her.

‘You have no imagination…wait…can we read minds in hell? Wait wait double wait…what are you doing here? Wait wait wait triple wait…why does hell look like our school hall?’, I wondered.

‘Stop being so dramatic Lexi…you are neither dead nor in hell. You are in school although that is a sample of hell but whatwver’, Natie said rolling her eyes at me.

‘But what about the devil?’, I asked pointing at the thing standing in front me with a weird expression. I think it was deciding whether to laugh or be angry. I wonder why? Well the overall effect was really weird.

‘You have got to be kidding me’

‘What?’ Just as I said that something started to click in my mind.

‘Gosh Lexi! You have got to be the most intelligent prank-er and also the dumbest and most gullible when it comes to yourself and remembering the pranks you yourself planned’ Natie felt the need to inform me while helping me get up.

‘Well how am I supposed to keep track of all of them, but anyway I remember now so CHILL’ I exclaimed as Natie raised her hand to slap my head. I looked at the thing that was currently on the floor drowned in large guffaws clutching his stomach.

This my dear friends was Nathan otherwise known as Nate aka my i.e. our other best friend and also Natie’s neighbor. Together we were “The Three Musketeers” or as some people rudely call us “The Three Idiots” or “The Three Evil-doers” or “The Three Crazy Pranksters” or “The Three From Whom We Should Stay Away”. Yes, the last one was made by our targets who were now scared of u and it was incredibly lame...i mean it is not like we were killing or hurting someone....except for sometimes but i swear that was purely accidental.

Anyway, last night Natie had crept into Nate’s room and painted his face with red, black any yellow paint. Then she switched off his alarm clock. In the morning when his parent’s had left off early, she went and woke him up giving him just 5 minutes to get ready before they had to take off for the bus and made him avoid looking in any mirror. Then they came to school by the bus. This all was obviously a master plan of mine!

‘Oh you do, do you?’ Nate apparently recovered from his state of laughter to glare at me. ‘Why am I the one who gets to be the unfortunate target of your evilness?’

‘Well you happen to be a deep, deep heavy sleeper as well as one of the most sweetest boy who will forgive his amazing best friends no matter what’ said Natie giving him the most sweetest smile she could come up with.

‘Oh no. I am not going to fall for your ‘so sweet and innocent’ smile as you like to call it. I know better than that. Did you know everyone was looking at me as if I was some kind of freak? I have a reputation to keep you know.’

‘You gave up that reputation the moment you became our friend; which was like forever. So what reputation are you talking about?’ I grinned.

‘Oh forget it you. No need to be so whatever you are being. Need I remind you of your priceless expression just a few moments ago? You were all like ‘”aahhhh help help aaaahhh I’m in hell. Help me pleassee”’ Nate laughed an evil villain laughing on his innocent victim. The innocent victim being me.

‘I do NOT sound like that. Stop exaggerating!’ I said crossly.

‘You are just annoyed that your own plan backfired on you’ Nate smirked.

‘How did you know it would backfire?’ asked Natie.

‘I didn’t. I just relied on Lexi’s dumbness for that’.

This got me to to start hitting him with my backpack and him wincing while Natie stood laughing at us. Just then the bell rand and I had to sop hitting the person who deserved it so much.

‘You just got saved by the bell… like literally’ laughed Natie.

‘Some friends I have. One hits me while the other stands laughing. Not to forget the pranks they do on poor innocent me’ asked Nate sulking.

‘Well when you put it that way it does sound mean’ I said thinking it over.

‘It does because it is! Remind me again why I am friends with you meanies’ frowned Nate.

‘Because you love us. Now stop the entire act. You know you won’t stay mad at us for long so why bother’ Natie grinned.

‘Yeah whatever. Now let’s go before the second bell rings and we get late’. Nate dragged us towards our first class by our ears. Did I mention that Nate was the nerdiest of us all? Ouch! Our poor ears. They didn’t do anything so why should they suffer.

We made our way towards our first class that is English. First class and third class were the only class all three of us had together. After which we had lunch.

Natie opened the door as we reached our room. Nate and I followed her inside. Mr. Rover looked up as we entered.

‘Thank you for gracing us with your presence’ remarked Mr. Rover. He looked behind me and raised his eyes. ‘Was there any Costume party or face painting of which I was not informed?’

Huh? I looked behind and saw Nate……with his painted face. Oh. Oooppppsss. Nate seemed to have realized it too cause he quickly turned around and muttering a ‘Shit'’ headed outside, most likely going to the bathroom to wash off his face.

 I looked back towards the class who were laughing and giggling quietly.  The giggling of course was from the girls who by the looks on their faces, found Nate still quite drool-worthy despite his paint problem……despos.
