Case Cracker

Chapter 3 - Planning

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face ready to face the day! 

Ok, that isn't true at all. My morning started like it does every other day; starting with me hitting the snooze button on my alarm about a million times. When the alarm rung for the twelfth time, I was getting sick of hearing it and finally got out of bed. 

Don't you just love mornings? (Hint the sarcasm.)

When I trudged into the bathroom, I looked like I've been sleeping in a cave. My hair is a matted mess, I'm sweaty and sticky all over, and I have those annoying crusty eye boogers. I know, I know, I'm sooooo attractive. 

I peeled off my sweaty pajamas and hopped into the shower. I felt the steamy water run down my back, and then turned around to face the shower head and splashed my face with the refreshing water. I shampooed and deep conditionned my hair to get rid of that horrendous bedhead.

It did refresh me, but I still was not in the mood to go to my math class today. But then I remembered something; today me and Cody are going to meet up and plan the big senior prank! I don't know whey I'm so excited about that. Maybe it's because he's my best friend, but I'm pretty sure it's because I get to spend time with him. 

I slowly made my way down the stairs to eat breakfast when I realized my mom made us pancakes. Bless her heart. Her pancakes are so sweet and savoury, and I scarfed down 9 in a matter of 10 minutes. I know, I'm a really gross eater, but what can I say? My mom's cooking is to die for. 

I walk back up the stairs and click the button on my phone to display the time; 7:36. I have about 35 minutes to get dressed and get to school. I then go into my closet and pull out my light wash skinny jeans and my faded Michael Jackson t-shirt, and slip on my white converse high tops. I then put on some eyeliner, a bit  of mascara, and some lip balm. I'm not a fan of makeup being caked on to my face. I then French braid my hair to keep it out of my face and I'm done. I grab my phone, headphones, and keys and I'm out the door.

20 minutes left. I have time to get a coffee. 

I walk into Starbucks and get my coffee and come out.  Thankfully the line wasn't too long so I still have time to get to school. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm in my last class of the day;  Science. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really boring. But thankfully, Cody's in this class, so it's not too bad. Once the bell rings, I rush out of the room as soon as possible and head to my locker. As I'm packing up, Cody approaches me and says "Meet me at the spot after school." The spot is a little creak in the woods where there's a small waterfall. I love that spot, and it's where me and Cody discuss our secrets. 

Once I'm out of school, I hop in my car and drive over to the woods by my neighbourhood. Cody still wasn't there yet so I pulled out my phone and texted my mom.

Rosie: I'm meeting Cody at the spot, so I'm going to be home a little late.  Luv u 😚

Momma💜: Ok. Be back by 5:30 4 dinner. Luv u 2 😚

Even though me and Cody promised not to tell anyone about our secret spot, me and my mom are really close, so I trust her. I didn't tell her exactly where it was though, so the secrecy of our sacred location is still in tact. Seeing as the slowpoke still  isn't here yet, I open up Instagram and DM him.

Rosie39: I'm here. Where r u?

CodyDaBawse: Pulling up in 2 mins.

When I see Cody approaching, I put my phone away and ask smugly, "So, now can you tell me what we're gonna do to land us in prison?" He responds with, " Oh come on. Would you stop being so uptight? We're not going to jail."  I roll my eyes at that because Cody's pranks are always elaborate, and sometimes borderline illegal. He then (finally) explains his plan to me.

"Ok, this is my 3 part prank. So once both our parents are sleeping, we'll sneak out our respective windows and into my car. On June 9th, Jamie Espinoza is having a huge party." Jamie Espinoza is the most popular, and snobbiest girl in school. "We're going to drive over to her house and I'm going to silly string her. Then-" "Wait" I interrupt. "How are you going to slip into her party, spot her, and cover her with silly string without getting spotted?" "I have my ways Chica. So anyways, you'll keep the car running and the back door open for when I make my escape. Then we're gonna go to Robbie Romero's house, and-" "Wait" I cut him off again. "Robbie's the most popular guy in school. He's gonna be at the party for sure." "Yeah, but he told me he has a family obligations so he cant go. So anyway, I'm going to go in and rub Vicks on his eyebrow to take it off." "So am I just your getaway driver?" I ask. "For the first 2 parts, yes. But I need your assistance on the third one. So you know how the principal (Mr. Stricker) hates posters on the wall because he thinks it makes them look cluttered? So we'll take every single poster in the whole school, and super glue them to the wall and floor. I need you for this one because we need to be in and out as soon as possible. I'll provide all the supplies needed." "Why are you doing this to these particular people?" I ask him. He responds with, "Because they're all total snobs. they walk around like they own everyone, and I think I they need to get what's coming to them." There's a fire in his eyes and passion in his voice as he tells me his reasoning for wanting to pull these pranks, which is just the cutest thing on Earth.

As our long conversation is coming to and end, I click my phone to show the time.  5:26. Shit. I need to get home.

I say bye to Cody, get in my car, and speed down the street. Even though there's a 90% we're getting caught, I am so excited to be spending an entire night with Cody. He's just so adorable when he's passionate about something. I can't wait.
