Chicken in the coop, water in the pail
Cheers everybody, the ship has sailed!The plan came to me a week later. Jacob was a yucky, yucky boy and I was going to dish out some revenge! It came to me when the toast popped up. What better way to get revenge than to get Sarah and John together and show him that there's nothing he can do about.
I quickly ate the toast and got dressed in record time. I left a note on the counter telling Sal that I went out for a walk, and that I was taking the phone he bought for me last week. I was pretty sure he'd be furious that I had left the house without a bodyguard, but I was so sick of barely having any privacy. Closing the door as softly as possible, I started making my way to the mall.

I remembered that Jacob was wearing a name tag that had a Calvin Klein logo on it and HI MY NAME IS JACOB!
"Hi, um, excuse me. Um. Hi. Can you, um, I mean do you know where I can find the Calvin Klein store?" I asked some random person. He looked at me weirdly and pointed behind me. I turned and banged my head into the mall's directory. "Oh. Hehe. Thanks."
"No problem," he awkwardly smiles and quickly walks away. I locate the store and quickly make my way there. Sal would've found my note by now and I needed enough time to make sure everything went according to plan. The plan that I'm winging.
The door chimed as I entered the store. I tried to act like it was natural for me to be in the guy's underwear section. Who puts the underwear section as soon as you walk into the store?! Luckily I found Jacob fairly quickly. He looked so happy to be dealing with a man who had two screaming babies. I almost did my happy dance right there!
I waited patiently behind him until the tired father went away and walked up to him.
"Hey, Jacob!" I exclaimed. He narrowed his eyes and huffed.
"The son of the biggest-" He stopped short and sighed, "What do you want, Peppy?" I almost slapped him. No one but my friends can give me nicknames.
I swallowed my pride, "I just wanted to apologize for my behavior yesterday," Lowering my voice I added, "It was my time of month, if you know what I mean."
It wasn't really my time of month. I just figured that since he was a guy the topic would make him uncomfortable and he wouldn't ask any further questions.
"It's alright. I understand, Doll," He put his (slimy) hand on my shoulder and grinned a disgusting grin. I resisted the urge to throw up on his expensive looking shoes.
I offered my best flirty look, "I am so happy you understand. I hope you know that I didn't mean any of the things I said. Now that I think about it, I have no idea how I thought you were ugly! Friends?" I held out my hand and he took it. Never breaking eye contact, he made sure to trace nearly every damn line on my palm before he let go.
"So...I have break soon. You wanna go and grab something to eat at the food court?"
"As long as you pay," I flirt at the same gagging inside.
"Great!" He takes a step towards me and whispers, "See you soon!"
As soon as I stepped out of the door, my phone started to ring. Sal's number flased across the screen and I quickly answered it.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW TERRIFIED I AM!!! GET YOUR LITTLE BUTT BACK HERE BEFORE I LOSE IT BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!" I zoned out after a bit.
"Um yeah, totally. I gotta go now Sal!" I quickly hung up, no doubt enraging him even more, when I saw Jacob walk, sorry, strut out of the store.
"So, you ready to go?" He flashed me what he thought was a winning smile.
"As I'll ever be!" I grimaced back.
"We walked to the food court and ordered. I ordered fries, a slice of apple pie, and a sprite. He got a double cheeseburger and coke.
"So-" munch munch-"other than coming to apologize-munch munch-"to me, what have brings you here?"
"Oh, nothing," I gently take a sip of the fizzy soda, "In fact, I wanted to ask you something."
"Yes?" He grinned, giving me a full view of the food in his mouth.
"Well," I hesitated enough for him to get curious. Here goes nothing. I took a deep breath, "Do you wanna hang out sometime?"
Author: Is it safe?
Sal, leaning against the wall: No. They still wanna kill you.
Sunita: You should have published two weeks ago, like you said you would!
Author: Shut up! I wanted to, really! But...um...I couldn't?
Sal: Excuses, excuses!
Author: Well, just ask them to vote, comment, and they don't need to shower any love. If they don't kill me that's enough.
Sal: You can tell them yourself. Here they come, pitchforks and all!
Author: WHAT?!?!?!
