Sarahtopia

Chapter 3: TJ

Ahhh! Nothing is better than kicking back late in the morning in Sarahbucks with a vanilla bean frappucino with extra caramel. It was 9:30, and I was sitting with Alison, a movie director, and Hazel, a celebrity scout. They were trying to figure out who would be the perfect person to star in their new movie. The movie was going to feature Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes and Cameron Dallas, and they needed someone to be the female main character alongside them.

"How about Ariana Grande?" suggested Hazel.

"Not her," replied Alison.

"Taylor Swift?"

"No."

"Selena Gomez?"

"No."

"Miley Cyrus?"

"No."

"The President?"

"No!" interjected Alison."We need someone good at acting, young, pretty and perfect!"

Hazel groaned. Then Natasha, the owner of Sarahbucks, came with a bright smile and the pair's drinks. "Your orders, girls," she told them cheerfully.

"Thanks!" Hazel and Alison chorused.

I saw Natasha glance up to look at someone, her eyes love-struck and full of longing. I followed her gaze to see that she was staring at Harry Styles, Cameron Dallas and Shawn Mendes, who were seated a few tables away. Hazel had also spotted that, but Alison was too busy savouring her drink to notice anything. Hazel gasped, "Oooohhh! I found the perfect person!"

Alison and Natasha's heads snapped to look at her. "Who?!" they asked at the same time. I heard a hint of jealousy in Natasha's voice.

Hazel was about to answer them when the bell rang. Natasha excused herself to get back to work. Quinn entered the cafe with a random person I've never seen before. When Quinn spotted me, her face displayed confusion. She walked over to our table and asked me, "Hey TJ, shouldn't you be at work?"

I looked at her questioningly, "No, I have a free day today."

Her expression became even more confused, "No you don't. It's Thursday, remember?"

I looked at Hazel and Alison for confirmation. They nodded. My faced paled. The President loathed tardiness. I quickly stood up. "I have to go," I said with a shaking voice.

Too late. The doors burst opened, revealing a group of policemen. "TJ Victoria Grace, you are arrested for being late for your job!" the police chief said.

Great. I put my hands up in surrender and let the policemen take me away to the court.

--------------------------

"TJ Victoria Grace, my butler, you have been late for your job. Do you have any words to say?" 'Judge Willy Wonka' a.k.a. the President announced.

"I'm sorry?" I hesitantly replied.

'Judge Willy Wonka' glared at me. After a moment of silence, she stated, "Tardiness is a crime and, like all crimes, should be punished. I, Mr. Willy Wonka, president of Sarahtopia and judge of this case, declare your punishment to be: jail for life!"

For the second time today, the colour left my face. Just as the police were about to take me away, the doors of the hall slammed open. In strode Lily Kastiel Alexis, a good friend of mine and the President's personal lawyer. When she reached the President, she addressed her formally, "Mr. Willy Wonka, president of Sarahtopia and judge of this case, I would like to express my opinion. TJ, your butler, may have been late for work, but she is an important and loyal servant to you. Surely, you would want to rethink your decision of throwing her in jail for life."

The President scratched her chin, contemplating on Lily's words. I shot Lily a grateful smile, which she returned tiredly. Then, we both looked back at the President.

"Ah, I know!" she exclaimed."TJ's my butler, so she should get an even worse punishment for betraying me!"

I gaped at her while Lily muttered," Okay? Not what I intended to convince you to do."

But I had bigger problems. There was only one punishment worse than jail for life. It was to get ki-

My thoughts were interrupted when the President called out "My personal ninja, Jade Storm, please come forward and do the honours."

I gulped. Jade Storm was my BFF, so she wouldn't hurt me, right? She wouldn't even dream of it. I am her best friend, aren't I?

Jade approached me. She looked at me and mumbled softly, "Sorry TJ, but it's my job."

Then, she did it: she kicked me. I lost conscious, due to the pain. The pain of betrayal that I felt( and maybe, maybe, the pain of Jade's kick. Hey, it was painful! She kicks really hard!) My last thoughts were: How could you, Jade?! I thought we were friends!

-------------------------

I woke up, the painful memories of betrayal still fresh in my mind. Looking around me, I saw that I was in my room. Somebody must have carried me here. I thought back to Jade's betrayal. I couldn't believe what just happened. How could she?! 

Suddenly, I was struck with an idea. I was gonna get back at Jade. And my revenge plan was brilliant. A mastermind. A smirk slowly formed on my faced. You better watch out Jade, cause you are so getting it.

Okay, now I'm done with this one.

Hope you like it!
