Chapter 14: Everything's Going To Change

After the conversation with Minho last night, I still couldn't sleep. Even if it was our last night there and I really wanted to get a good sleep not to miss the car ride again, I was awake for a good two more hours.

But Newt woke up and a few others were still awake, so we chatted for a while.

One of the only people that were passed out was Minho. I saw the chance and I took it.

And since Minho was a naughty little klunk, I wasn't the only one who wanted to have a payback on him. Newt wanted revenge for the ponytails thing, Thomas for that one time he told us about in which Minho tricked Thomas and managed to make him punch himself. And even if Frypan and Winston didn't really have anything against him, they were up to it.

So we took a few permanent markers –black, blue and red –and started to paint his face.

When he already had a red moustache and goatee, a black pirate patch on his eye, and a lot of green freckles we waited to see if he woke up when he stirred. But he was still deeply immersed in his slumber.

Newt smirked evilly when he realized how much of a heavy sleeper he was and suggested that we turned Minho around and painted on his back too.

Needless to say, I had finally managed my revenge –well, me and everyone really –and then we went to sleep. We looked forward to the moment of truth, when Minho looked himself in the mirror –it wouldn't be too long because he had to make sure his quiff was on point –and we saw his reaction.

I was woken up by a loud scream that I recognized as Minho's.

"SONS OF A SHUCK!"

Even if we were all sleepy, we exchanged satisfied glances and grins as we laughed at him.

He had seen it, our masterpiece drawn on him.

After that, he spent a whole half an hour trying to take the marker out rubbing by his skin with a scrubber. By the time he was done, his skin was completely red.

The last day we wanted to go home soon, so after having lunch and goofing around a bit more, we began to pack up to go home.

The house was a little chaotic as everyone ran around it, going back and forth, to gather their belongings. We yelled at each other to ask if we had seen something and from time to time hid something as well.

When we were done and made sure we weren't forgetting anything, we headed for the cars.

The car organization was the same that before, which meant that Chuck was going with Thomas and Teresa again. So I went to my brother and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek before I walked to the car Alby would be driving.

While Fry finished gathering all of his stuff –he had woken up the last one and was still rushing up and down the place to pack –Thomas chatted with Minho, Newt, Alby and Gally.

"Are you sure?" Newt was smirking evilly as he nudged Minho in the ribs.

I leaned my back in the car and observed the scene, listening to their conversation.

"Ugh, you shucks..." Minho rolled his eyes so hard I thought he would hurt himself.

"You know he's right" Thomas joined their teasing. "You should just go in that car so you can be with her"

Newt motioned for me to get closer and held me by the waist to keep me close to him when I did.

"Alby asked him if he wanted to go in the car with Brenda, but Minho refused out of pride" The blond whispered in my ear, sending shivers all over my neck and down my spine when I felt his warm breath against my skin.
