The Killing Mime

Chapter 26: Nerf Gun

Mins POV

My eye flutter open as I finally wake up. I blink my eyes quickly to adjust to my change in surroundings.

    "Ah, you're finally awake, chica" I look to my right and see Rica looking at me with pity in her eyes.

    "Who got me?" I glare at her and she smiles at me, "Who shot me with the nerf gun?"

The nerf gun is what we use to shoot at each other to knock one another out. When shot, a sleeping dart shoots out; and it looks like one, hence the name nerf gun.

    "It's always the quiet ones," She juts her chin and motions to Quien who's driving quietly.

She meets my eyes in the rear view mirror, she smiles brightly at me while I turn my glare on her.

    "You're such a turd." I grumble and lean back in the car seat.

    "It was technically Airs fault, she was the one in charge of the ambush."

    "It doesn't matter who got who as long as we got Mins in the car." Ari smiles and turns her head towards me, "We're gonna get you such a pretty dress that sparkles like the stars at night!"

    "Yeah yeah, but the longest we stay is two hours."

=======================

Four Hours, Thirty-Seven Minuets, and Nineteen Seconds Later (AND still counting)...

We've been to six different dress stores already and not a single one of them has picked a dress. I watch as Ari, Quien, and Rica go through racks and racks of dresses for the gang ball. Each time one of them stops to scrutinize a dress I hold my breath just to watch them shake their head in disapproval and return it back to it's proper rack. I let a groan and throw my head back. I constantly bang my head on the wall behind me just imagining that after a while I'll get lucky, have a concussion, and get knocked out. But of course the Lord himself has different plans for me.

    "Are you guys almost done?" I yell out to them.

    Ari looks up with an annoyed look on her face, "Yes we're done but we're  trying to look for a dress for you! And it's not helping that you aren't looking for one either!"  She huffs out and returns back to looking through the racks.

======================

20 Minutes Later...

"Victory!" Ari runs out of the racks, with Quien and Rica following behind, holding a dress in the air. "GET UP! GET UP! HURRY PUT THIS ON!" She ushers me to a changing room throwing the dress at my face before slamming the door.

I strip from my clothes and put the dress on, not bothering with looking at it. I pull my head through the whole of the dress and stick my arms through the arm whole as well. Stepping up to the mirror I look myself up and down. A beige color of sheer is clung to my collar bone, as well as embroidery in fancy designs decorate the neckline and the hem of the dress. The rest of it is black and pools around the floor, hugging my curves perfectly. Huh, not too shabby Airs. I'm interrupted by someone banging on the door.

    "Mins hurry up! I wanna see if it makes you look fat!" Ari's voice fills the air.

    "I prefer to look fat than to wear a freaking dress!" I shout back.

I open the door to the changing room and step out. I lean against the door frame and watch my friends' expressions change from anxious to excitement.

    "OMG! MINS YOU LOOK PRETTY FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE!" Of course it's Ari who opens her mouth to say something so supportive.

    "I don't understand why 'Real didn't have to come and look for a dress." I ask them noticing that she isn't here to experience the torture with me.

    "We would've brought her but while we were distracted with chasing you and then shoving you in the car, she took that moment to run and hide somewhere. The guys are trying to find her as we speak," Rica replies and holds out her phone, "The red dot is the guys and the yellow is 'Real. They've caught up to her a couple of times but then lose her again."

I purse my lips, oh I'll help find her.
    "Anyway, what about this?" I gesture to the dress.

    "It's perfect! You're getting it." Quien smiles at me.

I roll my eyes and close the door to get changed back to my joggers and baggy shirt.

===============

    "Thank You, have a nice day!" The cashier says in a fake voice that matches her smile.

I grunt in reply and start walking towards Quein's car.
    "Wait, we have--," Rica runs after me but I cut her off.

    "No we don't, I just want to go back home and work on our plan." I grumble.

    "Fine, you're no fun." Ari sighs and rolls her eyes.

==============

I open the door to the house and see 'Real sitting on the couch watching T.V. eating popcorn. She looks up when Rica closes the door behind her and stuffs her mouth with more popcorn into her mouth.

    "Hur! Wf tok oh o ong?" She talks with her mouth full spitting out popcorn.

    "I was planning on  hunting you down in the car but decided not to." I cross my arms in front of me.

She swallows her food and rolls her eyes, "Gee thanks, I can practically feel the love pouring off of you."

    "Totally," I walk upstairs but before I shut the door I yell at her, "But now you'll have to suffer by yourself with the those three lunatics!" Then I slam the door.

I hear someone choke, then a thump on the floor, and then finally running footsteps. Shoulda just went with me, I think to myself and toss the dress into my closet not bothering to hang it up.

Now only a few days until that stupid good-for-nothing ball. I turn off my lights, pulling my covers over me, I close my eyes and sigh in content.
