22. What Now?

22. What Now? 

We lose ourselves in books, we find our selves there too...

Zane, Nikki, Ali, and myself were now waiting by the pool. Nikki said meet her down here and we don't know what she's up to.

"Well, on an unrelated topic, i'm failing half my classes." Ali shrugged.

"So am I." Zane mumbled.

"I have to go to some museum for extra credit, you guys want to come with?"

"Why not..." Armani replied.

"I can't. I have a test that day." I said lowly.

"I didn't tell you what day it was." Ali rose his eyebrows at me.

"Then, i'll have a test everyday until the day after that museum trip."

I rested my head on Mani's shoulder while Ali and Zane laughed. "It's okay, Mani. We're going to figure out what's happening. Whoever shot you in the stomach, was not Ace. Ace would never do that, he cares about you too much." I told her reassuringly.

Armani just sighed. She needed to know that Ace loves her.

Just then, there was screaming. The four of us looked at each other as it got louder and brought our attention to the door, which burst open.

Oh my god.

Nikki was dragging Malia into the pool area by her arm. Malia was protesting but Nikki continued dragging her with a scowl on her face.

We all stood up and watched them with wide eyes. "Nikki, what the hell are you doing?!" Zane asked beside me.

Nikki just stood plainly. "She's going to tell us where Ace is." She replied simply.

What?

"Like hell I am." Malia spat. She seemed more calm now.

"How are you going to get her to talk?" Armani asked.

Nikki shrugged. "Easy." Nikki turned and pushed Malia straight into the pool. I gaped at her.

Oh my god. Nikki was pretty pissed. I guess this is how she handled her anger.

Malia resurfaced from the water and glared at Nikki. "Are you insane?!" She screamed.

"You don't know how insane I can be." Nikki said lowly. "Zane, get your ass over here."

Zane just raised his eyebrows at her. "Excuse me?"

"I said get your ass over here- Now!" Nikki yelled.

"I would go if I were you." Ali mumbled to Zane.

He slowly stood up and walked over to Nikki. What is she planning to do?

I felt my eyes shift.

Lets see.....what could she...

Oh god.

She going to Electrocute Malia. She's going to use Zane's power.

Nikki took Zane's arm and they both knelt down. Nikki took Zane's hand and put it in the water.

"Oh my god." Armani mumbled.

Nikki spoke again. "Now, tell me what the hell is going on with Ace?" She spoke low.
