" Thank you all for coming," I say straight faced.
Myah, Mellow, Ailani, and Chill all sat in a Bean-bag chair. Mellow was still eating on a fruit cup of course. Myah rubbed her stomach, because she still had morning sickness. Aliani was reading a book on her tablet. And Chill was just picking at her finger nails.
" So I asked you all here to watch this video." I turned on the video of Noni talking to Dania. Everyone looked up. As it went off my jaw clenched.
" I'm glad I got your attention," I sighed.
" Impossible. She's the one that did that to Juna!" Ailani yells.
" No way, that could have been somebody else," Mellow says confused.
" Well she is!" I yell in all my anger. There was no being Mr. Nice guy anymore. I furrowed my eyebrow. I had to take a breath before I went any further. Myah stood up and came to stand next to me. She rubbed my back.
" All I want is her head on a plate," I admit. Myah's hand stops.
" What do you mean," Myah ask.
" She took my brother's life. I refuse to sit back and do nothing."
" Ailani, your my bestfriend, you need to be with me on this."
" So what do we do," Ailani ask.
" You aren't seriously encouraging her to do this, are you," Mellow questioned.
" We've been through a lot and I just don't think trying to get revenge is going to back any of us feel better," Myah says.
" So the vote is two on two. What do you think Chill? Even though your answer is going to be obvious."
Chill hesitates before saying anything. It was the first time any of us had seen her think about something.
" I say we do it," she said.
" So the vote is out we get revenge," I sigh.
" This is crazy. We don't we just take it to the police," Myah pouts.
" She deserves far worst then jail. She deserves to be humiliated for the rest of her life. Now if it was your family what would you do? Sit back and take it? Or get the best possible revenge." Everyone just looks at each other. Ailani comes to stand be my side.
" I'm in, what about you guys?"
" I don't know guys," mellow shakes his head.
" I'm in," Chill agrees.
" I'm starting to think me and Mellow the only ones with common sense right now."
" Open your eyes Myah! This isn't about making sense. This is about wrong and right."
" And doing this is wrong!"
" No! Doing this is justice!" We eye each other.
She looked at me, a face full of worry. I was angry. More, and more every single day.
" she's right I'm in," Mellow admitted.
" Mellow!"
" Myah. Just think about it. We all loved Juna as if he were our brother."
The room went silent. We all looked at one another. It was now or never to get the brains behind my operation. I had Ailani and Mellow, but Myah was good with placing and detail.
" F.E.A.R... other wise known as fear..... and." I stopped,because I wasn't as good at quoting as much as Ailani was. " It has two meanings. Forget everything and run. Or face everything and rise. The choice is yours."
I walked toward the art door. I had everyone on my side. I was hoping that by the time I opened the door she would say wait! Or I'll do it. But she didn't.
I opened the door. " Your more then welcome to leave. We've got plans to make."
" My whole life has been around you guys... but now.. your all just losing it."
She walked to stand in front of me.
" What happen to you most of all." With those words she left. My jaw clenched again. Wasn't the most comfortable feeling in the world, but it helped.
" Alright let's get down to business. We have homecoming, coming up plus the play. So once the play is out of the way, our plans go full throttle and you beat that I'll be there."
" So what's the actual plan," Chill spoke.
" First full sentence I heard you say in a long time," I say pulling out a piece of paper.
I unfold the paper.
" Embarrass Noni so bad that death would be her only friend to talk to," Ailani reads.
" Wait how do you plan on doing that," Mellow ask.
" Well you all know the story of Carrie right? Well I've given it some thought and came up with the perfect idea. Listen closely."
Meanwhile( Myah pov)
I walked out of the classroom angry. I can't believe this. How could they all join her in doing something so stupid. It's just ridiculous. I didn't know the plan and well, I didn't want to.
" Hey Myah. You study for my quiz today," Ms.Mangan snapped me out of my daze.
" Oh yeah, real hard. Made sure that every word went through my brain cells lines," I was just prattling.
" It's ok if you haven't, but you should. This week's quiz won't be easy."
She had no idea how much in my head I wanted to flush her quiz papers down the toilet. And then after that set a couple of fire. Then yell " Opps.. you can't be late to class because you always say.. don't be tardy class is a party." She wouldn't be able to make copies fast enough and then the printer broke down which means! Drum roll please... we got away with not testing.I hated testing so much.
Before she walks away she turns to me. " Oh and don't forget to be on time. Class is a party," she laughed. See what I mean!
Although she might have known how I felt, because she really only made corny jokes when she seen me upset. I couldn't stay mad if I tried when it came to her.
I was so deep in my thought that I bumped into someone.
" Ouch," I winced.
" I'm so sorry," I deep voice said. I looked up to see Lance. The biggest, but hunkiest geek in school who didn't play a sport. He was in anime club! Of all things. That fine, still watching cartoons. He was actually the only guy in school I never tried to talk to.
" It's ok. I'm always roaming with no direction. It's nice to see that you still go here though."
" Thanks. It's good to see you. We've had a rough year as a football team."
" And we as friends. But we hold on you know."
" Yeah. We're always here for a friends. No matter what the problem."
He made sense. As he walked away it made me think about a lot. Every single word made sense. I went back to the art room. I stared through the art window. 'We're here for our friends no matter what.'
I guess it's time for me to be there for mine.
