The Girl They Never Noticed

Chapter 43

"Uh, guys!" I screamed for the twentieth time, trying to get their attention.

Both officers were screaming at Jace and Ashton to put down the fire crackers before they burn the house.

I swear, I'm friends with nincompoops.

Allow me to set the scene.

Sabrina and Brenda flipped a couch and were hiding behind it, pillows covering their heads.

I wonder what that's gonna protect.

Anyways.

McDaniels was holding a metal tray to protect himself from the sparks.

"Ross put that thing down before we all die in here!" He said, raising the tray to his face.

Aaron was huddled in the corner of the room, behind the suicidal maniacs we call friends. He held his knees to his chest, as he prayed to dear God to get him out of there alive.

Sebastian was behind an armchair. He looked absolutely done with life. He just sat there, crossing his leg.

Jace and Ashton both had a ton of firecrackers tied to a string and were both just spinning them around. Sparks flew everywhere to the point where it almost started a fire.

"Hey bro?!" Said Jace, as he turned around like the idiot that he always will be.

"Yeah bro?" Replied Ashton, trying to balance himself so he wouldn't fall from the dizziness.

"Do you think Taylor Swift would make us famous?"

"I don't know. Why?"

"Because we brought her song to life."

"Which one?"

"Duh! Sparks fly!"

All Jaycee did was laugh so hard he fell on his shoulder and it started to hurt him again.

Note to self: make him an arm sling.

Without thinking, I ran to the kitchen. It took me about three different turns to get there. I searched four cabinets before I finally found a huge pot. I filled it with water, then ran straight towards the living room.

I passed Brenda and Sabrina, pushed McDaniels to the side, and stopped in front of the spinning clowns.

One...

Two...

Three...

I poured the entire pot of cold water on them. The girliest, most unholy shriek left both of their mouths simultaneously.

"What the- Lexi!! What on earth was that for?!" Screamed Jace.

"You were going to burn the house down! I don't know about you buddy, but I've had enough encounters with death to last me a lifetime!" I screamed.

"Oh God this is classic." Laughed Jaycee as he held his phone. "If you heard yourself screaming, you would've buried your heads for three years!"

"Why the hell would you even take a video of that?..." trailed Ashton. Then his eyes widened in realization. "Dude! Last time he took a video of me, he threatened me into doing a lot of things! He even made me wear a cheerleading outfit into the boys' locker room!" He said to Jace, who also widened his eyes so big I thought they would've popped off.

Before anyone could react, a huge pillow fell on both boys, causing them to slip on the water around them and they both fell on their back.

"If anyone one of you losers even thinks about doing something like that again, I'll be throwing a whole damn couch next time! Dimwits!" Said Brenda, as Sabrina held her back from charging at them.
