Admiring Who? {Short story} {On Hold}

Chapter eight: Too committed

------------with Hannah and Felicity--------

''Hey, don't you think that maybe Hiro is the secret admirer?'' Felicity asked, as she blushed slightly. She adjusted the material on the dress, and looked back at Hannah. Hannah was too busy itching her sides, to even notice that Felicity was there.

''Tch.'' Hannah grumbled. ''This material is driving me insane.''

''Hannah, if i give you a change of clothes to wear, will you focus?''
She immediately caught her attention.

''Deal!'' She handed Hannah the outfit that she had in her bag, and watched as she ran to the
bathroom. After she got changed, she examined herself in the nearby mirror. She was so focused on getting the itchy dress off, that she failed to notice that she was wearing a Banana costume. She looked utterly hilarious. She looked at the banana costume on her, and then came out hysterical. ''Why is this all you had to change into?''

''I felt like pranking you.'' Felicity shrugged and giggled mischievously.

''How did you know any of this was going to happen..?''

''I'm glad you asked.'' She smirked as she continued to explain,''I put itching powder in your dress knowing that you already did not like the dress. Then, I bought a banana costume, and had Kierstein pair you up with me. You are welcome. Also, you are stuck...''

''W-Felicityy! Why did you put glue in here?!''

"Gorilla glue.'' Felicity corrected, as an evil grin spread across her face.

''Why did you do this?''

''Do you not remember the prank incident of 2013?''

''Felicity, why would I remember th-ohhh...''

''You literally filled my entire bottle of expensive lotion with instant tanning cream. I was half tan- and half pale for three whole weeks. Three weeks! Then, you filled my shampoo bottles with glue, and sand. You do not know how painful and uncomfortable that was. Then the next year was eve-''

''Okay. Okay. I am sorry... Can you take me out now? I have to go to the bathroom.''

''Nope. Anyways, let's go and find some clues.''

''...fine.''

----------------with Kierstein and Jaylen----------------

''Do you really think that they will focus, and find some clues?'' Jaylen asked Kierstein suddenly, as they turned the corner to try and meet Davis.

''Not really.'' She replied honestly. ''I guess we will have to find some ourselves.''

''Ok.''
The girls spotted Davis, talking to some of his friends.

''Helloooo Davis.'' Jaylen began. ''We just have some questions to ask.''

''What are-Who the heck are ya'll? Why are you at my party? And why are you guys matching? It is creepy.'' He asked in response, nervous.

''We are friends of felicitys..'' Kierstein paused, looking for a reaction from the scared boy. He suddenly calmed himself a little bit at that comment. ''We were not invited, but that is not going to stop us. Answer our questions and then we will leave.''

''Ok...let's go somewhere in private though. Follow me.'' He commanded. The girls followed him into a backroom, past the party area. He opened the door to reveal a room that was most likely his. It was spacious, with a big bed and clean furniture. Dark grey and Blue colors were plastered on all of the walls in the room. He sat himself down on the bed gently, and then gestured for them to do the same. They obeyed politely and then began.

''Answer all of these questions honestly.''

''Got it.''

''Do you have a crush on my friend?''

''If you mean Felicity, no. Her and I are just really good friends. Although my friends try to tease us into being something more. I kinda feel bad that she also has to endure that. It gets pretty annoying.'' He answered honestly. ''Any other questions?''

''Do you have any clues for us?'' Jaylen jumped in suddenly.

''Clues? What do y- Oh, how did you know about the treasure hunt?''

''Umm.. Your pet-Your dad told us.'' She lied nervously. ''That's all we know though. I am excited to participate in it though.''

''Interesting..'' He mumbled, as he casted her a disbelieving expression. It was evident that he was not buying it. ''So, you guys are just going to stick around my party which, may I remind you, you were not invited to?''

''Yes... but I did get you a gift...It is the least that I can do...'' Kierstein said, as she dug through her pockets for money. Her hands finally reached a big stack of cash that she had forgotten about. Without counting it, she handed the stack to the shocked boy. He quickly counted the cash, and then paled.

''1,946-no, 1,945 dollars!'' Davis exclaimed shocked, after taking like ten minutes to count the stack.

''Geez Kierstein.'' Jaylen mumbled. ''You are too committed.''
