Sweet Lies | Nathan Young [Misfits]

"She's never late." Kelly mused with a suspicious look.

Simon swallowed with difficulty. "I think she's gone on holiday."

"Did she tell you that?" Curtis asked with a raised eyebrow.

"She said she was going to Greece."

"No..." Curtis shook his head. "They would've sent someone to cover her."

"Okay, who murdered our probation worker this time?" Jade joked, and Simon burst in a fit of coughs.

"We should phone probation headquarters and get them to send someone down here now to supervise us." Nathan said as he shook a snack distributor. "Fuck!"

He started groaning as he shook the distributor while the others watched him with a tired look.

"Well, this is intense." Curtis deadpanned.

Nathan took a few steps back, and Jade's eyes widened.

"Don't, Nathan!" Kelly yelled, but he ignored her as he ran to hit the distributor with his shoulder.

He let out a yell of victory when snacks fell down.

"Can you get me a can of Coke?" She asked.

Alisha rolled her eyes and left, and a woman passed by them as she followed her. The woman caught Jade's attention, and she frowned when she recognized her.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Jade gumbled, and Curtis looked at the brown haired woman.

"You know her?"

She rolled her eyes. "She came to me at the bar and was just a complete arsehole to me."

"She's probably part of that group of freaks." He mused, and she nodded.

"Oh, definitely."

The next day, they were all shocked to find Alisha hanging out with the strange group.

"She's saying all this weird stuff about sex and that. She's saying she's saving herself until she's ready for proper commitment." Curtis said with a frown.

Nathan dramatically sighed. "It's a sad day for all of us. When a bird like that decides to pull up her knickers."

Jade threw him an annoyed look and he smirked in answer.

"You do realise that's my girlfriend you're talking about?" Curtis grumbled.

"And I feel your pain." He said with a hand over his chest.

Alisha passed by, completely transformed. She had no makeup or jewelry on, and she was wearing a cardigan with a long skirt.

"They did something to her." Curtis said.

"What, like brainwashing or something?" Kelly asked.

"Maybe someone has a power." Jade said  with a thoughtful look.

"It's the storm." Simon quipped in.

"How d'you know that?" Nathan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You don't know that?" Simon asked. "When weird stuff happens, it's always the storm. Haven't you worked that out yet."

Jade, Kelly and Curtis nodded in agreement.

"He's got a point." Curtis said.

Nathan scoffed. "Did you just suddenly grow a set of balls?"

"I've always had a set of balls. You've just never seen them." Simon scowled.

Nathan barked a laugh. "This is about the gayest thing I've ever heard."
