I'm sorry for posting late. I came home late last night and I was really tired. Thanks for reading and your support.
Luke's POV
We change into work clothes and immediately get down to work with the guys teasing me continuously on how I am scared of perfectly harmless girls.
It has only been fifteen minutes guys give it some time.
After about ten minutes more, the gate opened and a sleek, red, convertible, drives in, slowing down to park. The engine dies down and a couple of clicks are heard. The door to the passenger seat opens and a little kid gets out looking a bit shy. She continuously blinks her long eye lashes which are pale blonde like her curly hair which glitters in the afternoon sun. She is dressed in a light baby blue gown with a hat - same colour as the gown - shielding her head from the sun.
She kind of looks Asian.
She seems to notice me and the guys watching her. She looks down blushing slightly with a cute smile on her cheeks revealing dimples on either side of her cheeks.
I almost start awwing like Dave, when the door to the driver's seat opens and Leah steps out, sporting, an identical, coloured gown - with the exception of it being sleeveless - to the little girl's own.
She runs a hand through her blonde hair which is straight unlike the little girl's. She sees us staring and waves at us with a smile on her face. She then proceeds to lock her car, pick up the little girl who waves at us as they climb up the stairs.
" wow! Leah's sister is so cute. " Dave says smiling slightly.
" aww Dave has a crush on a little kid." Jack says in a girly voice.
Dave gasps deeply, turning red in the face and yells " I do not! "
Russ starts singing " Dave and a little kid kissing on the tree..." Dave grabs a rake starts chasing Russ around the house, while Russ decides to raise his voice "K...I...S...S...I...N...G!"
We've barely gotten back to work when we hear the front door open, followed by giggling.
Soon enough, Linda and her friends, step out, having the normal, girly, chit chat, which makes them erupt in another fit of giggles as they head to Leah's car. They bring out bags upon bags, filled with things which they carried up the stairs.
For what appears to be the fifth time, Leah heads down to her car to get more bags, except this time she's accompanied by her little sister.
" is there anything I can carry for you? " the little girl asks as Leah locks the car carrying two bags.
" No, this is all of it " she replies.
Climbing the stairs the little girl tries waving at us but mistakenly bumps into her sister.
Some container falls out of one bag, rolls down the lawn, stopping next to my feet.
I pick it up to hand it to the little girl but not before reading what was on the pack.
When Leah's sister comes down the to the lawn, she doesn't look up to my eyes but shyly asks
" can I please have my gum? "
I hand it to her but not before asking " what's your name? "
" my name's Becky and I'm six years old "
" really ? " well what are you doing with gum? "
" my homework "
" I see" she takes the gum and runs up stairs, closing the door behind her.
Dave was rolling the dirt filled wheelbarrow towards the garbage can at the back, when I asked him. " Dave your brother is six right?"
" yep" he replies dropping the handle of the wheelbarrow.
" do you buy industrial gum for him to do his assignment? "
" No" he simply replied and started wheeling again.
Then what is little Becky doing with industrial gum.
I look towards the house and standing at the window, staring out at us with an expressionless look, is none other than Becky.
She smirks slightly at me, then immediately Russ and Jack catch sight of her, she's all smiles, blushing so innocently. Then she waves and closes the window curtain.
" Guys? I think that little girl is in on whatever they're planning."
" Luke!" all the guys including Dave who was back now yell out of frustration.
But I just know that something is going down.
~ ~ ~
" She looked so innocent. " Dave says for the third time since we got to school that day.
" how could something so small be so evil? " Russ asks once more.
Yeah at this rate, we'll forever be discussing this.
" at least you believe me now. You only got the tip of the ice berg." I say fuming all over again. " they glued my tires to the ground after they punctured them with nails. I have to buy a new set of tires "
" you think that is bad? What of my hair which still smells like rotten eggs?" Jack asks taking off his cap.
Yeah he's right that still stinks.
" please put that back on. It already smells bad enough with the cap on." I tell him almost choking on the putrid smell.
" at least you didn't have live worms poured in your hair. I think I still feel a few moving in my hair."
" they burned me with hot water." Dave says pouting and obviously fuming.
" I did warn you not to get in the shower."
" I was trying to get rid of the blood from all those paper cuts I'd gotten from the trap set by that little girl."
" I didn't trust her but yet I still fell for her stupid trick. My back is practically pounding from the pain of my clothes sticking to my back because of the industrial gum. " I place my fingers on my back and the pain is indeed still evident. I grunt and quickly remove my hand.
After a few seconds of silence, Dave clears his throat and looks at me swallowing deeply. " uhm, Luke, I know we're supposed to be helping you out but I'm not sure I'm ready to go through that again."
" yeah I'm sorry man you're on your own." Russ adds taking his things out of his locker.
" seriously?" I say not believing what I was hearing.
Jack opens his mouth to say something but shuts it.
" Let me guess you're also gonna leave me standing alone on this one."
" no way , of course I'm gonna stick by you man."
" at least I know one of you has the sense and loyalty to follow me there tomorrow. "
" actually that is not what I meant. I also like my life and that Esperanza is plain evil. "
I just roll my eyes.
" but I do have a plan to get back at them." he says smirking like a mad genius.
That picks at my interest and I'm more than tempted to find out what exactly his plan is. " so what have you come up with?"
" it's real simple actually. keep your friends close and your enemy closer."
After a few seconds of silence, Jack doesn't seem to be getting the fact that we want him to continue.
" well ? " I ask out of frustration.
" you're gonna dig up dirt on Linda and then we can see where we go from there."
Okay, maybe he is a mad genius.
" but how exactly is he gonna do that Dave asks sounding confused.
Dave is right. How the hell I'm I supposed to do that?
" simple , he pretends to make friends with her."
" no way. You can kill me, torture me worse than they have though I don't see how that's going to happen, I'm not going to make friends with her."
" like I said pretend . That's not too difficult for you to do is it?" Jack asks narrowing his eyes at me.
" what are you going to do with the dirt we dig on her?" Russ asks raising an eyebrow.
Jack rolls his eyes. " like that wasn't obvious, expose it, of course."
" isn't that a little too mean?" Dave asks sounding wary.
" if they get to play dirty, why don't we?" is the last question Jack asks as we head to class.
I don't know about the guys but I don't think I'll feel good about the things I'll find out.
