"Okay guys, there's still fifteen minutes left of class. Stay
with me please" Ms. Harding, my History teacher, shouts over us to be
heard. Ugh. These fifteen minutes are going to go by so slowly too. Especially
since it's the class before lunch. I didn't even eat breakfast since I was too
busy copying my bio and Spanish homework in the library. There is like a group
of us just sharing answers. It's like a study shesh but not really. Shhhh,
don't tell Shane. It's our secret.
"Since it's almost the end of the month, an extra credit
opportunity is available. If you want to participate, you are more than
welcome. I want a one-page paper about the importance of synonyms and antonyms.
Provide different examples of words and their meanings. I want the paper on my
desk by the end of the week. Remember, no late work is accepted. There is ten
minutes left of class. Pack up and talk QUIETLY please" Ms. Harding tells
us. I roll my eyes. Quietly? Yeah sure. I close my notebook and jam it into my
purple backpack.
"Hmph. Did you see the note that Greyson threw me during
class?" Amber huffs sitting down on the floor next to my desk. We used to
sit by each other but we got separated. Something about talking too much in
class. Whatever. Ugh.
"Nope. What'd it say? Let me guess, bow down to me?" I
ask.
"Ha, no!!! A picture of a stick figure girl that had loser
above it and then a stick figure guy with a crown and winner above him. Grrrr.
He pisses me off so much. I'll show those pricks a thing or two about whose
boss" Amber grumbles while picking up her cell phone. I roll my eyes. He's
a jerk but I'm not sure why he bothers her so much. I guess Greyson's just one
of those people for her. Trust me, I have too many of those kinds of people on
my bad list. The cafeteria lady on Wednesday mornings who gives everyone the
evil eye, my step family (obviously), my dentist who always pokes my gums and
makes then bleed, the-
"I got it! I know exactly what I'm going to do for my extra
credit. Look at the different synonyms for the word high horse" Amber says
shoving her phone in my face.
"Geeze, I wonder how you thought up such a word?" I say in
fake amazement I grab her phone and look at the screen. I saw the words
arrogant, asshole, conceded, egotistical, cheesy Chihuahua. What the heck?? I
click on the last word to see what it means. According to urban dictionary,
cheesy Chihuahua is a loud, obnoxious person. Well that fits Greyson and his
posse. I guess I learned something new today. I can't wait to test Morgan about
this word. She thinks she is a spelling bee champion or something.
"Let me tell you girlfriend, it wasn't intentional. Just
kidding, it was. I actually looking for ways to get people off there high horse
when I saw the online dictionary" Amber says laughing slightly. I hand her
the phone back before Ms. Grumpy pants Harding sees it and gives us another
detention. So what I don't need; especially a sore ass for being late to
practice.
"So where you successful in finding 'ways'?" I ask as the
bells rings. Finally!! I need something yummy in my tummy. Um, why did I just
say that? Never again, Bailey.
"Oh yeah! You and the girls are soooo going to help me with it
too" Amber says with a smirk. I wonder what she has planned???"So
what exactly do you have planned?" Morgan asks Amber as we are changing
for practice.
"Okay so if you haven't noticed, but Greyson and his dumb
soccer buddies totally think they are the bomb. So I want to knock them off
their high horse asses!" Amber says slamming her fist into her palm in
devotion.
"How are you going to do that?" Cassie asks next.
Seriously, I want that answer too. Amber wouldn't tell me while we were getting
lunch and I couldn't continue to ask when we sat down for other reasons. Cough
cough Shane and his friends cough. Soooo I'm more than ready to hear what she
has to say. Patience isn't a strong point of mine.
"I was thinking that we have to do something that will come at
a huge surprise. So how about this: we pelt them with a ton of water balloons.
They won't even know what's coming" Amber says with a smirk while thinking
about her plan. The locker room is silent before I burst out laughing. Cassie
and a few other girls soon join me. That's her big plan?? Amber frowns.
"What's so funny?" She asks with a scowl.
"I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be mean but I was expecting
something a little more...." I trail of trying to find the right word.
Dangerous? Maybe. Fun? Nah. Badass? Hmmm.
"Worth it. Considering that whoever does go along with this
"plan" of yours might end up ticking off certain people" Morgan
says looking at me. I glare and stick my tongue out at her; in which she
returns at me. Yeah, we're real mature sometimes.
"I was going for the words awesome and creative. But thanks for
your input Morgan" I say the last part sarcastically. She just grins.
"I agree with those two. If it's going to happen, it better be
a lot better and worth it. I ain't getting my butt spanked for nothing"
Cassie says putting her thick black hair into a bun. Amber scoffs.
"Do you guys have any better ideas?" Ambers asks us. You
just asked the wrong person, honey. There is no soccer angels holding me back.
"Actually I do. I definitely like the part of having something
put on them as they are least expecting it. But it needs to be a little more
secretive" I tell them.
"And something other than water" Cassie adds grinning. I
nod my head in agreement.
"Also, it needs be done by something that they least
expect" Morgan adds. I look at her in surprise. She usually doesn't
participate in these kinds of shenanigans.
"You’re going to do it?" I ask her. She shrugs.
"I can't stand Greyson's bloating. He thinks he is all that
because he is a freshman playing in varsity. Big whoop" she replies. I
can't believe the other girls are getting this worked up about this. I say flip
them the bird and move on. BUT.... I can't let a good mean plan pass by me.
Heehee. It's like a can't resist.
"I agree which is the perfect reason to do this. This is going
to be sweet" Amber says excitedly.
"I don't think you guys should be doing this. It's mean"
Lola comments from the corner. Sigh. There is always that one person.
"Lola, that's the point" I say while rolling my eyes.
Where not doing this to gain brownie points, dumbo.
"Come on Lola, live a little. Its a harmless joke" Nelly
says. Lola doesn't seem so sure. She bites her lip and looks away. Well, it's
her loss if she doesn't want to do it with us. We couldn't continue with planning
because Becca and Tiffany walked in.
"Girls, let's go!! Coach is ready and waiting for us in the
field" Becca tells while clapping her hands. We all stand up from our
lounging positions and head for the door. I guess we'll have to talk details
later.
