When Mrs. Nickolson got to her car, Andre smiled with anticipation, and I
watched emotionless. I was pretty much shocked with myself. Mrs. Nickolson
stood there, looking at her car. Then she broke down. She cried and put her
head down on her car, hitting it with her fist. She cried her heart out, and
all I could do was watch. Andre's smile went away quickly, and he too
realized what he did. She slowly got into her car and sadly drove away. I
stood up and Andre did too.

"What did I just do?" I said to myself aloud.

"We.. we gave that bi-bitch what she deserved, right?" he said. I looked at
him with rage in my eyes.

"No, we didn't do anything. You did, and I was only a tag along." I said in a
mean voice.

"Well you helped, whether you like it or not." he said.

"Whatever, I'm leaving." I said, turning to walk away.

"Can a guy hitch a ride home?" he asked, following behind me.

"Can a guy walk home?" I asked him.

"Yeah, if it's not more than a mile away." he answered. We got to my car and
he hopped in. "Nice ride." he said. I sat in silence as I put my stuff in the
backseat and started the smooth engine. I backed out of the park and we bagan
our trip home. I let him out at his house and I went home for a long day
tomorrow.


Revenge 5
   News


    I got home and practiced my lines for the play, but I couldn't help
feeling bad for Mrs. Nickolson, and knowing that I was a part of it didn't
help. Just then, my phone line rang. I answered.

"Hello?" i said.

"Yo, it's me, Will."

"Oh, wassup, man? You won't believe what I went through tonight."

"What happened?"

"Well, Andre found out about us. He heard us talking at rehersal."

"What? What did he do?"

"Just blackmailed me into making Mrs. Nickolson feel like shit."

"Ah, man, what did ya'll do?"

"Well, after detention, we snuck in the principal's office through the
window, and Andre said `Watch this, yo.` He got on the phone and ordered alot
of pizzas, under Mrs. Nickolson's name, and had them delivered to Mrs.
Nickolson's room!"

"No way, man."

"For real. A little bit later, he got on the PA system, called Mrs.
Nickolson's room, and told everyone to 'party'. He kept the PA system on so
we could listen in on them. Obviously, she went to the door, and the pizza
guy was there. Andre was laughing his ass off. Everything got quiet, and then
we heard keys jingling in the door. I was so freaked that I jumped into the
principal's closet. I heard the door open and after a minute, it closed back
and the lights went off. I came out and Andre popped out from under the
desk."

"Yea, yea.."

"We jumped out the window and Andre threw eggs at her car. When she came out,
she cried and stuff, then drove away."

"Dawn, that guy is a freak."

"Who you tellin?"

"Anywayz, about the play, I can't make it over tonight, so just practice and
hope to do a good job tomorrow."

"Aiight, boi. Want a ride to school tomorrow?"

"Sure."

"Aiight, see ya."

"See ya stud."

*cLiCk*

  I practiced and practiced and practiced until I got tired. I wonder what
Andre would pull next. I didn't know. I just went to bed.

---------

   I turned off my alarm clock and sat up in my bed. It was the big day. I
stood up and looked in my closet, got my school clothes and costume, and took
my half-naked body to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and dressed. I
spiked my hair and went downstairs. My mom was making breakfast, but I told
her I couldn't eat. She said that she'd be by the school to watch the show,
and I said 'Ok'. I gave her a kiss and went outside. I called Will on my
cellphone and told him that I was on my way, considering I woke up late. I
jumped in my jeep and headed to Will's house. On the way, my cellphone rang.
I turned my CD player down and answered.

"Hello?"

"How's my boy on his big day?" a familiar voice asks. It was my dad!

"Fine, Dad," I said, "but I'm not little anymore."

"Yea, I know. Listen, I'm--"

"Not gonna be able to come to the show. I already knew that." I said.

"Are you gonna be OK?"

"Yeah, Its no big deal. Mom's gonna record it with the camcorder, so I'll
send you a copy."

"Well, how about you bring it to me yourself?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I got a surprise for you. I sent you some plane tickets through FedEx
yesterday, so they should be at your house today."

"Plane tickets? To where?"

"You are coming to Hawaii for a celebration party!"

"Hawaii? Are you serious? Your job sent you to Hawaii?"

"No, I used some of my vacation days, so me and you could go to Hawaii."

"For real?"

"Yeah!"

"Aiight, thanks Dad! I'm on my way to school right now. Can you call back
later?"

"Sure can! This'll be a trip you'll never forget!"

"Bye."

"Bye."

  I hung up. I was so excited about this trip. I arrived at Will's house and
blew the horn. Will came running out and we left.

"I'm goin' to Hawaii!"

"No way, when?"

"I dunno yet."

"Cool! What are we gonna do about Andre?" He asked. He was always the one to
burst someone's bubble.

"I dunno. Tell him to fuck off I guess." I said.

"He could ruin us, man!" he said.

"C'mon, it's the last day of school, and the day of the play. I hope you know
your lines. We are gonna tear this thing up!"

"And maybe before you leave, I could tear you up." he smirked. I grinned.

"We'll see."

We pulled into the school's parking lot and I locked and activated the alarm
on my car. We headed to the entrance, and Andre, standing with his 3 football
buddies, gave us a funny look. I shook it off, but don't think Will did. We
went into the school and went to our classes, which for me, was music class.
It was a half day, so in music, we watched a boring music movie. I was
thinking about Will, Hawaii, dad, Andre, and Mrs. Nickolson. I really felt
bad for her.

***

"Excuse me, but will all of the `Dead Pool` actors report to the auditorium
at this time. I repeat, will...." the PA system went on. I got up, along with
2 others, and we headed to the auditorium. I met Will there.

"Wassup?" he said.

"Nuttin, ready for the show." I said.

"Me too." he replied.

"Will everyone gather around me, I have some important news about one of out
teachers, Mrs. Nickolson." Mr. Ferg said. My heart skipped a beat when I
heard her name. What I was a part of flashed through my head over and over
again. Andre shot me a glance and I merely looked back at him.

"As you know, Mrs. Nickolson was scheduled to open our show tonight. But she
will not be here this afternoon. She has asked to be counted out, due to the
fact that she is under alot of pressure. Her husband is terribly ill, her
foreign class is a charade, and she just lost her night time job, due to her
being late again. She is emotionally distrought, and it will be nice of you
if you decide to offer your support to her and her family."

  As if I already felt bad about what happened, this made me feel 10 times
worse. She lost her second job because of what happened last night, and we
all know that she wasn't blessed in the financial department. And her husband
being sick, that had to be hard enough on her. What we did last night didn't
help her at all. That explains why she broke down like she did. She finally
cracked. I felt really bad.

"You guys change into your costumes and reherse for about an hour. Your lunc
hes have been delivered, and try not to get your costumes messy! C'mon
people, we have a show to prepare for!" Mr. Ferg said.

Andre walked past me and Will and said "Why don't you two share a dressing
room?" I gave him a look that could kill, and Will stepped toward him.

"What are you gonna do, sissy?" Andre said, smiling. I put my hand on his
shoulder and pulled him back.

"That's what I thought." Andre said. He walked away, laughing.

"Don't worry about that piece of shit." I said.

"What he said sounded fun, though. Yoo bad we can't really share." Will
answered.

"Yea, yea. Let's get ready for the show." I said.
