Chap50

Nicole POV:

I can't stop thinking about the disappointed look on Jake's face. It  was so easy pranking him but I need to prepare for mine too. I cannot be pranked! But Caden looks dangerous and I haven't seen him around too. What is he up to?

"Oh my Gosh! Did you see Jake's face?"Kimberly says through laughs.

Troy doubles over laughing.

" you two are wicked. The guy almost fainted "Melissa scoffs.

I laugh.

" but he didn't Melissa" Alec chirps.

"I liked the part about the dolls! Good going Kim" Claire gushes.

"I loved that prank! It was marvellous" Jenna follows.

"So which class do you have Nikki?" Alec asks me.

"Calculus"

"I also have the same class" Alec says

"Me too" Jenna follows.

"I also have Calculus" Kimberly gushes.

"I guess we will see you guys later" Claire says

"Yeah" Kimberly replies and we walk to Calculus class.

"See ya" Melissa says and they leave.

When I infiltrate into the classroom, the first person I see is Cody. My blood runs cold as I look at him. Our eyes lock and he smirks at me knocking the shit out of me. If Cody had this effect on me, how much more the other one. His name even scares the hell out of me. Caden!

"You are gonna freeze if you keep on looking at Cody love!" Alec whispers in my ear.

I smile but my eyes are still glued to Cody's. Something about them tells a story I cannot decipher.

Beside Cody sat Jake. He looked furious. I guess its because we pranked him. Behind him sat the girl with the blue hair. I wonder who she is. I've never seen her around. I sit by Alec and Kimberly sits by Jenna behind us.

"I didn't freeze after all" I boast and Alec chuckles.

"I just said that because...." Alec trails off contemplating on what to say next.

"Because?"

"Well, I'll admit I was a bit jealous" Alec says and I chuckle.

"I was just looking at him!" I defend

"I know but something about how your eyes connected gave me this weird feeling" Alec says and I roll my eyes.

"You need to think about Madison too. Remember?"

Alec sighs deeply

"I know. I told my parents yesterday" he says with a frown

"You did? What was their reaction? I know it was hard for you"

Alec nods miserably.

"They were quite disappointed! Especially my mom. She was worried you would find out but I told her, you already found out"

"What about your dad?"

"He wasn't happy with it. He said he's gonna tell his friend and they'll find a way out"

I sigh.

"But don't worry Nikki! Madison is a good person" Alec says recovering

But he doesn't love her. That's the problem.

"Alec! Can I ask you something?"I say trying to change the subject.

" sure sugar! Anything"

"Who is the girl with the blue hair?" I ask and his gaze shifts to her.

"Sincerely, I don't know who she is! "

I sigh. I guess I wasn't the only one who did not know her.

"Why?" Alec asks

"Its nothing! I just wanted to know her name"

The tocsin goes and class begins.

🌹🌹🌹

"Come on Nikki! I doubt that there is something in your locker" Kimberly pressurizes.

Calculus class has ended and  I'm afraid to open my locker. Maybe Caden has something in there for me.

"Relax Kim! She needs to muster courage first!" Jenna scolds

I take a deep breath and grab the handle of my locker. I open it slowly and peep in. It was scary yet funny at the same time. I was frightened to open my own locker!

"See? Nothing!" Kimberly chides.

I heave a sigh of relief and dump my books into it. Then I took the books I needed and shut it tight.

I have English next. Alec, Jenna and Kimberly had different classes so I was left alone. I trudged through the hallways calculating my steps. I cannot fall for a prank! Not today or tomorrow!

I heaved a sigh of relief when I got to English class unharmed but that was only short lived. Caden sat at the back proudly with his eyes fixated on his phone. Cody was beside him writing something down on a piece of paper. These twins are really tormenting me. Alec's words keeps ringing in my head like a church bell.

"Yeah. I've heard a lot of rumours about them. Caden is the most dangerous. He is very treacherous and highly intelligent whiles Cody is calm but he's really smart and is a computer wizard as well"

I swallow hard. Cody spots me first and a mischievous smirk suddenly appears on his face. He calls his twin and he looks up from his phone. Our eyes lock and I feel like puking right now. He chuckles slightly. I wonder who is the eldest amongst the two. Is it Cody or Caden?

"Oh Nikki! You are here!" Someone calls and I spot Aaron walking towards me.

"I haven't seen you until now" Aaron grumbles.

"Yeah me too"I reply with a small smile at the same time stealing glances at the twins who were still watching me.

I plant myself on a chair and place my books on the table.

" I saw you prank Jake this morning"Aaron says with a chuckle.

"Yeah" I reply laughing at the memory.

"I guess Troy and Kimberly were behind it" Aaron says and I nod.

He sits beside me.

I continue to steal glances at the twins at the back throughout  our English lesson. Something about their demeanor tells me they have something in store for me.

The tocsin goes for lunch and people exit the classroom. The twins are chatting and laughing wickedly at the back making shivers run down my spine. No! I cannot be afraid of them!

"Look Caden! I can access this device by just tapping the green button and then boom!" Cody brags at the back showing his brother something on his phone.

"Yeah yeah I know! computer geek!" Caden spits sarcastically. His voice was deeper and much more huskier than Cody's.

Cody chuckles.

"I did it bro! I did it" Cody shrieks quite jubilant.

"Nikki!" Aaron snaps

"Oh Aaron!" I reply and sling my satchel hurriedly over my shoulder.

"You've been standing here, staring at those twins for a good five minutes"

"I .....I..." I trail off not knowing what to say.

"Do you have a crush on one of them?" Aaron asks. Jealousy evident in his tone.

"What? No!" I say with a smile and punch him on his arm.

"Tell me! Which one?" Aaron insists and I huff

"I don't have a crush on any of them"

Aaron smiles pleased.

"Let's get going then" he says and ushers me out of the room.

I feel better when I'm out of there. Especially out of sight of those twins. I open my locker tentatively and place my books into it.

So its lunch. Anything can happen at the cafeteria. I'm so anxious.

I leaned into Aaron knowing for sure if there is something against me, he will protect me.

I got to our table and a number of our friends were there.

We began to chat.

Jake sat with his gang members two tables away. They spied our table often and I wondered what they were up to now.

I quickly finished eating and went for my last lessons grateful it was closing time now. Nothing happened to me. Thank God.

I walked with my whole entourage to the parking lot. We were all  chuckling and cracking jokes until Danny yelled;

"My Bentley is taped!"

He hurries over to his car.

"Fuck! Its got balloons inside too" he hollered.

"My car is taped too" Troy yells standing beside his car.

"Mine too" Aaron yells

"With a whole lotta balloons in it" he adds

"What the fuck is happening! My car is also taped!" Kimberly yells.

My heart jumps into my throat.

"Well, I don't have a car so..." Melissa trails off

"Me too! Thank God" Claire says

"I have but I don't really like driving so its at home" Jenna follows.

What if my car was taped too? I ran and gasp when I see it. It was taped. Its a prank. Jake and his gang are behind this. Oh yeah! Caden's prank. He's so good!

How am I gonna go home now? Trina is waiting for me. And worse, there are balloons in the car too. How did they do it?

The students in the parking lot laugh. This is not funny!

"What do we do?" Kimberly shrieks

"This is codswallop!" Danny yells kicking his car angrily.

"Its solid tight! I cannot open my car door!" Troy grumbles.

"Who did this shit?" Aaron blurts.

Alec walks over.

"What's going on?" He asks

"Our cars are taped! That's what's going on!" Kimberly shouts agitated.

Alec inhales and looks over to his Buggati Chiron. Its also taped!

"Mine too is taped" he says with a heavy sigh.

"What do we do? I need to go home! I need to pick Trina"

"Relax Sugar! We will find a way. I told you Caden is very you know" Alec tells me and I huff.

Someone coughs and we spot Jake and his whole entourage walking towards us with wicked smiles on their faces.

"Ooh! Your cars got taped?" Kate says feigning hurt.

"You swine! You taped our cars didn't you?" Kimberly yells at her.

Kate makes a sound with her mouth at the same time shaking her head.

"I didn't do it" She says.

"How could you do this to us? What have we done wrong Jake?" Danny yells at him.

"Are you blaming me for your cars being taped?" Jake asks.

"We all know you are the one who did this" Troy yells.

Jake chuckles inwardly.

"I'm sorry but I'm not behind it. And I'm sorry your cars got taped" Jake says.

"What do you mean by you are not behind this?" Aaron demands.

"I never knew you could be such a jackass Jake! I hate you!" Alec blurts and Jake laughs.

"Its not new to me dear Alec! The sweet romantic Alec is now calling me a jackass! But I hated you before I even knew you" Jake states coldly.

"Enough okay? Just get these tapes off our cars! We have to go home you freaks!" I yell at them looking at Caden specifically. He had an evil smirk on.

Jake chuckles.

"Its not that easy! You see the tapes are very sticky so it will take a lot of time" Kate sneers at me.

"What the---" I blurt.

"Have you guys forgotten you pranked me this morning?" Jake asks pointing to Troy, Kimberly, Alec and me.

"We haven't!" Kimberly snaps indignant. Her face red as hell.

"I'm glad you haven't forgotten! Its pay back time" Jake clarifies and I snort.

"But we were not part!" Danny clarifies pointing to himself and Aaron.

"Ooh I'm sorry! But you are part of the gang and whatever someone does in the gang, it affects the whole gang!" The blue haired girl speaks up and I'm surprised. She had this Australian accent to her voice.

"Thanks Aurora!" Jake says and I know  her name now.

"Look! We are sorry okay? Just remove the tapes and let's go" Aaron begs.

Jake laughs.

"I love this moment! Aaron is begging?" Kate states.

"Caden! I know you are behind this you moron! Take the tapes off or...." I yell at him and he is appalled.

He smirks at me.

"Or what your highness?" He asks

I huff.

"Let's just get something to cut the tapes! They wouldn't remove them" Alec suggests glaring at them.

"Oh! I have scissors! Do you want to borrow them?" Kate suggests and my blood boils

"Shut up Kate!" Alec yells at her and I'm pleased

"I was just trying to help" Kate shrugs.

"You guys wouldn't be done cutting those tapes until morning" Cody speaks up.

"We don't care!" Kimberly spits and they chuckle.

I check my purse and I have pins inside. Pins? Like seriously? Okay I'll just try.

I try to use a pin to cut the tapes but they wouldn't budge.

"Damn! These tapes are strong!" I grumble under my breath and get up exhausted. This is the worst prank ever!  My phone rings and its Trina.

"Where are you?" She barks at the other end of the line.

"I'm sorry Trina but  a bunch of jerkos have got my car taped in the parking lot and I can't move it! Plus there are loads of balloons in it" I say loud enough for them to hear

Trina huffs.

"They pranked you?" She asks

"Yes! Call mom to pick you up okay?"

"Okay" she says and hangs up.

"Trina needs you?" Jake asks concerned. Now he is acting concerned?

"Its okay! My mom will pick her up" I reply without looking at him and concentrate on how to get these stupid tapes off my sleek car.

"Okay I think they need help guys" Aurora speaks up.

"Yeah! Prank is over! Everyone is gone" Cody agrees.

"No! Let them suffer!" Kate says with a smirk.

"I think its okay Kate! They need to go home and freshen up" Jake says

"Oh so you thought of that?" Alec snorts.

"You better keep your mouth shut dear brother or I'll withdraw my assistance" Jake threatens.

"I don't know what Lucas and Thomas would say about you if they find out you are this callous" Alec spits

Jake's jaw clenches. Melissa, Claire and Jenna are gone already. I didn't notice.

"Don't drag our little brothers into this!" Jake states sternly.

Alec smirks.

"At least, they are my favourite brothers in the world" Alec says and Jake chuckles.

"Alright! Whatever!"he spits and turns his attention to the rest of us.

" help them"he orders and Kate scoffs.

"I'll be glad to help you bro!" Jake taunts Alec

"I don't need your help!" Alec snaps.

"Nikki! Don't let them help you or else you can't get back at them" Alec warns.

"What's the point? We need to go home!" Kimberly yells

"I know but don't listen to him! Its a trap!" Alec says and Jake laughs.

I deflate.

"Good Gracious! Are you guys going to listen to my psychotic brother? He thinks he's so smart" Jake spits coldly.

"I just wanna go home! Whether helping or not helping!" Danny states and begins to remove the tapes on his car with his bare hands.

"I'm done!" Aaron hollers and we are all shocked. His car door is open and he has a proud smile on

"You removed the tapes?" Kimberly shrieks

"I guess" Aaron says proudly.

"See? We don't need your help! So get lost brother" Alec barks at Jake.

Jake smirks

"That's because they have lost their strength!" He says

"Let's go guys" he commands and he and his entourage walk away.

"I removed mine too!" Troy yelps.

"Help me Troy with this fucking stuff"Kimberly yells.

Alec helps me with mine. We used   a pair of scissors to cut the huge tapes. Soon we were done with a huge crumpled mess of tape on the floor.

I'm glad it didn't destroy the glossy black colour of my car.

Jake and his entourage are gone. I'll get back at him! He's gonna regret doing this to us.
