Chapter 9:


After dancing for about an hour or so, the three of them, sweaty and tired, their muscles sore from all the jumping, sprawled themselves on the sofa, trying to catch their breaths.

"Well, that was fun. I'm gonna go take a shower now." Fiona said as she made her way towards the bathroom.

"I better get goin-", Rachel was saying, when suddenly Jared's phone rang.

It was Anastasia.

Jared burst out laughing like an idiot, accidentally throwing his phone across the floor. Rachel picked it up hurriedly and handed it to Jared.

"Stop laughing and answer it you dimwit! Oh and put it on loudspeaker."

"Here goes nothing." Jared said as he accepted the call. 

"Jared?" Anastasia called out.

"How is my loyal Anastasia doing?"

"Oh, Jared. It's not what you think it is!"

Ah, Jared thought. Using the standard I'm-so-innocent-after-getting-caught-cheating- line.

"I wish it wasn't." He said.

"Since when is holding hands a crime? He's JUST a friend!"

"What good would lying do, Anastasia?"

"Weren't you hanging out with a redheaded girl too? You've always said that you have fetish for redheaded girls." Anastasia said, completely ignoring Jared's comment.

Rachel's eyes widened and Jared scrunched up his face in disgust, creases appearing on his forehead. "God, Anastasia. We were working on a project. And if you didn't notice, we weren't holding hands!"

Rachel took out a pen from her jeans pocket and wrote, "Dump this bitch" on her hand. She then poked Jared on the arm and showed it to him. He gave a wide smile. 

"Antonio was just being a gentleman!"

"He was also being a gentleman when he kissed you at Wendy's, then?"

Anastasia gasped and cut the line.

There was silence for a moment, which Rachel interrupted saying, "Well Antonio is a stupid name."

Jared chuckled. "You don't have to console me anymore. I actually feel kind of relieved. Like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders."

"I'm glad you feel that way."

"Feel what way?" Fiona asked as she approached the two of them.

Jared and Rachel filled her in with what had happened a few minutes ago. At the end of which, Fiona said, "I say we take revenge."

"And how do you suggest we do that?" Rachel asked, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.

"I'll tell you, but first you go take some tomatoes from the kitchen, about 10. And Jared, you take your portable speakers. Tonight is gonna be a long one."

Rachel narrowed her eyes at Fiona, then shrugging, she left for the kitchen.

Jared cocked his head to one side and asked Fiona, "Whatever you have planned...is it evil?"

Fiona grinned maliciously at that. "You bet it is."
