49 Don't Stop, Make It Pop

Guys I'm sorry for the irregular updates. And please don't try anything mentioned in the next two chapters at home.

EMMA

Emma looked up from her Literature paper on her desk, at the invigilator standing in front of her. She smiled and held her paper up at him, who first looked slightly surprised, but then smiled back and took it from her hands as he moved ahead. Must not be getting a lot of smiles in the examination hall, was he?

She waited for all the papers to be collected and when the bell rang, the one which signalled the end of every examination, she let out a loud Whoop! with everyone else and shuffled out of the hall with her stuff towards her locker.

But before she could get there, she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist, and she was lifted off the ground. She laughed loudly as she was set back down, and felt Matt,s face buried into her shoulder as he hugged her tightly.

"I expected you to ambush me sooner", she said with a smile, as he twirled a lock of her hair around his finger.

"Hey, I ran from my hall till here", he said, his eyebrows furrowed.

Emma placed a small kiss on his lips, "How was it?", she asked.

"I got almost all of them", he said excitedly, "even those weird Les Mis ones."

Emma smiled, "So proud."

She felt an arm around her shoulder, "So, party at my house at six", said Shane, leaning on Emma sleepily, as if writing an hour long had drained the life out of him. Talk about overly dramatic.

"You better not get wasted and hit on me like last time", said Matt with a frown. He then shuddered, "That night scarred me for life."

Emma began laughing as Shane grinned at him, "No promises, amigo."

"What's this about a party that I hear?", Will asked, as he walked up to them.

"I'm so ready for a party", said Penny, coming from the other side, Liv in tow. Ever since both of them had been drugged, they had become closer than ever. Not the most ideal circumstances to become besties in...and not that Emma was a tad bit jealous...

Liv made eye-contact with her, then her eyes shifted and lingered longer on Will standing next to her. She could see Liv smile at Will, then saw Will smile back at her. But it was not the eye-sparkling, breath-taking, face-brightening, joyous smile of his. It was a small sad smile, which communicated a lot more if his emotions than he thought it would. So she slipped an arm around his shoulder, just to let him know that he didn't have to bear any burden alone. And she felt him lean into the touch. Then she saw a flash of sadness on Liv's face, which disappeared as fast as it came. God, these people had more drama among them than Matt and his siblings, and that was saying a lot.

"Okay, I'm gonna go and make preparations for the booze", said Shane.

"And how will you do that?", asked Kyle, who came up to them and wrapped an arm around Penny's waist, who pecked him on the lips.

Shane took a card out of his wallet in his back pocket and handed it to Kyle.

"Rodrigo Sombrero. Seriously?", Kyle asked as the others laughed.

Shane wiggled his eyebrows at Kyle, "Why, it turn you on?"

Kyle threw the fake ID back at him, disgust evident on his face, as everyone else laughed harder.

"I'm guessing I have to come with you to haul all the bottles into your house?", Matt asked.

Shane grinned, "You know it. See you guys. It's gonna get crazay!", he said, then ran down the corridor.

MATT

Matt stood at the alter, as he straightened his tie, Will standing next to him, grinning, while Penny stood on the other side, grinning too. The Bridal March began to play, and all the guests stood up, as Emma appeared at the other end of the aisle.

And he forgot how to breathe. She was slowly walking down the aisle, a veil covering up the immense amount of beauty underneath, which he would now wake up to see every morning for the rest of his life. It felt like an eternity until she finally came up to him. And then she slapped him. Hard.

Matt sat upright, breathing heavily, as his vision took more time than usual to clear up. The strong stench of beer hit his nose, and he rubbed his eyes and looked down to see him buried under a big pile of sheets. He removed then from him, then gasped when he saw that the only item of clothing he was wearing was his boxers. He saw leg sticking out of the sheets near him, which was definitely a guy's leg, and he screamed. Loud.

The pile of sheets began to shake and a head popped out of the sheets, and...it was Shane, who first looked down at himself, then at Matt, and also began screaming. What did they do, which involved taking clothes off? Matt shuddered when he thought of one possibility involving Shane's weird flirting with him.

Then, the pile began to shake again, and another head popped out. And it was Kelly, who was still a bit more clothed than Matt and Shane. The three of them looked at each other, then the amount of clothing missing from their bodies and began screaming together.

What did he do last night? Matt wondered, as his brain was pounding in his skull, making it hard for him to think.

"What the fuck is going on?!", Shane cursed.

Matt squirmed, but then felt something poke his...area. And what he found freaked him out.

"Shane", he said, "Why do I have one dollar bills in my underwear?"

WILL

The sun was setting, the fireflies coming in from godknows where, as he held her hand in his, her thumbs brushing the back of her knuckles. He was looking down at the footprints they had made in the sand, hers were small, while his were gigantic. But the footprints lay in the sand in perfect sync. Until the tide came in and washed them away.

"I love you", he said, his grip tightening on her hand.

"I love you too", came a voice, which he had not expected to hear, so when he looked up, he saw Shane, who was wearing a brown wig and smiling at him, and he screamed as Shane dunked his head in the water.

Will opened his eyes to see bubbles in front of them. He quickly jerked himself upright gasping for air, till his vision cleared and saw that he was sitting in swimming trunks, which he didn't think belonged to him, in a hot tub. And there was Liv who was also asleep opposite of him, and Chad who was sleeping on the the ground below. He pushed himself up and clutched his head, as he stared at Liv sleeping peacefully over there, in a dress which was now drenched and hugging her perfect body.

He looked around. They were in the hot tub at the back of a house. An unfamiliar house. He saw a phone lying at the bottom of the hot tub, and he groaned as he bent down to pick it up. It was his phone, ex-phone now. Where was this place? Why was he in this house? Why had he been sleeping in the hot tub?

His sound had woken Liv up, who looked around fazed, then her eyes focused on Will, and he saw her pale skin turn a bright shade of red. He too felt his cheeks burning. They were half naked in the same hot tub. What the heck happened last night?

He got out of the hot tub and nudged Chad by his foot as Liv muttered rubbing her forehead, "What the fuck happened last night?"

Chad too woke up with a jerk and looked around, confused, then clutched his head and groaned, "We don't have school today. Let me sleep!" At least Chad had his pants on. Speaking of which, where were Will's clothes?

Will threw Liv a towel, then put a towel on Chad, even though he was perfectly dry.

"Do you guys remember what happened last night?", he asked.

"No", they replied together. Will then froze because he heard a door open and close.

"Quick! Hide your faces and let's get out of here", he whispered.

They lumbered up to the wall nearby, and could not walk properly, let alone creep to the wall. Chad climbed up using his awesome parkour techniques, while Will mustered up his strength and pulled a stool from the shed close by. Liv climbed up first with Chad's help, and when Will climbed onto the stool, a voice came, which almost made him fall off the stool.

"Oi! What're you kids doin' 'ere?!", came a strangely familiar voice with the sound of a dog barking. Will did not have time to see who it was when Chad pulled him up, his face hidden by a towel, and they ran blindly to lose the weird man and his dog. It was extremely bright outside, and with the blood pounding in his ears, it took a while for his eyes and ears to adjust.

And when they did, he found himself standing in the middle of the soccer ground of their school, and saw the players of their Junior Varsity team gaping at him, as well as players from another school. He was standing there in the middle, without his shirt on. Of course they would stop. He looked back at the wall. Oh God, that was Mr. Martinez's hot tub, the guy who kept alp the soccer balls which went into his backyard.

"Good luck!", he said to the guys then took Liv's hand and ran along with her, all the way to the locker rooms.

EMMA

He was smiling at her, as he drove his car towards her, when there was a screeching sound, and flash of bright light...

"No!", she screamed, as she opened her eyes, and saw nothing but bright light in front of her. No, no, this was happening for real. This was not a nightmare.

"Matt!", she screamed, but then her vision cleared and she saw the bright light of the sun blinding her, in the clear, bright blue sky, which was accompanied by the sparkling blue water below. She tried to get up, but then, an immense amount of pain flowed through her head like acid. She groaned loudly, something her mother would disapprove so much.

Her arms and legs were encrusted with sand, and she frowned when she thought of the amount of sand that must be in her hair at that moment. She then noticed her top was missing, and she was in her sports bra and denim shorts. What the hell?!

She turned her head sideways to see Kyle lying a few feet away, and he too did not have his shirt on. Just his jeans.

Not far away from Kyle, she saw Griffin lying on the sand, without his shirt on as well, looking at Emma.

"Why did you scream?", he asked, getting up and putting his head in his hands.

"Nightmare", Emma replied, still lying down and looking at the sky.

She then heard Kyle groan as he too pulled himself to a sitting position, "What the fuck happened last night?", he asked, rubbing his eyes.

Kyle gasped when he looked over at Emma, "Emma, your collarbone"

Emma's hand flew to her collarbone and it tingled in a painful way under her fingertips. What the heck?

"K-Kyle, you too have one on your forearm too", said Griffin. Emma looked over to see a tattoo, the number 4 on his forearm, and he was staring at it with disbelief

Emma looked down at her collarbone and screamed. W-why did she have a tattoo? That too the number 19?

It better be a washable one.

She ran to the water and rubbed some water on it, but it stayed dark as ever, as if sitting there and challenging her. She sighed and walked back to Kyle and Grif.

"Why number four though?", Grif asked.

Emma's head snapped up with realisation, "That's Penny's jersey number", then she looked at her collarbone again, "And this is Matt's."

PENNY

Kyle stood a few feet away from her, his guitar slung on his back, looking like a rockstar. She walked towards him, just to feel his lips on hers, when he began walking, towards a door that read Julliard

She tried to run towards him, but she was going backwards, as if something was pulling her away from him.

"Kyle! Wait", she screamed.

He turned, and yelled, "What the fuck?!"

Penny's eyes snapped open as she pushed herself up and looked around. She then regretted getting up as her head felt heavier than usual.

She was...in a garage? A garage in a rainforest? Covered with paint? And toilet paper?

Kevin stood a few feet away, looking around as well.

"Extreme pros paintball", he said to her, pointing to a sign nearby.

"What?", Penny asked, rubbing her neck.

"Why are we in a paintball arena?", he asked.

She heard a noise near the car, another groan, and she jumped. Ian's head popped out near the hood of the car, looking as disheveled as Penny and Kevin.

"Guys there is a lot of paint covering Vlad", he said, grimacing

"Vlad?", Kevin asked, voicing Penny's question.

"Vlad the Impaler", Ian said, "Weren't you listening when I told you, Kevin?"

Kevin scrunched his nose up.

"What?", Penny asked, still confused.

"You know, Richard and the twins", Ian said, and Penny still looked at him weirdly. Were they his friends?

"Huh?"

"He means his d***", Kevin said bluntly.

Penny too wrinkled her nose up, "Okay."

"Um guys, this is Extreme Pros Paintball...Santa Ana", said Kevin, his eyes wide.

Penny gasped "You mean we're in a different city?!"
