Rebel

Chapter 26

Jo asks, "What should we do to celebrate?"

"I'm not sure," I mutter.

"Eating competition?" Jo asks.

"You will win, Jo," I mutter.

"My point," Jo mutters, like it's obvious.

I roll my eyes, staring at the hazel and green in her eyes.

"Definitely not mine. The answer is no," I mutter.

"Please?????" Jo asks.

I scowl, "Fine. I guess."

"You against Kat?" Sage asks, coming towards us.

"What about a coffee drinking contest?" Abel asks.

The whole group bursts into a sudden sensation full of laughter.

"I have a plan," Nathan mutters.

"Where'd he come from?" Jo asks in shock, "Did you just teleport?"

"I teleported from Erudite. It was so fun. I got buried in a trash can and bombed the intelligence test," Nathan says sarcastically, with Matt and the group laughing on the floor.

"Are you taking Matt on your creepy ass duties?" Jo asks.

"As if," Matt says.

Abel shrugs. "What's your plan, Creepy?"

"Okay, pansycakes, so let's take the train," Nathan says.

"Where?" I ask.

"I don't know, but you know, we've already gone to a Pedrad party, we've gotten tattoos, what next?"

"Wanna invite a girl?" Abel asks.

"That sounds like fun!" Matt says.

"We already have Kat and Jo, so who are the other girls who don't have a phobia of guys. Or Helena, she's terrified of me," Nathan says.

"What about our best friend?" Matt asks, elbowing Nathan.

"Jen? That'll be fun," Nathan says.

"How bout Rainbow or Kristin? They're super fun!" Jo yells.

"Let's ask them!" Sage says, "We can have a massive party!"

"Please don't tell me more alcohol..." I mutter.

"Can we use coffee instead of alcohol?" Abel asks, calm and collected.

"Abel? Is your date coming tonight?" I ask.

"I don't have a girlfriend," Abel says, raising his left, black, bushy eyebrow. His dark black hair literally sticks out like a porcupine when he does that and his small eyes only become smaller.

"Yes you do, spill it," I mutter.

"Who?" Abel asks.

"Apparently I've heard you cheated on Breakfast Blend with Folgers. Are these cheating rumors true?" I ask.

"No, I'm not cheating on anyone... Wait, you're talking brands of coffee," Abel mutters, embarrassed by his newly found coffee addiction.

Jo rolls on the floor, laughing. Becky walks up to me.

"Bye, Kat, Jo, creepy, and Starbucks," Becky says.

We all hug her.

"Who's Starbucks?" Jo asks.

Becky points at Abel before leaving.

Jo, Abel and I laugh so hard, we are choking. Kristen, Rainbow and Jen appear behind me, along with Nathan and Matt, who look so confused.
