Chapter 24
Andrea's pov

I'm never really been a morning person. The idea of waking up after having a long, comfortable sleep just scares me. Especially If it's during the middle of a dream, that's the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. But today I didn't mind waking up early. Today was my favrouite day of the year, November 25th.

Today was the school's annual prank day.

Some people wait all year round for their birthday, Christmas or maybe even the school's spring formal, but I wait around all year for this very day it's the only day I can do what I like and not get in trouble for it.

The school's prank day had started five years back when I was in my last year of middle school. Some guys from the football team and the basketball team had decided to prank the headmistress at the time by swapping the entire senior year with another school. They had also written 'honk if your horny' at the back of her car and let's just say she didn't break her leg on purpose if you know what I mean.

Ever since this tradition was invented I had always wondered what it would feel like to carry out a prank on such a huge scale so since the past three years I have been the reigning prankster at my school. The best part is that the board had allowed the school to have this day as it would allow us to be creative and the attendance is quite high on prank day.

Last year I had filled all the swimming pools with red dye, had broken the Dean's intercom so we were able to hear what he was saying, which in my opinion came to use when I used to fail my exams but an imaginary 'A' used to appear on my report card and I had also replaced Rhianna's perfume with dog saliva. Don't ask me how I got that, I found a dude online.

However, this year was going to be epic. I had everything in place all I had to do was make sure that everything goes smoothly and doesn't fail.

Within ten minutes, I had showered, got changed and made my bed. I'm one of those people that if my bed isn't made I just can't concentrate on anything else. I'm not OCD like some people are but I am quite organized.

I quickly grabbed by duffle bag which contained all the equipment I needed and opened the curtains to let some sunlight in.

"Fucking hell!" I cover my eyes as the light shines through.

"I knew I was a god but I'm not that blinding." Zach says quickly removing his shirt.

My eyes flutter to the muscles flexing making him look God-Damn drool worthy. That was until his abdomen was covered with his shirt.

"Yo Andrea , my face is up here." He clicks his fingers causing my focus to shift to his sculptures face."You prepared for today?" He asks.

"Kinda, but I'm sorta nervous." I say honestly.

I don't know when Zach and I had really reached that level of friendship where I was straight up with him and just told him the truth. But despite that, I don't think we've reached that level of friendship where I can tell him about my dad.

Sometimes I think that what if my dad didn't leave me? What if he actually stayed? Perhaps I wouldn't be who I am today, perhaps I wouldn't have these scars which define me.

"Andrea!" Zach pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" Was my only response.

"Are you okay?" He seemed worried." You zoned out again.".

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll meet you downstairs, okay?" I suggest.

"Sure, but don't think I didn't notice you checking me out earlier." He smirks.

My stomach does a flip.

He winks at me this time.

My stomach does another flip.

I ignore the gymnastics taking place inside my body and focus on what I have to do when I get to school.

"Yes, ok Zach, I was checking you out. Is that what you want me to say?" I ask.

"I knew you loved me." He shuts the window and heads to downstairs.

I follow his actions and quickly head downstairs seeing as I was already late and I had to set everything up.

"No breakfast Andy?" Frank asks.

"I don't think she needs it, seeing as it's prank day." Jake mumbles his mouth half filled with toast .

Sometimes I ever wonder if Jake will move out. He's 18 and is in college but the poor lad still stays at home.

"Just move out already." I give him a fake smile ready to leave.

"Eat something at school and try not to get suspended." My mum screams as I leave the house.

"What took so long?" Zach hands me a helmet.

"We're taking the motorcycle today?" I place a the helmet firmly on my head.

"Well you are already behind schedule." He states as he revvs the engine and begins driving.

Throughout the journey, Zach continued to pester me about what I was doing to do this year, but I keep my mouth shut just like I keep my legs shut unlike Rhianna who's legs are open 24/7 like Target.

We reach school and within minutes I had reached the seniors lounge.

"Where were you?" Mia asks as she takes the duffle bag from me.

"I took too long getting ready and this ornagutan doesn't know how to drive fast." I smack the back of Zach's head.

"Says the one who doesn't even have her licsence yet." He teases.

"Andy does have her licsence." Savannah backs me up.

"Then why don't you have a car?" He looks at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"Because I'm saving up to buy my dream car. In a year or so I'll have my own car." I calculate the figures in my head.

"What car do you want?" He asks me.

"A 488 GTB, now are you just going to stand there all day asking questions or are you going to help us." I point at the duffle bag.

"You guys know what to do?" I look at Mia and Cole who were the only ones who knew about my prank.

"Fill these guys in whilst I go do my part." I inform them as the pair of them not their heads in sync.

Today's prank was going to be the hardest by far. I had thought of this prank a year ago but had decided to carry it out today as it was my senior year.

I grabbed my dyes, liquids and scents and had mixed it in with the fire alarm showers.

Once I had some that, I had gone into the deans office and had stuck everything onto his ceiling including his chair and desk which was done with the help of some of the football team. Thereafter I had filled the entire cafeteria and all the offices with mouse traps and filled cups of oil. Finally I left my mark in the Dean's office so he knows it's me and then got back to the others.

The others had covered the entire school with post it notes which in total took around an hour and half as there were seven of us and the entire football team as I had also invited montanna and Jonathon to help out.

It was currently 7:35 and school was about to start in a while. Students had began to arrive however hadn't suspected anything as the prank was taking part in the east wing and most classes were on the west wing.

7:43 and most of the students had arrived in school however Dean Briggs was nowhere to be seen yet. Montanna and Jonathon had left at this point as Montanna had to go college and Jonathon had to get to school.

It was now 8:00 and I knew that everyone had arrived in school and the the teachers were getting ready to leave the teachers lounge and head to their classes.

The first bell rang which caused me to sprint for my life. Dean Briggs was getting closer and closer to his office and I did not want to be there when he sees what I've done with it. However I did get one of the guys in the football team to livestream his reaction.

I waited and waited for his scream. A few minutes had passed until a piercing sound echoed through the entire building.

"ANDYYYYYY!!" He screamed as I laughed.

His foot had multiple traps on it alongside his hand stuck to the door handle.

The live had over 2000 views as the entire school was watching.

If it wasn't for perfect timing, all the ice cubes in the beverages had exploded causing the school hallways to be flooded.

There was one part left to my master plan. I had to get the fire alarms to go off. I nodded at Zach who knew what to do. He stood on top of the desk and held his lighter by the fire alarm. Immediately coloured water began sprinkling out. Everyone looked like a rainbow and as cliche as it sounded I kinda wanted to kiss Cole right now.

I looked around for him but didn't see him anywhere causing me to internally frown. Everyone was cheering and dancing in the rain and it was moments like this that makes me get out of bed.

"The school is shut down until further notice. Please evacuate the building." Dean Briggs screams through the intercom.

We all cheer in unison as people start to head out of school. I look around to see that none of my friends were around except from Savannah.

"Hey, I'm heading home, you coming?" She screams to me over all the cheering.

I shake my head and she gives me quick wave before leaving. I had no idea where the rest of them were.

Ethan and Mia were probably making out somewhere, but I didn't know where Kylie, Cole and Zach were.

The school was becoming more vacant as more students leave the school. Some giving me a high five on the way out for making their lives much easier and some giving me the evils because they were going to miss out on writing an essay on the novel they're studying. They should be thanking me not trying to shoot me with their invisible laser eyes.

I pull my phone out my back pocket ready to ask everyone where they were. That was until a guy from the football team came running my way.

"Andy, you gotta go sort Zach out. He's beating the shit out od your boyfriend." I think his name was Ryan said.

"Wait. Hold up. What happened?" I asked.

"Zach just started punching Cole, I don't know why but you gotta go break it up." He points in the direction of the south east wing.

I rapidly sprint there trying not to slip on my way there considering the hallway was flooded with oil and water.

I finally reach the south east wing where from the corner of my eye I could see two people fighting. A huge crowd had formed around them which I break through as I try to get to the pair of them.

I could see Zach punching Cole and couldn't tell if that was blood in his shirt or the red dye from the fire alarm showers.

"Guys stop figh...." I try to say but before I could finish the sentence a fist comes flying in my diresction and makes contact with my jaw.

"Shit, I'm sorry Andrea." Zach speaks as they both stop fighting causing everyone in the crowd to groan.

"Ok, Ok, the parties over, now go home." I say to everyone my hand still clutching my jaw.

When everyone dispersed the only people left were me, Zach, Cole and Kylie. I still think Mia and Ethan are making out in one of the classrooms. Knowing my best friend they probably were.

"Now can someone tell me why you were beating up my boyfriend." I tell at Zach.

"After you carried out the prank, I came here to grab my bag which I left here. But when I came here I saw your boyfriend locking lips with her." Zach says pointing at Kylie.

"He's lying. I would never do that to you Andy." Cole tries to hug me but I push him away.

"It's true. We didn't do anything. We were only talking." Kylie talks now.

"In the south east wing?" I raise a brow.

"Zach are you sure you might have misread the situation. They were probably talking and it may have looked to you that they were kissing." I explain to him but I knew that I was trying to convince myself more than I was trying to convince him.

"I know what I saw. You know what I you want to believe him then by all means believe him but sont come crying to me when he dumps you for her." Zach slings his bag over his shoulder and heads out.

"Andy, we would never do anything like this to you. We're your friends." Kylie speaks. "Who are you going to believe, people who you've known for years or a guy you've only known for a few months?" She asks.

"Ok Kylie I get your point but that doesn't mean I believe you guys." I honestly reply.

"Babe, I promise...." Cole begins to speak but I interrupt him before he could finish.

"I don't want to hear it." I start to walk away." And by the way tell Montanna that I quit my job.".

"Andy, why are you..." I leave the corridor unable to hear the rest.

I didn't want to believe Zach but I guess I had it coming. We only went on one date. Throughout the entire month he only took me out once and I guess I just didn't love him enough to be with him.

Even if he was cheating on me, they deserve each other. But I can't really say anything right now seeing as the only evidence I have is Zach seeing them together. For all we know they might've not even kissed, he may have misinterpreted the situation.

The worst thing is, after a week of Zach and I rekindling our friendship we had broken it again.

Zach's pov

I knew what I saw. His lips were all of Kylie's and to me it looked like it was going on way long before this. I don't know why but I just wanted to beat the shit out of him. He doesn't realise that he's letting the most precious and beautiful thing just slip right out his fingers.

I know I can't say much, I've fucked up too many times with Andrea but thats only because I don't want her to get hurt. I don't want her to get involved in all the things happening in my life.

I don't know why I cared for her so much when she was just a friend. Just like Mia, Savannah or Kylie, well I can't say much about her anymore.

When I moved to Philli a few years ago I was in my first year of middle school. It was only my mother and I because my father had died when I was seven years old. I knew who Andrea was but I just didn't pay much attention to her.

She was the girl who could beat the entire football and basketball team. She was the best skater and singer I knew. Sometimes I wondered if she was even a girl but most guys don't have long smooth legs.

I knew every guy wanted to sleep with her considering how hot she was but at the time I wasn't the bad boy of the school so I thought I didn't stand a chance.

Not only was she a tomboy but I remember her being a rebel. But that act of hers died down a few years ago, I didn't know why.

I didn't know her because I already had my own friends and I didn't think having another one would make a differnece.

But a few months ago when my mother and into the house next door to hers I couldn't help but talk to her.

She was funny, sarcastic and witty. She was unique and that's what I liked about her. I am going to be honest, when I first met her my intentions were to get her in bed and then leave her like I normally did but she refused and that's what I found intruiging about her.

I stood up for her and she didn't believe me. Why would I lie to her? I'm not Cole. I would never lie to her. That dickhead doesn't deserve to call Andrea his girlfriend. He doesn't deserve to kiss her, she needs someone who's going to love her and cherish her.

I've never found anyone like her. She's been such an amazing friend and although Ethan qualifies for one I don't start getting all giddy to see him, that would just be awkward. I guess she's the reason I wake up everyday on the morning.
