Frenemy

The final day of school was always a very happy day for me, the school would have have their final get together with everyone in their classes,it was the final day of school for the term and teachers really didn't care what the students unless you don't try to kill your classmate like Peter almost did,he put a snake in the boy's bag and when the boy opened his bag he got bitten by the snake.

"Ahhhhh!!!" He screamed.

Peter was pointing and laughing at him from the other side of the class, everyone thought it was a harmless prank like Peter always does,I didn't think so, I got close to the boy to see the snake bite on his arm,and the snake had crept away.

"Peter you fool the boy is dead!" I tried to draw his attention to what he had done.

They stopped laughing as the whole class were now in terror due to the fact that someone had died in the class but he wasn't dead he was unconscious, but he was going to be dead if he didn't receive medical attention soon.

"What are you saying?" Peter rushed to the scene.

"Why did you put a snake in his bag?"

"I thought it was those harmless green tree snakes miss Nicole told us about" he said.

"Well it wasn't"

"What do we do now?"

"I've tied the area with his belt to prevent the spread of the poison to other parts of his body"

"You used his belt" Said Chloe,who I didn't notice was standing behind me.

"Well do you want me to use mine?"

"What do we do about him now?" Peter drew my attention back to the dying boy on the floor.

"Chloe please help me and call miss Nicole or any teacher you see around"

"And what do you expect me to tell them?"

"Chloe this a life and death situation, just tell them that!" I said feeling under pressure now, because if this boy should we would all be in trouble and Peter may end up in jail.

"Really?" Chloe said folding her arms now.

"Yes just go Chloe!"

"Ok I'm going"

Chloe quickly left to get help while I made sure that the boy's body was relaxed to slow down the poison.

"I am going to be in serious trouble after this" Peter hit his laps.I touched his shoulder as if I was trying to make him feel better.

"Don't beat yourself up, you will be in way worse trouble if he died" that wasn't what he was expecting I could see that with the looks on his face.

"And then next time you will think twice before pranking anyone" I just made him feel worse here, but at least what I told him was the bitter truth.

Chloe arrived with miss Nicole along with two other male teachers.

" What happened here?" miss Nicole asked.

" He got bitten by a snake ma" I answered squatting over him.

" What type of snake?" one of the men asked.

" I don't actually know sir"

" Whose fault is this" miss Nicole detected immediately that this was someone's fault.

" My... fault mam" Peter slowly raised his hands,he was shivering I have never seen him like this before.

"Stand up Mr." Miss Nicole ordered him.

"Yes mam" Peter stood up,his legs were shaking.

"How did this happen?" miss Nicole asked,moving closer to him now.

"Ma.... I...."

"Speak up now!" miss Nicole yelled at him.

"Nicole I don't think that question is necessary" one of the teachers said.

"Yes just ask him, what type of snake that was" the other suggested.

Miss Nicole nodded in approvement to what they had said.

" Alright boy tell, what type of snake was that?"

" It was a green snake ma"

At the mention of those words the three teachers gasped loudly.The two male teachers quickly grabbed the boy but were careful not to shake him and hurriedly left through the door.

"You will be rewarded for this Mr Hills"

"You'll get the opposite Peter" Miss Nicole said before quickly leaving through the door.

After some seconds we looked outside the window to see miss Nicole enter the blue Mercedes C300 belonging to one of the teachers and the car zoomed off immediately.Everyone returned to their seats except Peter who was still looking out the window and probably wondering what his fate would be if that boy should die.But looking at the other side of the situation if that boy should come home alive it would become a lesson for Peter who I don't think will prank anyone ever again.

****************************************************************

"Are you going to be here for the night party?" Chloe asked, she was sitting opposite me with her own chair and laid down her head on my desk.

"I don't know I'm not allowed to go out at night"

"Have you tried giving your parents a good reason why you should go out?"

"No"

"Why?"

" Because they would still say no anyways"

"You are funny" She laughed.

"I wasn't trying to be"

" Come on Mike, I'm sure they will allow you if you told them it was important"

Chloe really wanted me to be here tonight, but it wasn't my fault that I wasn't allowed to go out at night I wasn't even allowed to go out sometimes during the day unless I sneaked out.While Chloe was begging me to come to the night party I noticed that Lisa was looking at me and it was those mischievous looks that she was giving me.

"How did Lisa react when she heard you called the police for her brother?" I asked changing the topic now.

"She wasn't exactly happy, but she said it was good for him"

" She said that?" I asked, surprised.

" Yes Lisa had tried to help me in many ways always begging her brother to leave me alone, that's why she's such a good friend"

" Huh?"

I was confused, Chloe didn't really know who Chloe was all those things she said were exactly the opposite of what Lisa did, she was the reason Chris found out about any boy that tried to approach Chloe.

" Haven't you ever wondered, how Chris found about any boy that tried to approach you IN THE SCHOOL" I said making it clear that clear that Chris wasn't in the school, someone in the school had to be giving him information and who else would do that rather than her sister.

"I know what you are thinking, but Lisa would never do such" She said trying to defend Lisa.

"Listen to me Chloe" I hit the desk, which caused Chloe to spring up.

Before I could start my explanation miss Nicole walked into the class with the boy who had been bitten by a green mamba according to miss Nicole, but thanks to the boy himself Peter didn't get any punishment because he chose to forgive him instead of letting him get punished.After that miss Nicole called Chloe to come help her with something outside which gave Lisa to send across her message to me.While I was sitting on my chair monitoring Lisa who was still looking at me mischievously a note dropped on my desk, that was strange because I didn't see anyone stand up or even come near desk.My mood was uttered with the words written on that piece of paper,but when Chloe entered the class I quickly hid the note in my pocket.

"So what are you saying Mike?" She asked as she sat down.

"I am coming"

"Well that was a quick decision" She smiled.

*Yes I'll explain to my parents" I said,and looked at Lisa who was still looking at me but she was smiling this time,then she stood up and started walking to my desk.

"Hi Chloe" She said, when she got to me and Chloe.

"What's up Lisa?"

"Nothing much just planning for a night party" She said playing with her finger nails.

" That's what I was just discussing with Mike here" Chloe said punching my shoulder playfully.

"Really that's wonderful" She faked a smile.

I was too busy frowning at her that I didn't know when miss Nicole called Chloe who quickly followed her.

"Listen up hero" She hit my desk in a way that freaked me out.

"What do you want?" I asked trying to sound tough.

"You will pay for what you did to my only brother" She said biting her lips in fury and using her face to push mine down.

Before I could say another word she had walked away from me back to her own desk, after that the whole class looked at me in a creepy way as if I kissed a girl in class because that's what that looked like and thank God Chloe didn't come in the middle of that scene, I didn't care what my classmates would tell her, she would never believe them.

******************************************************************

I was trying to sneak out when Aurora who was suspicious of something caught me.

"Where are you going Mike?" She asked as soon as I was about to start climbing down.

"Aurora please this a life and death situation"

"Yes life and death, would you mind explaining it?"

" Chloe please I have no time" I pleaded.

" Explain or you are going nowhere"

She was relentless and just neglecting her now would cause me a lot of jeopardy,so I had to explain everything to her and after that I was allowed to go.

" Aurora please don't let mom and dad find out I was gone"

" Trust me" She replied and started walking back to the house, while I made my way down.When I got to the party which was being held in the volleyball court it took me a long time to find Chloe probably because I was too busy looking for her in the dance floor while she was sitting on one of the benches by the side.

"I expected you would be dancing by now" I said walking up to her.

"I was waiting for you" She smiled.

" Dance?I don't dance"I try to laugh.

" Well you do now"

She pulled me by arm unexpectedly and into the dance floor as the music was quickly changed to a one with fast beats.

"I can't dance Chloe!" I was screaming due to the loudness of the music.

"Just do it how you remember others do!"

Chloe was natural dancer her dancing steps were superb compared to what I was doing,I was just walking around and shaking my turning my hands.

"I should go get us some drinks" I said after a while, just to take some break,I left to get the drinks.I quickly got the drinks and returned to the dance floor where I was dancing with Chloe, but she wasn't there.

"Did you see where Chloe went?!" I asked a guy who was there.

"Oh yes,she left with a girl few minutes after you left!"

"Can you please describe the girl she left with"

" Come on it's dark in here"

" Oh"

" But all could see was that she had short hair"

That said it all it was definitely Lisa,I had forgotten the reason I decided to come here the minute I stepped my feet into this party and had failed to look out for Lisa, but there was no time for contemplations,I thanked the guy and quickly went in search of Chloe who I feared was in trouble.I had no luck until I decided to check outside the party.I entered the hallway which was very quiet I walked around the other side of the hallway to see Lisa standing at the other end with three huge men behind her.

"I've been expecting you hero boy or is it wonder boy?" She said touching her lower lip.

" I don't care, where's Chloe?"

" Don't worry about her"

" And why do you say that?"

" Because you won't be able to save her"

She said as the three men pulled up Infront of her,they were all holding daggers.I had no option than to run for my dear life as this men hotly pursued me I ran past the party hall which was stupid because I should have ran into there at least they wouldn't find me easily then I would sneak out and go save Chloe, but something just pushed me to run past it outside the school,they were catching up to me because I was running in a straight path,so I had to slow them down by changing my path into the forest but as I ran a little further I heard them screaming behind me which made me to stop immediately because I couldn't hear anyone chasing me again,I thought it was trap, but what I saw when I walked back to where they were was horrible and disgusting,three of them had killed each other what terrified me most was the way they did it the one lying in the middle had two of his daggers on the two's head while the other two had their own daggers in his head.I had to save Chloe I said to myself as I left the three corpse lying on the road leading to the forest and rushed to the school,when I got to the hallway I could hear some noise from the janitor's closet, someone was inside and trying to get out probably Chloe,I quickly opened the door to see Chloe her mouth was taped and her hands and feet were tied,I carried her out of the closet and started untying her,I untied her feet and was still untying her hands when she started struggling to say something with her taped mouth.

"Don't worry Chloe,let me get that off"

I untied her hands and immediately I pulled the tape out a knife went through my right shoulder.

"Ahhhhh!!!" I screamed and fell in pain.

"Hi Chloe" Lisa waved with her hands stained with my blood.

"Oh my God Mike!" She tried to remove the knife from my shoulder, but that was very painful and I wouldn't let her.

"Run Chloe she'll kill you" I groaned in pain.

"I thought we were friends?" Chloe said looking up to her.

"You were always in my way but it's time to say goodbye" Lisa said, pulling out another knife from her pocket.

"Run Chloe!" I screamed.

She listened to me and quickly ran out this time, I thought Lisa would finish killing me before chasing her, but she didn't she just chased her.

"What did I ever do to you?!!" Chloe screamed as she ran.

The run didn't last because soon Chloe came to a dead end, which was the principal's locked office.

"I'm sorry for putting your brother in jail" Chloe apologized which was a little late. But Lisa stopped and started laughing as if Chloe had told the funniest joke in the world.

"You think this is about him, yes I would say it's about him but that's not the real reason I'm after you"

"Then what?" Chloe asked, she was really terrified to see her good friend holding a knife and trying to murder her.

"You are the most beautiful girl in class, always getting a the attention and I as your friend hardly gets any, I despised you from the very day you stepped your feet into that class"

"And yet you still pretended, you wanted to be my friend"

"That was so you wouldn't suspect I had something against you"

"I thought you were good person" Chloe said, with tears dropping down her eyes.

"You took everything away from me, that was why my brother decided to beat up any boy that associated with you, which I liked until your hero came along"

"So that was all you, which means that Chris never had any interest in me"

"Just a little bit" Lisa said holding her hands as if pinching something.

" Say goodbye Chloe" Lisa walked up to her and raised her hands to stab Chloe while Chloe covered her face but as she attempted to bring her hands down and end it those hands had problem coming down.

" You are crazy" I said,as I held her hand.

" I should have finished you off when I had the chance"

" Yes but your jealousy wouldn't let you see that" I flinged the knife out of her hand and it fell beside Chloe.

" Chloe run!" I said to Chloe who was still in shock.But she was able to get up and did as I told her.

"Foolish boy risking your life for a girl that doesn't even love you"

"That's not working on me"

Aurora knows how to use words that are not purely true to break one's emotions and me as her brother had already gotten used to it.

"But maybe this will" She pulled out another knife with her other hand and was about to use it on me when I knocked it away and that earned me a nice cut on my palm, but the police arrived immediately after that and arrested her.

"You are going to be in jail for a long time miss, you are just lucky you are not eighteen yet" one of the policemen said as he took her away.

"You look like you need a hospital boy" the other policeman said.

"No I'm okay sir"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

Chloe was cleaning the wound with the materials she found inside the first aid box that was carelessly dropped on the hallway what a coincidence.I had taken out the knife as after Lisa chased her down the hall so she didn't have to do that.

"You have a nice girlfriend" the officer said.

"Huh!" I pretended not to hear him.

Chloe was giggling and that made her pull the bandage a little too much. "Ouch!"

"Never mind" he replied and walked to the party hall door.

"You have some useless people here" he said looking at the people who were still dancing and didn't even know that something terrible just happened.

"Yes officer but just leave them alone" I said, because I knew he was planning to send everyone home.

"No problem kid, take care" the officer left leaving me alone with Chloe.

"So how did you know Lisa was evil?" She asked still tying the bandage.

"I figured it out and I tried to warn you but you didn't listen"

" Look at the note she left me this morning" I handed her the note which she read out loud.

" YOU AND CHLOE ARE DONE"

" I didn't understand those words clearly until now"

" Awwww!" I groaned as I got up.

" It's okay" Chloe held my arm.

" I am so dead when I get home" I said walking towards the exit door.

" I'll take you home"

I didn't believe it but she meant it, she took home that night which I really needed because there was no way I would have been able to climb that hill alone in my condition.
