"Circle The Drain"

"No, Kelly! We cannot do that!" I laugh.

Me and my friends were walking out of the most recent NHS meetings, and Kelly was trying to plan the T.P.ing of Mrs. Schnells, the schools devil Principals, house for Mischive Night.

"Come on Kristin! When do you do anything rebelious? Never, that's when, so come on! Everyone is doing it, we are not going to get caught!" Kelly explained.

"I don't know......"

"Kristin, this is your Senior year, please live a little!"

She was right. It was Senior Year of High School, and I get straight A's, I'm in the NHS, and I have not done anything remotely rebelious in my four years in Penn Tenant High School.

"Fine." I respond.

She squeals, "Yes! Finally! Come to my house at noon on Saturday so we can get ready!"

Crap. What have I just gotten myself into?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I drove up to Kellys house at Noon sharp, on Saturday. Even though it was still hours to dark, my heart was beating fast. I can't believe I had agreed to do this.

At the moment it was like the Devil and Angel were on my shoulders. The Devil was calmly saying 'What's the worst that can happen?'

While the angel was telling me 'You could get expelled! Don't do it!' Being the good girl that I am, I sided with the Angel, like always.

I was going to go inside, and tell Kelly I was going to back-out of our little 'stunt'.

I went up, and knocked on the door. Kelly's mom answered the door.

"Why hello, Ms. Giblert." Her mom greeted me. I blushed, being called 'Ms. Gilbert' made me feel so much older and professional.

"Oh, Mrs. Fallion. Please just call me Kristin." I told her.

"But you are almost in college! You should be getting used to the title." She smiled.

"Thanks. Were, might I ask, is Kelly?"

"She is in her room."She told me.

"Thank you." I said and started to make my way upstairs to Kellys room.

"Kristin, wait." Mrs.Fallion stopped me.

"Yes?"

"Kelly has been in the best mood lately since she lost her father two months ago. Please try to keep it that way." She sadly smiled.

Oh, damn. I forgot about that. Now I can't just tell her I'm not going. She will be crushed.

"Okay. I will make sure of it."I reassured her, 'Even if we get in a lot of trouble for it,' I thought to myself.

"Thank you." She smiled genuinly.

Now I had to choose. My permanent record, or my best friends feelings.

I picked what anyone in there right mind would pick.

My best friend.

If her happiness depended on my no-longer-spotless record.

I walked up to Kellys room.

As soon as she saw me, she jumped on me to hug me.

"Thank you so much fordoing this for me! I love you so much!"

I hugged her back tightly. 'Oh, crap'

We drove to Mrs. Schnells house, but we parked a block away for obvious reasons.

We were also dressed in black...for obvious reasons.

When we got close enough to the house you could see about two dozen people already on Mrs. Schnells very large estate busily working to get the job done.

"Come on Kristin!" Kelly exclaimed throwing me a roll of toliet paper. "Get to work!"

Okay, the moment of truth.The first rebelious move I have ever made in my life.

Here it goes!

I threw the toliet paper over the tree.A smile grew on my face. This was so much fun. I can't believe I had been missing this my whole life!

I was estatic. It was like I was floating. My fears all went away, and so did everything around me. That is until I heard thefive words I will reget forever.

"What thehell are you doing?!" Mrs. Schnell exclaims.

I look around and everyone is gone except me and this other boy.

I. Am. Dead
