AN: Hey guys. Sorry it took me so long to update. Here it is. Hope you like it!!
"Wait just one second," I said, pretending to be calm. "Are you telling me that my brother, my TWIN brother, has had a girlfriend and didn't tell me?"
It was dead silent now and I think everyone was too scared to talk. Josh knelt down in front of me, staring at me with pleading eyes, "I'm sorry Jo. I really am. I just, wasn't sure how to tell you and I thought you would react like this."
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "So you decide to tell me now?"
"I wasn't planning on it, I swear. But when I saw Jenna, I just had too. I couldn't lie anymore," he said grabbing my hands. I yanked them out of his and glared at him and then Jenna.
"How long have you been going out?" I asked Jenna.
"For about-" Josh started.
"I didn't ask you, I asked her," I snapped, glaring at him before looking back to Jenna.
I saw her gulp nervously but there was a confident glint in her green eyes, "For about 5 months."
My eyes widened, "5 MONTHS?!?! YOU'VE HAD A GIRLFRIEND FOR 5 MONTHS?!" Josh winced but nodded.
That's when Jenna stepped forward, "Look, I love your brother. And I know you're the most important thing to him in the world, but you can't bully me or change my mind. I AM going out with your brother, whether you like it or not."
I lent back against the sofa and took a deep breath. "Can someone take me to my room please?" I asked quietly. Josh went to do it but when I glared at him he stepped back and allowed Damien to pick me up. Even though this was a serious moment and all really serious, I couldn't help the goofy smile that spread across my face when he wrapped his arms round me. Sigh. I love you Damien.
He carried me into my room and slowly put me on the bed. I changed my face back to the stone cold mask I had been wearing. He sat down beside me and patted my knee, "You alright?"
I beamed at him, "Are you kidding?! That girl is awesome! She stood up to me! She must love my brother to be able to do that."
Damien sighed in relief and smiled, "Thank God. It was horrible on all of us, not being able to tell you."
My smile fell. "You knew?" I asked quietly. His eyes widened and he gaped like a fish but in the end he nodded slowly. I pointed my finger to my door. "Out."
He shook his head, "Jo, I-"
"OUT!" I screamed at him. He jumped up and all but sprinted out.
Those little minxes! All of them keeping my brother's girlfriend a secret from me! They do realize that this calls for revenge, right? But what? That is the question...
"THAT'S IT!!" I shouted in despair. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Alice's number.
"Hellooo?" She answered.
"ALICE! I need your help!" I cried down the phone.
"What? What is it? Oh my God, are you held hostage? About to be raped? What?!" She screamed.
I laughed, "No, it's nothing like that. But I need to get revenge on my brother and the team."
"Oh, right," she said, sighing in relief. "What can I do for ya?"
I closed my eyes, "I need help. I need to think of something to get revenge on my twin and team."
"Hmm..." We were both silent for a minute before she was screaming, "I got it! Why don't you dress up. Be a girl. That way they'll all get so pissed at everyone and...well, yeah."
I was silent before asking, "Alice, can we go shopping?"
"OMFG! REALLY?THIS IS AMAZING! IT'S ABOUT TIME!I'M COMING OVER NOW AND THEN WE'LL GO AND I CAN PICK ALL YOUR CLOTHES AND WE CAN GO TO THE SALON AND GET MANICURES AND OUR HAIR DONE!I'LL BE THERE IN 5!" She hung up and I stared at the phone.
Whoa. Who knew you could say so much, so loudly, in one minute?
A few minutes later someone was knocking loudly on my door. "I'm coming in!" Alice shouted, opening the door. She came in and beamed at me. She sat down on the bed and said, "Let's go!"
I looked back at the door and she said, "Oh, no ones here. I checked. There's a note for you stuck to the fridge saying that they've all gone to Pizza Hut."
"They what?" I asked in disbelief, "They really went to pizza hut?" Alice nodded and my disbelief was replaced with a scowl. "Alice, pass me my crutches. We have shopping to do."
She squealed and quickly handed me the crutches. Since I had a dislocated shoulder too, I could only use one crutch. So it was a bit like a walking stick, but whatever.
I had to plan...
)*(8 weeks later)*(
I had finally gotten my cast off and could walk properly now. My shoulder was better and I had to have physio therapy, but it's all good. I can FINALLY complete my plan. After shopping with Alice, I had ignored everyone as much as I could for 2 weeks, before finally 'forgiving' them. I got to know Jenna better too. She's really nice. She will do great things...
When I had told Alice this other part to the plan she had sat there in silence for 10 whole minutes. That's right kids. I, Jo Bright, silenced Alice for 10 minutes.
"Wow," was all she said after a while.
I nodded and smiled in agreement. Then she smiled back and went back to her usual self, talking a mile a minute.
Ah, the plan. All the guy's are none the wiser, as I've been myself for the past 6 weeks. But now that I could walk properly and was basically normal I could put the plan into action.
"So we're going to have to wake up at 6am and start getting ready," Alice said from beside me. We were having a weekend sleepover, even though we had school tomorrow. That was the whole point though.
I nodded and sighed, "Why up so early though? Surely it won't take that long?"
"Oh it will, trust me," she said before falling asleep. I sighed again before following her, falling into dreams filled with football, light sabres and Damien. Sigh.
We were running late. Neither of us had woken up on time, and had slept through the alarm. We had woken up at 8, with school starting in an hour. In the end Josh and Damien had already left, us saying we'll get there.
I told Alice I would skateboard to school and she just shook her head before getting in her car and driving off. We had 10 minutes till school started. I took my shoes off and held them in my hands as I boarded all the way to school.
I met Alice by the door and she checked my hair and clothes before opening the door. Everyone was staring. I took a deep breath. Revenge. Remember the revenge.
Alice was smiling at me and we were chatting about out plans for the weekend, even though it was Monday. Oi...
I got to my locker and opened it before I heard it.
"JO! WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU WEARING?!?" My brother shouted, running towards me and wrapping a jacket around my bare legs.
I rolled my eyes, "Their called clothes, Josh."
He snorted, "I would beg to differ."
I sighed and tugged the jacket off my legs, "It's called a skirt, brother."
He glared at me, "I know that, but why are YOU wearing it? And that top? And-omg, is that MAKE-UP?!"
I nodded and smiled at him. "I wanted a change. To get into my feminine side. Alice helped with that." I turned back round to my locker and then realized that I had no books in there. At all. Huh.
I shook my head, shoved my skateboard in there and slammed it shut. I turned back to my brother, who was glaring at every guy that looked at me, "I'll see you later. I said I would meet up with someone."
"Who?" He demanded, his gaze snapping back to mine.
I shrugged my shoulders and said lightly, "Oh you know, just a friend. So, I'll see you around."
With that I walked off with Alice, trying not to laugh. When we rounded the corner I lent against the wall and let it all out. "Oh, his face was hilarious!" I gasped once I'd stopped.
"I know! Imagine his face later!" Alice said, trying to get her breath back.
We smiled at each other and headed off towards lessons. I'll never know how Alice managed to switch classes so that she's in all of mine.
"Hey babe," some guy said as he walked past me. I smiled at him and lent further back in my seat.
I probably should explain. I was wearing a short, black mini skirt, that was all ruffles and a red strappy top that showed some cleavage. Oh yeah, I have cleavage. Quite a lot of it surprisingly. When I saw I was sure I was looking at someone elses' reflection. Anyway, I was also wearing heels and had a light jacket with me, seeing as it was summer. I had a bit of make-up on and my hair was shiny and in curls all down my back.
So far, about 10 guys have called me 'babe'. Eight have given me their number and 12 have asked me out. I didn't even know we HAD that many pervs at the school!
This is part of my revenge, obviously. I was going to be a 'girl' for 5 months. The exact length of time that Josh had a girlfriend and didn't tell me. Only this? This would be more painful.
Cue the maniac laughter...
The bell rang and my brother along with Damien walked in. Damien stared at me with wide eyes, clearly in shock, while Josh was glaring at everyone who was staring at me. I smiled at them and waved slightly. This is going to be fun.
***
I rubbed my feet and groaned. Ouch. Stupid heels. I stood up and then hopped on my skateboard. Just as I was about to leave school grounds, my brother stopped me. He had wide eyes and was gaping like a fish, all the while glaring at every guy still. Josh, Damien (who was gaping too), Tom and Chase were stood at the gate. I stopped and placed one foot on the ground.
"What?" I asked, pretending to be impatient.
"What are you doing tonight?" Josh demanded.
I looked the ground and shifted my weight, "I'm, uh, going out."
"Where?" Damien asked.
"Just...around," I said vaguely.
Josh's eyes narrowed, "Jo, what are you doing?"
"Trying to leave school, is what I'm doing," I replied smartly.
Chase asked, "What's with the clothes?"
I shrugged, "Thought I should get in touch with my feminine side."
Tom and Chase's eyes widened. "But- why?" Tom asked.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever. I'm going now." I turned to Josh, "I'll be back...later."
I rode past them, all the while trying to hide my smile. The looks on all their faces...priceless. I am SO gonna have to take a picture next time.
I bopped my head to imaginary music as I skated along. A car honked and I looked over to see Alice in her car. I beamed, "Hey!" I stopped and hopped off my board before picking it up and running over to her car. I hopped in the passenger side and she grinned.
"So, you ready for a girls night out?" she asked, putting her car into gear and zooming off at 20 mph. Oi. She drives to the speed limit. Yay.
I grimaced, "Ugh. Not really. Just because I'm wearing this outfit and flirted -gag- with a guy at lunch, doesn't mean I enjoy being a-"
"Girl?" Alice cut in.
I smiled slightly, "Exactly. Anyway, what are we doing tonight?"
"Well, at around 10 O'Clock, you are going to call up your brother and tell him your gonna be back late. But there's gonna be music and guys and you will be drunk."
I gaped at her, "Are you shitting me? I want REVENGE, not get killed by him!"
"Look, if you aren't REALLY gonna be drunk. You're just going to pretend to be. We are actually going to watch movies while we do homework and eat ice cream."
I waved my hand nonchalantly, "I don't do homework. And I can't eat anymore ice cream. There's a game coming up and I WILL play. I've already missed 7 games!"
Alice shook her head, "How is it that you NEVER do your homework or even work during school and yet your an A* student?"
I shrugged, "Dunno."
She shook her head and simply turned up her music. I groaned and covered my ears. I have nothing against Spice Girls, but seriously? I think I'll be deaf by the time we get back to hers. Thankfully, it only took 5 minutes to get there and I all but dived out the car. I ran up to her front door and waited for her to come open it. We both walked in and were greeted by Jane. Alice's Mum.
"Alice!" She gave her a huge hug and then gazed at me, "Who's your new friend?"
I rolled my eyes and smiled, "Mrs G! It's me! Jo!"
Her eyes widened in shock, "Jo? THE Jo who Alice has been trying to give a make over to? The girl who's on the guys football team?"
I grinned and nodded, "Yep. The very same."
"Well come on then. Time for some ice cream while you explain all THIS to me," she said, walking into the kitchen. I followed and plopped myself down on a stool. What is it with Alice's family and ice cream? Every time I come here they shove a tub of ice cream down my throat. Not that I mind, obviously.
Half an hour later, and a tub of Rocky Road, we had explained everything Mrs G. She shooed us off upstairs after giving us a few tips. And permission to play music REALLY loudly at 10. We both ran upstairs with two tubs each of cookie dough and mint choc chip each. When we got to her room -which was pink and frilly. Shocking, I know- we both collapsed on her bed and watched films. Much to my dismay we watched chick flicks, like Pretty Woman and then she forced me to watch Annie Get Your Gun. I fell asleep after 10 minutes. Although I have to admit that every time Annie's mouthed dropped open when she saw that Frank dude WAS funny. It made me giggle but then I was asleep, so I didn't see the rest. Thankfully, Alice let me choose the next film. Unfortunately, the scariest film she had was Prom Night. Which wasn't the scariest one I'd seen, that's for sure. But it'd have to do.
Half way through, Alice had just screamed and was clinging to my arm when her alarm went off. She screamed again until I threw some popcorn in there, forcing her to stop. It was 10. Time to call.
"Okay, so you know what you've got to do?" Alice asked me once she'd calmed down. I nodded and picked up the phone. Alice pressed play on the DVD and the beginning scene from The Covenant, you know where they're at the beach? Yeah, we were playing that.
I dialled the number and he picked up a second after the first room, "Jo? Is that you?"
"Josh!!" I cried, slurring my words slightly. "What ya doing ringin' ma phone?"
"Jo, you called me. And are you slurring your words?"
I snorted, "Coursh not Joshy. Listen, I'm afraid I'm gonna be late 'ome."
"Late?! It's already 10 O'Clock! And it's a school night!!" He shouted.
"Is it? Bloody hell-"
I got 'interupted' by Alice's brother (who we blackmailed into doing this. Well, Alice blackmailed him.) "Jo! Babe, what ya doing over there?"
"Who the fuck is that?!" Josh screamed in my ear. I smothered my giggle.
"Hey!" I slurred.
"Jo, babe, come sit on my lap!" Shane (Alice's bro) slurred from the doorway. He rolled his eyes and i had to stuff my fist in my mouth to stop from laughing.
"Jo! Don't you dare sit on his lap!!" Josh shouted loudly.
"But Josh," I whined, "He's hot!!"
"What the fuck are you on?? Did you just call someone 'hot'?!"
"JJooosssshhhh!!" I whined, "Lishen, I'll be back...ugh, later? Okies?"
"No! NO! Not 'Okies'!! Don't you dare hang up on me! Where the fuck are you?!"
"Uh..." I was silent for a minute before I burst out giggling, "I dunno! It's a myshteriiiieeee!!"
"Jesus Jo! Your drunk, at a party with some random guys and you don't even know where you are?!" He ranted, "Who are you with? How did you get there?"
"Uhh..." I said, smothering Alice with a pillow when she started laughing. "I shunno Joshhhh! Babe, where are we?"
Shane rolled his eyes and shook his head, "I dunno. Mmm, that feels nice," he moaned. I bit my lip hard so that I wouldn't laugh out loud.
"WHAT THE FUCK FEELS NICE?!?!?" Jo bellowed.
"Mm," I moaned, "Lishen, I gotta goooo. Byyyeee!!"
I hung up just as he was screaming at me not to hang up. Alice and I burst out laughing and collapsed on her bed while Shane rolled his eyes and walked off. We turned off the film and laughed for another 20 minutes before Mrs G turned up at the door.
"So, I take it it went well?" she asked.
We burst out laughing in response. When we calmed down I told her what happened and she too started laughing. Once we'd all relaxed I asked, "Mrs G?? We have a slight problem with this plan."
"What's that?"
"Well," I glanced at Alice and saw her frowning too. Huh. Guess she hadn't thought of this either, "the plan was for me to pretend to be drunk. But it's gonna be pretty obvious that I'm not drunk if I don't smell of alcohol."
So that was how, near midnight, I was stumbling along the pavement, smelling of alcohol. Noo, I'm not drunk. Mrs G was nice enough to let me gargle some alcohol. And practically bathe in it. Alice had changed my clothes, so now I was wearing a mini black leather skirt and a red leather top that was simply held by two strings behind my back. All it covered was my chest. I tell you, Alice practically wrestled me into it, which is pretty hard since, you know, I play football and tackle/get tackled by people every week. I was also wearing a pair of bright red stiletto's. Hence the stumbling. I have to admit, it made a pretty good 'drunk' effect.
I stumbled all the way inside the building and up to my door. Then I fell and banged into it. I burst out laughing and lent against the door laughing my ass off when it was suddenly flung open. I fell and landed on my back.
"Joshie!" I cried. I started laughing again and once I'd wiped the tears I saw the pissed off look on his face.
"What are you wearing?! And what is that smell?! Jo, are you drunk?!" He shouted at me. When I didn't answer, he growled (yes, growled!) and picked me up, flinging me over his shoulder. I started laughing manically. Wow, I never knew how much fun it was pretending to be drunk.
Josh started ranting, "How did you get home? You better not tell me that GUY bought you back."
"Which one?" I giggled.
I heard him make a disgusted sound and he carried me into the bathroom. Then he dumped me in the shower and turned the water on full blast. It was freezing.
I screamed and jumped up, tottering in my heels, "What the hell?!"
"Oh, so your sober now?" he asked. I glared at him and he crossed his arms. "What were you thinking?" He demanded in a deadly calm tone.
"I was having fun. Being a girl," I stated.
His clam facade disappeared, "A GIRL?! That's what all this is about? You want to be 'girl'?! Jo, if you haven't notice, YOU ALREADY ARE ONE!!"
I rolled my eyes and stumbled out the bath. "Listen, can we save this for tomorrow? I'm so tired. You would not believe what happened tonight."
"Your right, I won't," he stated, blocking my way out, "Because I never thought that my twin would dress up like a slut and whore herself about. What happened to you Jo? Since when have you cared about how you look?" When I didn't reply he narrowed his eyes, "Wait a second..Your not really drunk are you?!"
Oh shit. I managed to keep a blank face, but then he peered really closely (and I mean close) and the 'Oh Shit' expression appeared. "JO! You have 3 seconds to tell me what the fuck is going on!!"
He counted to three and I remained silent, looking at the floor. I am in deep shit now. "This is some sort of REVENGE isn't it?" He figured. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shi- "I know you Jo. So this is your revenge? On me having a girlfriend?"
I rolled my eyes, "Please. Your girlfriend is wicked. This is revenge on the fact that you never told me. For 5 WHOLE MONTHS."
"What was your plan anyway? Whore yourself out in revenge?"
I snorted and looked at him, shaking my head, "You know me Josh. Am I really the sort of person to whore myself out?" He shook his head, "Exactly. I was faking it."
I sighed, "I have to admit, this was the worst revenge I've ever done though. It was more torture on me than you. Do you know what Alice put me through:? And the outfits, my god!" Josh chuckled and I asked hesitantly, "Does this mean I'm forgiven?"
He sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. "Yes, as long as you go back to your normal seldf."
I nodded enthusiastically, "Deal. Now I'm gonna shower, change and go to bed." Josh gave me a hug.
"Fine. But never do this again."
I laughed, "Fine. I'll never do THIS again. But I WILL get revenge on you. But more my style."
He groaned and walked to the door, "Great," he muttered. I chuckled before taking of the squeaky leather and climbing in the shower. I finally got the smell of alcohol off me and had to gargle about 10 bottle of mouthwash, but it worked. I was clean, dressed and absolutely hanging.
So much for revenge. I'm gonna have to think of something better. Something more my style....
AN: Okay, so I know it's short and the whole revnge plan totally didn't work. I have to admit, it was the worst revenge i've ever thought up. Hence it Josh figured it out. The revenge gets MUCH better. Please review! And feel free to tell me any ideas about revenge. I have some, but use most of them in my other story 'We're enemies! Aren't we?' So feel free to tell me some :D
