Peeking from her bedroom curtain
I didn't notice anything.
whispering Ugh, Klaussi, I wish you'd pay attention. Look over there! That must be Ma'Kianna's house. She's probably been avoiding us.
Who's Ma'Kianna? turns toward that direction
sighs, annoyed Ma'Kianna is that quiet girl who lives across the street. We used to be friends when we were kids, but ever since West became head cheerleader, she started bullying me.
Where does this West live? Do I need to go beat her up or smth?
raises an eyebrow Um, Klaussi, no violence please. And West lives in this very house. That's why I've been avoiding her all this time.
Does she live alone or does she have family here too?
nervously Well, her parents live here too, but they're usually pretty oblivious to what's going on. It's just West and her little brother, Kyle.
Is it ok if I crash there later? So that I can protect you from West?
blushing, nervously twirling a strand of hair Um, Klaussi, that's really sweet of you, but I don't want you to get caught up in my mess.
Don't worry about me. winks
squints at Klaussi, still unsure Alright, but you owe me big time if things go south.
What time should I show up?
quickly glancing back at her phone How about 8 PM? That should give us enough time to set up a plan before the party starts.
Okay, see ya then. walks back to my place
<At 8 PM, Klaussi arrives at Ma'Kianna's house, ready to confront West.>
Alright. Let's make a plan then. What exactly should we do here?
paces around nervously Well, we need to catch West off guard. Maybe we could sneak into the party unnoticed and gather some evidence against her.
Sure thing. Can I get some water real quick first?
rolls her eyes Klaussi, this isn't the time for getting water. We need to focus on the plan.
But if I drink alcohol then I can legally fight you know..
stops pacing and looks at Klaussi, concern evident in her eyes
It'll be fine! Besides everyone there will probably be drunk anyway!
frustrated, grabs Klaussi's arm No, Klaussi! We can't risk it. We need to stay calm and focused if we want to expose West's bullying.
Fine.. okay no alcohol for me today.. I promise. So should we try to cause any chaos or just play it cool?
takes a deep breath Let's start by playing it cool. We'll act like normal guests at the party.
I agree. Stranger puts a finger to their lips, signaling silence Let's observe first. We can formulate our next move once we have more information.
whispers Alright, let's keep a low profile and mingle with the crowd. We need to find out what West's game plan is tonight.
Good call. Let's blend in. I look around for any sign of trouble or clues
spots West in the corner, talking to a group of people There she is, Klaussi. Keep an eye on her while I mix and mingle.
Gotcha. Just tell me if anything fishy is going on. leans against the wall, eyes fixed on West
walks over to a group of people, pretending to be interested in their conversation So, how's everyone doing tonight? Enjoying the party?
This party's a bust unless something wild happens. I'm keeping an eye on West though, she seems pretty guarded tonight.
whispers to Klaussi Hey, Klaussi, over here! Follow me. I think I found something interesting in the backyard.
