The Key Event

'''So basically, this story is going to be about Infinite and her friends trying to find a key in a circus but they get trapped. This is by Safetystoryluv, please don't edit without permission.'''

Chapter One
"Mom, I'll be fine!" Infinite said, rolling her eyes. Her mom was telling her all the rules for the 5th time. She knew them pretty well since the lecture stretched to the length of her own life.

Her mom rubbed her forehead and looked up one last time. "You sure?"

"Yeah, mom. Dad's waiting. You should go."

She ran over to her mom and gave her a kiss. She walked her out to the car where she gave her father a final hug goodbye. She waved them all the way out of the driveway before they were just a tiny dot circling away in the distance.

Smiling happily, she relaxed. A whole week of being alone. What could possibly happen?

The next day at school, she found her friends, Alec and Sophie, waiting for her outside the doors. She smiled and waved to them, trotting faster to reach their comforting smiles and welcomes.

(oof, first-person)

"Want to have a party?" Sophie said immediately, pulling out a notebook. "I planned it all out this weekend. Surprise!" She flipped through what seemed like 100 pages. I focused on Alec. "Any news?" I asked.

"Sure." He said. "If you count beating a skateboard high score."

"Oh, good job!"

We silently walked through the school. I waved as Alec parted his ways. Sophie then whispered to me, as we passed the English classroom, "You like him."

. . . . . . . . . 

"Do not!" I protested, but Sophie was already heading over to her seat. Everyone hushed me and I turned red and took my seat, peering up at the board. I started on my work before the person next to me slipped me a note. Groaning, I opened it.

Hey!

''How are things going with Alec? ''

Love, Kassy

I rolled my eyes. I was really tired of Kassy's notes. She frequently sent them to me through any class she could. She knew how much I hung out with Alec. But even I tried to convince myself I didn't like him, though if I said it I'd be dead meat in 5 seconds.

Basically, Kassy's best friend is the most popular girl I know of. And everybody worships her. So, I guess that's fortunate. Except for the fact she's also out for Alec. That's why I've held back, even at the most romantic moments. Yeah, it's pretty sucky.

I tucked the note in my pocket and scribbled another one. The animal next to me took it and I saw it passed down the line to Kassy.

Her reaction was priceless.

Dear Kassy,

''Jealous people don't get in on the drama. And back off. Not sure Katie would approve of you going out for him, would she? ''

I wish you the best of luck with her,

   Kelli

Her face was pale and red all at the same time. Her hands fumbled for a pen. That's when Mr. Brown caught her fooling around, trying to crumple the embarrassing note.

"Unfold that, Kassy," He said, nearing her desk.

"Uh... uh..."
