The Mermaid Lagoon

Chapter Eight- Outcasts

"We're here!" Adien yelled.

"YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!" Ray screamed.

"RUN AIDEN" Everyone shouted.

"But I want..." He started.

"CHICKEN WINGS WE KNOW!!! SO RUN BEFORE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO EAT CHICKEN WINGS!!!" I yelled.

"I can't imagine that so... I'M OUT!" Adien bolted in the opposite direction. Ray started running after him but Myles and I grabbed her arms before she could get too far.

"LET ME AT HIM!!!" She screamed.

"No!!!" Me and Myles yelled. Adien stopped running. He had seen a lemonade stand.

"Adien" I sneered. "Run!"

"Do you guys have cheese?" He asked the 5 year olds running the stand.

"No but..." They started.

"AHHHHHH YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO SOCIETY!" He flipped over the lemonade stand.

"So are you!" Myles laughed.

"ROASTED!" I giggled. I collapsed to the ground laughing.

"AHHHHH!" Ray screamed as she wriggled free from Myles grip.

"RUN AIDEN!" Myles yelled.

"Why?" He asked. 2 seconds later Ray was on top of him, ready to knock the cheese out of Aiden.

"Rip Adien." Said Myles humbly.

"Should we bury him with cheese?" Skylar asked.

"Nah he already smells like cheese." Parker said doodling in his weird book thing.

"For lord's sake can we just go to MCDonalds?" Dylan sighed.

"DON'T. SAY. THAT." Payton glared at Dylan.

"Let's Go already!" I said, still laughing. Ray started to get off in Adien. The group walked toward the building with a weird M on it. We walked up to the front desk.

"Hi welcome to McDonalds how may I help you?" The Worker sighed.

"Can I get cheese?" Adien asked.

"Excuse me?" The worker asked.

"Can I get cheese?" Adien repeated.

"What about your Chicken wings?" Haddie asked.

"SHUT UP HADDIE!" Adien snapped.

"Sir we don't just serve cheese." The worker said, looking bored.

"THEN I'M SUING YOU!" Adien screeched.

"Can I get a happy meal? What's a happy meal?" Payton asked

"Uhhhhhh...? Do you want chicken or a cheese burger?" They said, confused.

"Did someone say cheese?" Adien shoved Payton out of the way.

"Uhhhhhhh Chicken!" Payton danced happily.

"Six piece or four piece?" The worker asked suspiciously.

"I can have six chickens? I want six!" Payton was practically jumping off the walls.

"Okay...? What do you want to drink? Water, Rootbeer, Dr.Pepper, Coke..." Payton interrupted her.

"COKE!" She shook Adien most likely giving him whiplash.

"I smell cheese!" Adien exclaimed, pulling free from Payton's grip and shoved the group aside.

"Mind I ask but why aren't you smiling?" Payton asked.

"Because I hate my job!" The worker answered.

"Then come with us!" Paige exclaimed.

"FINALLY I CAN LEAVE!?!?!"The worker yelled a little too loud. She ran out the door and screamed on the street: "I'M FREE!"

"Okay..." Skylar sounded kindia weirded out.

"Here is your food! Sorry about them..." A boy behind us said.

"Thanks!" I took the food and ran to a table.

"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" Payton was chugging the coke she ordered. I rolled my eyes.

"I've never done that before!" She looked like she was gonna have a sugar rush. " I feel so... BAD!" She smiled a wicked smile. She rushed to open the rest of the Happy Meal. "Oh. I'm not a fan of oranges" Payton said, pulling out a perfectly ripe orange. "Adien do you want this?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH" Adien screamed and jumped out the tinted window in front of him.

"Adien!" I yelled. I ran over to the window.

"Hey! He's gonna have to pay for that!" The boy that was working behind the counter trotted over.

"Say hi!" Ray whispered in my ear harshly.

"Um. Hi I'm Kacy..." I stuck you my hand.

"Hello, I'm Jay." He smiled and shook my hand. "I don't think I've ever seen you around here."

"Small town? I mean! I just moved here." I stuttered.

"Cool where from?" He asked. Where from?!?! I was busted.

"We just moved here from Atlanta!" Ray jumped in.

"Nice. Are you sisters?" Me and Ray looked at each other.

"Yes!" We both lied.

"That's just cold hearted you lairs. You know what Adien's my new brother. I better go check on my new totally biological brother." Addie jump through the window.

"Um. Hey! I have an Idea! Do you and your friends want to come swimming at Mermaid Lagoon?" Jay asked us.

"Sure!" I exclaimed. "Uh we better go see if Adien's okay. We'll make him pay for the window!" I ran out of the building. Adien was lying on the ground uncoinus. I felt his pulse. "HIS HEART'S NOT BEATING!" I panicked. Myles came running.

"I can resurrect him!" Myles smiled. "I have cheese!" Myles held a block of cheese above Adien. He sat up.

"I smell cheese!" He sniffed. Myles put the block of cheese into Adien's hand.

"Oh you guys!" I started. Everyone turned towards me. "Um, do you wanna go to the Mermaid Lagoon?"

"Well it's not like I have a life to attend to." Addie sighed.

"Because you don't." Ray replied.

"SHUT UP!" Addie screeched. "I'll wear this, because I have nothing else to wear." I pointed at my outfit. I noticed that I was wearing jean shorts and a white shirt with a rainbow butterfly on it.

"What? You can't wear clothes swimming!" Dylan scowled.

"You have to wear a swimsuit!" Parker added.

"A swim suit? I don't own one of those." I replied.

"Oh no no no no!" Jordyn said. "Raise your hand if you don't have a swimsuit!" Me, Ray, Payton, Addie, Brooks, Haddie, Sean, Saddie, Jamie, Ali and Adien raised their hand. "Come, I will buy all of you one! Except for Adien. Adien, you stay here." Jordyn said.

"WHAA!" Adien complined.

"If you stay here I'll give you cheese!" Skylar smirked.

"Come on guys!" Jordyn exclaimed and all of us followed. What in the world was a swimsuit? Eh. I'd find out.
