Chapter 97 The Pawty pt. 1

"I am saying this because it seems like you forgot that I am not good with children," I muttered silently through gritted teeth as I watch Northon doing the best that he can to pull the young girl away the cotton candy bar. A cotton candy bar in a kid's party. A cotton candy bar. 'I still can't believe that kids nowadays would rather rent the whole carnival than go to one." I added as I fix my ponytail. "I know." Weston scoffed. He then looks at me through his lashes because he is now holding the girl down the floor, "And I am not good with them myself." I hissed angrily, "Then why the hell did you said yes for babysitting?!" I bent down and took his grip off the girl's waist. I looked at the pretty brunette and said, 'No running, and no jumping. Okay?" She nodded. Hesitantly, I let her go. She giggled and started hopping to a group of kids wearing bright colored neon skirts and roller skates. Most likely and hopefully her friends. "I need cash, alright?" He muttered as he stands up and brush off the invisible dust off his knees. "I gotta ‘earn' Easton's trust back, and knowing him, I have to pay for it. I need cash too." He scoffs. 'He's just jealous that he did not get any money from his work." I do not think so, but okay. "We." Easton cuts in as he roll his eyes and fixed his glasses, "We need cash." "Oh?" I raised an eyebrow. 'So, you decided to babysit a toddler's birthday party?" I mocked, "Because that's the best and easiest way to earn cash?" I held my temple. 'I cannot believe you guys." "Sarcasm aside, it really is." I scoffed. 'I do not think so." Easton grabs the black trash bag on the ground and shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, isn't it a pity that a young boy is spending his birthday without his parents because they are working?" "They're working?" I asked out loud while grabbing the other trash bag. "Mmhm." Weston nodded, "They are working their ass off." 'Isn't that a good thing, though?" 'They are doing that because they do not have to get to spend their time with their child." Easton muttered grumpily. "Damn." I tsked while shaking my head disappointingly, "It really is a pity." "It is." Easton sighs as he threw the trash bag aside and took a small bottle out of his jean pocket. A hand sanitizer. "Dude," I gawked at him, "Do you always bring that?" He raised an eyebrow to look at me questioningly. North scoffs. "You never knew?" Shaking my head out of amusement, I said, 'I mean, I just was not expecting that he was literally bringing it everywhere." 'Now you know." I sighed and asked Weston a question I did not get to ask him earlier, "So, why am I here?" "Because I need help." He said. "And I'm getting paid for this, right?" I simply wiped my hands behind my back because I am gross like that. 'I'm not suffering with you for free." "I said 'to help' not to 'rob me', okay?" With that, he ran away knowing that I would most likely choke him. Tsk. I cannot believe that he is giving me the 'we're family" job description. This should be illegal. I was about to say something again when Northon suddenly screamed on top of his lungs, "IT'S TIIIIIIIME!" Suddenly, all the lights were shut off. Darkness swallowed everyone whole and an eerie tune was played out of nowhere. It was like a creepy cliché movie where black outs mean someone died, or someone is about to die. It's creepy. So creepy. Is this the moment where we are all going to die? Poor kids, they are too young. Then again, at least they did not have to go through adulthood and worry about their future. Or hey, at least they don't have to go through puberty. Lucky brats. A few seconds later, what seems like a gigantic aquarium appeared in the middle of the room and colored party lights flashed on it. Pink, blue, and green lights. The aquarium is like the one I remembered seeing in the H20: Just Add Water behind the scene videos in Youtube. It was gigantic. I assume that is it at least seven feet high and definitely a few meters wide -probably ten. The only reasonable reason for this aquarium to be here would either be: a)     H20 suddenly had a revive show and decided to shoot here. b)     A shark will come out and entertain these brave children. c)      the parents decided to get rid of all their children by drowning them or d) A mix of b and c except a shark will come out and eat these children, ripping them into shreds because their parents decided to get rid of all of them! 'What is happening?" I whispered urgently as I take a step back and scoot closer to Easton. 'Please do not tell me that it is what I think it is." East scoffed. 'It is not what you think it is." 'How would you know?" Easton Delgado is intelligent and probably a genius, but I doubt that he can read minds. I do not think so. I terribly hope that he cannot. It is pretty weird up here. 'Your mind tends to go past the boundary of logical and most likely can go insane." Easton chuckled slowly. 'Excuse me?" 'You are excused." He muttered as he walked away. Oh my gosh. I held my breath and braced myself because I cannot believe this is happening. I looked at to my left and saw Northon smirking widely. This monster. I need help. Help! I looked around for Weston and felt my heart drop when he is not around. Where did he go? Oh gosh, is he prepping the shark? Or is he prepping the children? North did say that they need the money. My parents are assassins, and I know that they get a hefty amount to kill people. Like, boom boom to a person can help boom boom to their wallets. I mean, what is a life if it is equivalent to a minimum of half a million dollars, right? OH MY GOSH. I think I am going to puke. Is this what Easton meant when he said that this is the easiest way to earn money? There was a swift movement underneath the water. I could not see that clear because my eyes are still adjusting from the darkness. Okay, so it is letter d! D! It is a shark! IT IS A SHARK! I started breathing deeply and I think my fingers went numb. I cannot believe these triplets. How could they? I mean yeah, I guess children are annoying. Kids can be brats. But they are just kids. KIDS! Killing them would not save them from puberty. Honestly, I think puberty is not that bad. I mean, who am I kidding. It is that bad. But still, they should not die. I mean if they will, then they deserve a better death than getting ripped into shreds by a shark. Their blood doesn't have to mix with the pool water and become a pool of blood! I cannot take this anymore. I took a step closer to the glass aquarium and leaned closer. I need to look at the shark. I need to see the animal first before calling 911. Screw the cousin-code. I am not doing this with them. Something passed by in front of me and it seems like a human-sized creature with a tail... A human-sized… what? I gasped when a sparkly purple mermaid tail was shone by the light. Oh… so it is an A? I gasped loudly because I cannot believe I am going to see the new actor for H20. I love that show. ‘Cause, I'm no ordinary girl. I grinned excitedly and scooted closer to a random kid beside me. I looked to my left and saw the brunette kid from earlier giggling and clapping her hands. I clapped mine along hers. I started laughing because my bubbliness cannot be contained. I am so excited. I cannot believe that this is happening right now. And just like that, the lights focused on the mermaid. I froze when I saw who it was. Elliot Freaking Langston.   T
