Subject: admire-me/chapter 10/code black

       I know it's been a long time since I have updated this story. The
only thing I can say is, I hope everyone is still interested in it. It's
been about two years, since the last time I updated admire me. So I hope
you all re read some of the old chapters to re familiarize yourselves with
these characters. As the author I would love feedback, so I will get some
clear idea of who all still likes my writing. I wanted to thank Rai Cumming
for continuously being a fan when my computer stopped working. :)

       Where we last left off Braylon had reconstructed a three man
clique. Jade, Korbyn and himself.  But his history with Korbyn makes him
keep a close eye on the frienemy. Being Alpha of the clique Braylon has to
take charge against another so called Alpha, David. Who has stolen Keylan
and Ryan from his clique...

       ****Chapter 10: Code Black
       Korbyn was proving to be a proficient member. Surprisingly, he kept
his side of the plan, by bringing me one of the three things I needed from
the list. Jade brought three red markers, and I had to bring the most
important ingredient to make code red a success.

        "Let's go see what happens when the bell rings" Jade suggested. He
seemed more thrilled than anyone else. He wanted David, Keylan and Ryan to
go down silently and quickly.
       "Yes, I want to witness what the three of us did together," Korbyn
said standing up from the table. With a smirk showing the metal gleam of
braces "But Braylon this is your plan, right? So, if it doesn't succeed,
you have to take the blame."

       "Thank you a lot, let's hurry. We only have three minutes before the
first bell rings." I replied a little aggravated by Korbyn's
comment. "People are going to be occupying the halls."  I took a glance a
my cell phone for the time.
       We walked the halls in formation. I was in the middle while Jade
stood at my right and Korbyn on the left, just over my shoulder. I wanted
to slap him for doubting my skills to pull a plan through. "Stop. This will
give us the view we need to watch the success of our plan." I told them
coming to a short halt. "We can watch the chaos from this minimal
distance."
       Brrrrrrrrrrrinnngggg!!! The bell rung loud over the hall. The
students carried on piling the hallways as normal. My nerves we on the edge
of their nerves. I want this to go through.
       We watched everybody open their lockers, talking to their
friends. They have no clue in a minute, there will be hysteria roaming
these halls.
       "There is Sabre, Ryan's girl." Jade informed watching her talk to
Ryan with flirtatious eyes. They were both on their way to her locker, lost
in their own lovely world of romance.
       "Korbyn?" I asked, "Did you retrieve the right locker number?" I
should have asked that earlier, but some things spring forward last minute.
       More students flooded in. my teethe chattered with the thick blanket
of nervous tension unfolding in the air.
       "Yes... see she is about to open it!" Korbyn answered pointing in
her direction using his golden spikes of hair.
       I could hear Jade on my right, "Come on, come on, open it, open
it..." shaking his leg impatiently. I was almost itching to do the same,
but as an Alpha I had to show a different reaction from Jade.
       She flung her locker open, not paying attention. She was so caught
up in what that 'fake' Ryan had to say. Sabre was so busy she neglected to
see a-
       "OH MY GOSH!" Jade blared, pointing at the ground near sabre's feet.
       The bodies that crowded the halls went nuts. All the students broke
out in their own catastrophic way. Trying to react to what was
happening. Everyone was running around trying to get away from the horrific
scene.
       Voices, screams, and insults from students all around swiped at
Sabre.
       "That's so sick!"
       "Why would she put it in her locker?"
       "Nasty."
       "That is not sanitary, it is filthy."
       Sabre had nowhere to run, her body was in shock. She was caught so
far off guard I had to laugh. How vulnerable.
       The people's reaction did the rest of the work for me. "Go look,"
some jock boy said to his friends. "Sabre has a tampon..."
       She was blushing, and she found herself immobile, in the unannounced
disaster.  Ryan froze also. He had to be at her side, because that was his
girlfriend. He was humiliated with her. One of the best treats I have ever
seen.
       Korbyn's blue magical eyes fell on me. "You are pretty good at this
stuff." He said. I was living on that comment, it made a sneer cross my
mouth.
       The three things I needed for code red was: Locker number, which was
provided by Korbyn. Red markers which came from Jade, and the tampon (me).
       "How about we go pour salt on her wounds." Jade smirked, rubbing his
hands together.
       "I love the way you think." I told him and we began to march through
the blurring chaotic hall.
       "Oh, is it that time of month again." Korbyn didn't wait to
say. Giving a grimace at Sabre and Ryan. They both had no words to say. I
think the embarrassment snatched all their words from them.
       Oops! I think that is my fault.
       "Who is going to pick that bloody thing up. I'm so scared. I think I
might puke."  Jade dramatized, while we laughed.
       "Braylon, you had something to do with this. I know you." Ryan
angrily accused me.
       "Who me?" I was shrugging innocently. "I'm sinless. I would never
dare." Hearing Jade and Korbyn snickering I went for a jab. "Every girl
should know not to put their business in their lockers like that."
       "You will pay!" Ryan jaw muscle flexed as he spoke. Ryan wasn't a
man of many words when he was in my clique. But in knowing him I've never
seen him get this mad. It spooked me to hear him say that.
       "Are we supposed to be scared? Don't make us laugh." Korbyn filled
in for me.
       "Let's go guys. Code red was a success." I mumbled strutting off
with the best clique I have ever managed. I have to give them their kudos,
they stuck it out with me through this, and they are hardcore.
       After Ryan's declaration of war with my clique. We promised to see
to it, that David's little marching band he calls a clique. Experience the
beauty of pain we inflict.
       The clique face off brought a stronger bond between Korbyn and I. we
could sit around in each other's presence without fighting, and that was
beauty to me. We arranged for Jade's house to be our external meeting
spot. Since, his mom rarely is home and Things were going good.
       *Two days later*
       I was standing next to my locker surrounded by my clique. I was
trying not to over react to what Jade was telling me. "He spreaded that
rumor about you." Jade gossiped.  Telling me someone in David's clique told
everybody in the school Jade and I were gay.  Then Keylan said 'that was
the reason they didn't want to be in the clique anymore.'
       They were striking back! With all the plans I was preparing for, I
didn't see them trying to stab me from that direction.
       I turned holding my book, "They must be crazy."
        They weren't playing. I knew when Ryan said I would pay he wasn't
playing. The words still give me shudders.
       "They are crazy," Korbyn was talking now. "They wrapped my house and
flatten my dad's tires."
       "What?" was all I could come out with, these guys were dealing fatal
blows.  I didn't think they would have it in them to wage on. I should have
taken their threats more seriously, I should have thought more on the sick
faces they made at me.
       No time to waste this must be dealt with immediately.
       Korbyn went on to tell us the last details of what they did to him,
"they egged my house and my dad's car, then they spray painted 'Loser' in
my front yard." He was upset but he was holding his bottled anger well.
       I could tell David's clique was getting to us. We were all in some
kind of frustration while they were laughing and still carrying on with the
war. Jade and I were hating the students who kept randomly approaching us
asking 'are you gay?'
       It was an uncomfortable rumor that wouldn't shut up. But we kept
denying and admitting to nothing. It was nobody's business anyway.
       "I hate how they act now." Jade criticized, "They are the worst
pretenders I have ever met." The rumor was bothering Jade bad. The whole
thing was getting out of hand. I had to do something before this gets
carried away too far. After all, my clique is coming to me about the
problems we are facing. As an Alpha, it shouldn't take me long to calm
everyone down and invent a plan of attack.
       The problem was, I didn't have a plan at this time. "We find them,"
I sad slamming my fist into the metal locker. "And then we confront them."
I didn't know what else to do.  When all else fails hit the source
upfront. I hope this doesn't cost my clique anymore embarrassment.
       David thought he was so smart. If they thought code red was
something, wait until I use code black on them.
       Rushing through the school pushing every geek, and unimportant
person out of the way. We hunted for our prey. This was a literal face off
and also a warning before I released the damage code black would do.
       I figured since David was the alpha, Ryan and Keylan would be
wherever he was stationed at. I knew I was right when we made our way to
David's locker and I saw three barbarians in a huddle.
       "Is this a bad time?" I asked introducing my clique's arrival as
nasty as I could. We posed where we stood. I thought they needed some
teachings on who runs this school. Who better to teach them than me.
       "It's always a bad time whenever you show your face." David took
initiative to speak.  Ryan stood behind him, along with Keylan. They both
served as his flanks. Only to sit back and observe the alpha face off.
       "Ha-Ha. Not funny." I bit with sarcasm. "Anyway my clique and I have
a question for you David: who are you supposed to be?"
       Looking around playfully "obviously I'm David," he stuck his hand in
one of his pockets casually. "By the way I'm a straight male, in case you
didn't know."  A few chuckles came from the two pretenders behind him.
       At this time, people started to recognize something was going
on. Slowly they migrated toward us to see what was happening.
       "It sounds like David has something to hide," Korbyn retorted, "No
one ever asked for your orientation." Thank god, Korbyn had swept in, in
the nick of time again. He maybe a frienemy, but his comebacks are
reliable. The blond Hollister model knew his stuff.
       Ryan came out of nowhere "Korbyn, I have a question," he stepped
closer to David's side.  "How has you dad been getting to work lately?" he
started twirling his car keys in his hand, laughing.
       I didn't know Ryan could talk back. I don't think I was the only
person surprised by his sudden need to talk. This argument was getting ugly
fast.
       "Shut up Ryan," Jade's voice broke through Ryan's deep chuckle. "You
wouldn't even have a car or money if your so called 'parents' hadn't
adopted you." I could tell Jade lashed Ryan. He took a gulp like he
swallowed a dry pill.
       'Oooohhs' and 'ahhhs' came from the students who were being
entertained by the battle.
       Keylan's Hispanic tan stepped closer to the verbal war. "Speaking of
parents," Keylan said countering for Ryan. "Did you ever tell your mom you
were gay?"
       The hall went crazy with 'ooohs' too much noise was going on that
even if Jade wanted to say something back, he couldn't be heard.
       I felt it was my turn to step in again. "Keylan, how would you know
if anyone was gay? Are you trying to come out the closet yourself? I mean
what you are really hiding?"  the students started appraising me with
laughter. I wanted to continue to hold the students support, at the same
time I could deflect the gay rumor Keylan had put out.
       "Bray-" before Keylan could get another word out. I had to put his
mouth on lock. I couldn't afford him to get any words out edge wise.
       "Oh Keylan, I think your contacts are drying out." I was tired of
holding his secrets, especially after what he did to me. The gig was up. "I
think these people have a right to know your eyes aren't really green. You
just wish they were."
       As I let go of those words. Keylan kept blinking his eyes trying to
re-wetting his contacts.
       David must have felt sorry for his member, because he said "A man
wearing contacts isn't a problem, but a man wearing make-up is." He
finished giving me hateful eyes.  "You wear make-up."

       David was flat out lying. I never have touched make-up. I can't help
it, that my skin is naturally pretty.
       "Make-up? Ha! You wish. My skin is naturally flawless." I snorted in
a quick defense.  "I see that you are as tacky as they come. A loser
without obligation. A worthless, scud low, bottom feeder. I did my homework
on your type of species, and do you want to know what I discovered?" I said
addressing him and the other students. I let the dead air have a moment.
       Then I let out the pulverizing hit. "You love calling other people
gay, but if everyone knew your older brother was gay and he had a MySpace
account posing with his boyfriend...what would they say?" the halls cheered
and danced around with the ground shaking gossip I poured out.
       The students could handle the truth, but David couldn't for some
reason. He Walked out of the disruption with an angered face. Retreating
through the rowdy students as fast as he could.
       "That's right, run!" I shouted after him. "No matter where you go,
the truth won't be too far behind you." I announced before the principal
started stalking the halls.
       "Get to class the bell Rang!" she yelled making the numbers shuffle
down. I put fire under the heels of my feet, and hurried to class. I didn't
feel like sitting in detention.
       After the giant war of words in the hallway, Jade Korbyn and I came
to the conclusion to have a meeting at Jade's house. I called a meeting
because I felt that David was going to try a 'sneak attack'. The only way
to prevent further damage from happening to my members I had to strike
first by beating him to the punch.
       That is why we are at Jade's. To devise something to hit David and
his followers so hard they can only attack us out of blindness and
confusion.
       "What do you have in mind?" I asked enjoying the magic zinging
behind Korbyn's eyes. They held a power that only he gave off.
       "I don't know, but I really want to bring Keylan to the dirt." He
growled between his braces.
       Jade followed him with, "I want to sabotage Ryan. I almost dug my
fingernails into his skin in the hall today."
       I saw that we all picked our own targets out of their group. "From
the sound of things, we all might have our own projects in tearing them
down." As I mentioned this I began to click songs on Jade's
computer. "Korbyn you get Keylan. Jade you take Ryan, and I will take out
the alpha." I told them as they nodded in agreement with my decision.
       I knew my course of action. Suddenly I clicked on Lady Gaga-
paparazzi. I turned the volume up and sang along. Getting caught up in the
rhythm while I waited for Korbyn and Jade to find out what plans they would
use to take down their marks.
       "That song just gave me the idea I needed." Korbyn lit up
repositioning himself on Jade's bed. "The perfect attack for Keylan has to
be 'Swarm and Spread'."
       I stopped my singing. The title of his plan sounds like it leaves a
nasty after affect.  I'm glad he was in my clique. I would hate to climb
out of the damage that plan left behind.
       He continued to explain the plan. "Swarm and Spread, is a tactic
termites use to multiply. I'm using it as an offensive attack. You guys
will hear about it when I use it tomorrow." His devious smile surface while
his blond brows rose.
       He looked really sexy when he did that. When he stared at me a
tendril went up my spine. It was an odd mixture of sexy and deadly, a
mixture of friend and enemy. He was so complicated I didn't know how to
feel. I didn't know which feeling I should to stay with.
       "Ryan is history! I have a ultimate destroyer for him." Jade's eyes
and voice was chimed together.  "My attack is called: 'Blitzkrieg' a long
term for 'blitz'. It was developed by Germans in World War 2. An attack use
to make the enemy confused, panicked, and overwhelmed."
       I never knew Jade paid that close attention in class?
       "When I play my card, Ryan will be ended." Jade smiled triumphantly,
from his bed.  While I was surfing the internet arranging my supplies for
'Code Black'.
       I held my hand out at Korbyn and Jade, "Do either of you have a
credit card?".....
       Thanks everybody for reading. Hopefully everybody hasn't abandoned
my story. I know it has been two years since my pervious update, but that
won't happen again. I want to hear what you guys think of Admire me. So, I
will know if I should upload the next chapter. This story was complete
years ago. I just didn't have a way to get it out to you all.
