《Buried with Secrets》Chapter Two: Troublemakers
Advertisement
It is a quiet night in the Bailey Household. With nobody at home Lindsey is doing her own thing, having her music on at like 100 and scrolling through her social media.
'Oh hell to the no.' she thinks when she sees Rylan is having a small 'gathering', 'more like a party you mean?' she thinks. Lindsey being Lindsey she wants to start some trouble, trouble that could possibly lead to the end of Rylan's campaign and possibly her reputation.
She calls her friends hoping that they want to help her.
''What's going on?'' Alana says once she picks up.
"Call everyone you know, preferably any troublemakers. And get your asses over to Rylan's house. Let's end this bitch once and for all.''
Back at the Anderson Household there is a small party with alcohol, Rylan's parents shouldn't be home until at least 3 AM, so she thought 'why the hell not?'
Then a loud knock is heard on the door, followed by the doorbell, followed by even more knocks.
"Oh my god, I'm coming geez.'' She opens the door and is shocked when she sees Lindsey, her friends and a ton of people she doesn't even know.
''Did you really think you could have a party without inviting moi?'' Lindsey says. All of the people let themselves in, and the party starts.
Within the hour the mansion is completely trashed, there are drunk teenagers walking around everywhere and of course a very angry Rylan who is trying to clean up the house.
After searching for Lindsey she finally sees her in the kitchen.
''Are you serious right now Bailey?''
''I have a first name you know? It's Lindsey, not that hard. Try to use it.''
That comment angers Rylan even more. ''I was just having a small gathering, and now because you're a stalker, my house is being trashed and overrun by these lowlife cockroaches.''

Lindsey pretends to be shocked by Rylan's choice of words.
"A small gathering? Really? As far as I can see, you're having a party with lots and lots of alcohol. Which is illegal, because everyone here is a minor. This could really hurt your campaign girl.''
Rylan is quick to grab Lindsey's arm before she could walk away.
''Let. Me. Go.'' She says in a threatening tone.
"You're gonna pay for this.'' Rylan says before hitting Lindsey in the face.
Lindsey is shocked by Rylan's actions, but quickly does the same to her.
Soon the two girls are fighting, hitting each other, pulling their hair etcetera.
Everyone runs to the kitchen, phones out hoping they can get anything on video to post online.
''What is going on here?'' everyone stops in their tracks, Rylan even looks scared some would say, with all the drama going on nobody heard Rylan's parents enter the home. Apparently they had been called by worried neighbours.
''Everyone. Get. Out. Now!''
The three friends try to walk out, hiding behind every person they can find. Mr. Anderson however has already seen them and stopped them from leaving the house, knowing they probably had something to do with this. The police and parents are called.
When the police arrive they first arrest drunk teenagers, getting them off of the Streets so nobody gets hurt, they call the parents of all the teenagers before turning their attention to the girls in the house.
''Your parents are on their way. But before you can go we have some questions.'' A cop says. ''First of all, who was throwing this party? And who brought the alcohol?''
''Uh, obviously Rylan. This is her house after all.'' Alana says, hoping the cop would fall for it.

''Excuse me? I was having a small gathering, which I have already told you by the way, when these three show up with tons of people I don't even know!''
''Ahem, a small gathering with a bunch of alcohol, don't pin this on us.'' Mila says. Soon all the girls start arguing.
Mila's father storms in the house, he looks very upset with his daughter.
''Mila Azarov! Are you crazy!? A party with alcohol? You know what happens when drunk people get on the road, and now I find you here? Let's go. Now. We have a lot to discuss.''
Mila looks down at her shoes, afraid to look up to her father, so she just nods and follows him out of the house. Not ready to face the consequences of her actions.
''He's gonna ground her for life.'' Alana whispers in Lindsey's ear.
Lindsey can't help but feel guilty, this was her idea after all. She had to idea it would get out of hand and her friends could get into trouble.
''You. Bailey girl. If it weren't for you my rep-'' he starts, at this moment Jenette Gabriels walks in, a dissapointed look on her face.
''my daughters reputation wouldn't be on the line. She was trying to do a good thing for your dead friend. And this is how you repay her? I will make you pay for this.'' He continues.
Alana tries to jump in to help her friend, but her mother stops her pointing at the man standing in the hallway, rage seen on his face. Alana listens to her mother and walks out of the house.
Trey Bailey walks further into the house, coughing loudly to make his presence known.
Rylan, who is terrified of this man, runs to her room. Not wanting to hear a threat from Trey.
Mr. Anderson turns around, fear washes over his face. He tries to step back but hits a wall, while Trey keeps walking closer to the man, he remains calm, but everyone knows no one talks badly about or to his daughter. No one.
''If you talk to my daughter like that ever again, I will kill you myself. Do you understand?'' Trey says, still remaining calm, while mr. Anderson nods his head, indicating that he understands the threat.
"Good. Now let's go Lindsey.''
'Daytuso! You will not get away with this.'' Rylan yells through the hallways of the school.
Right now she doesn't care that everyone is looking at her, she finds Daytuso at her locker. She grabs her arm and pulls her into a classroom.
''What is your bagage Rylan?'' Daytuso says, pretending that she doesn't know what the hell is going on.
''This is low. Even for you.''
Daytuso just laughs ''Now you finally have all the attention you need.''
Rylan slowly walks up to Daytuso, wanting to hit the girl.
''What? You're gonna hit me? Try, see what else I'm capable of doing.''
Hearing her threat Rylan backs off, unsure of what she should say or do.
''You have to realize, you are the mean girl. Nobody likes you. Me on the other hand? People like me. Which is why nobody is ever going to believe you.'' Daytuso says before walking out of the classroom, looking for her friend.
''Oh we will see about that Ramirez.''

8 197Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.
