Chapter Text
"AAAAAAA!" They yelled in unison as they faced the dark, ghostly creature slowly making its way over to them. "Chillax guys, it's just me!" It revealed itself as a black haired nerd with a wide grin displayed on his face. " Jordan, you scared the living daylights out of us!. . . or atleast what's left of it
. "Glad you finally admitted it." He mumbled under his breath. "Did you say something? What was that?" Cassie questioned obliviously. "Pretty good costume eh?" Elise, second of the latter asked in attempt to make peace in her friend circle. "Good enough to scare 'Nighthawk'" He teased." Ugh, stop bringing that up, its stupid! I was only eight when I invented that! She defended.
*6 long minutes of arguing*
"Did!" "Did'nt!" "Did!" "Did'nt" "Di-- " Guys, do you feel like we're being watched or am I just being paranoid. . . . . .cause that van over there seems to have followed us everyday. . .for a week" she said while pointing to a white van with graffiti drawings and an ice cream commercial on it under a lamp post The two just stared at her confused until Jordan came to a realization. "She's right, that van does look familiar! I see it on our way to school, at the lake, in the parking lot, pretty much everywhere we go!" Cassie raised a brow. "And it did'nt occur to you to tell us till now?" She said, strumming her fingers on her arm. "I thought it was just a coincidence." He shrugged.
"A sketchy van has been following us for the past week everyday, must be a coincedence!" She said sarcastically. Elise rolled her eyes. "Ughhhh, now that the dreadful banter is over, what do we do now, We're literally being stalked by a creepy van!"
They thought in silence. "It's pretty weird, let's keep an eye on them to see if they try anything funny." Cassie suggested. "Any plan B?" Jordan asked casually.
"Huh?" "What do you mean?" They asked simultaneously." Uhhhh well, if you are right that they're up to something which they most likely are, this is odd behaviour. And they DO try something, don't you think we should be prepared?" Jordan explained. "Dude, you're right!...but we don't have any plans."
"For now...." was all he could say. "Meeting, tommorow, backyard, my house, 3 pm should do well." He added walking away. Cassie asked "Think he over reacted?" "Tell me about it." Elise replied.

"Whoa...."Elise started."I knew you were a nerd, but I was'nt expecting this." "Yeah, it was'nt neccessary to make a whole chart." Cassie stated. "Agreed. Besides it will probably waste quite a lot of time and we probably won't understand anything." Elise supported. "Fine, I'll just TELL you the plan instead. He pulls out a thick, green book labelled 'Stalking Solving 101' to which he got baffled and confused looks from both his friends. He opens it. "I wrote this myself!"
1."We can ask them what they're up to nicely!" He said, a little too entusiastically. "No way in heavens is that gonna work. They've been following us for a whole week now and I don't think they'll spill the beans that easily" Elise complained.
2. We could all learn karate so when they attack, we fight and save the day!
"So that's what the quiet kid in class thinks!" Elise said. "Shut up!" Whined Jordan. "Nope, not gonna work we're like 14 year old amigos vs some sketchy gang of dudes- and it'll be too violent." Cassie pointed out. "Well done Cassie! Smartest thing you've said all day!" Elise congratulated/teased her while patting her back. "Uhhhh.... thanks"
3. We go and check out who they are and how they look lke and their plate number & do some research on them.
"Even though this seems like the most sane among the rest its way too complicated, research is not my type and we'll never be able to find out that much. Besides going too close to the van is risky!" said Cassie sounding like a baby. Jordan looked annoyed and shrugged. "Tough crowd! Well choose one of them cause i'm out of ideas."
"Seriously, we thought you were inventing some 'master plan' with that confidence!" Sighed Elise. "What do we do now?" pouted Jordan deppressingly trying to imitate her.
"We could try playing their own game and spy on them! That way we could combine all the Plans together!" Exclaimed Cassie.". . . you lost me." Said Jordan. Cassie huffed. "Well, if we follow them, we could find out what they're up to, who the heck they are AND do research on them, which would lead us to solving the mystery!" She explained proudly.
"What if we get caught?" Elise said."Easy, we go to the nearest blueberry bush & pretend we're picking blueberries!" "IIIII....."-Jordan trailed on. "Don't think that's gonna do." Elise finished the sentence for him.
"I think we'll have our best chance with this one though. All we gotta do is find out what we'll do when we get caught and we're good to go!" "How do you know we'll get caught?" Trust me, I have a feeling". She said sarcastically.
