Dana

“Yeah? Who is this? What do you want?!”

You go wide eyed as you recognize the voice of Dana over the phone. Of all the people to call, why had Lex decided to call the one person who could potentially make this situation worse?!

Almost as if to answer your unasked question, Lex cleared her throat before putting a hand over her smiling mouth. “So, Madison,” she said in a voice that almost sounded frighteningly like Karishma's, “I heard that you were opening try outs again?”

You raised an eyebrow quizzically as Lex began again in a eerily similar voice to Madison, saying, “Yeah. I figured we may need new meat on the team, you know?”

“Look, you prissy pain!” Dana groaned in annoyance, not realizing that she wasn’t talking to the real Karishma. “I don’t know, nor do I care, how you got my number, but I think you may have butt dialed me my mistake. So I’m just gonna hang – “

“Actually,” Lex said in her Madison impression as she cut off the buxom bully, “I had a few candidates lined up that I’d think would be great cheerleaders.” She then donned her Karishma voice as she asked, “Oh? And where did you put that fatso, Dana?”

“What. Did. You. Just. Call. Me?!” Dana snarled over the phone.

Your eyes widened as you finally figured out what was going on. During the last school talent show, Lex had set up a ventriloquist act with a series of puppets that she gave various parodies of celebrity voices. You remembered being her practice audience as she even used some surprisingly accurate impressions of your classmates; including Madison and Karishma. Lex was using these voices to make Dana think she was being insulted by the cheerleaders, hopefully leading to a distraction that would allow the two of you to hopefully leave without being seen.

“At the very bottom!” Lex continued in her Madison voice, “That clumsy Neanderthal wouldn’t even make it on the girl’s football team, let alone the cheer squad.”

“Neanderthal?!” Dana growled, the venom in her voice oozing through the phone. You could almost imagine the steam coming out of her ears. “Do you idiots know that I’m hearing literally all of this?!”

“Hey now! Don’t go insulting Neanderthals.” Lex said with a chuckle as she imitated Karishma’s voice again. “A Neanderthal would probably be smart enough to know that the five of us are hanging outside that groundskeeper shed.”

“Well now I do, pal!” Dana replied, “I’m on my, and when I get there, I’ll – “

With that, Lex pressed a button on the phone, hanging it up before walking over to the door and peeking out it. She then sat the phone back on the grass, before slipping back into the shed.

And not a moment too soon as you saw that Madison had finished up her tirade, throwing the case of cigarettes on the ground as Karishma rolled her eyes. Karishma then reached into her pocket, realizing that it wasn’t there with a wide eyed expression. She then turned to the shed and marched towards the phone on the ground, completely missing the two pairs of eyes watching her as she picked it up and placed it back into her pocket.

It was at this point that you and Lex saw the buxom, blonde, bully marching angrily towards the cheerleaders, the two of you deciding to watch the chaos unfold before making a run for it.
