STORY IN A WEEK Tales of Utopia

Kayla and Rhyan had thought of an idea. A club; a fun one, but who would run it? "We should both run it since we both thought of it." Rhyan decided. Kayla agreed, but she only agreed for one reason. She had a decieving little plan, she will soon execute. ||

 * **Rough Draft:**

**The Club****By:** **Kayla Slavik**





 Rhyan didn’t know how she thought of the idea. It just sort of popped in her head. As soon as she got the idea, though, she knew she had to tell Kayla. “Kayla, Kayla!” “What?” Kayla was a minute away from being late to class and was not in the mood for small talk. “I’ve got an idea for a club!” Kayla and Rhyan had been discussing the idea of a club ever since Mrs. Howell had mentioned they would start doing clubs at the end of the day. “We should do a club where everyone votes on something they want to do for fun, and then we do it!” “Not too bad. I like it! I got to get to class though; Mr. Agamenoni is going to get mad.” They left it at that. It was a great idea, but little did they know how bad it would spiral out of control. Later that day, Kayla and Rhyan presented their idea to Mrs. Howell. She loved the idea the moment she heard it and even volunteered to be the club advisor, in case they needed help getting something. They thought it was a great idea, and from that day forward, the club would start and be held in Mrs. Howell’s classroom. The club was an instant hit. The first day they had the room packed with kids. It was a Monday, so everyone would vote on something they liked to do, then all week they would pick different things. Rhyan and Kayla would pick which activities to do since they had been deemed the co-leaders after thinking of it. The co-leading is what tore Kayla apart. She thought the ideas she picked were far superior then the ones Rhyan picked, but for whatever reason they always did hers. It wasn’t fair to Kayla, and she didn’t like it one bit.  All of Kayla’s friends came every day, every week. Rhyan’s friends only showed up three times a week instead of five. Like they had better things to do! That was at least Kayla’s opinion. Everything Rhyan did was wrong to her, Rhyan in general was wrong. Kayla’s friendship with her was going downhill quickly just because of a club. Kayla told this to her friends, and they were foolish enough to agree.  “Yeah, she never picks my ideas!” Madison complained  “I know, I thought I had some good ones too!” McKenzie agreed.  “Guys, I know what Rhyan picks, I always pick your ideas, but she always gets her way. I need a plan to get her kicked out of the club so we can do the things you want to do.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “We could blow her up.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “Thank you Elliott for that… idea. How about someone else?” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “Hey, I know! Someone thinks of a really dumb idea, and then Kayla, you talk Rhyan into picking it. Then when she picks it, she’ll get in trouble with Mrs. Howell and get banned from the club!” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “I like it McKenzie. She’ll never see it coming. Who should do the dumb idea; I think Elliott’s the best candidate for that.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “Hey, what about blowing up Diet Coke and Mentos in the middle of the classroom!” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “Wow Logan, you did better than Elliott would have. Okay, put that in the idea bucket and we’ll use that to get rid of her. Great job guys. Oh, and don't forget, Kayla is always right.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"Kayla is always right." Logan repeated. "Kayla is always right..." <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> After school the next day, Kayla and Rhyan gathered around the idea bucket. Rhyan slowly picked up Logan’s idea. “This is it.” Kayla thought quietly in her mind. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “This one’s dumb; it says ‘blow up diet coke and mentos //in the middle of the classroom.// Wouldn’t that be messy?” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"> “Oh, I don’t know Rhyan. It sounds like fun. I would pick it if I were you. At least you didn’t get ‘A contest to see who can spit the farthest.’” It was Elliott’s. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">The next day Rhyan brought 10 Liters of Diet Coke and 20 packages of Mentos candy. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"What's that for?" Mrs. Howell was wondering why anybody would bring so much pop, but she didn't see the Mentos hiding behind the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">Diet Coke, so she assumed it was just a treat for the kids. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">Later that day during club time, the room was full to capacity with kids wanting to see the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment. Mrs. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">Howell had to leave the room for a minute, so Kayla decided to kick things off. Rhyan and her moved a big mat into the middle of the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">room and set all the Liters of Coke in the middle. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"Okay!" Rhyan announced. "Let's get this started, I'll be the one putting the Mentos in, so don't ask. Everybody stand back!" <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">Rhyan let the Mentos drop and soon saw what a big mess Coke and Mentos actually made. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"Hey Kayla, this is kind of messy, did you know it would do this?" <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"No." She was lying through her teeth. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">Right in the middle of the biggest geyser, Mrs. Howell walked in. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"What is going on in here?!" It was an understatement to say she was mad. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"I tried to tell you what was happening, but the room was too crowded and I couldn't get out!" Kayla lied again. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"Who picked this idea?" Rhyan feebly raised her hand. Mrs. Howell promptly led her out into the hallway where they did not return for a <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">long time. When they did return, though, Rhyan's face was a blotchy red, and her eyes were moist with tears. Despite Rhyan's despair, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">Kayla couldn't hold back a grin. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">"Our club," Kayla thought, "is now perfect."

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 18.6667px; text-align: center;">The End ||

The two students had just sat down when a small group of students, which had lost their way, filed into the classroom, whispering feebly and wandering from one side of the classroom to the other side to find some place where they would be more comfortable. McKenzie told them what was going on in the small classroom, and the students quickly agreed to join the club. At the last moment Madison, the foolish, pretty popular student, had come walking daintily in, chewing at a wad of gum.
