Chapter 26
    The club of doom and popularity
    “Glad you guys could all make it,” Meredith said, grinning like a Cheshire cat. “As you know I’ve called you all girl’s because the day has finally arrived!”
    All the girl’s around us squeal, I try to contain my excitement but my bright grinning face is a dead give away.
    We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time, ever since we’ve sat at that ‘cool table’ or as Destiny calls it the doom table, in high school, we were notified of the awesome pranks we’d get to do. It was…a club so to say, only the ‘populars’ could be in it, so you had to be known, sitting at that certain table, liked and have your name said in almost one conversation every day. It was stupid really, but the chance to be in that awesome club, wasn’t.
    It was created at a girl’s sleepover, with boys who snuck in, by the legendary Inviena Dorce. It was quite a few years back, in the 1960’s I think. Where it was technically a game, and to be a member you had to be popular and have them bracelet. Everyone in the school knows about it, but I’m not telling Destiny about it, I don’t want her to know.
    Today was the day we learned the official rules of the game, and pledged are membership, an honor like this meant a lot to me. Because only a few people know the real rules of the game, our…people, so to say, do a very good job of keeping it mysterious and secretive, which makes everyone want to be a part of it.
    Meredith was standing now, being the leader of us all, she was given rules and bracelet prior to us, and was going to explain it to us on this glorious day.
    “All right girl’s, you ready?”
    “YES!”
    Meredith laughed. “Now, we know only a few things about this club, but today you all are given free information, about everything. And right now you have to swear that you won’t tell anyone about our secrets and our doings.”
    “Why?” Serache, Meredith’s cousin asked, looking scared.
    “It’s the rules of the game.” Meredith snapped, before turning her attention back to us. “Swear?”
    We all held our hands up high, as if we were raising them in a class to answer a question, and we all reached for Meredith’s hand. “Swear.”
    “Good, now this club, is so to speak…a game. You’ve sworn to keep this a secret, but not your membership, yet. Now onto simpler things, the club’s name. We wanted it to be simple and have meaning, our founder named the club.”
    “And the name is?” Serahce asked.
    I shushed her.
    “The drowning man.”
    Silence as everyone in the room gulped.
    “This club is basically a series of pranks for the lower food chain, ones who deserve it, ones who need to learn. Also, it tells us where you stand, which is us of course. We always come first. Even before family.”
    That time Meredith looked at me, and I looked quickly away, she knew how important my family was, even though my parents were horrible, family comes first.
    “Once you become a member, your in, and…it’s not so easy to get out, you have to do some pretty sticky stuff. Anyway, let’s get started with memberships. Bracelets?”
    A girl appeared in the room, she held this box which the bracelets were in, she gave them to Meredith and quickly scurried out of the room, how I wished to be her right then.
    “First, before we get into detail, you have to become a member. To become a member, which there’s no turning back now, you have to give us a prized jewelry you love to wear, and trade it for the bracelet.”
    I instinctively grabbed my amulet on my neck, my grandma, such a sweet thing, gave it to me before she died. I remember clearly, she was in the hospital, her health was acting up, she must’ve known because she handed it to me.
    “Please no, Grandma, it’s yours.” I had said.
    But grandma didn’t listen. “Please child, it’s such a silly little old thing, no importance except for the fact that a young poor girl found it in her time of poverty, take it, sweetie, let it live on. And one day, give it to someone you truly care about, someone you know you’ll love forever, as they loved you.”
    I blink tears away as I see that the other girl’s are taking off necklaces, ankle bracelets, bracelets, watches, etc.
    “Dorothy, what are you giving?” Meredith asked me sharply narrowing her eyes.
    “Oh! I’m giving you guys-”
    “Because that amulet is looking pretty precious.”
    “Oh, this, it’s just a silly little old thing. Not prized at all.” I hide my smile as I said grandma’s words.
    “How about the BFF necklace then.”
    I try my best to not look like I’m glaring at her, she knows that this necklace means a lot to me, to Destiny. She also knows how much it’ll crush her if she doesn’t see me wearing it anymore.
    She always wanted to be my favorite.
    Ever since we befriended each other, she’d always tried to make me hate Destiny, or make me like her better than Destiny. She’d always insult her when I wasn’t around, and she always jumped at the chance to become my #1. Sadly for her that will never happen.
    I take off my necklace, and set it in the pile of the other jewelry, Meredith smiling smugly, puts on the bracelet for me as and refuses to help anyone else. As if that should make me feel flattered, but it didn’t.
    “All right girl’s!” Meredith yells much more brightly. “Welcome to the group.”
    I finger the bracelet, and I’m immediately angry, depressed, and drained. I didn’t want to be a member of the drowning man.
    Literally.

    I gasp as I resurface back into my own body, my own thoughts. Jessica and Cadence rush to me quickly.
    “Desy! Are you okay?!” Jess looks worried and so does Cadence.
    “Yes,” I say weakly, “and I’ve learned a few new things that juts might come in handy.”
