Adagio’s magenta eyes rose briefly over the hunched over backs of the other two ex-sirens. Her brows knit together in a suspicious look before Adagio lowered her face into the safe zone she and the other girls had created by resting their arms on each other’s shoulders. She turned towards Aria. “I don’t know, Aria… What do you think?”
Aria shook her head. “Could be a trap.”
Adagio glanced up slightly before returning her head to the huddle. “You think? She… or he in this case is doing a very good job at looking effeminate if that’s true.”
“Not that kind of trap!” Aria exclaimed in irritation. “The regular kind were we’re tricked into something… You know… we walk out that door and suddenly we get hit with skipping detention! And then bam, more punishment!”
Adagio hummed thoughtfully, ignoring the sound as she considered Aria’s words. “Hmmm…” She turned to Sonata. “Sonata, what do you think?”
Aria sighed. “She doesn’t! Not ever! Why do you even ask?!”
“Hey!” Sonata snapped back. “I happen to have a brilliant idea!”
Aria rolled her eyes. “Here we go.”
Sonata continued, “I say we kill her and hide the body!”
Adagio groaned.
“Told you!” Aria said.
Adagio looked up at Sonata with a tired look on her face. “Sonata, for the last time, we can’t just murder Ms. Cheerilee!”
Sonata gave Adagio a disappointed look. “We never do what I want to do!” she bemoaned.
Adagio furrowed her brow. “You want to get some tacos or ice cream when we finally get out of here, fine, we’ll do it! But every time we huddle up, you always want to kill someone! You never just want a double-decker!”
“Girls!” Cheerilee snapped from the front of the empty classroom. “I’m just a few yards away from you! I can hear everything you say!”
Sonata lifted her head up from the huddle. “That’s what we want you to think!”
Adagio groaned again as she lowered her head, giving it a couple slow, sad shakes.
Sonata grinned. “I’ve always wanted to say that!”
Aria cocked an eyebrow. “Do ya’ think you coulda waited until it actually made sense!”
“That’s what I WANTED you to think!”
Aria narrowed her eyes at Sonata. “I spit in your mouth while you sleep.”
Sonata whimpered.
Adagio raised her head. “Kinky!”
“Seriously, girls!” Cheerilee cried. “I’m waiting on you three! Once you’re out, we can all go home!”
Standing admits the empty desks, the girls broke their huddle and gave each other one more look before turning to face Cheerilee.
“We don’t believe you,” Adagio said. “Also, please lift your skirt if you will.”
“What?! No!” Cheerilee cried. “Girls, I can’t lock up until you’re out of the room! You’re free! Go! Just Go!”
“No way!” Aria said as she leveled an accusatory finger at Cheerilee. “You just want to dump more detention on us!”
Cheerilee grit her teeth. “I can’t give you more detention because you three don’t have any!”
“Ha!” Adagio cried. “I find that hard to believe! We’ve had detention pretty much every day since we started going to school.”
“Yeah!” Aria said. “We musta done something!”
Cheerilee frowned heavily. “If you did something wouldn’t you remember it?!”
The three girl’s eyes widened as they turned and looked at each other, exchanging blank expressions and shrugs.
Sonata turned and raised her hand.
“Sonata, we’re not in class,” Cheerilee said.
“She is trying to trick us!” Aria exclaimed as her index finger once again flew out to stab in the direction of Cheerilee. “Now she wants us to believe we’re not in a classroom!”
Cheerilee smacked a hand against her face. “I mean class isn’t in session!” She removed her hand and looked at Sonata. “You don’t have to wait to be called on, you can just talk!”
Sonata lowered her hand. “I never remember what I’m in detention for!”
Aria nodded. “And I figure someone is gonna nark me out for starting a school fight club sooner or later!”
Adagio scrunched her lips up slightly. “I can get pretty noisy in the throes of passion… I mean, the natural science section of the library isn’t exactly private and biting down on a book will only muffle so much.”
Cheerilee grimaced as her left eye twitch and she examined her hands. “I’m just going to pretend I heard none of that.” She lowered her hands and stared at the girls again. “Look! I’m just as surprised as you, but you’ve all somehow avoided doing anything wrong or at least getting caught doing it! Can you please just go! I’m just as tired of spending an extra hour each day at school as I’m sure you three are.” Cheerilee raised her hands again and stared at them. “Plus I really want to wash my hands now.”
Sonata grinned cheerfully. “You also touched your face!”
Cheerilee sighed. “Make that take a really hot shower.”
The girls looked at each other and exchanged another round of head shakes and shrugs.
“Fine, we’ll go,” Adagio said. “But only on one condition!”
Cheerilee’s shoulders slumped. “Adagio, I promise you I’m a woman!”
Adagio narrowed her eyes. “Prove it!”
Funny with a side order of kinky!
*DIES* Oh god
Oh my God these stores are so funny! Can't wait for the next one!
Poor Cheerilee
I love this chapter, I love every bit of this. Especially the ending.
Yes, prove it.
Cue the porn music!
Wow, Adagio really is a freak.
That Sonata, though
Very enjoyable. Well done.
Prove it!
Very nice. The girls haven't lost any of their specialness.

My sides!!!
I can only imagine the Hell she endures every day having to deal with those three....
You can almost feel she's saying that last part in a matter-of-factly manner... Which suits her character so well.
Also, I don't get the title.
5994733
The title is a reference to the movie Fight Club. (The 1st rule of fight club is never talk about fight club, the 2nd rule is never talk about fight club.)
And here I thought Adagio was about to deny what she was just saying, but nope! She might be an evil fetishist, but she's at least honest.
And Sonata, seriously. Like, what
Aria is the only sensible one. And that is scary.
As for poor Ms Cheerilee, well, at least she doesn't have to babysit CMC's anymore... I think.
That is how I look right now.
Adagio... l like her more and more...
Nice chapter, but there's a couple minor things you may want to edit.
That should be "amidst".
And I suggest adding a comma after "something".

It's one of my favorites. Lots of themes dealing with an emergence of an online culture, so still rather relevant today.
These are so much fun. I love the Dazzlings personalities.
*tsk tsk tsk* Dagi, go and lift her skirt right then. Stupid.
5995295
They'll graduate to her level soon enough.
--Spade
...Wow. This is the sort of thing I'd expect from Sonata, but certainly not Adagio
Keep it in your pants Adagio!!
What?
5996495
Then I shall add it to my watch list!
Why is Adagio so concerned about this?
6034693
It's very important to know if someone is a trap or not.
Aria wants Sonata so much. it's like a mix of yandere and tsundere. And I love it~
6049878
Of course. It helps one coordinate clothing and styles, and what kind of clubs you can get into when your boyfriend is your girlfriend! Plus you know they're the most voracious lovers~ That's why Adagio is so intent on finding out.
Hahahahahaha
I get the feeling the Sirens do love each other...in a really warped, f*cked up way.
>.>
I agree with Adagio, CHeerilee should prove it >.>
<.<
For science!
I don't know why but I'm in a FUVKING AMAZING MOOD RIGHT NOW and I'm loving this
BAHAHA!!!!
7 words. WTF DID I JUST READ?!
The Dazzlings have surprisingly great chemistry with Cheerilee.
Not a bad plan depending on the situation.
