So Much for Friends!

“OMG, like totes! Yeah like I was at this party and like all these low lives had empty pockets and I’m like so rich so yeah!” The four rich rock stars were bragging about their so called amazing lives and the leader of the band, Lex, the annoying one, went on about how they were going to take down Gina Rinehart and become the richest people in Australia and then the world. Life was superb for them, partying all night and waking up even richer; things couldn’t get better for them, or so they thought!

The next morning Lex woke up but she was so weary. She swayed along, plodding to the couch to turn the telly on. “Good morning Australia, we have the lotto ticket numbers. They are... 21, 33, 16 and your supplementary numbers are... 44 and 73. Thank you for your time and stay tuned for Sunrise.” Lex jumped in the air and screamed in her high pitched, irritating voice. “I’ve won the lottery!” Thinking this was just a joke the other band members woke up but as soon as they saw the ticket they went green with envy. Pretending to be excited the other members jumped with her too but they knew they couldn’t let Lex claim all the money otherwise they’d be considered as the poorer ones

"Ok guys so after the performance you go to section A and we will go to section B and when we give you the signal bring the car to us and we will toss her off the bridge ok.” The jealous members whispered to each other coming up with a plan to threaten her! That night after the crowd died out from the concert the three members snuck out saying they were going to the bathroom. As they got into position they crept up to Lex and pounced on to her taping her mouth and putting her into a bag. It was pitch black and Lex was terrified, she tried to cry out with all her might but it wasn’t possible and she knew this was the end. Thoughts rushed into her head and trying to escape she wondered who would do such a thing! (A weird sound) Lex heard a sound it was like a signal, then she realised there was only one person she knew who could make that sound. No, she thought, it couldn’t possibly be; she knew it was her fellow rock stars and she was so devastated. But why, she thought; but before she could answer that she heard a cackle as the bag was torn from her and she was standing on the end of a cliff. She turned around only to see three ferocious faces staring back at her. “Hand over the ticket” One member said, breaking the silence. Trying to reason with them, Lex gave up the winning ticket with a sobbing face.
