A Displaced Story of Ariadne and Theseus

Alison was just a regular girl with regular problems. Drama on her soccer team, issues with grades, and no boys seemed to like her. 

But there was one thing that irked Alison the most: her older brother. Mike was the most obnoxious individual to walk the planet, he demanded everyone's attention, and the worst part was that he always got what he wanted. Everyone seemed to like him, or at least tolerated his jerk side to be in with him. This left Alison as the shadowed sister with few friends. That is, until she decided to bring him down a level. 

You see, Mike got people to like him because he was the school drug dealer. He had all the goods. Alison knew this, but the school authorities didn't. All the teachers, staff, and school officers loved Mike and thought he was the most stellar of guys. So Alison decided to take this power away from him. But she couldn't do it on her own. She got her friend Thomas to help her. Thomas was a cool, standout guy by most standards and Alison had secretly had a crush on him since the 6th grade. 

People had tried to reveal his drug dealing before, but Mike had always found out who the snitch was and exacted some kind of revenge that would get them suspended while all the while maintaining the golds stars he had from all the school officials. The trick would be to destroy his power without getting caught. So Alison and Thomas carefully sketched out their plans and this is how it went down. 

There was a new chemical that smelled exactly like marijuana, but if you were introduced to it in small enough amounts, you quickly could not smell it all. It was fairly easy to synthesize and Thomas could do it with the access he had to the labs at the school. After Thomas made a few batches of it, he gave it to Alison who started slipping bits of it into Mike's room while he slept. After a few nights, the receptors for that chemical were adequately desensitized and the big play was ready to be dealt. Thursday was marijuana dealing day for Mike. So Alison smothered his bag with this chemical to give off the intense stench of Mary Jane. Needless to say, even the school officials had to give Mike's bag a search and the appropriate punishment was dealt.

All of Mike's influence was gone and Thomas even started to seem to like Alison. Things were going great. But it wasn't meant to last. Thomas dumped her to go out with her best friend. So Alison turned to drinking. Alcohol promised to love her and stay with her and satisfy her forever. But it too lied. Alison's life seemingly came to an end on the night she got arrested for a DUI. 

Some kids are just never going to have it go right for them.
