3. Friends and Pranks
John had moved into the Mansion less than two week ago and well, he too got enrolled into Bayville High and despite the firebug's madcap attics, he was pretty smart and was very well received by his new schoolmates and most of the mutants in the Mansion.
Floppy fringe and ice blue eyes that just seemed so pure and untainted, he soon won over numerous female fans at school. Holding several books with his right hand, he casually flashed the girls a wide toothed grin as he made his way down to his next class, leaving the girls swooning as he walked off.
"John!" a voice behind him called out.
"Oh. Hey Pietro," he glanced over his shoulder and waved at his dorm mate. Despite knowing him for less than a week, the two were soon great pals due to their common interests. Namely girls, eating sugar high food and playing pranks. Kurt welcomed the two newcomers with great enthusiasm; together they planned numerous pranks on the mutants in the Mansion.
"So you bought the dye yet?" Pietro walked beside his friend, enquiring.
"Yeah, I passed it to Kurt just now, during Math. I can't wait for tonight!" John said with a grin.
"Cool. Anyway, so who're you bringing to the dance this Friday?" Pietro flashed the girls staring at them a grin. It was hard being the two most popular ones in school.
The dance was a monthly event at Bayville High. John, despite being a new student was had already gotten several requests the past few days.
"Don't feel like it. Friday's a private night." John narrowed his eyes, and frowned. His free hand went into the pocket of his jeans, fingers running across the outline of his lighter.
"Oh. Okay." Pietro replied. Despite the new closeness the two shared, Pyro was still an enigmatic character.
"Hey, so we'll do it after dinner? You made sure Jean will be away yet, Silver?"
"Yea, settled that this morning, I roped in Tabs to help us" Pietro replied. Kurt and John had taken a liking to calling him Silver. Not just due to his codename but also due to his platinum locks. Pietro didn't really mind the name; after all, he felt that it was better than Tabitha's 'Quickie'.
"How're you planning to do it anyway?" John asked, running a hand through his hair.
"We're planning to ask our ace student to tutor us" Quicksilver answered with a wry look.
Pyro laughed at hearing his friend's plan. "Big sacrifice on your parts. I can't imagine facing her for even 5 minutes, nonetheless getting tutored!"
After dinner, the three pranksters did as planned with Tabitha and Pietro bringing some random schoolwork to Jean for help. While the other two gathered in Kurt's room with the hair dye John had bought earlier that day.
"You know, I never realized how blue you were, Kurt" John said suddenly.
"You don't like the fuzzy elf dude's fur?" Kurt looked at his friend with a pout and big watery eyes.
"I sure do love it. Let's just hope she does too." Pyro said with a smirk.
Kurt grinned and grabbed his partner in crime, "Enough chit chat, it's time we shocked the Mansion!" and with his signature 'bamf', they were in the Jean's room.
In there, they scrambled to the bathroom and quickly emptied the shampoo of the said female and replaced it with the dye bought. Snickering, the boys left as soon as they had arrived.
