Dylan's POV
Oh man! I thought, giggling like a little girl. Jai and I had prepared our latest prank to scare our biggest fan *cough* not *cough* Sophie McLoafy. (Better known as the Sophie Grace.). You know her right? Who am I kidding, of course you know her! She's only the daughter of beauty tutorial vlogger Piper McLean and businessman and ex-army cadette Jason Grace. They're practically famous in New York. She's very popular and she hates us. Which suits us just fine. If she liked us it we wouldn't be able to pull pranks on her.
Jai blinks at me from across the hall, one blue eye and one green eye blinking in sync. Morse Code. (And just to let you know, yes, we have one green eye and one blue each). The message was clear, because our dad Leo taught us Morse Code to communicate without speaking. (I think he knows about our pranks). 'Is everything ready? She'll come soon!' I quickly blinked back a reply. 'Yes, is she coming our way?' He blinked back frantically. 'She's coming! Hide!' I quickly retreated behind the cabinet and pressed play on our recording camera. She walked down the corridor, surrounded by her adoring fans. Jai sent me a thumbs up. She was heading for her locker. Any minute now. I can see- actually, I can't see- Jai's fingers moving over the controls, a blur.
Suddenly, it happens. It's so quick. A squeal, a scream, then absolute chaos. I gleefully observe a swarm of robot scorpions inch towards Sophie. She screams, then stops for a minute and inspects it closely. I internally groan. Pretty girl is smarter than she looks. She smirks, recomposes herself and glances around quickly, grinning slyly. It's almost as though she doesn't want us to get into trouble. She... wait what? She's turning around, screaming at the others to run because the scorpions are real. I realise my mouth is hanging open in shock and I close it in time to notice her smile knowingly at the cabinet I'm hiding behind, as if she's trying to hold in a laugh. Bewildered, I turn the camera off and sit down to think a while.
Later...
A bit later I'm fooling around at my locker, trying to get out of Latin when a crushed and twitching metal scorpion falls at my feet, along with a note. 'This isn't over. -S' I laugh and ignore it, which turns out to be a pretty big mistake. After school as I'm walking home with Jai I tell him all about the note, laughing hysterically. But he seemed quite serious when I told him what it said.
"I don't think we should underestimate her quite yet," he says in a low voice, looking around. I nod, thinking it over. But it's too late. When I get home, the first thing I notice is that all of my prank supplies are gone. I dash into the kitchen frantically, when I notice an open window and I moan. I scramble up to the window to try to salvage anything and notice another note, with the same sparkly pen as the one that fell out of my locker. Sophie.
"C'mon!" I call my brother. "I have a little trip to make..."
At Sophie's house.
"Okay," I whispered into my assigned walkie talkie. "All systems are ago." I can almost hear my twin's nod of approval. I quickly look around then sneak into her room on my tippy toes. I check under her bed, inside her bedside cabinet then spot the wardrobe. I open it and sure enough, my prank supplies are there. I pick them up triumphantly when suddenly a bag of flour drops onto my head.
I check the supplies, coughing and wheezing through the flour. I notice a pulley system that should have taken ages to make attached to one of the whoopee cushions at the back. I test it, to make sure it works and am rewarded with another dollop of flour on the head. Lovely.
