A/N: FanFiction.Net apparently doesn't allow the HTML code symbol things, so I used the () instead.

Awesome meeting Kurt! Can't wait until next week. :) Meet me in the cafeteria after school tomorrow and we'll see if anyone's dropped any names in the box. See ya!
-Amy
Kurt pushed back his chair. If it wasn't spam, it was annoying classmates. He hoped he wouldn't see any of his friends' names in the box.
**********
Amy put the tiny key in the lock and turned it. To her delight, she found many folded scraps of paper when she opened the lid. She and Kurt spent the next several minutes reading them. More than a few anonymous tipsters pointed to Scott. Maybe his "eye condition" story wasn't as convincing as he thought.
"'Kurt,'" Amy read. "'He sounds really weird.'"
"That doesn't make me a mutant," Kurt rolled his eyes. "That makes me German."
Amy sighed. "Okay," she conceded. "So maybe our classmates aren't as observant as I'd hoped."
'Or maybe they're just really prejudiced,' Kurt thought as he read the name of another underappreciated outcast.
**********
"We have to do something about this club," Kurt said when he got home. "Some of us were in that box."
"Like, you're the Vice President. Do something," Kitty suggested.
Evan sat up on the couch, with a gleam in his eye. "Sabotage from the inside!" he reeled off. "Mystery! Intrigue! Danger!"
"Aren't you a little old to be playing Super Spy?" Rogue sighed.
Evan ignored her. "Come on, K-man," he said. "I've got an idea!"
**********
Kurt lay on his bed while Evan scribbled diagrams at the desk, laughing maniacally every once in a while.
"Okay, I got it," he finally announced. "You gotta run this thing, Kurt. Figure 1, we need Amy out of the picture." He showed his friend a sketch of a female stick figure with a big X over her.
"So we're going to frame her messing up the principal's car," Evan continued, holding up a picture of what might have been a car, with an irate Kelly standing next to it.
"Then she gets suspended," he flipped the page to display a drawing of the stick figure behind bars, "and that leaves you in charge."
"Then what?"
Evan sighed. "Do I have to explain everything? Then you start pointing fingers, pick out a few people no one will believe are mutants, everybody thinks the club is corrupt and they shut it down."
"Ah."
