Chapter 4 - The horror of high school.
Sam awoke to the deafening sound of an alarm clock. As always, it took a while for his brain to realise who he was, and who he was pretending to be. He groaned and looked at the clock. It flashed 5:30 in big red letters. Sam narrowed his eyes. What self-respecting teenager would get up at such an ungodly hour?.He moaned and fell out of bed. He walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He sighed, seeing Pietro's face, he was starting to forget what his own face looked like, he hadn't seen it for years. He got washed and dressed in about ten minutes and walked downstairs to get some breakfast. As he entered Kurt was already there, eating to his hearts content. The blue-elf boy gave a look of surprise as he saw Sam enter.
"Are you SURE your not sick Pietro?", he asked.
"I feel fine", said Sam, starting to get a little bit nervous, "why would you say?".
"Vell you usually spend at least an hour in the bathroom. Thats vhy you get up so early", replied Kurt, "unless you don't vant to be 'perfect' today".
Sam groaned inwardly. He was really starting to take a dislike to this Pietro guy.
"Yeah....", said Sam, trying to think fast "i just came down because...i thought...i.heard...something. Yeah, that's it. So i'll just go back upstairs now and make myself....perfect".
With that, Sam marched quickly back upstairs and into the bathroom. He closed the door behind him and leant on it. How the heck could he spend an hour in here?. He looked at the shelves to see rows upon rows of hair and skin products. Very uncommon for a guy's bathroom. He assumed these were Pietro's. He walked over to them, reading the labels and trying to figure out which to use. Then a loud banging could be heard on the other side of the door. Sam walked over to it.
"Yeah?", he shouted.
"Come on Maximoff, stop hogging the bathroom", came the voice of Evan, "there's other people in the house you know!".
Sam sighed, while Ziggy was still trying to figure out why he was here, he might as well work on this broken friendship. He opened the door and stepped outside.
"It's all yours Evan", he said, waving a hand towards the door.
Evan blinked. The guy looked like he had been expecting a fight.
"Really?", said Evan, his face a picture of disbelief, "okay....".
Evan walked into the bathroom. He gave Sam one last confused look before closing the door behind him. Sam smiled, well that must have helped a bit. He walked downstairs to try the breakfast thing again, maybe he'd have more luck this time. As he entered the dining room, he noticed that a majority of the house were up now. Sidney and Kitty seemed to be studying, while the rest of the young mutants were goofing around and eating. In short, being teenagers.
"Hey Speedy", said Lance dully, brooding over his cup of coffee, "you ready for today?".
"Today?", asked Sam, he had a feeling that Al had been keeping something from him.
"Yeah, you've got that physics test today haven't you?".
"Errr....yeah..i guess", said Sam, great, now he had to get the kid through a test, lucky for Sam, physics was his feild of expertise.
"So, did you study yo?", asked Todd.
"Yeah, of course", said Sam, "i'm all set".
"An' a'h just saw a little purple pig with wings go floatin' past the window", said Rogue, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Really?", said Sam, he was starting to get into Pietro's chracter a little better now, "did you get the registration number?".
"Hilarious", muttered Rogue, turning away from him.
Sam really hoped he wasn't here to get Pietro and this girl together, she seemed to hate him with a vengance.
It didn't take much longer for everyone to be ready and start to head for school. Scott, Jean, Tally, Kitty and Rogue climbed into a plush red sports car, while Lance, Fred, Todd and Sidney piled into a rusty old jeep. Kurt had teleoprted away, claiming he was stopping for something called a 'gut bomb' on the way and Evan had hopped onto his skateboard and sped off. Sam was about to climb into the jeep with his 'teammates' when Fred gave him a funny look.
"I thought you were running man", he said.
"Running?", squeaked Sam, the school was a few miles away, he'd never make it in time.
"Yeah", said Todd, "ya always say that it's faster fer ya ta go on foot than with us".
Sam sighed. Of course, he'd forgotten about Pietro's mutant power. He wasn't Pietro though, and he really doubted he could learn how to use a mutant ability on such short notice, if he even COULD use it that is. He need to think of an excuse to get a ride, and fast.
"I need a ride today", he said, his brain working ten to the dozen, "because i need to keep my head clear. You know, for the exam".
The brotherhood members looked at him for a second, then Sidney relucantly budged over. It looked like they'd bought it.
"Okay then Speedy", said Sidney, "climb aboard".
Sam gratefully climbed into the jeep. Lance then turned on the engine and sped towards the school.
Sam entered the hallways of Bayville high as if he were going to his own funeral. As a child, Sam had loved school and had always worked hard, unfortuantely that had made him a prime target for bullies. He just hoped that Pietro had less trouble. No such luck.
"Oh Peeeeeeeeeeety".
Sam turned his head to the high-pitched, squeaky voice. Running towards him was a blonde haired girl, she looked very much like she was a cheerleader. She grinned and flung her arms around him the second she got to him. Sam hugged her back, he had no idea who she was.
"Hi there", he said with a chuckle.
"We ARE still going to The Shack tonight right?", she asked, batting her eyelashes.
Sam sighed, he didn't know how he was going to get out of this one. Lucky someone was looking out for him.
"No WAY Katy he's mine tonight", said another girl, this time a red-head.
She charged towards 'Katy' and pulled her off Sam. She then smiled at him.
"Pietro promised he'd take me to the lake tonight. Didn't you Snuglebunny?".
"I......", Sam started, only to be cut off by Katy.
"Back off Britnay", she said, "me and Peety have had this date planned for weeks!".
"No way", said Britany, "he's mine!".
"Mine"
"Mine"
"Your both wrong, he's mine!".
Sam gave a groan and turned to see a girl with short black hair, she frowned at Britnay and Katy.
"Get lost Mel", retorted Britnay, "as if my Sungglebunny would want to go out with trailer park trash like you".
"Rather trailer park trash than a ferret on heat!", snapped back Mel.
"Hey don't call her that!", put in Katy.
"Mind your beeswax cheerleader", snapped Britnay.
"Drop dead, i was only trying to help", said Katy.
"You just want to steal Snugglebunny"said Britnay, giving Katy a shove.
"That is such a totally stupid name", said Katy.
She shoved Britnay back, only Britnay fell into Mel. Mel gave a shout and grabbed a chuck of Britnay's hair. Britnay gave a squeal of pain and stomped on Mel's shoe. Katy fung herself at both girls and in seconds the hallway was filled with the screams and shouts of the fighting girls. Sam backed slowly away only to feel someone grab his shoulder and yank him into a classroom. He turned and to his relief saw Rogue. She looked out into the corrior and shook her head.
"Ya know, ya'll gotta get yerself a diary Speedy", she said, "then ya'll won't get your apointments mixed up with your girlfreinds".
"All of those are my girlfriends?", said Sam in amazment.
"Nah", said Rogue, "ya'll got at least five more at the moment".
"Oh boy", said Sam, he didn't really want to face THAT all day, he turned to Rogue and smiled, "thanks for getting me out of that".
"Don't mention it", said Rouge, "really, i mean it, don't say anything about it. People will ah've gone soft. Besides ya'll were going in the wrong direction for our history class".
"Oh", said Sam, "right, our history class. The one we take....together".
"Wow, ya'll learnin' real quick today", said Rogue with a chuckle, "come on Speedy, before we get in trouble for being late".
Sam had goot through most of his day without a hitch. He'd got lost a few times, but luckily for him, Pietro was a popular guy and had at least one friend in each of his classes. He'd got through the physics exam easily and was quite proud of himself. At least he got a chance to up the guy's grades a bit. By the time lunch came around, Sam was feeling ready to tackle anything...Except for the schools meals. He gently prodded the thing in front of him. He wasn't exactly sure if it was some kind of meat, or something else. He sighed and pushed it away from him, there was no way he could bring himself to eat it. Sidney and Kitty, who were sitting at the table, looked at him and chuckled.
"You, like, never learn do you Pietro?", said Kitty, taking a bite out of her home-made sandwitch.
"Yeah", added Sidney, who was eating a burger, where she got it from, Sam didn't know, he didn't really WANT to know, "every time you say you'll take your own lunch in and every time you forget".
Sam sighed and nodded his head solomely, he was hungry. Sidney rolled her eyes and gave him her burger.
"Here, eat this", she said with a sigh, "i can catch my own".
"Catch?", said Sam, looking at the burger, then at Sidney.
"Yeah you know", said Sidney, then dropped her voice down to a whisper, "play a little game of cat and mouse".
With that she started to stand up, only to give a squeak and sit back down very quickly again. Sam looked confused, as did Kitty.
"Like, what's wrong Sid?", she asked.
"Don't look now Kitty", said Sidney, pointing towards the crowd, "but we're about to get a visit from Mr Drama himself".
Sam looked in the direction that Sidney was pointing to see a guy with short blue-black hair come walking over to the table. He almost rivaled Pietro in the looks department. Almost. He smiled at Kitty and Sidney.
"Hi girls", he said.
"Hi Jason", said Kitty, blushing, "how are you, like, doing?".
"Okay", said Jason, "but we have a problem over at the drama and arts centre. Linda, our lead singer got tonsillitis, so she can't sing anymore, not for a long time anyway".
"Bummer", said Sidney, "hey isn't the school's singing team supposed to be entering in the championships next week?".
"Yeah", said Jason with a sigh, "but we can't enter without a female lead singer. And...well...i know that you two can sing pretty well, so i was wondering if you'd like to try out. We could really use the help".
"Well, i don't know....", Sidney started, only to have Kitty put her hand over her mouth.
"Sure we'd, like, love to", said Kitty.
"Great", said Jason, "the try outs are on thursday, good luck".
With that he strolled off.
"Are you crazy?", said Sidney to Kitty as soon as he had left.
"Oh come one Sid", said Kitty, "your, like, a shoe-in for the win. You already have an act at The Shack".
"Yeah, i know", said Sidney, "but to go there representing for our school. I mean, its a big step from just doing a little act three times a week at a local club".
"But think of the opportunity!", said Kitty, "there could be tallent scouts".
"She's right, there is a tallent scout", sais Al, appearing in the middle of the table.
"Errr....excuse me for just a sec", said Sam, getting up and walking out of the canteen.
There was a buzzing sound and then Al appeared next to him. Sam turned to his friend.
"What do you mean, there will be a tallent scout there?", he asked.
"Well", said Al, "Ziggy says that theres a seventy five percent chance that your here to get Sidney through the try outs and into the competition".
Okay thats it for now. Remember to review. Until next time.....
