A/N: Hey! Hmm...ok I hope those last two chappies didn't cause too much confusion... Well, I'm so happy to see I got more reviews.
Ok this chapter is kinda lame so bear with me, people. I hope it's funny though...well read this and if I get enough reviews, I'll update the next chapter right away! Trust me. Chapter 5 will be a lot better than this one...ok so here goes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Although, that pink tutu isn't mine either—it's Maria's. Oh well, mine now! (Mwahaha!) Ok, I'll shut up now...

Chapter 4- Changes in Behavior
.
Sara woke up the next morning, much like the previous morning. But things were different once she arrived at school. Sara met her friends at the usual meeting spot, but they seemed more cautious...except Maria.
"Okay, I've got a plan," Maria said to Sara. "We can blackmail Voldemort into doing stuff for us, and we'll tell him if he doesn't do what we say, we'll tell everyone what really happened yesterday! Oh, and we can play pranks on him and stuff. And all we have to do if he tries to tell on us is blackmail! Oooh, this is gonna be fun!"
"Um...Maria? Are you okay?" Sara asked.
"Me? I'm fine! As a matter of fact, I couldn't be happier!" was the only reply.
Maria continued to mutter plans to herself as they went inside the school building.
"It happened again. The dream," Sara said.
"Not again?!" Eve said.
"Yep."
They were all silent for a while, besides Maria's muttering. Sara was starting to wonder if she needed medical help when she stared at her friend with raised eyebrows. Maria didn't notice.
The day went by like any other day (A/N: I'm being sarcastic.). Except that Voldemort and his Death Eaters acted strangely around them, the teachers kept asking if Sara was alright, and students whispered rumors back and forth. At recess, Sara finally asked her friends one thing that was bugging her.
"What happened after I fainted yesterday?"
"Well, it's an interesting story, really," Crys said.
"Yeah, after you passed out, we made a deal with Tom's friends," Phoebe continued.
"We told them not to tell the teachers what really happened or else everyone's gonna know that their leader got beat up by a girl," Eve told Sara.
"So what did you guys tell the teachers?" Sara inquired curiously.
"Oh, we told them that Voldie tripped, and you passed out from laughing so hard," Maria said as if this was perfectly sane.
They stared blankly, and Crys snorted a small snicker.
"No, that wasn't it," Phoebe said still staring at Maria, obviously thinking of her as extremely scary. "We did say he tripped, but we told them you passed out from the shock of it."
Sara blinked.
"Phoebe's telling the truth," Eve assured.
"Oh."
There was a long silence. It was broken when Tom came by, walking slowly.
"Can we help you?" Sara said sweetly with a fake smile.
Tom blushed ignoring Sara's question.
"Um...hi, Maria," he said.
Maria glared. "Go away before I punch you this time!"
"Okay," he said walking away, still staring at her in...and you won't believe this but...in awe. He looked adoringly at her. As weird as it may sound, it was quite obvious he like her. Maria however, hates and despises him. But who could blame her? Everybody hated him. Tom was lucky if his own parents actually cared for him.
The day continued. Science class was a "little" interesting. Maria decided this the best time to mess with Tom, and Sara joined in (she couldn't resist). Lucky for them, they happened to be working on a lab—a chemistry lab.
"Hey, Tom?" Maria said sweetly to him. "Do you wanna sit by us at lunch today?"
Maria knew that Tom had a crush on her, and she was about to take advantage of it.
"Uh...yeah, sure!" Tom replied.
"Well..." Sara said slowly, a mischievous grin forming on her face. She looked at Maria, who had an identical expression on her face as well.
"You'll have to dance ont eh stage in the cafeteria first. And I've got a special costume waiting for you in my locker," Maria said, winking at Sara.
Sara snickered. Wait till Voldie sees the costume, she thought.
During class, Sara and Maria told Tom what to do. They happened to be clever in science, so they knew exactly which chemicals to mix to cause Tom trouble.
"Oh, don't forget this!"
"Yeah and this!""And the directions say only two drops, but just pour the whole bottle. It's like they say, 'the more, the merrier'!" Maria said.
There was a small splash a loud BOOM!
Tom's hair was sticking straight up, and his face was black from soot. He was holding the empty bottle of a chemical, which was actually flammable. And ...let's just say Maria "accidentally" told Tom to pour it near the flame.
The science teacher scowled.
"Clean this up, Tom! And you're meeting me for detention tomorrow!" Tom, being so stupid, didn't realize it was actually Maria.
"Baka!" Sara muttered to Maria, and they giggled.
After science, Tom followed Maria and Sara to Maria's locker. It was lunch time—time for the humiliation of Voldemort. It would be a good laugh, and it would most likely get Tom suspended.
"Well, here's your costume!" Maria said brightly.
"Um...cough...I think that's the wrong one..." Tom said.
"Huh? Oh no, it's the right one!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yep!" Sara and Maria said happily.
"Okay..."
The three of them walked down to the cafeteria. Tom stopped to go to the bathroom to change into his costume. Sara and Maria couldn't help but laugh at the expression on Tom's face when he looked at his costume again before entering the cafeteria and went straight to their usual table, where Crys, Eve, and Phoebe sat waiting.
"Hey, you guys are not going to believe this, but—," Sara started, but laughed again before finishing.
"Oh, you'll see," Maria said evilly with a huge grin. "Just watch the stage!"
Just then, Tom walked onto the stage, wearing a frilly, pink tutu, which looked very small on him. And, if you think that's scary, then you'd be screaming and running now because...he started dancing! It looked like his version of ballet to match the tutu! And then...horror of all horrors...he started to sing! Now if you knew Tom really well, this would be absolutely hilarious! So that's why Sara and all her friends busted out laughing REALLY hard, and their faces were as red as ripe tomatoes.
Tom's face was red too—from humiliation! Soon, the principal came and pulled him off the stage, leading him out the doors, to his office.
Sara, Maria, Crys, Eve, Phoebe, and nearly everyone else continued laughing. Sara and Maria couldn't even breathe, and tears were streaming down their cheeks from laughter.
"That.Was.Hilarious!" Sara managed between wheezes.
"I...am...so...happy!" Maria coughed.
"Where's...my camera?!" Eve asked, still laughing.
"I...don't know!" Crys wheezed.
"Stop...talking! It hurts!" Phoebe commanded.
They all went into another laughing fit. It was well after lunch when they finally calmed down. After their next class, Sara and her friends had their final class, which meant they had to go outside to another building. On their way, they went into yet another round of laughs because there was Tom scrubbing the pavement for his punishment—still in the pink tutu!
When school was over, Sara went home happy.
. . .
A/N: Ok. Yeah, it seems pointless. I guess it is, but I wanted to put it in here cuz it's a good way to learn more about Sara and her friends as well as their enemy at school. So yeah.
