Chapter 5: Havoc Ensues
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" Misty shrieked as she opened her locker and a mountain of paper wads rushed down on top of her. Duplica stifled a giggle and Lily and Violet looked amused. Misty shot a glare at Duplica and she put on a serious face. But it was pretty hard to. Misty looked a mess. Her hair was sticking up everywhere due to her lack of concentration in dressing that morning. She was on the floor with a mound of paper surrounding her and she looked like she was about to scream again.
"Misty are you ok?" Duplica asked as she gave her friend a hand.
"Oh yeah, I'm just peachy. Never felt better!" Misty spat out.
"Hey, calm down girl. We'll help you pick up this mess." Duplica said amused as she started to pick up the junk and throw it out.
"Hey, look at this!" Lily exclaimed, waving one of the sheets in the air. Misty dusted herself off and joined the girls.
"We've just begun, don't expect anything less than this. You will regret crossing our path. We will win!" Signed Your Worst Nightmare!" Violet read slowly. She glanced up at Misty who narrowed her eyes at the letter.
"Ash is up to his tricks again. I knew you shouldn't have bugged him so much, Misty. You're his target for today, April Fool's. There's no telling what he'll do." Duplica murmured
"Oh, he isn't going to win without a fight. Let's see what this Ash Ketchum has in store for me!" Misty exclaimed.
"Yeah, you go girl!"
"You are so much better than him!"
"If you attack, he won't know what hit him!"
The four girls finished cleaning up the mess and hurried to their next class, Gym.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Um Misty…what's that on your gym shirt?" Violet asked, eyeing the garment with disgust.
"What do you mean?" Misty asked as she pulled on her shorts. She grabbed her gym shirt from the bench, and noticed a brownish-red squiggle on the front.
"Ok what is that?" Lily asked as she came up next to Misty.
Suddenly the "thing" began to squirm slightly.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Misty, Lily and Violet screeched. Misty dropped the gym shirt on the floor and inched away from it,
"What's the problem?" Duplica asked as she came out from the bathroom.
"It's ALIVE!" Lily exclaimed.
"Um…Hello, of course I'm alive." Duplica said, confused.
"No not you…that!" Misty said pointing at the shirt on the floor.
Duplica picked up the shirt and looked at the squiggle. She rolled her eyes as she realized what it was.
"Um guys, it's a worm. The poor thing is close to death and you guys threw it on the floor." Duplica said.
"IT'S A WORM! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The three other girls screamed and ran out of the change room. (Yes, they all had clothes on. Misty has her school top on and her shorts on.) Duplica stared at them wide-eyed for a second before taking the shirt and going out to the field. She let the worm go in the grass and then went back in to Misty.
"Look, it's fine now. No worm." Duplica said as she handed Misty the shirt back.
"Yeah, but it's all dirty, and icky and…" Misty started.
"Misty! It was on the out side!" Duplica exclaimed.
"Oh ok, I'll go where it but," she paused, "I'm going to where my long sleeved shirt inside." She said peering around at her friends.
"Um, ok, whatever you want. I don't really care seeing as it was JUST a worm!" Duplica said.
Misty glared at Duplica then made her way back to the change room. It was Ash, she knew it was Ash who had done this. She really hated Ash! How could he get into her locker?
"Ash Ketchum, if it's the last thing I do, I swear I will get you!"
Little did she know that she would get him, but in a totally different way.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"ASH KETCHUM! GO DOWN TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE! NOW!"
Ash got out of his seat and casually strolled towards the classroom door, making sure to pass the teacher's desk first.
"Hope you like the rat as much as I did. Too bad it died, probably from your smell." He mused. Ash quickly exited the room, not quite keen to hear the teacher scream at him anymore. It wasn't that he hated the teacher or anything. It was just that it was April Fool's Day and he was in health class, as bored as could be. Sure, he had pranked Misty today, but he hadn't been there to see her reaction. He needed to see someone suffer because of him so who better than the teacher himself. He also really needed to get out of that health class, at any cost. And so here he was, on his way to principal's office to serve detention.
Ash stood quietly in front of the secretary's desk. She looked up at him sternly but with tired eyes, "What have you done now Mr. Ketchum?"
"Oh come on Mrs. W, you know it's April Fool's Day and you people really need more fun in your lives, So I decided to help one of them out! That's all really!" Ash exclaimed.
The secretary shook her head tiredly and pointed towards the principal's office door. "Go sort this out with Mr. Jackson, I'm not in the mood,"
"Yes sir…I mean ma'am!"
Ash saluted the secretary and then headed towards his principal's door. He knocked the door twice and suddenly a plump man's face popped out from behind the door.
"Hi Jacky!" Ash exclaimed.
"Mr. Jackson to you young man, Come in, have a seat," the bald principal stated as he opened the door fully and moved out of the way, making way for Ash.
Ash walked into the office and sat down in the chair in front of Mr. Jackson's desk.
"So, Ash, we meet again, after…," he paused, looking down at his watch, " about 50 min! Record braking isn't it?"
"Yup, it sure is. Well Mr. Jackson, what are you gonna do to me, give me detention, make me do some work around the school…"
"Actually, I've been noticing that you're math marks have gone down by quite a bit this term Ash. I have decided to give you a tutor!" Mr. Jackson said simply.
Ash froze. Did he just say the "t" word? No, it couldn't be! It wasn't…it was!!!
"Uh…um…why the bother Mr. Jackson sir?" Ash stuttered. He really didn't need a tutor in his life, it would ruin him!
"Oh, well I always like to do what's best for my students,"
"Oh, but can't I just get a detention, or clean? I really like cleaning, here I'll clean your papers for you!"
Mr. Jackson smiled, "No, I think I've chosen the right thing for you. You'll have tutoring sessions every Wednesdays and Fridays in the math office. Don't worry, nobody will bother you, it'll just be you and the tutor."
"Great, just great," Ash muttered under his breath.
"Well," Mr. Jackson said as he flipped through some papers, "I think I'll assign your tutor to be…oh I don't know…how about Misty Waterflower, that should do right?"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!"
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Misty, I have a job for you, are you willing to do it?" Mrs. Chang, the math teacher asked as the bell rang.
"Sure, what can I do for you?" Misty smiled.
"There's a student who will need to be tutored every Wednesday and Friday, I'm not sure who it is but Mr. Jackson said you'd be perfect for the job."
"Sure, I'd love to." Misty said happily. Helping someone was always rewarding in a way.
"Ok, I'll go tell the principal your answer and you can come in today after school to start your first tutoring session ok?"
"Yes Mrs. Chang, bye!" Misty waved and then headed for her locker.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"You…you can't be serious!" Ash exclaimed, shocked.
"Oh, trust me, I'm am very serious, we need those marks of yours to improve and Misty seems to be doing well in Math." Mr. Jackson explained. He got up and opened the door to his office. "Well, Ash, good luck with your lessons, you start today."
"But…but…you can't….I can't…" Ash stammered as he got up and slowly trudged out of the office.
"Oh don't worry, it'll be great. Bye now."
"No…I can't do this…they can't…" he staggered, walking into the hallway. "No way, I won't let them do this! I can't spend a whole hour with the freak from space, I'll become weird too! I'll have orange hair growing out of me!!"
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
(I know I didn't explain the day well and the pranks, I didn't have many but I'm too tired to write about it so just imagine that Ash is too depressed to prank anyone and Misty is excited about the tutor thing)
*RINGGGG*
"Hey Misty wait up, why are you going so fast?" Duplica asked as Misty quickly grabbed all her books and practically ran towards the lockers.
"I told you already, the tutoring sessions start today and I really don't want to be late for my first session."
"Wow, you take this stuff seriously! If it were me, I wouldn't care if I was half an hour late, I wouldn't care if I didn't go at all!" Lily said out loud.
"That's because you're you, birdbrain. You're the guy crazy idiot with a load of hair coming out her nose!" Violet said sarcastically.
"I so do not have hair coming out of my nose, you cow!" Lily yelled out.
"Well Misty, we got to go, good luck with the tutor thing." Duplica said.
"Yeah, don't go crazy and teach the person everything you know, they'll become a nerd just like you!" Lily exclaimed.
"Ignore Lily, just go and we'll call you later ok? Bye, see you later!" Violet exclaimed.
"Bye you guys, see you later!" Misty said as she gathered up all her books and stuffed them into her bag. She slammed her locker shut and hoisted her bag up onto her back.
She started heading to her destination, math class.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Ash trudged to his math class and slumped into the chair, dropping his bag beside him.
"I can't let her think she's better than me, with all this teaching math stuff, this is dumb!! What am I going to do? Does she actually expect me to listen to her for an hour and waste my time with her? Idiot, I knew she was one!" Ash mumbled. He waited and waited until he heard faint footsteps outside of the classroom entrance.
"The moment of truth…" Ash whispered.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"I can't wait to see who I'm tutoring, I really hope it's somebody I know, it'll be a lot easier." Misty said to herself as she rounded the corner and headed down the hallway.
"I think I'm overreacting a bit, I mean it's just a tutoring session." Misty continued on.
"Yes, but you'll need all the experience you can get if you want to become a teacher!" a voice in her head mentioned.
"That's true," Misty thought out loud. She slowly walked into the classroom. Immediately she saw someone.
"Wait a minute, that hair, that hat… no, it can't be… I can't be…" Misty stuttered under her breath.
Ash turned around to face Misty.
"IT'S YOU!!! NOOOOO!!!"
