MNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNM
The next morning, Wanda woke up, remembering the previous night, Eric was screaming at her because he found out she skipped school... again.
Wanda could care less, she had a dream last night, it was strange actually. There were two male figures. One of which she could recognize belonged to Vision, the other was some stanger. She was to choose between the two of them. Wanda went and choose the stranger, before she could fine out who that boy is, she woke up.
Oh man, what's going on with me... I been having this dreams for weeks now... I think it's time to see Dr. Tessa, again. Wanda thought. Tessa is the one who can help the group with anything, Wanda gone to Tessa about the dreams before, all Tessa told her was, "maybe something big is going to happen in your love life."
Wanda knew that Tessa wanted to tell her that Vision isn't her soulmate, but Tessa knew Wanda too well to say such thing. Everyone feared the angry Goth, beside Rogue that is. Get Wanda angry and you get your head cut off, that's what people would say, especially Pietro. She toss that aside and grabbed her clothes and went the bathroom. Something's telling her today is going to be different then any other day.

Wanda is in first period, none of her friends were in this class, although Scott Summers and Jean Greg are. It was chemistry. Wanda worked alone, not because she wanted to, it's because there weren't an even number of students. Mr. McCoy was explaining something to the class, the only teacher she listen to.
A knock came from the door. Mr. McCoy went to open it, there was Principal Darkholm with some new kid. Wanda thought he looked funny, with his flammy red hair, red t-shirt, and red pants. Wanda look at herself, the tip of her hair was dyed red, she's wearing a red tantop, she look at her pants and let out a sight of relief, she's wearing a black pants.
McCoy and Darkholm were whispering to each other, finally, the principle left, the new kid enter the room, Mr. McCoy introduce him to the class. "Class, please quiet down, we have a new student." No one shown any interest. "This is St. John Allerdyace and he came all the way from Australia! Isn't that fascinating?"
"Fascinating, wow, like I care," Wanda said sarcastically.
McCoy just smiled, "since you have no lab partner Miss Maximoff, John here will be your new partner."
Wanda's eyes widen, "WHAT!"
"Principal Darkholme said that you and Mr. Allerdyace here are in the same classes, and Principal Darkholme would like you to show him around the school." McCoy said, ignoring her completely.
"WHAT! No way!" Wanda bursted out. "You have got to be kidding me."
"I'm sorry dear, but Mr. Allerdyace here needs a lab partner." McCoy explained as John took a seat beside Wanda, "and you're the only one available."
Wanda just glare at the new guy as he sat next to her. "You're new, it doesn't mean I'm gonna be nice to you."
"I don't mind, I like those kind of girls." John said. "It gets my mind going."
She sent him her most infamous death glare, "you seriously need to die."
"You seriouly need to control your temper, and I'm here to help." John winked when Wanda stare at him.
"Flirting won't win me over." Wanda said. She blinked a few time, "shut up and let me listen to Mr. McCoy! I wanna pass this class."
"Whatever you say, luv." John immediately shut up and listen to the teacher, as well as glancing at Wanda when she's paying attention to him. He couldn't help but admire her.

It was once again, lunch time, John followed Wanda everywhere, she gave him a funny look when she stepped outside, "this is where you eat. Go fine someone to sit with, we don't have enough room at the table for anyone else."
"Hey Wanda, who's he?" Kitty Pyrde asked.
"Hi, I'm John, a new student," He said with an Aussie accent.
Kitty smiled, "it's like nice to meet you. Welcome to our school, you can sit--"
"Come on Kitty," Wanda dragged Kitty away just as her little friend was about to say 'you can sit with us' part.
At the table, Kitty spoke up, "hey, like, what was that for?"
"I don't like him." Wanda answered and slammed her books on the table.
"Sorry, but he look really cute." Kitty smirked.
"Oh please, he's not your type." Wanda knowingly said.
"And how would you know that?" Kitty questioned.
Wanda pretend to think, "because, you said Lance was your type, but you were wrong, he hurted you. But that's okay, you'd made a mistake, you'll know how to fix it the next time. Everyone said they know what type of person they look for in a soulmate, but they're usually wrong. Take Rogue for instance, she hate Remy LeBeau before she went out with him, look at them now."
"Have you been reading your sister's old magazins?" Kitty gave Wanda a funny look.
"Nope," Wanda answered, "read it on the internet, I will never ever read my sister's stuff."
"Oh... so, who would you say is my type?" Kitty ask.
Wanda gave her the scariest smile, "you have to get to know a person before you declare them your type. If you don't know anything about him at all, that's a disadvantage. If you like a guy and want to spend your whole life with, get to know him, be his friend first. Then wait for him to ask you out or you can ask him out. But if you want to know who is your type, I'm gonna have to say Peter."
"Peter?" Kitty gave her a funny face then smile, "Peter is sweet, but--"
"But nothing girl! How many girly magazins have you read? Can't you see all the signs? He likes you!" Wanda screamed, making Kitty blushed.
Kitty said nothing else, she sat down.
Three minutes later, Piotr arrived and sat next to Kitty, Wanda smirked, Kitty felt uncomfortable, Wanda's smirk widen, Kitty felt herself sweating.
"What's wrong Katya?" Piotr asked, "are you sick?"
"N-no," Kitty studder, "I mean, I'm fine, thanks."
Wanda gave Kitty the I told you so look. But Kitty didn't reply. The next thing you know, everyone arrived.
"Wha's wrong wit' her?" Rogue asked, pointing to the nervous looking Kitty.
"I just told her Petey like her." Wanda smirked.
"Yah're evil." Rogue commented.

John was walking around the the field, looking for a place to sit. Finally, when he couldn't fine an empty spot, he sat his food tray down on a table.
"Yo, who said you could sit here?" Toad Tolanski glared.
"I said I can." John answered.
"Who are you anyway? I haven't seen you around here." Lance Aldver said.
"I'm new, I'm John, from Australia, and I'm sitting here whether you like it or not." John answered.
"Fine by me." Fred said as he munched on his sandwich.
"Check it out man, my cupcake is smirking!" Toad announched.
"Not this again..." Lance rolled his eyes.
"I think she's looking my way!" Toad played with his hair.
Lance shook his head, "dream on man, I know her, Wanda Maximoff will never be interested in you. I don't see why you like her anyway, all she does is beat you up."
"That's why I like her, yo. Ever since she locked me in that locker." Toad let out a dreamy sigh. "It's just her way of telling me she love me."
John raised an eyebrow but ignored him, he look at Lance, "so tell me more about Wanda."
"Me and Wanda meet two years ago, she then introduce me to my ex., I don't know much about Wanda, but she has a lot of anger toward her older sister. She's going out with a guy, I don't remember his name, and I don't care, and she read a lot of Gothic novals. Not to mention she's obsess with the color red."
"Really? She look more like a Scarlet." John said with interest.
"She don't like you, yo." Toad acknowledge and smiled, showing his yellow teeth, "that's because she's in love with me!"
Lance rolled his eyes, "are any of you guys going to her surprise Birthday party?"
"Are there food there?" Fred asked. Lance nodded, "I'm in!"
"How can I miss out on my sweetcake birthday, you know I'm in." Toad answered.
"John?" Lance look at the new kid.
"Sure, why not," John answered, pretending to show no interest.

Study Hall with Mr. H. LeBeau Remy LeBeau and his brother are at it again. None of John's new friend was in his class. He sat all by himself, writing something on his notebook. He hasn't taken his eyes off it either. Wanda kept glancing at his direction, he properly haven't even notice. For the first time that day, she look relief.
"Is Wanda looking at the new kid again?" Brian asked Rogue.
"Ah believe ya crack the code Braddock." Rogue answered, trying to mock British accent.
"Oh shut up." Wanda glare at them, "I'm just suprise he haven't bugged me yet... I mean, he's been bugging me all day today."
"I see the guy like you." Tessa said.
Wanda said nothing.
Rogue gasp, "my Wanda is in love!"
Wanda gave Rogue a funny look, "have she been eating too much sugar?"
Tessa and Brian just shrug.
"C'mon girl, ya like him, yes ya do, tell me, he's cute too!" Rogue played with Wanda's cheek. "An' look, both of ya like the color red!"
"What's wrong with you man?" Wanda bursted out. "Ah do not like him!"
That got everyone's attention, even John, Vision raised an eyebrow, wondering who his girl and her weirdoes friends are talking about. So he got off his seat and walk over to his girlfriend.
"Is anything wrong Wanda?" He asked, taking a seat next to her.
"Nothing, Rogue here is just saying I like Barney the purple dinosaur." Wanda replied with a lie, "And that I wanna shag him."
Vision raised an eyebrow.
"What? Ah had too many sugah." Rogue glare at him.
"Okay..." Vision said, "I'll talk to you later."
"Alright, bye." They gave each other a kiss and he walked off. "I'm getting the impression that you don't like Vision."
"How can ya guess? Is it because of that stupid night?" Rogue challenged.
Wanda and Rogue stared at each other for the longest time, Tessa and Brian didn't wanted to interfer, knowing that if they did, a bystander will get hurt.
Four minutes had passed, both of them blinked and said, "I'm sorry."
Tessa and Brian rolled their eyes.
"Okay, look surprise." Rogue whisper to Wanda.
"How many time have you told me that?" Wanda asked out of annoyance.
"Evah since Ah picked ya up. Hmm, Ah'm gon' take a guess an' say... at least fifty times." Rogue mused out loud.
"You know what?" Wanda said, "you're a weird friend."
"Tell meh somethin' Ah didn't kno'." Rogue smiled, her cell phone rang, Rogue picked it up, "'ello?"
"Who is it?" Wanda asked.
"Tessa," Rogue replied, "Umm, okay..."
"What did she say?" Wanda asked.
"There's more people at the party than there's suppose ta be." Rogue answered, "it seem, yah boyfriend an' pesky brother told some people, who told some more people who told even more people who told a lot more people who--"
"I got it! People told people." Wanda shook her head. "Geez man."
"Wha'?" Rogue smiled innocently.
Wanda shook her head and open the door to the warehouse. Then, they could hear a loud roar of "Surprise!"
"Look surprise." Rogue remind again.
"I am." Wanda muttered and pretend to gasp, "Oh my god, is this all for me?"
Everyone in the room nodded, "YES IT IS!"
"I love you all very much, even though I don't know most of you." Wanda said.
"Hurray! We actually surprised her!" Kitty said and gave Wanda the biggest Kitty hug anyone can ever imagine.
Wanda look at Rogue, who had on a little girl smile and a goofy party hat. Wanda look around the room and saw him, "what is he doin' here?"
"Pyro? Oh, like everyone else, they heard of the party." Rogue answered.
"Pyro?" Rogue nodded, "what kinda name is that?"
Rogue shrugged, "he's into fire, Ah guess. Why are ya questioning about him being here when there's othah people ya don't like..."
"And that would be?" Wanda questioned.
"Well, there's that wannabes and her friends you hate so much, Toad, Pietro and his girlfriend..." Rogue named.
"Because... I haven't seen them here yet!" Wanda shout.
"Happy Birthday, Wanda," Vision said with his arms around her, he hand her the gift in his hand.
"Thank you Vision!" Wanda smiled, gave him a kiss and walked away. "Let's just hope it's not another Barbie doll..."
Rogue followed, but not before glaring at Vision. "Ah bet it's another Barbie doll..."
"And how would you know that?" Wanda questioned.
"Because, Ah'm a psychic," Rogue answered with her hands over her head.
"More like a psycho." Wanda muttered with a snicker.
"Haha, remembah that we share a brain." Rogue pointed out.
"Oh... right... I know I'm pyscho, I got it from your part of the brain, you know." Wanda grinned.
Rogue just rolled her eyes, "Ah'm gonna look fer Remy, that Belladonna's here, and Ah don't trust her..."
"Okay..." Before Wanda could say, bye, Rogue was gone like the wind. She's now alone. Wanda could feel someone's eyes on her, so, she look around for whoever it was that is looking at her. She found him, the new kid with a funny new name, St. John aka Pyro... She walk up to him, he was grinning, "what are you looking at?"
"The beauty in front of me." John answer.
"And why are you?" She asked.
"Because you're so beautiful," John answer and hand her a large scralet box and another one with a small flammybox, "Happy Birthday."
"Umm, thanks..." Wanda answered, he smiled and left. It got her thinking, he's one stange guy, one minute, he's a all crazy and wasn't afraid to say anything to her, the next, like now, he seem so nice, easy to talk to. She couldn't help but smile. Wanda didn't know where he went off to, he was not too far away, watching her, he saw the smiled and smile along.
"Hey babycake!" A short boy with messy green hair said.
"Go away TOAD." Wanda growled, the kid ruin her moment.
"Oh come on, you know you love me, that's why you locked me up in the locker." Toad grinned, showing his yellow teeth yet again.
"GO AWAY." Wanda shout, everyone heard it.
"C'mon, mate, leave the shiela alone." John said and pulled Toad away.
"Call me! My number is 818-89ahhh!" Toad said as John pulled him away, shuffing Toad's mouth with cabbages.
"Come on, Wanda, time to open the present, and as soon as you're done with that, we can eat!." Wanda turn around to see Kurt Wagner, her brother-in-law, rubbing his tummy. He pulled Wanda away with John's presents in hand. It seem, Wanda dropped Vision present somewhere. Was it an accident? or did it happen on purpose, or was it fate?
Wanda just rolled her eyes, thinking, pig. "You have some eating disorder you know that, little man?"
"So I'd been told." Kurt laughed, "remember Graydon and Anya's wedding?"
"How can I not?" Wanda said in a dark tone, she didn't wanted to be at the wedding, Anya's big day, she tried to sneak out without telling anyone, too late, Pietro spotted her. Being the good son that he was, he bratted her out. Lucky her, Kurt decide to act his goofy self and ate half of foods that were served, at the same time, embarassing his older half brother, Graydon Creed and new sister-in-law, Anya Lensherr Creed. Wanda, Kurt and Rogue had good laughs. "You ate everything there."
Kurt just gave one of his best smile, "what? I couldn't vait for the bride and groom to finish zheir first dance as husband and vife. My stomach was killing me."
"Okay, let's go open the present, Kurt. Then, we can eat!" Wanda said, "and don't make a big scene when I open your present. Got it?"
"Got it voss!" Kurt gave her an innocent smile.
MNMNMNMNM
"All this? For me?" Wanda asked with sarcasm.
Everyone said their, yes, yea, ah-huh, whatever, and why can't I get that much presents at my birthday?
"Oh! I love you all very much!" Wanda said and went to hug all her friends and fake hugges to Pietro, and all the rest.
"Open mine first." Pietro said and handed her a little enpoylope.
She ripped it open and inside was a fifthy dollars giftcard to Hot Topic, "how do you know I shop there?"
"It's a brother thing." Pietro said knowingly, "beside, I'm you're twin, I know what you're thinking of."
"What am I thinking of right now?" Wanda challanged.
"I'm thinking that you love me more than anything, but something deep within is saying that you want to murder me when I'm not... looking..." He raised an eyebrow when she smirked, "well, I gotta go sis, bye."
"I love you too!" Wanda waved as Pietro quickly ran away, being followed by his blond girlfriend, Crystal...
"Okay! like, open mine next!" Kitty Pyrde squeal and handed Wanda a rectangle box wrapped with pink bunnies gift wrap.
Wanda put it up to her ears, shaking it a bit, "is this a bomb?"
A lot people look nervous, some left because they were afraid, and her friends just rolled their eyes, "umm, no, open it and fine out."
"Okay," slowly, she unwrapped the present, annoying a lot of people by doing so.
"Tick tock..." Kurt repeated, "tick tock."
"Oh shut up!" Wanda growled. Finally, she opened it, there was with the logo; VIOD notebook. "Oh my god! I love this box!"
"Umm, Wanda, like, the present is inside of that box..." Kitty pointed out, "have you been eating too many sugars?"
"Yep." Rogue answer from behind, "an' Ah provided them. Ah let her have her present when school was ovah. It was five pound of sugah coated chocolate."
"WANDA GOT A NOTEBOOK, WANDA GOT A NOTEBOOK," Kurt sang, Wanda told him not to get over excited when she opened his present, "lalalalalalala. Wanda got a notebook! Not just a notebook, a VIOD Notebook!"
"KURT!" Wanda pulled him by his blue hair, the little guy look afraid.
"Ja?"
"Get a haircut." Wanda smile and let him go. She turned to Kitty, "thank you so very much Kitty! I love you more than a friend now, but my best pal likes you, so I can't take you away from him, sorry."
Kitty stood there, confuse and blushing, Piotr was standing next to her. Piotr also looks confuse.
Rogue grinned toward the two soon to be lovers, and grabbed a present out of pile of gifts. "Here yah go, like it or hate it, jus' say ya love it so ya don' hurt mah feelin'."
Wanda smiled, "but you already gave me a present..."
"Well, I love you too much to just give you sugahs." Rogue smiled and winked.
Wanda just rolled her eyes, and started to open the present, at the same paste as she did with Kitty's present, by the time she got it open, only her friends, Vision, and a hidden John were left.
It was a friendship bracelet, it has a picture of all Wanda's friends on it, between them are sappire gems. But there's one area with no picture at all, an open space. A heart shaped space, why didn't Rogue put Vision in here? Wanda thought, then again, she knew Rogue hate her boyfriend and every picture her crazy white streaks Goth friend has of Vision usually ends up in the trash, ripped all over the floor, or chewed up and spitted out.
"Do ya like it or do Ah have ta bring it back and get yah somethin' else?" Rogue asked impatiencely.
Wanda look at Rogue and notice Vision was next to her friend. Either that or Remy LeBeau left without saying a word, which makes Rogue a bit sour. "I love it Rogue. Thank you so much."
"Yah welcome, Ah got it outta the quartah machine..." Rogue grinned, after moving away and sitting next to Brian and Betsy.
"Congratulation luv, you got rid of all the guests, what are you going to do now?" Brian asked sarcastically.
"I'm going to Disney Land and all of you are coming with me!" Wanda announced cheerfully.
Everyone rolled their eyes. "C'mon, we'll help yah with the gifts, an' Ah'll drive ya home."
Piotr, Brian, Kurt and Vision carried the larger presents. While the girls carried the smaller ones.
Everything were in Rogue's car, everyone left, Wanda was about to get into the passenger seat, but felt as if someone was watching her. She sighed and got in the car, Rogue turn to their favorite rock station, 97.9X and quickly, made their way home...

That night, when Wanda got home, Pietro, Rogue, and Eric help get all the presents inside. Rogue left, Wanda was now in her room. Not really wanting to open all the presents. John's gifts were on her bed. She open the big one first, slowly, she sees red.
Her eyes widen, it was a red trench coat. She thought it was beautiful. She then proceed to open the next present. It was a small book, it was hand written and it was called, The Scarlet Witch. She flip through the pages and something fell out. She picked it up, it was a bookmark with a red lighter. The fire on the light was very realistic.
She let out a confuse look and decide to forget about it. She had the same dream that night, although she doesn't know much about him, she could tell the figure she choose belong to John...
