Realizing
Chapter 4: Unexspected
Next week, Thursday, Wanda walked up to the school's property. A lot will be happening in the next few weeks; the prom, big giant tests, graduation and college preparations. Wanda walked by a tree when a figure jumped out. It scared her a bit. She smiled sweetly, "Hey, you."
"I have a name you know," the person pointed out. "I see you're wearing my coat."
"What?" She questioned, "you did give it to me for my birthday, want it back?"
"No, it's yours, I didn't thought you'd wear it. Since you didn't last week" John said and circled her, "warm isn't it?"
"Yea, very warm," she said, "by the way, how did you know this is my size?"
"That, luv, it's an artist secret." He grinned, at the corner of his eyes, John saw Vision, "well, nice talkin' ta you, luv, but I gotta go. Don't miss me to much."
Wanda raised an eyebrow, all they did was talk and he spoke to her like she was someone special. She couldn't help but smile, then she sighed, why do I keep getting this feeling when I'm around John?
A hand on her shoulder made her snap. "What th-- Oh hey, have you seen Rogue?"
"No," Vision answered, "what were you doing with that guy?"
"We were 'talking'..." She answered.
"About...?" He asked as if she was some stupid brat.
"What else? School!" Once again, Wanda lied to Vision about John.
"Umm, sorry, didn't mean to upset you." He apologized.
"It's all right," she shrugged.
"Want me to walk you to homeroom?" He asked, reaching a hand out.
"Sure." She said and took his hand. Together they walked off to her homeroom.
"I noticed he was checking you out." Vision said when they were near her homeroom.
"He was checking out the coat, make sure it fits," she told him, "he did give it to me for my birthday."
"Did you get the chance to open mine?" He asked, a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"No," Wanda look a bit nervous, "I got sleepy after I open the new kid's presents ... and well, I sorta forgot as the week went by."
"So his presents bore you?" Vision asked, his hopes up.
"Yea," Wanda lied, "he got me a book! Do I look like I read book?"
"Umm..." Vision didn't know. He'd never see her reading before, but she was always quoting something from books, and Rogue's always returning or lending Wanda books. "No?"
Wanda rolled her eyes when she wasn't looking at him, "Well, you should get to homeroom before you're late."
"Okay, love you." He gave her a peck on the cheek and left.
Wanda sat down in her seat, John looked at her, she was sitting up in front and he was in back.
She noticed and stared. He just smiled sweetly. As hard as she tried not to smile, she smiled. She let a out a low growl.
The announcer was about to go on in, 3, 2, "Good morning students! This is your Vice-Principle Kelly talking. I know the prom isn't here for another two weeks, but I'd like to congratulate those lucky girls who were nominated for Prom Queen!"
Wanda rolled her eyes, knowing exactly who it's going to be, she proceed to mimic Kelly, "Jean Grey, Belladonna Bordeaux, Betsy Braddock," Betts? Now, that's interesting... Wanda though, I'm going to make fun of her when I see her. "Crystal, and Wanda Maximoff! Congratulation to these lucky girls!"
Wanda's jaw dropped as she heard her name, everyone in the room looked at her, not believing it. Wanda just glared at them, she then looked at John, who just silently clapped his hand, she crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it at him.
"Miss Maximoff!" her homeroom teacher shout, "principle office, now!"
Wanda grumbled as she got up and left.
At Lunch, everyone was giving Wanda the eye. She got nominated for Prom Queen? Sure, they believe Betsy can, but Wanda? It's like a joke. Maybe it was a joke, because Principle Kelly doesn't like Goths... especially Wanda. Or maybe the man doesn't like Jewish people and her father is Jewish...
A hand waved in front of Wanda's face, she glared at the person, but it turned out to be Rogue so she calmed down, "Hey."
"Prom Queen?" Rogue raised an eyebrow.
"Yea, I think it's a joke." Wanda answered
"Yea, yah not the Prom Queen material." Rogue smiled.
"Jeez, you're such a supportive friend." Wanda replied sarcastically.
Rogue only grinned, "Are you gonn'a drop out?"
"Na, I'll stay, Vision was nominated for Prom King, if we win, it'll be awesome," Wanda said as she got up and danced.
Rogue rolled her eyes again. "Ah don't like him..."
"It not your job to like him, it's mine." Wanda stated, sitting back down, "why must you hate him like this, the past is the past--"
"Because--" Rogue started, but got interrupted
"Who are you girls talking about?" Vision asked.
"Barney the Purple Dinosaur," both answered at the same time.
Vision was getting tire of that lame excuse, he knew they were talking about him, he suspected they started since 'that' night. He glared at Rogue, who glare back three times worse. Wanda saw it and growled. "Would you two stop it and shake hands?"
"For yah shake sugah, FINE!" Rogue growled the last word.
"I didn't start this." Vision said.
Rogue glared, "YES, you did!"
"No!" Vision snarl.
They were about to start a fight, but Piotr got in between the two. "Fighting will solve nothing, friends."
"Move it Peter, Ah wan'a get mah hand on this ass!" Rogue tried to push her giant friend aside, but she wasn't strong enough, nor was Vision.
"What's going on here?" Principle Kelly interrupted.
No one said a words.
"Miss Darkholme, even if you are Principle Darkhome's daughter, it doesn't mean you can get off the hook that easily. Both of you, to my office, NOW!" Kelly ordered.
Rogue grumble as she did so. She look at Remy LeBeau, her boyfriend, he raised an eyebrow, she has a feeling that Remy doesn't like Vision as a friend anymore. That's a good thing, she smirked, making Remy wink toward her.
"Well now... that was intriguing..." Brian said after Rogue, Vision, and Kelly entered the building, "you know what?"
"What?" Everyone asked back.
"Rogue's right, about Vision I mean." Brian said, he doesn't know anything about that night. "Something about him, it doesn't seem right."
"Shut up." Wanda's eyes narrowed.
Slowly, Brian looked away from the angry Goth. He know not to mess with her. She got up, took her stuff, and walked away to her favorite spot. It was her and Rogue's spot. They had found it when they first skipped class together, they would go here to fine peace and finish up their reading. There was also this abandon storage room. She had managed to break the locks and fell in love with the place.
Her pace was slow, her thoughts elsewhere, not even noticing he was following her. She look at the tree, it was old, wide, and if you can believe it, the tree was beautiful. She took a deep breath, heard a couple of leaves being crumpled, and quickly turned around.
"Caught me." John surrendered.
"Why are you stalking me?" She questioned.
"I'm not stalking you, luv. You look... you don't look like your usual self. I only followed to make sure that you're all right." He answered.
"I'll be fine," she stated in a low growl and took a seat next to the old tree.
He sat next to her, "You don't look like it. Wanna talk?"
"No," she muttered.
"I'm not going to take a no for an answer." He said.
She glared, "Fine, I just hate it when my friends say bad things about Vision. Especially Marie, I thought she would understand."
"I'm not taking your friends side, but they are just trying to do what they think is best for you--"
"What's best for me, is for them to let me make my own choices, and maybe, if they care, they could help me out when I make a mistake, if I make any."
"It's best to listen to your friends sometime," John advised, "or you'll ruin your life and lose your friends."
"When did you become such an expert on life?" She said looking at him in disbelief.
"I'm not stupid, luv, my looks just say I'm crazy. And I am." He snicker at his own comment, making Wanda roll her eyes. "I didn't have many friends in my previous schools. So you're lucky. You've got friends watching your back, it's something I'd cherish."
Wanda raised an eyebrow and sighted, "I'll think about it."
"Good." He smiled, "so, wanna make out?"
She was about to slap him, but he grabbed her hand before she could, "You should die."
"I was kidding luv," John laughed, "I wouldn't ever do anything like that if a girl is already taken." Even if she's growing on me... He though to himself with a mental sigh. "Do you really mean it?"
"Mean what?"
"I should die." He asked, giving her the puppy face.
Wanda thought for a moment, his face is too cute, "No... but I think I would kill if I ever got beyond angry."
John smiled, "Then remind me never to upset you."
"Remind yourself." Wanda smirked, they got up, and she shook his hand, "nice talking to you. We should do this more often."
"It's fine by me." He grinned, their eyes met, sapphire on sapphire. "Here, where it's quiet, peaceful and isolated, I like it."
"Me too." Wanda found herself loving the idea. Their faces moved closer and closer to each other. Just when they were about to-- the bell rang, making them both snap back to reality. (HAHAH!!!)
"Sorry," they mutter, turning and walking their separate ways. John headed to their next class and Wanda to get some stuff out of her locker.
Wanda didn't talk to anyone for the rest of the day, not even Rogue when they were rode home. She wanted to, it was never this intense. They had been friends since as long as either could remember, she didn't know if she should call or wait for Rogue to call. She only had tonight, because tomorrow, Rogue would be out of the state for at least a week.
What the hell is going on here? Wanda mentally shouted. Her nightmares were coming true, she was voted for Prom Queen, her best friend and boyfriend are fighting, no one like the idea that she's with Vision, and--
As Wanda entered her house, she spotted her father sitting on the couch reading the newspaper like he did on his mornings, "Hey hun, Anya is upstairs."
Wanda's eyes narrowed as she heard her sister's name. "Don't tell me she's in my room!"
"Actually, it was her room before she move out." Eric pointed out as if she was stupid.
Wanda glared at him, "Well, she doesn't live here anymore, so I don't care."
"Now, Wanda, she's your sister, you need to learn to love her." Eric said, "Even if it takes you the rest of your life. Just try to make peace with her."
"There will never be peace between us as long as she's here." Wanda snarled and she head up to her room, getting ready to face Anya.
She opened the door to her room or once Anya's room, "WANDA!"
Anya raced to her younger sister and hugged her.
"Gosh, I miss you so much!" Anya squealed. She was wearing a pink and lime green dress, her black hair tied up in a pony tail.
Wanda broke free, "What are you doing here?"
"To see you of course, my favorite sister." Anya smiled.
Wanda's eyes narrowed, "I'm your only sister."
Then it got quiet.
"Wanda..."
"What?"
"You know I love you."
"What do you mean love?" All of a sudden, Wanda snapped, "what's so loving about trying to change me!"
"Wanda..." Anya was startled.
"What!" She growled.
"When mom died, she told me to take good care of you." Anya said.
"Taking care of me doesn't mean trying to change my outlook on life, my friends, or prying into my personal life!" Wanda snarled, "she loved Rogue and wanted Marie and I to be friends for life, she loved me for who I am, and how creative I am, even if I can't draw that well!"
"Wanda..."
"I hate you for that!" Wanda growled, "Every time I see Peter with his sister, or Betsy and Brian with Jamie, or Rogue with Kurt and Graydon, X23, and Gloria, I get really jealous! They have a wonderful relationship with their siblings. Look at me, look at us! Me, you, Pietro! Pietro's always out, and you're always trying to change me when you're here! God, I hate you! I wish something bad would happen to you!"
"Wanda, tell me you don't mean all those thing you'd just said..." Anya began.
"I mean all those things I just said, now go away, I don't ever wanna see you ever again as long as we both shall live!" Wanda cried, "I don't even care if you die. Just get out!."
Anya left without saying a word. Wanda slammed the door and locked it.
That night, the phone rang. Eric answered as Pietro entered the house. Eric dropped the phone after hearing what the caller said. Pietro looked at his father's terrified face. "Dad, what's wrong."
"It's Anya, she... she's in the hospital, she got... she got into a car accident..." Eric shuddered
"Should I go tell Wanda?" Pietro asked, hoping his older sister was all right. He loved Anya, she was always sticking up for him when he got into trouble. Wanda, well, Wanda would just laugh and tell him, "you're dead".
"Yes, if she will listen." Eric replied, and with great speed, Pietro rushed upstairs.
Knocking on Wanda's door, nothing happened. Usually he would have just entered, but this time it's locked, so he couldn't. He feared that Wanda had done something stupid, so he banged on the door really hard. Even if they couldn't get along, she was still his sister, his twin, and without her, he would be the only Maximoff left in the Lensherr's family. "WANDA!"
"WHAT!" Wanda growled from her bed, just waking up.
"Open this door, I have something to tell you!" Pietro shouted, "It's bad news!"
"I'm not opening the door, just tell me!" Wanda yelled.
"JUST OPEN THE GOD DAMN--" Before he could say the last word, the door opened, and he could see his younger sister, "are you..."
"Shut up and talk before I smash your head against the wall." Wanda warned.
"Okay, dad just got a call..." Wanda waited for what he have to say, "Anya just got into a car accident."
Without listening further, Wanda slammed the door in front of his face. Pietro sighed and headed downstairs, where Eric was waiting for him, "What did she say?"
"Nothing, but before I could even tell her what'd happened, she was..."
"What?" Eric looked curiously at his son.
"For the first time since mom died... I saw her crying..." Pietro answered.
Wanda growled and threw everything around. Her room was a mess. She looked at her last picture of Magda. It was taken just before she died. Wanda was already a Goth that time, and her mom was hugging her with all the love she can give and didn't care about her daughter's style. Anya was on her honeymoon with Graydon then.
"Stupid Anya," Wanda muttered angrily, "Why must you torture me like this!"
Why are you talking to yourself Maximoff? Wanda thought to herself.
She glared at herself in the mirror, her make-up all over her face, "damn it, Pietro saw me cry! That's going to ruin my reputation..." She growled dangerously, and headed to the bathroom that was connected to her room, to wash off the make-up. Then took a short bath. Afterward, she went to bed. Having yet another dream. This time though, it wasn't about two guys...
It was memories... Wanda cried, "She's not dead!"
"Wanda, as much as I hate to say it, your mother is gone," Eric said, trying to calm his teenage daughter. He knew that Wanda and Magda were very close. Magda had been sick since the week Anya and Graydon wedded. All week, Wanda had blamed Anya for mother's sickness. Wanda and Anya had never connected. They had always fought when they were in the same room. Nothing physical, unless they were in there for at least two hours alone.
"Anya did this! She made mom sick!" Wanda began to cry, "I want my mom back!"
"Wanda," Eric started, but she ran out of the room, to who knows where.
She never came home that night, Eric called all her friends, Rogue, Piotr, Tessa, Kitty and all them, but she wasn't over there. He was worried.
Wanda ran to the park, where she and Magda usually visited every week. She fell asleep, and the next thing she knew, she woke up in her bedroom. Wishing that it was a dream, but it was all true. Then, something hit her, how did she get back home? Did she sleepwalk? Had Magda somehow sent her home in her sleep? What she didn't know was, Anya had cut her honeymoon short and gone to look for her younger sister...
A/N: Okay... So... There's more Wanda/Vision then Jonda so far... but that'll change... But there'll be more Jonda next chapter! Promise!! Hmmm... Now, now, don't hate Anya, her relationship with Wanda will chance in the next chapter, and you'll properly love her too! If you're looking for Romy, Kiotr, Anlocke, and other pairings, it won't be till later in the chapters.
Next Chapter: Wanda will connect with John!! FINALLY!! And she pays a visit to her sister.
