Chapter Five: Aftermath of a party
Lance stepped up on stage and cleared his throat. (I think I forgot to mention that this "stage" was actually just a huge dining table in the Brotherhood's living room). "Yo, shut up!" He shouted. Everyone stopped dancing, drinking, or giving people wedgies and looked at Lance.
"Since this party's rockin', I'm gonna invite y'all to stay at our house tonight!" The crowd cheered like crazy but some people looked annoyed. "What about our parents?" "Yeah! The invitation said 7 to 11 PM!" "Jeez, I have a piano concert tomorrow!" "Ew, seriously?" "Yeah, you got anything against that?" "No, man, chill…!" Lance glared at them which made them shut up.
"Anyway, if you're staying over night you can stay, if you gotta go 'cause you're a wuss who needs to go to a piano concert leave- NOW!" Half the crowd left grumbling about Lance the party-pooper. Lance scanned the crowd and grinned when he recognized the familiar brown ponytail bobbing up and down in the middle of the dance floor.
Pietro zoomed up to Izzy and put his arm around her waist, "Well this is gonna be interesting" Izzy sighed and rested her head on Pietro's shoulder, "Yeah… I guess…" Pietro blinked, "Is there something wrong, babe?" Izzy shook her head sadly, "Nah, nah… I'm hot" Pietro smiled and rested his head on hers.
"So," Lance continued, "Let's see whom we have here" He glared at Scott and Jean, "Oh, how nice, we got all the X-geeks" Scott looked around the room to make sure any non-mutants or people who don't know about their powers were still lingering around but all of them had left.
He raised his hands to his glasses but Jean stopped him. She shook her head, "Not a good idea, Scott" Scott glared at her and made a fist but released it after a few seconds. "That's it, Scott, suppress the anger" Scott made a fist again and stared at Jean angrily, "That's not helping, Jean! You know what, just- just stay away from me!"
Scott marched off angrily as Jean stared at him trying to read his mind. "Get out of my head, Jean! You don't need to be with me 24/7!" His thoughts shouted. Jean took a step backward, not believing what had just happened, and bumped into someone. She turned around and started to apologize when she gasped, recognizing the tall figure looming over her.
Suddenly the lights went off and Lance turned on a flashlight in the middle of the room. "Who's up for a round of- " He threw the flashlight to Toad who placed it under his face, lighting up his creepy grin, "Truth or Dare" he said spookily. The whole room filled up with nervous giggles.
Everyone gathered around in a circle snuggling up to his or her neighbors. Jamie had his arm wrapped around Jay's, Izzy and Pietro were too busy making out in the corner to realize the lights had gone out, Rei was squished in between Ray and some guy in a grim reaper costume, Cali was in between Felix and Sam not noticing the tension between the 2 guys.
Lance plopped down next to Kitty and grinned, "Kitty, truth or dare?" Kitty giggled nervously, "Truth, definitely truth!" Lance sighed disappointedly, "Aw, come on pretty Kitty, be more daring!" From across the circle Cali made throwing up sounds and everyone burst out laughing. Lance glared at her, "Okay, Cali, how about you? Truth or dare" He said menacingly.
Cali rolled her eyes and rested her chin on her hands, "Dare, of course" She said returning the glare. "I dare you to…" Cali grinned evilly and eagerly at him. "Bring it on" Lance continued ignoring her remark, "Wear Toad's clothes" Everyone in the group EWWWWWWWWed but Cali shrugged, "Yeah, okay"
Five minutes later and Truth or Dare was in full swing. Jay was in a fluffy pink rabbit costume, Lance was in his rock-patterned underwear and Cali was in Toad's long sleeved ragged clothing. Pietro, however, was not having any fun. "This is boring, let's stop the dares and get into more personal stuff, y'know?"
"Okay," Lance said, "Let's go around the circle and everyone has to say who they have a crush on" Rei rolled her eyes, "How juvenile is that?" She said to no one in particular. The boy in the hooded cloak snickered. "Now, I'll start, I have a crush on the cutest girl in Bayville. She's the star in my grimy sky, she makes the day better even if she's not there, she's so pure she purifies everything around her, she- "
Pietro made the --; face and said, "Lance likes Kitty. Next! Jean?" "Um… well… you see… I…" "Jean likes Scott. Next! Scott?" "I don't like anyone" "Scott likes Taryn. Next! Who do you have a crush on, Izzy baby?" "Pietro, of course, sweetie-pie" "Awwwwwwww I wub you too, my Izzle-bear" "NEXT!" The whole circle shouted in unison.
"'Kay," Izzy continued Pietro's mind-numbingly boring game, "Next! Guy in hood?" The guy lifted his hood up, it was none other than- DUN DUN DUN Will Scarlet! "My heart desires no one, deal with it" Rei gasped, as she stared at the face that had captivated her only a few minutes ago.
"Awwwwwwww, come on Willy-poo, you gotta say someone! Don't be a party-pooper" Will merely glared in her direction, "Don't you ever get tired of having your job?" Izzy blinked at him. "What job? I'm fifteen, dude, I don't do jobs" Will stared in her direction intently, "You know what I mean; the job of being the clueless preppy airhead. You know you're smarter than that, Isabel" Izzy looked uncomfortable, "N-Next…" She stammered.
"Rei?" Rei shook her head and tried to keep her face straight but there were slight tints of red on her cheek. Izzy grinned evilly, "If you don't tell me I'll just get Jean to find out for me" Rei shook her head more vigorously, "NO! No, no, no! I'll tell, I'll tell… jeez, Izzy!" Rei took a deep breath. I can't tell them whom I really like… I'll just make something up… I hope Jean isn't reading my thoughts… I… "I… like…"
"FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE! AHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" Everyone turned to stare at Cali who was 'sushi rolling' over Sam. Sushi Roll: When someone wraps himself or herself in a blanket and rolls over another person. Sam was underneath her laughing and trying to push the giant blanket of a Greek Australian off him. Felix, however, was not amused. "Calliope, that's just wrong behavior for a sleepover for people our age"
Cali grumbled and got off Sam who was rubbing his sore back. She grinned evilly at Felix who was fearing for his life, "W-What? What's with that face? C-Cali? CALI?" Cali rolled on top of Felix and laughed evilly, "Sushi roll time!"
The circle smiled and suddenly Toad jumped into the room holding about 20 pillows. "PILLOW FIGHT!" He screamed girlishly. Soon feathers were floating in the air which reminded Rei of the day when they first moved into the mansion. Rei moved into the corner of a room and pulled out a book from her bag. She sighed as she watched everyone jumping around the room with the happiest smiles she had seen in a long time.
There was one figure, she noticed, that wasn't smiling, a figure whose bright black eyes looked darker and duller than before, a figure who heading towards her. He stood in front of her, blocking the light from the ceiling so she couldn't read her book. She sighed and put the book down, "Yes, Will Scarlet?" He stared down at her. "Forget what happened today. It's for your own good…" He said and left.
Rei blinked. She blinked again. Somehow she knew exactly what he meant by that. He wanted her to forget them… their kiss… the kiss… How could she forget the kiss? Izzy had it on her phone for Christ's sake! Rei glared at him through teary eyes. "No" She said. He stopped and turned around. His eyes seemed duller than before. He opened his mouth to say something but fell on the ground instead.
Everyone stopped jumping around the room or giving people wedgies and stared at Rei's direction. She was sitting in the corner with a shocked expression on her face and an unconscious Scarlet in her arms.
Five minutes later the party had toned down a bit thanks to Will's sudden lightheadedness (yes it's actually a word). Amara came up to Izzy and sighed, "Hey Izzy, what's wrong with you?" Izzy blinked at her like she had to Will, "Huh? Nothing! I'm hot! You hot?" "Burnin'," Amara replied with no facial expression, "You know what I mean, girl, you haven't spread a single rumor tonight, spilled anyone's secret!"
Izzy thought for a while. Maybe she just wasn't feeling well tonight? "You know, Amara, I think I'm- " "I kinda miss the old Izzy!" Amara laughed. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is when Isabel Drake snapped.
"Yeah? Well what if I don't know want to tell any rumors, Amara? You know, rumors are mean and that means if I tell rumors I'm mean! And what if I feel like keeping at least one secret to myself? Secrets meant to be kept secret, Amara but I guess you wouldn't understand that since you tell all of Tabitha's secrets to me 5 minutes after you hear them!"
Tabitha gasped and stared at Amara but Izzy kept going, "You know I actually care about going to a good college, okay? I can do a lot better on my grades if I tried- no, if everyone would let me! If I get one correct answer for Math everyone thinks I've been possessed. They say 'Ha! What's up with Izzy? Did she suddenly turn smart?' Yeah well, I've always been smart, probably even smarter than you, Amara. So if I don't want to be that girl you think I am then I won't be!" She said and marched out of the room.
Pietro started to run after her but stuck a weak hand out in front of him. "Just leave her alone tonight" Pietro sat back down and sighed, "Izzy-poo's sad… Izzy-poo's never sad…" Will glared at him, "She's a human being, Pietro, she can't not be sad" He said and walked back to Rei and ice bag she was holding.
Suddenly Evan shriek filled the room. "You and Jay? Y-You and Jamie?" Everyone in the room let out a big "AWWWWWWWWW" much to Jay's annoyance. Jamie, however, was used to it.
"Jay and Jamie! How adorable is that!" "Do you think I'm adorable, Kitty?" "Um… I wouldn't say, like, adorable. You're more, like, um… hunky! Yeah!" "Okay, Pretty Kitty!" "Jay and Jamie? Ha! Two midgets! They're perfect for each other!" "Hey watch your mouth, Roberto or I'll- " "Or you'll what?" "I'll shove this foot where the sun don't shine!" "Oh… crap…" "Awwwwwwww, aren't they so perfect for each other, Scott?" "Yeah…"
Evan was watching from outside the crowd of people pinching Jamie's cheeks and being pinched by an angry Jay. Jay and Jamie? Perfect? HA! They may seem cute but there's going to be a lot of problems in their little relationship… Glare Angry glare Evil glare Death glare God damn it! No one can feel my freaking' glares!
