The Boarding School

Chapter 3- The first prank

"Yeah, well I'm not one of those people. If you hadn't said that you'd cut Mr Fossil's hair we wouldn't be in this mess." Howard winced when the antiseptic cotton bud touched the cut and hid a silent yelp of pain.

"Alright, I'm sorry but no one asked you to help me." Vince chuckled and peeled the backing off a plaster, it reminded him of when he played doctors and nurses at nursery but he always got stuck being a nurse. "Tell you what, why don't we not bother going back? I've got something better to do." Vince said with a mischievous grin spread across his face.

"What?" Howard's voice was afraid; he couldn't mess up his perfect attendance because someone flutters their unusually long eyelashes and has strangely blue eyes. Especially seen as it was Mr Fossil's class, he was already on his war list.

"We're going to pull a prank on Mr Fossil." Vince smiled and threw the empty plaster packet in the bin. "He hates Gary Numan right?" Howard nodded, his tiny eyes swirling with rippling confusion.

"Yeah, he had an allergic reaction, his neck went all big." Howard sighed, thinking he had already worked it out pretty bang on.

"Well, I say we sneak into his office, he's always dancing to it strangely like an erotic panda, so we change his tape to my Gary Numan one, he has a strange reaction and starts freaking out and in the pandemonium, we sneak and swap them back. Think about it, he's always making fun of you and I heard that you were his bitch. That's word on the street." Vince smiled and stood up, making his way to the door frame. "So are you in or not?"

"I'm in." Howard regrettably sighed, adding as an after thought "I am not Fossil's bitch." Vince merely rolled his eyes and made sure the hall way was clear before leading Howard to their room and searching his collection of tapes.

"Aha, here we go… Numan, best of and what's even more electric? Track one- Cars!" Howard rolled his eyes at the childlike delight in Vince's gleaming eyes and simply followed him back to Fossil's office. "Right, you guard the door while I change the tape. Hey 'Oward? We're like the A Team." Vince chuckled, taking the hint and placing the CD in the radio. "And now, we wait!" There was about half an hour left of the lesson so they made themselves comfortable on the floor in a corner. "Howard? Why did you stand up for me?" Vince asked as brown connected with blue.

"Well because… I didn't want you to get hurt." Howard whispered and turned away, pretending to have dropped something from his pocket. Vince smiled, no one had ever done that for him before, it felt nice having someone there even if he wasn't his friend properly. Bob opened the door, hitting Vince square in the face. "You alright little man?" Howard's voice was laced with concern but Vince was just a picture of embarrassment. He had never had a nickname either.

"Little man?" Vince asked looking at Howard but keeping his voice low like Howard had. Howard simply looked away but Vince smiled again. "I like it; it has a ring to it." When Bob turned on his radio and started to have a panic attack, Vince and Howard just laughed hysterically and Vince fell over backwards, Howard pulling him back up to a sitting position. "Suppose we should get your tape back." Howard smiled and Vince also flashed a toothy grin.

"Nah, Gary can wait, this is gold." Agreeing, the taller man peeked over the door at a frenzied Mr Fossil and almost broke into tears with joy. "Told you it was fun to break the rules a little." Vince giggled playfully and stood up.

"Moon, Noir, I want you in my office immediately!" Bob screamed and turned red with embarrassment. Vince and Howard exchanged worried glances then walked out of the room to knock on the door.

"You said you wanted to see us." Howard shakily said, Vince dropping his head into his hands and groaning. He never meant to get Howard in trouble, he inflicted a Chinese burn upon himself when he got a detention, Naboo told him.

"What were you playing at exactly? I am very disappointed in you Moon, this I would expect from you Vince but certainly not you. I'm afraid that I am going to have to give you two weeks detention and you have to scrub the dishes as well." Howard put his hand around his wrist and was about to begin the Chinese burn when Vince put his hand on Howard's hand eased it away from his wrist. "Now get out of my oval shaped vision hole's sight!" With that, he shut the door in their face and Vince turned to Howard.

"Sorry Howard, I didn't know we would get into trouble." Vince sighed and dropped his gaze to the floor.

"It's okay, I actually had fun then. I mean I am a little disappointed that we got detention hence the burn but surprisingly I had fun but what did I tell you about touching me? Don't ever touch me especially when I am mid Chinese burn!" Vince rolled his eyes and checked Howard's brown and beige watch.

"Come on, let's go and grab some lunch, we have a one hour break yeah? Let's catch up with Naboo; I have to show him this." Howard covered his gaping mouth when he saw the video on Vince's phone of a mad Bob Fossil doing what looked like a drugged up emu dancing.
