Hello! Welcome back to CDP!
The next idea was given to me by JCullen The Cat! So thank you very much! I hope you are happy with this chapter! =D
Darn her curiosity! Aside from the situation with Ash, Mary-Lynnette couldn't stop thinking about Delos's "Special" drink. There didn't seem to be anything visibly wrong with him; in fact he seemed perfectly healthy. So what was in his drink?
"What are you thinking about?" Mark pulled her out of her reverie, handing her a crayon for her random doodle.
"What was in Delos's drink." Mary-Lynnette replied.
"I heard some kids planning to put something in his drink." Mark shrugged, returning to his free-time activity.
…
"Remind me again why we're doing this." Morgead said to Jez as they crouched behind Ms. Elizabeth's desk.
"Because," Jez hissed, " It's not fair for Pretty Prince to get to have blood in the middle of class, while the rest of us have to suffer until lunchtime."
"So what is it we're doing, exactly?" Morgead asked.
Jez crept toward the fridge and removed the several packs of blood boxes. "Putting apple juice in the boxes." Jez explained.
"Why?"
"Delos hates apple juice."
Jez shoved some blood boxes at Morgead, who took them and quickly ran from behind the desk.
Jez followed on his heels and they stopped in front of Rashel, Quinn, and Ash.
"Got em'" Jez set the boxes down where they would be blocked from anyone's view.
"Lets move behind the desk over there." Rashel too a pack and Morgead groaned and scooped the packs up again.
When everything was situated, they began carefully pouring the apple juice in the juice boxes.
"You know, we could have just replaced the blood boxes with actual apple juice boxes." Ash said, when they were a quarter of the way through.
Everyone stopped to look at him.
"What?" Ash asked.
"Now he has a brilliant idea! And it's too late to actually use his idea!" Jez slapped her forehead.
"You really think that was a brilliant idea?" Ash raised his eyebrows.
"Yes!" Jez moaned, rubbing her forehead.
"Well if it was so brilliant, then why didn't you think of it?"
Jez glared wordlessly at her cousin, and resisted the urge to pour the blood and apple juice combination in his perfect blonde hair.
They finished tampering with the boxes and put them back in the mini fridge with seconds to spare.
Ms. Elizabeth, who had been tutoring Gillian and Iliana all period, called the student's back to their desk.
About halfway through class, Delos raised his hand.
Ms. Elizabeth sighed and got out a juice box for Delos, not noticing the hole in the top.
Delos took the box and brought the straw to his lips.
Jez, Morgead, Quinn, Rashel, and Ash all covered their mouths with their hands and watched Delos's expression carefully.
Delos chocked on the beverage and spewed it out all over his desk. "Who put apple juice in my drink?" He yelled and the culprits burst out into howls of laughter.
Mary-Lynnette turned around and looked at Ash like he was insane, Rashel and Quinn were both laughing so hard tears were streaming down their faces, and Jez and Morgead were both pounding their desks, laughter not even audible because they couldn't catch their breath.
Eventually the whole class was laughing and even a giggle or two erupted from Ms. Elizabeth's lips.
"It's not funny!" Delos shouted, red in face. "I command you; stop laughing!"
Which, of course, only made them laugh harder.
"Okay, okay! Calm down everyone!" Ms. Elizabeth raised her arm and attempted to quiet the laughter.
Five minutes later, the many fits of laughter were over, and many of them were taking whooping breaths trying to get their needed oxygen.
"Now who did this to Delos's special drink?" Ms. Elizabeth asked, wiping off his desk.
Those responsible immediately raised their hands.
Idiot! You aren't supposed to admit it! Kestrel sent to her brother.
"Why?" Ms. Elizabeth asked.
"Payback." Ash replied simply, putting his hand down.
"What? I put the pink in your hair for payback against you!" Delos yelled at his cousin. "And the dye was temporary!"
"I don't like even. I like to win." Ash explained, leaning back in his chair. "And I do. Always."
"Not this time, Redfern." Mary-Lynnette muttered darkly and narrowed her eyes at him.
Ash returned her glare and repeated in a whisper, "Always."
They continued on with the staring contest while the others explained their reasoning.
"Because it's not fair!"
"Because Jez told me too!"
"Because there's nothing better to do in this dump."
"Quinn!"
Ms. Elizabeth covered her eyes, deciding on a verdict.
"Detention. All of you." She sighed.
"Is that all?" Ash asked, leaning forward. "In that case, this was totally worth it!"
Mary-Lynnette and his sisters all slapped their foreheads.
Ms. Elizabeth then began to question her sanity for ever accepting this job.
