Pietro gets an award for getting on the honor role. The Brotherhood party to celebrate.
Today was a special day. It was the semester perfect honor role assembly. The students who got perfect straight A's grades were going to receive an award plack. The students were sitting in the audience in the auditorium, waiting to be call for their award. Their friends and family were present to watch.
Pietro was one of the students who was going to receive an award. The Brotherhood came to support him.
Pietro know he'd make the honor role. He was a genius. Of course he'd make it.
"Please come up when I call your name," said Principal Kelly. He started reading off the names of students. When their name was called, they'd walk onto the stage, get their award, shake hands with their counselors, teachers, and principal, and everyone would clap and cheer for the student.
"Edward Black, Alyssa Fall, Mark Brown, Tom Suhrbur, James Woodburn, Misiel Smits, Skip Dabell, Zachary Socha, Emma Turner, Terra Falcon, Edie Addison, Risa Banuelos, Pietro Marusak, Logan Tasker, Josh Howlett, Alexa Marie, Lance Henderson, Nicole Beecher, Timothy Logan, Nancy Anderson, James Howard, Anna Lander, May D'Ancanto, Logan Bolton, Marie Shields, Don Hoberman, Ricky Wells, James Fisher, Mary Gardiner, Tom Wilder, Dylan Wolper, Mike Griffin, Cody Harrison, Jeff Walsh, Alexander Hunt, Ben Fuller."
"The'll be calling Pietro up soon," Lance whispered to Wanda, Todd, and Fred. "Cheer as loud as you can."
When Kelly got to Pietro, he wasn't smiling like he did when he said the other students' names. And he spoke with bitterness.
"Pietro Maximoff."
Only the Brotherhood was cheering loud for the speed demon.
"Yay Pietro!" cheered Fred.
"You da man!" added Todd.
Pietro went on the stage to receive his certificate. Only a few teachers shook his hand and congratulated him (the teachers who weren't asses) while the rest either looked away or gave him dirty looks.
When he got to Kelly, the man just gave him a look of hate.
"Let me guess. You feel that because I'm a mutant, I don't deserve this award, right? Us mutants shouldn't be in school and win certificate for doing well in school 'cause somehow, we cheat or something," said Pietro. "Well, Kelly, you and all the other mutant haters in the world and fuck yourselves."
Kelly's look grew darker. Pietro smirked.
Once he and the rest of the Brotherhood were outside, Wanda hugged her brother.
"Good job, Pietro."
"Wait a go, Tro," said Lance, clapping his best friend on the shoulder.
"Let's go home to celebrate!" sugessted Todd.
"Yeah!" agreed Fred.
"Bring it on," said Pietro.
"That was some party," said Todd, buzzed.
The house was a bigger mess then usual from all the partying, drinking, eatting, and dancing they had done.
"I'll clean up in the morning," said Pietro.
"Kaaaaay," slured Lance. "I'll just drop here."
He flopped on the couch.
Pietro and Wanda headed up stairs.
"I'm glad you're doing good in school," said Wanda. "Someone in this house needs to go to college and get a good job to support us."
"You huys don't need me to support you," said Pietro. "You're not helpless. You can take care of yourselves."
"Not with our grades."
"I can help."
"Thanks, but it'd be a waste."
"Wanda."
She hugged him "Night."
"Night."
They went to bed.
