Hiddenville XXI
Summary: The Rebel Raptor Takes Over Hiddenville High
Evie's Notes: Hey guys, hope you all enjoy the new chapter! ❤️
Amelia loved her friends but sometimes she seriously questioned their sanity. Phoebe's current obsession with discovering and reporting on the gum chewing habits of a typical highschooler was certainly one of those times. Mia shook her head as she watched the girl scrape chewed gum off the hallway bench while bickering with her brother. That girl really wanted an "A" in journalism class.
"Hey Mia" greeted Max as he strolled over to her, apparently done harassing his sister for now.
"Hey Max"
"Did you see that? Apparently the Rebel Raptor struck again" asked the boy, gesturing to the clown posters decorating the lockers featuring their principal's face.
"They're kinda hard to miss," laughed Mia.
"Well whoever it is really captured Bradford's stink lines" joked Max, causing the surrounding students to laugh.
"Stop Laughing!" shouted Principal Bradford as he stormed over to the group. "I am sick of these posters. This has been going on for weeks".
Pushing through the crowd, the furious man suddenly spotted Max and Mia standing together and narrowed his eyes. "You two"
"Hey, hey, hey! Before you accuse me. I want you to know I did not do this, all right" argued Max, throwing his hands up in surrender.
"It wasn't me either. I was in Swellview hanging with friends" added Amelia.
"And I was home all night" finished Max, motioning his sister over to them. "Ask Phoebe".
"It's true Principal Bradford, Max was home all night while I worked on my article. It's about the gum chewing habits in a typical suburban high–" explained Phoebe only to be cut off by the irate educator.
"Don't care! But when I catch this Rebel Raptor, they are going to get the WORST punishment this school has to offer" ranted the man.
"What? Being principal for a day?" sassed Max, before high fiving Mia.
"They're gonna spend the rest of high school workin' the lunch line!" threatened the man as he tore down the posters.
"You guys! The Rebel Raptor! That's it. It's the perfect article for my journalism assignment. If I can find out who he is, it'll get me an A for the class and on the cover of the paper!" celebrated Phoebe.
"Good luck with finding them Pheebs" smirked Mia, as she sneakily taped one of the clown posters to Bradford's back.
"Get to class, the lot of you! And I better not see another of these posters " yelled the Principal as he stormed away, causing the hall to descend into chaos when they spotted his newest accessory.
*A New Hero - A New Hero - A New Hero*
Over the next couple days Phoebe's obsession with finding the Rebel Raptor grew. Amelia had her own suspicions on who the prankster was, the list began and ended with Max.
Mia was surprised when she got a text from Phoebe asking to hang out, but having nothing else to do she agreed. When she entered the Thunderman house she spotted Gideon bouncing excitedly on the couch.
Sliding into the seat next to her excitable friend, she whispered "What's all this about?"
"I'm going on a date with Phoebe" celebrated the boy.
Amelia cocked an eyebrow in disbelief, whatever this was she was sure it was not that.
"How is your search for Rebel Raptor going?" Max asked his sister as he exited the kitchen with a bowl of food.
Mia waved happily to her friend, but became confused as she heard the girl's response.
"I made a list of everyone at school who has the skills to pull off these stunts and summoned them here"
"And they're the only two that showed up?" laughed Max.
"So this isn't a date?" asked Gideon
"No"
"Can it be?"
"NO!"
"Your loss, baby! Mia, you want a ride?"
"Sure, Gid. Phoebe, I'm both honored and offended that you think I would be the prankster. But I'm not. Like I said, I was busy with my Swellview Friends during the time of the pranks" replied Amelia, tugging her coat back on and following Giddeon to the door.
"Well you're still hiding something and I will find out what," swore Phoebe.
"Good luck with that" laughed Amelia, pulling the door shut tight behind her.
*A New Hero - A New Hero - A New Hero*
The Hiddenville High student body was buzzing with excitement the next day because Phoebe had somehow secured an interview and photo with the mysterious Rebel Raptor. Looking over the photo and article, Mia was even more sure that the Raptor was Max.
Phoebe though was refusing to give out the name of the mysterious prankster even when questioned by the Principal. Amelia was shocked to find that Bradford had decided to make good on his threats and assigned Phoebe to lunch duty. The girl was understandably not taking it well. If Mia had not already been 99% sure that Max was the Raptor, his guilty behavior would be a dead giveaway.
When the bell rang for the end of the school day, Mia met up with the band at their lockers.
"Hey Guys! Anyone free to hang out tonight?"
"Sorry Mia, but I have to help my grandpa" apologized Gideon.
"And I have dinner with my folks," added Oyster.
"Looks like it's just you and me, Max" grinned Amelia
Max shot her an apologetic look, "Sorry, M. I have to babysit Nora and Billy"
"Well that's a bummer" pouted Mia.
"Why don't you see if you can facetalk with Charlotte and the others?" suggested Gideon. "You were just talking about how much you were missing them".
"Yeah, I'll probably do that" sighed Mia, today was one of the days where she didn't have a lot of classes with the boys and she wished they could have gotten together.
Unfortunately, it turned out that the Swellview crew were busy getting ready for Cactus Con and unable to facetalk. So instead of chatting with her friends Mia found herself suiting up and heading out to protect the streets of Hiddenville.
