The Outsider's Imagines

class clown ~ t.m.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~y/n~

Oh, you were going to get that son of a bitch. By that, you meant Two-Bit Mathews. Ever since you transferred to the school, Two-Bit had been pranking you. First, it was putting a confetti cannon in your locker and it exploded in your face when you opened it. Then, he put brown paint on your seat just before you sat down. Then, he put a cockroach on your lunch tray! A cockroach! How did he even get a cockroach!? Clearly, Mathews was the class clown and had it in for you. You didn't know why, but he did. And you had quite enough. According to Josiah, nobody, and he meant nobody had ever succeeded in pulling a prank on Two-Bit. It was like he had eyes in the back of his head. But you were going to get him, the former queen of pranks in your old school, and you were going to get him good.

You glanced around before hopping over the fence and into the school, barely lit by the moonlight. You clutched your bag with your 'prank supplies'. A flashlight, a lock pick set that you had gotten for your tenth birthday and absolutely loved, a saw, and a snake. Yes, a snake. You had gotten one from the pet store solely for this. Did you regret it? No. 

Carefully, you picked the lock to Mr.Dean's classroom and found Two-Bit's chair. You flicked on the flashlight and shone it at the chair, and gently, took out your saw and cut about 9/10th of the way through one of the legs. Just enough so it supported itself, but would come crumbling underneath Mathew's weight. You carefully put the saw back in the bag, grabbed your flashlight,  and re-locked Mr.Dean's door. Then, you went to Two-Bit's locker and picked it open, opening it slowly. Good, just as you expected. There was a piece of tape for Two to know if his locker had been tampered with. Using your slim fingers, you slowly peeled off the tape and grabbed the snake box. 

"Okay, hey there, Lemon. Ready to prank Mathews?" you asked it, gently pulling it out of the box. The snake flicked its tongue in response. "Awe, you're so cute. I'll come back for you once Two-Bit gets a good scare." With that, you put the tape back, closed the locker, and re-locked it. This was going to be good.

You got to school a little earlier than Two-Bit to watch the show. Conveniently, your locker was only a few lockers down from his so you had the perfect view. Sure enough, a minute later Two-Bit walked in and you hid your smirk behind your locker door.

"Oh shitty fucking bitch-ass mother of Jesus Christ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" 

Two-Bit dropped his bag and hopped right into Ponyboy's arms, who then collapsed underneath Two-Bit's weight. You cackled as you watched the scene play out and watched Lemon slip out of the locker and slither towards Two-Bit. Now, Two-Bit and Ponyboy were screaming their heads off and you quickly ran up and let Lemon coil around your wrist.

"Hey, shut up you both, you're scaring Lemon!" you snapped, gently stroking the top of the snake's head. 

"We are scaring it?" Two-Bit said, still curled up in Ponyboy's arms. 

"It *wheeze*has a name?" Ponyboy gasped underneath Two-Bit. "Two-Bit *wheeze* please get *wheeze* off-"

Two-Bit stood up and brushed himself off, acting like nothing happened. "Get a taste of your own medicine, Mathews," you cooed, flipping your hair and walking off with the snake. 

Two-Bit kept glancing at you before the morning bell rang, and when it did, you snickered to yourself before taking your seat. Two-Bit waltzed into the classroom and dumped his bag on the floor before eyeing you and examining the top of his seat to make sure there was no glue or anything. Thankfully, he didn't look too hard at the legs. 

*CRASH* Two-Bit fell flat onto his back as the chair broke underneath him. You burst out laughing, followed by the rest of the class as Two-Bit stared at the ceiling in complete and utter shock before he realized what had happened and started cursing. 

"Mathews, Y/L/N, Principal Finnigan's office now." Two-Bit and I quickly stood up and walked out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~y/n~

"You broke into Keith's locker and Mr. Dean's classroom, brought a snake to school, and destroyed a chair?" 

"Uh, yes," you said, sweating. You had never been in trouble before.

"Mrs. Y/L/N, you just moved to this school and it already isn't looking good for you." 

"I'm sorry, sir," you said, bowing your head.

"And Mathews, don't even get me started on what you pull at school."

I turned to look at him and he smiled proudly. "Don't give me that look. Let's see what expression is on your face in detention after school today!" 

Principal Finnigan stormed out of his office, leaving us in the room by ourselves. We sat in silence until Two-Bit finally spoke. 

"Uh, nice job with the pranks there."

"Thanks." 

I blew my hair out of my face before something inside me randomly snapped. "Why do you keep targeting me? I know you're the class clown and everything, but it's like you've got it in for me! What did I ever do to you?" 

He stayed silent for a while before finally turning to me. "I guess, it was my way of getting your attention."

"What? Why?" 

"Because I like you." 

I looked at him confused "You're kidding," I laughed.

"I'm not," he said, turning red. "It's true. I've never known how to deal with girls and stuff, usually I just go around-"

"Pulling up girls' skirts?" I asked, remembering what I had seen at the Nighty Double.

"Uh, yeah," he said, biting his fingernail. 

"So, am I the first successful pranker?" I asked, smiling. 

"I suppose," he huffed, putting his face close to mine. "Do you mind if I..."

Something came over me, and I just grabbed his collar and kissed him. 

"Hey!" Principal Finnigan yelled. We quickly pulled apart from each other and turned around to look at him. "Detention after school tomorrow too! No hooking up in my office! Get out!" 

We both laughed and ran out of there. 

"So, should we continue elsewhere?"

"Hmm... I think I'll make you wait a few days. To get back at you for that cockroach and everything else. You know, karma's a real bitch." 

"So are you," he muttered as we stepped back into the classroom.
