Hidden Dimples

❀ Chapter 7: Pranking Jackson

❣ Celestine's POV ❣

"You got everything planned?"

"Hell yeah!"

"Great, coming over now." Jessyn finished as she hung up.

I smiled evilly as I set my plan to action. I took out a tray and whip cream from the fridge and filled it. Halfway through a voice broke my evil thoughts.

And also scared the poop out of me.

"What are you doing?" Storm said lazily like he just woke up from a nap.

I hid the tray behind me and looked at him with an innocent look. "Nothing." I sang and walked up to him.

I pushed his shoulders with my fingertips and placed a hand on his back to turned him around, pushing him to the living room. To my dismay, he whirled around.

"Yeah, with you, there's no such thing as 'nothing'." He made air quotes when he said that as I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"Jessyn and Jackson are coming over and I'm making them something." I smiled widely and batted my eyelashes to feign innocence.

He muttered something under his breath before turning and walking back into the living room. I smiled and turned around to finish my creation.

I tied a piece of string to it and attached it over the door and to the doorknob. I used a fishing string and those things are practically invisible. Did I also mention I added a little bit of sneezing powder? No worries, those things don't last long and it's not harmful.

I tucked my tongue into my cheek when I used a ladder to put the tray of whip cream at the edge of the thick front door. Now, to play the waiting game.

"Shut up, you dipshit."

"Who are you calling a dipshit? You were the one who slammed the door in the first place!"

"You put your stupid hand there!"

"You would've seen it if you weren't texting!"

"Shut up and open the door!" Jessyn yelled, I could see her smirk already.

I was sitting on the sofa cuddled up in blankets while I read a book. As Storm walked and heard their argument, he raised an eyebrow when I shrugged as he plopped himself down.

Storm has been here for a few days and honestly, I don't mind. Having someone in the house with you is way better than being alone. Plus, he's a good cook. Even though sometimes he'd be a little distant. I don't mind if he stays here longer, he looks more relaxed when he doesn't go where he goes during school weeks.

"HOLY FU-"

"No swearing!" Jessyn said as she burst out in laughter. I had a small smirk on my lips as I pretended not to hear anything.

Storm shot me a knowing look that said 'I knew it' before I flung off the blankets and went to inspect the scene.

Jessyn was clutching her stomach doubling over in laughter as Jackson was covered in whip cream with a horrid expression. His nose started twitching when he sneezed, shooting whip cream out his nose. I started laughing along with Jessyn while Jackson rubbed his nose and sneezed over and over again.

Storm stood beside me and sighed, shaking his head as I smiled up at him. He's quite tall compared to me, therefore I have to tilt my head upwards when he's close.

Jackson shot us a glare and went back to sneezing and Jessyn just taunted him while sticking her tongue out.

I smiled at the scene.
