Crystal

So apparently she was the reason the whole explosion happened, at least that's what people said.
She had seen how Sue scolded Johnny for having made such a mess but she couldn't believe that he liked her in a way.
To be honest she had had a thing for Johnny before, but who hadn't? He was handsome and really charming some times but the crush had almost disappeared by now, he was always going out with girls and Crystal wasn't going to play his game.

And about Pietro, she didn't even remember having an actual conversation with him, yes they had a class or two together but it had never been more than a polite smile or a greeting.

As it was Saturday she lay on the grass in the garden trying to get as much sun as she could, Sue sat beside her reading.

"Tell me again about Reed" Crystal suddenly said "he didn't actually meant it"

Sue put down her book "He did, you know it, I know it, let's just move on"

"Okay"

"You know what's the worst part? That I have to see him"

Crystal sighed and sat up "Why don't you talk to him? I'm pretty sure he wants to go out with you again"

Before Sue could say anything else someone yelled "Look out!"

A frisbee was flying towards them, Crystal quickly lifted her hand and changed the direction of the wind, sending it away

"Jesus" Sue muttered "idiots"

Crys stood up prepared to confront the guilty, Johnny suddenly appeared "Oh hey" he started awkwardly "sorry about that"

She crossed her arms "Wouldn't be the first time"

Johnny looked down for a bit "Can I talk with you?"

"Sure"

Sue stood up as well "I'm going to go for a walk" and with that she left them

Crystal couldn't remember seeing Johnny nervous ever before but this might be the first time, he kept looking at his feet "So you heard about the incident..."

She nodded "An accident, right?"

He suddenly lifted his sight "Not exactly, the witch attacked me for having hit her brother"

Crystal frowned "Her name is Wanda"

"Yeah, her, sorry"

"What does it have to do with me? I keep hearing stupid rumors about you and Pietro fighting over me"

His cheeks caught a faint blush "It's not like the one to win would get a chance with you, it's just that...I think he's a trouble guy and you shouldn't have to deal with him or a guy like that. I'm only trying to protect you"

She knew he was doing all of that because his ego had been affected but she only nodded "Next time let me decide"

Wanda

She felt eyes on her back everywhere she went, and even heared people's thoughts​:
why is she still here?
She should have been expelled
Don't go near her
She's dangerous

And many more unpleasant things, at least she could block them.
Carol had pretended nothing had happened, making everything less awkward. Wanda knew a lot of people didn't talk to Carol in fear she was like her, but of course she never said anything.
Pietro on the other hand was too busy to mind, he would make up excuses to not see her, but she knew it wasn't personal...her idiot brother was trying to plan a way to talk with that Crystal girl... Wanda wasn't jealous, she just didn't want him to get his hopes high and end up being ridiculed.

Wanda had planned to spend her Saturday in her room, that way people might forget about her for a minute, she sat on her bed still wearing pajamas trying to finish homework, until she heard a knock on the door. Opening it she found Loki

"Hey!" He yelled with a smirk on his face "where's Carol?"

Wanda frowned at him "What is wrong with you?"

He laughed "Nothing, want to have a walk or are you planning to remain confined in your chamber for eternity"

This was certainly not the Loki she was used to...he didn't even talk properly, she then saw him holding a canteen "Are you drunk?"

He brushed back his long black hair with his fingers "Why? You want some?"

She crossed her arms "no"

Loki shrugged "Good call, it's from Asgard, it is so strong that I bet if you drank a drop from it you'd pass out" he then put it back on a pocket from his jacket

She rised her eyebrows, he had been avoiding her throughout the weekend and suddenly he reappeared...drunk.

He noticed her silence "Don't worry this won't get in the way of your little investigation" he then looked around the room and threw himself at Carol's bed "how are you planning to get Magneto's helmet anyway?"

"That's none of your business"

He laughed "Feisty, aren't you? I had believed we were friends"

"We are"

"Good, because I want to make clear that I still charge my friends for favors so I need to know how you are getting the helmet"

She sat down on her own bed looking at him "Erik trusts me, I will take advantage of it if the information you bring me is important"

"I like you" he blurted out making her open her mouth for a second

"What?" Was all she managed to say

After a few seconds he said "I'd like you to know I might have just find a way to get in Charles Xavier's mind"

Wanda smirked "Nice cover"

"What are you talking about?"

"You said you like me"

He chuckled "It was an honest mistake"

"Didn't seem like one"

Suddenly his eyes shined with delight "Perhaps it is you who likes me after all, since you seem to want me to repeat my mistake"

Wanda crossed her arms "I'm sure it's the other way around, if not what are you doing here?"

He stood up "I was only checking you hadn't missed me"

"I haven't"

"Good, I could not stand to see you crying over me"

Wanda laughed, it wasn't that she had thought of him in a romantic way but seeing him without the show of "bad guy" he would put on, she couldn't deny his flirting was working
"So what is the plan" she asked

He frowned

Wanda rolled her eyes "You came to make a move and since I have nothing better to do I accept"

Now he truly seemed confused, he looked at the window and then back at her "Outside?"

She sighed "sure, just let me change"

He nodded and left the room...what was happening?
