The Razgriz Legacies [Book 6]

Commotion

Sorry it’s taken so long for me to update!  I got inspired to write a new chapter after creating the video trailer for this story (which if you’re interested in watching, say so in the review and I’ll give you the link!).  Enjoy the chapter :)

Chapter 4: Commotion

Lux 

If I hadn’t been so pissed at Scott, I might’ve actually felt bad for the things my brothers did to him.  I didn’t want to question how they didn’t caught doing these things even though Scott swore up and down to the commanders that it was them.  But my brothers are extremely good liars.  The only people who don’t fall for it is anyone in our family.  I don’t know how Will and Jem do it, but since they were helping me exact my revenge on Scott, I didn’t question it.  Percy was irate over the whole ordeal but he’d been rather temperamental ever since the episode with Shiloh having lunch with Axel Bernitz.  I don’t know why my sister did it, but she was typically good at judging people.  I trusted her on this.  To be honest, I think Percy had a soft spot for my sister, if not a crush.  I was pretty sure Shi had one on him, but she hadn’t told me.  Probably worried I’d try to hook them up.  In my defense, I’d only do so if I knew he liked her back.

But back to my brothers and Scott.  The pranks went on for a week.  The first being they put a dye in Scott’s shampoo which caused his hair to turn into this obnoxious Osean blue color.  Then when my ex went to complain, they put itching powder in his sheets.  He was scratching all the next day.  Next Will and Jem baked chocolate chip cookies with a lot of chili powder in the dough; arranged neatly on a plate with a note that said “Dear Scott, I’ve had the biggest crush on you and I’ve heard that you’ve been having a rough time lately so have some chocolate chip cookies :) Sincerely, your secret admirer.”  With Scott’s room being right next door to my brother’s they could hear him yell in pain from the spiciness and the water in the sink running.  Will and Jem apparently literally rolled on the floor in laughter with that one.  However, the base commanders started having men patrol the hallways, particularly ours, to make sure no one pranked Scott anymore.  This was much to the disappointment of my brothers.

Currently, Shiloh, Isabelle, Charlotte, Tessa, and I were pretending we were the Spice girls and singing “Wannabe”, each pretending be one of the singers.  I was Scary Spice; I’ve always been her, maybe because I have a temper.  Shiloh’s always been Baby Spice since she’s the baby of our entire family.  Isabelle was Sporty Spice since she was the only one out of all us girls to do an actual sport (cross-country in case you’re wondering).  Tessa was Posh Spice.  I mean, the other girls and I cared about looks, but Tessa had the best wardrobe of any of us.  She always looked perfect, whether she was sick, pissed off, or any other time you can think of.  Then finally, Charlotte was Ginger Spice.  We forced this on her one year after she dyed her hair red because she’d just seen the Little Mermaid and wanted to have the same hair color.  She regretted it instantly but we’ve never let her live it down since.

“You should start your own group,” a voice laughed from the doorway.  We shut up instantly, facing the intruder.  It was just Percy, but he was grinning. “Listen, the boys and I are going clubbing tonight.  Y’all want to come with us?”

“You know what?  I’m in.  I want to party.  Meet a new guy.  Screw Scott,” Lux declared.

“I was gonna say something, but considering the mood you’re in, I’m gonna pass,” he remarked. “Girls?”

“I think we’re all in.  Ooh!  Shiloh, you should tell Axel to meet us there.  I want to meet him after you told us what he looks like!” Charlotte exclaimed.
