Entangled: YOU, ME AND THEM

Summer Changed You

Scarlett's P.O.V.

(9 years ago)

"Bye mom! Chill, RiRi and I will be fine. After all, it's our last year before we graduate. We are going to have loads of fun together. Besides, we are seniors. We can rule over the school!" I shouted in happiness as we stood at the entrance of Stone Walls Academy.

We had just finished summer holidays and Riley and I were back to school to wreak some havoc. We were actually pretty excited to meet the boys and definitely jump into this school year with a notorious prank like every year's 'inauguration'.

We had been planning this prank for the entire vacation. We didn't really meet up with Jayden and Carter over the vacation as they were across the country.

"I can't wait to meet Jayden and Carter!" screamed Riley, running towards our dorm rooms, not before waving a goodbye to our parents. We missed our roommates, Niesha and Kaira, without which we definitely couldn't carry out the plan as they were necessary to cover for us while we were setting up everything.

We set up our rooms as usual to make people believe that we were sleeping and waited for the guys at one of the rooftops of the buildings. Walking on rooftops was our daily thing in the school to get out of our room. Finally, we saw the boys trudging their way here from afar and a thrill passed through me when I saw Carter. He had changed through the vacation.

"Jay and Car! Missed us much huh?" Riley whisper shouted while hugging them and then pulled me into the group hug. Indeed, we did miss each other a lot.

"No, not at all. Definitely not you Riley." Carter replied, with a straight face, making Riley pout. His blue eyes glimmered in amusement when she fake gagged at his overly sweet smile. And I could only feel butterflies in my stomach.

"So, sup guys. What is our opening prank this year?" I asked, as curious as a cat, trying to pretend that Carter's gaze on me didn't make me flush.

Thank God it was night time.

"How about inviting this wonderful year with cups and water?" Jayden blurted out, not before getting perplexed expressions from everyone as a reply since this was definitely not our idea for back-to-school prank.

"What do you mean by cups and water? It sounds highly idiotic." Riley interjected.

"Yeah like you." Jayden shot right back at her.

"Oh, I know. We are going to pour water into the cups and drink it in front of everyone." Carter said sarcastically. "I thought you were a master prankster. Almost on Riley's level."

"Ok, I take back the insult given to Riley. You are the real idiot here. Oh god, please save this damsel in distress." Jayden replied in an extremely sarcastic voice while glaring at Riley who flashed Carter a wide smile, while giving him a small salute.

"Or is it the cup challenge? Placing cups filled with water everywhere in school?" I let out, scratching my head, distinctly remembering it from some post I read online.

"Yes, learn something from her. Wow, Ms. Huntington, you have some brains over there." Jayden patted my back, complimenting me, and continued, "So we are filling the entrance floor and the top floor with cups filled with water. The entrance floor to ruin students' lives and the top floor to ruin teachers' lives."

"Riley and I take the entrance floor. Scarlett and Carter take the top floor. Don't screw it up. And here are the materials needed for tonight. Loads of cups and water bottles." Jayden said as he gave one pack to each of us.

No one asked him how he had stuffed almost all of it in the huge coat he wore. This guy was better prepared for an apocalypse than the government would ever be.
