Quadruple Threat

It’s been a week since the big clash at The Rear End, and Guns and Seraphina have entered a truce on behalf of the Blossoms and the Dudes. It’s definitely thanks to more levelheaded members of our houses, like Doc, who miraculously came around, and Lucian, who’s half outside, half inside.

The Iotas have received a lot of scathing comments from the student body via the newspaper, and both Seraphina and Guns have responded. The Blossoms and the Dudes collectively have refused being interviewed, though, because no one knows which way that paper would twist our stories.

“You know what I don’t like about this?” Seraphina asks, her mouth full of celery sticks dipped in peanut butter. She crunches while she waits for the rest of us to say stuff like, “No idea,” and “What’s that, honey?” (Ninni), and “Who cares?” Betsy deserves the glare she gets for that one. Somehow, she’s still here, keeping up with our rulebook, and I’ve seen no more of her smug smiles. The last part could be because, since The Rear End, the Blossoms and the Dudes haven’t been at each other’s throats. We’re back to normal, secretly preparing our next prank.

“Tell us what you don’t like about it.” Ninni tries to steal one of Seraphina’s celery sticks. She gets a smack for that and rubs her hand in her lap.

“It almost feels like last year. We’re collaborating with the Dudes again. This is so not great.”

“But it’s for the common good,” I say. “We win. They win.”

“Exactly!” Tilda’s stare widens, clearly getting where Seraphina is going with this. “We want to win. They need to lose. How do we make them lose and we still win?”

Seraphina nods deeply, slowly, moving her gaze between us.

“That would’ve been easy,” Betsy says, “but you guys wanted none of that. If you’d kept your mouths shut and not commented on the article, people would have seen the Dudes for what they really are, and we’d have come out on top.”

“Really? Is it coming out on top to have all of Deepsilver looking at us like we’re the poor girls who can’t stand up for ourselves? No one mentioned our counter pranks in that article. We seemed like total victims.”

Betsy wiggles to get comfortable on the chair as she stirs her muesli mix. “They’re over the top is what they are. They go to extremes we don’t.”

“So spreading fake semen everywhere wasn’t going to extremes?” I ask.

“It was nothing like their office thing.” Betsy whips out her glower to prove her point. She looks almost hostile like that, with her head down and her eyes scouring first me, then Seraphina.

“Okay. Well, you’ll be happy to learn that our next prank involves redecorating, then.” Seraphina sniffs, her mood brightening at the thought. “Saki and I’ve been brainstorming, and—”

“Aww, without us?” Tilda plops her lip out in a pout.

“Only because you weren’t here. We were watching a show on TV, and it just happened, m’kay? If you don’t like what we’ve got, we’ll come up with something else.
