Chapter 3: One Year In
"This is for the busted heart
This is for the question marks
This is for the outcast soul
Lost control, no one knows"
"What the shuck?!" Nick yelled as he fell out of his hammock, soaking wet. The sound of Clara's laughter filled his ears as he looked up at her.
"Rise and shine!" She sang slightly before she dropped the empty bucket that was once filled with water and started running.
"Oh, you're so going to get it." Nick quickly scrambled off of the floor as he chased after her. He was soaked from head to toe.
"Clara! Get back here!" He yelled after her as she continued to run. He wasn't mad...well, maybe just a bit.
Clara screeched as she ran through the glade, Nick right on her tail. She then saw George walking in the distance, in her path, clearly unbothered of what was going on.
"George! Help me!" Clara shouted and grabbed his arm as she came to a stop, hiding behind him.
"What did you do?" George asked as he saw Nick slowly come to a stop in front of George.
"Why are you wet?" George raised an eyebrow at his best friend.
"Come here." Nick tried to grab Clara from behind George, but she moved away as she clung onto the back of George's shirt. George as well, whacking Nick away.
"Hey. Be nice." George told him, a slight smile on his face, clearly amused by this.
"I was sleeping...peacefully..." Nick huffed from the running as he looked at George. "Then Clara decides to ruin my slumber by pouring a whole bucket of water on me." He got a bit louder and George smiled some more.
"It's just water. It'll dry." Clara pipped up from behind George. This made George laugh and Nick try and grab her once more.
"Clara, I'm gonna-"
"I can't believe she can still prank you and you are so unaware." George swatted Nicks hands away again.
"I was sleeping." Nick gestured to himself, getting more frustrated at what was going on.
Nick and George were completely unaware as Leo came up from behind Clara with a bucket of water. Clara easily moved away from George as Leo got closer, a grin forming on his face.
"Better sleep with one eye open." Leo said as he poured the water on George.
"What the shuck?!" George exclaimed as he watched the water fall from him.
"Now can I get my revenge?" Nick questioned.
"We'll give you both a five second start." George turned to Leo and Clara.
"Go. Go. Go!" Clara hit Leo's arm gently as the two started to run in one direction.
"This way!" She told Leo as they continued to run.
"What the bloody hell are you two doing?" Newt questioned as he watched the two run.
"Can't talk. Running." Leo panted as he told Newt as they ran past him.
Newt raised an eyebrow then saw George and Nick that were soaked, running right after the two. "Should've known." Newt murmured to himself.
"Better put this to a stop." Newt groaned and followed, not even bothering to run as he saw Clara and Leo go into the Medjacks hut.
"Got you cornered." George crossed his arms over his chest.
"Yeah." Nick took a step forward, swinging his arm as he pointed at them.
"Oh, no. Whatever are we going to do?" Leo said sarcastically as he stood beside Clara.
"Alright, you four." Newt appeared from behind the two soaked gladers.
"Stay out of this Newt. You don't know what happened." Nick waved him off.
"Shut up shank. I know exactly what happened. Clara got you soaked and Leo helped with the plan and got George." Newt crossed his arms over his chest as he looked from Nick to the other three.
"Ok, guess you do know...come on Newt. We just want payback." Nick whined.
"What kind of payback?" Newt raised an eyebrow.
"Little prank of our own." George shrugged.
"You tried to prank me before George. You suck at it. I'm the queen at pranking." Clara smiled proudly.
"She's right you know." Newt rubbed his chin as he thought for a moment.
"Yeah. Yeah. What about just pouring two buckets of water on them?" George questioned.
"Works for me." Newt shrugged, smiling slightly.
"Newt." Clara gaped at him.
"Hey." Newt snapped his fingers at her. "Don't think I don't remember that prank you did on me. Loosened the screws on the bench and when I sat down it broke on me." Newt told her.
"That was classic." Leo laughed at the memory.
"Oh, I know." Clara smiled a bit wickedly.
"Why is she making that face? Georgie, why is she making that face?" Nick leaned into his friend.
"Bold of the three of you to assume that Leo was the only one that I recruited to help me on this prank." Clara clasped her hands gently behind her back.
"What?" The three boys asked confused.
Stephen appeared from behind the curtain, a bucket of water in his hand. A wide smile on his face as he poured it on Newt.
"Don't want to make it on Clara's prank list." He said as Newt gasped as the water poured all over him.
"How? How does she do this?" George questioned as he watched the water drip from Newt.
"She's too good. I'll give her that." Nick nodded as Newt wiped his eyes.
"You three should join your own club. Called the Soaked Trio." Stephen said as he walked over to Clara and Leo, Clara giving him a high five.
"Ha-ha. Very funny." George said sarcastically.
"Mark my words Clara. We will get back at you." Nick pointed at her jokingly as he smiled.
"Honestly. The day you all come up with an epic prank to pull on me. I wouldn't even be mad." She smiled.
"Oh, and there's Gally with one more bucket of water." She said seriously, making the three boys turn around abruptly, no one there.
This made Clara, Leo, and Stephen abrupt in laughter.
"I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was part of this." Newt said seriously. "I've got my eye on you." Newt told Clara as he made his way out of the Medjacks hut.
"Let's go Georgie." Nick told him and headed out, right after Newt.
George followed after the two then popped his head in the door. "I'll save you a roll at dinner Clara." After he said that, Nick pulled him back, making George let out a yelp before the two laughed.
