Max stood in the dorm with the bag of newts in her hand. It was dinner time, so no one would be up here for a while. It was the perfect time for the stunt. She checked her watch again. Three minutes 'til Nata should get here. She bit her lip, it's what she does when she gets bored. Three minutes passed. Max sighed and sat on Kareem's bed, waiting for Ren.

(((Lol...newts. That word makes me laugh so hard)))
Nata sprinted up the stairs of the boys dorms, trying to suppress laughter. God, Maxi was a genius. Ren had always been a prankster and a troublemaker, and Maxi was like the Thelma to her Louise, the Starskey to her Hutch. The two had hit it off right away, becoming fast friends. Ren had yet to tell her about being a werewolf, but that wasn't something you necessarily blurted out right away. Now, she slid the door to the boys dorm open and slid inside, ninja-style. "Hey, hot junk," Ren said, which was her typical greeting to just about everyone. "Sorry I'm late, Kareem was helping me with my Charms homework. So," she said, her eyes lighting up with excitement, "Ya ready?"

Max was lying on her back, throwing the bag of newts high into the air and then catching it when Renata slipped in. "Hey yerself," Max answered, "Not a prob, we still have plenty of time." She grinned. Renata and Max were partners in crime and most of the pranks pulled in the school were their doing. She nodded Ren over and started untying the knot at the top of the bag. "Ok, we're not doing Kareem's bed this time because I promised I wouldn't put live beings in his bed again. Prolly something about him being a Buddhist, I think he squished a couple of the spiders last time. Anyway," Max finished untying the bag, "You take that half, and I'll take this half, when we're done, I have something else planned," Her eyes twinkled with mischief. She took some newts out of the bag and spread them under the sheets of the beds. She had given them a sleeping potion that would wear off in an hour or two. Perfect timing.

Ren nodded, feeling the old rush she got when she and the boys did stupid things back on the rez. "Right," she said, taking the newts and putting them in the beds. For some strange reason, Ren was glad that they weren't putting newts in Kareem's bed. She always felt bad pranking him. Even though she tried to convince herself that she only felt bad cause he was tutoring her, she realized that she liked him a little more that just as a friend. This scared Ren- the last boy she had been in love with had died in a terrible car crash. Jude. He reminded Ren of Kareem in so many ways that she grew nervous that history might repeat itself if she allowed herself to like him. Ren was trying to deny her feelings, but it was tough. She put the last of the newts in the bed. "Well, that was fun," she said.

Max had flopped back onto Kareem's bed to wait for Renata, She kept glancing at the other beds, making sure the sleeping newts weren't waking up prematurely. While she was waiting for Ren, she chanted the spell in her head so she wouldn't forget. As soon as Nate was done, Max leapt up, "Oh, we're not done yet." Max bent down to get the shaving cream under Kareem's bed. She had hidden it there for this prank. She grinned. Delicately, and not wasting any, Max put a few blobs of shaving cream on everyone but Kareem's bed. then she took out her wand. Repeating the spell out loud, the shaving cream disappeared from view. "Kareem taught it to me, he thought I was going to use it for the newts." She grinned, "Should we go eat dinner now?"

It took all Ren's self-control to keep from laughing. God, Maxi was a freaking genius. The boys were going to be so pissed off, and they probably wouldn't even figure out who did it. Well, Kareem would, but he was too nice to tell any one. "You are a prodigy. It's amazing! How do you think up all these pranks, yet fail your classes so miserably?" Ren asked. She was aloud to tease Max about her classes, seeing as she did worse that Maxi did. "Yes, I'm absolutely starving," she said. Thankfully, no one had noticed Renata's werewolf appetite- or at least, no one had mentioned it. "So, I see you're actually being nice to Kareem this week and not pranking him," Ren said. Not that I care, she tried to convince herself.

Max thought about Ren's question. "I prolly fail my classes because I waste all my time thinking up the pranks....It's not like I care either way." She shrugged Max nodded and led her down the twisted staircase, "hmm, seems like you care that I'm not putting newts in Kareem's bed. You sweet on him or something?" She giggled.

Ren's eyes went wide. She was that transparent? Oh, crap! "What?! Yes! Well, no! No, of course not!" She knew Max could tell, though, and wouldn't give up until she got the answer she wanted. "Um, a little bit. Kind of! ...Okay, yeah, I am," she said softly. "But you can't tell him," she insisted. "I'm not gonna admit it to him. Hell, I've barely been able to admit it to myself," she said softly. He was just too much like Jude.

Max was about to laugh and make a smart remark, but she could tell that Nate had something on her mind. "Well, I don't think you have to be so shy, Kareem definitely isn't, I mean...Have you seen the way he looks at you?" She laughed softly, "You both obviously like each other, so what's the problem?"

Ren blushed when Maxi mentioned that Kareem was 'sweet on her,' as she said. Really? He was? She felt excited, nervous, happy, and slightly panicked all at once. Maybe there might be a chance for her to repair her badly broken heart. Maybe she would be able to get over Jude and what had happened. Maybe she could love again. "The problem is...I don't have good luck with guys. Especially nice, sweet, loving guys like Kareem. I just don't deserve him. I had my chance at someone like him, and let's just say it wasn't meant to be." She tried to keep her emotions from taking over. Clenching her fists, she tried to stop the tremors shaking her body.

Max rolled her eyes and put her hands on Ren's shoulders to try and calm her down a little. "What do you mean 'don't deserve him'? Are you crazy? You two were obviously meant for each other. Whatever happened with that other guy, just forget it and move on!" She smiled, "If you don't take this chance, I will seriously slap you silly."

Meant for each other. She closed her eyes, remembering the last guy she had been with that people had made that comment. "I guess I am crazy. I honestly don't think someone as wonderful as Kareem deserves some crazy, messed-up, tramp like me. He deserves someone just as amazing and kind and perfect as he is." She ran a hand through her wild curls. "God, I wish it was that simple. I wish I could just forget and move on. It's just..." Oh, wow, she had never told anyone, apart from her brother, about Jude. "I honestly thought he was the one. He died. And he was so much like Kareem it scares me sometimes. Someone like me just doesn't get a chance like that twice. I don't deserve it, and I don't deserve him," she said, her voice rough from holding back her emotions.

Max's eyes grew wide at Renata's story. For someone who doesn't cry, Ren's story was seriously moving her. "First of all, you're not a tramp. Second of all, can you see yourself clearly Ren?" Max laughed, "You're like one of the best people I know....aside from maybe Kareem. You're nice, funny, helpful, loyal. You need to take a look at yourself in a better mirror or something like that because you're seriously depressing me." She shook her head, "You're being waaaaayy too modest about yourself, and don't even think for a minute that I'm going to let you delude yourself into thinking that you don't deserve Kareem. You both deserve each other." Max smiled, "Got that?"

Ren listened as Max ranted to her. It was kinda surprising. She really didn't see herself clearly at all. "You really think that?" She muttered. Ren wasn't all that used to being complimented. Back on the rez, she was a wild-child rebel who people automatically assumed was a b*itch and feisty. Those few people who knewthe real Ren were jerk-head guys who barely considered Ren female. To them, she was just one of the pack, and didn't really deserve compliments. She got ribbed just like everyone else. "Thanks, Max," she said, glancing up at her friend. "I got it, I got it."

"Good," Max's smile grew wider. "Sooooo, when are you gonna...you know....talk to him?" Max loved acting like a gossip obsessed girl. She also wanted to make sure that Ren set a place and a time so that Max could make sure she didn't back out of it.
