Oh, this was sick.

Throwing over the covers, she crawled out of bed. The alarm that rang was not even needed because Poppy Lockwood did not manage to get some shut eye. She tried going to bed earlier, so she could wake up at two in the morning, but for the past five hours she had been awake all along. To pass the time, she switched between reading a book and playing 'Colour Switch' on her phone.

The news about the cancellation of the spring break trip did not bring a smile to her face. But the on going prank war between the high schoolers, college students and even the teachers and the staffs, certainly lifted her spirits. The prankster was full with excitement at the knowledge of what she was about to do.

Quickly lacing her sneakers up, she headed out her dorm and straight away headed for the direction of the library. She did not bother Raven with this prank, since it was already pretty late and her friend probably could not even wake up. Heh. Once there, she easily unlocked the library doors thanks to the keys she 'borrowed' from the main office earlier that day.

Once inside, Poppy started rearranging the tables, chairs and even the bookshelves. Thanks to her power, the hard work lessen.

Fear did exist in this dojo. For the sake of this movie metaphor the dojo is a tall blind Librarian. Kennedy barely talked to anyone in the school. She was starting to open up and make more friends lately but as a rule she kind of kept to herself. However being blind makes it easier to hear other people's  words and problems even if she was not intending to. This was how she had gotten the information that some of the faculty had been pranked by the students. She understood the reason why and did not fully fault the students. However she felt like she was walking on egg shells ever since she had heard about the pranks. Because who better to prank than the blind Librarian who could literally never see it coming?.In her mind this logic made her a prime target. So as she entered the school this day her hair was flowing freely to help her get around but she was very jumpy. Hours had gone by and she had gone to get a book that had been sent for her in the mail.Now she found herself wandering the halls. Which made the fear of pranks even more evident.

Despite dressing like a Student to try and avoid contact some students knew her anyway. One approached her and put his hand on her shoulder only to have it slapped away by her hair. This scared the hell out of her and she jumped and screamed a little, but all she heard was "Hi, Miss Snow did you need help getting to the Library?". She turned toward the voice her expression of terror still on her face her senses at an alert yet her mid focusing on pranks causing her to ignore her sense and be very jumpy was making her have a bad day. It was times like this she wished she could bring her panther Fido to work. Nobody would dare prank her with him prowling. But that would be no better than anyone else and it would solve nothing and it would keep people out of the Library and she wanted to encourage people to read not deter them from it.

"N...n...n..no thank you....I  will be fi..fi..fine.."

Then the rest of the way to the Library she decided to try and get the pranking out of her head. so she started to hum a song as Harriet-her hair-, lead her by tugging in certain directions prompting her to turn. a lot like a person riding a horse and pulling the reigns. Once she got into the Library her hair started tugging and leading her through a Labyrinth of tables, chairs, and bookshelves it had not even donned on her that this might be a prank or that she had even walked a different route until she had already gotten to the main desk. Then she realized something had not been right. Had someone moved the tables? she felt it was probably the janitor cleaning. A she was behind the main counter she ran her hand along the wall until she got to a vinyl turntable player. There was no way for her to find out which record was on it so she hoped it was something good. So she could do some cataloging while listening to music. She pushed the button to turn on the music then ran her hand along the counter and grabbed her braille labeling gun and started to sway and dance. But then she finally noticed something, a scent was out of place. her hair stood at attention and at alert and moved around as if it was scanning the room. 

"Hell...Hell...Hello, is anyone th there?.."

It could have been just in her head because of her fear of the pranks so she did not wait long before shrugging ant turning away ready to do her tasks.

"Shit!" The twenty year old mumbled to herself when she heard the front doors of the library opened, causing her to lose focus and almost dropped the chairs she was moving around. Luckily, she managed to recover quickly. The chairs still floated instead of dropping to the ground, making a sound that would surely give away her presence. She worked as fast as she could and moved what she intended to move. The only thing she was relieved for was that whoever had decided to enter the library, he or she had not turned on the lights.

Could it be a security guard? Who was out this late into the night? It was definitely way past curfew. The thought of another student coming in here to pull a prank as well did cross her mind, but this was hers. Even though she should have predicted random possibilities, Poppy Lockwood did not like it when she was interrupted doing something. So after the chairs were moved, the whole library now was rearranged -- even the books on the shelves -- the girl turned off her own gravity and let herself gravitate towards the ceiling. The little moonlight that shone through the windows, offered her some assistance to figure out who the intruder was.

Aha! It was the blind librarian after all. No wonder, the lights were not turned on. A small smirk played on the prankster's face. It was not such a elaborate prank, but just a simple and pretty childish one actually. The plan was just to put the library in random order and head straight back to her dorm. She would surely hear about it all later in the morning anyway. However, with the victim of her prank here, the plan changed. It looked like she would get to see how it plays how. This she found amusing.

But there was something off about the whole thing. The librarian was not bumping into things, in fact she was making her way around the obstacles fairly well. This annoyed her a little. Ugh. So to get over it, she watched the blonde and wherever she moved, Poppy would gravitate the objects near her and place it in her way. Let's see how you handle that.
