Chapter 717 - Forbear

"You coming, Stephanie?"

"Give me a second. I dropped one of my books."

"Is this it? Here you go."

"Give me that. I...….Ariel?"

"You know, you could say thank you. I know my beauty is awestruck, but I didn't know it would leave others speechless."

"Quit with the jokes and follow me."

"Woo..wooo….

*Shtiingg*

I can feel your breath, pinning me to the wall."

"Did you get my name on your test, cause I am for certain that Blossom accidentally wrote yours on mine. Where's yours."

"Then…I….I….think we….*Gulp*...should both complain…..to...her."

*Snatch*

"We'll see if this really was a mistaken identity, or a crossed out.....'Name: Stephanie Taylor.' "

"You're going to make us late for next class."

"Their won't be a next class as long as you are on my time. So, to hide your powers...or….lack of…then here is what we'll do. You will follow my lead, my every word, and my every action like your life depends on it…..cause it does. If not...…I'm telling Headmaster what you did last night."

"You wouldn't…"

*Squuueezze*

"Ouch…you're hurting me. You're…"

"Try me.

.....That's better."

"If you want us to craft, Dustyn; just so that you can impress him; then forget it.

Well I am certainly not doing Jacklyn. She is not a role model either."

"I….."

"But you're right. We have to think of something, or else we'll both get kicked in the butt.

Mrs. Blossom?"

"Earn brownie points in front of everyone? That doesn't make you the teachers pet, you know"

"Okay then, Ari fail. What do you suggest I do?"

"Stop calling me Ari Fail, for one?"

"Coming, Stephanie? Where are you?"

"Bye Ari Fail.

*Boop*

"Hey, stop that."

"And you best come up with a solution before Studyhall...….or else….."

"Huuuuaaacckkkk..

Gulp.

…..Ugggggh.

I just want to spit at her feet."

"Hey, Ariel. How are you holding up?"

"And then wipe it up with my hair so no one notices.

Hi, Girls. I thought I told you you did not have to check up on me."

"What kind of friends would we be if we listened?

We saw what Stephanie was doing to you. Are you hurt?"

"No. But she is."

"What did she say?"

"Well, whatever it is; must have been vile if it came out of her mouth, or any of those girls mouhths. I tell you, next time you see her; don't even stop…..just walk away and keep going."

"I don't know. I see hope in her."

"Oh no. Don't tell me your Jacklyn has made you oblivious so that now you see others differently.

Reality check. Jacklyn is a fantasy. And because of that, now everything you see has turned into a fantasy and no longer a reality. Come back to the light, Ariel. Come back to the surface. Come back....."

"To us."

"Instead of me coming back to you, why don't you.....come back with me?"

"Ariel, we're not going to live in your fantasy with..."

"Oops. That's my bell. Gotta go. Always running, always praying, always believing.

Bye."

"Uhhhh.......Bye?"

"It's a shame that she can't see reality."

"But now...…..only darkness."

"Still feel guilty for what we did?"

"She's gotta learn. She's gotta get those thoughts out of her head."

"Just glad it's her on a pedestal and not me."

"Or me."

"Or me."

"Uhh…uuuuh. You would never find my daydreaming; fantasizing about my Knight. But if I were, I would be…."

"We know.....who'd you fantasize about. You always talk about him."

"Well, sorry if my fantasies bore you. I'll stop then."

"Good, but I don't think Ariel's fantasies bore her...at.....all."

"But she can't keep forcing them on people. That....that..."

"Don't worry. Soon, she'll have no one to bear it on, but herself."

"In....Thre...….Two….."

*Knock, knock, knock*

"Sorry I am late, Mr. Green. I was just…"

*Snatch*

"Aaaaghhh…..aaagghhh…aaahhmmmmmmmmmmmm."

"Busy owning up to your actions?

Come on, Girls. Don't we have somewhere else.....we need to be?"
