What You Want- Holly

chapter summary- I think that this is how holly felt when she was in the LEP acadamy. You know, when she was trying to get into LEPrecon when it was all male.

Because of the sim-lights in Haven City, it appeared to be a bright, sunny, yet cloudy, day. It was almost noon, and the fairies of the LEPacadamy School were outside for lunch. The courtyard in which they were having lunch was in the very back of the school. The flag-stone pavement and large, dark gray wall surrounding the courtyard made it seem extremely dull. But behind the stone wall was a full-scale veiw of Police Plaza.

The LEP were frequently seen escorting Haven fairies in and out of the building. If you looked next to the building, you could see a goblin and a dwarf in a very gross and ugly fight with several of the LEP officers trying to break them up. There were officers trying to hurry back into their office after their lunch break. To a certain Holly Short up in a tree planted in the middle of the courtyard, it looked like paradise.

Holly had finished her lunch a few minutes before, and had taken her time to climb up in the tree, and sit in the highest, thickest branch it could offer.

Just as Holly was getting ready to get out of the tree, Bark Stooge came up to the tree. Bark Stooge was a large, muscular elf with a buzz cut hairdo. Almost every girl in Haven city loved him. The guys would always want to hang out with him. Even the teachers let him by with stuff- if he laid his charm on them. But Holly knew who he really was. A self-conceited jerk who cared about nobody but himself.

He held himself up high as he stared into Holly's face and said, " Why hello there, little missy. Do you want me to help you down?"

Holly grabbed onto the branch that she sat upon and prepared to lower herself down. " No. I'm good." She said as she looked down at Bark. She noticed that his face was turning a very unhealthy shade of red.

Bark shook his head. " Oh, no. I think you need help." And with that he jumped up and grabbed the branch that Holly was sitting on. There was a large crack and the tree branch fell, Holly with it. Luckily, she had already been through enough training to land on her feet without getting herself hurt or injured in anyway. She looked over at Bark, who was standing there with a smug look on his face. " See, I told you that you needed help."

Unfortuneatley for Bark, Holly's anger had reached it's breaking point, which resulted in Holly bringing her hand back and punching him straight into his smug face. Sadly, she did this just as Wing Commander Vinyaya was calling them all back inside. She saw Holly punch Bark, and immediately came up to them.

"What do you two think your doing?" Wing Commander Vinyaya asked. By this time everyone in the courtyard was ignoring Wing Commander Vinyaya's instructions to go back inside.

Of course, Bark went into full-out charm mode as he said, " Well, you see here Ms. Vinyaya, I was mearly trying to help this girl out of the tree. I succeeded,but after I did she punched me in the face!"

" You broke the branch that I was sitting on! How is that helping?" Holly said angrily.

Vinyaya, who had been standing there calmly said, "Alright you two. That's both will have detention for exactly two weeks. You two will come here after school and clean underneath the desks in all the classes."

Holly smiled as she looked over at Bark, who was standing there, looking shocked. Vinyaya was perhaps one of the only teachers in the building who could withstand his charm. " But I didn't do anything!"

" Well from Ms. Short's account of the events, you did do something." And with that Wing Commander Vinyaya walked away.

Bark turned to Holly. " This is all your fault."

Holly crossed her arms over her chest. "Oh? And just how is it my fault?"

" I don't know. It just is, OK?" Bark said furiously.

Suddenly Bark looked Holly up and down and asked, " What do you even want to be in the LEP?"

" LEPrecon." Holly said defiantly.

" Yeah, right." Bark said as he walked away, heading toward his next class. Holly followed him, scowling.

No matter what you think, she thought to herself as she walked across the courtyard, no matter what you believe, I will get into LEPrecon. I'll make sure that I do.
