Here's a new UBOS story for everyone to indulge themselves in. I like branching out to do different things and this was something I found really fun to toy with. Check it out and send me a review telling me what you thought.

Almost Forgot: I Don't Own UBOS

Cassy walked stealthily across the courtyard, trying not to make a sound. Though it was broad daylight, the fountain had too much of a booming voice and Cassy knew her friends were still looking for her. Creeping past the fountain, Cassy made a run across the grass to her favorite tree. It was the largest, oldest tree on campus and it's thick, leaf-filled branches were the perfect refuge a hiding witch. Though most would believe that with her chunky boots and gaudy dress Cassy couldn't climb a tree, in actuality, without using magic, she was still the nimblest witch in her generation. Climbing the tree easily, Cassy settled onto the most comfortable branch she could find and thought about what had just happened.

Cassy, Verne and Gus had been walking through the halls and the boys were talking about which girls to take to the next school dance, which wasn't for another two months. Cassy had rolled her eyes as Gus described the cutest elf in school.

Then, Gus had asked, "Hey Cass, who's your crush?"

Cassy had stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face him. "I don't like any of the guys in school." Well, it wasn't a lie; she didn't like any of the guys at school. Gus had taken a step closer until he was standing right in front of her.

"Come on, Cassy, who is he?" he had pleaded. "If he's ugly, we won't laugh. Well, Verne might, but I won't."

Cassy's lips had pulled back as she snarled at the half-elf. "I don't like any of the guys in school." She growled.

"Well I see why," a voice said behind them. "Who would want a stuck-up witch with a mean attitude and no true pride?"

The trio had turned to see Lucretia and Bortia strolling toward them. Cassy had shrunk back a bit at the mischief in Lucretia's eyes, but then what the black-haired girl had said shocked her. "What do you mean no true pride?" the blue-haired witch had demanded. "My pride is much better than your shame. At least my family helped save the world. Yours tried to help destroy it."

Bortia had growled and waved his wand, sending a curse right at Cassy's chest, but luckily Gus and Verne had whipped out their own wands and blocked it.

Lucretia had stalked forward until she was chest to chest with the green-eyed witch. "I'll get you back for those comments, Cassandra," she had hissed. "And your friends won't be there to save you then."

The twins strode out and left the three friends in the hallway. "Way to go, Cassy!" Verne had cheered.

"Yeah, you showed them." Gus added.

Cassy had sighed and begun walking away. "Cassy, where're you going?" She had heard footsteps behind her and took off running. "Cassy, wait!"

Cassy hadn't slowed nor stopped until she had reached the courtyard and by then, Gus and Verne had been too winded to keep up.

That's how she'd made it to her favorite tree and the blue-haired witch chuckled. "I didn't get this body from my super-high metabolism." Sighing, Cassy shook her head and thought of slightly happier times. As her mind traveled to the one she loved, Cassy heard someone calling her name. Burrowing further into the leaves, Cassy stayed perfectly still until the voices faded. She sighed and straightened before heading to her dorm room.

So, what do you make of it so far? Send me a review so I can find out.
