Summary: "What are you doing here?" Jareth's smirked widened, his voice filled with amusement. "Curiosity killed the cat Sarah," he frowned slightly "but the cat vowed revenge."

(Edited) A/N: I am so sorry for the grammar and spelling mistakes my computer is so messed up, my word program has a problem with spell check and automatically changes to words to something else…it's really stupid. Next chapter should be coming out when I get my lazy ass in gear. If there are still mistakes then keep that knowledge to your self, thanks.
Curiosity Killed The Cat
Thy fortunes foe
There were no words to describe how angry Sarah felt, running down the scattered narrow hallway
What the hell does he think he's doing just popping back into my life like that? Not to mention he just had to scare me to a near death. Bastard.
Sarah rounded a particular sharp corner and promptly ran right into an open locker door. Bursts of stars suddenly over flowed her vision as she fell hard to the ground, landing on her posterior.
A quaint giggle was heard from above Sarah, as she looked up still seeing stars dance mockingly across her line of sight making it hard to see the shrouded figure looming above her. As Sarah's finally recovered from her space trip, her eyes met the knowing female figure of one of her most dearly and trust worthy friends. Sage Collins.
Sage cast a bemused smile down at Sarah, as she extended one of her lengthy arms towards her perplexed looking friend to assist Sarah in helping her from her star stricken fall.
"Are you all right, Sarah? That was quite a run in with my locker you had there." Sage said as she looked straight ahead at Sarah, watching her as she dusted off her dark blue jeans.
"Oh you know those locker doors they just materialize out of no where," Sarah said "no big deal."
"Sure they do Sarah, sure they do."
Sarah cast her friend a withered look.
Having ticked off ones drama teacher only to have Jareth suddenly appear before ones eyes on their drama room stage and then running like mad out the doors in terror from the uninvited appearance only to turn a sharp corner and meet a locker doors hard metal surface was not how Sarah wanted to spend her day. So forgive me if I'm a little irritable today.
"No seriously Sarah, What are you doing running into my locker door like that? Don't you know it's not safe to run through the halls?" Sage said with concern lacing its way in her voice. Good old sage, always living by the rules, she doesn't even have a single rebel bone in her body. No really she doesn't.
"Sure I know the rules Sage, I mean I have a rule book for a best friend what more could I possibly not know about rules and how they are to be respected and obeyed at all times."
"Ha, ha listen to me as I burst forth gut wrenching chuckles" She said, sarcasm dripping from every cavern of her mouth.
Sarah just stood silent, her feet planted firmly in place glancing at her friend with distant eyes.
"Something wrong, Sarah?"
Sarah still stared off in the distance; seemingly she had not heard the other girls comment.
"Sarah?"
Silence.
"Sarah?"
More silence.
"Sarah!"
Crickets chirp.
"Sarah Williams snap out of it right this instance! Don't make me sing, because I will!"
Silence.
"The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spo-"
No! All right, I'm out of it ok? Just stop singing!"
"Are you going to talk or should I bring out 'Row Row, Row your bout'?"
"Fine I'll talk but it's really none of your business." Sarah said with irritation evident in her voice. Plus, you would never believe me.
Sage looked taken aback by her harsh comment, all she wanted to do was assist her friend out of her troubling stupor. "I do not mean to be rude Sarah, I was merely trying to help a friends with her troublesome problems, but if you'd rather have no need for assistance then I'd better be on my way. I'm going to be late for my next class." Sage then turned around and returned to her scrimmaging through her locker for various books and whatnots she would need for her up coming classes.
Sarah, knowing that Sage did not have any upcoming classes since she had attended Sarah's previously 'disturbed' class, only to have left before Sarah. Inevitably missing the unannounced Jareth appearance. Lucky.
"I'm sorry Sage. I'm not angry with you it's just that Mr. White really got to me today." Sarah said trying fruitlessly to find an excuse as to why she was so upset at the moment. Yeah that's it; it was all Mr. Whites fault! You're a guineas Sarah, a pure guineas!
Sage cast a skeptical glance at Sarah as if she didn't quite believe her story and said, "Alright Sarah if that's really what is bothering you then I believe you."
Ha! You said lying was a sinful thing and should never be uttered, Well when it comes to something like reviling that I went a fairytale place when I was sixteen to save my baby brother, that I foolishly wished away, from an sinister yet handsome looking Goblin King, lying is second nature.
Sarah mentally slapped herself. What was going on today?
Wait! Did I just say handsome? Ok Sarah deep breath, you do not think that Jareth is handsome in anyway shape or form. Yeah if I just keep repeating that little mantra then I should be fine. Jareth is not handsome. Jareth is not han-.
Sarah was pulled from her repeating meditation with a jolt, when a load and clear voice came booming over the school intercom.
"Would Sarah Williams please report to the Deans office? NOW!"
Great. Just fantastic!
"I see Mr. White didn't waste time in getting your little outburst to the principals ears" Sage said from where she had moved from her now closed locker door to stand along side Sarah, her hand resting lightly on her friends shoulder in sympathy.
Sarah look at her friend with glistening eyes, clearly Sarah was having trouble coping with all the drama that decided the grace her with its ugly face. "This is getting ridicules, why cat that old fart just take a joke? I mean come one he insults my acting skills and he expects me take that lying down. I don't think so! You know how I feel about acting, Sage. It's my life."
"I know that Sarah, but everyone knows that Mr. White has a problem with anyone who even has the slightest bit of imagination, and well…you practically radiate it. It's only natural that he patronizes you, and you alone."
Sage had a point, and to Sarah's misfortune she was also very right. "But why me? Just because I have a substantial amount of creativity does not mean Mr. White can make crude remarks about an activity that means more then living." Sarah said, moving to lean her back against the rows of lockers.
"It's alright Sarah no one is blaming you, you were blessed with the wonderful gift of imagination and creativity. I know many people who would kill to have those quirks about them, Sarah, you're a very lucky girl." Sage said solemnly, her had still resting feather light on Sarah's shoulder.
"Thanks Sage, you're a very good motivational speaker, did you know that?" Sarah said, a smile gracing her lovely features for the first time since she left the drama room.
"Really? Well in that case I hate to motivate this idea, but aren't you being expected at the Deans office as soon as possible?"
Sarah cast Sage a deadpan look and turned around to face the frigidly cold exterior of Sage's locker.
Thud.
And promptly hit her head against the surface as a way of answering Sages question.
"Now, now Sarah no need to bring more misery to the day, even though I don't think it could be any worse" Sage said as she grabbed Sarah by the shoulders and turned her around so she would not bring anymore assault to her poor abused noggin.
"Not the warm fuzzy sympathy talk I was looking for, but brownie points are rewarded for a nice try." Sarah said with a frown marring her face.
Sage fixed Sarah with a bright smile that could have out shone the sun. "We will have none of that missy. Now back straight, arms at your sides, and smile!" Sage put her index finger on either side of Sarah's mouth and pulled up, creating a goofy look considering Sarah's stubborn resistances. After Sage let go, Sarah's mouth fell from the ridiculous smile and slid right back into a frown.
"Not the look I was going for but it will have to do" Sage then started to lead Sarah away from the lockers and down the opposite hall towards the Deans office. "Now off to the Deans office we go!"
And with that Sarah and Sage were on there way, all the while Sage singing 'we're off to see The Wizard' but replaced 'The Wizard' with 'The Dean'.
Sarah groaned.
Thy Fortunes Foe, I truly am Thy Fortunes Foe.
