Chapter 3: The Earthquake
Her loud footsteps boomed across the halls and echoed and echoed in the silence. Her outburst had not only surprised her, but the rest of the school as well, leaving them in an eerie and unbearable quiet state. Blossom felt embarrassed, knowing that this sort of "bad girl" reputation was going to stick, and that word would go out fast.
And her killer intuition was correct as always, as she ran down the empty hall seeing whispering students point and snicker at her. Her pink eyes fumed with anger and she continued walking down the halls, until she met the door of the library.
She pushed the door open, as every eye was set on her, as the annoying and ridiculous rumors ran through once again. She lowered her head, and walked into the reference section zooming through any type of book that would give her an advantage over Brick on the exam.
Of course, you're thinking to yourself, Blossom's smart, she wouldn't need to study, right? Well, Blossom was extremely worried about making the bet and him actually accepting it. She knew her intelligence excelled over many, but the school was ranked one of the top ten in the country, and she knew with the other one thousand students studying here, that this was going to be a challenge and she'll need all the help she can get.
Blossom's life is going to be a rollercoaster from here on out. Because if Blossom won't do it, who will?
She sighed as she blew a single strand of hair that laid on her face.
Can my life get any worse? Blossom thought to herself.
Challenge Accepted.
Blossom's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Wait...wha-" she began to say, until her sisters came rushing thought the door, beads of sweat on their foreheads and panting like wild animals.
"BLOSSOM!" They screamed in sync, pointing at their sister who seemed to be slowly walking away.
"Shhhh!" The librarian muttered with her finger to her lips, glaring at the girls.
After apologizing to the librarian, they ran over to their sister, and dragged her in an empty reading section.
Buttercup looked both ways before punching Blossom in the arm. Blossom squealed in pain, as she rubbed her arm pouting.
"Are you stupid? Why would you mess with Brick, do you know what's going to happen now?" Buttercup said flailing her arms for exaggeration as her emerald eyes scanned over her red-headed sister.
Bubbles grabbed both Blossom's shoulders and stared into her eyes. "Blossom, you're in trouble. You've not only made an enemy of Brick, but the entire Special A class."
Blossom's eyes widened in surprise, as she shaked her head, laughing awkwardly. Her laughing dyed down quickly as she stared at her sisters who were unfazed and docile. Blossom quickly realized this, as her mind began to spin and her head beginning to pulse.
"What do you mean? I just bet him, I didn't declare war on the entire SA class. Isn't this just some other rumor?"
Bubbles and Buttercup both stared at each other before responding.
"That's what we thought at first too. When we were looking for you, we heard some people of the SA class talking on how they were going to take down the F class, and we also heard Mitch and his friends speaking on how this was going to be revolutionary and that we can finally have a reason to fight back to the populars." Buttercup spoke.
Blossom was astonished and her level of stress zoomed up sky high. She couldn't believe her ears, or rather, didn't want to believe them. She was stressed and worried enough as it is, she didn't need the entire F class's expectations for her weighing her down when testing began.
"In a way, you did declare war, and now you have us and the entire F class ready to support you. You've started something and people are finally speaking up. So don't push yourself into a corner, okay?" Bubbles said hugging Blossom from behind.
Bubbles words touched Blossom, and gave her a slight glimpse of hope. Buttercup smirked and punched her fist into the air.
"Let's get ready to take down that snobby SA class once and for all!"
"YEAH!" they screamed together in unison, and once again apologizing to the angry librarian for their loud voices, as they snickered out of the library they were now banned from.
Final Bell Rings...
Blossom stealthy made it to her locker, grabbed her books, and turned around to only meet face to face to the boy who rejected her just hours ago.
"Hello, Pinky." He said smirking at Blossom, who seemed to not be the littlest amused.
"What do you want, Brick? I don't have any time to waste on you, so make this fast." She said narrowing her eyes at him and crossing her arms against her chest.
"Don't think so highly of yourself, Pinky. I was just wondering if you wanted to back out of this bet when you had the chance. You wouldn't want to drag down the entire F class to where you're going, right?" he said laughing and inching closer to her face, pushing her against her own locker.
Blossom didn't dare to look into his eyes, and turned her head away, her eyes fuming with rage. Her hands were clenched by her sides, and her red hair seemed to go in flames. She grabbed the collar of his neck and forcefully pulled him down to meet her gaze, catching the attention of bystanders in the hall.
"Like I said before, I'm not going to have a problem beating the likes of you. Don't dare look down on me just because I'm in a lowered level class. You better enjoy this while you can, because soon, that so called pride of yours, won't longer exist." She said pushing him and exiting the hallway as she felt his stare long after her until she was no longer in sight.
She ran outside, to see her sisters and Mitch waving at her. She gladly ran to them as they began the walk to her house.
"Blossom, are you okay?" Mitch asked, looking down at her as his brown eyes had a look of worry in them.
"I'm fine, just had a rough day." She said sighing, grabbing a better hold of her backpack before smiling at him making his worries melt in a mere two seconds.
"Don't worry, it'll get better!" Bubbles giggled, and right as she did, the ground began to shake as the streetlights began to tumble back and forth uncontrollably. They all looked each other in the eyes as they held each other's hands to try to get better grip.
They heard in the distance car alarms going off, as they saw dozens upon dozens of people run out of their homes and unto the streets.
"What's happening?" Buttercup screamed as she heard sounds of tumbling items. The houses and trees were looking like they were going to explode, and that scared them all.
But as quickly as it came, it stopped.
"What was that?" Mitch asked as he saw all the people outside look inside their homes for any broken items.
"An earthquake…" Blossom said looking at her sisters in realization. "DAD!" they screamed as they dropped their backpacks and ran down to their house. When the house came to view, all the saw was a cloud of smoke, and the house in pieces. There was nothing left but ruins and dirt.
The Professor was outside, holding his newest invention in hand as he spotted the girls running towards him.
"Dad, are you alright?" Blossom screamed as she and her sisters pulled The Professor into a big bear hug.
"Girls! I'm fine, but the house…" he said, pointing to their once renovated home.
Though Blossom hated the crummy house, it brought tears to her eyes to see it like this. She got out of the hug, as she sank to the ground and began to sob. Her day had been the worst one in history, and this time, she wasn't exaggerating.
Though, a greater force, was now in control and her fate was now going to change for the better…
At least we hope.
