CHAPTER 7: THE INITIATION CONTINUES…
Lucy had arrived at the Serpents hideout not too long afterwards. She was looking a little crabby, and the other girls took notice.
"Everything all right, darling?" asked Cobra.
"Yeah," said Lucy. "Just had a run-in with the girl who's even angrier with me about the Homecoming thing."
"That Spearmint Sarah girl?" asked Rattler.
"It's Peppermint Patty," corrected Lucy. "But yeah it was her. She actually tried to throw me out of Ace's Ice Cream Shop, like she owned the place! Charlie Brown was there, too, but he didn't say anything to me."
"Maybe we should have a little chat with Miss Wintergreen Wendy!" sneered Rattler.
"Forget it," said Lucy. "It's not worth it, anyway. I was just wondering if you guys know about our egging houses making the news."
"Are you kidding?" said Python. "It's been the talk of the city! I've been hearing from some of the other kids about the houses getting egged or TP'd."
"Which is why we're laying low for now until the heat dies down," added Cobra. "Plus we can go over your next test in your initiation, Lucy."
"What's next, chief?" asked Lucy.
"We will be heading to Rattler's school and doing some 'interior decorating'." Rattler giggled with evil glee when Cobra said that. "We will be counting on your help, if you get our meaning?"
"I think I do," said Lucy with an evil grin. She started taking a liking to this new lifestyle and was ready for whatever the Serpent Sisters dished out.
"Good," Cobra finished. "We will not do this right away. We will wait until the buzz about the egging's die down. But as we are waiting, Rattler, you will grab a map of the school's layout. Then we can plan everything while we are laying low."
Lucy and the Serpent Sisters started discussing the upcoming vandalizing of Rattler's school. She was feeling on top of the world now and her new friends made her feel welcomed.
