The fate I will never accept

Chapter 7

Ugh day 2 at school. How did I ever do this when I was little? Than again I don't remember much of me doing school so I guess it is for the best. But I would still call magical high school a new experience. I put on my newly tailored uniform and I was about to grab my bag but then I saw the ribbon I was given yesterday, and without thinking I picked it up and tied it around my hair. I took one last look in the mirror for reassurance that today would be better than yesterday, then grabbed my bag and threw it over my shoulder. I heard a distinct "Have a good day!" as I left but it didn't mean much to mean seeing as I am doomed to have another bad day at this school.

It couldn't be all bad right? I walked all the way up to the doors again and I was working up the courage to open the door again until I heard a voice shouting my name. I turned around to see a limousines parked in front of a blue sparkling carriage. And the person yelling my name at the top of her lungs was none other than Bubbles; princess of the water fairies running in my direction. Also my first ever friend.

"Blossom! Blossom do you remember me?" She said screaming and running/ flying my direction and how could I forget. I mean literally my photographic memory doesn't forget much.

"Hello Bubbles, and who could forget you?" I heard a slight answer under her breathe but I felt bad about it so I won't write it down.

"Are you excited about your second day?!"

"Kind of." Not, kind of not ready for my second day.

"Awe, why kind of? That isn't a very cheery answer. Maybe you're nervous! Are you nervous?"

"A little and because yesterday wasn't the best first day ever."

"Aren't they always like that though. But it's ok today should be better than ever! I mean we are friends. And your uniform fits today so that is surely a good sign."

"Thanks Bubbles but I got it tailored yesterday, those were my plans after school." I said as we walked in together. And just then I heard a familiar voice behind us.

"Are you going to move faster, some of us don't have all day." Me and Bubbles turned around and got rudely shoved aside by an entourage, Princess's entourage to be specific.

"I can't believe this! Someone in this school actually likes you, pathetic human. And she is a royal! Talk about unexpected. Bubbles I am disappointed, I thought you were one of us." She said in a mocking voice.

" Who said I was, and what is wrong with Blossom? She is waaaayyy nicer than you'll ever be Princess. And smarter."

"But the only reason she is here is because we needed a boost on our academic teams, if we didn't she probably wouldn't even be here right now. Isn't that right?" By then the whole school it felt like had surrounded us and was watching intently. I felt eyes of every kind staring at me and judging me. It felt horrible. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I suppressed them as much as I could until I got the courage to talk back. But by then Bubbles had already gotten started.

" And so what? I am pretty sure she would be because from what I have heard no one in this school rivals her intelligence not even you, the so called Captain of the debate team who has taken dead last in every tournament ever." the crowd around us made one of those big "ohh" sounds because everyone felt the burn, or the burden of a human beating a magical. Part of my laughed inside and it gave me more courage. That and seeing Princess's face was priceless.

"I don't think we should be debating this here. This is not the time or the place to deal with this matter. And according to me, I am here to further my education in one of the highest privileged schools in the world. And whether I am here on a scholarship or not, is none of your business." I heard silence and shock but Bubbles started clapping although she was the only one. She was about to stop but than I heard another pair and these claps were louder and sharper and getting closer. I turned around to see Henry, although in this sense Principal Scanderic.

"I believe that applause is in order although I am not alone in this, thank you Miss Bubbles. However I do believe that this show of wills is over, now to class everyone."

I lowered my head in disappointment, I was so ashamed of myself. I had no right to say that, at least I thought I didn't. I looked over to see that Bubbles was ashamed too. Her beautiful blue wings were lowered and so was her head. Princess was proud of what she had said and apparently thought she was innocent.

"Well that was an interesting display of opinions girls."

"Principal Scanderic, you simply must do something about these rude girls." She started tearing up although me and Bubbles both knew it was fake.

"Are you sure about that Miss Morbucks?"

"Positively."

"Well then I guess I have no choice, Blossom and Bubbles I -" he was stopped and more or less interrupted by someone.

"Leave them be Princess started it." Me and Bubbles raised our heads to look at our supposed savior. It was an elf. She had pointy ears with many earings, and messy black hair. Her uniform which would normally be a blue and white sailor top with a checkered blue and white skirt had green scuffs all over it. And her school issued shoes were exchanged for pointed wooden elf shoes. Her eyes were an amazing green and I swear she could have killed with them.

"Buttercup, why aren't you in class? I specifically remember sending the rest of the student body to class. And if you have another opinion on the matter I would love to hear it." He said, his voice echoing throughout the halls.

"I saw the whole thing and they did nothing wrong but defend themselves."

"Do you say now and what was it you said Princess?" He asked.

"I would hardly agree, they, they were purposely blocking the doors in order to spite me."

"If they wanted to spite you I doubt the would block the doors Princess." Scanderic stated and it was totally true everyone knows the best way to spite someone is to not acknowledge their presence.

"They were actually talking and walking casually to class when Princess walks behind them and has her entourage move them out of her way."

"Girls is this true?" He asked and me and Bubbles both nodded our heads. Princess on the other hand protested.

"Than what happened?"he asked.

"Then she started bombarding them with rude comments."

"Well that certainly is interesting. Thank you Buttercup, I believe I have made my decision." He turned towards us.

"Finally, you must kick her out." Princess exclaimed.

"Kick who out?"

"Blessy or whatever her name is."

"I don't believe that is in order Princess and since you are all so buddy buddy, then I believe that you won't mind cleaning the gymnasium together.

"What!" We all said in unison even Princess.

"Wow that's harsh, have fun everybody." Buttercup said and started leaving but was stopped by the Principal.

"Oh no, after all you gathered them together and spoke the truth, I believe that a true friendship shall appear don't you? He was giving her the punishment too, I feel bad for her, she was just trying to help us.

She rolled her eyes, and he clapped his hand as a sign for us to dismiss. Princess was whining then started talking about how she can get her maids to do it for her. I looked at Bubbles and we both had the same thought. We ran up to Buttercup who was storming away pretty fast might I add.

"Buttercup!" We both yelled trying to get her to stop. She turned at us and was pretty angry.

"Listen I didn't do it to help you, okay. I just wanted to clear the situation. I hate liars."

"Than I guess we are in the same boat." I said trying to get her to trust me. She gave us both a look.

"Listen I know both of you, the human and the fairy princess. And personally I don't care if you're fude was proof of your friendship. Okay." me and Bubbles both looked at each other than at her.

"Listen we all hate Princess Morbucks, and we all want to see her in the gym today right?" Bubbles asked. Me and Buttercup we equally confused. We exchanged looks of confusion and turned to Bubbles.

"We all know she is going to have her maids to the work but she has to come too." she said.

"What are you trying to say?" I asked

"Just get to the point already." Buttercup demanded.

"Okay, okay. What if we found a way to scare Princess out of her mind, in exchange for getting us all in trouble." I kind of like the idea however it could get us in even more trouble and I kind of feel like I disappointed Principal Scanderic. I'd hate to let him down even more than I already have.

"I like your style your highness." Buttercup said.

"Just call me Bubbles." She said trying to make it seem like she is on the same level as us. "So what do you say?"

"I'm in." BUttercup said.

"I don't know, I feel like I let the principal down." I said not realizing I said it until after.

"So what? That man has us all cleaning the gym. And you can even fly or use magic so it'll be even harder for you right?" Buttercup said and The funny thing is I have gotten used to being human here, even though it's only been a day, it doesn't affect me as much.

"Yeah that isn't fair to you Blossom." Bubbles agreed, I was about to talk when I heard footsteps coming closer behind me. Buttercup rolled her eyes again and I could tell from Bubbles' embarrassed expression that is was the Principal.

"I understand that you girls are troubled about your punishment but I assure you that Blossom will be fine." He put his hand on my shoulder as if speaking for me was going to change anything.

"But she can't fly or use magic at all. What would she do?" Bubbles asked but I already knew the answer. I had known it all my life.

"Oh don't worry Bubbles I have something in mind." His answer confused me. I thought I would just be cleaning by hand, like I always do at the orphanage. He turned me towards him then bent down his knees so look me in the eye.

"You didn't let me down Blossom, I know it wasn't your fault. And I must say, you defended yourself well. I trust that you know what to do from here Blossom." He stood up and started walking away and somehow that made me feel worse. Like his expectations are way too high for me. I turned back to my friends and kind of gave them a look of "I don't really know what to do after that." And apparently they understood because they exchanged looks of understanding.

"So what now?" Bubbles asked.

"I say we still scare her." Buttercup suggested. I thought about it for a bit.

"Wait what if we don't scare her but teach her a lesson instead?" I asked.

"What kind of a lesson?" Bubbles asked with the cutest confused look on her face.

"How about a lesson to keep her opinions to herself."

"I like it, although it'll be a little less fun than scaring the crap out of her." Buttercup said and me and Bubbles started cracking up. Then we all exchanged looks of excitement and fun.

"But how would we do that?" Bubbles asked which was a great question however I think me and Buttercup already knew because she gave me a look that said "I can't wait to do this." and I agreed with her for the first time this morning.

"Easy" I said. "Blackmail, is the cheater's guide to fortune."

"I don't get it and what's blackmail, do we have to order it because I'm not sure we have time for that." Me and Buttercup laughed at how cute and naive she was. Buttercup explained it to her. Bubbles' expression was priceless. It just occurred to me that we are skipping class right now, which I probably should not be doing.

" I hate to interrupt but don't we have class?" They both stopped and started hurrying down the hallway. I caught up with them so we could plan while we talked. And we all decided to meet up during lunch so better talk this out.

I walked into calculus and everyone stared but got their attention quickly back to the front of the room. She nodded at me and I sat down in my seat at the back. After her lesson was over she went to me and handed me a worksheet that they had done while I was technically skipping.

"Do you need help with these? They are quite complicated." She asked. I took one look at them, they were easy. I studied these in my free time.

"I think I'll be fine, and I am sorry that I was late."

"Don't worry about it, I know what happened although I was curious because Princess hasn't came back yet."

"She hasn't?"

"No I thought you would know."

"I'm sorry but I don't know why she hasn't come back, she could still be somewhere in the halls or she could be in the office complaining or something."

"That is what I assumed." She sighed then went back to her desk. I completed my worksheet in 2 minutes then waited for the bell to ring.

I went to my next class and it was as usual. Miss Carson lectured on about how love and literature joined hands in the romantic era, which I have already written a award winning paper about. And to my surprised although it wasn't really surprising, she was using it in her lessons. So i just sat back and smiled until she noticed I had wrote it. She laughed so hard at her mistake but she said I could use it for my essay about the topic due next week. Lucky for me that I don't have to write another one.

After this class is lunch. The lunches are divided by species, certain species go first , than another set, and a last set. Luckily for me, I can choose whatever lunch I want so I chose the one with fairies and elves for today at least.

The bell rang, and I swear I speedily walked to the lunch line, because I learned something from yesterday. Running down school halls will attract more attention to yourself. I heard running from behind me and someone grabbed my shoulders. By now I already knew it was Bubbles excited to form our plan. Buttercup was walking behind her.

"We have the same second period." She said as if she had to explain why she was walking with Bubbles. Which she didn't.

"Cool, I had first period with Princess but she didn't show."

"What?! Why would she do that?" Buttercup asked.

"I don't know," just then we saw Princess ahead in the line in front of us.

"She skipped?!" Bubbles exclaimed with more surprise than was necessary.

"So did we." Buttercup resented.

"Oh my gosh we did but we went back after a while, I wouldn't call that skipping."

"Wait, Bubbles, are you going to get in trouble from your parents?" I asked her realizing that I had made a royal late for class.

"Don't worry about it, I've already disgraced them little late won't do any harm." Me and Buttercup just looked at her stunned. I guess we both felt bad for her.

We got our lunch which was unfavorable even at a high class high school. It was toad stump and fish stew, which would have been fine if they hadn't used poisonous mushrooms! Although most magical creatures are immune to this poison however I am not. Seriously who uses a mushroom with the name "Death Cap"? So I pushed my tray in front of me and at first they were confused and then I think they remembered because they laughed awkwardly about it. Good think they also had strawberry yogurt and lasagna. Which are not my favorites but I would rather eat them than die.

I pulled out my notebook while the two of them were slurping down their stew. I wrote Plan in big letters at the top and did a cute curvy underline.

"So how do we blackmail Princess?" I asked to get started.

"We need dirt on her."

"What kind of dirt?" Bubbles asked and me and Buttercup both just breezed by the fact that she meant literal dirt.

"What about the fact that she skipped first period?"

"No too easy, plus everyone knows that. We need something that she doesn't want people to know." Buttercup said as Bubbles realized what we were talking about.

"But what would that be?" Bubbles asked.

"Maybe she has something against humans?" I said

"Like what?" Buttercup asked me.

"I don't know but it seems like she was trying to hide something this morning."

"What makes you think that?" Bubbles asked.

"She didn't respond to anything you or I said on the last comments."

"So what? She could have seen the principal or something." Buttercup said taking a huge bite of a fish head.

"I just don't think that is it."

"Like maybe there is something about her and humans she doesn't want us to know." Bubbles exclaimed.

"Yeah something like that."

"And how would we find something like that out?" Buttercup asked. Me and Bubbles just sat and thought. She was right we couldn't just randomly stumble upon stuff like that.

"I might know." Bubbles said.

"How then?" Buttercup asked.

"The secret history of the Morbucks' books."

"They have a book for that?"

"Yes but it is located in a vault inside the mansion." Bubbles answered.

"Why would they even write something like that?" Asked Buttercup.

"Don't know but if it is in a vault it is worth trying. Although does anyone of you know how to break into a vault?" I think they can just use their magic though.

"Maybe, it's worth a try." said Buttercup.

"Let's do it then." stated Bubbles.

"But we are cleaning the gym today afterschool, how will we get it in time?" I asked.

"Let's just go during homeroom and be back before it ends." Buttercup said and me and Bubbles just looked at each other.

"We have to try at least."

"Okay let's meet up in the third hallway past and I will use my invisibility magic to get us out. Than we can go to her mansion and crack the vault. Easy." Bubbles said.

"But Blossom can't fly, we wouldn't get there in time." Buttercup answered.

"Unless we use some kind of magic, to transport us."

"Ooh I have been learning that spell, although whatever I do turns to mush."Bubbles said.

"I don't know about Blossom but I do not want to be mush."

"It's our only choice. Let's do it, and we can transport directly into the vault."I stated.

"Fine, but if I turn to mush that is on your conscience" Buttercup said pointing to Bubbles, and just then the end of lunch bell rang. We all went back to our classes with a hint of adventure in our minds.
