Chapter ten

Charlie walked down the corridor, silently fuming that it was Monday. Yet again.

"Oi Charlie!"

Everyone in the corridor looked on in shock, as Amber yelled down the corridor, she then proceeded to push through the crowd. When she reached him she was puffing, pale and had long royal blue hair tied up in a high ponytail, her eyes matching, she opened her mouth to speak when a hand clamped down on her broad shoulder.

"Kuragina. What do you think your doing?"

Amber grew several inches until she was taller than Manfred.

"Talking."
"You must be silent in this corridor. No excepts."

"No exceptions my ass," Came a familiar voice. "What are you doing now Manfred? Your talking. Your breaking as rule so to enforce this ridiculous rule you have to break it." Leah became visible. "Have fun searching the school for me all weekend?"

Manfred glared at her.

"Nice to see you Leah."

"Pity I can't say the same for you."

Manfred rolled his eyes and pretended to ignore the crowds of people staring at him as he strode down the corridor.

"Wow...Is this-" Amber began when Leah cut her off.

"I'm Leah. Just Leah. Nice to meet you, now continue with your conversation..." She winked at Charlie then vanished. Amber's jaw dropped, but she continued, as nothing stopped her from talking.

"Charlie, what do you know about Tancred's sexuality..."

Charlie waited until they were in the Music Cloakroom before exclaiming.

"Excuse me?"

Amber looked at him.

"You know...Does he like boys or girls?"

"Girls!"

"Oh shit."
Charlie stared at her.

"What the hell is wrong with you!"

Amber wrung her hands.

"I mean Tancred's smart, cute and funny, but I thought he was...You know...That way inclined..."

"You're kidding aren't you?"

Amber shook her head vigorously,

"No, I'm not!" She then threw her hands in the air and ran out of the corridor, shrinking until she was relatively short.

Charlie sat waiting for Mr. Pilgrim for his music lesson, Mr. Pilgrim appeared to be running late and Charlie hoped he would miss his lesson.

"Charlie, you won't be having your music lesson from Pilgrim today," Charlie looked up, leaning on the door frame Leah stood. "He's having some difficulty in the bathroom, so I will be teaching you today."

Charlie stared at her.

"What kind of difficulty?"

"Laxatives. Anyway we begin."

Leah sat down at the grand piano, with a contempt face she shuffled the music papers and began to play, Charlie was amazed that even though she had been banished she had managed to learn to play the piano so well. It seemed almost second nature as she played and too soon her piece was finished and left Charlie wishing her to continue.

"Wow..." He breathed.

"Eh, I'm rusty," She shrugged, "Anyway, I still have no idea what I'm going to do for revenge. I mean I have to do something, no one gets away with disowning me, any ideas?"

Charlie looked thoughtful.

"I have no idea, sorry but I'll think about it."

"Thanks."

They sat in silence, until Charlie broke it.

"You know my friend Tancred?"

Leah nodded,

"Yes..."

"Does he seem gay to you?"

XXXX

Amber pulled at the grass as Lysander and Tancred talked about...Stuff...Suddenly realizing she had actually shut-up for once they both looked at her worriedly.

"You okay Amber?"

Amber looked up.

"Uhh...Sure."

Both boys weren't convinced but decided to drop it.

XXXX

"What's happening lil sis..."

Erin who was slowly sketching a picture of the flower she was studying, jumped.

"Nothing much, you?"

Amber sunk into the chair next to Erin.

"Guy trouble."

"Surprise, surprise...Tancred?"

Amber almost fell off her chair.

"How did you know?"

"Psychic."

"That's not funny."

Erin shrugged.

"Who said I was being funny."

Both girls sighed,

"Sorry," they both apologized, then laughed.

"Guy trouble too?" Amber asked.

"Yea..."

"Charlie?"

"I guess I'm not the only psychic one."

"Nah, saw it in the room."

"Well if you were in the room, how come you didn't figure out Tancred liked you sooner?"

"I didn't even look at his leaf, I thought he was gay."

Erin's pencil froze above her paper, she then turned and faced her sister.

"What?"

"Yea, yea I know. I'm wrong."

Erin shook her head.

"You have got to stop questioning nice guys' sexuality."

"I've never done it before!" Amber looked offended.

Erin gave her a look.

"Our neighbor, Dave."

"He played with dolls."

"He was four."

"He's a had the voice."

"His voice was breaking."

"But-"

"Don't you think that's being a little unreasonable. That's why he never liked you."

"Eh, but this is totally different to Tancred."
"Of course it is...So...Do you like him?"

Amber thought.

"Yea, I guess."

"Well go for it."

Amber wrinkled her nose.

"You think that's a good idea?"

"Uhh...You think I would have said it if I didn't think so?"

Amber smiled.

"Good point. Now. You and Charlie."

"What about us?"

"I see chemistry."

Erin blushed.

"We're just friends."

Amber tapped her nose,

"Oh I know and see all, and I can tell he likes you in the same way..." she said, getting up.

"Just like with Tancred?"

Amber had left.

XXXX

"I have it!"

"What?" Asa asked.

"I know exactly what I'm going to do next. It's not really a harmful form of revenge, nor is it going to make them regret what they did, but it'll piss them off!" Leah jumped up, kissed Asa and was out of the sight before Asa could ask anything.

The next morning Bloor's Academy awoke to a thoroughly toilet papered school. And no toilet paper in any bathroom.

Beta Note

Lemo: OMG YAY! cackles
Faithful readers of Ambo! (the author) Lend me your ears…erm…Eyes. Well, I'm Leah, (or Lemo, the beta) and me and Ambo (or Amber, the author) are having an argument about grammer, and how much people suck at it. For instance, I think that when a person's about to talk, there should be a full stop at the end of the sentace before it.

Eg:

Leah nodded.

"Yes..."

Amber thinks it should be a commar.

Eg:

Leah nodded,

"Yes..."

Faithful readers! Which one is it, DAMNIT!
