Author's Note: Wow…it has been a little over two years since I've updated. A lot has changed. For one, I was a sophomore when I was writing this story, and now I'm going to be a senior in high school. I have changed, I have grown…and during that time, I've obviously neglected my story. But today while I was inside due to 90 degree weather, I saw Truth or Cosmoquences on TV, and that got me inspired to finish this story that I'm writing. I've really missed writing it, and it would be a great summertime activity for me, since right now I'm catching up on schoolwork that I missed (long story).
Just to let you know, if anyone still reads this story, that my writing style has changed. I'm going to try to be consistent with my style, but don't be surprised to see if this chapter and beyond has a more mature writing style. I'm still going to add in the silliness that FOP has though. This chapter is going to be more serious and shorter than my other chapters though, as it's in preparation for a chapter that I found half written. I wrote it in my sophomore year, and I plan to use it to get back into my creative FOP-style writing that I have done before. I promise that after this chapter, things will definitely get more exciting. At the end you'll see what I mean.
I'd like to thank all that have reviewed my story. Wow—90 reviews? I can't thank you enough for all the support that you've given me. And whoever's reading this story right now—thank you so much. I'd love to finish this story by the end of this year, and I have tons of great ideas I'd like to share with my readers.
Alright, enough talking—now onto the adventures of Cosmo and Wanda's high school days!
-------------------------------------
XIII: The Big Breakup
It was the big day, the day that no one in Carl Poofy Pants High School would think would happen in a million years—it was the day that Wanda was going to break up with Wandissimo.
No one knew the current status of Wanda and Wandissimo's relationship. To the students at school, they seemed perfectly fine—they attended parties together, Wanda was there cheering on Wandissimo at his football games, and they were attached to the hip when they were together in school. Their lives were mixed with each other's, and they were each other's everything. If Wanda would break up with Wandissimo, they would have nothing.
Yet Wanda knew that she had to break up with him. She knew she didn't love him anymore—in fact, deep down she found him repulsive. And she wasn't sure what her feelings with other boys—namely, Cosmo—were. It was best for the both of them if their relationship ended. It wasn't any good for the both of them to be living a lie.
Wanda did have second thoughts about ending the relationship. If they were over, she'd be leaving her comfort zone, and what would she do with Cosmo? But she knew from the previous extremely emotional day that being together with him was doing her no good. She was sure it wasn't doing him any good, either.
It was time to do the deed.
She woke up the next day and made sure that she looked her best for school. She took extra time to curl her hair so that it was exactly perfect, and picked out one of her favorite outfits – yellow blouse with her favorite black jeans. She wanted to look her best so that she would show Wandissimo and the student body of Carl Poofy Pants High School that she didn't need Wandissimo to complete herself, and that she could move on without him.
Now the problem was how to break up with him.
She decided to do it subtly so that it would be less embarrassing for the both of them, and the news would then spread to the students. She knew that would sprout rumors, but she didn't care. She would let them think what they wanted to think, but she didn't want them to think that she was the bad one in the breakup. To break up with Wandissimo would be like selling your soul to the devil to many people at CPPHS.
When Wanda arrived at school, she expected to see the usual—people hanging out by the painted on doors before classes started, her clique that she used to hang out with by the window, Wandissimo waiting for her by her locker. But today was different. There were newscasters everywhere, helicopters flying above the school, and Jorgen Von Strangle was standing in front of the main doors of the school. She floated up to him. "Jorgen, what's going on?!" Wanda exclaimed.
"I need to know what the students are doing at this school," Jorgen explained. "There have been rumors of some students trying to sneak a fairy-obsessed teacher from the future into Fairyworld, and they are planning to use him to join the Pixies and take over Fairyworld! We need to be on our guard. SOMEONE SCRAMBLE THE FAIRIES!!"
Wanda looked to her left. "I see you've destroyed the bridge," she said. "There's not many humans on earth yet; I doubt that they can see the bridge."
"I LIKE to destroy the bridge!" Jorgen yelled.
Wanda backed away in fear and poofed in school. To her horror, there were reporters everywhere. Wandissimo was nowhere to be found.
A reporter floated up to her. "Hello, I'm Marvin!" He exclaimed, shoving a microphone into her ear. "I'm with the Fairyworld Teen Sensation channel, and today we are here to listen to you students tell us your deep and personal secrets, and to share what you've been wanting to tell the world to! Anything you'd like to say?"
"NO!" Wanda yelled, floating away. She flew to her locker as fast as she could, trying to look for Wandissimo to get him alone so she could break up with him. But when she got to her locker, she found him surrounded by reporters as he sung, flexed his muscles, and ripped off his shirt in front of who knew how many viewers.
"Wandissimo, I really need to talk to you," Wanda said, grabbing Wandissimo's arm.
"Wanda, mi amor, it's alright. Look world—here's the woman I love and hold dear to my heart! I love her!"
Wanda looked at the camera. "Uh…hi? I really need to be alone. Bye!" She flew off to the girls' bathroom, where thankfully no news reporters were, to think. She had to get him alone somewhere. Obviously the girls' restroom was not the place to break up with someone. She considered waiting until the next day, but then she told herself that she could not wait one more day to break up with him. She couldn't stand one more second with the label of being Wandissimo's girlfriend.
Then the bell rang to Wanda's relief. But then the announcements said, "All fairies report to the gym immediately for an assembly." Wanda sighed. This was going to be harder than she thought.
When she poofed to the gym, there were still reporters everywhere, and there was a big screen showing all the short clips that the reporters took of the students. There were students saying hi to their parents and friends, students playing football, and some students singing and dancing for the reporters.
Then the principal came in, and all the fairies silenced. He explained why the reporters where there, and to be on the lookout for some students plotting or a fairy-obsessed teacher from the future anywhere.
Then the principal said, "And now let's watch the clip of the day! This is Wanda and Wandissimo, the couple of the school!" The clip played, and when it was finished, the principal said, "And Wanda, what do you have to say to that?"
Wanda could feel beads of sweat falling down her forehead. She didn't want it to be this way, but this seemed to be the only way she could do the deed. She stood up and yelled, "I DON'T LOVE YOU!" The students gasped.
"I once did, but I don't anymore!" she continued. "And I'm sorry that I have to say it to possibly all of Fairyworld, but I don't care anymore. I'm sorry Wandissimo, but it's over."
Silence flooded the room. Then suddenly someone whispered, "Harsh." And students began to talk among themselves.
Wanda could feel everyone's angry glares pointed at her. She didn't know what to do, except poof home, hoping that the message hadn't gotten on TV. Unfortunately, it did. She could hear her message being said to all that received the local weather channel. Which wasn't all of Fairyworld, but still.
She was trapped. It was up to her to save herself.
(A/N: So…everyone hates her…or not. More will come and be more eventful! Reviews are greatly appreciated, thank you so much for reading!)
