A TALE OF TWO PROFESSORS
CHAPTER 12
FLAME
Flame: I got rejected on an offer. Someone didn't want to join my club. Oh well. This one is kinda sad, but I don't think it's a tearjerker. It might be for some people. On with the fic.
"Are you sure you don't want to come back?" Kassie asked for the zillionth time that day. "It'll be so boring without you!"
Ryoko shook her head as she held Ele. "No, I can't leave Sev and Kita with a good screamer can I?"
Kassie thought about this. "Actually, you can. All you do is pack, and leave in the middle of the night before Ele screams to eat."
"Stop it, just go already. It's sad enough without you hanging around." Kita stated as she hugged her best bud.
Just as she was about to depart, Kassie turned to Ryoko. "Listen, I'm sorry for what I've ever done to you, and maybe we can talk sometime soon. And what I did a couple weeks ago, it was only a joke. I had been planning on it all year because I'm always the butt of the jokes you guys do. I just wanted to prove I could play a joke too. I didn't know it would end like this. Maybe, you could give me a second chance. I really want to stay friends."
A few tears leaked out of Ryoko's eyes. "Yah, maybe. I think I can give you one more chance. But don't do something like that again. It really freaked me."
Snape cut in. "Kassandra, you need to go. You're going to be late."
"All right." Kassie whined.
After another round of hugs, more apologies on Kassie's part to Ryoko, a kiss on the cheek for both Snape and Ele, and a bunch of tears, Kassie walked off down the road, dragging her trunk behind her. Her cloak swished for a while, mingling with the jingling of her jewelry, until she was out of earshot. But all of them watched until she could no longer be seen.
Ryoko looked down at Ele. "There goes your godmother. Maybe you'll see her again, maybe not. But you'll see pictures and hear stories."
And Ele cried out at seeing one of the big people go.
Flame: The apology part is a hint to a certain someone. And Kassie as me, Ryoko as the other person. Please give me a chance to explain things fully. Review or e-mail me saying whether or no you'll listen to me. And for the rest of you, R&R. Later. Oh, yah, did anyone cry? I suck at short good-byes.
