Stormy hated malls, the perky airheads, the "colorful" decor and the very stores made her sick to her stomach. This was no different, and she was glade that she doesn't truly know anyone on earth or else this would have been very, very embarrassing. Vanessa's chirpiness was cutting through her head like a knife, the colors were giving her a head and the stuff she normally wore is in an adult S&M shop (which she kept trying to sneak into but kept getting caught.) They arrived at a random store, Stormy wanted to punk as they went in.
And truth be told, so did Vanessa but they withstand it, Stormy knew her size quite well and grabbed whatever looked half way decent (in her view anyway). A selection that consisted mainly of purple and black, Vanessa didn't say anything as it was just barely better than what she's wearing right now.
Walking out Stormy try to hide behind the stack of boxes, Vanessa stopped for a second at the wishing well. As the older woman threw a penny into the well someone had been watching this unusual new girl, she wonder who is she and why was she with Bloom's mother.
And that's when she smelled something that would benefit her, Mitzi Toraco would relentlessly hunt it down and beat it like a dead horse.
Flora looked over at the empty bed than return to what homework she has, the workload has increased more and more with each passing day. There's sneaking suspicion that this has something to do with that debauchery called the day of the royals, while she can't really find it in herself to actually hold a grudge but looking around she noticed her plants were drooping a little more day by day from the cut in care.
Flora wanted to take care of them, but she didn't want to shame her family by failing. The work load was slit into two and it was taking it's toll on her psychically, mentally and spiritually and it showed. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were starting to form dark circles under them and her once dark skin was paling. She also noticed her closed were getting a little baggy, starting to hang onto her frame loosely.
Her friends were worried about her, Techna, Musa and Stella were coming around once in a while to check up on her. Techna had brought her dinner once and ordered her to eat, Flora was surprised but did what she said.
The door opened for a moment, Musa stepped in and shivered. Flora was staring at her through the use of the mirror, her eyes were blood shot and very creepy now. "Um, hey;" Musa said while she closed the door, "what's the sitch?"
"Nothing expect I lost my Venus vain trap," Flora shuffled a few papers. "How are you?"
"I'm just send my dad a IM, I just missed him so I have to wait for any reply." Musa looked down at her shoes, it has only been a few days now since Bloom left but Flora was taking it pretty hard. very hard in her opinion.
"What did you tell him?"
"That, we could be.."
"Could be what?" Flora finally moved, she turn to face Musa. The poor girl could now scare the make up off a witch, how was this possible in a few days is pretty unknown in and of itself. "That we could be what? Expelled?"
"Hey, relax. It's nothing really too big," Musa shivered. Flora can get upset or angry if she wants, under that shy and quiet exterior was a powder keg of explosive waiting for that spark. "Flora, I was meaning to ask you about your plants."
"Why are you acting scared?" Flora's face soften, she really didn't know what had came over her. Musa was trying not to show it but she's scared, these mood swings were appearing more, "I'm not going to hurt you. I would hurt a fly and I can't find it in me to hate anyone."
"Yeah, I know." Musa Swallowed hard, "I remember when you helped the junior league and how you got upset when I was being beaten around by Darcy and Riven." But, you've have, no are, changing.
Flora smiled, the door open and Techna came in. "Musa, there you are. Flora, I see you are handling this situation quite well."
"Handing what quite well?" Flora noticed Musa had slipped over to hide behind Techna, "I'm perfectly fine except I'm going to be expelled soon."
"Flora, it's highly illogical for the conceal to expel us," Techna. "We only snuck in to find the boys, it's information like that they will look at. Not Miss Grinselda's personal vendetta and prejudice."
"What vendetta do I have against you?"
They all jump while turning to find the head of discipline standing there, she narrowed her eyes but pointed at Flora. "You, Ms. Faragonda wants to see in her office. Now." And with that she was gone, leaving the trio very confused of what happened.
Musa said it best, "what she want?"
Icy was at the feet of her mother, Darcy was in the lounge chair and Pepe was on the living. "Please, please forgive me!"
"Icy," the woman said while walking around the room. She brushed some white hair out of her blue eyes while scanning the room, "where is your sister?"
"I don't know!"
"Well, I am going to wait here then." She took a seat on the couch, Pepe leap up into her lap while she started to pet him. "And fill you in."
