Disclaimer: see Chapter 1
Err, this is the shortest chapter in the story. They start getting longer from here on in, I promise. Oh, and if you object to sweet revenge, you shouldn't read this chapter...
Chapter 3
I'll say one thing for Tobias- for a hawk that has only recently regained his ability to morph, he sure knows gym socks. By the time I was inside the wall of the girls change room I was seriously considering aborting the mission. Powder, dust, grasses, garbage, rancid sweat and deodorant bombarded my sensitive rat nostrils. The rat was in heaven. I felt like I was in a pet show with way to many pets and far too few pooper-scoopers. Well, maybe not quite that bad, but you get the picture.
I pressed forward. Debbie had taken something very valuable from me, and I wasn't going to let her get away with it.
I found her locker easily. Debbie was about the only person in the entire school who could afford to wear colleen that reeked like 'eau de goat'. The corner of the locker was just as I had found it last Friday, slightly bent. I slipped in and settled down to wait.
It wasn't long before the cheerleading queen came in, her followers trailing behind. Majestically she paused in the doorway, surveying her kingdom, then turned and swept up to her locker, gracefully kneeling on the floor in front so she could reach her lock with ease. The locker door swung open…and revealed me, in all my gringy glory, smiling up at her and waving.
Suddenly, the light dimmed. A sour smell drifted towards me…
Whump! A pile of whiteness fell on top of me.
Her shriek almost deafened me, but I swear I heard a small sonic boom following her out of the room.
Bear with me, folks. Next chapter will be uploaded within the hour...
