Chapter 2
"Believe it or not," Kylin said, her head resting firmly on the table, "I don't think we can go back there."
After their narrow escape from the 'clasps' of 'learning', Rebecca had Apperated to her house. Both of her parents had business to Belgium, and her sister didn't even bother with them, except for when they first arrived.
"I'm going to pretend I never saw you," Katherine had said, before heading off Withering Heights High School for Magically Able Adolescents, "If you're playing truant, it's none of my business. Just lock the door and bring enough underwear."
Kylin, Emma and Walker now sat at the table, while Rebecca paced the floor and Natalya did the splits.
"Is that wholly necessary?" Kylin asked, rather annoyed at 'Tall's calm manner.
Natalya looked up at her angrily, and protested with hand gestures, "Well, I have to keep in shape."
"Yeah," Rebecca asked, momentarily pausing in the destruction on the wood floors, "Is that why you decided to empty my fridge completely? And that Coffee Almond Ice Cream was mine."
"So," Emma cut in smoothly, grabbing the back of Kylin's head to keep her from giving herself a concussion, "What are we going to do? Besides having food wars?"
Just twenty minutes earlier, Kylin had been eating raw brown sugar, straight from the bag. Walker had been slowly, but steadily eating an entire bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, and Emma had been drooling over Rebecca's mother's store of Belgium and Swiss chocolate.
Rebecca had slapped all of them, and then returned to eating her banana and peaches 'n cream yogurt.
"I thought we came here to do something progressive," Rebecca whined, "Not empty my parent's fridge and cupboards," then she turned and snatched the bowl of brown sugar away from Kylin, who was trying once again to become 'SUGAR-HIGH'. "Kylin, stop that or you're going to put yourself into a diabetic coma."
"MINE," Kylin squealed, making a wild grab for the bowl, and ending up with Walker's nose.
Walker jumped up from the table, and shivered, "God I hate girls."
Kylin sniveled and stuck out her lip. Rebecca was unmoved. She handed the bowel of sugar to Emma. "Emma, don't let Kylin at the sugar. WALKER, she didn't mean to. It's the sugar talking. Honestly."
"Uh, Becca," came Natalya's voice from behind her, "Kylin's got the sugar and she's trying to climb your walls."
Sure enough, when Becca turned around, she saw her curly haired friend, with a bowel of sugar clasped under her arm, trying to break history by being the first person to climb a wall without magic. Kylin looked at her with wide eyes, then yelled, "MINE!!"
Everyone looked at each other, then burst out laughing.
"No matter what happens," Emma said, "Let's always be friends."
However, what happened next was...John Smith.
