Chapter 3: Kid dilemma
Blossom's POV
"Okay class, today the Gr.7's will be seeing Ms. Luca for a talk. Boys will be in the gym, girls in the multipurpose room for a small chat about human development"
"Yeah right, more like sex-ed" Buttercup whispers in my ear. "Shhh! Buttercup, you didn't have to say that aloud!" I whisper back, effectively shushing her, but not her smirk, making me equally strained. I try to stop the blush from reaching my face, but too late. Oh god, it feels like everyone's staring at me! And at the worst time possible! This is so embarrassing! Buttercup, my idiot friend just snickers, not a hint of pink tinting her sun-tanned face. Ughh! I feel myself seething with rage and envy; sometimes, I just wish I was as tanned as her! No one can ever tell when she blushes... It's so unfair!
Bubbles, sensing my distress, comes to the rescue, "Hey Blossom, can you help me on this one?" Immediately, her method set into action, I'm already starting to cool off. Thank god Bubbles was here, she just knew what to do. "Which question?" I ask, sending her a bright smile as a token of my thanks.
The day passed by quickly, and in the end, we were assigned with 10 pages of homework. Luckily, they were all easy, except for a few questions in math. Oh well, that's what the internet is for, right? Anyway, as I take a quick glance at the clock, tuning out a classmate's speech for a moment, I see there's only an hour at best left of school. We've already finished both of our breaks; it's like we didn't even have lunch yet!
It all happened so fast; one second I'm figuring out Bubbles' geometry card, the next thing I know, it's already 10 minutes to 3pm! The second day of school whizzed by so fast, I think I was dizzy halfway home! But the only sad thing is I'm not walking home with Bubbles or Buttercup. On the first day, I realised that we lived at least a good 40 miles apart. By car, they weren't that far away, but by foot, it'd take at least 3 hours to get there! (Not to mention that Bubbles lived an extra +20 or so miles away!)
Even worse, her only accompaniment was a bratty, obnoxiously loud 6 year old who went on random spasms in which he would rant about how he didn't get his favourite crayon, a kid didn't wave at him, and all the things that snotty children typically rant about. Great, things couldn't get any better. As the 6 year old started spouting about how spoiled a child he was (Gee, I couldn't tell from the way he talked about a kid who "hit him" and how he tragically fell and got a "Boo-boo"), I took into reminiscing about the past days as my only remedy. Here I was, thinking about the first few days of school, with an annoying brat as my only source of company. It was ironic really: me, one of the smartest girls in our class, stuck with an even more stuck up brat than Brat herself. How bothersome.
Though my cure seemed to work. Around 3 minutes of listening to this kid babble on, I soon became so indulged in my thoughts it was like he didn't exist anymore. Soon, I was in my own world, and it was just me and the streets. However, I broke out of my stupor as soon as I rounded the corner to my house where, thankfully, the kid and I parted. I was about to wave goodbye and good riddance to his annoying snotty-face-brat-mouthed-king-of-all-things-annoying-that can-only-come-out-of-a-5-year-old's-mouth sir annoys-me-a-lot when I noticed that he'd already left. How rude, and not even a peep of "goodbye" from his ever-chatting mouth. Well, good riddance to him anyway! I mutter to myself, trying to ignore the festering guilt in my chest about ignoring the kid. What if there was something in that dialogue of his that needed help? And I'd just unknowingly blown him off like a jerk...
Finally done! This was kind of an experimental chapter, just to get used to seeing things in Blossom's POV. So, what do you think? Good enough, or any major parts I screwed up on that make her totally OOC? (Also, some parts were screwed up a bit because at Gr.5, she isn't the pinnacle of perfection yet, no matter what else she might think). And of course, the next chapter will be much more exciting.
Next next chapter: Things start getting heated as Blossom's first encounter with the boys' comes in hand. It's about to get a whole lot spicier when they have to form a temporary friendship due to the girls' absence. What could happen when Blossom and her crush have to co-lead the rest of the boys? Nothing but pure chaos and absurd, PG13 for references in their wicked, impossible adventures. It'll definitely be the time of her life.
