Chapter 8: Raffina: The Clique by kirbymanx/huskynator

F0 - Entrance

Inside the 5 color rainbow walled entrance of Primp High were two female Junior students waiting on the rest of their clique.

The pink-haired human girl was leaning her back against the wall, her phone firmly in hand. Scrolling up on her list of pictures of herself on verse.

The other one was a lighter pink-haired Canine Centaur (Torso, head, and arms of a human close to where the dog's head should be, with some canine fangs, ears, and 4 legged dog body), sat next to the wall, leaning against it with her side.

The canine centaur leaned over to the human's cosplay pictures on the human's phone. "Ooooo. I don't think I've seen you in that awesome Onion Pixie costume yet, RafRaf." The centaur spoke. "Never thought those weeds would make you look so sexy." She complimented her alpha.

Scylla
Cute Sticky-Fingered Kleptomaniac

"Please." The human pinkhead flipped her long beautiful, curled hair without looking her friend in the eye. "I make anything look good." She spoke proudly with absolute confidence in her voice.

Raffina
So Beautiful, She Hurts

"True." Scylla spoke almost in a trance looking at Raffina's chest. The rich human glared at her dog-like associate in the eyes.

"What." The trendy Raffina said annoyed. Not an unusual reaction to Scylla, who remained entranced until Raffina snapped her fingers twice.

"Oh!" The centaur snapped out of it. "Sorry, Raf. I couldn't help but notice your shiny new necklace~"

"Oh, what a coincidence." She oozed sarcasm and mild contempt and she hadn't even gotten to her quip yet. "I couldn't help but notice you can't help but notice my shiny new necklace I couldn't help but notice that you can't keep your eyes off of my shiny new necklace." Raffina didn't tuck it in her blouse despite chronic klepto Scylla having eyed it and kept wagging her tail at it.

As the two kept waiting, Scylla asked more questions. "Hey, Raf?"

"Yes, Scylla?" She switched over to filing her light purple nails.

"Do we have to keep walking by Schezo's room? I lost a lot of credits there."

"You never know if there's someone to be saved in there." She matter of factly explained.

"But do you have to play the hero each time?"

"Of course. They won't save themselves."

"But-"

"Stop. Scylla." Raffina huffed and put her fists on her hips as she faced at the part of her group. "You should worry more about that Harpy's singing with your canine ears."

"I can hear her now. She's screeching on the third floor… And there goes some glass…"

"Hi, girls." A new voice walked down the stairs. It was Raffina's younger sister, Raina, and Mummy. The final two members of their clique.

"Raine!" Raffina smiled while putting her file away. "What took you so long?" She said in a slightly less happy tone, though not by too much.

"Sorry, my BF called me out of nowhere so we planned a date then and there."

"Miss Raina also send in a selfie or two." Mummy giggled as Raina did the same in a self-deprecating manner.

"Mummy"
Formally Pretty(?) Undead Patsy

"Aha. So ladies. Ready to strut our stuff?" Raffina suddenly radiated a different aura as soon as she put on her famous face. Her 0,- face.

"Yeah!"
"Duh."
"Most certainly."
Scylla, Raina, and Mummy said respectively.

"Well then." Raffina's demeanor got more desirable as she put her hand on the door nobs of the entrance door. "Let's go, shall we?" The reaction to the rhetorical was unanimous.

F0 - Outside(/Entrance)

Raffina threw open the doors. The slam demanded presence. A presence that Raffina well earned, that and currently being the second most gorgeous female student in the school. A position she relishes in considering who her competition is in that regard. For all intents and purposes, she's the prettiest.

Her status as one of the most popular is well earned, she's one of the school's top athletes as well, even if she's not the best at the school's signature sport.

It helps that she's backed up by some of the school's cutest.

That being her almost as pretty, year younger sister Raina is mostly known for her cheerleading.

The one beloved by dog lovers and those who like cute girls, Scylla, mostly known for her vices that get kept in check.

And the pitiable, humbled, the wrapped-up one, the "Mummy", mostly known for the fatal accident she had in the first week of freshman year.

They're the most popular and most attractive group of friends the school has (even with Mummy there). Both boys and girls swoon over them.

"Oh, look it's Raffina!"
"Thank you for saving my friend from Carrie!"
"Seriously, how does she do her hair like that?"
"I have no clue."
"Hi, Raina!"

"Hi." Raina waved back. The rich and refined Fielding sisters, in particular, enjoyed the attention. Posed together or solo when asked to. They didn't mind giving it away for free. They enjoyed being flirty and giving them what they want while always leaving them wanting more of course.

Scylla got in on the fun too with her cute dog-like mannerisms, but she caught a glimpse of a certain piece of jewelry on Raffina's chest one too many times. She couldn't help it, frankly, the human/dog centaur lady takes more after magpies than humans or dogs. "Mine!" She jumped toward the shiny!

BAM!

And suddenly, blink-and-you miss it, everyone jumped when Raffine slammed her cohort on the school's asphalt. Letting out an aggravated grunt. "STOP TRYING TO STEAL M- EVERYONE'S VALUABLE OBJECTS!" She yelled at the centaur who's possibly unconscious at the moment.

"That's our Raffine, keeping us safe!" The crowd cheered. Better that notorious chronic klepto being on the elder Fielding's butt all the time than theirs. Right? She can keep the nimble dog girl in check.

"I saw everything!" A woman shouted from the school entrance.

Dr. Bonnett (Floor 1 Nurse)
She's indeed a doctor

Dr. Bonnett walked up to the downed Scylla. "Did she try and stea-"

"Yes!" Raffine belted annoyed with her arms folded.

The doctor sighed. "I'll request her therapist to double her efforts. This can't go on like this… Miss Nephthys?"

"Of course I'll help you lift Scylla again!" Mummy replied as she did just that along with some other volunteers. "See you later, Raffine, Raine!"

"Bye, Mummy." Raina waved.

And Scylla was off the nurse's office.

"That bitch is lucky she's good at making us look good." A cranky Raffina said.

"Don't be like that, sis, she really can't help it. It's truly for the best. She can't steal from us."

"I miss wearing earrings." She checked if her necklace was damaged.

Several meters away, Panotty, not being in the loop of all things Raffina is about, asked the nearest person what just happened.

"This happens a lot. Give them two days and they'll be friends again." Arle said to the elf. "It's impressive how much upper arm strength Raffina has, she's so quick too. I'm kinda jealous." She said while feeling her not as toned biceps.

"Hm…" Panotty wrote down Raffina as a maybe on his prank list.

Authors' Notes:

HUSK: It's been a while since I stole Streets of Rage's Blaze Fielding's last name, for Raffina's. SoR4 is coming out. Heck, might be out by the time this chapter is up. Also, this fic might be on a teeny hiatus. It depends on if Ware and I wanna make a nice blog post about Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Paper Mario as a whole. It'll probably be on warelander's Tumblr.

Bonnett, for the record, is not an OC. She's Arle teacher from the Madou games given a name by ware. Also, she's a nurse here.

Future HUSK: Actually SoR4 is out now, it's awesome I'm disappointed how little I'm disappointed. And ch9 is done at this point. Just wait a little.
