Chapter 3: Long Time No See
"It should be right over here...."
I said, poking my head around a corner. Wander poked his head around the corner above me, Sylvia doing the same thing above Wander. The outdoor courtyard was decorated with navy blue and lime green (our school colors) streamers and balloons. A banner reading "Class of 2012" hung over the door to inside the school. A bunch of other former students were bustling with almost as much energy as me. Almost. Two voices gasped to my right.
"Snowy?!?!"
I turned my attention to the source of the voices. A gasp escaped my smile. Standing a short distance away from us was a Clouded Leopard with a light brown wavy ponytail that highlighted her emerald-shaded eyes known as Eugenia, and a Lynx wearing her blonde hair in a bun, her bangs hiding her chocolate brown eyes named Will-O-Wisp.
"Genie!! Wisps!!"
I shrieked and darted to them, tackling them in a crushing hug. We got up.
"It's been way too long!!"
Eugenia reminded.
"I still can't believe we survived without our favorite tomboy!!"
Willow giggled. The three of us laughed. The second we caught our breaths, Wander and Sylvia walked over to us.
"Oh, right!! You guys, this is--"
"Hi I'm Wander!!"
Wander finished for me. It's kind of our thing. I start, he finishes.
"Oh my gosh!!! He is adorable!!!"
Eugenia squeaked. I shot her a death glare. Eugenia gave me a confused expression, then a surprised one. She squinted her eyes and smirked slyly: her "I see what you did there" face. My brain's rambling, saying "Oooooooh. Girl, you jealouuuus" over and over again.
"Why thank ya! And this is Sylvia."
Wander introduced. Sylvia just nodded. She looked at me. I rolled my eyes. I knew what she was thinking. I pointed in the direction of the buffet. She immediately took off running.
"Wander, we still owe you for saving Snowy!"
Eugenia remembered. After a while we started to mingle with old classmates. An hour after our arrival, I heard a voice. A female voice. The voice of someone that I hoped to never hear from again.
"Snowbelle..."
The voice said. My ears flattened against my head as an annoyed expression came onto my face. I turned around and stared coldly at the girl behind me, who was my age and former best friend. She was a Bombay with bright red locks held back from her lavender eyes by a dark gray bobby pin.
"Ebony...."
I gritted my fangs. Ebony was the meanest and most popular gal in high school. I was popular from the 5th grade to the 8th. I got bored and made a plan to make Ebony popular, and it worked.... Up to the point where she got mad that the guy she liked liked me instead. So, she humiliated me at a pool party she threw. Ebony made it look like I pushed the guy into a kiddy pool for guests' lil siblings.
"Long time no see.... I see you're still a disgusting furball."
She scowled.
"Least I'm not the one who bribed the principal so she could graduate after failing the finals.... And every assignment ever given..."
I snapped my jaws. The crowd oooooh'd.
"Burn!!"
Sylvia shouted from the buffet. Oh, it is on!!
