Clumsy-Rella

Chapter 2

After homeroom I texted a RBP (Royally Big Problem) to the group chat and told the girls to meet me in the 2nd floor north bathroom. I hadn't ran so fast since Crowns R Us had a bogo sale last year. When I got to the bathroom Gaia, Star and Bex were already there. "What happened?!" Star asked worriedly, "Yeah, what's the big problem?" Bex asked. "We should wait for the others to get here before I say anything, we're gonna need all of our heads to figure this one out." I said.

I started pacing back and forth. I kept thinking about Ryder's expression when he looked at me. What in Neverland was going on today? I thought. Astra, Fawn and Niana arrived together 2 minutes later. I looked at my phone, we only had 5 minutes to discuss. I told them everything that happened in homeroom in less than 40 seconds. I was out of breath. "Whoa what?" Astra said "That's wild." Niana pointed out "Him being scared of your face? That doesn't seem like the case." Gaia said fidgeting with her jacket zipper. Gaia Wonder was certainly a wonder to everyone who met her. With her wacky rhyming , colorful hair and bubbly attitude, there's no way you couldn't not like her. Not to mention her sense of style was top notch too. She wore a bubble gum pink ruffled top, white jacket with pink details, an ombre skirt with argyle stockings and her two tone pink and white hair in a half up half down space bun style.

~ "Princess, you describe people at awfully peculiar times." "This is how I work, let me be." ~

She matched all her outfits with her hair. The week before she was a pink and green explosion, she looked like a watermelon, I assumed the next week she'd be all about blue. The only thing that didn't change about her appearance were her round eyes, no one's ever seen anything like them, they're the prettiest shade of turquoise ever. I thought they were colored contacts when I first met her, but they're actually that color. "I don't understand, He was smiling and then he looked like he saw the evil queen?" Star said "That's exactly what happened." I said still confused.

"There has to be a reason he did that." Fawn said "Did you say or do anything?" "No, I was playing on my phone when he sat down in front of me and asked to borrow a pen." I rubbed my temples, I was starting to get a headache. "But that doesn't make any sense ." Niana stated "I know, I can't think of anything to explain why he did that." "So first you fall in front of Asher then Ryder Hood runs from you like you're a sea monster..." Astra started, she looked like she was thinking then her eyes lit up, "Oh my seven seas, Celeste you're cursed!" She exclaimed.

"What? No way." Bex said, crossing her arms, "Yeah there's no curse in her story." Star reminded them. "No, there's no curse in her parents' story, Celeste's story is going to be different because she doesn't have an evil step-mother.." Astra said "Or evil step-sisters." Niana added. We all looked at each other . "Ok so if I'm really cursed, how do I get rid of it?" I asked, I knew these glasses were a curse, there's no way someone would be scared of a pair of glasses unless of course they were cursed, but how would they know that?

"I have no idea." Astra said "Guys any ideas?" Star started to say something but the bell interrupted her. "Ribbit! I mean sugar cookies! Mr.Gingerbread will give me dish duty if I'm late to baking again." Niana said as she put her light green bag on her shoulder.

~ "Did she just ribbit?" "yup." ~

"See you guys later." She walked out the door. "We should get going too, don't want to have to listen to Ms.Hare talk about being punctual again." Star said, Astra agreed with her. "We'll talk later." "Yeah I have a test to take." I said, we all walked out the bathroom, Fawn and Gaia right behind us. "You have a curse, but at least you have a surprise in your purse." Gaia said, skipping away again. "What does that have to do with anything?" Star said, "Beats me." Bex said, I turned to look at her and she had a book in front of her face. I lowered it and she looked at me like I just insulted her. "You kinda have to look where you're going to get to class.' I said, Fawn giggled, "And you have to learn to speak more quietly." "What? I don't shout." "No but you do spill secrets when you sleep talk-" I put air quotes around sleep. "I forgot to mention it this morning but your mom told my dad about Asher because she heard you talking on the phone with us about me wanting to talk to him." "Oops, sorry about that." She yawned again, she had already finished her coffee.
