💠 Bijou The Ascended (Part 3) 💠

For the Future (Part 2)

The group entered Hexside's gymnasium, where there were banners and a large sign that read New Hexside is the Future.

"Uh..." Jerbo hesitantly addressed the council. "So I-if we get a group to organize supplies, we can keep track of perishables, that way we won't have to fight over food anymore."

"Hmm..." And the person he was suggesting this to was, regrettably, Boscha, who hummed in thought while tapping her chin.

"President," a short St. Epiderm student with white hair and goggles exclaimed. "If I may be so bold..."

"President?!" Luz and Bijou exclaimed in unison, both shocked that she was leading.

"This would take valuable resources away from your guard. You don't wanna be collected like the others, do you?"

"Good point, Miki," Boscha replied, crossing her arms. "Next!" She clicked her fingers, and Jerbo moaned, turned around to face the others.

"Oh my gosh, it's you guys!"

"Hey, Jerbo," Bijou waved.

"Did she take any of our ideas?" Matt asked Jerbo.

"No," he replied, rubbing his neck sheepishly. "Uh, sorry, I gotta make sure the kindergarteners aren't hunting down lockers again. There was a bloodbath last time..." He left with a shiver. "So glad you're alive! Ha ha..."

"Boscha," Matt called out to her. "We found-" Miki cleared her throat, and he growled in irritation. "Allow me to introduce student body president Boscha and her trusted guards Miki and Roka."

"Welcome to New Hexside!" Boscha exclaimed, tossing a grudgby ball around. "Home to the future of the Isles and stuff."

She then dropped the ball when she laid eyes on Bijou.

"You," the two enemies hissed at one another.

"You two have a history?" Florian asked, looking between the two girls.

"She's probably Bijou's biggest enemy around here, remember?" Luz whispered to him.

"Oh...I see," Florian said in a blank tone to the girl.

"Wanna remind me why we're here before I make her life a nightmare?" Bijou inquired sweetly, but her eyes revealed that she was one step closer to sabotaging their proposal. Aria put a hand in front of her.

"Calm down, Bij. I'm sure you and Boscha here will have time for a catfight later."

"But what the heck is going on here?" Luz asked that Boscha bring the issue back on track.

"Yeah, Hexside doesn't even have a student council! I would know, I kept trying to organize one but Bump thought I was too obsessed and-"

"Alright, girl, take a breath," Willow told Amity, who exhaled deeply in frustration.

"And I don't like the leader in question either. Or at least I'd be okay with the concept if the president wasn't such an entitled, grudgby-happy brat," Jackie grinned with a hand on her hip as Boscha hissed at her.

"No one asked you, Jackie!" Boscha snapped.

"And who are you two?" Gus asked, pointing at Miki and Roka, who were clearly not Hexside students based on their outfits.

"My little sister and I were traveling for the Day of Unity but found ourselves hiding here after the...incident." Aria raised a dubious brow because Roka was twice Miki's height. And had a heavier build. And hadn't said anything at all. "Boscha brought us in, so we helped establish order over Hexside."

"Now we are flourishing!" Boscha said, glancing at her nails. Jerbo and Skara fled, screaming, and Edric, injured, followed them. He was shoved down by the kindergarteners and hauled away.
