Animal Jam: Insubordinates

Chapter 7: Pink Worn Blanket

PDA and emotional/physical abuse warning

(FAIRY POV)

I still don't know why Admiral dragged me to that resistance meeting. He was always against it; 'blah, blah, blah, this is good for us, arctic wolves are the best'- so I was confused when he told me he was going and that I had to go with him.

Don't get me wrong, I felt bad when the decree was passed. Princess, my best friend, was a polar bear! But Admiral always convinces me that he's right. He's been doing that since day one.

We were sitting on a hard floor, listening to the pretty lady. I remember being upset. I was getting mud all over my priceless worn! I asked Admiral if he could hold it in his lap, but he just rolled his eyes and told me to shut up. I sighed, and looked down at my filthy pink worn. It reminded me of the day I first met Admiral.

(FLASHBACK)

"Bye, Mr. Cooltalons! Tell Daddy thank you for the pretty new worn!" I yelled at my chauffeur. The stone faced crocodile solemnly nodded, and sped off into the traffic of Jamaa Township. I looked around at all the other teens walking up the pristine white steps and noisily slamming expensive car doors. I was so excited. It was Career Day!

I rushed into the massive, smooth marble doorframe of the prestigious Township Private High School. Jammers swarmed around me, a giant swirl of expensive clothing and rare items. I proudly skipped into the crowded hallways, showing off my new pink worn. As usual, I got so many compliments and greetings it sounded like a musical buzz of gasps and envy.

Everyone liked me, and I liked everyone. It was only the second month since I got transferred here for my senior year, and I was already the most popular jammer in school! I was so happy. But I had to thank my dad- he bought everything I needed to be beautiful. I didn't even need to worry about schoolwork- dad also took care of that! I wasn't even good at schoolwork. Nobody really had a problem with that- Except for Bouncing.

From what I had heard from my new friends, Career Day was one of the best events we had here.

It was first period AP English. Class had yet to start, and I was chatting with my best friend- Princess Shiverbear.

"I CAN'T WAIT!" She squealed. "All these cute college guys come to talk about jobs and stuff. BUT AFTERWARDS YOU CAN FLIRT WITH THEM!"

I giggled. "It sounds fun!" I lied. I didn't like when guys flirted with me. I always got scared- they were so big, and loud, and rude, and...

Princess clapped her paws in front of my face.

"UH... HELLO?! CUTE GUYS?! FLIRTING?!" She yelled. I nervously laughed.

In the back of the classroom, I heard an annoyed sigh. I whipped around and saw Bouncing, rolling her eyes. Bouncing was tall for a female hyena, and had navy blue fur with a birch colored underfur. Her eyes were black and glossy, and a white lightning pattern danced across her fur. The white bow on the side of her chest heaved with the sigh, and she played with her grey fang necklace. Angular white gazelle horns added to her height. She was pretty, but I loathed her.

And she hated me.

"Can you two cut it out with the college boy crap?!" She snapped. Princess sneered at her, and nudged me. I barked a laugh.

"Oh, just shut it Bouncing! Boys are handsome, unlike you!" I snapped back.

Bouncing rolled her eyes once again. "Is that the best you can do, pretty girl? Afraid to smudge your makeup?" She teased. I stood up from my desk angrily.
