Kassandra

Claire and Ava Isom and Elsa Franklin- Part 2

Later that night at 5:45 p.m. (15 minutes until the girls' detention)-

"Ya ready for this? Girl up. No mercy. Nevertheless remember, we are not here to punish them. We are here to get them to admit to having powers." I stated like rapid fire, running around the classroom to get it ready. "Yep. Although, we still have to tell them who's boss, and that would be us. So, a little bit of punishment would be good for them." Faith replied nonchalantly. "Well obviously. If they really do have powers, we can't have them making trouble for us. We clearly cannot draw even more attention to ourselves." I countered. Faith nodded and said, "Any more attractions to us, and you would probably use your strength to start snapping people's femurs. It's not a secret that people aren't exactly the thing that makes you smile and say 'that is an amazing creature of the Earth.'" "Ya got that right. People that I don't know? Well, let's just say that they aren't forte. That's for sure."

2 minutes until 6:00

"Hi best friends!" Elsa exclaimed excitedly. "We talked about this Elsa, you are not allowed to call them your best friends." Claire interrupted in a motherly tone. "No, no. It's fine. It's, just, whatever. I have given up on that one over there." I interjected exasperatedly. "Oh, ok." Faith announced confusedly. Faith continued, "I don't think we all got a chance to properly introduce ourselves yet. We're-" "Faith Lehane and Kassandra McKesson. Everybody knows who you 2 are." Ava interrupts creepily. Awkward silence. All of them look up to you. You have to be the one to break this deafening silence. Faith's voice popped into my head. OK, fine, I reply. "Well, good news, you made it n time so I don't have to give all of y'all another detention each." I said authoritatively. "So, then. We should probably get started right about now or my Aunt will be at my neck." I stated, getting down to business. "Wait, your Aunt? Why would your Aunt care about what you do at this school?" Ava wondered aloud.

"My Aunt is the Headmistress of this school. Faith and I have been going here since we were 6. Only 1 year after the hunters found us in our little neighborhood in the beachy- countryside of Mauritania in Africa." I stated matter-of-factly. "Whoa. You guys are from Africa? Oh my gosh! That's so cool! What's it like there, in Mauritania?" Elsa asked enthusiastically. "First of all, we are both really from Andorra, but we moved there to get away from the hunters about 2 weeks after they started hunting us." Faith announced. "Wait a minute. Where the heck is Andorra?" Claire quizzed. "It's a small country in Europe." I interjected. Getting back to her earlier statement, Faith continued, "Second-of-all, it is cool that we lived in Africa. So far, we have lived on 4 different continents. In Europe, we lived in Andorra. In South America, we lived in Chile, but for only like 3 or 4 weeks. In Africa, we lived in Mauritania. Now, we live in Asia. Third of all, we lived on an isolated beach in Mauritania, so we didn't really interact with many people because most folks didn't even know that the beach that we lived on existed."

"Then again, it was pretty good for us because some of the snobby rich people were just nasty little suckers. It was just our families and us. It was truly an exquisite time. The beach that we lived on was amazing, and all the nights that we just sat outside and watched the sun set. Ah. Those were the days." I remembered aloud and with affection for my time in Africa. "So, uh, let's get started." Faith stated, getting back down to the business that we had gotten very sidetracked from. "So, what are we even going to do in this detention? I mean like, I haven't heard anyone that had detention. Wait, are we the first ones?" quizzed Claire.

"No, you are definitely not the first ones. People don't talk about it because they can get expelled if they do, so most don't really want to get expelled. So, in this detention, we will be your, inquisitors, if you will. We will also allow you to work on homework and you will have some things to do for Ms. Masani." I countered darkly. "Ok so, go ahead and sit down." (lot's of time later. That time consisted of lot's and lot's of questions.)
