CHAPTER SEVEN: MONDAY

"Good morning everybody!" Alexa greeted as she entered the room, seeing her classmates

"Morning, Alexa." Some greeted

"Tooth," Alexa said, grabbing Tooth's wrist, "with me."

She went around the classroom, pulling girls up from their chairs. She went to the back of the class where she normally sat.

"What's all this, Lex?" Sheila asked

"It's about the campfire last Friday night. It just dawned upon me that Tooth and Jack had their first kiss there." Alexa suddenly squealed

"So what's the big deal about this?" Kimberly asked

"Because, it's the first time in three years that this awesome class had actually encountered a magical thing." Alexa grinned at Tooth, "So how was it like? Was he a good kisser or a sloppy one?"

"Well, I wouldn't say sloppy," Tooth started

"So you're saying that he's good?" Sophia asked, suddenly intrigued about the topic

"N-no, well, good but not that good," Tooth started to blush

"So he's not a good kisser? I don't get it. A good looking guy has bad moves." Sheila inquired

"He's good, Sheila, but not as in great great." Tooth stated

"So he is a sloppy kisser! I should've known!" Kimberly exclaimed

"Okay I can't take this anymore." Tooth shook her head and backed away from the group of girls only to bump into a blue worn sweater

"Uh, Jack!" Tooth turned around

"Are you girls done talking about how I kiss?" Jack asked

"Are you guys done being creeps for listening to us?" Tooth asked

"Alright so we're not answering those questions anymore." Jack stated

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" A very very loud screech was heard through the hallway and into the room

"Whoa who was that?" Sam asked

"Looks like someone's having a major bad hair day." Alexander muttered

A screeching and crying Mari entered the classroom. Her hair was a huge mess and her clothes were too. Dirt was visible at her skin and clothing. And what confused all of them the most was the fact that her wings were not up.

"Oh my," Alexa immediately went to the front where Mari was, "Sweetie, what happened?"

She embraced Mari and put her head on her shoulder.

"A-a bird flew past me an-and I lost my ba-balance and I fell into a, a, a, a tree." Mari explained

"So where'd you get hurt?" Cimanella asked, ready to get a first aid kit

"Jack, Tooth, I am so sorry, but I can't battle anymore." Mari said and showed them her wings

Almost everyone gasped at the sight, the other half were too surprised to even have a reaction.

"Mari! Your wings! It has a huge cut!" Tooth struggled to say, "Wing injuries do not heal quickly. It takes years to heal."

"I know and I'm so sorry that I can't be in the team."

"No, no. It's fine, Mari. Don't blame yourself for the injury. You did your part last weekend, and I think your troop is more than ready." Jack encouraged
