Faerie Revenge

“Sara! Will you pay attention please?”

Sara looked up at Mrs. Fletcher, after almost four years of High School Mrs. Fletcher was still at Cherry High, as strict as ever.

“I’m listening…” Sara lied, in truth she had been staring out the window, thinking about the last three years. Three years ago that day Ryan August had walked through the doors of her history class and changed Sara’s life forever. She hadn’t seen him in three years, not since Mallorie’s downfall, but since then she had changed a lot. She laughed as she thought about the girl she was in her freshman year, afraid of everyone and everything, she was an overprotected, frightened 14 year old. But now she was a senior in high school, she was seventeen and had a 12 o clock curfew, and she felt free. She was free from the leash her parents had kept her on 14 years, or at least, the leash had been loosened. After she came back from New York all those years ago she had told her parents she followed a boy, who was never seen again, or at least not in the human world, down into the sewers and gotten lost for a few days. Until a gang member, Snarl, had saved her and brought her to the nearest bus back home. It wasn’t a complete lie, she really had followed Ryan down into the sewers, and when she came out Snarl helped her find her way to a bus station. She had been grounded for a long time after that… But she hadn’t told her parents the whole truth; she hadn’t told them about the Faerie Underworld or anything that had happened down there.

“Sara, please, I know you’re not paying attention.” Mrs. Fletcher was standing right next to her now, “I don’t want to have to send you out of the room Sara.”

Sara shook her head, “No… I don’t really want to go out there either. Sorry Mrs. Fletcher, I really am trying to pay attention.”

Mrs. Fletcher rolled her eyes, was about to say something, then closed her mouth, walking back up to the front of the classroom. “I’m getting to lenient in my old age…” she muttered.

Sara sighed, if there was one person she wasn’t going to miss when she went off to college, it was Mrs. Fletcher.

Sara drove home in the rain, glad that it was a Friday and she wasn’t walking home. As she pulled into the driveway her cell phone rang, she fumbled in her purse for it, seeing the silver faerie phone and sighing, it wasn’t ringing, it was just her normal one. Not like that one works around here anyways… She thought to herself, picking up her other cell phone.

“Hello?”

“Sara, it’s Roberta!” Sara heard a familiar perky voice.

“Roberta!” Sara laughed, “How are you?”

“I’m great, I just moved into my new apartment!”

“Congrats” Sara said enviously, “College must be awesome…”

“Yeah it is, want to come see what it’s like?”

“What?”

“I want you to come and visit me in New York for the weekend!”

“Really?! Of course! I have to ask my parents though…”

“Yeah, but they’re cool now right? Ever since… you know.”

Sara nodded, “Yeah I guess. Okay, I’ll ask my mom, she’s in the house…. Hold on a sec.” Sara ran into the house, “Mom?!”

“Yeah honey?” Sara’s mom wandered out of the kitchen.

“Can I visit Roberta in the city, just for the weekend?”

Her mom sat there for a moment, silent. “Honey… remember the last time you went to New York alone, to ‘visit Roberta’?”

Sara sighed, “I promise that won’t happen again, I’m a responsible senior now mom, and Roberta’s a responsible college student, an adult.”

“I guess you’re right…” her mom said, “are you going tonight?”

“Yeah, thanks mom!” Sara kissed her mother’s cheek and picked up the phone again, “I can come Roberta!”

Sara pushed the button that said Roberta Hill in bright red letters, hearing Roberta’s voice come on the intercom; “Come on in Sara!” Sara opened the door and walked up to room 2B, Roberta opened the door for her.

“Hey!” Sara exclaimed, hugging her cousin.

“Sara?!” Roberta looked at Sara, “Wow, you’ve changed a lot since I last saw you, like a million years ago” she laughed.

Sara looked down at herself; she was wearing black sweats, a black T-shirt and a grayish-black jean jacket, not to mention the blue streak in her hair. “Yeah… I’ve changed a lot since the last time we saw each other…” she laughed.

They hugged and talked and giggled for a few minutes; catching up with each other, until the pizza came, “I ordered the pizza with anchovies, is that okay Sar?”

Sara laughed, jumping onto the couch, “Yeah, sure.”

As Roberta paid for the pizza Sara looked around the room; the walls were multiple colors, boxes were lying everywhere and the kitchen sink was filled with dishes. Roberta came in with the pizza and sat on the couch. “It’s a little messy, but it’s mine” Roberta grinned, noticing that Sara was looking around the apartment. “There’s no one to tell me when to eat, when to go to bed, I can do what I want, when I want… unless I’m at school.” She laughed.

Sara sighed, “College must be so great… I’m getting really sick of high school. It’s not so bad as it was at first… but it still sucks.”

“Yeah, college is pretty great, you’ll be here next year, just enjoy senior year while you can. When do you got to prom?” Roberta waggled her eyebrows.

“Uh… Not sure…. Not like I have anyone to go with.” Sara sighed, at least not in this world…

“It doesn’t matter who you go with,” Roberta giggled, “I was a senior just last year and I don’t even remember who I went with.”

“Yeah… I guess…” Sara said, yawning, looking at the clock, it was already eleven, “I’m kinda tired…. Am I sleeping on the couch?”

Roberta shrugged, “If you don’t mind… You can have the bed if you want.”

Sara shook her had, “Nah, that’s okay, I’m fine right here.”

“Okay, I’ll bring you some blankets.
