Kid dilly dallied in the student parking lot as she drove her
motorcycle up and down the lanes, pretending to look for a spot to park. By now, she had passed up two or three good spots and yet she continued to look. Truth be told, she didn't feel like attending the festival.
Well, I do but I don't, she thought to herself as she turned to ride down yet another lane. It was obvious to anyone who happened to glance in her direction that the girl was in no type of rush. Considering how her butt had very much been on the line last year, one would think she would have been front and center when the festival opened; though this was a new year and she had been able to somewhat clear her ledger.
Screw it, she thought as she revved the engine and raced to the front of the parking lot; placing the vehicle in one of the open spots designed for motorcycles only. She removed her
helmet and locked it to her bike before making her way across the street toward the academy.
It had been a couple of months now into her second year at Sorzen and the only thing she had heard about last year's fiasco were a couple of rumors. However, returning to the scene of the “crime” had it's own difficulties. Her first year had been a nightmare in an effort to get her name known. She was familiar with academies like Sorzen and knew how they worked, especially for middle class people like herself. People either knew you by name and you made it big or you were just another face in the crowd. People certainly knew her by name, though not exactly in the context she had in mind. The scheme she had plotted and carried out in the courtyard her freshman year, to get the attention she rightfully deserved, was a glorious one until faulty pyro set part of someone's outfit on fire. From that point on she was number one on the watch list and quite the talked about subject for a week or two.
Upon entering the courtyard, she stopped walking and glanced around to get the gist of the scene. Rides, games, food....
”Oh wow, a fair...,” she stated aloud in unimpressed observation to herself as she continued to walk and take in the sights. There was an upbeat energy to the place but it was missing that “go wild” vibe she was used to associating with such surroundings. All the same, everyone seemed to having fun so who was she to complain.
Kid Kors, that's who, she thought to herself as she rolled her eyes at the festival in general. Not wanting to try any of the games or rides, she casually strolled over to where people were getting food.
“Nothing says fair like a funnel cake,” she stated to herself as she waited her turn to order.
“One funnel cake. And don't skip on the grease or powdered sugar,” she said with a smirk to the guy behind the counter when it was her turn. It was enough to get a small smile from him. She would count it as a victory.
