I Hitch A Ride On A Magic Mushroom

rying comes easy for teenage girls. Frankly, I think we’re genetically engineered for the vulnerable undertaking.

In my opinion, this sucked. For, no matter how tough or logical we were, if we lowered our defenses at the proper moment all it took was the right emotional rise to get the waterworks going.

I’d lived at an all-girl boarding school long enough to validate this claim, and confirm that the innate shortcoming was as inconvenient as it was annoying.

Like thanks, nature. It’s super helpful to get all misty-eyed just from reading a sad book or because the banquet hall ran out of chocolate chip cookies.

Sigh.

Emotions are the worst, aren’t they?

Anyways, it was because of this inherent ability to turn on the waterworks that the Fairy Godmothers no longer responded to every princess or female protagonist at the drop of a tear like they used to. Now there was a whole routine we had to go through in order to get their attention.

My friends and I were presently in the back garden of Adelaide Castle just past the orchard where we’d been conspiring earlier. The hour was late, the stars were out, and the odds were not great. But, there we were.

SJ was fixing my makeup (for extra showmanship when the performance commenced) while Blue was standing beneath a weeping willow nearby, talking with Daniel and Jason. She was holding a large purple textbook with “Damsels in Distress 601” written on the cover in silver. She was laughing, smiling, and seemed to be having a good time.

“Look up,” SJ ordered as she applied my mascara.

I held back my urge to object and obeyed her request, but tried to keep Blue and the boys in my line of sight in the process.

More than ever I wanted to ask Blue why she still remained so amicable with Jason. The behavior she’d been exhibiting was mind-boggling. I mean, not only was he the guy she was unwillingly chained to for the rest of her existence. But the main reason she was game for this little fate-challenging adventure was to fix that very problem.

Despite my longing to probe into the matter further, I forced myself to continue to leave it alone just as I had been doing for the past month. SJ and I had made a promise to each other that as long as Blue didn’t bring it up, we wouldn’t bug her about it. An agreement I was seriously trying to respect since I could truly empathize with our friend’s situation. Now that I had a prologue prophecy of my own, it was totally the last thing I wanted anyone to bother me about.

Hmm. Maybe in hindsight of those feelings . . . I could understand Blue’s silence on the subject. At least from a practical standpoint.

I’d been devastated to receive my prologue prophecy. But I’d immediately realized in the ever aftermath that allowing myself to writhe in that distress was pointless. The only thing it would accomplish would be me feeling more miserable.
