Sorry, mum. He had to see what Sourpuss was up to. He sidestepped, putting himself behind the tall form of someone's father, and kept his eyes on Sourpuss...
...who was now moving back this way. He was gonna get caught! Jay's eyes widened and he pulled the brim of his hat down, trying to hide under it and look as inconspicuous as possible as he shuffled back a bit more behind the father person. Eyes on the ground now, he thought he caught a flicker of something moving... but it could have been some woman's incessantly shiny black shoes.
:: Ganymede could hear a few shrieks here and there, but the snake for the most part went unnoticed. Something that certainly caught her eye was some kid staring at her. Just for a moment. He had on a black hat. Some silly kid with a hat... that she nearly knocked off. The back of her neck was tingling. He definitely was tailing her. She turned and quickly spun behind a crowd, she would surprise him. That would give her the upper hand.
Speaking of upper hands, her upper arm was suddenly grabbed and she was spun back around. Her plan to surprise the boy was foiled, instead she was the one surprised. She was staring at someone she didn't expect to see till summer next year.
"This is yours isn't it you little imp?" The angry man looked like a older male version of Ganymede. His hair was the same shade of purple, his eyes sparkled an angry green. He was a bit peeved and was holding her rubber snake. On the ground beside him was a sack, a rainbow tail stuck out the top.
Ganymede schooled her face, "Hello Sir. What's in the bag?" She wiggled out of his hold and he picked up the sack. His face softened and he dropped the rubber snake. It coiled up next to the sack.
"You forgot your unicorn kitty. What's this things name?" He pulled it out and held it to her chest so she could grab it.
Ganymede was mortified, she quickly took the plushy and shoved it into her messenger bag.
"It's name is Ellie Kit... Sir. Thank you." She blushed from her ears to her toes.
He nodded. A slight smile played on his lips.
"Alright. I expect you to conduct yourself like a proper young lady. Keep busy with your studies and try to join many clubs. I want you to be well rounded. Don't even allow yourself to get bored." His tone was stern, but near the end of his spiel, he whispered under his breathe
"I should have sent the school a warning letter..."
Ganymede didn't make out that last part, but her "Yes Sir's" in understanding about the rest were well received by the man.
He patted her on the arm he grabbed earlier, then he turned his heel and was off.
Ganymede sighed in relief. He had left the snake. ::
