 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Katy smiled hugely when Althea slid into the seat beside her, and she leaned over to bump shoulders with the taller girl. It was amazing that Althea recognized who she was supposed to be, but more importantly, it was amazing that she liked it! Some people would feel mocked, although Katy obviously only had the utmost respect for Kenning Number Two. "I figured if you were gonna be Cat-y, then I'd better be Althea."
And then class began, and Katy's attention was consumed by the apples on the desk in front of her. Candied apples, pristine and delicious and just the slightest bit sticky. And one hundred percent not allowed, if her mother had anything to say about it. She picked up her quill and leaned in close, studying the apples from an inch away. Counting the spots and freckles and bruises. Checking the symmetry. Observing the thickness of the candy coating across the whole surface. Hmm.
She sat up suddenly and jotted a few notes to herself. The apple on the right was too perfect, the coating too even. The smells were the same, as far as she could tell, although the right one seemed almost overripe and the scent was slightly sweeter. Was that because it had been aged magically and perhaps a bit too much? Interesting.
