He finally go back around to Becca, raising an eyebrow as he finally dropped back into his seat. "You have a particularly retro vernacular, Becca Parker. Where did you learn to speak like that?" Becca continued to put up the wall and act like she was the coolest cat in town. "Eh," she shrugged, "I just picked it up over time. My best friend back home talks like that all the time. Y'know, using words like... snazzy, rad, gnarly. But I haven't adapted the use of gnarly... I'm not really fond of that word. I pretty much spent every day this summer with her, so it rubbed off on me." Her face fell to a sort of half-frown. Becca was really going to miss her best friend. They had some really exciting adventures in the past few months. Quote:

Becca stared the boy, then threw a puzzled look to Copernicus. Her mind went blank. The invisibility charm, huh? She ... didn't remember that. "Take it away, Copernicus," she shrugged, pocketing her hands unhelpfully.
