If There's a Future [PANNY]

[katrina narissa wilcott]

Classes were boring.

That was a universal fact that, no matter how hard a person might try, could not be ignored nor denied. Classes were useless, and boring. Katrina didn't want to be bored anymore. So what were classes useful for, other than that? Sure, there was learning. But she didn't need any of that shit! She was smart enough to get by! She had her sarcasm and dry sense of humor to see her though life almost without the need for anything else. She could always get a job as an actress, or a musician, or a dancer, or something fun, something that didn't need intelligence.

So, of course, what else could she do but skip? She really hated Potions class, seeing as the chemistry of it all was just too complex for her to understand. She hated the stupidity of the class. No one needed to know how to make someone immensely happy using a potion. Being a good person was enough, surely! Anything that a potion could do, a person could do twice as well. If not, more. So why was a class even needed for it? Unless it actually taught useful things, like hangover cures and such, which weren't on the syllabus. As lame as that was. Kat couldn't do anything about it, though.

So, yes, skipping was the safest option. That was, until she got caught by the French Teacher. Which, y'know, wouldn't have been so bad had she not looked so guilty for having to give her detention. Kat would have much rather spent time in detention for skipping potions than actually being in potions. So, with a comment along the lines of "I don't give a fuck, don't look so guilty" to the woman, she took the slip with a grin, and wandered down to the detention hall. She twirled into the room, sitting at a desk at the front of the room, and began her wait for the hour to go by.

Pandora had been trying not to cut class. Honestly. But as she was on her way to charms she just.. Decided to not keep walking down the corridor. Now, don't get her wrong. It wasn't that she didn't like charms. As a matter of fact, it was her best subject, it was just.. She just really couldn't be bothered to go. Not to mention she was tired. Thank you eighteen cupcakes keeping her awake last night. Stepping outside and into the sun, she smiled softly. Yes. It was far too nice a day to go to lessons. But then horror music began to play in her head. She saw the one woman who actually scared her.

Miss Themis Sicarus. The Governess. The woman who hated her guts.

Their eyes connected. Blue on blue. Pandora watched her. The vampire's eyes narrowed before striding toward the witch. And Pan had an urge to run. But she didn't. Instead she tossed her platinum hair out of her face and waited for the bitch to approach. "Miss Hearth. You're meant to be in charms, yes?" she paused but continued just as Pan opened her mouth "detention. Now. Two hours. I will go and retrieve your work myself".

Pandora rolled her eyes and made her way to the detention hall. And all she had wanted to do was enjoy the sun. A sigh escaped her lips as her walk turned into a skip. Well. It seemed detention was going to be graced with her presence again. It had been far too long.

Walking into the room she grinned as she saw her seat was still free. She nodded at the warden, who just rolled his eyes. "Two weeks? New record" he spoke. Pandora grinned. Yes. It had been two weeks since she'd had a detention. Finding her seat, she put her feet up on the desk and just smiled to herself. Then she saw the woman next to her. The smile widened. "Kat! Such a pleasure to see you here" she spoke. Bitchcarus walked in, placed a paper on her desk before leaving without word. The woman looked irritated. It just made the girl grin. But upon looking at the test, Pan groaned. Turning to Kat. "Charms. I see no.point in going. I'm okay at charms so surely it's fine to skip a few classes? But nooo! Bitchcarus thinks otherwise" she told her new friend.

How long had she been here now? She wasn't exactly sure, but however long it was, the thumb twiddling and pencil tapping and nail biting had already begun. She fidgeted in her chair, sighing, and propped her feet up on the small desk in front of her in an almost cliched "I could not give two fucks about my education so why bother" kind of position. Nothing was really useful to her at this school, anyway. It wasn't like she had a bloodlust she needed to control, or a wolf she needed to keep under wraps, elemental powers that she needed to learn how to use properly. If she had any of those things, then she would understand the need to attend her classes.

But no. No. She was basically just a human with an extra part to her brain. It wasn't as if she needed to learn to control her magic. Not like it raged whenever she got mad. She knew how to control it. It was just a matter of not using it at all. And, besides, where on earth was she ever going to use a potion more complex than a hangover cure? Never. And she didn't even need to know how to make that, she could just have a friend or someone make it for her. There. Problem solved. She didn't want or need to know how to make and use potion. It was a useless commodity. The only two things she really needed were the summoning charm and the shoelaces charm. The latter had always been her favourite prank. Why? Because it was hilarious, duh!

She looked up at the clock, just to gauge how long she'd been in the room. Five minutes. Fuck, was this going to be a long hour.

She heard the click of heels from down the hallway, echoing through the building. Not loud enough for the whole building to hear, obviously but enough for the warden to be aware of it. Katrina could have sworn that she saw him breathe a sigh, give a roll of his jade eyes, before she skipped into the room. The brunette perked up instantly, flashing a grin at the sorceress who had just happened to grace the room with her presence. Pandora Hearth, Katrina's new favourite person in the world like ever. Well, maybe aside from Adam, who she had just so happened to run into lat night. Small world! Kind of.

"Oh, hi there!" she said loudly, earning her a glare and a sharp "Shh!" from the admittedly good looking warden at the front of the room, to which she replied with a giggle and a wave of two fingers in his direction. He didn't even bother to follow it up, just narrowed his eyes and went back to his paperwork. She turned back to the witch in time to see the governess walk out of the room. Oops, she hoped she hadn't seen her response to the warden's instruction.

She waited until the vampire had left before winking at her fellow sorceress and saying "Same, babes. Apparently potions is a compulsory class! Ew. Whyyyy?" She shook her fist up at the sky despairingly whilst saying the last word, and snickered devilishly. "Fuck it, y'know? M' thinking that this is much more fun."

Kat's voice sounded and Pandora laughed. The warden gave her a glare but Pandora knew that he really didn't care. That man enjoyed the chatter - she was sure. He found out about so much gossip at the school. All the people that actually had fun lives ended up in detention, making it the number one place to get gossip. Well, apart from itsdramavale. A website she visited occasionally but didn't really care about much. No one ever gossiped on her. She felt lonely. It would be amusing to see the rumours that were about her spreading around the school.

Kat was lucky. Very lucky. If Themis had seen that gesture.. well.. she wouldn't be having only one detention. Looking down at her paper, she instantly began to draw on the corner of the paper. A column of four X's. Nearly every single paper she was ever given, or a page in her book, ended up with this little trademark of hers. She couldn't help it. It was just always something she did in that moment of boredom between looking at the questions, grimacing in disgust, and then actually doing her work. But, she really didn't feel like doing work today so.. she decided to continue drawing little patterns.

Her attention was grasped by Kat when she spoke of potions. The witch laughed. "You're telling me. Potions sucks. I don't go. Well, I do-ish. Sometimes. If I can be assed. Which is rarely. I swear, I wish it was optional. I'd take extra curses instead of potions" she told her, grinning. Extra lessons with Liam? Now that did seem like fun. She still had a grin on her face as she went back to drawing patterns on the test paper. At least Connor would get something pretty to look at? And the other witch was right. Detention was a lot more fun. At least to her. You got to chat and working was optional. How could one not love detention?

"I've missed detention. As you heard. It's been two weeks since I've been here. Two weeks of actually going to classes. It's been horrible. Though you'd think if you attended all your classes for two whole weeks then surely you could get an hour off to just slack? It's not fair. I have all my classes, then extra magic classes on top of that. So, I can't be bothered to go to one lesson. What's so wrong about that?" she told the girl, then realised she was ranting. Again. It did fustrate her slightly, but then again, the witch didn't sleep

Boredom had started to kick in a little bit before the blonde had entered the room. Katrina had just spent it stealing sneaky glances at the guy in front of her who, admittedly, had the most gorgeous ass. Seriously, it was like God himself had actually created that work of art by hand and not by replication. Granted, she new her ass was probably nicer (because, come on, it was her ass), but that didn't mean no one else could have a nice ass. And this guy definitely had one of those. So she "wasn't supposed to be looking". Sue her. It was pretty, so she was going to look. Free country and all that.

However, as the sound of the girl's heels clicking against the floor sounded, she (reluctantly) tore her eyes away from this guy's butt just to see her walk in. After a conversation with the warden, their own conversation started. Even though the warden so rudely tried to intervene, Katrina could tell that he probably loved to hear about all this stuff. Well come on. He was sat in a room for a full day, doing nothing but paperwork and reading magazines. If she were that poor guy, then she'd much rather have listened to students chatting away, just to see what was going on at the school. That sounded a lot more fun than whatever that poor sod's life was.

"I just... don't bother," the witch admitted, with a cursory wave of her hand. "No point, really. I mean, where am I ever going to use the... the, uhm... the "Lupus Plenilunij Imperium" or-however-that's-pronounced potion, anyway?" She didn't know why sorcerers were even taught that, anyway. It wasn't as if everyone had a wolf that they needed to control, just the werewolves. So why they, all sorcerers, were taught it, she had absolutely no idea. It just... completely sucked as a class, what with it being useless, and just boring anyway.

Woah woah woah woah woah. Hold up. Did Pan actually say that she went to class for a whole two weeks? No. Just no. That was unacceptable. She shook her head at the sorceress' explanation and thought o the matter, and just snickered. "Ahh, poor you," she said. "Buuut I ain't surprised. You been turning up to class so much, they're actually expecting it now. Lame, right?"

Pan let out a laugh at Kat's words. Not bothering did sound like fun. Maybe she'd stop going to potions for the second time himself.. Cain did bug her.. And she had to cope with lessons between him and Andrew. It was horrible. Just horrible. Yes. Skipping sounded like fun. And the girl had a damn point! She wasn't a werewolf. She didn't need to make the Lupus Plenilunij Imperium potion. And who the fuck came up with that name. She rolled her eyes. Why would she put time and effort into making a potion that had no use to her. It would just be wasted energy.

"It's pronounced, Lupus Shitty Potion is Useless Imperium. Didn't you know?" Pandora told the girl with a smirk on her lips "I swear, no potions are useful. Except perhaps the hangover cure, and that Dormientes draught - I'm an insomniac so it's a lifesaver for me. We should be allowed to pick which potions we want to learn, learn them, and then just leave and not have to do potions for the rest of the year. Oh.. I am so pitching that to Cain". Okay, so maybe the Redferne wouldn't be too impressed with that idea but she didn't care. She was going to stick by it. She would only learn those two potions, and then she'd be done. Potions sucked. As soon as she had learnt both the hangover cure and the Dormientes draught she'd stop going to potions. And no one would be able to stop her.

She looked at Kat when she spoke. A laugh left her yet again. God, she was laughing a lot with this girl. Okay, already Pandora could tell that they were going to become rather good friends. Rather good friends indeed. "Holy shit!" she told her, and then got a stern look from the warden to which she gave a grin. Turning back to Kat again "That was my problem wasn't it! I was going so now they're expecting me to show up. No. Nononononono. That isn't good. Kat, help me! I've become.." she froze, could she say it? That horrible, evil word. "G-Good". And with that she let out a cry of despair.

The warden told her to be quiet but she was feeling dramatic now. Laughter burst through her lips. She leant back in her chair, tipping it on two legs as she laughed. "Save me, Katty, save mee!" she told the girl. Tears were actually in her eyes. God, was she drunk? Or high? Maybe the latter.. on life. It had been a while since she'd been this crazy. It was the girl beside her. It was definitely because of the girl beside her. They were brig

Potions class had now become a liability. Half of the potions were certainly never going to be used by her, especially the aptly named "Lupus Shitty Potion is Useless Imperium" (she couldn't help but crack up at that). There was so much by way of potions, though, that needed to be put on the curriculum that the teacher had so stupidly ignored (He had a nice face, though, so he was forgiven). Hangover cures, sleeping potions, poisons! And none of it was there! Well, maybe the sleeping one was, but still!

Oh, god. Best idea ever! Learn the potions that you wanted, that you would find useful, and then not bother with anything else! That would men that Kat would only have to learn abooout... three potions. Three. "Hey." the witch said quietly, her eyes sparkling with what could only be called intense delight. "You need any help pitching? Because, Christ, that sounds beautiful." Beautiful was really the only word that could be used for an idea like that. Because... it was truly amazing.

Being a bad influence was bad. So deliciously, beautifully bad. Not that Kat was the kind of bad person in that she went around mugging people and killing things, but she did have a bit of a reputation as the kind of girl that did what she liked, when she liked. Anyone who didn't like that? They could just get the fuck out, seriously. She was honestly past caring about what anyone else thought. Life was just too short to give a shit. Forget yesterday, live for today, pray for tomorrow. Those were words that the sorceress lived by. Words of wisdom that were easily shared. So what was the harm in sharing her knowledge with a new friend? There wasn't any! There was only fun!

Placing a mask of seriousness over her wide, giggling grin, she looked at her fellow witch directly, grey eyes on blue. She didn't know how long she was going to be able to keep a straight face, because, honestly? She didn't do seriousness; it was so freaking boring! "Listen carefully, my panda-eyed friend," she said, her voice low, a smirk already plastered over her features and her eyes glittering with mischief. "There's only one way I can save you, and that's if you let me save you. And the way you do that is... wait for it..." She leaned towards the witch's ear. "... Skipping classes that aren't worth the trouble." She whispered, a snicker threatening to spill into her voice. "I.e. all of them."
