Aes Sedai High School
by sidious
High school Aes Sedai are having a chat on the lawn…
Kim : I can’t believe, Belinda. Did you guys see her streith? It was like some sort of nightmare out of Comelle.
Sara : Oh totally. And what’s the deal with her wearing streith anyway. She’s a total lard ass. I felt it was my responsibility to force her to turn it blue or anything which covered that sight.
Jane : Yeah, your comment about her screw up in Earth class was damn funny.
Sara : Thanks, but seriously, have you ever seen such a lame attempt at soil alchemy? I mean, she was more likely to burn herself out than form a pane of glass from that rock.
Kim : Well that’s not all. I heard from Randy who heard from his friend in Talent class that she’s totally uncontrolled in Tel’aran’rhiod. He said that her clothes changed all the time, especially when she was around him.
Sara : Agh, she’s such a disgrace. We should link and sever her. It would be good for the Aes Sedai. Imagine a normal civilian saw a monster like her and thought we were all the same.
Kim : Yeah, we should.
Jane : We don’t know how to sever people.
Sara : Jane, if you can’t…
Jane : Or link, so you’re talking out of your ass again Sara.
Sara : Just because you can Heal, doesn’t mean you get the right to be a total cow, Jane.
Jane : Says who? We both know you two would die to have the major Talent.
Sara : Well I’m stronger than you, and I’ll bet that grates your pretty little nose late at night.
Kim : Guys, cut it out. Belinda is our enemy here.
Sara : You’re right, Kim. Jane, I’m sorry. You’re like my best friend ever. *hugs*
Jane : You too. *hugs*
Kim : Oh my word, did you guys see who walked past? It was the new guy, Jaric.
Sara : So? He’s not even good looking.
Jane : Yeah, there’s nothing there.
Kim : Well I heard from a friend in Shields class who heard from two guys in the locker room that he’s really strong. I’m not talking strong-enough-to-sleep-with-despite-a-gross-body, I’m talking about top strength. I even heard that his latest jump put him into Companion strength.
Jane : No way!
Kim : Rick says that the guy is hiding an angreal to make himself strong and popular, but everyone knows that’s bull. Rick’s just jealous anyway – he’s weaker than some of us.
Jane : Ha ha … talk about a half-man.
Sara : Yeah. Actually that new guy seems kinda appealing. I wonder what classes he takes.
Kim : Well, apparently he’s going for the top. We’re talking about a full Hall scholarship. But here’s the thing – his parents are low class trash. Never had a third name in their history. Dad is a low level cuendillar tester. Mother can’t even channel.
Jane : Damn, I don’t know if it’s worth the effort even.
Sara : Are you kidding? Best guy I ever managed to land was a Paaren Disen pre-engineer. He could pull a nugget of gold from under a mountain. Do you know how popular I was for those five months – I was going out with Mr Shiney.
Jane : So what are we going to do?
Kim : Illusion?
Sara : No stupid. How am I going to walk around under a weave while going out with the guy? Besides if he touches me, it will expose me.
Kim : Ew! You’ll touch him!?
Sara : He’s a guy, you fool. Guys only want one thing.
Kim : Not the academic types. His future is everything to him, and probably his dad too. I’ll bet the pressure is huge. Maybe you can offer him something?
Jane : A mixed link?
Kim : No, we don’t know how to, remember. How about a fantasy ter’angreal? Guys always love those.
Sara : Yeah, but I suck at that stuff.
Jane : I can do it. But in exchange you must do my Travelling Philosophy – for a year.
Sara : Bitch. Fine… deal.
Jane : Deal. Starting now… do I look like I care about skimming advances in M’Jinn?
Kim : I’m off ladies… have a good day. My eyeshadow weave is unraveling and I need to tie it off before my next class. See ya.
Jane : Bye Kimmy!
…
Jane : She’s such a fake.
Sara : Totally.
