OBEDIENCE SCHOOL P.3: Okay…so…do you know the feeling you get when your being pressed on each side by some vicious-looking kids, who stare at you while sharpening their knives with rather monstrous looking expressions on their faces? Well, that is what is happening to me right. Now.
Sussana: (Sweating) (Clutching on the carriage that is moving them towards a large castle) I’m sorry, but can you move over a little? I’m literally squashed right now… (Shrivels under sharp scowls)
Caroline: (Enjoying herself) Let those kids LIVE, SuHANNA!
Sussana: (Indignantly) My name is Sussana, and you know it!
A large sound of a trumpet echoes nearby. We gasp as we come up to a large, black castle with many pillars and towers in it. There’s a river filled with a large squid at the bottom, and the kids in my carriage mutter that it’s rumored that the headmaster “Doring Everson” throws kids who don’t behave to this squid. I want to punch them and tell them to shut up, but I don’t have a sword or even a SHIELD, and I don’t want to have any broken bones before I get home for the winter breaks.
We barely trample over the river on a less-than-sturdy bridge, and a kid in my carriage named Thomason Pudge looks frightened to death. He seems nice enough, so I try to console him.
Sussana: Cheer up, Thomason! We’re almost over the bridge!
Thomason Pudge: (Wrinkling his face) Don’t call me Thomason, just call me THOMAS. OKAY??? And besides, this bridge gives me the creeps; it’s like watching mom and dad hug and kiss, and it’s TEN TIMES WORSE than watching my older brother FART.
Caroline: Agreeable.
Sussana: (Enviously) I can’t believe you actually HAVE parents.
Thomas (Thomason): (Incredulously) You DON’T have parents?
Sussana: (Shrugging) Well, yeah. I’ve been living with my sisters for that long, so…
Thomas: (Quietly) Ohh. Sorry.
It’s kind of quiet in the carriage as we get closer to the entrance of the palace. I can see a large force field where hundreds of deadly weapons are standing, and where bulky people are fighting with GUSTO. Caroline looks like she’s having the time of her life, and Thomas just looks HORRIFIED. Our carriage drags along the field which is flat and ugly; Cora huddles up in her seat, as a bunch of dirty-looking kids aim for our hot, buttered bread, and strawberry cream-cheese cake, with some milkshake that looks like it has KIMCHI in it. I get my proof of my suspicions when we stumble in front of the kitchen and march inside, with Agni at the lead. There’s a man wearing thick glasses, standing in front of a wooden desk, and rolling a piece of moldy ol’ kimchi like a pizza dough or a basketball. We scrunch up our noses, as he mantically rolls up the kimchi, making a scrunch noise heard over the bustle of students.
Head cook, Kimchi Milkshake inventor, Lucas (related to kimchi) Cooke (Mr. Patrick): (Singing loudly) I luuuuuuveeee kimchi milkshakes~~~~ ‘cause they’re funnnnn to eatt andddd…..
Agni: (Shouting) COOKE!!
Lucas Cooke: (Dropping frying pan on his foot, starts) Ye..yes?? Is it a student coming to ruin my stand? Then on the name of this frying pan (which is K.M. standing for kimchi milkshakes) I will get you, my pretty, and…OHH!! Beekin! Arc!
Kayleen: (Sighing) You’ve met your cook now. I’ll lead you up the chambers from now on, with my keys of course…
Caroline: What are we even going to drink over here? I’m thirsty!
Lucas: (Sternly) Well, you’d better toughen your body up, ‘cause you’re going to be livin’ on these for the next few hundred years.
Awesome story, Yoonseo! I saw this days ago but somehow the comment thingy didn't come out, so I couldn't write any comments... Besides, I am horrified now that I have to eat kimchi milkshakes in the obedience school... Poor Sussana and Caroline and Thomas and... many other students...
Besides, Yuni DOES have parents, so don't get me wrong😅
