The Ever

Katezmira marveled at her plate. One second it had been empty, and now it was holding ice cream, mousse, cake, chocolate, cheesecake, and everything else remotely sweet. She was sitting at a round table with a pink tablecloth, crystal silverware, and a bouquet of roses in a glass vase at the center. Next to her was Victoria and on the other side Ruby, and Violet was across from them. They all dug in.

“The best part,” Victoria said, after swallowing a dainty spoonful of ice cream, “Is that this food is enchanted to be healthy. So you’ll never get sick of the sugar, because there isn’t any, it only tastes like it.”

Katezmira was not sure if she believed this. The food was better than any she had ever had before, but as Victoria said, even after eating all the ice cream and chocolate, she didn’t feel remotely sick.

“This place is amazing! I can’t believe this is actually happening.” Katezmira said for the fifth time that afternoon.

Victoria laughed. “It’s no wonder you got picked to be the reader, Kat. You’re so nice, and so pretty, you’re like Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella put together.” Ruby and Violet agreed. Kat felt herself start to blush.

“Aw, thanks! Really just by saying that you proved you’re nicer than I am.” She said, trying to repay the exotic compliment. The rest of the evening went like that, and Kat was astonished at how amazingly nice the other girls proved to be, time and time again.

It was going to be a wonderful school year.
