"Miss Sparkle," a woman called.
"Yes?"
I'm leaving!
I started running in one direction as fast as I could go, "No! No, no, no, no no!"
I found myself in the school's library, which reminded me of my school's library. It was an open two-floor room with a column in the middle, a desk surrounding it holding twelve picture frames with keyboards and mice. The walls were bookcases, lighting was provided by a glass dome on the ceiling, and there was a photocopier off to the side.
"Where the hell is the card catalog?" I asked myself out loud.
"Can I help you, miss?"
"Where is a catalog?"
She looked at me with a confused expression, "What do you mean?"
"The card catalog? Index listing?" I clarified.
"Oh!" she said, a hand to her head, "Everything's digital. It's on the computer in Seamonkey."
"The only use I have for mine is essays and Doom 3D."
"Hm," she chuckled, "You are oldschool."
"Oldschool?"
"You know, 80s and 90s. When I was your age."
"That refers to Trekkies," I replied, "Yuppies are people from the 80s."
"And 'Retro' refers to the 1960s and 70s for you, Miss Morgendorffer?" a familiar voice said, making me snap around.
When I saw who it was, I nearly peed myself: I was face-to-face with that vampire and what had to be her son. Only this time, their vampire features were recessed, sans each sporting a pair of wings.
"I believe I can help you," she said to me before looking at the librarian, "I believe a rundown of events since the millennium shall suffice Miss Daria's needs, Cheerilee," she looked back at me, "We'll be in my office."
"Yes ma'am, Luna."
Author's Note
What do you think should happen in VP Luna's office? Leave a suggestion in the comments below. I'll give a shoutout and (If I can figure out a way) put you in the story somehow.
Also, give me something to go on for whoever I pick. I don't want to make a character and say, Whistler (made up name from a Windows XP thing) thinks the idea sucks. I know I probably suck at this, but I do want to write something that someone else can enjoy.
