Superlatives, huh? Leaning back in thought, you try to recall what your classmates gave you…
‘<span class="mu-i">Most Likely to Bag a Supermodel</span>’-that’s the one!
“Bullshit.”
Guess she scooped ya that time… no, you sigh, they nominated you as ‘<span class="mu-i">Most Likely to Set a Record in Sprinting!</span>’
“Ya didn’t look that spry when we first met, chief.”
Quiet, you!
“Got photographic evidence to prove it, too.”
Look, you do a lot better on <span class="mu-s">SOLID GROUND,</span> okay? This boat crap? It’s for the birds!
“Yea, the birds could really use a win…” Nods Raj in solemn contemplation. Yea… okay…
Anyways, you sigh, you get a lot of practice delivering <span class="mu-s">’ZZA,</span> especially with those dicks that straddle the ‘<span class="mu-i">Half an Hour Delay and the Pizza’s Free</span>’ policy! You had to hit the rooftops a few times-it ain’t easy!
“And here you are delivering to an island…” Mutters Raj as he nearly falls off his board from a sitting position. “Most serendipitous…”
Yea, nah, you snort, that policy sure as hell didn’t apply to <span class="mu-i">THIS</span> little field trip!
“Speaking of, slick,” Pepper begins as she gives your sleeve a few tugs, “What say we get this show on the road?”
Sure enough, the ferry is already slowing down by the time you realize what’s happening! Stuffing the <span class="mu-s">YEARBOOK</span> into your <span class="mu-s">INVENTORY,</span> you rise to your feet and join your pals in watching your vessel roll into port!
Drifting past the two ‘<span class="mu-i">arms</span>’ of the artificial cove, you’re greeted by a handful of docks-there’s the metal variety, of course-the ones that rise and fall with the tides, and then there’s the permanent concrete ones-their surfaces scrubbed clean of algae and barnacles. Upon seeing your ferry, several dockworkers rush like ants to tie it down as the intercom once more blares across the deck!
‘<span class="mu-s">ATTENTION PASSENGERS: NOW IS THE TIME TO DISEMBARK. AGAIN, PLEASE SWEEP THE AREA FOR ANY PERSONAL BELONGINGS BEFORE LEAVING THE VESSEL USING THE PROVIDED EXITS!</span>’
Hoisting your <span class="mu-s">PIZZA PACK</span> onto your shoulders, you immediately remember why you put the damn thing on the floor in the first place!
“You good, bro?” Asks Raj as he places a reassuring hand on your shoulder. “I can grab some if you want!”
Nah, you groan as you try to ignore the bemused look on Pepper’s face, you got this! Leading the charge towards the exit, you can already see a few people leaving the boat: there’s Terra and Ayla, of course, but you must have missed a person or two!
Amidst a smattering of other grad bash-goers you notice a girl with skin whiter than milk, bright-red hair reaching down to her waist, and a black shirt that shows off her pale midriff above a red plaid skirt!
How the hell did you miss the <span class="mu-s">GOTH!?</span>
