Chatoyant College, Chatoyant College Interlude: Summer Break

Chatoyant College Interlude: 11, 12, and 13

11: Corrie to Edie and Dawn

YES!!! I knew they’d figure it out!

12: Edie to Corrie and Dawn

You both got the email, right? What a relief.

Not a lot of details, though. I hope they’ll tell us what they’ve figured out to make the campus safe. Maybe they won’t tell the whole student body, but we can go talk to Professor Lal and make her tell us.

13: Dawn to Corrie and Edie

Wow, they cut that close, didn’t they? I was afraid it was going to be bad news when it got so late in the day without any word, but the email finally came out. I might have been a little distracted at work checking my personal email, but there’s never enough work to fill up my time anyway. (Sorry, I may have complained about that a hundred times already.)

I just hope they’ve really done it right. Maybe we can get them to explain their system to us so we can poke any loopholes and they can fix them.

Of course, we know how to keep ourselves safe, even if their plan is full of loopholes. And maybe now that everyone knows about faeries, they’ll also learn to keep themselves safe—even if we have to teach them.

Now I know for sure I can say, see you two in the fall! I’m looking forward to having you as roommates!

Chatoyant College Interlude: 7: Dawn to Naomi

Yeah, most of the time that I haven’t been at work, I’ve been spending at Pru’s house. Allergy meds help, but I still have a hard time breathing by the time I get ready for bed at night. The problem is Princess is just too sweet—she wants to love on me all the time. To get into my room, I have to either make sure she’s distracted with food or attention from my parents, or push her with my foot while I open and shut the door. That is one determined cat.

I attached a picture. Isn’t that the ugliest squished face you’ve ever seen? I don’t know if she’s part Persian or what. Their vet thinks so, but they haven’t done a DNA test.

Chatoyant College Interlude: 6: Corrie to Dawn

Hey Dawn,

No, I told my mom the whole story. I’d already told her about the faeries a while back, though. I’d tried to keep them a secret, but it’s impossible for me to hide things from my mom. I knew she’d freak out a lot more if she thought that I had dropped out of college than if she knew the truth, so I had to make sure she knew why I might not be going back in the fall!

Chatoyant College Interlude: 4: Charlie to Corrie

Hey Corrie,

I got the job! That was so fast, I don’t even know if it’s the right thing to do. I mean, I obviously, as you know perfectly well, didn’t expect to get any job this quickly, let alone such a good one. My mom says it’s because I’m such a hard worker and I’ve been very diligent about sending out resumes, but… I haven’t, really. Not that I’ve admitted that to her. I just got lucky.

Chatoyant College Interlude: 3: Roe to Annie

Annie,

I think it’s going to be a very straightforward summer. I had a vision this afternoon. It was of me sitting at the kitchen table in my house, eating toast and scrambled eggs. That’s the same thing I had for breakfast this morning. So if my magic-brain can’t come up with anything more interesting than THAT to warn me about…
