Vital Vocab 16

(UPDATE: I forgot to wish you kids a Happy Holidays!)

UPDATE: on a completely unrelated note, Bicycle came out with some "Eco
Edition" cards, which I think look really cool, and Anthony might use them.

Yeah, it really doesn't help me get more readers when I don't post for over three weeks.  I had Vital Vocab 15 due back on December 16th, but I was so preoccupied with getting other assignments in before Christmas Break that I completely forgot about it.  I'm sorry, guys.  I have to continue with my story tonight for a grade, so I'll have to leave Fifteen behind, maybe saving the words for some odd upload later.

Anyways, I like this one much better than my last few uploads.   I hope you all do, too.

Isaac Bade-
     A little while and some-odd pages later, a group of teenaged girls came giggling in and inundated a nearby aisle, looking for some movie.  A volunteer came out and tried to quiet them down, but they passed her by with complete irreverence.  I waited a few minutes for them to go, but as the girls began to get sidetracked by various other movies and the high school's latest gossip, I decided they might be a while.  I slipped my things back into my bag and headed towards the check-out desk; I'd been here long enough anyway.
     "Hey, Isaac."  I looked up and smiled.  The check-out person ((is there an official job title for those people?)) today was Ava, a short blonde whom I knew from school.  "Looking for Alaska, huh?  Lucky timing; you usually have to put John Green on hol--"
     "Hey can I check this out?" a girl interjected, nearly shoving me aside to reach the counter.  Ava stared at her coldly, harshly, silently, insinuating all that was awful with just a look.
     "Aah...right...."  She slunk away past some bookshelves to whisper - finally, whisper - to her friends, looking back reproachfully at us.
     "Honestly, I should kick them out," Ava said, scanning my book and card.  "They're certainly instigating it.  Anyways, here you are."  She printed out a receipt with the due date and I stuck it in as a bookmark.  "But ah, can you wait a minute?  I think Mrs. Hewett wanted to talk to you about something."  Mrs. Hewett was the head librarian...person.  I nodded, and Ava ran off, disappearing into a back room.
