Luigi's P.O.V
After Mario and I had gone our separate ways, I began to head straight to the library. As I was walking along the oddly deserted hallways, it suddenly felt like I was being followed.
Pausing for a moment, I glanced behind me; there was nothing but blue lockers and classroom doors. I started to walk again, but much more swiftly.
When I finally reached the library, I sighed in relief. That relief went away at once; suddenly the lights went out. I tried to open the door that led to the library, but it was locked.
In fear, I backed up against the door, there was no use in running, and I couldn't see a thing. It seemed like hours as I waited there breathlessly.
Suddenly, I felt the door of the library open, and I was pulled inside.
Mario's P.O.V
"Pauline, I thought you said we were going to Starbucks." I say standing beside my crush, who was looking at a frilly red dress through a window in a shop.
"We are Mario, right after I see how much this dress costs." Pauline said excitedly as she stepped inside the shop. I sighed and shrugged going in right behind her.
The shop was very small, compared to the places Pauline usually goes to buy clothing. When I looked up at the ceiling, I saw a beautiful chandelier. The shop had a magnificent set of clothing.
Pauline and I approached the store clerk, who was staring at herself in the mirror for some apparent reason. She was an old woman with long, grey hair that came to her back. She wore a button downed orange shirt, which was tucked inside her long, green skirt. Her shoes were black and very old fashioned.
Without having to get her attention, she turned to face us, a warm yet creepy smile spread across her face. "Why hello there young ones, is there anything I can do for you?" Although she seemed kind, I felt very uncomfortable.
Pauline on the other hand didn't look uneasy at all. "Yes, I was wondering how much that adorable red dress hanging from the window costs." She said looking at the dress again; I could tell she really wanted it judging by her longing expression.
"Oh, I just got that in dearie, I haven't put a price on it yet. Come back tomorrow and it'll be on sale.
"Why did she have the dress on display if it wasn't even on sale?" I ask Pauline as we were drinking lattes in Starbucks. We were sitting by a large window close to the entrance.
Pauline shrugged and responded, "Maybe she just wants to attract customers Mario." She took a sip of her latte.
I shook my head in confusion, but didn't say anything more. Pauline giggled, which caused my cheeks to turn pink.
Luckily she hadn't noticed, instead she asked, "So, how's Luigi doing?" "He's fine, he went to the library for study block today, I respond looking out the window.
Suddenly, an eerie feeling came over me; I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Pauline noticed my worried expression and asked, "Mario is everything alright?"
I couldn't bring myself to lie to her so I shook my head and said, "You know how they say siblings can sense when they're in trouble?" Pauline took one last sip of her latte and nodded.
"Do you want to head back to the school and see if he's alright?"
I nodded.
