With Pearl
You don't normally wake up five feet off the ground, do you? If that's so, why is this happening to me?
So, to catch you guys up, I wake up with Emerald's metal hand wrapped around my hips and holding me up in the air. And for some reason, no one was helping me.
"Mind explaining what's going on?" I asked Emerald. Diamond and Ruby were there too. Diamond was munching on a steaming hot pocket and Ruby looked ticked off and the hair under his hat seemed to be sticking out. He sleeps with that thing on? Emerald's croissant hair wasn't a croissant anymore and instead was down and he didn't seem too happy either. Outside the window was a vast space of darkness, meaning it was nighttime.
"Oh, I don't know," Emerald said sarcastically. "Why don't you look around the room?"
I frowned, confused by his words and looked around. My eyes widened. The clean, perfect bedroom from yesterday was now gone. Now it was covered in shattered glass and burnt holes through things. "What happened?"
"You went on one of your sleep rampages," Diamond's muffled voice informed.
"Oh god…" I looked back at the three people. They probably already found out. Diamond already knew but the other two… I was planning to stay hidden until the end of the year but now one of these guys might want to…
Ruby sighed. "You ruined my beauty sleep. You know I can't get this beautiful face just by doing careless things like missing sleep! This is essential!"
"Me too," Emerald yawned. "You know how loud you were? You could've woken up the neighbors." Eh? I'm so confused.
"But don't worry, we won't tell anyone that you're a Mythic," Ruby said, yawning and walking back to his bed.
"Wait!" I wiggled out of Emerald's grasp. "Are you guys not going to try and make ties with me?"
Ruby adjusted his hat that was starting to slip off his head. He looked me straight in the eye. "Look, I know this school is meant for making ties, but I have a reason to not want to bond with you. I don't even really want to get a Bond actually and I have a reason."
"Same for me," Emerald stated.
"And I decided long ago that I didn't want to make ties with you because we wanted to find someone who we actually want to make ties with," Diamond added.
Emerald pushed me towards my bed and went to go on his own bed. "Now that we got this covered, go back to bed. We have a full day ahead of us." Emerald smirked at me. "Don't be blowing anything else up, Mr. Sorcerer." And he turned the lights off.
-AT 6:00-
After finishing my piece of toast, I grabbed my bag and zoomed into the halls. Emerald and Ruby acted like nothing happened this morning so I guess I have to play along and act like nothing happened too. I, being a sorcerer and all like what Emerald said, cleaned the destruction that had become of our room this morning. And I'm surprised that Emerald and Ruby watched me do it like it was an everyday thing for them. Which makes me think, are those two Mythics?
I know for sure that Diamond is 100% human and I have eleven years of memory to prove it. I guess I should be glad that Ruby and Emerald won't tell anyone. Or at least if they keep their promise. Well I guess they didn't really promise. I don't know why I'm stressing myself so much with this. I need to think about something else. Uhh, it's a beautiful day isn't it?
Just then, the morning announcements began. :
"Good morning, Mythical Academy students. Hope you all are having a nice start to your second day. We have some breaking news. Two human students have been found dead near the café, one stabbed and one decapitated."
Everybody in the halls started to look at each other and murmur and panic. They stopped moving in the halls right when the speaker said "dead". I stood there wide-eyed. The person behind the morning announcements chuckled, causing everyone to be silenced.
"You might not have known, but this is just the beginning."
Everyone in the hall gasped.
"The staff here at Mythical Academy won't do anything because this will be happening more often." I could almost hear her smirk. "If you thought you can make it through your everyday lives here simply by going to class, you're dead wrong. The Mythics here are allowed to kill any student they want here at their desire, the minimum being one person per day. The Mythic who murdered these two girls passed the limit but I'll let them off the hook this one time. Thank you for your time and have a good day."
Everyone was silent. They were all immobilized by what they heard. Now that I think about it, when I was captured and brought to this place years ago, they mentioned something about being on guard at all times. Is this what they meant?
"What are guys standing around for? GET TO CLASS!" The announcements person ordered. Everyone in the hallways awoke from their daze and started to scramble around to get to their classes.
I broke free from my frozen state and walked towards my first class. Math.
With Platina
If you haven't noticed, I don't really talk. I don't really like the idea of communicating with people with words and getting to know them and build a friendship. But having friends like Sapphire and Blue can be nice. At times.
But, not liking to talk isn't the only reason I don't talk. My main reason is
I can't talk.
Don't get me wrong, I can understand languages. To be truthful, I can understand over fifteen languages. And I can actually talk, but only in a particular setting. If you're confused, probably showing you my current position will give you a better understanding.
Classes have already finished and most people have gone to the baths. But being in water in front of people I don't know could probably cause some havoc. So, I normally go to a little cove some ways away from the academy's main building but still in the academy's boundaries. No one has ever come to this place so this became a regular spot for me to relax before dinner and after classes.
I stood at the shore of the water. After cautiously looking around, I submerged my entire body it. So, now's the time where you find out why I don't want to take baths with anyone other than myself.
After a few seconds of being in the water, the water's surface began to bubble slightly. And through the clear surface of the water, I saw my legs start to merge together and grow scaly. After about a minute, my legs and feet had fully transformed into a tail. I let out a sigh, "That feels so much better."
If you haven't figured it out, I'm a siren. And that explains the tail and the reason why I can't talk anywhere else other than in the water. My voice belongs to the sea and only the sea. But it always gets tiring if you can't use your vocals for an entire day and your throat gets kind of…what's the word…sore? I don't really know if that's the correct word to describe it but I know it feels weird. Especially for sirens since their purpose in life is to use their voices. In bad ways.
But right now, I don't really have interest in doing those pointless things that most of my species uses their voices for. I just like singing. Just not in front of anyone but myself. I took a deep breath and let my voice do the rest.
"You're alone, you're on your own, so what? Have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours? Glass half empty, glass half full, well either way you won't be going thirsty. Count your blessings not your flaw." As my voice reverberated around the cove, the water responded around me and started to dance around me. Aquatic creatures started to circle around my tail, listening to my voice through the water. "You've got it all, you lost your mind in the sound. There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown. You're in control, rid of the monsters inside your head. Put all your faults to bed, you can be king again."
I took in another breath and opened my mouth to sing the next verse. Then I heard a pebble roll behind me. I halted. The water around me stopped swaying and all the fish around me dispersed back to where they came from. I stood there, floating in the water, scared to see what was behind me. I have to face it, don't I? I slowly revolved around. Please let that have been an animal or the wind. As I got close to seeing what it was, my pleads got more loud in my head. Please. I don't want anyone to see me like this.
I guess heaven didn't hear my pleas. My eyes, which normally held no emotion, widened with fear. There, on the shore, stood a boy. Staring at me. For the second time in my life, a human heard my voice.
With Diamond
Few minutes before
Bad news. I ran out of sweets. And can you believe Pearl blamed me and said that he "told me to restrain myself from eating too much"? Yes, it may be a little bit true, but can you blame me? I'm sure you all have eaten something and just couldn't stop until it was all gone. That's the same with me with all sweets.
Pearl, annoyed by my whines and cries for sweets, told me there was a café somewhere around here. So I started to follow a path. But, I started to daydream about sweets(what? Can you blame me?) and went off the path.
And some more bad news, I couldn't find the path again. Oh, this is just great Diamond. Why can't you use your god damn head for once! Oh, meet my inner voice. I don't even know how he came to life in my head, he acts nothing like me. And he always criticizes everything I do in life. This place is so big! I'll never be able to find my way back! I bent down and started to pout. That's your fault Dia. If you had just stopped daydreaming, we would have been at the café by now. I realized something. Wait, if I never find my way back, I looked around the place I was in, I'll never eat any sweets again! I jumped back onto my feet. That cannot happen! And with the thought that I might not ever eat sweets again, a burst of adrenaline filled my veins and I zoomed away.
I guess I followed my gut and made a bunch of random curves. My gut is probably not functionally correctly from the lack of food in my body, because I am sure that this isn't the café. Instead, my shoes brushed against sand and the sound of waves softly hitting the shore met my ear. I was in a small cove, but even though it was small, the view it gave was beautiful. A clear image of the moon appeared it the cloudless sky and was mirrored on the water. The wet rocks shimmered from the moonlight and made them look like stars.
This may not be a café, but I guess I got to thank my gut for bringing me here, even though I would still like a café. Maybe I should just stay here for a while and enjoy the view. As I admired the view, my admiring was interrupted by a voice.
"You're alone, you're on your own, so what? Have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours?" the voice sounded enchanting and alluring, but at the same time eerie and haunting. It wasn't only the sound of the singer that caught my attention, but the actual song. It sounded so… familiar. I looked around, searching for the source of the tune as it continued to be sung. Then I saw it.
A feminine figure appeared some ways away from the shore. Indigo blue hair cascaded down her back and her back faced me. "You can be king again," she sang. I felt a pang in my heart. I feel like I creep, I should leave her be. I attempted to move my foot back, but for some reason, it went forward instead. Wait, what?
I think that the sound of my feet sinking into the sand was louder than it should've been, because the girl froze, despite being, like 25 feet away. As she froze, I froze too. Some time passed and during that time, I debated on whether I should stay there or just walk away. I guess I didn't think fast enough, because the girl started to slowly turn around. When my eyes met with her gold eyes, I felt captivated by her.
She…she looks so beautiful. Her eyes widened. Like a princess. Her mouth formed the word "no" and she started to back away from me and towards the sea.
"Wait!" I called out. To my surprise, she actually stopped. "Did I scare you? I'm sorry." From where she was, I saw her slowly shake her head side to side. Well, I didn't scare her. That's a good thing. "You have very beautiful voice, you know?" I complimented loud enough so she could hear me clearly.
Her shoulders tensed up and started to back away again, shaking her head. Is she very self-conscious about her voice? I wondered. Now that my legs weren't frozen like before, I move towards the water.
Her breathing looked like it sped up and she started to back away quicker. Isn't she going a bit too far? I thought. I narrowed my eyes to see her more clearly. Isn't that were the boundary line i-?
The girl's body stopped and looked as if was given a shock. A hidden wall started to become visible where the girl hit it. My eyes widened. She's hurt! As quickly as I could, I threw off my hat and took off my jacket and shirt, leaving me bare chest. And then, I dived in.
Those swimming classes Mom forced me to go to are paying off. Kicking the water behind me with great force, I swam across the surface while doing a front hand stroke. I got to where the girl fell. I look a deep breath and plunged into the water. The water was pretty deep, considering the girl was still drifting down and there was still no bottom to be seen.
I reached my arm out to her and grabbed her hand. I stared in shock at her hand, or at least what used to be a hand. Her skin had transformed into scales, running from the bottom of her chest to the tips of her fingers, but not going higher than her neck. And from her waist down was a tail. A siren.
But didn't have time for that now. I tugged on her arm and brought her into my arms, bridal style. And before I knew it, we were back on the shore. After a while of being out of the water, the girl's scales started to dissipate and her body looked like a normal female body. Without clothes.
I frantically turned around in embarrassment, my face warm and red, and looked around for her clothes. When I spotted a bunch of clothes, I ran towards them and tried my best to put them on the girl without looking at anything. I let out my breath that I didn't realize I was holding when I was finished and looked back at the girl. Why was she backing away? What was she afraid of? I reached under her and touched where she hit the wall.
She flinched. Her face scrunched up in pain and she started to stir in her sleep. "That must've really hurt, didn't it?" I asked the girl, knowing that she wouldn't answer. As her face relaxed, my face eased as well. I brushed a finger across her cheek and a name slipped out of my mouth, "Missy." I blinked in surprise and pulled back my hand. Missy? Who's that? The girl moved in her sleep. Maybe I should bring her to the nurse's office first. I lifted her off the ground and carried her towards the academy's main building, which I suddenly remembered the direction of.
-At the Nurse's Office-
"She seems to be stable now. If you hadn't been there, her back might've stayed on the wall and left her being shocked constantly," Nurse Joy informed, turning around from her monitor and faced me. "Thank you for bringing her here right away." Nurse's Joy's Bond, a caladrius (healing bird), walked in the room and made her way towards the girl's body. "Chansey, if you would please."
Chansey nodded and smiled reassuringly at me before changing into her bird form and flapping over the siren. Chansey began to chirp and illuminate with a goldish glow. The bird circled above the girl, causing the girl to glow too. After a few seconds, the bird slowed down her circling and the glow dimmed into nothingness. Chansey perched on Nurse Joy's table and converted back into her human form. "She should be fine now," Chansey guaranteed confidently. "When she wakes up, tell her to stay in her room for about a day and drink a lot of water and eat lots of fruit and veggies. She's still not fully healed yet."
I guess I have to believe the bird. "Thanks, I'll do just that, you were a great help," I said to her and Chansey smiled at the praise. I looked away from Chansey and looked at the girl. She looked so peaceful.
"We'll leave you two alone," Nurse Joy whispered into my ear before leaving the room with Chansey.
I watched them leave and after they closed the door, my gaze stayed on the door for a while. I looked back at the girl. Now that I think about it, I haven't gotten her name yet. I've just been calling her "the girl". Just as I said that, she furrowed her eyebrows and started to wiggle around in the bed. At first, she looked like she was just adjusting her sleep position, but it started to get out of hand.
Her breathing started to go fast, cold sweat started to form on her body, and she started to kick the blanket around. I started to panic unsure of what to do. Should I get Nurse Joy? But if I do that, I'll have to leave her alone. Intuitively, my arms shot out and pinned her down onto the bed. "It's okay, it's okay. You're just having a nightmare. Just calm down," I said to her, in attempt that it would calm her down. Astonishingly, she actually calmed down. Her body slowly stopped moving and her breathing returned back to normal.
I sighed in relief and sat back down in my chair next to her bed. All I wanted was to get some food and it turns out like this. I looked over at the girl. Well, what's done is done. Suddenly, the girl shot out of her bed, eyes wide. I jumped at the sudden gesture. She turned her head left and right, taking in her surroundings.
"Oh hey, are you okay?" I asked. She jumped at the sound of my voice and looked at me, her eyes widening more. She started backing away from me only to fall off the edge of her bed. "Hey, are you okay?" I went around the bed and saw her with her back against the wall. I walked towards her but she flinched so I stayed back. "Want me to get you the nurse?"
She hesitantly shook her head. "Right, you can't talk, can you?" I remembered back in Mythic History, they said something about sirens making an oath to the ocean that their voices "belonged to the water." The girl took in a quick breath. I began to walk towards her "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Damn it Diamond, you sound like you're talking to a stray cat. The girl, unexpectedly, didn't back away this time. When I got in arms reach, I extended my hand towards her cheek. I placed my hand on her cold cheek and caressed it.
She stared at my arm. Her mouth opened and a sound came out. "Warm," she whispered. She tensed up and pulled back. Her hands went to her throat. "What?" her voice croaked. I was surprised as well, there was no water nearby besides the faucet, but it wasn't even on. Did Mythic History teach us something wrong?
"Maybe hitting the wall caused your vocals to malfunction. The nurse said that you should probably stay in bed for a day or two since you're not fully healed yet. She also said to drink lots of water and eat lots fruits and veggies," I explained to her.
"You may be right," she murmured. Unlike when she was singing at the cove, her voice was very quiet, kind of like Fluttershy from My Little Pony. Don't ask me how I know how she sounds like, Pearl swore my secrecy. She still had her hands at her throat and her body faced away from me.
I moved around so I could see her face. "I never got your name, I'm Diamond."
She looked up and stared at me. "Pla…My name is Platina."
I smiled at her. "Nice to meet you, Platina. I hope we can become friends." Platina seemed to be taken aback from what I said. "Do you want me to walk you to your room?"
"O-okay." She used Nurse Joy's table to support her up to her feet. But once she let go, she tumbled over. Luckily, I caught her in time.
"Maybe I should carry you to your room," I suggested. I swooped her up and walked out the Nurse's Office. Platina started to act a little resistant but finally settled in my arms. "Which way to your room?"
Platina looked around and looked up to me. She pointed straight ahead. We walked around as she pointed out directions and I followed. Finally we arrived at her door. 4,2. Her room is right in front of mine.
She reached into her pocket and brought out her key card. Her door unlocked and I walked inside. I set her on one of her bunk beds. "You should rest now. Maybe you should call one of your room mates to bring you some food for dinner." Platina nodded in response. "Bye then." I waved my hand and left her room. I waited a while before walking to my room. I pulled out my key card and unlocked it.
I walked in and saw Pearl on the couch, tapping his foot rapidly like he does when he's worried. "You okay, Pearl?"
Pearl turned his head around quickly and ran towards me. "Where were you?! I went looking for you at the café and when I showed them a picture, they said they never seen you. You had me worried sick!" Pearl's gaze then drop to my chest. "Holy unicorns! Where is your shirt!?"
I stood there confused until I looked down at my chest. I was shirtless. Why didn't anybody tell me? Nurse Joy? Chansey? Platina? I tried to remember where I had left them. Great Diamond, you left it at the cove. And guess what? You don't remember where it is. Shut up, inner me! "Well at least those were my street clothes, I still have my uniform in the closet," I remembered.
"You were just walking around like that around the campus?" Pearl asked.
"I guess," I shrugged.
Pearl sighed. "You can be such a scatterbrain at times." Pearl's gaze suddenly went to my belly and his eyes widened.
"What?" I raised an eyebrow.
Pearl turned away. "Sorry, I didn't actually expect for you to have," he glanced at me for a second then turned away quickly, "abs." I looked down at my belly. It was true, though most of you might not believe me, I do have abs. But that's nothing to boast about. You know, something worth boasting about is that I won the bean bun eating contest against world champions this one time in my home town. Yep, those were the days. "Dia, put a shirt on, we need to go to dinner." Pearl threw a shirt at me.
"Thanks." I put on the shirt and went to Pearl's side in front of the door.
"You still haven't answered my question. Where did you go?" Pearl asked as we went on the elevator. I suddenly pictured Platina, singing in the moonlight like an angel.
A smile grew on my lips at the thought. "Oh, I just got lost," I answered.
With Platina
What just happened? I know that hitting the wall might make my Mythic powers malfunction. But not being able to talk isn't really a power. So why am I able to talk out of the water? I wondered. And…I stuffed my face into my hands, I let him carry me while he was shirtless! His voice calmed me down when I was scared out of my mind when I saw him, but why? I barely even know him. Plus, I was swimming without any garments so if he pulled me out of the water and I went back to my human form, I would've been totally naked!
I bet steam was coming out of my head since my head was on a rampage. I heard the door slam open. "Hey, Platina! Are you back yet?" Sapphire's voice boomed.
I opened my mouth to speak. Nothing came out. Huh? My hands went to my throat. Is…is my voice back to normal? Sapphire walked where she could see me and she smiled.
Her smile dropped when she saw my hands at my throat. "Is something wrong? Does your throat hurt?"
I reached behind me where I kept my notepad and pencil. I wrote some words on it and showed the paper to Sapphire. 'I'm fine. Just an itchy throat.'
Sapphire squinted her eyes and attempted to read it. "I…I'm f-fine. Just an itc…itchy throat," she read off. I sighed. Sapphire needs to learn how to read or she won't be able to accomplish anything in subjects like English, Reading, Writing, or anything that requires reading. Sapphire gave of a look of joy when she finished reading. "Great. Want to go to dinner now?"
Diamond said that the doctor said that I should rest but I don't see the problem. Mythics heal quickly so I should be fine, but I should be very wary about anything touching my back. I wrote on my notepad: 'I shall go to dinner with you'
"Great, let's go!" Sapphire grabbed my hand and rushed me out the door and into and elevator.
We got to the dining room, I caught sight of Blue waving at us. I tugged Sapphire to the direction of Blue. Right before I sat down, someone pushed me down to the ground. I winced as the floor hit my back. It still hurts.
"Platina! Are you okay?" Blue cried. She glared at the boy who ran into me and the boy ran away in fear. Blue made her way towards me but before she made it, a pair of arms behind me grabbed my sides and pulled me up. I hid a look of confusion behind my emotionless face. Sapphire, Blue, Yellow, Lyra, and Crystal were in front of me. Who was behind me, then?
"Is your back okay, Platina?" I knew that voice. I whirled around and met those blue eyes that belonged to the boy that helped me earlier today. My eyes widened slightly.
Subconsciously, my mouth opened and out came a quiet, "It's fine." Two gasps were heard behind me, most likely Sapphire and Blue, and my hands flew to my mouth. My voice…again?
Diamond didn't seem to notice my shock and he smiled. "That's good. You should be more careful next time," he warned and he ran off next to a blond boy with a green scarf. When he was gone, I felt hands on my shoulder.
"Oh my god, Platina!" Blue exclaimed, ignoring the stares from people.
"You just spoke," Sapphire said, much more quietly. "Without any water!"
Blue and Sapphire are the only other people besides Diamond at this academy that knows that I'm a siren, with the exception of five Mythics at this school. "I do not understand this either," I said, or at least I tried to say, but what only came out was soundless air. It's back to normal. What is going on? I looked up at Blue and Sapphire before writing words on my notepad and showing it to them. I don't know what just happened but my voice is back to normal.
Blue had to read it for Sapphire to make it go faster. Blue glanced at me with a worried look before hiding her worry with a convincing grin. "Come on, let's get to the table. The others are waiting," Blue motioned to Yellow, Crystal, and Lyra. I nodded and followed her and Sapphire to the table.
"You're not hurt anywhere, are you Platina?" Lyra tilted her head to her left, looking at me with worry. Why does everyone worry about me? I took out my notepad.
'I'm fine' I wrote down. Lyra looked at the notepad then at me then at Blue and Sapphire with a raised eyebrow.
Yellow looked at the clock behind me and she suddenly looked flustered. She fumbled with her things and struggled to get back on her feet. "Sorry guys, I lost track of time. I need to get back to the room to finish a project."
Everybody said goodbye to Yellow and I wrote down 'Good luck on your project'. Yellow shyly smiled at us before zipping away. When she was gone, Crystal glanced at me. Well, more at my notepad.
"She doesn't talk much, does she?" Crystal asked.
Blue laughed. "Yeah."
With Red
"Green, you seem a little distracted. Did something happen?" I asked my best friend, who was staring into space while having a fork with some salad on it poking the corner of his lips.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Green replied, immediately reacting to my voice and continued eating like he wasn't just staring into space for a whole ten minutes.
"Don't lie to me. Something's wrong and I can prove it. Look, you just put your fork on the table cloth instead of your bowl!" I pointed at his fork, which was indeed stabbed into the cloth and Green was about to eat it until he stopped before he did.
"That was just a coincidence," Green defended, stabbing a piece of lettuce with his fork.
"Suuuure. Come on Green, tell me. We're best friends."
"Okay fine, what if I am distracted? What about it?" Green burst out.
I crossed my arms and smiled in triumph. "Good, you admitted it," I said proudly. "So what's distracting you?"
"You know," Green pierced a tomato with his fork and pointed it at me threateningly, "even if we are best friends, I have the right to not tell you things. And I choose not to tell you just what I'm distracted about."
"You seemed like the secretive type when I first met you," Gold stated, playing with baked potato remnants. Gold intertwined his hands and rested his chin on them. He gave Green a smug smile. "I wonder if he's thinking about a girl."
Gold looked like he was about to say something but Green suddenly stood up from his seat and exclaimed, "I'm not thinking about a girl!" We all stared at him, shocked at his sudden outburst, with the exception of Silver, of course. Green realized what he just did and sat down. He cleared his throat, "I'm thinking about the test I'm going to take tomorrow."
We were all still shocked when he sat down but Gold was the first one to recover. "You know, I was about to say 'Green couldn't be thinking about a girl. He never pays attention or even glances at girls.' But you countered my thought with that little outburst you had just now." Gold tilted his head and poked his cheek like he was in thought. "Which makes me wonder, was Green really just thinking about a test?"
Green stood up once again. "I'm done eating," he announced. Before we know it, Green was at the exit of the dining room within seconds.
No way. In all my years of being with Green, he has never talked about, much less thought about, girls. What kind of girl would spark Green's interest? I wondered.
"Aww, Green's such a wuss," Gold complained, stretching out his body.
"You were probably teasing him too far from his comfort zone," Pearl said.
Gold shrugged. "Well it's his fault for being so obvious."
"That is true, but I still think you went too far," Pearl countered. "You think so too, right Diamond?" No reply. Pearl turned his head towards the said person. "Dia?" Pearl waved his hand in front of his best friend's still face. "Is something wrong with you buddy?" Pearl's gaze fell from Diamond's face to Diamond's food and Pearl gasped in horror. "No, it can't be."
Emerald jumped to his feet. "What? What happened? Is there a bomb? Is there insects? Is there poison? Fungus? Wait, would fungus be considered poison since it makes you sick? Well whatever. What could be the problem?" he brought out a magnifying glass and inspected Diamond's food.
"How did I not notice?" Pearl said in a quiet voice.
"What's wrong with Diamond's food?" I questioned, standing up and looking the food.
"He," Pearl slowly craned his head towards everyone like a robot, "only has…"
"Spit it out!" Gold shook Pearl's shoulders wildly.
Pearl pointed a shaky finger at Diamond's plate. "He only has one plate."
Gold let go of Pearl, his face blank. Emerald stuffed his magnifying glass away and gave Pearl the "really nigga?" face. I just had a poker face. "You got us worried about nothing," Gold walked back to his chair. A bunch of people around us were obviously staring at us because of our loudness.
"This isn't nothing guys," Pearl said in a whisper shout. "You guys might not understand because you haven't been around Diamond as much as I have. But let me summarize the situation. Diamond's appetite is like a crystal ball. It can, for some reason, tell if something bad is going to happen. You all know how Diamond is always eating?" We all nodded. "Well, in a situation where he doesn't want to eat much, for example now, it means something bad is going to happen."
Silver crossed his arms. "I find that really hard to believe."
"It's true!" Pearl claimed. He turned to Emerald and Ruby. "You two remember last night when Diamond suddenly dropped his cheesecake and we heard a scream and you two said it must've been just the wind?"
Emerald gulped. "Yes," he said. Ruby nodded.
"I bet that was the time when those two girls were killed."
"You 'bet', but maybe that was just a coincidence that you heard a scream and Diamond dropped his cheesecake at the same time," Gold said.
"I'm telling you-" Pearl was cut off by the announcement woman.
"Attention all students, I would like to inform that three students, all male, have been murdered. I would like to inform the killer one more time that you are only allowed to kill one person every day. If you don't follow this rule, we will find you and put you under restraints. Have a good night, everyone."
Diamond, as if someone pressed a play button, immediately came back to reality and smiled at us. "Are you guys okay?" Diamond looked at us worriedly.
