An Odd Wonderland- Chapter Three: Toxic Towards My Health...
Odd Della Robbia's Point of View
"I'll meet you guys later, okay?" I told Jeremy, Ulrich, Aelita, and Yumi before running off. I wanted to make sure that what Sissi did to Rose didn't happen again. So I waited by the lunch room doors for her to come out. It didn't take long. Rose walked out with her head down as she walked. "Hey, Rose!" I shouted before grabbing her hand.
"Huh?" Rose looked over at me. "Um... what can I do for you Della Robbia?" she asked. I almost forgot that she didn't know my first name.
"I'm Odd. Mrs. McCann told you that we were going to be partners on our next art project. So I thought it'd be best if we got to know each other before hand." Looking up at the window I could see Sissi standing there with a bucket full of water. Both of us were walking towards the dorm. I was walking backwards in front of Rose with my hands behind my head. "I'd step to the left if I were you, right about... now."
Rose side stepped as Sissi threw the water at her. "What the heck was that for?" she yelled at the fuming girl. Jim rounded the corner to see the puddle of water and Sissi with the bucket in her hands.
"Sissi! What do you think you're doing with that bucket? Detention young lady, and I'll be telling your father about this!" I was trying my best not to laugh as I pulled Rose into the dorms.
"What the heck is her problem? If she did get me it would've ruined all of my hard work." Rose was pouting, which looked really cute. We both stood in front of her dorm room. Pulling out the keys she unlocked the door. "Come inside. We can talk in here." I followed after her and took a seat on her bed. Band posters, scraps of paper, drawings, gaming posters, and photographs covered her walls. A desk was placed right under the window, on top of it sat a MacBook Pro hooked on its charger with a wicked sound system on either sides. Next to the sound system was an iPod deck with what seemed to be the latest iTouch hooked to it.
"Nice room." I complemented while relaxing back on her soft full size bed with Nightmare Before Christmas sheets. Rose smiled while setting her stuff down before removing her bag and white shirt. I could feel the heat rush to my face.
"Thanks, it took me awhile to decorate the whole thing." I noticed a sheet on the ground and picked it up. It was the one she was drawing during Mrs. Hertz's class of me and Ulrich. It was of me with my chin resting on the heel of my palm while drawing Kiwi, Ulrich was sitting next to me with his head down, taking notes.
"Isn't this the drawing you were working on in Mrs. Hertz's class?"
Rose's spine stiffened as she looked over her shoulder. "Man, this looks so realistic. I bet Ulrich would like to see this." I looked up and smiled at her as she blushed. "This is so cool, do you mind if I keep it?" A small growl was heard as a black and white puppy popped its head up from the lowest dresser drawer before jumping out. "Hey, cool!" I held out my hand, allowing the puppy to sniff my hand. It did just that before jumping on the bed so it could stand on its hind legs so it can lick my face. I started laughing.
"M-Monster!" Rose scooped the little thing up, and proceeded to get attacked in doggy kisses. She also started laughing before falling on the bed right next to me. "Alright, alright already! Calm down boy," she pushed his face away from hers as she sat up.
"He's a cute little guy. I bet him and Kiwi would get along just fine." She shot me a puzzled look. "You're not the only one who breaks school rules and has a pet on campus." She let out a long sigh as she flopped back down on the bed. Monster curled up in my lap as I scratched him behind his ears. His tail wagged happily back and forth as his tongue lolled out of his mouth.
"You're spoiling him!" laughed Rose. She had a really pretty laugh and her nose scrunched up while doing it.
Rose's Point of View
A few hours had passed before I heard someone knock on my door. Odd was still in my room and had long since kicked off his shoes and made himself at home. Monster looked up from his spot on Odd's stomach before going to his hiding spot. Quickly getting up I went and answered the door. Standing there were two boys (one I remember drawing; Odd said his name was Ulrich), and two girls. One of the girl's had bright pink hair.
She was the first one to speak. "Hello. We were just wondering if you've seen our friend Odd." I opened the door wider and stepped aside.
"C'mon in. Odd's just being a lazy bum on my bed." Said lazy bum shot up.
"Hey I resent that!"
I giggled at his childish like personality. Monster came out and jumped up on top of Odd. He went back to scratching Monster behind his ears. "Awe, what a cute puppy!" the girl with pink hair cooed, holding out her hand for him to sniff. After just a second the husky started licking at her fingers. "What's its name?"
"His name is Monster." She picked him up off of Odd and started petting his head.
"Wow, he's really well behaved." The other girl came over and started petting Monster. The brat was having a field day. "I'm Yumi." She introduced herself.
"Jeremy," the boy with blond hair and glasses held out his hand. We shook hands.
"Ulrich," both of us shook hands.
"I'm Aelita." The girl with pink hair smiled. I nodded a hello.
"I'm Rose, but some of you already know that from Mrs. Hertz's class." I took a seat at my MacBook Pro in my swivel chair. I took the chance to wiggle my toes in my bright green socks. My boots were resting by where Odd placed his shoes. I took my Verizon 4G LET out of my back pocket and placed it on my desk next to my iPod dock. "Take a seat, take a seat." I waved towards my bed. All four of them easily fit on my full bed. Yumi had taken off her boots and placed them with mine, shortly did Ulrich and Jeremy followed. Aelita was too busy playing with Monster.
"Hey, Ulrich you gotta check this out. Rose drew this during Mrs. Hertz's class. Isn't it great?" Ulrich grabbed the drawing from Odd's hand and looked at it.
"You're not kidding Odd. Where'd you learn to draw like this?"
"Huh?" I sat up from looking at the MacBook screen. I was organizing my folders of my artwork and checking my email. I had pulled up a picture of my mother in her own studio holding her tattooing gun.
"Is that your Mom?" asked Odd. I nodded. "Wow. You guys look like you could be sisters!"
"Don't let her hear that. It'll inflate her ego more so then it needs to be. Everyone still thinks she's in her early twenties instead of her mid thirties."
"Do you get your artistic talents from her?" asked Aelita. I just held up a copy of Sengoku Basara- Devil King.
Shaking my head I turned around. "Nope. My Mother is a tattoo artist while my Father is a gaming designer. He works for CAPCOM and owns his own gaming company. He buys rights from others that nobody has tried yet. I'm one of his and CAPCOM's beta testers."
"Don't look now, but I think Odd is in love~" teased Aelita while elbowing the blond and purple haired teen in the side. His face turned red as he looked the other way. I couldn't help but giggle. He was just so cute! Turning back around I pulled up a few programs and plugged in my wacom tablet as I started working on a 3D design. It was for a contest that CAPCOM was having. It was our take on any CAPCOM character, and I chosen the anime version of Dante from Devils May Cray.
While I was working we all sat around and talked. I found out that Aelita was Odd's cousin from Canada, Ulrich was roommates with Odd and had a very strict father and a mother who sat back and did nothing to deal with his dad, Yumi's family argued a lot while she had an annoying little brother, Jeremy was a boy genius and didn't have many home problems but enough to be counted as normal, while Odd had artistic parents (much like myself) and a few older sisters. He was the youngest, and the runt according to Ulrich (whom got punched in the shoulder by said runt), artistic, care free, a true trickster, a dog lover, self proclaimed ladies man (which I had no doubt in my mind that he was), and loved to play sports, video games, and other things.
I saved my project and pulled up SAI. It was much easier to use compared to Photoshop. Yumi was going through my CD's, Jeremy was checking out my sound system, Aelita was playing with Monster, while Odd and Ulrich were going through my video games and comic books. I just started on the basics before adding more detail.
"You listen to J-rock and pop?" asked Yumi. She was checking out an Abingdon Boys School CD.
"Yeah. After visiting Japan once with Dad I just fell in love with their culture. Dad had bought me a Visual Kei Lolita outfit. Then we went to a Maid Cafe and other places. He even taught me some Japanese while we were there. Also he got me hooked on Poky." I explained while I continued with my drawing. I felt some weight on my shoulder. My back stiffened as I turned my head to the side, allowing my lips to ghost across their cheek. Leaving as faint line of blue lipstick.
"That's cool. It looks just like us." Odd seemed to not care at how close we were. I tried to slow my beating heart as I took shallow breaths. His scent was familiar, but I couldn't remember for the life of me where I smelled it before. But I could say this; it was highly toxic for my health. It was so intoxicating!
