Louise's Little Friend (Chapter 3)
Louise was walking through the Wagstaff school hallways, thinking about the close calls she had last night at dinner. Tina really wasn't joking when she said she was bad at keeping secrets. When her dad brought the rat up again, Tina was about to spill the beans, so Louise spilled some beans on her to keep her quiet. There were many close calls like that last night, and Louise was lucky to have avoided them.
"Tina, you're the worst! You almost got Misako taken away!" Louise scolded Tina. Gene was behind them, not really knowing what was going on, but enjoying the argument since he loved juicy gossip.
"They kept bringing it up, and Mom and Dad will find out eventually. You can't keep it a secret forever," Tina countered, just wanting Louise to stop talking as Louise had been bugging her about this since last night.
"They're not going to find out, because I WILL keep Misako, and they will NEVER take him/her away!" Louise bellowed, holding her hand up in a fist. Tina and Gene, while they should have been freaked out by her drive, had another question to ask.
"Wait, you don't know whether Misako's a boy or a girl?" Tina asked. Gene then popped his head in the middle of their conversation.
"I always thought Misako was a boy. I mean have you seen him, he had the swag you would expect from a boy," Gene explained, after having seen Louise feeding Misako some of her leftover vegetables before he went to bed.
"I always thought Misako was a girl. She had the eyes of someone wanting to meet their other half, but was driven apart by…" Tina said before Louise hit her on the arm. "Ow," Tina muttered in her usual monotone voice.
"Stop talking crazy talk, I mean, Misako is obviously a…" Louise began before turning Misako around. Just as she was about to look at Misako's…private regions, Mr. Frond approached them. Louise, thinking fast, opened up her backpack, and stuffed Misako into it.
"What are you three doing out in the hallways? It's almost time for class," Mr. Frond scolded the children. Louise rolled her eyes before getting in Mr. Frond's face.
"Keyword 'almost'. Since there's no class yet, we can walk in the hallways until class starts," Louise countered before she heard the bell ringing, meaning that they were late for class.
"Ha! Well, classes have started now, and now you're going to have a nice trip to detention after school young lady. Now, have a nice day," Mr. Frond gloated before heading back into his office.
"Well, that sucks, huh Louise?" Gene asked, not noticing that Louise was shaking with anger.
"He thinks he's so great, does he?" Louise asked herself before hearing a squeaking sound coming from her backpack, and remembering that Misako was in there. Her lips then curved into an evil smile, as she had just formulated a revenge plan.
"I don't like that look on your face, Louise. If you just accept the…" Tina started before Louise brought Misako out of the backpack and headed towards Mr. Frond's office. "This isn't going to end well, is it Gene?" Tina turned to ask her brother. Gene just nodded. "Well, I think we should head to class. We can't afford to be even later than we are," Tina said as she and Gene made their way to their classes.
Meanwhile with Louise, she had just made it outside of Mr. Frond's office door, and was glaring at him doing a crossword puzzle at his desk.
'Typical Frond, doing something that only old people would find cool' Louise thought to herself with a grimace before she pulled Misako close to her.
"OK Misako, here's the plan. I'm going to distract that very sad old man inside, and get him to come out of his office. Then, when we go in there, you're going to take a little swim in his gross herbal tea. And then when he comes back inside, you jump all over his face and surprise him. Understand?" Louise explained to the rat. The rat made several squeaks in response. Louise assumed that was a 'yes'. "Alright then, let's put Operation Get that Tool into effect".
"Oh my God! There are a couple of students out here thinking about smoking to let out their frustrations," Louise yelled out in a slightly pitched down voice. This got Mr. Frond's attention, as he sprang up from his chair and sped to the door. Before Mr. Frond opened the door, Louise and Misako hid behind a nearby trash can, while Mr. Frond ran off.
"No! Smoking is not the answer you seek!" Mr. Frond yelled after the 'students'. Louise looked back at him, and just shook her head and laughed.
"He can be just too easy sometimes," Louise said to herself, before heading to the desk. Louise then opened Mr. Frond's tea thermos, and gently put Misako in the thermos.
"I'll be back for you after you scare the crap out of that idiot," Louise whispered as she ran out of the room, just as Mr. Frond was coming back, with a look on his face showing disappointment that there was no counseling emergency at all. Mr. Frond looked to his side, and saw Louise, but decided to deal with her later and drink some herbal tea.
"Well, some Earl Grey tea will make me feel better," Mr. Frond mumbled angrily to himself before sitting down at his desk. Mr. Frond grabbed his thermos, and twisted the cap open. Once he did, he heard a splash, and saw something pop out of the thermos out of the corner of his eye. When he looked at what had came out of his thermos, he saw Misako. Misako, in response to Mr. Frond staring at it, Misako squeaked a couple of times. In response, Mr. Frond let out a very girly and high pitched scream.
Outside of Mr. Frond's office, Louise had her ear to the door, and just heard Mr. Frond's extremely girly scream. Louise rolled on the floor laughing, and in the middle of her laughing, she felt a small weight on her chest. She saw Misako clinging to her dress with it's claws. Louise smiled at Misako, and gave Misako a pat on the head. Louise put Misako on top of her head, and took one last look at Mr. Frond's office, where he was on the verge of a panic attack with several teachers trying to calm him down. Louise laughed even harder this time before leaving the hallways to get back to class.
Sorry this third chapter took so long. I was in the middle of school and exams. But, I hope you like this chapter. Thanks for bearing with me.
