Me: Whoop whoop! Chapter four!
Judai: Calm down. Is this the chap when… you-know-who comes in?
Me: Yep. Grins Can't face the music?
Judai: Blushes
Me: Ohhhh! She go you bad, boy!
Judai: Shut up!
Runs around chasing me, who is taunting.
Me: Read on!
Judai: Get back here!
I woke up tired and on my back. Haou's head rested on my chest. His hand was next to his head. I yawned and nuzzled his head.
"Rise and shine, sleepy head." I said. Haou yawned and cuddled closer to me.
"A few more minutes." he said quietly. I smiled at him. I kissed the top of his head.
"Come on. I have a final exam today. Cronos will kill me if I don't show up." I told him. He yawned and slowly opened his eyes and looked at me.
"Test?" he asked.
"Yes. A final exam. Now, if you don't mind..." he sat up and I got out of the bed. I grabbed my boxers and pulled them on. I got dressed and pulled on my socks. I slipped on my shoes and walked out the door. I ran down the path to the academy. I walked into the classroom, heart racing. I took my seat and managed to calm my heart. The only other people there were a few obelisks straight A students. I recalled everything that I had learned. A few paper balls were thrown at me. I looked up at the students above me. They snickered and I turned back. I rested my head on the desk, ignoring them.
"Ow!" I rubbed he back of my head. They had thrown a solid paper ball the size of a baseball. I turned around and glared. They burst out laughing.
"You think that's funny, do you?" I snarled. They burst out laughing again. I gave them a rude gesture and turned back around. They gasped and talked among themselves. A few other kids came in and took their seats. Asuka came in and took her seat above me. I turned around and smiled at her. She smiled back. WHAP!!! I jumped, as did every other person in the classroom. That was every third year in the school. Cronos had slammed down the stack of tests onto his desk.
"Everyone!! Face forward and be quiet!!" he screamed. We all faced the front and got real quiet. "Now, when I call your name, come down." after fifteen minutes of names, he had passed the test out to everyone.
"Ready? Begin." There was a flurry of noise as students began the test. I felt Cronos' eyes on me. I knew the rules. If my eyes wandered from the paper, my test would be confiscated and given a zero. I looked at the first question and began. I could tell from the noises that even the geniuses were having trouble. I smiled inwardly. They probable stayed up all night partying. After an hour, I was on the last question. It was an ECR, extended constructive response, my one weakness. But I let a small smirk cross my lips and wrote. Ten minutes and I was done. I flipped over my paper and put down my pencil. Cronos came over and swiped my paper from the desk.
"Do you have something to read?" I nodded.
"Well then. Read it." I took out 'Pride and Prejudice' and started reading. It was in English so I could use my new vocabulary. An hour after I was done, some one finished. After four hours since the test started, we were all done. And the book was almost done.
"Alright. Close the books." I marked my page and shut the book.
"This marks the end of your test. You have the rest of the day free." there were sounds of chairs scraping across the floor as students got up to leave. I grabbed my bag and flung it over my shoulder, not before I fished my iPhone out of it. The one O'Brien had given me stopped working, so I used so of the money from my bottomless bank account to buy it. One of the benefits of a dad working for Apple. I walked out of the building onto the main pathway. I selected contacts and picked the name at the top. I pressed the phone to my ear and listened to the dialing tone.
"Hello?"
"Эй Solaris, что пользу ты должен мне я решил использовать его сейчас."
"Конечно. Что это такое?"
"Что вы знаете о кошмарах?"
"Позвольте мне увидеть..." I listened to my childhood friend ask me questions and I answered them.
"Well, it looks like you've got a stalker. A ghost stalker."
"Huh. How fast can you get here?"
"Look up."
I looked up and smiled. "Well that answers my question. See ya on the ground." I ended the call and looked back up. A small dot in the sky got larger and larger.
"WAAAHOOO!!!!"
I laughed. That was Solaris all right. She was such a daredevil. Always trying new things. Looks like she decided to try air boarding. She released the board and opened her chute. She touched the ground and slowed herself down. She unclipped her parachute and rolled it up. She looked up at me.
"Well? Are ya gonna just stand there or help me?" I helped her roll up the chute and pack it back up. She was wearing a skintight royal blue jumpsuit and orange safety glasses. Her chocolate brown waist length hair was perfect, not a hair out of place. She took of her glasses and looked at me with deep chocolate brown eyes. I smiled at her and held out my arms. She ran into them and hugged me close. I wrapped my arms around her.
"Three years. Three years. I can't believe it's been that long." I said.
"Me neither." she said. She pulled back and picked up the bag. She slung it over her shoulder. "So where do you sleep?"
I scuffed the ground with me heel. "Well, it's a bit of an out house with a second floor. It's a crap shack compared to your house in R.E.I. Moscow." (R.E.I. Stands for Residential Entertainment Industry. Like a place for millionaires and billionaires in Moscow.)
She shrugged. "Eh. It's a prison. Come on. Show me."
I shrugged. "Alright. But didn't say I didn't warn you." I led the way to the Osiris dorm. We stopped in front of it. She let out a whistle.
"Wow. It's..."
"A crap shack."
"Perfect!"
"Eh!?" I looked at her. Her eyes were shining.
"Have you lost your damn mind!?" she whipped her head around and narrowed her eyes.
"Oh crap." I started backing up then turned around and ran. The bag hit the ground and she lunged at me. She tackled my legs, making me lose my balance. I wind milled my arms and hit the ground and my stomach. She grabbed my arms and pinned them behind my back. She used her hand and smooshed my cheek into the ground.
"You. Take. That. Back!!"
"Ahh!! Uncle! Uncle! You win!!" she let my face go and got off of me. I sat up rubbing my sore cheek. Solaris had slung the backpack over her shoulder.
"Oi!! I've been sittin' on my ass for about ten hours and have not eatin' or dranken anything so you better have some goddamn food." she said. I got off my butt and walked over to the door to the eating area.
"Hey!!" I looked back. All my friends were running over to me. Sho, Asuka, Manjoume, Kenzan, Rei, and Fubuki. I waved to them. Solaris looked over her shoulder. My friends caught up to us.
"So what brings you guys to this side of the island?" I asked. Sho opened his mouth to answer but was cut off by Solaris.
"Yuki Judai, if you don't open this goddamn door, I will break your neck," she growled. I immediately opened the door and let her in. My friends looked at me. I shrugged.
"That's normal." I walked into the room. I looked at Solaris. She looked back at me and smiled. I could have sworn that I heard several growls behind me.
"Relax guys. She's my childhood friend." I said. Solaris yawned and stretched.
"Correction, sleep first then food." she said. I nodded and showed her my dorm room. We went inside and I shut the door. I turned around and had her jumpsuit thrown at me. I caught it and looked at her. My mouth dropped. She was in her bra and undies. She turned around and walked closer to me.
"You like what you see?" she pressed her body against mine.
"This is the uh closest uh thing I uh have ever gotten to uh seeing a uh woman naked." I stuttered. She smiled at me. She took my hand and led me to the bed. She pushed me down and leaned over me.
"You know what Judai? When I first met you I thought you were cute. But now you're just plain hot." She whispered. I felt heat rise to my cheeks. She laughed and slipped a hand under my shirt. She traced my abs and I shivered. I pushed her off of me. She pouted until she saw me take my jacket and shirt off. She leaned in close so our lips brushed. And we kissed. I wrapped my arms around her back and she slipped her hands into my jeans back pockets. We stayed like this for a bit. She removed her hands and went to work on unbuckling my belt. She successfully got my belt undone and busied herself with the zipper. I pulled back and slipped them off, exposing my black boxers. I wrapped my arms around her back and pulled her down next to me. She laid down on her side and stroked my cheek with her knuckles. I flipped so she was on the bottom. I rested my head against her chest.
"Good night Solaris."
"Good night Judai."
And we both fell asleep.
Later, the door opened and Fubuki stuck his head in. The others were outside.
"Well?" asked Sho. Fubuki pulled his head back, grinning ear to ear.
"Sorry sis. Looks like he's taken. See for your self." Asuka looked in. Judai's head rested on Solaris' chest. She smiled and closed the door. She put a finger to her lips, signaling the others to be quiet. They went downstairs and left the dorm. They went to their own dorms, the same thought running through their heads. 'Well done, Judai. Well done.'
Judai: Pant. Pant. How did you run that long?
Me: I Swim, Dork.
Judai: Groans
Me: Sticks out tongue. By the way, the dialect that Judai was speaking after he took the exam, that was Russian. Rough translation:
J: Hey Solaris, that favor you owe me, I've decided to use it now
S: Sure. What is it?
J: What do you know about nightmares?
S: Let me see…
There you go!
Judai: Hey. When is…
Quickly slaps hand over his mouth
Me: You about gave it away!
Judai: Sorry.
Solaris: Rolls Eyes Read and Review!
