Chapter 6: Enemies Appear
Next day—Wednesday—is always my most hated day of the week. Why? Well…
I heard laughing coming from the door to my room and turned around, glaring. A solid Frau stood there in the doorway laughing hard looking at me.
"Shut up!" I yelled, throwing a pillow in his direction. He dodged and wiped fake tears from his eyes.
"Sorry kid, but…is that really your army uniform? You look like a pickle."
I stood up from my bed and pushed Frau out of the way as I exited my room.
Currently I was wearing an army green short sleeve buttoned shirt with dark green slacks and black oxford shoes. Worst part was my hair was pulled back into a bun and my bangs clipped up. Wednesday s was always uniform day for JROTC and I always hated them.
Still listening to Frau's laughter from behind I made my way to the kitchen where I spotted Teito leaning on the counter.
"Hey." I said frowning but not towards him.
Teito looked up and his cheeks flushed but he did notice my frown.
"Frau still laughing?"
I nodded and shot a scowl from the mentioned man coming through the door who ignored us and sat at the table.
"Don't worry it's not that bad. We had to wear uniforms to in the military."
I sighed.
"Yes I know but at least y'alls weren't so stupid looking." I rubbed my forehead with my hand.
"I'm use to it though, people don't make fun of us like they use to."
Teito nodded and pointed at my shirt.
"By the way what are those?"
I looked down and smirked.
"These are my ribbons. Everyone has some. They're rewards we get for doing certain things."
"Like what?" Frau said curiosity bringing him in the conversation.
"Well this one is for being a second year in JROTC." I said, pointing out a green and gold strip ribbon that had a bronze lamp in the middle.
"What about this one?" Teito asked point out a blue ribbon with red and white rim strips. I smirked.
"That one is the highest award you can get. It's given to only one cadet from each grade level. Last year I won it."
Teito's jaw went a little slacked at that and Frau even chuckled.
"How'd you managed to get that?" Frau asked, smirking.
I shrugged.
"Not sure exactly, even now I'm still surprised I got it. I didn't do anything special last year."
Frau was going to say something but stopped when mom came in.
"Ready for school?" she asked, grinning.
"I frowned.
"When am I ever ready?"
She laughed and I followed her out the house, the two boys following me…
When we got to school Frau and Teito became ghosts and mom turned to me.
"Now don't forget. I'm not coming back from this trip for three weeks okay? Go to your dad's house if you need anything."
I nodded and got out of the KIA. The boys followed close behind but turned when mom called to them, even though she couldn't see them.
"You two best be taking care of my girl now, you hear?"
Frau turned to me.
"Tell her we got it and not to worry."
I nodded and spoke to message to her and she nodded.
"Bye then."
I nodded and waved as she drove off.
"Bye."…
Sixth period came and so did JROTC class. I walked into the room and set my bag down on the shelves. I was about to fall in when my instructor, Major Belz, called my name.
"Sarah."
I turned and saw her motion towards me. I walked to her side and stood next to her.
"We need to talk."
Again with the talking? I let out a mental sigh and followed her into her office. I sat down in the chair in front of her desk and waited. After a few seconds she began.
"You know that I'm retiring this year right?"
My face dropped but nodded.
"Yes, sadly I do."
She gave me a smile at that and continued.
"You also know that the BFI is next year too right?"
I nodded. The BFI stood for Battalion Formal Inspection. It happens every 3 years and is a important event.
"Well every time that time comes around we give five cadets the position of staff officer to help set up the battalion for the BFI."
I looked at her in confusion and she saw the expression.
"Sarah, were you planning on being with us next year?"
I nodded. "That was the plan."
"Well how about becoming next year's S-1 in staff?"
I blinked then blinked again.
"Isn't staff officers third in command of the battalion?"
Major Belz nodded.
"And you want me to accept a position that high in the chain of command?"
She nodded again.
"You don't have to worry too much, I'll teach you everything you need to know about it before the end of the school year so you don't have to worry about it next year."
I thought about it for a few moments. What the hell? Me? The S-1 of the whole battalion? Man that means I could even make the company commanders do push-ups! I wouldn't but still!
But then again basically us passing the BFI next year depends on me and the other four staff members and that's a lot of pressure. Glory if we pass, blame if we fail.
"Can I get back to you on that, ma'am?"
She nodded. I stood up to leave but she held out her hand to make me stop.
"I did promote you though to XO of your company so now you're second in charge of your company, no longer a squad leader. You're A-fire will become squad leader."
I nodded, to surprise to speak and left her office. Back to the main room I received curious stares from my company members but ignored them. Instead I walked up to Nancy and told her everything. Once I was finished she nodded and gestured to stand to the side of the company. I did as I was told and walked over to my now new position…
Well that was the shocker of the whole day; the rest was pretty much the same. Well except that when I got home with Kalei and took my nap, I didn't wake up to mom's touch. I woke up to Teito's instead. Once I got up I made dinner for the three of us and we eat. After I clean up the kitchen I took a shower—no Teito incidents happening—and got ready for bed. I was in bed, after a few minutes and closed my eyes.
The next morning my alarm clock went off. I slammed my hand on the off button and it shut off. Sighing I moved so I could get up but found I couldn't. Then I noticed feeling strangely warm and comfortable. I turned my head and let out a gasp.
Teito was again sleeping in my bed but that wasn't the only thing. He had his arms around me, my back to him, and my head to his chest. Looking up at his face, seeing how peaceful and calm it looked made me a little reluctant to wake him up.
He's cute when he's asleep…whoa where did that come from? I shook my head quickly, making him stir from his sleep. Slowly his eyes opened and focused on me.
"Um, hi?" I said.
Immediately his eyes widen and realized the position we were in. He quickly got let go of me and scrambled off the bed, blushing bright red even through the darken room.
"S-sorry."
I sat up, chuckling.
"It's okay. But is there a reason you keep sleeping in my bed?"
"I think I can answer that one."
Both of us turned as the light came on and squinting both of us saw Frau standing in the doorway with his arms crossed, smirking.
Before I could say anything though Teito rushed pass me and slammed into Frau, pushing him out of the room. I frowned as they disappear and got up to get ready for school…
Today was so boring! I swear in any of my classes did we do something fun. Blah! This is why I hate school. What's worse is that I have homework today. After eight agonizing hours the final bell released me from my torment. After Kalei picked me up and dropped me off I went straight to finishing my homework. After about an hour—hey I got homework from four classes—me, Teito and Frau watched TV. I constantly had to calm them down when violent stuff happen in the shows really not wanting them to break it. We watched until it was time to go to sleep and sleep is what we did.
Friday was okay I guess. My eventful since it was a Friday. Throughout the whole day I heard talks about what others were going to do that weekend and etc. Frau and Teito had asked me once if I had plans.
"Nah, I don't like going out much, besides I have to go to my dad's this weekend so it's not worth it."
That ended that conversation real quickly. Not that my dad was a bad guy or anything but he's kind of slow and being slow can make him frustrated, leading him to bipolar moods. He's not but pretty close.
Once school ended I let out a happy sigh and made my way to the front.
"Someone's happy." Frau said grinning.
"Well duh, it's Friday, anybody is happy about that. It means staying up late and sleeping in." I replied, grinning.
Kalei came and picked me, being in her usual bitchy mood and then dropped me off.
When I went inside my house, the first thing I did after placing my bag in my room was pack clothes for dad's house. After that I decided to go on my laptop. A few moments of being on Frau and Teito got curious and I showed them the wonders of the internet.
It was funny to say the least.
Before I knew it was night time and I had to go over to my dad's. Sighing I got off my bed, closing my laptop and setting it on my VCR/DVD player.
"Come on it's time to go." I said grabbing my keys and heading to the front door.
Both boys followed me and went back into their ghost form.
We walked across the street to a brick house with a green roof and stopped in front of the screen door. My dad's truck was gone since he works during the nights.
"Now you guys can't get out of your ghost forms okay? No matter what."
I saw them give each other a quick glance before nodded in my direction. I took out my keys again and unlocked the screen door than the wooden door. When I opened it I heard voices come from inside and rolled my eyes.
Great, Kalei brought some friends over again. Stepping inside I closed the behind the boys and started headed towards my room.
"Sarah, come here."
I heard Kalei's voice come from the living room and sighed. I walked through a couple rooms before I turned the corner leading to the living room. Once I went inside, my body froze, my packing bag slipped through my fingers and landed on the floor. Frau and Teito came behind me and also stiffened.
Kalei turned to me from her spot on the couch and gestured towards two men sitting down with her.
"Sarah, meet my two new friends. They'll be staying over here for a while."
The closet man wore a long blue cotton shirt with tight black jeans while the other wore a green short sleeve shirt with faded blue jeans. Both stared at me with fixed glazes.
I felt a lump come into my throat as the closer man got up from his spot and walked till he was in front of me. He proceeded to grabbing my hand and bending down, letting his lips touch my skin. I shivered at how cold his touch was but didn't let it show.
As he straightens back up purple eyes flashed in the light.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Sarah."
I pulled my hand back from his grasp and with wide eyes stared at him in shock.
"Oh shit…" I whispered.
Ahhhhhhhh…I'm so mean. Hahaha! Oh well, bet you have a real good guess on who the two guests are. Yes? No? Well y'all find out in the next chapter any way.
So five reviews is when y'all see me next.
Man by how fast you guys are reviewing I should make it ten, but I'm not that mean. X)
R&R
