7. Domino Effects
When Jamie stirred, everyone stirred.
They'd all fallen asleep, Patti leaning on Liz, Black Star laying in Tsubaki's lap with his mouth hanging open and a dribble of drool going up and down with each inhale and exhale, Crona was curled up in a ball, Maka was hugging a book, and Soul and Raissa were subconsciously leaning together. Kid was slumped elegantly in his chair, managing to remain symmetrical in his sleep. Mark though, was simply leaning back, nothing exciting about that.
But as soon as Jamie's strange eyes flicked open, the chain reaction that ensued was not only instant, but comical to say the very least. Kid jolted up and hit the IV, Black Star and Tsubaki knocked heads, Patti jerked up and Liz fell off her chair, Crona uncurled himself so quickly that his feet kicked Maka's chair over, causing her to wake up and Maka Chop Soul in the head, causing Soul to yelp in Raissa's ear.
Aforementioned French girl got so frightened that her limbs flew everywhere, hitting Mark dead in the nose. A sharp crack! emanated from the then irritable green-shotgun, and he rubbed at his now bleeding face.
Jamie sat with a very dumbfounded expression. My friends are idiots. she concluded, as they all collected themselves and rubbed at their newly made injuries. "Glad to see you are awake." she teased, giggling hysterically. "We're glad to see that you are." Mark drawled, then, getting angry he waved his hands in sweeping gestures of obvious displeasure, "You are an idiot! You should have called for back up!"
Jamie cocked her head to the side like a dog would, "Huh? What're you talking about?" Mark's temples throbbed, "I'm talking about Anne blind siding you in the classroom! You should have called for back up or something!" Jamie just continued to blink, thoroughly confused.
Mark grabbed her shoulders and shook her, "Damn it Elliot! Stop playing around!"
Jamie's temple veins came puffing into view, as she Nutcracker-ed Mark back into his seat, "Don't give me SBS, stupid hedgehog! I don't even know what you are talking about! The last thing I remember is that I was going to go find Anne!" Everybody's expressions, that had been ranging from mild amusement to worry during the exchange at first, all, once again, domino effected into one big collection of seriousness.
"She did it on purpose." Kid growled, that soft blue momentarily flitting through his eyes again. Jamie looked to her dear friend with concern, "Little Death," she semi-squeaked/shook, "W-w-what's going on." Black Star answered for the shinigami-boy, deadpanning with, "Anne attacked you."
"What? When!"
"You were sent to look for her to gather clues for our mission, and she must have knocked you out because she accidentally gave away to much information." Maka said softly, and Patti then piped up, "But I got you Mr. Wiggles and Marlin!"
Jamie looked down to the plush giraffe and penguin at her sides and squished them in her arms, "Thanks Pat." Patti smiled brightly, then all of the sudden, something dawned on her. "Wasn't Anne sitting next to you Mark? She wanted to talk to Jamie too right?" Mark looked to his side, even though it was obvious that she was not there, which was good considering that they were bashing her not twenty seconds ago.
"I wonder where she went?" Liz asked aloud, and Kid practically growled, "More signs of her guilty conscious." Jamie giggled once again, "Calm yourself Kiddo, we are still not one hundred percent sure that Anne is the one who knocked me out."
Everyone glared at her simultaneously and said, "You can't be serious."
Jamie rose her hands in a half hearted surrender, "Hey! I am totally blank, someone could have shown up beforehand or hit me upside the head and made it look like Anne did it."
"All I am trying to say is that we can't afford to jump to any sort of conclusion, this isn't a game."
Everyone was rather distraught and worried, unsure of what to do next.
