"Yeah that's right, no they got the whole thing on camera. I can't believe that Nate kid was only suspended, can you?" Aunt Kaede said to her friend Mira over the phone as I drank my chocolate milk and listened to her intently. "It was really lucky that kid was there I don't know what they..."
"Aunty K it's okay I'm fine." I put my hand on her shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly.
"Oh honey I know you are now, I'm just worried because Mr. Ramirez, the principal, looked over some of the papers of yours that I've graded and wanted me to ask you to attend school there after homecoming break..." Aunt Kaede let out a breath. "But those kids..."
"I want to go, those idiot's got what they deserved I don't think they'll mess with me anymore." I said quickly. "You see I met this kid, Jinenji, and I really want to be friends with him."
"Oh hon you can be friends with Jin without having to go to school with him, I'm good friends with his mother." Aunt Kaede picked up the phone again. "I could just call—"
"Ew, no. I don't want to set up a play date I'm seventeen that's not even close to ok."
"Right, I keep forgetting you're a teenager." She smiled sweetly and set the phone down.
"You've kinda had six years to remember it, how old are you oh my god." I rolled my eyes and fell backwards on the couch but smiled anyway and spotted Kaede smiling back. "I love you Aunty K."
"I love you too hon," she walked over and kissed me on the forehead before going to her chair, pulling the remote from the cushions, and turning the tv onto the news like usual.
"I do want to go to that school though, so can you please consider it?"
"Well, I'll think about it but I really don't want those boys around you. Including that Sesshomaru kid." The last addition caught my attention, making me look at her.
"What, why Sesshomaru?" I asked, flabbergasted.
"Firstly, that boy has issues, I've known him and his family since grade school." Kaede said solemnly. "And second, anyone who's capable and willing to beat up three other boys by themselves is showing a good sign that they're a person to stay away from. Chivalrous or not."
"Alright, I'll stay away from the boys, but I do want to go to the school." I insisted.
"Like I said, I'm also going to prey and when I know for sure that this is a good choice, I'll tell you." And without another word, she returned to the news.
Of course usually when she said things like that, she forgot about it and never told me her answer, and then if I brought it up again she would tell me that she's still thinking about it. Continuing to bring it up and she would tell me that since I asked so many times the answer was no.
I sighed and turned upside down on the couch, putting my feet on the back of it and watching the news with Aunt K.
"Rin, it's been so long, I've missed you!" Victoria gushed as I walked with her trey of food inoto her room. She had her long dark red hair pulled into a braid that hung over her shoulder and she was wearing red lipstick that gave her nice contrast. Despite being sixty nine the woman looked remarkably young, and she was from Germany. "How have you been my darling?"
"Great!" I said, smiling and pulling out the fold up table to set her food in front of her.
"Oh, I know that look sweetie." She looked into my eyes. "What is it, it's boy trouble right?"
"Oh god no I just got into a little fight but I'm good now." I said, nodding my head to myself as I opened all the containers and prepared her plate for her. "How much mashed potatoes do you want?"
"That's fine darling," she said and then turning around she grabbed a small leather bound book from under her pillow. "Here, this is for you."
"Oh," I put both my hands together excitedly and smiled widely at her, "is it what I think it is?"
"If what you're thinking is more poetry then yes." She handed me the book and smiled again before closing her hands and her eyes over her food and becoming silent. I waited for her to finish preying with my head bowed respectfully, even if I wasn't religious, I respected other people.
"Rin, I need your help with these sheets from the laundry, I can't make all the beds myself!"
"Coming Auntie K!" I looked back at Victoria who only nodded and smiled.
"I'll come back more often ok Victoria?" I said hugging her lightly before I went after my aunt.
"No no no no no nooo!" I cried as the member of the elite four I was working on at the moment used a full restore on her Chandelure. "Damn..."
"You gonna loose because she used a full restore again?" Amanda asked me as I cursed silently at my ds. "You're such a nerd Rin."
"Shut it and let me concentrate." I grumbled as the hit me with a final blow. "It's super affective!" Fuck my life... "Leave me alone with my first world problems and go find a guy to leer at."
"Oh, my heart!" Amanda put her hand to it and faked what looked like really bad acting of a heart attack as she clutched the front of her piece sign over sized gray sweater. Her blonde hair was pulled into a bun showing off pretty blue eyes, she also was tan and had cute freckles.
"I wish I could tan and get freckles," I sighed, nudging her. "You're so pretty, old people I know are pretty, boys are pretty, everyone's fucking pretty fuck my life..."
"Yeah, it's not really lady like to swear like that." Amanda shrugged, pulling her skinny blue jean clad legs to her chest and sitting cross legged. "Fuck."
I giggled and went back to paying attention to my game, restarting it so I could start the elite four again where I saved it last. Full of potions, berries, and revives...
