CHAPTER 9
After what had happened at 'The Growl' earlier, both of them left the restaurant with different feelings inside their heart. Maverick felt, that Howl guy was somewhat cute & chubby. His purple smooth skin made him a much preferred choice compared to Big Red, since Big Red have scales all over his big body. Thinking about Howl made Maverick want to date with him straight away. Meanwhile, on Bowser side, Bowser felt unsure whether he tried to protect his best bud from being bullied by Howl, or he just being jealous that Howl & Big Red seem to be the likely candidates for Maverick to fall in love with, or both. He felt even more confused with himself, like he was being involved in some kind of love triangle between those 2 monsters & Maverick. Either way, one thing for sure, Bowser didn't like Howl at all.
Seeing Bowser has that 'unsatisfied & nervous' looking face, Maverick start a conversation with him along their way back to their dorm.
"You have something in your mind that you want to let it all out? I'm here for you," Mave said in an assuring manner.
"No. I got nothing in my mind right now. It's ok," Bowser replied while he's whistling. He felt that it might be better if all these things never happened, and just forget about it.
"Are you sure? Because you are a bad liar yourself. You want me to give the answer for your questions right? I think we can stop playing that dumb game between us now. It kinda lame," Mave said.
"Ohhh! That will be great! I want to know-," Bowser reacted excitedly before he got interrupted.
"BUT! Only 1 question I will give answer for. And that will be…. Your question about Dirk Pratt earlier," Mave said while felt unsure if that's the right thing to do.
"Fine. Let's hear it then," Bowser said & stared at Maverick while walking.
"You were right. I was attracted to him," Mave said in a calm fashion.
"And what about tenting your shorts?," Bowser followed-up.
"That…. I can't answer. Sorry…..," Mave said while he looked down to the ground.
"I knew it! Why you keep hiding secrets from me? Is it because I'm a monster & you're a human, that we cannot share adult informations together? What's the different? For your information, I have reached my puberty & I had wet dreams too," Bowser said & felt Mave just being unfair with him.
"No. It's not like that Bowser. I have nothing against you. It just….. not the right time to give you the answer yet. And…. would you want to 'share' your wet dreams story to anyone? How about me? You think you can share about it?," Mave explained while tried to make things right.
"Uhhhhhh….. I'm not so sure about that. It kinda private & embarrassing," Bowser reacted & blushed.
"See? You're blushing. Listen Bowser. At a certain point, it will be much better if you didn't hear of it. However, between me & you, I will give you the answers before we get separated. And that's a promise," Mave assured Bowser with a smile.
"Separated?," Bowser asked, felt a bit uneasy upon hearing that word.
"Yeah, it's not like either me or you that will die first. Stop thinking about silly thing. You know, we are in the 1st year, and maybe for 2nd year, we may not be a roomie again. Or you get to stay in RΩR house, and any student who joined a fraternity cannot stay at dorm. And in longer term, we will complete our Scaring major here & will go on our own way. And stop making that sad face. Cheer up will ya!," Mave said while put his arm around Bowser's neck and drag close to him.
"Yeah, I guess so," Bowser just gave a short reply.
Suddenly, Bowser felt sad. He still not quite sure whether he felt that way, because if he get separated from Maverick, he may not get the answers that he deserved, or he simply miss him. These kinds of feelings & imaginations are getting stranger and stranger. Did he already fall in love with Maverick? Is this really what's everyone call 'love'? Maybe Maverick is his best bud right now, but that doesn't mean he will get attracted to him. Well, Maverick is obviously somewhat attracted to him, that's for sure, but still…
As Maverick kept hold his arm around Bowser's neck & stayed close to him, he said, "A lot of things in your mind eh? Don't worry. I will definitely give your answers".
After that, Maverick remembered something and said,"Hey Bowser. Let's go to Jaws Theta Chi fraternity house. I already said that it will be an appointment. And I don't want to let them down, since I'm being quite rude to them earlier".
Bowser immediately released himself from Mave's hold, and thought that it will not be a good idea, considering that he's currently wearing RΩR singlet and maybe one of their members will see him in JθΧ fraternity house. Furthermore, JθΧ & RΩR has a rivalry spirit between them, and he might afraid that, although JθΧ members were nice to him earlier, anything bad can happen to him once inside their fortress.
"I think I will pass. I'm soon-to-become RΩR member, I can't hang out with one of my fraternity's rival.
"Awwww! C'mon! All that fraternity stuffs is just for a game. I'm sure you will be safe & they don't mean any harm to you. Besides, why do you want to go to the dorm so early? It is only 9.00 pm! You want to sleep early like a little kid now? And someone just said earlier he already reached puberty," Mave said while tried to persuade Bowser to join him, and provoke him at the same time.
"I'm not changing my mind. You can go if you want to, but not me. And it IS NOT just for a game. It holds some reputation, honour & stuffs like that," Bowser explained.
"Oh really? If I say, I'm gonna have all the fun with all the chubby monsters & my NEW ADMIRER in the house, will it changed your mind?," Mave said continued to provoke.
Bowser immediately stops to a halt in his walk. From what he just heard from Maverick, thinking that JθΧ members have a few of chubby monsters, big & small, not to mention the likes of George, Dirk, Big Red, and Percy may be somewhat attractive to Maverick, it give a sudden chill to Bowser. If he go to the dorm, and Maverick go to the JθΧ frat house… alone with chubby monsters around him, it will definitely much worse scenario than getting detected by RΩR members.
Bowser quickly responded,"Fine. You win. But on one condition. Let's make this visit a quickie. I don't want to be seen by RΩR members nor do we bump into Howl later. In case you forget, Howl is an Omega Howl fraternity member. His frat house is at frats row too. Deal?".
"Deal! That's my Bowser. I knew you want to come along with me. And I will not let anyone or anybody to hurt you buddy. Oh! On a second thought, are you jealous with me, being all alone with all chubby monsters?," Mave asked.
"Just shut up. I'm not THAT jealous. Now, let's walk a bit more faster shall we?," Bowser answered, while he cannot hide his blush.
Maverick just grinned towards Bowser, although he saw Bowser blushed, he didn't said anything. Later, both of them walk faster and finally arrived at frats row.
"Hmmm… So, this is the frat row. A lot of houses with 3 letters signage. I wonder where it is the JθΧ house. And things look quiet out here & no monsters around, even though I see inside of the house is lit. Why not someone go outdoor & have a date like we were eh Bowser?," Mave said while he looked left & right of many houses along the frat row road.
"What a lame joke that was Mave. Anyway, wait 'till you come here again on Rush Week. There will be pact of monsters along this road for potential recruits to join their fraternity or sorority. And each house will host their party to celebrate for that special week too. It will be a massive & fun event!," Bowser said excitedly.
"That's good to know Bowser. I don't know much about all these fraternity, sorority, rush week & scare games. I'm glad I have someone experienced with me to explain all these things. Oh look! It is Omega Howl frat house! Shall we pay Howl a visit?," Mave said while pointed his finger to a big white light with dark purple colour & light blue stripes covering the ΩH letters.
"If you want to get bitten by me & makes you bleed, go ahead. Enter that house if you dare. JθΧ house should be up ahead, near RΩR house on our left," Bowser said while he gave warning to Mave & explained things at the same time.
"I'm just kidding Bowser. Don't be so violence towards me," Mave reacted while still stared at the house.
"You better be buddy. Now, hurry up! I don't want to see Howl coming out from that door!," Bowser said in assertive tone.
"Okay, okay. I get it. I'm moving…..," Mave said in frustration while he saw the house become smaller in his view as he moved further away from it.
Later, they finally found JθΧ fraternity house. Both of them stood in front of the house's front door.
"Do you think I should knock the door or ring the bell?," Mave asked Bowser.
"Just do whatever you want! Hurry up Mave!," Bowser murmured nervously while he looked to his left & right, and hope he will not be seen by any RΩR members.
"Huh! You are worried about that RΩR issue of yours again. Fine," Maverick decided to knock on the door.
Maverick kept knocking the door but he didn't hear any response. "That's weird. Maybe they are not at home now? The house's light is lit though," Mave said while he tried to look at the window.
"Just push that damn bell button! And don't you go anywhere & leave me here all alone!," Bowser said while he pushed the bell button.
Later Maverick heard a voice coming from inside. "Hey guys. I think we have a visitor. Omar, could you please get the door? You're the fastest with that bat wings of yours".
"Hey! Looks like they are here after all! And Bowser, please stop with your 'over-frighten' act. We are not entering a haunted house in the middle of nowhere. Chill up!," Mave said with a smile and put his hand on Bowser's shoulder as a sign of assurance.
Bowser just stays silent, until the door being opened.
"Oh! It's you guys. Maverick & Reggie right? Nice to meet you. I'm Omar Harris. Sorry, I can't offer a handshake, as I don't have an appendage that look like hand you see," Omar said while he flapped his bat wings & stay hovered.
"Nice to meet you Omar. It's ok. I think I will 'handshake' those tiny arms of yours," Mave said while he grabs Omar's small appendage & shook it.
"Gee…. Not a single monster that I had met so far did that kind of handshake to me, not even my frat brothers did it. I think human is not that toxic or bad of what I might think of them," Omar said.
"Nah. That theory only applied to a small human kid. I'm a human adult now and-," Mave stopped as he got interrupted by Bowser.
"Can we continue our chit-chat in the house? I'm tired to stand still here. So… can we enter the house Omar?," Bowser said.
"Yeah. Of course. Sorry about that guys. Please enter," Omar said while he hovered away to the side and let his visitors to come in.
"Guys! It's Maverick & Reggie! Come here and meet our guests!," Omar shouted to attract attention of his frat brothers & closed the door once Mave & Bowser entered the house.
As Bowser felt a bit relieved that he already entered the house, he still felt uneasy that he is now at his fraternity rival's house. And with all chubby monsters around, he expects the worse. As for Maverick, he can't wait to see all the chubby monsters in JθΧ house, and get to know them better. Or even may flirt with one of them or all of them. An exciting night for Maverick & not-so-fun night for Bowser.
