Yay! Another chapter! Are you happy? By the way, I hope everyone knows that by "Playsquid" I really refer to the word "Playboy" xD

Chapter 10 – Playsquid?

Standing in front of our closed classroom door, I was being really nervous. Lost in thoughts, my right hand rested on the doorknob, not knowing if I should really enter that hellhole. I mean, what will await me there? Will Shiro confront me with what happened yesterday? Or will he just ignore me and act like nothing even happened? Am I the only one being so nervous about this whole thing? Or did the Inklingboy feel the same? Slowly I breathed inn and out. I swallowed. My grip on the doorknob tightened and I hesitated to open the door, but I did it anyway. Quickly I scanned the room, seing the usual suspects there. It didn´t take me long to catch that certain Inklingboy, who happened to be the one I was searching for in the first place. Immediately my mood changed from being nervous to being really pissed off. There he was, sitting on his chair and of course surrounded by various female Inklings of our class. I could also see the envious looks of several Inklingboys, probably wishing to be able to immediately switch places with Shiro. A bitter smile formed on my lips. I guess now I know the answer. That son of a squid was definately a playsquid. No doubt on that anymore..

Slowly I moved my legs to head directly towards the today light blue Inklingboy. Apparently he noticed me because he looked right at me and greeted me with a cheerfull "Good morning". My bitter smile grew only bigger. With a loud sound I crashed my hand on his desk, gathering everyones attention.

Mari who was one of the girls surrounding Shiro gave me a shocked look.

"Oh my squid, Suzu. What is wrong with you?", she asked me while shaking her head in disbelief.

I ignored her. Instead of answering her, I gave Shiro a glare.

"I wouldn´t pay too much attention to him, if I were you. After all he IS a playsquid!", I announced, faking a happy smile.

With that I moved to my desk, placed my schoolbag next to it and seated myself on my chair. It was quiet for a while. I guess nobody didn´t realize what the hell just happened. But after some seconds of tranquility an Inklinggirl finally spoke up.

Shocked, she asked: "Wait, is it true Shiro?"

And right after her question everyone started to babble again. Honestly it was really funny to see all the girls panic like that and Shiro trying his best to somehow get out of his miserable situation.

"That´s what you get..", I whispered to myself, a wide grin plastered on my face.

The commotion didn´t take long to calm down again though, since soon the teacher arrived and started to order everyone back to their seats.

"Before we begin, I´d like to remind all of you that next week we will do a little trip to the sideseas, next to Inkopolis. So be ready to bring some clothes with you, since we will stay the night there.", our teacher reminded us, before she started with the lectures.

Oh my squid, I totally forgot about that trip! And I was so looking forward to it as well, since it would be a whole different scenery compared to big Inkopolis city!

The sideseas were in fact very less inhabitated than Inkopolis, so of course I could enjoy the beautiful and natural surroundings!

Really exited about the new information, I happily nodded to myself and exactly knew, what I would be doing after school today!

"Ooooohh, that one will come in handy!", I talked to myself while I investigated a red-white hoodie.

Nothing special happened during classes. In fact I tried to ignore Shiro as best as I could and luckily he left me alone for once. So I guess he was just fooling around with me. Anyway as soon as classes ended I went to the town central and went shopping in the Booya-base. It wasn´t like I really needed something there, but some new clothes never hurt, right? So with that in mind I bought myself that warm, stylish hoodie and a grey blouse, which looked pretty casual to be honest. Once I was done I headed directly to the main tower in Inkopolis. Of course I was really curious about all the new stuff they brought in turf war and ranked battles! So once there I immediately investigated the information board, where they usually mentioned every single new change. I skipped through all the stuff which I already knew until something special caught my eyes.

Get splatted in ranked battles! There are now three possibilities to enjoy this beautiful chaos.

Splat Zones

Rainmaker

Towercontrol

We promise you that each mode will mess you up the right way!

I smirked to myself. This DID sound really interesting.

"Let´s pick a weapon and INK!"
