Gill jogged up to his room the second he walked through his front door. The first thing he wanted to do was place his diary back to where it belonged and where it should always stay. The mere thought of anybody reading it made him instantly blush, he had so many embarrassing things written in it. He was about to leave his room when he heard a loud breathing coming from under his bed…
" Father?"
Hamilton huffed back
" How did you know!"
Gill crouched down to look under his bed at his father who had shoved himself between his bed and the floor.
Gill said
" Dad the real question is how did you fit under there?"
Hamilton huffed and puffed his way free and said" Well you see Gill I just wanted to spend more time with my adorable son!"
" Then just spend time with me"
A huge smirk slide its way across Hamilton's jovial face. Gill then turned to him and with a smirk also across his face said
" Oh and dad… Get out"
Hamilton instantly burst into tears and yelled
" There has to be something wrong with you! The way you can break your dear old fathers heart while smirking like that!"
Gill said while still smirking
" I hope the effort was worth it" then he shut his door and collapsed on his bed.
Sometimes living with a person who is as insane as my father is extremely exhausting.
Gill slowly sat back up and ran his hands through his silky platinum blonde hair. For some reason he couldn't shake the feeling somebody else was still watching him.
Luna readjusted herself on the tree branch she had been so elegantly perched on. She took her binoculars back out and focused them in position so she could see directly into Gills room. She had specifically waited until he had gotten home from work so that she could spy on him and feel more connected with him at heart and also so that she could see his absolutely perfect body while he changed into his pajamas later that night. She sat and watched for hours all with a sick smirk on her face, one that very much resembled Gills when he told Hamilton to leave.
The next morning Akari skipped into the Town Hall and yelled
" Good morning Gill!"
He mumbled a quick hello and turned his attention back to his work. When Akari noticed how he had pretty much ignored her she decided to annoy him to make him notice her. She sat down on his desk and said
" Well look who's a busy bee!"
Gill quickly shoved her off and away from him but this time she landed on her feet rather than her face.
" Wow Gill you're so mean to me after I found your diary and everything!"
Akari had only been kidding but when she saw the embarrassment flow to his face turning him red she felt a stab of guilt run deep into her.
" You didn't … read it right?"
" What? No of course not!"
Gill relaxed a little bit into his chair, but before he could say anything to her she quickly jogged up the stairs to start putting away books.
Why should I feel bad? Its not like he even wrote anything important, they were all just stupid Gillish things to write about but still I can't help but feel sick just thinking about what I did and ugh the prank. Surely he would figure out who was behind it.
Akari's thoughts were abruptly put to an end when she heard Gill's footsteps on the stairs. He was now filing away a stack of papers silently while Akari slowly finished putting away books.
"Gill, I finished."
He said
" Oh ok then go sit at the front desk and help whoever comes in."
Akari went down the stairs and sat at the desk doing nothing until Gill joined her downstairs ten minutes later. Akari was doodling while Gill was filling out paperwork after awhile of doing this Akari yawned and said
" Gill talk to me I'm bored!"
" Fine I only have forms to fill out so we can talk quietly."
" Yay! Ok then Gill tell me, how old are you?"
Gill sighed and said
"20"
" No way! Me too! Hey did you know that Luke's only 18? I feel so old compared to him."
" No I never knew that. Are you and Luke good friends?"
Akari smiled and said
"Yea were best friends!"
When Gill heard that Luke was a closer friend to Akari than he was, a pang of jealously resonated through his body but he ignored it and said
" That's good, so everyone's being nice?"
" Yep except I don't think Luna is all that fond of me."
Gill looked at Akari skeptically and said
" Why do you say that?"
" I don't know I just get the feeling that she's fake towards me. That she doesn't want anything to do with me."
Before Gill could explain that the way Luna was acting was just her standard routine towards everybody until she actually got to know him or her, the door of the Town Hall slammed open to reveal a soaking wet Hamilton.
Gill said
" Whoa when did it start raining and why aren't you wearing your rain coat?"
Hamilton waved off his son and said
" Oh Gilbert its not raining! I fell in the river!"
Hamilton stood in a manner that showed he was very proud of himself. Akari jumped up and walked over to the mayor and asked
" Do you need a towel?"
Hamilton shook his head and said
" No thanks dear but thank you for asking! Anyhow I'll be on my silly old way now!" and within a second Hamilton had scrambled out the door and into the evening.
Akari turned towards Gill and said
" Um Gill…"
" I have no idea…"
" I figured you wouldn't know but just wanted to ask anyway and whoa its 5pm already! Well I'll see you tomorrow morning!"
Akari waved and walked out into the clear evening sky. She was on her way to the Inn when she bumped into Luna who was also walking towards the Inn.
" Opps sorry Luna I wasn't paying attention."
Luna brushed off the area of her dress and arm that Akari had bumped into and said with her nose turned up
" It's ok."
But the face she was making told Akari that it was anything but ok.
" Hey Akari where are you headed?"
Akari smiled and said
" I thought I stop at the Inn for awhile."
Luna said
" What a co incidence I'm headed there too! We can go together!"
Akari was shocked from the sudden friendliness oozing out of Luna but she didn't protest it at all and said with a smile
" Of course we can!"
When the two girls walked in and sat at the counter Akari yelled into the kitchen for Chase. They heard a couple of grunts then a banging of pots and pans. Suddenly Chase popped up from no where and said
" Hey girls!" he leaned up against the counter and ran his fingers through his untamed hair trying to make it somewhat more presentable. Akari sat there examining her friend. She noticed how his hair was even more wild than usual and that he had huge purple bags under his eyes.
Akari asked hesitantly
" Hey Chase are you um… okay?"
Chase looked around Nervously and said
" Yea I'm ok…I'm fine its just that ever since I took Maya out she's acting a little…obsessed."
Luna and Akari said in unison
" What do you mean?" they giggled about how they accidentally said it together but quickly focused their attention back towards Chase who whispered nervously
" She's stalking me and acting all creepy…"
Akari laughed and said
" Aw Chase give her a chance maybe your just acting paranoid but anyway have you seen Luke around?"
Chase's eyes widened and said
" That's another thing I haven't seen him around in days! What if he's planning some like massive prank on me?"
Akari sighed and patted her overly tired friend on the back and said
"Chase maybe you need to clam down and take a deep breath?"
Chase said
" Yea your right I just need to relax more…" then he muttered something under his breath and relaxed his shoulders but he was still visibly shaken. After eating and chatting Luna paid and left. Akari stayed so she could walk home with Chase she needed to talk to him and it was obvious he also needed somebody to talk too.
The two walked down the street before Chase could even open his mouth to say anything Akari blurted out
" Chase I don't think we should prank Gill."
Chase stopped in his tracks, shocked at how random and out of nowhere Akari's suggestion was.
He turned towards her and said
" What? No! I've been looking forward to this so much. Please Akari! I'll do anything you want me too just please help me with this prank!"
Akari sighed and looked into his glowing purple eyes that were being lit up by the moon. How could she say no? He looked so cute in the moonlight. She said
" Ugh fine but you owe me so badly Chase! I mean I'm the one who's had to deal with the guilt of stealing his diary!"
Chase over excited with joy picked her up and twirled her around. When they reached her house she hugged her friend goodnight and walked inside her small house where she quickly changed into her pajamas and launched herself into bed over joyed with the feeling of knowing that her and Luna where friends and that it was all just in her head about how Luna didn't like her.
Gill was walking home from working late when her over heard Chase and Akari talking about some prank. Gill just shrugged it off and figured it was a prank that was aimed for someone else but when he heard her say something about a diary he knew instantly that she must've read it and was telling Chase everything she had read and that this prank was aimed at him!
I knew it! I never should've trusted her! I should have stopped her the second she went to look for it!
Gill shook his head clearing his bad ideas. He suddenly felt very embarrassed that he ever even thought that it was aimed for him.
When he walked inside his house Hamilton was nowhere to be seen. When Gill jogged upstairs to look for him he wasn't there either instead he found a note on his bed that said
" Dear beautiful son of mine,
I have gone weasel hunting, I won't be back until 3am so no wild parties and I left you your favorite dinner of catfish nuggets in the toaster oven so make sure they don't catch on fire.
~~Love Hamilton
