Chapter 11
October 16 (I don't feel like writing anything in here...) 9:12am
She did some time skipping... great. So she said she doesn't wanna make the readers bored when she told me she has that habit of "one chapter equivalent to one day". Don't get the wrong idea or else she's gonna make me wear a cat maid costume with a swing of her "magical pen".
I don't have to explain the other details but if we put it in short, the author doesn't want to create boredom to "my" story.
"Haven't you been writing lately?" Amy asked me later when she caught me writing on my diary again. For some reasons, she would observe my actions and got curious about the things I'm writing. Before she could peer down my notes, I slammed my diary shut.
"Mind your own business..." I hissed. "Go practice with your violin or something!"
"I'm too lazy. My singing lessons will be two hours away."
"I'll be studying for our science quiz! I need some peaceful atmosphere here!"
First, I was at the library all alone studying for our Science subject when Amy barged in because she's feeling lonely. Elesis usually chews on a pack of gum during class (and the teacher doesn't seem to notice her), Lire is in her goody-goody character to pay attention to class like an A+ student and Mari is killing time in her technical engineering sessions (plus controlling her robot she named Kormet.)
I still couldn't forget about that textbook incident. . .
"Ooh! There's Jinny!" Amy's frown is replaced by a delighted smile. "I'm so happy! I won't be a loner anymore!" She barged out of the library as I sighed in relief. As I go over my notes, I came on my course outline. The notes I have today are too short and not worth for me to ace the quiz. I stood up and went towards the shelves where I went towards the section with the major subjects.
First shelf: Elementary Algebra, Statistics, Calculus. . .
Second shelf: Human Resources Management. . .
Third shelf: Communication Arts, Literature, Spelling & Grammar. . .
Fourth shelf: Integrated Science, Biology, Botany, Physics. . .
The problem is that the Science section is the highest shelf! I asked the librarian if I could borrow the ladder as she agreed. The ladder has a pair of small wheels (I have a bad feeling about this) as I wheeled towards my selected area. I also borrowed a small cart in case I take a stack of books.
Now that I have right about four books (don't ask!) on my wheeling cart, all I have to do is get the last one that seems to be really heavy because it's think and hardbound. I climbed the steps of the ladder as I forced myself to balance to keep the ladder's tiny wheels from rolling.
"Mary, come back here!"
I blinked and moved my head to see the commotion. That female floating demon named Ley barged inside the library chasing a dog with purple fur (I've seen it before). She is followed by another demon in a butler's suit. The dog ran around the aisle as it barked. The blood drained down my face when I realized the canine is at the aisle where I was.
"BASTION MARY!" Ley yelled. "GET BACK HERE!"
But the dog wouldn't listen. I watched as it barked happily while running until its head hit the-
Oh no... please no...
"AAAAHHHH!"
CRASH!
Coincidentally, Lass happens to be in the library for some research. The loud crash snapped him out from his study session. He stood up from his desk, leaving his stuff behind. He went towards the place where the crash started as he saw a stack of books scattered on the floor. The student named Ley von Crimson River sighed in annoyance.
"Now look what you did!" she glared at the purple dog sitting on the floor and wagging its tail. "You could have hurt yourself or even get her killed!"
"What's with the commotion..?" Lass asked as the female demon eyed him and sighed again.
"Bastion broke out from her leash and we ended up chasing her until here. Unfortunately, some purple-haired girl got involved with the accident."
Purple... the word flashed on his mind. The demon butler, Ley's companion, bowed his head.
"We're sorry for the unintentional commotion." he stated. "Please bear with Miss Crimson River's impatience."
"Jeeves!" Ley whined. "You didn't have to tell him that!"
Lass went towards the stack of books where he found Arme sprawled facedown on the floor. A large comic tumor grew on her purple strands as her amethyst eyes were replaced by a pair of cross marks. The boy sighed as he carried her from those stacks of books.
"I'll take her to the clinic." he told Jeeves. "She'll be safe with me."
"Carry on." the butler replied. "We'll put back these books from their respective sections."
"Man, why does it have to rain at this time?" Elesis complained when she saw big droplets of water pouring from the dark clouds. Somehow she got bored sitting on her desk and watching the window earning evaporated droplets on the glass. Lire is also watching the rain with her.
"It's just a drizzle." the female Elf says. "It will go away soon."
Elesis groaned. "I haven't even brought an umbrella with me. Darn rain..."
"It's a good thing I have one!" Amy appeared from out of nowhere facing them as she put her hands on her waist.
"I thought you're hanging out with Jin..." the female redhead says.
Amy giggled. "Oh you~ I just handed him my Algebra notebook so he could copy my answers. And ooh, I just happened to see Ronnie talking to a bunch of girls."
The sound of Ronan's name caused Elesis to twitch as she turned to the pink-haired girl. "H-He wouldn't be flirting with them, would he?"
The pink-haired girl chuckled. "Of course not, silly!" She then put a finger on her chin. "But I remember he is holding a rose..."
What happened next is a chibified Elesis sitting by the wall's corner in a slouching manner enveloped in a depressing aura.
"It's not what you think it is!" Amy retorted.
I regained consciousness as I opened my eyes and find myself looking up on white ceiling. I was lying on a clinic bed under the white sheets. The door opened as Nurse Tammy arrived holding a clipboard.
"Oh, you're awake." she says with a smile. "I was worried you hit your head really hard."
I sat up on bed and clutched my head. "What... happened?"
"That fellow named Isolet came carrying you here when he told me you encountered a freak accident in the library." the nurse stated.
Oh... I remember. Ley's stupid dog came running on the aisle where I was until the canine hit her head hard on the wheeled ladder and sending me speeding forward like hell.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked.
"Three hours." Nurse Tammy answered. "You woke up just in time for lunch break."
Aww man, now I've missed a lot of lessons... again.
"I won't mind if you would like to have your lunch here. There's an extra room here vacant for my patients."
"Great!" I smiled in delight. "I'll just get my- "
The door opened as the usual figure with silver messy hair with a pair of azure eyes arrived holding two lunches. One was his and the other one was... mine.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOLDING MY LUNCH?" I yelped. He is holding the exact lunch! The one wrapped in my favorite yellow table cloth with duckling prints!
"I told Elesis and your friends I'll be eating lunch with you." Lass told me. "It's a good thing I know that you always use this yellow duck table cloth just like what your mother told me."
My lips formed into a pout. "I certainly hope you didn't take any object from me, did you?"
Lass narrowed one silver brow. "Now why would I?"
Nurse Tammy chuckled. "I'll be leaving you two for some privacy. You two stay in the vacant room for your lunch while I check up with my other patients." She went towards the door and gave me a wink before closing it behind her.
Great. . . I'm stuck with the stupid albino freak.
"Uhmm... can I borrow your umbrella?" Lire asked later as she approached Amy trying to comfort the depressed Elesis.
"What for?"
"My grandma left my lunch on the waiting shed and I have to cross outside to get there. I'm really hungry."
"Sure~" Amy smiled as she handed her pink umbrella. Lire took it and went towards the exit. She pressed the small button for it to open. The umbrella ended up breaking out of the handle and flying like a rocket. The female Elf stood frozen on her place.
"I fixed that umbrella just yesterday and it broke again!" Amy cried. "I wasted my total effort screwing it back to place!"
"That was very... unintentional." Lire says while sweat dropping.
"Maybe you would like to look over there, Lire..." Elesis pointed at the slight distance.
At the distance is Ryan attacked by the "rocket umbrella" as it sent him hanging on the hall, probably the umbrella's pointed tip pinning him. The poor druid's chibified ghost floated beside him.
Lire went hysterical as she a chibified her jumped up and down trying to reach for him.
"Do you have a spare one then?" Elesis asked.
Amy toyed with her fingers. "U-Uhmm... y-yeah. I also did the same screwing to it with some masking tape... ehehehe~"
"Heeeelp!"
A masculine voice drenched the air. Sieghart came running like a coward as the dual-eyed Mari chased after him holding two wires with electric sparks dancing around them. The lens of her glasses turned pure white, making it obvious she's probably up to something.
"Hey!" Elesis growled. "What's that guy who thinks he's an immortal and the one holding my name doing in here?"
Sieghart paused from his tracks and turned to face the female redhead. "Well, excuse me, Red, you're the one who holds my precious name. And mind you, I am an immortal and I'm two hundred and eighty five years older than you."
Elesis folded her arms on her chest. "Doesn't seem like it, shorty."
A large anger mark appeared on the "immortal"'s head. "Watch your words, kid. You don't know who you're messing with." His angry facade was replaced by a petrified one when Mari's hand grabbed his collar from behind. Her other hand wielded the electrified wire as the symbol of threat.
"What exactly are you going to do, Mari?" Amy asked.
"Use him as my guinea pig." the cerulean-haired girl replied as she pulled the struggling "immortal"'s collar dragging him across the floor. Elesis had the smirk plastered on her face.
"Good luck with that~!"
"I'm not done with you, Red!" Sieghart managed to mouth out. "You haven't seen the last of meee!"
Elesis snickered. "Ohohoho! I never knew a 'brave and bold immortal' fears a cat-eyed girl with resourceful instincts~"
Meanwhile, a chibified Lire is apologizing to a chibified Ryan who is now sitting on the floor after the female Elf spent her best efforts to get him off the wall instead of taking her lunch from the Information Room counter...
Eating lunch with him was a very bad idea.
First, he uses my yellow duck table cloth to wipe his mouth.
Second, I have the bad feeling my octopus wieners may become spoiled because of him (don't take that seriously, dimwits!)
Third, he claims he had a conversation with my Mom during those previous days. Even worse, she is starting to like him for me.
"You're lucky I was in the library." Lass says. "I wasn't surprised when I saw you buried in a stack of books."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, yeah... the nurse told me you carried me all the way here..."
"Obvious." he avoided my glance. "Not even one day you avoided any misadventures.."
It's because the author is manipulating my actions, stupid! I pondered in hesitation. I certainly can't tell him about the lousy author writing my misadventures. I was about to eat another octopus wiener when everything suddenly froze except me. The background around me transformed into a grayscale image as the midget author appeared from out of nowhere sitting on the table.
"What's wrong? Not contented with this scene?" she asked.
I sighed in annoyance. "You don't say?"
"Look, this is your opportunity to spend more time with him." I noticed that the author has that annoyed look on her face. "Since this story has you and Lass as the featured characters of the story, it's crucial for the readers to at least put a scene with you two together. I'm annoyed because you don't seem satisfied about it."
"YES!" I yelled. "He's meddling with my stuff! You're making him do it!"
"Don't blame me, kid." she says. "It was that fox girl who told him where your lunch is. No harm done." A smirk spread across her face. "Ooh, maybe I could turn your outfit into another cat maid costume. This time, an irreversible costume."
The sound of thunder clap echoed in the background around me.
"No! No!" I retorted. "You'll only turn Lass into a pedobear!"
The author gave me the weird look. "Now why would he become a pedo when you're almost the same age as he is?"
"Nobody knows about his exact age! Maybe he's an immortal in disguise!"
She put her palm on her face. "Arme... if you're trying to guess Lass' exact real age, you might as well ask him."
"And please don't change my outfit!"
"Fine, fine! But I'll be keeping an eye on you, shorty." She said as she disappeared like a cloud. The grayscale background reverted back to the present.
"If you won't finish your wieners, I'll eat them." Lass says as he stared at me with the corner of his eye. I held my lunch protectively.
"I'll eat them myself." I said. I'm gonna let this albino freak meddle with my lunch, too!
This is all I could type for the chapter =A=""
I'm a lousy cliff-hanger when it comes to multi-chaptered stories like this one. Now that I updated for the month of June (don't get the wrong idea of monthly updates ~_~), I'll be playing GC now. I hope you enjoyed this short rushed chapter.
Please review!
