Ch. 18
Raguna POV
"So are you trying to say the both of them slept together?" some girls started saying.
"Wow, I don't think I can call you "young man" after last night. You one-upped me on that area." Erik said
"Nothing happened." I yelled, I looked over to Cinnamon and she was silent and blushing like it was the only thing that would save her life.
"That's not what her face is saying man." A guy from my class said.
"Shut up!" I said to him.
The girls started talking…Gossiping, about this. Soon enough the whole school knew of it.
During lunch time the two of us got bombarded with all sorts of comments and questions, mostly Cinnamon though, such as "When did you two start dating?" and "How did it feel?". Cinnamon just blew all the questions aside and stopped blushing for the first time since we got to school.
"I must let you all know. There was nothing between Raguna and myself last night. I just spent the night at his house. His parents let me use the Guest room and so we slept in different rooms." Cinnamon said
"Where is this Guest room located? I mean…how far from his room?" a girl asked
"Is in front of his room…" Cinnamon answered.
"Besides, her dad threatened me to do some…unspecified experimenting…if I did anything to her." I added.
"So…is everything a lie?" we both heard a voice. We turned our head and saw Uzuki, who seemed ready to cry.
"Come on. Uzuki, girls, you all know me better than that. Would I do such things? By god's sake I'm underage, and besides I'm not even dating her." I said
"So wait, you're not dating anyone?" a girl from the big crowd asked
"No." I simply said, but that one word kinda pulled at my heart making me feel some sort of…guilt I think? Also saying that one word made me wish I was dating Cinnamon.
Right after I said I wasn't dating Cinnamon all girls went insane and started yelling cheers of joy. They yelled things such as; "There is still a chance!" or "My time to shine!" and here was the best one…"Go out with me, Marry me…Do me! Do me!" Yeah, that last one was yelled by the silent girl of the class…In any case, I managed to squirm my way out of the situation and as soon as I made it to my class room it was like everyone in the school had already found out about the fact I wasn't going out with Cinnamon.
"Wow, man. You got all the girls on your butt again?" a guy from class said.
"So young man, all the girls are back to their normal selves. What is your plan of action?" Erik said.
"I said shut up about the young man thing. And secondly, you know I never wanted this to begin with." I replied.
Is true, people call me dense, but I'm aware when a girl is onto me. And to be honest, I don't like it when pretty much every girl I've met in my life wants to kidnap me and force me to get married to them…all I want to know is…Why?
"You are pretty good looking. I myself would kidnap you and force you to marry me, that's to say the least." Selphy said
"Could you please not sound like a psychotic obsessed girl who is also a hardcore pervert?" I replied.
"So why are you here?" Selphy asked
"Well if I go back home I'm bound to get calls at least from the girls in my class. So to avoid dealing with that I decided to come here…" I said motioning the library "…if they come in here they have to keep quiet. If they don't they have to leave. Also, I could use some silent time for some studying."
"You? Study?" Selphy said with a shocked expression on her face.
"Yeah. Cinnamon has thought me a lot. And she has a lot of different books, but I feel awkward going to her place every time." I said
"W-what do you mean? " Selphy said with a big blush on her face.
"I mean magic. Get your head out of the gutter." I replied and walked to a seat on the back of the library.
"So you're learning magic?" I heard a voice. I turned around and saw a girl about half a foot shorter than me…I think…I mean, she was wearing some sort of hat that reminded me of a witch. This girl had pink hair hat if let down would reach just pass her mid-back, but she held it up in two pig tails and by the looks of it messy ones.
"What? Who said magic?" I said she would go away.
"Come on. You don't need to be shy about it. My name's Melody." The girl said
"I'm Raguna. Haven't I seen you somewhere?" I asked
"I don't know. Unless you've gone to the public baths I don't think so." She said
"What does the public bath has to do? Besides you make that sound as if I was peeping in the baths or something." I replied
"haha…I can tell that you wouldn't do such things. And with that I meant that I work there. My parents own the place so I usually go around making sure the changing rooms are clean or sit at the front counter." Melody said.
"Oh, well I'm sorry to say this but I haven't gone to the public baths since I was little…and I mean really little." I said
"Hmm…then I don't know." Melody replied
"Well then, I'll be going now." I said and started walking away.
"WAIT!" she yelled and it echoed through the library.
"Hey you two. Keep it quiet." Selphy called down to us.
"Sorry!" we both replied
"So about the Magic." Melody asked
"I really don't know what you mean." I kept playing dumb "Besides if I did know some sort of magic what would you use it for?"
"I would use it to destroy all humans and take over the world…" Melody said
"So in other words you just want to learn it to know some weird trick that you can show-off to your friends." I said
"was I that easy to read?" Melody asked with a bit of a blush
"Like an open book." I replied
"Please…I promise I won't tell anyone about it." Melody kept insisting.
"Ok…I don't know much about it, but I do know that you have to awaken your Mana so you can use magic." I said "Now how about you find how to do that on your own?" I added.
"I see…you just want me to leave and never come back. You hate me that much." Melody said and covered her face
'Damn…I didn't want to make her cry.' I said to myself.
"Just kidding." Melody said and showed that she never shed one tear. "Ok. I'll go find out how to do that." She said and walked away.
"What a weird girl." I said and just sat down and started working on my reading.
"There he is!" I heard a girl's voice and then a group of girls approached me.
"Dang it, I never get a moment's rest…Selphy, I'll use this window if you don't mind. I'll also leave the book on this desk." I yelled and jumped out of the window and hid in some bushes.
"Where did he go?" the girls started yelling and gave up on looking for me.
"It must hurt being what girls would call "Sexy as Sin"." I heard another unknown voice.
"Who are you?" I asked
"My parents and friends call me Lute." The guy said.
"I'm Raguna. Nice to meet you… I said and then exited my hiding spot. "…you new around here?"
"Yeah, just moved into the city about an hour or two ago." He replied
"Cool." I said "You know…you also look familiar."
"Also? Does that mean it happens a lot?" Lute replied
"Oh yeah, and a lot more often starting a few months ago." I replied
"hehe. Well you might want to get out of here." Lute said
"Why's that?" I asked a bit confused.
"Found him!" a girl yelled
"Don't you ever give up?" I said looking at the group of girls. "See you later Lute!" I added and started running.
"Don't sweat it bro." he yelled and then the girls ran pass him.
I put my hand to my mouth and whistled. Kin showed up a few minutes later.
"Kin…Chase…Girls…Run…Ride…" I said and Kin understood what I mean. 'Kin. Those girls started to chase me. Because of those girls I've had to run for a few hours. Can you give me a ride to the school dungeon?'
Kin slowed down a bit and then bolted running and got between my legs picking me up and kept running to the school.
"Thanks girl." I said regaining my breath.
After a few minutes Kin and I got to the school and walked to the dungeon entrance.
"Do you have a pass?" the guard asked
"Here." I said and showed my entrance pass.
"Alright you may pass, but what about the dog?" he asked
"Oh, she sometimes helps me out with the Dungeons. The first time I passed the Green Ruins was with her." I answered "What's wrong can she not come?"
"I have no idea. This is the first time I see this. I usually see either one person alone going into the dungeons I've guarded or groups of people, but I've never seen anyone with a monster." The guard said "Let me ask my superiors." The guard said and started talking through a walkie-talkie.
A few minutes passed and then the guard came back.
"Ok the dog can pass. But make sure that you give her some sign that she is with you. Maybe some accessory to her choker that shows she is with you would do." The guard said
"Ok, thanks." I said and both Kin and I walked into the dungeon.
"Ready Kin?" I said and the two walked down to the last room.
Jesús: "Alright, that'll be it. I know not as exciting as usual and more of a filler chapter, but meh what can I do about it. As you can all see I introduced two new characters, Melody and Lute, and yes in due time all the characters that were in the RFF game will be in here, which is why I add characters every now and then. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this and come back next time for another update. Please leave a review letting me know what you think. See ya!"
