Cree and everyone else rushed to her side. Cree kneeled down next to her,
she was shaking uncontrollably. '.Cree.' She sounded so weak, so
vulnerable. Like the day they were attacked.
Cree wrapped his arms around her, he smiled warmly at her. 'Don't do this. You know-' Cree was cut off.
'Brother was much better a ruler than I will ever be. why was I left alone?' Cree was reminded how young she still was. He felt guilty for not being there as a friend, but as a lover. Cree hadn't comforted her enough, he knew her brother was gone, and there was no one left but him, he was the only one to protect her.
Cree picked her up in his arms. Millerna looked at her, Megami looked very sick. 'Will. will she be alright? I'm a doctor. I could help.' Millerna offered her help. Megami was pale and sweating.
'She'll be fine. Come on kiddo, you have classes you have to go to.' Cree walked away to clean her up and knock some sense into her.
After school Allen, Hitomi, Von and the others saw Megami. She was working in her study on some papers. Megami growled and hit her four-head against the desk she was sitting at.
'Stupid advanced chemistry! I hate you!' Megami cried out in anger. She snapped her pencil in half. Megami mumbled something incoherent.
'Ummm. Do you need some help?' Hitomi asked, stepping towards the desk. Megami shook her head.
'No no, no, I don't think you can help me. I hate having to do advanced chem.! They give me so much homework!' Megami whined.
'What's advanced chemistry?' Allen asked, genuinely interested.
'Hahaha. I see our little Knight doesn't know.' Dryden teased Allen. 'So you know what it is?' Allen retorted.
'Of course I do. Chemistry is the study of chemicals, like acid and so. You study and read about how each chemical reacts to certain things. I guess when she says 'advanced' it means that it just isn't the basics, it is getting into the really hard things.' Dryden recited.
'Basically.' Megami sighed. 'This is too hard. I don't think my teacher likes me, I asked him for help and he just said that it was too bad and that I shouldn't have taken such a hard course, but I wasn't allowed to choose. They said that I was too good to be with the kids my own age.' Megami was depressed, even more than she had been that morning.
'You have it easy.' Cree walked up and slammed a pile of five thick books on the table. 'The chem. Teacher especially hates me. He pulled me away from the rest of the group and was just like "I saw you looking at some of the girls in the class; I don't want you to be distracted." Pff! What does he know! And besides, I had to look at girls-' Megami smiled devilishly at him.
'So it's your job as a man to look at the ladies huh?' Megami teased him, her head resting on her hands. Cree leaned on the desk and smiled at her.
'No, the teacher picked random groups for chem. Today and I was the only boy in a group of girls that cry over broken nails.' Cree complained.
'Oh yea, I saw that. That was so funny; they made you do all the physical labor. I guess that is too bad for you.' Megami smiled at him.
'Yea, I know I'm in your chem. Class, and I know I'm in your math class as well. Too bad we weren't in the same group.' Cree had an exaggerated dreamy look on his face. Megami pushed him, laughing.
'Are you going to help?' Megami asked him.
'Sure, why not? I have to do it anyways.' Cree pulled out a pencil and some paper and they started to work. Dryden wondered over and picked up Cree's Social Studies book. It had a famous picture from Rome on it. Dryden flipped through it and saw all the paintings and modern day pictures of things. Allen looked at him angrily.
'Dryden, put that book down. It doesn't belong to you!' Allen shot at him.
Cree looked back at them. 'It's okay, that is just my Social book, and it tells of world history and stuff, it is different for every grade so that might have better definitions of things than say what a seventh grade one would have.' Cree went back to work. They had finished chemistry and were now on math, they were just finishing the last few problems. Cree slammed his books shut.
'Well, I have to go; I have to eat dinner with my parents tonight. They say I haven't been home enough lately and that they don't want me to lose touch and get myself killed or something.' Cree complained.
'Yea, I know how you feel; at least your parents keep their promises.' Megami was a little envious of Cree for that.
'But I thought you had dinner with your mother tonight? Don't you Megami?' Cree wondered.
'I do, but being who she is I'll probably do something wrong and she'll cry or yell at me, or do both so it won't be very pleasant either way.' Megami sighed. Cree laughed and patted her on the shoulder.
Cree wrapped his arms around her, he smiled warmly at her. 'Don't do this. You know-' Cree was cut off.
