Chapter Five: Friends till the End
"Piero thinks we should do something all together tomorrow," commented Suichi to Shyla as they sat on the roof of the school smoking.
"I don't like him," said Shyla flatly.
"I don't care. I was telling you his thought, meaning we are doing it. I don't ask you want you want because I always know the answer."
Shyla rolled her eyes as she took a breath of the cigarette, "I saw you go into their scanners again. What for?"
"They start to worry when I don't attack."
"What was it this time? I felt us go back in time."
"Took over a big subway system. The people were a panicked mess. I loved it!" he exclaimed taking a puff, "They had this faces, it was unbelievable, they didn't know what to do. How ironic humans are... They do all this sinful things and yet when they are about to die they remember there is a God and they must pray, ask for His forgiveness. Typical thing of them to do, really."
"Wouldn't you?" asked Shyla surprised at his truthful comment.
"No. If you are meant to die, then you will die. Nothing you can do."
"I think there is a greater being out there who might listen and take pity upon you," said Shyla looking up at the stars.
"I wonder if that's what the witches of the Salem village thought when they were burned alive for their "evil doings"," thought Suichi out loud.

"The city of Pompeii was a very civilized society. They had a rich culture and their technology is believed to have been incredible. The Pompeii's were very smart people!" exclaimed the history teacher."Yeah, and that's why every single one of them died!" exclaimed Suichi.
"They didn't know about Mount Vesuvius which...
Suichi cut the teacher short. "Then their technology mustn't have been so great. If they knew the volcano was not dormant, which would have taken an idiot not to know, why would they not monitor it? Hmmmm...? They thought if they hid in the harbor they would be protected from such a fierce catastrophe! Only six of them didn't head for it because they probably knew they would not escape what they had coming! All 300,000 of them died!" screeched Suichi to the class who was wide eyed and scared by his rantings.
"Mr. Axan! HEAD TO THE OFFICE immediately..." said the teacher who was as read as a tomato with anger.
Suichi took a deep breath, "Gladly."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Suichi what is your problem!?!?" exclaimed Shyla as she talked with Suichi in his room. Once again they were smoking, apparently it was the only way they could spend quality time together."Nothing."
"Then why would you do some stupidity like that!"
"I fell deeply for that ancient city, and it's stupidity. I felt the need to argue about it."
"Whatever. So where are we going to go with Piero. I know it isn't just to hang out," said Shyla making a wink gesture with her hands.
"Well actually it is. He has this new girlfriend, but he wants to have a double date."
"I think it's you who's desperate and wants a date," said Shyla inhaling and exhaling smoke. "So I don't want to go."
"Every fucking time Shyla!" Suichi was tired of her playing it tough. He knew that she liked him enough, yet here she was pretending all the time.
Shyla got up and headed out the door quickly. "Bye, Suichi. I'm hungry!" screamed as she ran down the hall actually smiling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey guys," said Shyla as she set down her tray.
"Hi Shyla," answered the gang smiling.
"I haven't seen you in a while Odd!" pointed out Shyla.
"Um... yeah," said Odd not looking at her.
"What's wrong? You mad at me?"
"No, it's just that I haven't been feelings so good, must have been the food," said Odd grinning and rubbing the back of his head.
"Well what are you doing this weekend?" she asked.
"Not much. Why?"
"How would you like to join some of my friends and me on a triple dating deal?" she asked smiling as she took a bite of her burger.
Odd sigh. He thought she was going to ask him to go with her on a date; he still had hopes for them both.
"Sure, but who will I go with?" question Odd.
"With Sam silly," said Shyla laughing. She turned toward Ulrich and Yumi "you guys look like a such a cute couple," with that she left as soon as she had gotten there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You guys having fun?" asked Shyla as she looked at Sam and Odd."Yeah so good so far," answered Sam.
"Good! Want to come to the restroom girls?" asked Shyla.
"YEAH OK" said both in response.
Suichi came to sit next to Odd as the girls left. "So Odd, I wanted to talk to you for a while now. You know about all three of 'us'".
"What do you mean?" asked Odd given a small, fake laugh.
"I know you liked Shyla, but she couldn't be with you because she was with me. I hope you don't hate me for it. I really wanted to be your friend and since that happened I figured you didn't feel the same way. But I feel I should ask you instead. How do you feel about me?" asked Suichi gasping for breath after his long speech.
Odd stayed quiet for a moment, as he thought carefully about the question. "No I don't hate you, in fact I'd like to be your friend," he said sincerely.
Suichi smiled and said "Good 'cause so do I."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What kind of outfit is that Ugly!?" asked the Cici."One which covers my behind," she answered as she walked down the hall heading for her first class. Just as she walked out the door Suichi appeared at her side walking with his hands in his pockets.
"Guess what Shyla?"
"I don't know Suichi what?"
"I made a new friend. And his name is"
"I could care less," said Shyla annoyed, interrupting him.
"Odd."
Shyla head turned so quickly that her head almost snapped. "WHAT!!??!?!?!?"
"Oh now you care," he said rolling his eyes at her.
"Now well duh! You hate the poor guy! What are you planning with this?"
"Nothing. I really just want to be friends. In fact, Odd, Piero, and I are going to go to the that park where you play baseball... Then we'll probably cross the bridge and go eat some Hot Dogs," he said with a cool, calm smile.
"Yeah but that'll just be you and Piero. Knowing you as well as I do, you'll probably try to push him off that bridge. It's like 20 feet high!"
"WHAT! I really want to change my ways Shyla. I want to be friends now that I'm human and all," he looked completely sincere.
"You swear?" she asked still in doubt.
"Cross my heart and hope to die!"
"You will if anything happens to Odd..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Odd? Are you really going to go with Suichi and Piero to the baseball park?""Yeah they asked me if I wanted to go and then eat some lunch like good pals! Why?" asked Odd grinning.
"I just wanted to know," she answered looking out the window. 'I hope they meant it though,' thought Shyla.
A/N: Sorry it took so long but I've been moving to a new house and well I just got my computer connected and working again...
