I've heard of these little things called reviews. PLEASE SEND ME SOME!
Chapter four
Over the next seven months, Zak and I were becoming more like each other. Once I had met Nino (She was about a year younger than me and wore the same black cloak to school every day.), we became friends, too. Nino liked to rush into things without thinking. Sometimes I have to warn her of stuff before she does something stupid.
Nino wanted to be a mage really badly, but really didn't know much to it. She knew the basic magic triangle and who uses what magic, but that was it. I can't brag, though, as even that basic information was new to me. Even though she was my friend, she has been looking at me funny. Staring, if you will.
I've asked her many times to go over to her house, but every time I do, she says her family is doing "Business". Nino had two brothers that I've never seen before, until one day, after school, I went outside and saw Nino's brother, who looked startlingly familiar. After a moment of looking at him, I realized that he was the same Hero who beat up that Sniper when I was five.
So, he's still alive. I thought. He was very muscular, and had flat-top brown hair. His face looked like it could have been made from wood.
"Hey!" I shouted after recognizing him. "You're that guy who pounded that Sniper three years ago!"
He noticed me and looked away, but then looked hard at me, squinting.
"Wait a minute…" He said accusingly. "You're the witness!" He started toward me like he did before, but Nino got in his path.
"Hi, Linus!" She exclaimed. "This is Guy, my friend!"
Linus looked at me and her. "This is your… I see. Let's go, Nino."
When they started walking away, Linus came up to me and said, "You're Nino's friend, so I let you live." He walked away with Nino, who grabbed his hand.
Weird. I realized that Linus was the main reason why I am so into swords. If it weren't for him, I'd just be another archer. I was thinking over that when this brown-haired person who had been following me all day ran in my direction.
"Can you guess who I am?" He said annoyingly.
"I've already told you," I said for the nth time "I don't know who you are, so stop annoying me!"
He seemed startled. "Guy, it's me, Zak! Look, my parents let me use this new thing called 'Dye' to color my hair!" He folded his arms. "Pretty cool, huh?"
I stared. "Uh, yeah I guess. Why'd ya do that?"
"Because black isn't the kind of hair for a paladin!" I laughed, and we went home.
(For all reviewers who question the time that dye was invented, hey, they have it in Runescape (Which belongs to Jagex! Phew.).)
So that was a big day that happened a few months back. When I woke up this morning, I found a package at the foot of my bed. I was confused until I remembered that today was my birthday! I tossed my sheets aside, hopped out of bead, and read the note attached to the package, which read
Guy,
Hope you fulfill your dream
Love, Dad.
Filled with hope, I went rabid on the paper. Inside was a… A WOODEN SWORD! HELLZ YEAH!
It was about two feet long, hand carved, and from my dad. When I held it, I went bezerk. I started slashing at imaginary foes everywhere. By the time I got out of my room, I was panting.
My dad approached me. "How do you like your gift, son?"
"Guy…is…happy…now…" I panted.
I ate some waffles later and took off for school. Holding a package of envelopes, I recalled what Mom told me to do at school
"Now, go to school and invite all of your little friends!"
Friends… I really only had two. I guess I'll have to make up quantity with quality. When I got to school, I found Nino and Zak as soon as I could and gave them invitations. I told them that the party was at 7:00 before taking off. I would have talked to them before heading off to class, but time was short.
I baked cookies for everyone in my class like I was supposed to, but nobody ate them because they are, like, racist toward swordsman-made cookies or something. Zak and Nino tried them when I saw them again during lunch, but the said that they were awful. I almost yelled at them before trying them out myself.
"Ugh!" I said out loud, spitting it out. Note to self: don't use pepper as a secret ingredient to ANYTHING!" I thought to myself. Ms.Katre treated me like she did everyday, what with her abusiveness. This time she yelled at me for bringing sweets for the class.
My ass! I thought. I offered her a cookie, but she turned it down, telling be that she was on a diet.
"You could've fooled me." I grumbled.
"What was that!"
"Nothing!" I got back to my seat and shut up real quick-like.
Later in health class may have been the most embarrassing moment in my life. During one of Mr.Yuch's boring lessons, Nino, who I had never noticed in the class before I met her, stood up and boomed, "This is BORING! Let's lighten things up and sing happy birthday to Guy!" She actually went to the front of the class and started acting like a maestro.
"Haaappy birthday tooo yoooou! C'mon, sing it! Happy…" Nobody else sang along, except for a few noobs in the class (New people; I call everyone noob in real life. N.E.).
After the few people who were singing had stopped, Nino took her seat, smiling at me when she passed by. How can someone smile after doing something that stupid? The other classmates looked at either me or her and just shook their heads.
&&&
After class, the cafeteria had really nothing but fruit to eat, but that's not a bad thing. Zak, Nino, and I found an empty table, which was easy since everyone else was busy crating rumors about us. It was ok, though, because I knew none of it was true.
Nino had barely talked to me after that class. When I finally asked her why, her eyes grew wide with… I dunno? Fear? Excitement? Anticipation?
"Guy," She said after a few seconds of silence, "Could you come with me for a second?"
"Uh, Ok." I replied. When I accompanied her into an empty room, she looked at me. I then realized what the look was. Nervousness.
"Guy, I have something to tell you." She sounded like she had a lump in her throught.
"I r-really l-like-" Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I doubled over.
"Ugh!" I moaned. "Nino, can I get back to you later?" Before waiting for her reply, I rushed off to the bathroom.
After relieving myself, I went back to the cafeteria to find Zak. He was at the same place I had left him. I approached him angrily.
"So, you think it's pretty funny to put laxatives in people's food?"
Zak looked appalled. "Guy, I've never seen a laxative in my-"
I grabbed his arm, twisted it behind his back, and searched his pockets. I found three empty packets of choc-o lax.
"Oh?" I said accusingly, "And I suppose that these were planted on you?"
"Ok, I laxed your food!" He moaned in pain. "Geez, chill out, dude."
I let go of him. His arm was fine, as he was moving it around.
"So," Zak began, "What did Nino have to say back there that was all secrety?"
"Well, because of your little prank, all she got out was 'I really like' before I had to leave her there to relieve myself."
"How long are you going to be sore about that?"
"As long as it takes! Wait a minute…" Zak had a wide grin on all of a sudden.
"Zak…" I asked accusingly, "what are you thinking?"
"Oh, nothing." He said evilly. "Just something that involves an organ, a ring, a bible, and some last-name changing." He started giggling. Suddenly, I realized what he meant.
"Oh, no." I backed away from him. "No, oh no. I am NOT getting married to Nino!" Aww, MAN are you ever wrong! Great, now you're against me! Getting married…HA!"
"Geez, I was just kidding. Lighten up."
I was about to say something else, but the bell rang, signifying the end of lunch. I exited the cafeteria without Zak and headed to the room where I had left Nino. She was still there, almost in the exact same position as I had left her in.
"Uhh, Nino?" I approached her and waved my hand in front of her face. "We gotta go home."
She snapped out of her trance. "Heh heh, right. Gotta go home if I want to go to your party!" Nino sounded nervous again.
"Ooookaaaayyy…" I said, rolling my eyes.
When school was over, Zak, Nino, and I went to our respective houses. I was exited at the thought of what my friends were going to get me as a present.
Wow, long chappy. Well, for me it is. What's wrong with Nino? Does she like Guy? Zak? Leroy Jenkins? (Inside joke.) Now, I know that asking you to review isn't nessesarily going to get me any, so im not going to beg and plead like a sad little- OH DEAR GOD PLEASE REVIEW! (Falls to ground and starts doing the Curly Shuffle.)
