Two weeks passed and Casper changed his mind. He wasn't sad about those two beeing a couple. No. He was annoyed. And it wasn't a 'God I wish that were me' - annoyed, more like a 'you are not glued together and you are definetly not one creature, you coexisted before beeing a couple'-annoyed, but he was happy for them. It was a phase after all... at least he hoped it was.
Anyway, this morning they sat in the lab, like the other students, waiting for Prof. Burns to show up. Casper sat next to Ra and Mantha who were pretty concentrated on each other. Casper tried to start a conversation. Pathetic of him to try. "So and then I said- okay." The ghost paused, staring at them. They took a glimpse back, to show him, that the could go on. Casper continued: "Well Like I said... Oh come on!" A long pause again, but this time Casper wasn't recognized. This was going on for the whole week. He wondered how movie friday, well today, would work out that way.
It was their thing to watch a ton of movies on friday night. But concidering that he did spent almost none of his spare time with them over the last week.
Meanwhile at the other side of the room.
Thatch was struggeling over his seat. Dummy sat on it while kissing Slither, pretty intensly if you will. The vampire sighed. Those two where so stressfull.
Yesterday he couldn't even leave the room because of them blocking the door. "Guys?" Both stopped but looked at him pretty annoyed. "Can I sit down? You know on my chair?" They glared at him but then continued kissing each other.
Luckily Professor Burns stepped in and Thatch could finally sit down. Thatch's toughts drove away when the teacher started to talk about the school trip. But he immediately felt a pokeing on his shoulder. "We're sharing a room right?" Slither asked and Thatch remembered. He hadn't told them yet.
"I'm not coming with you." He wispered. The campire answered his friend's "Huh?" with a simple: "Got punished." Slither looked at him annoyed and confused. "Yeah Alder and Dash needed to feel big again.", Thatch just muttered before becoming silent.
It wasn't a good idea to tell his friend about the fact that he got a little too angry over his new relationship. "Great and who is my roommate for the next three days?" Slither muttered. Thatch just shruged his shoulders.
But Slither wasn't the only one with that problem. "You're mean Casp. Now I have to share the room with some douche." Ra complained. "Sorry." The ghost grinned. Mantha tryed to calm her boyfriend. "Ra, calm down, we won't spent much time in our dorms anyway." "You're right and I can sneak into the girls dorms at anytime anyway." The prince joked. "Yeah, because you're a beautiful girl." Mantha laughed and leaned against the mummy. „The hottest you mean." he joked.
Professor Burns then started his lesson, for real now. "We will start with a small groupproject. Get together in a group of three, then read the text I hand out and sumerrize it." Casper looked at his partners, which where cuddling, then he scanned the room for people who could be in need of a partner. It was likely to be left with a ton of work, wich was made for three. No one was left.
Casper sighed, should he even ask if they would help them? He opened his mouth, but closed it immediately when they started giggling. He just started to read through the text Professor Burns gave them.
When he looked around the room again, his eyes met es with Thatch's, who sat with crossed arms next to Dummy and Slither, which were almost as productive as Mantha and Ra. The vampire looked exhausted and Casper couldn't blame him, compared to them Mantha and Ra were enemys.
Casper gave him a sympathetic and understanding smirk. Thatch answered with shruging his shoulders. Both blinked at each other before the ghost got back to work.
Thatch turned around. Refusing to do the work of three. His grades were good, this won't cost him that much. Dummy and Slither were still kissing, when his thoughts drifted away again. Monday he would have his peace. Three solid days without those two, or everyone else. Well except Casper but the vampire guessed he could manage to not meet him. The rest of the lesson went okay, except for getting yelled at by their teacher, but Thatch didn't mind.
On their way to lunch Thatch talked to Mosshead, fucking Mosshead, he never talked to Mosshead.
And the more he talked with him he remembered why. The hell could someone talk that much shit in like three minutes? Dude keep your love life to your self! When they sat down at a table.
Oh here we go. Slither and Dummy started fighting. They already did that when they weren't a couple. Great. He sighed. Of course it was his job to solve that problem.
Casper sat there minding his own business trying not listen to the "nickname fight" of his friends. "No I love you more honey" Ra wispered. "No Babe, I love you the most." Mantha answered, before they stared kissing again.
The ghost was confused, since Mantha was the one who always was making fun about couples, which would bomb each other with nicknames. Casper chewed on the straw of his juice, when he saw his saviour.
Wolfie was about to pass their table. Casper singhed him to sit down from afar. The werewolf froze, he looked at the despairing ghost, then at the couldig couple next to Casp and then shook his head very carefully. Casper's moth formed the word "Please" without a sound. Wolfie shook his head again, feeling obviously very sorry for Casper, but then he stepped backwards and searched for another table. Who could blame him actually. Why sit with a cheesy couple when you could sit with the girl you have the hots for?
Casper realized he probably had been staring at the floor like a psychopath for a few minutes. He turned back to his friends. Ra had his arm wrapped around Mantha. Both smiling. Okay, no one was denying that they were a cute.
Then he remembered. "What's on for movie night by the way?" The ghost asked. Now his friends looked shocked. "What?" He asked, trying to deny that bad feeling. "I'm sorry dude we totally forgot. We booked this table and wanted to go clubbing afterwards." Ra explained. "But we totally can do that tomorrow too we-"
Casper interruped Mantha: "Oh No, it's fine. We can watch movies another day. Enjoy the evening." His friends looked at each other. "You sure?" Ra asked. The ghost nodded. "Thank you Casp." Mantha smiled.
Later that night Casper layed in his bed staring at the sealing. Well Not really. The room was dark. He didn't really notice the music that was playing in the back.
He sighed. He knew it wasn't a big deal. He knew movie friday itself wasn't a big deal either. But still he was hurt. He closed his eyes hoping that would help him calm down.
The ghost muttered to himself: "I'll get used to this. I have to."
