Mai's P.O.V:
"Well here's your monochrome kiss, and happy 14th birthday Ollie." I said with a giggle while Ollie just sat there in shock.
-Flashback ended-
That was 4 years ago; I really miss those care-free days. Maybe somehow today will be different; he's definitely going to get back at me, after all, today's my birthday. 'I'm sooo screwed this year, Gene is definitely not going to help me this year, and he even set me up on a frigging blind date with some guy from the lab! I didn't even remember his name, and he was all like 'Gene said you wanted to go out with me, I was so happy to hear that, I've been wanting to be with since 4 years ago but I never had the time since you were training or helping the twin train' well jackass if you want to see me you would've made time! I hate guys who make up excuses! And this year Auntie Luella would probably hold a huge celebration for my sweet 16th birthday and no doubt about it everyone from the lab and most of professors will be invited' "this is going to be so awkward" I sighed to myself.
"Stop talking to yourself, you'll look even dumber than you already are." Ollie and his comments are the most irritating things ever known to mankind! I shot him a glare while he just smirked at me as we walked through the front gates of Oxford and everyone just stared at us as like we didn't belong.
"Ollie is it really that weird that we're here?" I asked I started shrink back a bit in between the twin while holding on to their arms like they're the only thing keeping me from bolting. My gosh, it's not our fault that we're supper smart and got in without a problem.
"Just pay them no mind, remember we all worked as hard as they did to get in, even though we got in with little to no effort." He said that part louder than necessary. I let go of their arms and settled for their hands as they dragged me off to class. All three of us majored in parapsychology and psychology.
"Maybe I should have stuck with Naru, Naru the narcissist." I said in a low hiss as we walked to class, with everyone gawking I didn't notice that Ollie was glaring at every guy that even so much as looked in my direction. I know my dress clings a little bit but, it does not deserve such stares. Today wore slightly clingy pale white dress with a floral pattern made with access cloth, Auntie, Uncle, and Madoka bought it for me last year as my birth day present and I thought this would be a good occasion to wear it.
"Mai, can you put on that cardigan before Noll scares everyone around us away with his menacing aura?" Gene taunted with a smirk. I slowly took off my knapsack, the Tommy Hilfiger one that Lin gave me also for my last birthday, and handed it over to Gene and put on my black cardigan that has a crochet floral patterned cross on the back of it.
"But Ollie's aura looks the same as always, well maybe more purple and black then usual but it really isn't that bad, I still think it's pretty." I said with a smile as we took our seats while everyone just eyed us with either envious glares or they would just stare at us like we have two heads. They have suck disgusting auras, so much envy, hate, arrogance, and many other negative thing plastered all over their auras it so ugly and disgusting it made sick, "Gene, do we really have to be here?" I whined, I've always hated being in places like this because I could always see people's true feeling and intentions; and that is why I'm always so hesitant when it comes to being in crowded areas!
"Mai, you know better, plus you were the one who was all excited a while ago about coming here." Ollie really knows how to push my buttons, doesn't he? But in the end, he would always comfort me with a sort of hug and say "It's alright, just look at ours instead and pay no mind to the other, plus doesn't father teach this course?"
Maybe it's me but it seem like the room got much colder as I saw Uncle, I mean Professor Martin walk in with some guy. "Alright class, this is a new year, and that does not give anyone permission to slack off, now who can tell me the similarities and differences between E.S.P and P.K?"
Gene, Ollie and I raised our hand immediately and I got called on, "E.S.P and P.K require extensive training and absolute focus to master, for example like this," I said as me and Gene enter a self-hypnotic and astral-projected ourselves next to Uncle Martin, earning a lot of gasps, and continued "however, unlike P.K, E.S.P isn't as common and only 3 out of 10 people would have it." I finished as me and Gene returned to our bodies "P.K actually is very common and very easy to come by, most poltergeist cases are of human causes, like this." I said as me and Gene both grabbed one of Ollie's hands and he understood. He lifted the table in the middle of the lecture room, high enough for everyone to see and slowly placed it back down.
"Thank you for the wonderful demonstration and explanation; that was quite a treat, now can anyone what me what they just demonstrated?"
-Some time passed-
The way me and Gene resonate Ollie powers were unheard of and I recently found out that I could help those two out by also funneling and resonating his power, and with that, the aluminum block experiment was over, and we were headed home only to find it half decorated in a royal blue theme, massacre style, and Auntie Luella launched herself at me as soon as I got out the car, "Mai! Honey we must get you ready for tonight and your dress is just waiting for you upstairs, come on, come on, hurry, hurry." She dragged me up stairs to one of her special rooms. This one looked like a beauty parlor, except for the queen sized bed on the other half of the room, and on it was a glittery dark purple Greek goddess styled dress with a semi-long train waiting for someone to wear.
"Auntie, it's only my 16th birthday, must we make it such a grand occasion?" I hate parties and the world knew it, well, at least the twins are escorting me. Help me somebody!
Gene P.O.V:
Noll is getting more worked up than usual; no matter how times he denies it, we all know that the one who he loves and cares about the most is Mai. He only drinks the tea that she makes, she is the only one besides me that gets real hug for him, and that look that he has in his eyes whenever she is around, I think even a blind person can feel the love he radiates off of him whenever those two are together.
"Gene, time to go, stop day dreaming." Noll is such a cold hearted ice cube, but I wonder if under all that ice, is a very warm flame.
After we've reached the bottom of the stair case, there was someone at the bottom of the stair case waiting for us; it took us both a minute to realize that it was really Mai. She had on a deep purple glittery dress, her long hair was curled and pin to the left side of her face making it look like a low side pony tail, and she had a little bit of makeup on to emphasize her long lashes and big brown doe-like eyes.
Naru's P.O.V:
It actually took me a minute to recognize Mai when we found her standing at the bottom of the staircase. She had on makeup this time, amazing really since she doesn't even wear makeup for her photo shoots, she looked pretty just the way she was.
"What took you guys so long?!" Mai pouted in such a cute way. You know it's kind of amazing how she is the only one, besides mother, that can pulled off a pout and manage to look cute.
"Well we're here now aren't we?" I said as we walked over to her and took her hand to lead her to where the guesses are. I hope we don't run into that that guy that Gene tied to set Mai up with or I might lose it for many reasons.
We reached the parlor which was next to the ballroom, which is where everyone will go later tonight, any saw an already large enough crowd as it is, and at the door was that guy, what was his name again Brian? Brandy? Whatever it is he better not come here.
"Happy birthday, Mai! Remember me? I'm that guy you went out with Brandon!" that guy really pushes my buttons and he is walking over here when it is clear that Mai doesn't care for him. This guy really has some problems.
Mai really must have been scared of him since she clung to our arm and seemingly shrunk back in size.
Mai's P.O.V:
That creep need to leave me alone I already made it clear that I didn't like him, and his aura made it clear that it was my family fortune and fame that he wanted, not me.
"Ol-Ollie c- can we please leave, I feel kind of sick." I said as I shrunk a bit. Not only can this guy not take a hint, but he has a foul mind and heart!
"Mai, you know we can't do that, come on let's get you some tea ok?" Gene tried to comfort me. I know he thinks that it was his fault, but his true intentions really wouldn't have been seen by someone like Gene, his focus is mainly on spirits while mine's is broad enough to feel both, he couldn't help it.
"I said hey, Mai, are you really going to run away from me?" the guy asked as he grabbed my arm when we turned towards the kitchen so I could get some tea, I slowly turned around, feeling a rush of rage and disgust slowly fill me up replacing my nausea.
I slowly turned to glare at him. I might be sweet and such but when I am mad enough even Lin backs away from me, because after all, he is not the only omyouji in this little family of ours "Release my arm!" I said I a low ominous voice and Gene started to back up a little bit knowing what I was about to do, Brandon or whatever his name was slowly released my arm and Ollie grabbed a hold of me to calm me down.
"Alright, alright there is no need for violence I only came to wish you a happy birthday." He held up his hand in a surrendering position and backed up a bit.
"Leave me alone, I have made it clear that that a pretty boy, with a disgusting and foul heart don't catch my eyes." I said as I turned around to leave and he grabbed my arm again.
Me: OMG, there's a guy after Mai! I wonder who will be the knight in shining armor!
Mai: Why the hell did you set me up with a creep, what does it have to do with me?!
Me: Well that means you'll be saved by someone and don't worry you'll know why later on. Please r&r guys I know things don't make sense now but it would later on and I am soo sorry it took so long to up date
