Chapter 24: Truth or Lie
At first it was just to annoy them, but at this point. I'm just struggling not to die laughing every time.
…
"Why are you growling?" Kyle asks.
"I swallowed a sound machine."
…
We're walking down the halls, talking about going and chilling with Alex while she practiced guitar. Then Amanda asks, "Where is your guys' house at?"
Claire smiles and responds, "On the moon."
Alex rolls her eyes and continues on about guitar.
…
At lunch…
"Jim where do you go and eat?"
"I go out in the woods and catch my food like an animal."
Claire couldn't not laugh at that one, she knows I don't like the thought of doing that.
The rest of the group narrows their eyes at me.
"Guys, when are you going to stop bugging them about this stuff?" Maggy nags.
"When they stop lying," Kyle says.
"I'll stop lying to you when you stop asking, or when Merlin turns me back into a human." I say straight faced.
"Pht… Good one," Alex mocks.
"You have no idea…" Claire smiles.
…
Studying in the library…
Jim got especially frustrated with one of his papers from Mrs. Jackson. And he slams his forehead down onto the table, luckily he didn't knock of the mask. But he started eating the homework pages.
He hasn't been sleeping much with school, training Maggie, and taking care of me. He hasn't been eating much either. So he probably isn't thinking straight, and instead is thinking with his stomach.
When the others saw what he was doing, he spit it back out. But Maggie's laughing and the others are utterly confused.
He looks around wide eyed before grinning and saying. "I bet Mrs. Jackson has never had a student tell her that they ate their own homework."
We all had a good laugh on that one.
…
On a cloudy day walking home…
We're talking about our families.
"Jim, do you have any siblings?"
"Uh, no not really," I say.
"What, no far fetched lie?" Kyle asks laughing.
I snarl at him. "What, do you want me to? It's not something I need to lie about."
He throws his hands up in surrender.
Amanda looks at Claire, "How 'bout you girl, you have any siblings?"
She smiles and nods. "Yeah, I have two. Enrique and NotEnrique."
"What?"
"I have one little brother whose name is Enrique, and the other is not."
"Well, what's the other's name?" Ales asks.
"Duno," she smiles. "He can never seem to remember it."
…
At the Pizza place…
"Seriously Jim, this is delicious. Why don't you eat?" Alex asks.
"Because I got cursed by a wizard to never eat in front of another person." I act all dramatic and drape myself over the chair, Claire and Maggie giggling on either side of me.
"You said it's because you have a special diet," Amanda says.
I sit up in the chair, pretending to be thoughtful. "Hmm, guess I did say that. Well, that is true. I can actually only eat this special kind of food that's so incredibly unhealthy for humans that if you were to eat it, you'd get really sick or probably die." I say with a smile.
"Humans?" Alex says.
Shit I said that again.
"Yeah, humans." I repeat calmly.
"Are you not?" Kyle asks.
"Uh, do I look human?"
"Yeeesssss…" My question makes them unsure.
"Good, I was hoping the magic keeping me looking like this was still working."
What? They think I'm lying.
"Hahaha, good one, Jim," Alex says.
"Then why would you say human?" Amanda asks.
"Because, I work with the easter bunny. And he's not a human, he's a bunny."
They all roll their eyes through glares, and stand to leave.
"You know Jim, all of this lying is getting really anoying."
"Yeah, it's not very fun to hang out with someone you know nothing about."
"Why can't you just tell us?"
I take a deep breath.
"Being honest guys," I say. "It's not my secret to tell. And don't you think it gets annoying spending time with someone who is constantly gunning for my secrets? If you'd just stop, then maybe I'd tell you. But I don't ever see you stopping, and that's not fun."
The three of them glare and stand to leave.
"This is getting ridiculous." Amanda says as they walk out.
"I agree," Claire says after they've gone.
…
It was funny for a while, and still is sometimes. But how are Claire and I supposed to keep them as friends, when we can't tell them the truth?
