I flipped open my phone and have the light blind me. After my eyes readjusted themselves, I read the time on the clock. It was 6:30 at night. Damn and I was getting comfortable in the warm bed. Oh well, time to get up.
I lifted myself from my stomach and stretched my arms. Looking around the room, I found the room empty. The guys are out huh? Well, I have some privacy which is a good thing. I grabbed some clothes from my bag.
The bathroom was my next step.
I locked the door in the bathroom and dressed myself. Today was going to be the day where I finally get to have a girl's day out with someone other then a boy loving psycho. And since it was a special day, I decided to where something a little nicer then what I usually where.
I'll be wearing my white shirt with black sleeves that has an intricate design on it. (Of what? I don't know.) It was a bit more loose then tight but that still fails to show that I'm a girl. (Small breast size does that to you.) Semi-loose black jeans with a punk rock belt filled with chains and other little tiny silver things. I put on some fingerless gloves and some punk bracelets. After I brushed my teeth and comb of whatever bit of my hair I could, I left the bathroom.
I grabbed my jacket because I know it will be cold. It is getting to that winter time after all. The whole school was probably sleeping since it is Sunday again. Or it could be as loud as it could get. I have no clue what the student body in this school do at night time so I'm just guessing.
The week after last Sunday was nothing special.
The college stuff I had to do keep me busy the whole time even though Alfred and Gilbert, occasionally, asked me to do stuff with them. To which I ultimately refused.
Kiku knows that I was a girl because Alfred spilled. Not that he's going to tell anybody but it's still nice to keep something like that on the DL. But Kiku is a trustworthy person so it's okay. I can deal with a person like that knowing my secert.
Every time I go to the library now, I have Ivan glaring at my back or glaring at me directly. But since he's on strict watch from the teachers here, he hasn't been able to do anything. But I know better to let my guard down around him. He has that vibe of murderous intent mixed with that creepy aura of his. Even though I have no idea what the hell is up with him.
In any case, I was finally getting away from the school.
"HEY JORDON!"
Or not. . . .
"Hey Alfred." I said monotonously. "What is it? I kind of have something I need to do."
"Oh really?" Alfred looked at my outfit. I was wearing a big oversized black jacket. It's something different then what I have been wearing for the past couple of weeks. (Mattie needs new jackets.) "Where are you going?"
"To the movies." Alfred opened his mouth in excitement. But I interrupted. "It's that brand new scary thriller with lots of blood and screaming. Best of all, it's totally graphic."
Alfred froze in pure horror. I could help but to laugh in my head. . .
It was only once did I see him like this but I'm never going to forget it. Kiku brought in this new game he was developing and let Alfred play it. (HetaOni I believe; I don't know I forgot the title.) I watched from behind but as soon as the monster came, he freaked out and squealed like a girl. It was totally hilarious. But anyways. . . .
"Well the hero would join you but I have something I need to do." Alfred walked away at a fast pace.
I smirked and wandered to the stairs. It was surprising that a lot of people were still at the school grounds even though they could leave at any time. I wonder. Kiku was with Yao and some other random person that I do not know that name of. He had black hair and he was tall. Well taller then Yao that's for sure. He was wearing this weird dress thingy, or at least it's a dress. No wait, it's a hanbok. It's weird for a hanbok though; it's like a mix of the female's and the male's. (Don't ask how I know, I'll tell you later.)
I was about to walk down the stairs but Switzerland's voice made me stop before I took the first step.
"Are you sure that you don't need anything else?" My eyes wandered to the tense blond and his little sister. Lilli shook her head. Then she caught my gaze. She waved her hand. I waved back. Switzerland turned his sister around to look at him. "You're going out with the District of Columbia?"
"It is not a date big brother." Lilli said in a flustered tone. I giggled a little. Lilli heard it and frowned as her face turned red. "Big brother, I have to go. Good-bye and I'll be back soon."
"Okay, fine." Switzerland sighed. Then he looked at me and glared at me. I gave him the peace sign as his little sister came towards me. "Be careful."
"I will." Me and Lilli walked down the stairs. I couldn't help but to feel like I'm being watched a few people. Aka France and Gilbert.
It's been pretty quiet as soon as we started walking. I guess there wasn't much to talk about. She asked me if my injuries were okay. They were, really, but something in my guts is telling me otherwise. But I checked in with Yao and he said I was fine. At least the bruises on my neck are gone and the cuts on my arm are practically gone.
I looked at Lilli and she was a little tense. I wonder why. Maybe she's cold. I would be too if I had to wear a pink summer dress in a weather like this. It's good she has a jacket.
I looked straight ahead and just stayed quiet.
"Jordon?"
"Huh?" I turned my head and looked at Lilli who was looking really concerned. I guess I was dazing out again. "Sorry, Lilli. What were you saying?"
"I was asking if you wanted to eat something before we see the movie." Lilli sighed.
I took out my phone. We had at least an hour of extra time before the movie actually started and even then there were those advertisements. Once we decided to eat somewhere, it's been another quiet walk. Even so, I couldn't help but to feel a certain someone following us.
" . . . So they are now going out to an unawesome dinner. . ."
If you guess Gilbert then you hit that mark.
". . .They will obviously choose a restaurant that is made from the country of love, no?"
If you guessed France too, then congratulations.
"Where do you want to go Lilli?" I asked her in a semi-grated voice. I think those two are far away from us but still close enough to watch us. So talking like this won't hurt my throat, much.
"I don't know." Lilli put her finger on her chin. Then she looked up at me. "What do you recommend?"
"All the places I know are filled with junk food." I admitted. The life of a college student doesn't give you much room to be picky. I sighed and frowned. I really don't think Lilli want to eat some of the things that I would like to eat.
"Actually I don't mind a little junk food." I stared at her in disbelief. Did I hear her right? She giggled at my astonished expression. "Just pick a place. I do not really mind."
"Well let's see." I looked around. We were pretty close to the movie theaters so eating at a place around here would give us enough time. But the only thing I see is Mickey D and I really don't feel like eating there now. "The only place I see is McDonalds."
"Well let's eat there." Lilli started walking. I reached my hand to her but she was already half way to the place. I sighed and followed her. When she turned around she smiled. "Hurry up silly."
"Alright." I sighed.
"Dude, that's not fair!" Damn you Alfred, not you too. "They're going to Mickey Ds. I should go too!"
"Do you want to ruin our cover?" Okay, now that's new. I turned around and sure enough, I saw the spark of yellow in the bushes. "Shit."
So Switzerland is following me with the rest of the idiots. What an overprotective brother. I turned back around and caught up with Lilli. She smiled as I finally caught up with her. I apologized to her for the wait and she just smiled again. As soon as we entered the building her whole mood changed.
"My big brother can me a little too protective sometimes." Lilli sighed.
"So you knew very well that your brother was following us." I confirmed. She just nodded her head. I guess that's Switzerland for you. "Do you there are other idiots following us?"
"Yes, I am aware of their presence." Lilli groaned. I sighed too. So this is what it feels like to be over protected. I think Lilli is a little embarrassed by all this. I would be too if my brother followed me everywhere I go. "Umm Jordon?" I looked at her. She pointed to the register. "What do you want?"
"Oh."
We went silent again after we got our food. But it was hard to talk with five idiots looking at you while you eat. There was Gilbert, Alfred, France or Francis (I finally found out his name) and Switzerland. The last dude is probably a friend of Gilbert and Francis seeing how they are sitting at one table and the other two are sitting at another. I don't know what country he represents but I'm guessing Spain.
He has that Spanish look to him. The brown messy hair, the deep green eyes, and the tan skin are a dead give away. But still you can't judge a book by its cover.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Alfred devouring burgers like they're nothing. Switzerland scooted away from him and still looked at us. As subtle as he could. Hello, Mr. It's-obvious-that-I'm-overprotecting-my-little-sister-by-spying-on-her. I mean, at least try to read the newspaper or something. I mean you just staring at us without something distracting you is very unnerving.
The three other guys were actually trying to be subtle but that was completely failing. Because every single time a girl walks by them, they started to hit on her before she runs away. That's pretty much fail on their part.
We still ate it silence. I finished my burger and crumpled up the paper. There were still some fries left. It would be a waste to throw these out but eating them plain like this will just make you feel like you have to stomach something you hate. But I know just the thing to do. I got up and went up to the register. Then I ordered two ice cream cones before coming back.
"Thank you." Lilli said as I handed her a cone.
I sat down and pick up some fries. Then I dipped it into the ice cream and ate it. After dipping in a couple more fries into my ice cream, I looked up at Lilli. She looked somewhat disgusted.
"What's up?" I asked her as I leaned against the table as I propped up my chin. I dipped in another fry and ate it. She flinched. "Lilli, what's up?"
"Is that a normal American thing?" She asked as a single drop of sweat rolled down her head. When I still didn't answer she pointed to the fry in my hand that I just dipped in ice cream. "Is it normal to dip your french fries in your ice cream like that?"
"It's a habit I picked when I was little." I said as I popped in another French fry in my mouth. I dipped in another French fry and handed it to her. "It's good if you try it."
"I don't know." Lilli laughed nervously. I shrugged my shoulders and ate it. "Why do you do that?"
"Because these fries are bland." I said bluntly as I popped another fry into my mouth. "Besides with these fries being so salty it's nice to have something nice."
I watched Lilli pick up a French fry from the small pile and dip it into her ice cream. When she took the first bite, she gasped. "Oh wow, you're right. It is good."
"I told you so." I smirked. She started laughing. I took out my phone and looked at the time. "Hey Lilli, we should get going if we want to catch the movie."
"Okay."
We cleaned up and left Mickey Ds. And they soon followed us. But I wonder how Alfred is going to deal with watching a freaking scary movie. I have to see this.
-Later, during the movie-
"AHHHHH!" I heard Alfred yell from the row behind us. I had my arm propped up on the arm support and my arm was supporting my head from boredom. "AAAHHHHHH!"
"Alfred is draining the fun from the movie I swear." I muttered under my breath.
I looked at Lilli and she was still holding onto my arm. Making sure the blood doesn't get to my arm no doubt. I'm kind of glad the injuries healed when it did. Lilli was scared, shitless. It's a good movie but it's not really that scary. Well, at least I don't think so. I looked at the screen, just as a body appeared. Lilli shrieked.
So did Alfred. . . . .
"Pa-the-tic." I muttered. To Alfred, not Lilli.
Then the movie ended. The lights slowly turned on and everybody stood up to get out of the theater. Lilli was still gripping my arm in fear. Then she slowly stood up. I had to stand up with her since she still had a good grip on my arm. Slowly we made our way out of the row. But then she slipped. I grabbed her side using my opposite hand. Then set her upright.
"You okay?" I asked her.
"Y-y-yeah." Lilli smiled. I sighed as we both made it out of the theater. She was still shaking. I sighed as I dragged her to another theater. "Ah, where are we going?"
"We're going to watch another movie." I said as I looked behind me. The idiots were going in another direction. I started to quicken my pace. "While we're at it, let's ditch the idiots and brother."
"Good idea but what movie are we going to watch?" Lilli asked.
-Insert Tangled Movie Here-
Lilli stretched her arms as we made it out of the theater. I still had the soda we got before the movie actually started. I took a sip and threw away the rest. Lilli was looking at my and smiled.
"Thank you for letting me watch the scary movie." Lilli smiled. I smiled with her. "I could have never gone through the whole movie by myself."
"I know, and you have my arm to apologize." I joked. She laughed and apologizes anyways. I took out my phone. "It's pretty late. How about we go back to the school?"
"I think I'll go back home." Lilli smiled.
"Home?" I tilted my head to the side. "You mean you don't have a dorm?"
"Oh, yes I have a house." We walked down the stairs and started walking. "Some students prefer to stay in houses then in dorms. That's why they are a lot of houses that belong to the school."
"I see." I put my arms behind my head. "I bet the houses you guys live in is better then my apartment. Oh speaking of which, I need this month's rent."
"Do you live by yourself?" Lilli asked.
"Not really." I looked up at the night sky. "I have two pets with me. Mato and Kumos. Mato is a Brown Havana, a chocolate colored cat. Then there's Kumos who's a Siberian husky. They're really great and most of the time they take care of me instead of me taking care of them. Kumos even know how to unlock the door with the key."
"It seems like you miss your pets." Lilli said in a sad tone.
"Well yeah, I miss them." I smiled as I drop my arms to my sides. Then I looked straight ahead. "But I know they can take care of themselves."
"Why don't you go home instead of being at the dorms with America?" Lilli asked. I looked at her. "I mean you're not exactly the District of Columbia."
"I know." I looked at the ground and stopped walking. "But, I'm in a bad situation right now and I don't want to lose them."
"A bad situation?"
"Yeah." I looked at the park we just arrived to; the same park where I got attacked the first time. I reached my hand to my shoulder; still feeling the insert of the bullet hole. "A bad situation. . . I don't want to risk their safety . . . "
"Are you in danger?"
"A little bit." I laughed darkly.
All of the sudden my stomach started to churn and my head was starting to spin. I gripped Lilli's shoulder and leaned against it. Then I fell to my knees as sweat started to roll down my head.
"Ah, Jordon are you okay?" Lilli asked in a panic. "Jor . . ."
A flash of blue light flashed before my eyes. The images were blurring into the bright white background. I could hardly see them. I strained to get clearer pictures and I did. Red hair.
When I came back to reality Lilli was shaking my shoulder. I looked up at her. I gasped as I saw a silver of shine. I grabbed her shoulder and pushed her to the side.
One gun shot.
One scream.
