Chapter 4: The Argument
"Thorgil, you need to control your temper! What DID those boys do to you?!" Jack yelled, Patrick, Pattie and Thorgil were sitting under a tree while Jack carry on yelling, "You will get expelled! And if you do WHERE WILL YOU GO!? YOU KNOW HOW PRINCIPAL BLACK HEART CAN BE! HAVE YOU GONE INSANE?! WHAT IF THEY CATCH YOU?!"
"Stop the yelling, idiot. You sound like as if you're my mother," Thorgil answered rolling her eyes.
"Thorgil this is SERIOUS. Didn't you hear Master Bard and Principal Black Heart's conversation? This is the last straw and if you don't start controlling you temper you are going to leave The School of Bards." Jack said.
"Thorgil, I don't know what I would do without you…" Pattie said breaking down, wiping her tears with the end of her red braids.
"Geez, Pattie. You. Are. Too. Emotional. I am not going to get expelled," Thorgil said, Jack thought he saw her flinch. Patrick sat quietly on the grass leaning against the tree, he is not good with this kind of conversation.
"… AND if you don't catch up with your exam, you will need to start all over again next year!" Jack continues.
"FINE! FINE! FINE!" Thorgil screeched. "PATTIE LET'S GO BACK TO OUR ROOM, WHERE I AM GOING TO STUDY."
Pattie looked at Jack and Patrick hopeless and then followed the angry maiden up the stairs.
Patrick got up, "Hey Jack, want to talk?" he said.
Jack knew he was just being nice, he understand that boys aren't really good with talking about girls.
"Thanks for your offer, but I don't think there are much left to talk about," Jack said, he doesn't like getting into fights, especially when it is Thorgil. She can ignore you completely for weeks, without uttering a word. Jack sighed and gave Patrick a signal to go back to the boy's dorm.
On their way back, the air was silence. Jack thought this was a the coldest summer he had ever been in. Patrick patted his upset roommate on the back and opened the door leading into their room.
