Chapter 6- Sisters plus wifey equals weirdness:
Irene:
"Someone's skittish," Castiel remarked with a smirk. I jumped and then glared,
"Someone's observant for once."
He chuckled and I stuck out my tongue at him.
"It's reasonable," I said, "my friends are coming."
"You have friends?"
"You have a sense of humor?"
He scowled and then smirked,
"So who are the friends?"
"Ri and Taylor- they'll be coming to Sweet Amoris for a week."
He raised an eyebrow,
"Why?"
"They got expelled from the other school- doing this transfer program thing lessens the expulsion."
"What did they do," Castiel asked curiously.
"Sucked the football team in the bathroom."
Castiel turned red and he took a step back in shock. I laughed,
"It was a rumor spread around by the Queen Bitch there and she bribed the football team to tell the principal that it happened- but it didn't."
Castiel was still red. I laughed,
"Hotshot, your face is almost more red than your hair!"
He scowled and crossed his arms.
I waved at my two friends when I spotted them. They just came off the bus outside the school. Ri's red hair curled around her head, her golden eyes looking excited and tired, and her pale skin was covered with freckles. I noticed I wasn't the only one who got a serious wardrobe change. Ri had on a light green dress that went to her knees with short slightly puffy sleeves with a jean vest over it. Taylor had on a light gray shirt with an odd black vest over it with pink shorts. She also had on a black beanie over her pixie-cut blonde hair. Her bangs framed her slightly tanned face and brought out her purple-tinted eyes. They both waved to me.
"Ay, lass, we've missed ya," Ri said in her kind-of-heavy Irish/Scottish/Gaelic accent. I never asked her if she was Irish, Scottish, or maybe even Gaelic. I was leaning towards Iris though. They both hugged me tightly. I heard someone cough from behind me and turned to see Kim, Rosayla, and Iris.
"Hope ya aren't replacing us, little girl," Kim said as she ruffled my hair. I blushed,
"No, these are my two friends from my old town, Ri, Taylor, this is Kim, Iris…and Rosayla. Guys, this is Ri and Taylor."
"Are you guys the new students that are coming here for that exchange program," Iris asked.
Taylor nodded,
"Yep- it lessens our expulsion."
"You got expelled," Kim asked, "Didn't think little girl was capable of having such rebellious friends," she joked. I chuckled,
"No, it all happened because they were framed for this thing by the Queen Bitch."
"Aye," Ri said, "that wee devil is evil!"
Iris smiled,
"Your accent!"
Ri blushed slightly,
"Aye, lass, I transferred here from homeland a few years ago-"
"-And then she met us," Taylor pitched in as she put her arms around Ri's shoulders and mine.
Rosayla laughed, as did Iris and Kim.
"Help me," I whispered. Ri laughed,
"Nay lass, ya will be getti' no help, or they'll be facing our wrath!"
Taylor grinned evilly.
Nathaniel spotted me and I waved him over,
"Natey boy, these are the two new students you were looking for. This is Ri Byrne and Taylor Smith."
Nathaniel looked mildly irritated at the nickname. Ri tsk'ed,
"Irene, it's not nice ya know, to call the lad by one your devilish nick-names."
I mock saluted and Nathaniel smiled gratefully at her. Then looked curious,
"You're Irish?"
"Half Irish and half Scottish, I got me some Gaelic in there somewhere too, lad, " she said in her accent. I smiled, I totally knew it. Taylor looked up from her video-game and nodded a hello. I rolled my eyes,
"Taylor, you can't play video games all day."
She stuck out her tongue. Ri chuckled,
"She's right, lass, ye can't do that all day- you won't get any of your school done."
Nathaniel smiled and she smiled back. I sensed the feeling of romance in the air and Taylor turned to me, gagging.
Taylor:
"TAKE THAT, BUCKO!"
Irene and Ri sighed in union as I gave them a sheepish expression. I couldn't help it- I was enthusiastic with my video games. This guy with black hair and blue eyes came up- I think that Irene called him Armin. I continued to play on my PSP.
"No, it's just regular duty," Irene mutters and Ri chuckled slightly. I stuck out my tongue,
"You're just upset because last time we played it on my Xbox, I beat you."
She shrugged. Armin turned to me,
"You have an Xbox?"
"360, baby," I cheered. He smiled widely and took my arm in his,
"This is the beginning of a wonderful friendship!"
**** First class I had, I was with Irene. Score! Just as I was about to sit down, this white-haired chick tried to get the seat two- ending up with both our butts squished into the same seat. "Hey, this is my seat," she said, "I always sit next to wifey!" Wifey? I looked and saw Irene blushing. I smirked,
"Oh, so you two are together?" Half the class looked at us. I ignored them. Irene turned several shades of red and sputtered out a response. The white-haired girl laughed,
"You're not the first to think so! But no, wifey and I are just good friends! I have a boyfriend, Leigh!" Oh, that's gotta hurt, I looked to Irene- who avoided my gaze. I shrugged,
"Sorry." Totally not sorry. "Ro-Wifey," Irene said, "This is my friend, Taylor. Taylor this is Rosayla….my wifey?" Rosayla smiled. *** Finally, at lunch, I saw Irene and Ri again. I haven't seen them all day except when we first got here. Though, I did have one class with Irene. Ri was with that Nathaniel guy at one table while Irene was talking with these two guys at the other end of the cafeteria. One had a rebellious look to him and the other looked like some king out of a medieval game. "What's up with the medieval get-up," I asked as I walked up.
"Victorian," Irene corrected, "and I have the same get-up, actually."
I shook my head,
"Nah, you're more….fashionista-gone-fancy, he's looks like something out of a novel."
Irene gave me a weird look and I shrugged,
"I met Armin's brother."
She made an 'oh' face,
"That explains it- you never point out fashion like that."
I shrugged,
"Anyway, who are they?"
Irene smiled. Ri came up with a smile as well.
"Who the lads be?"
Irene motioned to them,
"This is Castiel and Lysander. Cas, Lys, these are my friends I was talking about- Taylor and Ri."
They both nodded a hello. Rosayla came up,
"Wifey!"
She tackled Irene. Ri and I laughed. Ri wiped a fake tear from her eye,
"Ay, that lass be somethin' else."
Apparently, Ri knew Rosayla- cool. Rosa was in our boat of weirdness afterall.
"Would like they to join us after school for our rehearsal," the Lysander guy asked. Rehearsal? Are they in a band? Irene smiled and I saw the Castiel dude scowl at Lysander.
"What do you say," Irene asked me and Ri. Ri shook her head,
"Nay, lass, I have some plans with Nathaniel."
I shrugged,
"I promised Alexy that he could take me shopping- and Armin that we would go to the game store. So…"
I gave the two guys a wink,
"You have Irene all to yourselves."
Both of them blushed. Knew it. Both of them like Irene…that's not going to end well. Irene's oblivious and she…I know she doesn't like them. She can't.
