I'm sorry I couldn't update of the late. My power went out on Friday and didn't come back until today on Monday (but I had wifi for half of the time and a generator so it was okay). I also just got Microsoft Office on my new computer, so now I don't have to leave my room anymore to post. So yeah, enjoy!
It was only six, yet Jellal was fully ready to go to Laxus's party. He was also extremely nervous and extremely bored.
Jellal has already walked in front of the mirror six times already, checking his outfit and his hair. He had no idea what to wear, so he just put on normal clothes, and he did nothing to his hair. He paced around his room and sat at his desk, starring at his computer's desktop in hopes that something would pop up and entertain him. He turned his phone on and then off, to see if any notifications popped up or if Ultear was texting him. But there was nothing. Just boredom and nerves.
"Jellal!" Siegrain shouted through the door, banging on it as though he was trying to break it down. "Stop shuffling! You sound like a lost zombie!"
Jellal sighed but didn't answered, as he had just crashed on his bed and probably wasn't going to get up now the Siegrain was trying to aggravate him.
"Oi! Mom said you had to talk to me!" Siegrain continued. "Are you gonna stop or not?"
"I'll stop," Jellal replied, not planning on saying anything else.
"Why are you shuffling anyway? Why are you so nervous?" Siegrain then asked.
"I'm going to stop, isn't that enough for you?" Jellal asked.
"No!" Siegrain answered.
"Go away!" Jellal replied.
Jellal could hear a frustrated huff and feet pattering down the steps. Jellal could tell that Siegrain was breaking, not having someone to mess with. Mystogan was immune to Siegrain, successfully able to block out his brother while reading a book and hiding headphones under his hat. Jellal, on the other hand, let Siegrain's words get to him, which is probably why he has a crumbling self-confidence. Breaking Jellal was Siegrain's hobby. However, now after a week of Jellal locking himself away and not speaking to him, Siegrain was getting frustrated with not having anyone to bring down.
Jellal came out a half and hour later, because he had to walk since he did not have a driver's license and his parents were out having dinner together for their anniversary. His parents knew that he was going to a party, but Siegrain didn't.
"Ah, the recluse emerges," Siegrain said as he noticed Jellal coming out of his room. In the living room, Mystogan was reading a book while Siegrain watched TV. "What are you doing out so late? Actually, why are you out at all?"
"I'm going to a party," Jellal answered.
"You're bluffing," Siegrain replied, being pretend-shocked.
"No, he's going to a party," Mystogan informed Siegrain. Mystogan knew because Jellal told him as well, mostly just to keep Siegrain out of the loop.
"Who would invite you to a party? I thought you didn't have any friends," Siegrain continued.
"He went to a new school and made new friends. What do you expect?" Mystogan asked Siegrain.
"So, who invited you?" Siegrain asked.
"My friend, Laxus," Jellal sighed, slowly inching towards the door, hoping to be able to get out of the house as soon as he could. "Can I go?"
"How late are you going to be out?" Siegrain asked.
"I don't know and you aren't my mom," Jellal replied. "Goodbye."
"Wait! I have sooooo many more question, like as to why a kid named Laxus would invite you to a party?" Siegrain asked. "Why would anyone invite you to a party?"
"Because Jellal is obviously friends with Laxus," Mystogan groaned before turning towards his other brother. "Have fun Jellal."
"Thanks," Jellal said as he bolted out of the door, not allowing Siegrain another word in edgewise.
