This chapter is based on Timebreaker. I've changed some things because I don't think they make much sense (to me), others because I don't remember the chapter and I'm not going to see it to make a copy-paste, and others because I wanted to change them. It's written from what I think would be the character's point of view. If you think any of them are OOC, please tell me. I don't know how to say Trocadero in English. Also, I tried to make Alix POV as informal as I could. If you think my writing in English is weird, tell me.
Warning: Swearing. (I think that if the series wasn't "for children" some of the characters would say a lot of bad words, especially her).
Sunlight comes in through the window. The birds sing. I hear the passing of people in the street.
Who the hell opened the window?
Cause it wasn't me. The damn birds won't shut up. And who has drawn the curtains? I hate when sunlight hits my eyes. I wanna sleep!
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Fuck, what time is it?
I turn off the alarm on my cell phone and look at the time.
Seven thirty. Classes start at eight.
I have to get up.
I dress fast. I don't comb my hair. For what? When I comb my hair, it looks worse than it was before, so I only pick up the right side with a hair tie, that side bothers me too much. I wash my face and brush my teeth quickly. I'm not arriving later than Marinette, that would be pathetic. I go out without having breakfast or greeting my family.
When I got to high school, I consider taking off my skates, but I don't have time. So I go up the ramp, well, I trynna go up the ramp, but it's impossible.
Who did build this shit? According to Max, it has sixty degrees. SIXTY DEGREES. Who puts a fucking sixty-degree ramp?
I take a run and go up the ramp. Bad idea, cause when I get to the top I collide with a girl and we both fall.
"Sorry. Very sorry. I didn't see you."
The girl looks at me badly, very serious, a little aggressive. She stands up and shakes off her black stockings and red skirt. And then she holds out her hand and helps me up, without changing her expression. And she goes away. That's all.
"Thanks!" I shout. She ignores me. Strange. But I don't have time to think about it, I have to put the skates in the locker.
I'm on time, despite everything.
What's more, there are quite few people. Surely I saw the time wrong.
My class is small and staggered, so it's easy to see who's missing. I go to my usual seat, to the fourth row. I always sit down alone, so while the teacher arrives, I'm watching my classmates.
Adrien, the new boy, is in the front row sitting with Nino. Since he arrived, Nino has stuck to him like glue and has become his shadow. I don't think he's a bad person, but it seems like he's not being entirely honest about himself, at least he seems to me. Adrien is what someone would expect a Disney fairytale prince to be: handsome, blond, light-eyed, kind, very polite, a bit shy, somewhat serious... In short: boring. But I think he's hiding something, cause Disney princes don't exist. And Nino, the outgoing and partying Nino, tries to bring out that hidden part. I've noticed. I don't know if he knows what's up or he's as curious as I am. I just hope he doesn't lose himself in that process. We don't wanna lose Nino. At least not me, he's my comrade in cap.
Behind them sits Alya, the new girl. She's tablemate with Marinette, but she hasn't arrived yet. Alya is... enthusiastic, outgoing, shameless, gossip. She wants to be a journalist, that's how gossipy she is. But I like her, she's fine. I just haven't talked to her that much. Marinette monopolizes her. She has done exactly what Nino did and has stuck to the new girl.
In the next row is Ivan. He's lonely, grumpy, and a metal-loving brute. All that combined with his large size makes him intimidating. For those who don't know him. I know him and I know that he's a good person, although he can be a bit unfriendly, and that he is very much in love with Mylene. If he ever thought about attacking me, I would blackmail him with it.
In the same row as me, but right at the other end, Nathanael is sleeping. He's a very shy boy who is always in his world. He likes comics, he's quite geek. He sits so far back all the time just cause he always draws and doesn't wanna be disturbed. Also cause he's sleeping half the time. Sometimes we hang out at the art club. I'd like to befriend him, but he doesn't seem like he wants to get close to anyone like that.
On the right side of the room, in the front row, Sabrina and Mylene are sitting down. It's a strange combination of friendship. The nerdy redhead and the short (sadly no more than me) environmentalist couldn't be more different. Sabrina is very intelligent and studious. She's not ashamed of anything, but she won't approach people either. She can be a bit mean at times, making scathing remarks, but she always apologizes right away, like she's scared to be Chloe 2.0. Mylene is very sweet and kind, she has never told a lie, I really believe that it's impossible that she'd ever dislike someone. She often asks the class for help with her tree-planting meetings and things like that, although no one usually goes (I've been a couple of times). But the poor thing has a flaw and it is that she's very fearful. Sabrina and Mylene are very different, but still friends.
Rose and Juleka sit behind them. Those are the opposite, like night and day. Rose is pink and unicorns. She's constant happiness and naivety. All joy, all the time. She's kind too, like Mylene, but sometimes she exhausts me. It is impossible for someone to be so positive ALL THE TIME. There is no reason for me to dislike her, and she doesn't, she just makes me nervous. On the other hand, Juleka is the opposite: very quiet, shy, somewhat negative. And goth, very goth and emo. If there was a definition of emo in the dictionary, her photo would appear next to it. I like her, but being so shy it is very difficult to know her. The only thing I know is that she's tremendously in love with Rose, who would say? As opposed that they are. And Rose is VERY blind to that Juleka crush, as obvious as it is.
Max and Kim enter talking agitatedly about something, well, Kim is, Max is as calm as ever.
Max is the shortest boy in the class. Last year he was shorter than me, but he has grown and now I'm the shortest. Damn Max. He's a nerd obsessed with math, robots, and video games. He spends all his time dropping random numbers to explain anything. Sometimes he makes me nervous, but we are friends, I think.
Kim is... very Kim. Tall, strong, handsome... and an asshole, so asshole. He spends all his time making stupid challenges to everyone, with his stupid little smirk and his stupid arrogant, cocky humor. He has the biggest hubris and ego in France. He gets on my nerves every time he opens his mouth. And the worst thing is that I've known him since I was six and he was five. Ten fucking years. Since we've known each other for so long, I've taken the role of lowering the fumes and putting him in his place. Nobody else wants to do such an arduous task. But despite everything we are... friends. Kinda.
"I telling you that I'm the fastest boy in France, at least my age."
Max sits right in front of me and Kim next to him.
"Kim, according to my calculations, you only exceed sixty percent of boys our age."
"You aren't the fastest in the class, you wouldn't be it in the country." I intervene in their conversation. Kim turns to look at me with a frown.
"And who is supposed to be, Tinkerbell? You? Yes, of course! I bet you couldn't beat me in a race."
"Why don't you focus on swimming and leave people ashore alone? We don't have to put up with you." I trynna calm him down. I wanna stop the idea now. I'm sick of the gambling.
"Does that mean you don't accept? Are you afraid that I'll win? You're a chicken."
"No. I have no reason to accept your nonsense, Hercules."
Kim puts on a smirk. That gets on my nerves. I hate that smirk. It just makes me wanna hit him. I clench my fists not to.
"You're a coward. Coward!"
My eyes meet Max's. He shakes his head subtly.
"Okay. We'll do the race." I hear how Max slaps his forehead with the palm of his hand, commonly known as facepalm.
"Yes! And when I win you'll give me your skates." His stupid smirk gets bigger.
"You won't win. When I win ... " I can't think of anything I want from Kim. Although I can think of something we all want from him "... you won'tchallenge anyone again. Never. In nothing."
The whole class suddenly shuts up and looks at us, paying attention to us. Kim's smirk wipes off his face and he turns deathly pale. This is when I smile.
"At four o'clock at the Trocadero." I declare. Kim gathers himself. Go back to his stupid smile.
"Of course, shorty."
"Don't call me that way."
"We support you, Alix! We'll go see the race" Rose suddenly yells.
"And we!" Nino seconds.
"I'm sick of your stupid challenges!" Sabrina exclaims.
I smile confidently.
"You see how nobody is on your side. Nobody likes your challenges."
"I don't want you to take this to mean that we hate you, Kim. Only, you can become a bit annoying with challenges and not everyone likes that." Mylene reconciles in contrast to my words.
"Don't worry, I'm not offended. You ain't gonna get rid of me." He looks me in the eyes with challenge. I hate that look.
Chloe walks in and that cuts off the conversation. She looks around the room, aware that she interrupted something, and heads to her seat behind me.
"This shorty thinks she's gonna beat me. Ha! Yes, of course! Not in a million years." Kim whispers to Max.
"I don't think you should say that, Alix is right behind here" Max scolds him.
"As if the shorty is gonna do something."
That's all. I can't stand him anymore. Well yes, I'm gonna do something.
I get out if my chair, move to the continuous seat, and lean forward. I put my hand on the back of Kim's neck and slam his head against the desk.
"Oh, my nose!"
"I told you not to call me shorty anymore. Now fuck you."
I sit back in my seat and turn to Chloe. She's a pretty girl, Iim not gonna lie about that, although her natural beauty is spoiled a bit with a lot of makeup that doesn't match each other. She has fair skin, though a little tanned, blue eyes, a small nose, and thin lips. Her hair is blonde and wavy, and falls loose to just past her shoulders, with white sunglasses on it. She wears white pants, flats, and a black and white striped T-shirt with a yellow jacket over it. She always wears those three colors. She is a difficult girl. She is impertinent, rude and haughty. She isn't friends with anyone and does'nt seem to wanna be. She is always tense, very tense. I don't like her, but I'm also curious about what she's hiding and the latter is the one that wins, so I talk to her.
"Today there is a race at four o'clock at the Trocadero."
"Congratulations." she answers sarcastically. "Do you want a prize?"
"I'm inviting you." I cut my automatic bad response.
"I'll pass. I don't feel like seeing losers run for any bullshit."
"It's a challenge between me and Kim. If I win, he won't challenge us again."
"What do I care? I have more important things to do than watch a race between you and Kim."
"I was saying it for you. Only those who go to see the race can get rid of the challenges. But if you can't, I guess Kim can keep challenging just you over and over and over again." I lie. I make sure Kim doesn't hear that or he'll use it as an excuse to keep bothering people.
Chloe stops making a mock disgusted face and gets serious. I have convinced her.
"Okay. I'll go. Happy?"
"Much. Thanks."
It feels good to be the only person in the class that Chloe can't beat.
"Hi kids!" suddenly says our cheerful teacher, Mrs. Bustier. When did she enter?
"Today we have a new student!"
Again? Are all the new students coming to this class or what?
"Come in." she says to someone outside the class.
My surprise is great when the girl enters. She is the girl I bumped into earlier. With the same expression that looks like she's gonna kill someone. Despite that, she is pretty. Her chin-length blue hair is shorter and more combed than mine. Her eyes are brown and slanted, her nose is upturned and her lips somewhat full. She has a very rounded face. She wears a red skirt with black socks and red sports, paired with a white shirt. Her skin is very fair and I think she has freckles, but I'm not sure from here.
Adrien gives a start that is heard in the silent class. Does he know her?
"Introduce yourself." says Mrs. Bustier.
"I am Kagami Tsurugi." Kagami says with a confident and emotionless voice. We all wait for her to say something else, but she doesn't.
"Well." The teacher tries to continue with her cheerful mood. "Would any of you four care if Kagami is your tablemate?"
I look at the options: Ivan, who isn't very sociable or friendly, if Kagami sits next to him, he will have his defenses up; Nathanael, he's shy and I know he wants to sit alone; Chloe definitely not, if I were given the choice of someone from my class to introduce to a stranger, the last one would be Chloe. That leaves me, it will have to be me.
"Kagami can sit next to me, Mrs. Bustier." Kagami comes over and sits on the seat next to me. If she recognizes me, she doesn't seem like that.
"Hi. Do you remember me? The one that ran into you a little while ago? I'm Alix Kubdel.
"Why do you tell her your last name, dweeb?" Chloe interrupts from behind.
"Cause I want, prick." I answer without stopping looking at Kagami and smiling. This time I couldn't bite my tongue.
Kagami doesn't answer me, instead she turns back a bit and looks at Chloe expectantly.
"What?" Kagami just looks at her very seriously. Chloe rolls her eyes "Okay. Chloe Bourgeois, the mayor's daughter." smiles falsely. She's worse than me. I roll my eyes at her and she responds with a grimace. I focus on Kagami again.
"Well, Kagami" I change the subject. "Why have you changed school?"
"I want to join Mr. D'Argencourt's fencing class. To be admitted you have to be part of this institute, because it is an extracurricular activity here and Mr. D'Argencourt's class is the best in Paris."
"Cool. I think Adrien is in that class. He's the blonde in the front row."
"I know." She doesn't say anything else. Okeeeey.
"Hey. This afternoon the whole class met at the Trocadero for a race between Kim" I point out "and me. Come. It's at four o'clock.
"I do not know if my mother will allow me, but I will try."
"Tell her we're meeting for a group job. Always works." I wink at her.
"I will do it." She nods.
The rest of the morning is quiet. Kagami is as talkative as she was at first, that is, nothing.
When I'm going home, my father calls me to go to an expensive restaurant. Oh. Before entering I change my skates and protections for my sneakers and my cap at the door and I go in with the bag of skates and the school backpack. The waiter at the front desk scowls when he sees me.
"Hey guy! Homeless cannot enter. This is a classy restaurant."
I do a simple, but effective thing: give him the finger as I make my way to the table where my father is. Today isn't a good day for me, and of course, being spoken to so disparagingly isn't gonna improve it.
"Hello Dad." I sit in the chair in front of his, leaving the school bag and backpack to my right and the cap on the table "Why did you want me here?"
My father sighs when he sees me.
"Alix, I told you that you didn't have to come so fast. You should have worn something more elegant. Have you seen where we are?"
"I've taken off my cap, isn't that enough?" I point it out "and coming to this place for a birthday is exaggerated."
"Birthdays are important. Also, you turn sixteen, it is the moment when you should receive the family heirloom." He puts an old pocket watch on the table.
"I don't need that, I already have a watch and it's digital." I show him. Hope it doesn't sound too harsh, but I already have a watch, I don't need another.
My father sighs again, I can become stubborn and he knows it.
"But your watch does not do this" he press the cover of the watch and it opens revealing a hologram of a woman. Shit. I have a craving for the watch. "Do you want it now?"
Can I have cravings on my birthday? Wouldn't it be whimsical if I wanted the watch just for a hologram and not cause it's important to the family? Well, for once nothing happens.
"Thanks dad." I look at my watch. It's three o'clock "I'm sorry, but I have to go now. My people await me."
"Already?" He is surprised "But you haven't eaten yet."
"It's okay, I'll do it later."
My father sighs. Again. He gestures toward himself. I put on my cap and stand up to go over to him. He takes my hands.
"Promise me that you will take care of the watch" he says it very seriously. Today he's a bit strange. I don't understand, if you care so much about the family heirloom, why do you give it to me? He should had kept it. Now it's late, I already want it.
I squeeze his hands to assure him that I'm serious.
"I promise."
He puts on a sad smile.
"I love you." Huh? He's sad for telling me that he loves me. He's VERY weird today.
"Love you too." I grab my bags and go. I'm not normally that cheesy, but my dad is weird today and I'm not risking anything. It's okay to say it sometime, he may be sad cause I don't usually do it.
I go home and there I leave the bag of the skates with the sports shoes and the school backpack. Also my mobile, cause I have nowhere to store it, anyway, I can call from my digital watch.
I take my time to get to the Trocadero. I don't wanna get tired on the way. When I arrive they're all there, including Chloe, with a disgusted face, and Marinette, who is always late.
I arrive just in time to hear Kim's question to Max.
"If she doesn't show up, I win, right?"
But he doesn't answer, I do.
"Don't get your hopes up, Hercules."
He comes closer to me. With his stupid little smirk.
"I didn't get my hopes up. I'm gonna win. I'm twice your size."
I approach him, with my confident smile.
"Size doesn't matter."
He lowers his face to bring it closer to mine. I hate that, it just highlights how short I am.
"Is that what you said to your ex?"
I get closer to him.
"No. It's what you said to yours. Oh wait! You don't have."
He gets closer. He's inches from my face. Why does he keep getting closer?
"Look how you dodged the question."
I'm gonig to answer when Max interrupts. He gets between the two of us and separates us. Never mind. I have done what I wanted. Talking to Kim gets on my nerves and I'm gonna use that bad temper to beat him. He even mentioned my ex, who always makes me grumpy. The boy didn't even kiss me. He said, 'I'm gay.' So why are you asking me out? Are you an idiot?
"Enough of stupid arguments." says Max. He points to where the class is gathered next to a line that someone has painted on the floor and stands in front of them. Kim and I step in front of him.
"If Kim wins, Alix will give him her skates. And if Alix wins, Kim will not challenge again. The first to cross this line three times wins."
We get into position. And then I realize that I still have the pocket watch in my hand.
"One moment."
"Do you give up?" Kim asks with too much joy. He's scared.
"You wish."
I'm looking for someone to give my watch to. Kagami is the closest one, so I give it to her.
"Can you hold my watch while I do the race? I don't want it to break."
She nods and I go back to my place.
"Ready? Set. Go!"
The race begins. Kim starts with all his energy, he overtakes me very fast. If he goes at that speed from the beginning to the end he will get tired and it will be easier for me to pass him, he has no resistance. I will overtake him during the third lap, so that he cannot recover.
We do the first lap, he is ahead, I keep at a pace that doesn't tire. I'm starting to pick up momentum and pick up speed.
The third round. I'm getting closer. I hear how he gasps from exhaustion and begins to loosen up cause he thinks he's gonna win. Now. I advance it. I hear his surprise behind me, but it doesn't matter, I just focus on increasing my speed. He can't take it anymore, he can't get ahead of me. And I cross the finish line.
The class celebrates.
"Congratulations, sh..." Kim cuts himself off and gasps a little to hide "...shameful." His eyes widen.
"What?!" Did I hear wrong? Did he just insult me to the face?
"I mean, beautiful" frowns in confusion "...beautiful shameful?
What's wrong with him?! I'm getting mad. Again. Today isn't my day and Kim goes and makes it worse.
"What the hell is wrong with you ?! Has running killed your remaining neurons ?!"
He's scared, I see it in his eyes. He better, he's insulting me.
"This is what happens when you don't let me call you shorty" he excuses himself and I do hate being called a shorty. But of course Kim's insults are him being clumsy, he isn't as good at socializing as he may seem. "Seeing that he offends you less, from now on I'll call you... Tinkerbell."
"Take your watch," Kagami interrupts before I can tell Kim not to call me anything. "Your ability to crush and humiliate a boy twice your size in a physical activity is admirable."
Kagami arrives just in time to calm my annoyance and her compliment makes me happy.
"Thank you." I answer smiling and looking at Kim. He rolls his eyes.
"While he is choking and gasping, you do not even breathe a little faster. You must be in great physical shape. That said, I invite you to my next fencing competition, next week. I am sure you will appreciate fencing."
She's inflating my ego. I like her.
"Of course, thanks."
Someone is approaching me from behind.
"Hey, Tinkerbell" Kim, of course. I turn to make it clear that I don't want nicknames, but in front of my face I see a cupcake. Happy birthday."
He remembered my birthday. Is that why he challenged me today? I look up to look at his face. A warm smile, the kind he rarely does. Their eyes shine and I see a lot of affection, of our friendship, in them. Why did I doubt that we were friends? Is it cause he always makes me angry?
"It's your birthday?" Adrien asks. I stop looking at Kim and remove the smile I didn't know I had put on and turn to him and the rest of the class.
"Yes. But it doesn't matter that you don't know, you've known me for only two months." I answer with a neutral tone, although yes, I am subtly blaming everyone for not remembering my birthday except Adrien, Alya and Kagami, who are new.
Just cause birthdays don't seem so important to me doesn't mean that it's okay for people to forget. I always congratulate everyone on their birthday, even Chloe.
"Happy Birthday!" Marinette says fast. Yeah sure, pretend you remembered.
"Happy Birthday!" exclaim all the others in a hurry. I'd rather they hadn't said it than they were so fake.
"Wasn't necessary to." I don't smile. I really would have preferred they didn't say anything.
I decide to put them aside for a moment and turn my attention to Kim, who has remembered.
"About this?" I ask while looking at the cupcake.
"It was for me, but I heard your stomach rumble: you're hungry, so I've decided to give it to you. You need it more than I do right now."
"Thanks." I don't usually say that word much, what's wrong with me today?
Then I begin to notice that the 'my people' are leaving. What? Adrien walks up to us.
"I'm so sorry, Alix. I ... I have a photoshoot now. If I had known that today is your birthday I would have left the entire day off. I swear. Please believe me." speaks to me urgently and desperately, like he's about to cry or something.
"You are literally one of the three people I'm not blaming. Go to your photoshoot, don't be late." I reply with all the kindness that I can muster now.
They all say goodbye to me and leave. Also Kagami, saying that her mother wanted her home at five. In the end Kim, Max and, surprisingly, Chloe stay with me. I feel my chest and face heat up. And all these people claim to be my friends? My ass! I don't have friends in this class, they just proved it. The only friend I have is Kim, even though he always pisses me off.
"And now?" Chloe asks.
"Now nothing. I'm gonna go my house and you to yours. cause the important thing, the race, is over! There is nothing else that is important to that bunch of ... OF FOOLS!" I wanna cry. This day sucks.
"Ugh. I'm out. Step from seeing how you have an episode" and she goes away. I don't mind.
What I do care is what she said about me. I am very calm.
"Episode ?! I'm not having any episodes!"
"I have not congratulated you because you said that birthdays are not important." Max excuses himself.
"That they're not important doesn't mean that I don't want a fucking congratulations, Max. We're supposed to be friends."
"And we are." if I thought Adrien was desperate, then Max is gonna die.
"Go to hell. I'll go home." I'm going in a hurry with my skates.
"Alix, wait, don't go!" That's Kim. I don't pay attention to him. Now I don't wanna talk to anyone.
My eyes sting, but I'm not gonna cry, that's pathetic. My digital watch is chirping, I am receiving a call. I answer it.
"Happy birthday, little sister. I'm really sorry, but dad and I will be up late investigating and won't be there until eleven. You're still with your friends, aren't you?"
"Of course." I lie. I don't want my father and brother to feel guilty for leaving me alone on my birthday.
"Come home before nine. There's a freezer pizza. You can eat it. Bye."
"Bye."
I get home, change my skates, and lie on the couch.
What a shitty day. They never remember my birthday.
I just wanna cry.
I look at my watch. The only gift I've received today. How did it open? I think my father squeezed the center of the lid. But what was the cap? The flower side or the pentagon side? What difference does it make. If not one it'll be another, so I press the side of the pentagon.
When I press the center of the pentagon the clock opens, but after the initial glow there is not a hologram of a woman, but a small creature.
It is white, with long upturned ears, and two protruding front teeth. Like a rabbit. And floats.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
"You should not have done that! You should not have done that! When I am? You are too young. Okay. Breathe Uff. Uff.''
I get up off the couch and walk away from it. I take the first thing I see, the TV remote, and threaten that thing with it.
"What are you?! What are you doing here?! Answer!"
"You know that a television remote is not going to protect you, don't you?" It says a little more calmly.
"Are you threatening me?!"
"No, no, of course not" it pauses "Let's start over. Hi, I'm Fluff."
If she thinks I'm gonna answer, she's kidding herself.
"Okay. You're scared, I get it, Alix."
"How do you know my name?"
"I am a kwami and I am here because you have awakened me. I'm supposed to be asleep until the time is right. But you have gone ahead and woke me up before my time. How old you? Thirteen?"
"Sixteen."
She is silent for a moment. Now what?
"Oh. Then you are just in time. Hawk Moth is already acting. You have to fight him. It is the job of the Kubdel family. To be the magic bullet for when the miracles of the guardians cannot act.''
What? Am I freaking out?
"Oh, I get it. Kim has drugged me. Their muffin is the only thing I have eaten all day. It had to be him. I knew that giving me his muffin was too nice for him. He's a bastard!"
I feel tears rolling down my cheeks. The only person outside of my family who has remembered my birthday.
Fluff flies up to me, nervous.
"No, do not cry! You are not drugged. I really exist. Kim really wanted to be nice to you."
"Never mind." I wipe my tears. Crying is pathetic and I'm not pathetic "Birthdays aren't important."
"They are. And this is the most important of your life. Because you have received my miracles. The pocket watch. Hawk Moth has the ability to grant magical powers to whoever he wants at any time. His miracle is the butterfly brooch and he uses real butterflies that he infuses with black magic to possess people and give them powers. Your task is to find him and take the miracle from him."
What? Bah, what difference does it make.
"Well. Do you know who he is?"
She is nervous again.
"Yes, but I can't tell you. If I tell you, a series of events will occur leading to catastrophe. Hawk Moth is in a very delicate situation."
This is becoming more and more absurd.
"And then what do I have to do?"
"Find out on your own, without using the miraculos to find out."
Uff. Even my hallucinations are a fucking pain in the ass. I'm gonna make pizza. Fluff follows me and watches as I put the pizza in the oven.
"You have to start learning now. Start by transforming yourself."
Why is she so annoying?
"And then will you let me eat my pizza?
"Yes." She nods without stopping moving.
"Ok." I just wanna eat that greasy thing and lie down to sleep so that this fucking day is over. "How do I do it?"
"You have to carry the miracle, the watch, and say 'Fluff, transform me'''
Ridiculous. Bland hallucination.
"Ok. Let's get this over with and then I can sleep. Fluff, transform me."
Fluff is absorbed by the watch. A light blue shine covers me and I close my eyes. I feel the shine solidify and cover most of my skin, sticking to it. I open my eyes. I'm covered by a white and light blue leather jumpsuit. I have a pompom? on the neck and something on the back. I take what I have on my back and look at it.
An umbrella.
Why?
I can't help staring at it for a few seconds.
An umbrella.
I can't be freaking out forever, I have to eat my pizza. Since I don't know what to do now, I decide to go see my face.
When I look in the mirror I can't help but scream.
I have a light blue and white mask that covers most of my face. The upper part is light blue and covers me from forehead to nose. My cheeks are covered by the white part of the mask. But what made me scream isn't that, but that I have light blue skin. The little of my face that isn't covered by the mask, my lips and my chin, is blue. The whites of my eyes are also light blue, while my irises are white. And my hair is white and a little shorter and combed than normal. I also have, ears? Rabbit ears. At least I don't have the front teeth.
This is too weird. I don't wanna continue with this look. How do I take off this tight thing? I guess saying the opposite than before.
"Detransform me."
The shine covers me again, the tight thing is gone and Fluff is back.
"You have figured out for yourself how to transform yourself. How smart you are, Alix!"
I'm definitely on drugs.
"Smart I? How much has Kim spent on drugs?"
Fluff of laps around my head.
"You're not drugged!"
She flies so fast that I hear it through both ears, the scream enveloping me.
"You know what? I'm gonna crash. And tomorrow none of this will have happened."
She separates and stands in front of my face.
"Eat first. You only had one cupcake today." she says in a much calmer tone, strangely affectionate.
"Okay, and then you leave me alone."
She pouts. Lovely.
This chapter is calm, more or less. But it's the beggining.
Sorry for the mistakes.
Let me know what you think.
