First Day, First Fist Into Ace's Face
Oliver has had a weird dream. He was in some crazy school for wizards but had no magical powers. All he had were friends and this random raccoon they found in the rain. What a joke. But then he opens his eyes and looks straight at the blue eyes of a ghost.
"What the-!" He jumps back and lands on the floor.
Jesper the ghost laughs, "Hee hee hee... Aren't the two of you supposed to be off cleaning the school today?" Oliver blinked, then he remembered and got up.
"Oh yeah! Sorry!" He said as looked around the bed. The group gave the bed to him and Melody as they had been through a lot yesterday. Susie and Haelth sleep on one of the couches and Scott on another. Grim slept with them in the bed as he worked all day and deserved a good night's sleep. No one argued with that—Grim curled up on Melody's chest and their hand rested on his back. Seeing Melody and Grim sleeping peacefully, Oliver almost didn't want to wake them. Almost.
"Mmmmm... Nngh... Five more minutes, Ma…" Grim twitched in his sleep and Oliver leaned close to them.
"Hey. Hey," When they didn't respond he shouted, "WAKE UP SLEEPING BEAUTIES!" Melody and Grim's eyes shoot open, and in a panic, they fall off the bed.
"Myah?!"
"What the-" Melody stood up with Grim on their shoulder. Jesper and Oliver laugh at them.
"Y-you should have seen your face!" Oliver laughed while he slapped his knee. Melody and Grim got up and glared at him.
"Oliver!" Melody shouted and stomped over to him. Grim hangs on Melody's shoulders while also looking menacing. Oliver blinks realizes the situation he is in and inches to the door.
"Oh sugar honey ice tea!" He took off as Grim and Melody chased him.
"Get him minion!"
"I'm not your minion!"
Jesper laughed as he was left alone in the room, "Aww, youth." He said as he heard glass break.
"Hope you all are hungry!" Susie said as she was done flipping the pancakes on the plate. Grim jumps from the table (which doesn't look stable) to the pancakes.
"GIMME!" Grim shouted but was pulled back by Scott.
"Wait until she serves us!" Scott scolded him. Grim tried to wiggle out of his grip.
"Let go! I want pancakes!" Grim shouted and tried to wiggle out of his hand, which Scott kept a good grip on. Susie just ignores them just like how she ignores Oliver, who was tied up in a chair. She places the plates in front of them and makes a mental note to thank Crowley for not only leaving her food but kitchen staff helping her.
Melody at least fed Oliver his food, though she teased him. She saw that Melody had changed her hair tie to red, meaning she was going to go girl mode today.
"Everyone eat up! We got a big day today!" She called out as they were eating. Everyone eats as they know they have to do their jobs. All but Grim.
"Huh? Why? I ain't cleanin' nothin'! 'm here to study magic so I can be blastin' off spells left and right! Like BAM! POW!" The monster cat waved his paws around as he exclaimed his sound effect.
Scott gives him a deadpan look, "We can just go to the library after, but me and Susie are going shopping." He explained. That catches everyone off guard, except Susie who cringes that Scott said that so carelessly to them.
"What!?" Everyone shouted and Susie gave Scott a knowing look, who just shrugged.
"Why do we have to do janitor duty? Why do you all just go shopping?" Melody asked, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, what she said!" Health added in.
"Yeah!" Grim and Oliver nodded.
Scott gives everyone a look, "That's because you guys get easily distracted." He pointed out and the group immediately went on the defense.
"What, I can so pay attention!" Haelth protested. She slapped her hands on the table, which broke it, and the food and plates fell on the ground. Everyone looked at her in shock.
"…."
Haelth got up, "...I'll clean." She went off to get a broom to clean up the mess.
Melody spoke up next, "Well, I know I'm not as clumsy as Haelth, so I should go shop-" Scott cut her off.
"You know I talked to a couple of students the other day and they said they have some video games here like Dark Souls." Melody's ear perked up.
"Like Dark Soul?" She asked him, giving him her full attention.
"Yep, with high-end graphics and a really good combat system. It sounds cool." Scott told her. Melody stepped toward him with a smile of her own.
"How much money did Crowley give us? I think we need a laptop." She said to Susie and Scott laughed.
"You do realize I made it up?" He told her smirked and Susie rolled her eyes. Melody was stunned, glared at him, and scolded.
"You son of a bi-" Before she could finish, Susie stepped in between.
"Enough! You made your point Scott," Susie scolded him before turning to Melody, "But yeah, Melody you might have to step back on this until we get money." She told her nervously.
Melody sighed, "Fine, I'll go clean." She said leaving to get Haelth so they could get to their janitor jobs.
"How about us?" Oliver asked and then groaned as Grim jumped on his lap.
"Yeah! We're not those clowns! We pay attention!" Grim add-in.
Susie scratched the back of her head, "W-well…"
Scott finishes for her, "If we brought you in, you'd buy out every tuna and piece of clothes." Oliver and Grim's exchange looks.
"Is that a bad thing?" Grim raises an eyebrow at Scott.
"Oh, so you admit it." Grim jumped up and down with his paws punching the air, shouting while Oliver stomped his feet, still bound to the chair.
"What's wrong with clothes/tuna!?" They huffed and Susie patted Scott's shoulder and took over.
"We buy a few things but we can't go overboard! Just let us hold it." Susie wiggled her finger at them.
Oliver hummed a bit before speaking, "30 tuna and 20 clothes." He said. Susie raises an eyebrow, Scott looks at him in disbelief, while Grim lashes out his fork tail.
"No I want 100-" Oliver lifted his leg and knocked the monster off his lap, "Hey!"
Oliver ignores him, "25 tuna cans and 15 clothes." He said, trying to make a deal.
Susie shook her head, "15 tuna and 10 clothes."
"17 tuna cans and 13 clothes."
"18 tuna cans and 14 clothes."
"22 tuna cans and 17 clothes."
"20 tuna cans and 19 clothes."
"21 tuna cans and 18 clothes."
Susie has enough, "25 tuna cans and 40 clothes!" She stomps her foot to prove her point. Scott smacks his forehead.
Oliver smiled and bowed, "Deal!"
Susie raised her head proudly, "Deal!" Grim unties Oliver so they can shake hands, while Scott looks at all of this and shakes his head. Oliver laughs and Grim climbs up shoulder, minding his claws.
"See ya~," Oliver said, humming a bit.
Susie waves to him, "Have fun."
Scott gives her a deadpan look, "You know he tricked you right?"
Susie turns around to him bewildered, "Whaaaat?"
Susie and Scott walk along the stone sidewalk, taking in the sights of the school grounds. They pass some statues that have a wide variety of looks that come straight out of a fairy tale. There is even one with a lion on it and a mermaid whose lower half is an octopus. A couple of students were gathering around the statues talking to each other and looking up at them with awe in their eyes. Not so much as praying but more out of a good luck ritual. The two continued on the path until the buildings were fewer and fewer and then replaced with wood. At an old withered tree, there is a small cottage with odd stuff outside. Candles, a drum, and odd-looking boards that mostly looked green like grass were here and there.
"This is the place?" Scott asked Susie.
She nodded, "From what Crowley told me, this is a shop." She looks at the sign on top of the door, 'Mr. S's Mystery Shop'. She opened the door and was shocked at what was inside the shop. Compared to how normal the outside looked, the inner shop had so many things from easter-looking items, normal-looking clothes you see back in her hometown, to exotic ones, to some stuff that looked straight up like it belonged to fantasy. This shop seems to have it all.
"Well hello there little imps!" Susie jumped as the jolly voice broke out. She turns to see a lithe young adult with magenta eyes, black-and-purple locks flipped over the right side of their head, and an undercut. Beneath his maroon blazer, they wear a bright purple vest.
Susie gasped in surprise, "Woah you startled me!" Scott walked inside and went straight to Susie.
The tall adult laughed at her, "Sorry little imp. Welcome to Mister S's Mystery Shop, little imps! So what do you need? Mandrakes? Lizard tails? Oh, we just got a new bunch of potions!" The shopkeeper listed out all the items he had.
Scott shook his head, "Oh no. We're looking for items on this list sir…," He trails off trying to look for a name tag on the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper laughed as he noticed this, "The name is Sam, little imps! Owner of Mr. S's Mystery Shop and I have all sorts of items here. I've got an impeccable lineup." He said with a smug smile.
Susie handed him a list, "We need these items." She told him as Sam took it.
Sam scanned the list and smiled, "Lucky for you little imps we have these in stock." Susie's and Scott's brighten.
"Oh, thank you, sir!" Susie said, clapping her hands.
Sam laughs, "Follow me little imps! I'll show you where all you desire is, for a price."
"Wow, so this is Main Street, huh? This is incredible!" Grim exclaimed looking at the nice clean streets and statues. He looks at the statues that look like they belong to royalty or something holding a heart staff. Haelth, sweeping up dust from the street, stops, sees Grim, and walks over to the statue he is looking at.
"It is!" Haelth agrees standing beside Grim, "Who do you think this person is?" She asked, looking for a name or something.
Grim shrugs, "I don't know. I didn't get to see them much yesterday. All their faces look pretty scary." He got close to the statue and pointed at their face, "Like, this lady here looks like she's got some real anger management issues."
"You don't know the Queen of Hearts?" A student asked as they walked up to them. Haelth turns and sees a fair-skinned boy with fluffy, orange hair. His eyes are bright scarlet, and over his left eye is a red marking shaped like a heart.
"Who are you?" She asked as Melody and Oliver came walking down to see them talking to a stranger. The boy puts his hands on the back of his head in a relaxed manner.
"Name's Ace. I'm a first-year student here, as of... today! Pleased to meetcha!" He holds his hand for her to shake. Haelth shakes his hand so as not to appear to be rude.
"Oh, I'm Haelth." She told him. Grim hopped on her shoulders and shook Ace's hand.
"I'm Grim! I'm a prodigy who's plannin' to be, like, the greatest mage who ever lived." He pointed at Haelth, Oliver, and Melody, "Those there's my far less interesting hench-humans."
Melody rolled her eyes, "Ignore him. We are not his minions."
"Hey!" Grim shouted but everyone else ignored him.
"Name's Kris but everyone calls me Melody," Melody introduces herself.
Ace tilted his head, "Which one do you prefer?" He asked her.
"I prefer to be called Melody." She told him.
Ace nodded, "Alright then!" He turns to Oliver.
"What's your name?" He asked him.
"Oliver." Oliver shook his hand.
"Haelth, Oliver, and Melody." Ace play around with their names, "Huh. Those names got an odd ring to it." He is blunt pointing out.
"Well, we're from-" Melody covered her mouth. Haelth earned her a glare and the little girl tried to remove her friend's hand but she held tight and put her in a headlock.
"Far away," Oliver answers him, ignoring the girls fighting behind him. Ace's eyes flicked to the girls and back to him.
"Oh ok," He said slowly before changing the topic, "So you guys don't know about the Seven?" Ace asked them. All four of them look at each other.
"No."
"Can't say I have."
"Nope never."
"Is this a cult thing?" Haelth asked, everyone looked at her which got her defense, "What? Did I say something wrong?" She asked and Melody put her hand on her face.
"Ignore her," She said as shoved Haelth. Who yelps as she falls to the ground. Ace trying to hold back his laughter, "Can you tell us more?" That snaps Ace out of his trying-to-hold-together stick.
"Oh! Right! Of course!" He smacks his forehead, " Sorry about that! Anyhow," He pointed at the angry statue, "She was a queen who lived in a maze-like garden of roses long, long ago. She was a strict woman who prized order above all. She wouldn't tolerate a rose being off-color, or her playing-card soldiers being out of step. She ruled over a kingdom of madness, but not one of her subjects dared to defy her. You wanna know why?" He asked leaning in close to Melody before putting his hand to his neck, "Because the punishment for breaking a rule was immediate decapitation!" He said, making a dramatic dead noise.
Grim's fur rose, "Wah! That is seriously messed up!"
Oliver frowned, "Very."
Haelth shrugged her shoulders, "Not the worst story I heard." Melody looked at her like she was crazy.
Ace seems to agree, "Pretty cool, right? I'm a big fan."
"You're a fan of someone who kills people for the tiniest mistakes?" Melody asked him in disbelief.
Ace shrugs, "I mean, who would bother to obey a queen who was kind all the time?" He agreed.
Grim thought it over, "Yeah, true. A leader needs to be strong."
Oliver shook his head, "True you need to be strong but you need to have balance, or the subjects turn against you. I mean, would you like it if you make the slightest mistake and it ends your life?"
Grim holds his paws, "Yeesh! When you put it like that then yeah, no way!" Oliver did notice when the group wasn't paying attention to him, Ace rolled his eyes. But when the group turned their attention back onto him he was all smiles. Oliver narrowed his eyes on him
"Then you might like the Sea Witch who lived in an underwater grotto." He pointed at half-woman-half octopus, "She devoted her life to helping troubled merfolk. If they were willing to pay the price, she'd help them change their appearance, find love, whatever! They say she was so good, there was no wish she couldn't grant. They also say the price was a tad steep, though." He warned in a joke matter, "But she was granting wishes! Of course, it was!"
Haelth eyes widen, "Wait," She runs up to Ace with stars in her eyes, "There are mermaids here?!" She asked excitedly.
Ace took a step back and looked at her confused, "Um…yeah Night Raven College offers up school to many kinds of people." He told her.
Haelth seemed excited, "This is so cool!" Melody pushes her back before turning to Ace, ignoring Haelth's clawing and biting her arm.
"Can you tell us more?" She asked.
Ace smirked, "Of course!" He told the group about the King of Beast who got the throne through cunning alone and made the kingdom see hyenas as equals. The Sorcerer of the Sands is the advisor of a dumb sultan who saves the sultan's daughter from marrying a man trying to make him believe he is a prince. A queen who was said to be the fairest and who worked hard to make sure her beauty was the best of the best. A king of the underworld who single-handedly ruled a kingdom packed with rambunctious spirits and worked tirelessly for that. Finally, the Thorn Fairy who lived on a mythical mountain, was noble and elegant, and a master of magic and curses. Oliver could have sworn he had seen these people before but where?
But then Ace turned to them with a cocky grin and Oliver knew what he was going to say.
"Pretty cool, huh? Not like some piddling weasel." He smirked.
Grim's ear perked up in disbelief, "Myah?!"
Ace laughs at his face, "Pfft... Ah ha ha! I can't hold it back anymore! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Oliver narrowed his eyes at the boy, "Come on, you're the ones who turned orientation into such a fiasco, right? The one summoned by the Dark Mirror who can't even use magic, and the monster no one summoned at all." Grim's fur stood up and Haelth growled, about to lunge at the boy but Melody held her back, "It took everything I had not to burst into laughter right in the middle of the ceremony!"
"Let me go! I'll kick your ass you twit!" Haelth growled and tried to wiggle out of Melody's grip.
"Stop you idiot!" She hissed at her, "He's only getting a rise out of you!"
"H-hey! You don't gotta be a jerk about it!" Grim stomps his feet only causing the boy to laugh.
"So in the end, none of you got admitted, and now you're janitors? Ah ha ha! SO lame!" Grim bares his teeth.
"What did you just call me?!" Oliver put a hand on his back to calm him down, "Huh?"
"Let me hold this," he whispered to him and walked up to Ace, "Funny thing, you call us lame when you just said you stood there and let Grim burn down the school."
Ace begins to frown, "Like that weasel could have done anything with the teachers and Housewardens there. They caught him and threw him out." Grim growled at being reminded of being collared.
Oliver smirked, "Oh really?" He put a finger on his chin, "Because if I remember correctly, they were having trouble catching Grim. The only one that caught him was Haelth here," Haelth held her head up proudly, "If anything YOU'RE the lame one here because unlike Haelth here who can't do magic, she caught Grim while you did nothing." He smirked while Ace got a little red in the face.
"OOOOOOO! He told you!" Haelth jabbed at him.
Ace glared at her, "He did not OWN me! You guys don't even know who the Great Seven are! Maybe before you try getting into the academy again, you ought to take a second crack at kindergarten?" He jabbed back with a smirk. Haelth lunges for him but Melody holds her back.
"Let me go! Let me go! I'll make him bald!" Haelth shouted, struggling against Melody's grip.
Ace has a smug grin, "Anyway, just thought I'd tease you a bit. And man am I glad I did. It's been a blast!" He turns away and starts to walk away, "Unlike you, I have classes to get to, so I'll let you get back to picking up trash. Bye!" Haelth angrily shouted at him but Melody held her back.
But no one thought of holding Grim back.
"Myuh-uh! You ain't walkin' away from me! It's too late for that!" Grim ran forward and Oliver, startled, tried to catch him.
"Grim, wait!"
"Myaaaaah!" Grim threw a fireball at him. Ace heard Oliver's shouting, feeling the heat spike up suddenly and he saw a fireball heading his way. Ace's eyes widen and throws himself on the ground.
"Whoa!" Ace glared at the monster cat, who glared at him.
"No one makes fun of Grim, Master of Fire! I'm gonna make that explodey-head of yours explode all over again!" Grim hissed. Ace got up and stomped to where Grim was.
"Explodey-head?! You wanna throw down with me, shorty? You got some guts." He pulled out a pen, "You wanna talk hair, huh? I'm gonna shave you like a toy poodle!"
Oliver tried to inject by saying, "Guys stop! You two shouldn't fight on your first day-" He was cut off by Melody's yelp of pain.
"She fucking bite me!" Melody yelled as a pair of shoes came closer and closer.
"Ackk!" Haelth punches Ace in the face "Let's get him Grim!" She shouted and Grim grinned, rushing to her side.
"Let's go, my minion! Get him!" Melody and Oliver rush to stop the idiots from ganging up on Ace.
Susie and Scott got a shopping cart with a bunch of items. From pest control to cleaning supplies, and even some food. Again Susie has to thank Crowley for giving them some money. She was amazed at how much Sam had in here, from clothes, books, and mundane supplies, to man-made horrors beyond her wildest imagination. She even saw cell phones on display on a glass table. Susie stops and looks at them. She knew they were going to need phones sooner or later. But then she looked at prices. It was too much. Maybe they save up and buy it?
"Oh, hey!" Susie turns around and is surprised to see Kalim there, wearing a different outfit from most students but knowing him from hair, eyes, and voice, "I haven't seen you since the ceremony. How are you, Kalim?" She asked, walking up to him.
Kalim rubbed the back of his head laughing, "Good so far! I was here to get a few supplies for a party for freshmen in my dorm." His eyes brighten, "Oh you guys should join in as well!"
Susie looks at her bags, "Well…" She looks at the items they have in the cart. It will take a while for them to fix Ramshackle Dorm, but maybe that night would be good, "I guess." She said, smiling at him.
Kalim broke into a grin, "Oh right! Do any of your group have food allergies or don't like any loud noises?" He asked her at a rapid pace.
"Oh! I-um," She tried to speak up but Kalim opened his mouth to ask another question.
"Kalim." A tired voice called out. Kalim and Susie turn to see a dark-skinned teenager of average height. His eyes are a charcoal gray, and as he got close, Susie realized that he wears subtle brown eyeshadow and has sharp eyes that give the illusion of eyeliner. His hair is black and reaches past his waist in length. He has most of his hair tied in a low ponytail, with some locks in tight braids and tied with small gold clips, "Give the girl a chance to talk. She can't speak up unless you give her a chance." The newcomer pointed out.
Kalim rubbed the back of his head, "Oh right!" He laughs before he turns to Susie, "Susie, this is Jamil, my friend! Jamil, this is Susie! The one I told you about yesterday!" He exclaimed.
Jamil smiles at her, "Nice to meet you. Kalim told me how you saved his life during the ceremony." He said holding out his hand for her to take.
"Nice to meet you." She said shaking his hand. Scott walks up next to them.
"What's going on here?" Scott asked them as he got close.
Susie giggled, "This is Kalim and Jamil, they want to invite us to a welcome party."
Kalim nodded happily, "Yep! Your whole group is invited! Are you guys students? I didn't know Night Raven College accepted students with no magic or girls." He asked them.
Scott waved him off, "No we're just cleaning staff now."
Kalim's face fell a bit, "Aww, and I hope we were going to study together!" He said and Jamil sighed.
Susie chuckled, "Hey we can talk to each other when see each down the hallway." Kalim's face perks up.
"That's true. What's your number? Do have Magicam?" He asked and Susie's face fell.
She shook her head, "No our phones got lost in a carriage." Susie told him.
Kalim looks concerned, "Oh, are you guys going to get replacements?" He asked her.
Susie rubbed the back of her neck, "When we get enough money…" Kalim beams and Jamil sighs.
"Oh, I can buy you a phone!" He exclaimed heading toward the glass table that displayed the phone. Susie and Scott followed him.
"Oh, you don't have to do that." She told him.
But Kailm shrugs his shoulders, "Hey, you saved my butt. So consider this payback." He said. Susie wanted to argue with him but Jamil shook his head.
"Don't bother," He put his hand on her shoulder, "Once he sets his mind to something, he'll go through with it." He sighs. It is a normal thing from what Susie can guess….
Kalim looks at the display case and turns to Sam.
"Do you have the latest phone?" He asked.
Sam grinned and answered him, "In stock, now!"
"Cool, can you give me," He paused and turned to Susie, "Oh, how many are in your little group?" He asked her.
"4 not including me and Scott. But Kalim you don't need-"
Kalim ignored her, "Cool can you give me 6? With the biggest storage!" He told Sam, who nodded.
"Right away little imp!" He said and then disappeared in the back. Scott took a curious look at the display case and his eyes widened at the numbers.
"How can you afford that much?" He asked Kalim, who struggled as if it was not a big deal.
"My family pays for me." He told them, "My dad is a trader." He explained. Then they talked for hours and Susie and Scott wanted to carry their groceries, no matter what Kalim and Jamil kept telling them it was fine. Susie already felt bad enough that Kalim spent that much money on them, and doesn't want to spend more of his time. They saw a bunch of people gathering around Main Street, followed by sounds of crashing and yelling.
"What's going on here?" Scott asked, eyed the street, wary. Kalim and Susie too but Jamil stands in front of them. He looked at where the group was gathering and saw a gust of wind being thrown in the air.
Jamil shook his head, "Some idiots decide to fight on campus." He said. Susie walked to his side as she wondered who was starting a fight.
"EAT DIRT YOU GINGER!" "YOU'RE GINGER TOO DUMBASS!"
"BUT MINE'S PRETTIER!" Susie's eyes widen and turn to lock eyes with Scott.
"That's Haelth!" Susie rushed forward and pushed her way through a crowd. Ignoring the students yelling at her to get into the front and saw Haelth on the back of some taller student with spiked hair, clawing and biting him. The boy tried to shake her off but Grim kept on throwing fireballs at him. Grim was also dodging Melody and Oliver trying to catch him.
"HA! HA! Keep at it, minion!" Grim laughs in glee as ducks under Melody's hand.
"Come back here you rat!" She growled.
"Get off!" The student shouted trying to pull Haelth off. But the smaller girl was stubborn and clung to him.
"Not until you take that back!" She said.
"Take that!" Grim threw a fireball at the student who ducked.
Susie was about to rush in but Scott grabbed her arm.
"Are you stupid?! They're throwing fire and wind at each other!" He hissed, "Go between them and you'll get hurt!"
Susie tried to pull away, "I can't just let them kill each other!" She hissed.
"What going on here?" Kalim's voice rang out. The other students took and step back to make room for him. Students whisper to each other as Klilm steps forward.
"Is that..?"
"That's Scarabia's Dorm leader, Kalim Al-Asim!"
The student who is fighting stops and his eye widen, "Crap a housewarden!" Haelth let go, looking at him weirdly.
"What's so important about him?" She asked, "I can beat him!" The student looks at her in shock.
"He's the leader of a dorm, you idiot!" He looks behind Grim and pales.
Grim saw him panic and puff out his chest, not noticing a shadow looming over him.
"What, scared explodey-head? I told you to never mess with Great and Powerful Gr-"
"What is going on here?" Crowley yelled out and Grim yelped, running into Oliver's arm. Everyone cowers under the Headmage's glare.
They have to listen to Crowley scold them for causing a fight. But Haelth was glad that they weren't the only ones that got in trouble. Ace too got an earful and the same punishment: to clean 100 windows. He can glare at them all he wants. He was in the wrong!
"Come on, let's go," Scott said as they walked out. As they do, Haelth couldn't help herself and stuck her tongue out at Ace. He glared at her but Haelth giggled as they walked away. "Did you bother that kid?" Oliver asked.
"Maybe~"
"Dear god you're bad." He laughs quietly.
The older students Jamil and Kalim turn to them with a pitying look.
"That sucks, you guys gotta clean those windows," Kalim said, "But I'm sure you guys can handle that." He smiled good-naturedly at them.
"Thank Kalim," Susie smiled back at him.
Kalim grinned, "No problem, and hey," He handed her a paper, "Here's my number! Text me if you need any help. And remember about the party!" He told her as Jamil dragged him off.
Haelth turns to her, "What party?" She asked her.
"Oh Kalim invited us to party," She narrowed her eyes and wiggled her finger at her, "I have half a mind to make you stay at home young lady!" Haelth bristled, "You're not that much older than me!"
Susie ignored her and continued, "Especially after you picked a fight with that student."
"He started it!"
She turns to Melody, Oliver, and Grim who whistles innocently.
"And you three are in hot water too. Why didn't you stop her?" Susie asked glaring at them. Melody and Oliver pointed at Grim.
"Because of him!"
"Myah?!"
Scott sighed as they all argued back and forth. He rolled his green eyes and then stomped his foot.
"Enough!" He shouted and the group went silent, "Let's just go back and fix the dorm the best we can. We already have a big day tomorrow and we can't be tired." He reminds them. The group looked at each and then groaned. They all start to walk Ramshackle and Susie gives Haelth a bag.
"Here you go." She said. Haelth looks confused and looks in the bag.
She gasped, "You got me a rock!" Haelth exclaimed holding the rock like it was a priceless gemstone.
Susie smiled slightly, "I'm still mad at you but Scott's right, you got punished enough." She said as they walked side by side.
"Aww! You can't get mad at me for so long~"
"Don't push it."
I don't really have anything to say. Just hope you enjoy the chapter!
