Chapter 10: Night Out!

In a slight delay. Meghan's eyes darken into a malicious scowl. Her eyes suddenly turning sharp and as fierce as a lion trying to grab its prey... her body posture turned into more of an aggressive manner... she looks... really annoyed and irritated... a sudden and drastic change from her usual bubbly self that I witnessed... what.. what's wrong with her...

She then giggles for a while. "What kind of rock have the two of you been living under in? Both of you don't even know me? Like brother, like sister." She burst out laughing

Putting me in a little bit at ease... is this pretty common for her to give people death glares...

"Well... I mean.. are we really obligated to remember your name. You're not really something that I would call someone memorable." Lawrence SAYS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT TOWARDS HER.

My eyes widen... "I don't think you should just be saying that to anyone like in front of their face Lawrence..."

"Hey... that's not a very nice thing to say" Meghan giggles in a childish manner. "You know how words are sharper than blades. You can get in quite a lot of trouble if you keep speaking your mind like that. Not everyone is gonna be happy with what you're going to say." Meghan says an ominous forewarning giving me a chill down my spine.

"Thank you... I'll keep that in mind then." Lawrence answers her in the most monotone voice you could imagine. As I look straight at the window of the hallway... it's already night time like somewhere midnight by the looks of it...

"Lawrence... shall we have our dinner now? By the looks of it... it's almost close to our airport flight. Also if you didn't know Meghan here is also going to transfer in Tomoki High. So she'll be our future classmate."

"Hmm.. well.." Lawrence looks on his wristwatch and then looking at us to answer. "The flight is in a few hours by the way. Since you are going to Tomoki High. Are you also going into the airport today?" Lawrence asks Meghan.

"Oh no. I'm going there tomorrow. My family doesn't want me travelling late at night... you see there a lot of bad people out there you know." She smiled and said it cheerfully.

"Awfully cheerful for mentioning criminals..." Lawrence squinted at her poking daggers in her smile and cheerful appearance.

Was Lawrence always this rude to people... by the looks of it... he is really getting on Meghan's bad side... "Lawrence... I think you should be a bit more respectful to our new friend Meghan."

"Anyways! I heard the two of you are going to have dinner right? Mind if I join you. I didn't have dinner myself actually and what better way to spend time with my new schoolmates or classmates rather!" Meghan offered to have dinner with us.

I was static that she offered it. I mean this is a new friend that I'll have! Ever since back then at the castle the only friend I had my age was Lawrence! It's good that I have someone else my age to interact with.

"Sure although..." I turned to look at Lawrence crossing his arms... He doesn't seem to be approving of Meghan joining us for dinner... so I asked him.. "Brother... is it okay for Meghan to join us for dinner? I mean it would be good to get to know our future classmate or schoolmate."

" BROTHER?!" Lawrence yells out and then corrects himself. "OH of course sister... I don't see anything wrong with that. This is a good time for us to know each other."

"Great! This is going to be totes fun! Why don't we all get a groufie? You know for the memories and stuff!" She brought out her phone which was covered with glitters and accessories of some sort... it looked like a beautiful arrangement of flowers.. she then went on and clicked a square on the phone that seems to look like a camera or some sort...

Although I am particularly curious about what a groufie.

She lifts up her phone in the air so that it's all above us and she gives a big bright smile. She then looks behind us who seem to be standing around wondering what she is doing. "Uh guys... are you going to pose and do some peace signs on the camera or what?"

"Uh... mind if I ask what on earth is a groufie... it's the first I've heard of something like it." I said to her...

I really have no idea what a "groufie" like is that some kind of slang they use in commoner culture... none of the maids or servants in my castle ever used that term.

"You guys are so totes old fashioned! You are more socially unaware than most old people!" Meghan chuckled. "A groufie is taking a picture of yourself along with 3 or more people. Well since in our case we are 3 so I called it a groufie! If it's only 1 or 2 then it's more of a selfie!" Meghan tries to explain to us.

"And what is exactly the purpose of a groufie or a selfie exactly? Lawrence asks her in a serious tone.. almost as if he was scolding or being cold to her... "Wouldn't using your phone's energy just to take a picture release greenhouses gases and just increase the carbon emissions in your carbon footprint?"

Uh... what's that... What are they both even talking about? I did hear something about a carbon footprint from my tutors and that if I were to be a ruler of the kingdom. I would personally see to it that the country's average carbon footprint is lower as possible.

"I don't know anything about that but.. taking a selfie or a groufie is just to store some memories! You know so that we can be remembered and I can post it to social media. You know all that fun stuff lol." She snickered a little.

"Alright then! Let's go an-" Lawrence then pulls me on the side whispering something in my ear. "Don't..." He says forbidding me from taking the groufie.

"Why though? I mean she offered... and I think it's very generous and kind of her to offer it." I said to Lawrence confused as to why he is denying the invitation.

"Lawrence," Meghan spoke up in a serious tone a polar opposite to her usual cheery self. "Do you have a problem with me or something?"
