10. Play with me~!

𝑨 𝑭𝑬𝑾 𝑯𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑺 𝑳𝑨𝑻𝑬𝑹 —————————

Vivian raised her hands, relaxing them as she has been holding the pen and writing the lines for hours now. Her paper was filled with black written lines, of the same words. 𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒇𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒆...She sighed, peeking over at Gavin.

"Hey Gavin, Let me head back for a rest, I'm tired of writing now..."

"How much do you have left?"

"Roughly around 480 left..." Vivian could not be bothered to count how many lines she had already written since she knew that she didn't write much as her hand was tired from the continuous writing non-stop.

Plus Gavin did give her extra 100 lines to write, making the total 600. 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝑰'𝒎 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅...

"Continue..."

"B-but I have my last lesson of the day later..."

"No excuses." Vivian widened her eyes, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔? 𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒏, 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 30 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔...She crossed her arms and stared at Gavin. Then an idea crossed through her mind and smiled.

"Hey Gavin~" Vivian teleported in front of Gavin's table and smiled at him. He didn't bother to look up at her and continued his reading as if she wasn't there.

"Can you just play with me for a little while~? It's seriously boring in here-"

"No, go do your work and don't disturb me."

"Come on Gavin, please~" Vivian begged and tried showing her cute-looking eyes, that seemed to waver Gavin's heart a little as he looked further down into his book that ended up covering his face. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈?

"Are you okay Gavin? Your ears are red." He didn't reply and instead kept quiet all the way. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒘?

"Hey~ Don't ignore me." 𝑰𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏...𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏. Vivian was about to go back to her seat when a strong force blocked her way, making her hit the invisible force with her face.

"Wait..."

"Seriously...at least warn me when your gonna put an invisible wall out of nowhere..." Vivian rubbed her forehead and nose, out of the sudden hit. She turned around and faced Gavin, face to face. 𝑯𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒑 𝒉𝒎𝒎?

She waited for Gavin to say something to her but instead, all he is doing, was just staring at her. "So...wanna play~?" Vivian smiled, grabbing the chair from her punishment table over and placed it in front of Gavin's table.

Vivian took Gavin's silence as a yes and made magical deck of cards appear, with a small twirl of a finger. 𝑳𝒆𝒕'𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒆~ 𝑾𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝑼𝑵𝑶 𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊'𝒗𝒆 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒕.

The cards in her hands were all aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, with its cute and pastel-looking colors. The cards were all in different designs and colors that made the game seem more interesting.

"Do you know how to play this card game?" Vivian asked as she shuffled the deck of cards, peeking over at Gavin. 𝑰𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒘...? 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏...

"I'll just explain the rules and how to play the game okay?" As soon as Vivian finished her sentence, she started to explain the simple rules of the game and thought him how to play. Though she does think he knows how to play this simple-looking game.

Vivian proceeded to hand out the 10 cards to him and they started to play after a while. They played a few rounds of the game but Vivian was not quite pleased with the outcome of the game results.

"Why am I always the one losing...I only won once and you won like 4 times already~" Vivian pouted, knowing that she only won once out of the five rounds. 𝑯𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆, 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒂𝒅~

"Ah, I think I should head back now, It's near the late afternoons." 𝑾𝒂𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕...𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒐𝒐𝒏𝒔?Vivian checked her phone for the time even though she could have looked at Gavin's wall clock.

"Oh great, I missed all my lessons..." Vivian kept the cards, making them disappear in thin air and stood up from her seat. I guess I should start to head back to the dorm, I'm not gonna miss my lessons tomorrow...

"I guess I'll head back now, it's starting to get late." Vivian glanced out his big-looking window in his office as Gavin kept his silence and stared at her with his cold yellow looking eyes. 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑰'𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘...?

"Don't forget you have to come back here until you finished with your lines..." 𝒀𝒆𝒑...𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒇, 𝒎𝒚 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔. Vivian stared at him, hopelessly, knowing that she has to come back into his office just to finish her lines.

𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒆, 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑰 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉, 𝒎𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓...

"Fine...well then, I'll get going back to my dorm and I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Gavin~" Vivian gave a small smile, waving at Gavin before heading out of his office and skipped back to the dorm. 𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒇 𝑱𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌.

After she entered the dorm, she could see that Jennie was training in the living room with her eyes closed and she looked very serious, 𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆'𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈. Vivian secretly sneaked up behind Jennie and lightly chuckled.

"Boo!" Jennie flinched as she turned around, slapping Vivian to the cheek, making her give Jennie a deadly-looking smile. Once Jennie noticed Vivian was who she slapped, she gasped.

"I'm so sorry Vivi! I didn't know it was you!"

"It's only just you and me who are living in the dorm, who else could it have been-" Vivian rubbed her cheek, feeling the pain that she had just felt. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒕-

"I know...and what happened to your eyes?"

"What about my eyes?"

"I can see eyebags under them..." Vivian raised her eyebrows at Jennie, Using her magic and a mirror appeared in front of her and she took a look at her eyes. 𝑶𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒘, 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒃𝒂𝒈𝒔, 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒂 𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒚𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓?

"Maybe it's cause my eyes didn't get a blink of air in Gavin's office but it's fine, after I get some ample time of sleep, it'll be fine~"

"This is why you shouldn't mess with him in the beginning...then have you finished whatever he asked you to do?" Jennie folded her arms as she looked at Vivian, who shook her head and sighed.

"I maybe finished 120 lines and I still have 480 more lines to go! Ughh..." Jennie's eyes widened hearing the ridiculous number that Vivian had just said. 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒏𝒐𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 600 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕? 𝑰'𝒎 𝒖𝒏𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒚 𝒚𝒆𝒕 𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒚 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆...

"Then are you still going for classes tomorrow?"

"Yeah...well, I hope so, though both lessons and being there are boring..."

"I can tell..." Jennie replied, thinking for a split minute as both Jennie and Vivian stood in the living room. Vivian was staring into space when she was greeted by the puppy, happily wagging its tail at her and is trying to stand.

"Awww~ Hey little one~" Vivian picked the puppy up from the ground and snuggled it. She smiled, hugging the puppy close to her. She was glad to have found the cute puppy, thinking that she might just grow old alone. 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒍𝒅...

"Hey Jennie, how old is Gavin? He seems like a boring person but he can be fun sometimes too."

"Hmmm..." Jennie thought for a while, Vivian knows she shouldn't pry into people's age as it may seem rude but she couldn't just help but to ask. 𝑮𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒇 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒃𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒃𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒛𝒆𝒓. 𝑷𝒍𝒖𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒕.

"Well, I suppose he should be still 17 this year" Jennie spoke up, making Vivian widen her eyes with a serious face on. Jennie couldn't tell what Vivian was thinking from her expressions. 𝑯𝒐𝒘...

"I thought he was at least 90 years old since he was that boring..."

"If he heard that, your dead and how is he fun?"

"Well, we were having fun?"

"Okay...and what fun are you talking about? Did you guys do something-?" Jennie asked, smiling weirdly at her. Vivian tried processing what Jennie meant and when she finally got it, her cheeks had a tint of pink in them.

"Jennie, no. Nothing of that sort that your thinking about, happened. Your brains needs some washing and if you need someone to help with that I can help you." Vivian opened her palms and a cleaning spray appeared.

"I don't think I'll be needing it-" Vivian didn't reply and instead she sprayed Jennie with the cleaning spray.

"Ah! Vivi, that's cleaning spray!"

"It's just pure water..."

"Oh nah nah, you can't trick me with that same line of yours. Remember the time when you told me that one of the clear cleaning sprays was water and I had to go to the toilet to let out bombs." Vivian nodded her head, though she doesn't really remember much of the details that happened.

"Okay, you can continue your training, I'll be in my room if you need me~" Vivian happily sprayed Jennie two more times before teleporting into her room.

Jennie stood in the living room as she wiped her face, 𝒐𝒉 𝑽𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒂𝒏...
