Chapter 42_ Casanova

Wow, I wasn't expecting you girls anytime soon."Mackenzie said almost immediately as we stepped into the room.

Senior Eira also looked up from the bed where she was sleeping. " Arrrgh, thank God." she groaned. " The heavens heard my cries. She has been missing and worried sick over you girls. Now that you are here, I can sleep in peace." she concluded and faced the other side of the bed to continue her napping.

I shot Mia a 'you were saying?' look.

She only looked away like she doesn't know what I was talking about. Mackenzie's voice diverted my attention.

" No, don't believe her" she quickly interjected. We turned to look at her and she circled a finger around her ear in a continuous process and mouthed ' she is out of her mind' to us. I smiled and moved doser to her " No she is not." I said out loud and went to hug her from a side. I placed my neck on her shoulders and drew in breath from my nose. " MacKenzie dear, you missed us, didn't you? You were worried about us too. " I was grinning now.

"No, I don't " she almost pushed me away but caught me when I wanted to trip. I was in her arms now and slowly, she embraced me too. " Ok, maybe I was a little worried but I didn't miss you girls." she half confessed. My grin sudderly got broadened " You lie, you missed us dear. We missed you too" I tightened my hands that were around her

"Why don't you girls go get a room" senior Eira purred. I was not aware she had her face turned to us now as she watched me and Mackenzie embrace passionately. But hey, it was an harmless friendship embrace. I motioned at Mia " Come" I ushered her to join the friendship embrace but she rolled her eyes."You wish!" she barked and slumped on the third bed. Mackenzie calmly and slowly removed my hands from around her. " By the way, why did you girls come back so early" she asked. It was as if she knew we encountered a little bit of problem. Or was it a little bit? I don't think so because it unsettled my stomach and made it hurt.

" Isn't it obvious they got into a mess?" serior Eira again predicted the right thing. 

"We didn't " Mia lied feigning indifference. I widened my eyes." of course, we did !" | stared at her unbelievably and began to explain to the others. I just needed to talk about it. I was disappointed in the annoying jerk. How can he do such a thing? At the same time, I was disgusted. Or maybe the librarian seduced him or used a leverage to blackmail him or something? Of course not! Wait, why was I thinking the annoying jerk was the good guy? For all I know, he could be the the bad guy here. What if he was the one who forced the librarian to be with him or had seduced the poor lady? OK, there was nothing poor about the librarian. She was equally as bitchy as the annoying jerk. They were both dating and doing stuffs that was just the reasonable explanation. Why was it so hard for me to digest? Perhaps because those two were my two most disliked persons?

Yes...that was it.

"At first, we thought the library was empty" I began. " But then we went in grateful we could spend the rest of our day there in peace and privacy." Mackenzie cut me off with her query so, l paused. 

"Oh, so you were not at peace here with us." she frowned. I raised my shoulders, and kept them raised for a minute before going on. " Of course, it was suffocating here with you guys and all the seniorities." I glanced over at serior Eira. "And also the arguments. Not to mention the room was originally designed for three people and we're four" I was demonstrating all the way as I spoke. " The air itself is choky in here,"again, I demonstrated this time waving my fingertips across my neck in a slicing motion.

"Whatever, tell us what happened already please stop ranting. You are hurting my ears" Mackenzie hollered playfully. I don't know why delaying telling them the information was amusing me.

"Uhmm" I began " Guess what we found out?" My face grew bitter as I started going into details. " The witch and annoying jerk were into some business together."

"Medusa!" Mia scolded. 

Mackenzie was lost "Who and who?" She asked. Oh, I forgot I only call them that in my head. " The librarian, senior Cassidy, and senior Katz were all intimate and all over themselves " I explained more specifically.

"And....?" Mackenzie asked again, she didn't pick up on the unbelievable thing I mentioned.

" Can't you see how absurd that is?" I held ny waist with both my hands. Unable to believe Mackenzie was not even surprised a bit.

"Hmm, hmm" she nodded. " They are both seniors and adults capable of making decisions for themselves. Even first year students can date" she finished with a shrug.

" Wow!" I shot a perplexed look at her. So I was the only one seeing that as an absurdity. But why was I the only one vexed and why was I getting vexed? Maybe because my two enemies were happy together? As the thoughts ran to me in quick succession, Mia's voice broke my thoughts

"Wait" she called and we all turn to her. " Ok, I know we've been teasing you about having a crush on the senior but.." she paused and look me in the eye, satisfied that she has gotten my full attention.." You don't actually like him..do you?" she blurted out.

"What...of course...why...Mia!" I protested, unable to form a correct sentence. What the hell was she saying? Why would I like the annoying jerk of all people? He is definitely not my type, I mean for one he is too gloomy. And then he has dimples that make him look like a baby. I like my men manly, I don't want a cute and adorable man. I want a manly and good looking man. One that does not have ugly creatures as pets, one that does not act as if the whole world revolves around him.

And that man is certainly not annoying jerk, he is far from all those qualities. 

'As if you've ever been with any man before. I doubt you have a spec. And if you do have a spec, annoying jerk is that spec.' the second annoying jerk in my head whispered to me.

" Go to hell!" I yelled vigorously.

All eyes in the room turned to me. " I only asked a harmless question, your ugly reply now shows you indeed have a crush on him" Mia squeezed her lips and said matter of factly. Who was referring to her fat mouth? " 'Oh shut up, I wasnt referring to you'" I shook my head with a deep frown.

Mia was about to open her mouth to talk but senior Eira cut her off "Medusa, yeah?" she spoke to me directly with seriousness in her tone. I was quite surprised " Yeah. Medusa" I stammered.

"Ok, I understand the whole hormones stuff. You are a teenager and he's a good looking guy with the perfect body not to mention he's bright and has the fame in the school. I get if you are growing a likeness to him" she stopped talking and settled her gaze on my face to see the impact of her words.And oh yeah, it did hit me and got me utterly confused. What the hell was the senior saying? Was she crazy like MacKenzie claimed earlier?

Oh shut up Medusa, Mackenzie was just kidding.

"Katz is a junior to me but he's well known amongst the seniors. He is popular in the whole school for being a top student with a unique ability. However, from rumors that flew to my ears, he is a Casanova. Not just a Casanova, he is also involved which demons, and all that is too much for a newbie like yourself. Fall in love with a pure loving guy or better, don't fall in love at " she concluded.

The weight of her words settled on my heart like a huge rock. | was not falling in love with the annoying jerk but.. What?

I knew he was an abomination. He was a demon controller, and he likes women? Damn ! He is totally not my style.

The room was silent for a long while, even I do not have an idea of what to say.

"Thanks for looking out but I do not have a crush on the annoying jerk senior Eira. Be rest assured" I said with confidence. 

"Not that I care anyway, I was just saying. So, no need to tell me to be rest assured" senior Eira pointed out snubbingly and returned to continue to face the wall like she did before. Mackenzie patted my head and I lay on the bed slapping her hand off my head.

" One more thing..." senior Eira called. " Stop giving everyone weird names, it might land you in trouble someday" she warned. 

Ok this senior is too serious for my liking.. Pfft!

After a while, I guess everyone was drifting to sleep or maybe they were lost in their own thoughts..

'Wyllow' second annoying jerk called in my head.

Who or what is Wyllow?
