Chereads / The nuclear test (Rough draft) / Chapter 73 - Notebook

Chapter 73 - Notebook

I get back and look at my hand, I let out a sigh of relief. Looks like I didn't gain any marks for something that stupid. However, these two guys are still in the room. Are they waiting for me inside or something?

I open the door and see them sitting on my bed.

"Do you guys still need something?" (Luis)

"Yes, we do. Why do you know about us?!" (Oscar)

I sigh... If I don't say anything it'll be troublesome.

"You guys were having sex the first day I got here. That's all."

"..."

The room is silent.

"Can you get off my bed now, I'd want to sleep the little amount of time we have left."

"It's 6:15, school will be starting soon so why bother going to sleep again?" (???)

"You've got a point, now get off my bed."

"No, before that... Even if we were having sex, there's no way it would be audible to anyone, the walls here are thick." (???)

That's...true actually. The walls in the dorms are thicker than most, it probably to account for the people who do it at night, I don't understand why this section also has thick walls though... So, is there any other way to answer without them being aware of my capabilities?... Highly unlikely.

"Stop trying to think up of an excuse and just answer." (???)

I sigh.

"I could sense you from the other side of the door."

"..."

Another pause, well, I guess anyone would feel embarrassed if they knew they could be sensed. He turns to Andrew

"Andrew... can you-" (???)

"NO! I can't! I promise."

He turns to me

"So why can you then? Is that one of your special traits?"

"I have no obligation to answer that question but I'll tell you that I can reduce my search radius so you don't have to worry about me sensing anything. Anyways, you've been here for long enough, we have to get moving to get ready for school."

He stares at me not saying anything...

"... Let's go, Oscar." He says as he starts walking away.

"Is that all we're going to say, what about-" (Oscar)

"Drop it, it's not worth it. Let's get a move on," they're already at the door, he turns to me, "and let me make this clear if you tell anybody about us you'll pay." He walks away.

He really sounded pissed, I sigh, this is really going to be annoying until I find my way out of here. Andrew doesn't say anything and neither do I, we each just do our own thing in order to head out.

Alright, that was an eventful morning. I'll just calm down as the day goes. I start heading out.

"Luis!" Andrew calls out.

"What is it?"

"You're not going to say anything about them are you?"

"As I've said before, I couldn't care less about them."

"Ok!"

I head out to class early. I need a little more time to settle down. Even with the distraction of those guys I can still vividly recall that dream and those memories... No good, calm your breathing. I head into the school building, I can't see anyone here, I'm early so I guess it's to be expected. I'll just get to my desk and settle myself down.

I'll try not to think too much about that dream, I'll just focus on getting stronger so I can carry through later. I walk towards the classroom and place my hand on the handle, in the next moment someone quickly janks the door open and runs straight into me. Who the hell...

The one who ran into me was Vanessa. She's right on top of me...this going to be really problematic.

"I'm sorry I didn't..." She looks up and notices it's me, "Why don't you watch where you are going? Apologize right now."

"In this position? Are you perhaps a sadist?."

She blushes and quickly gets off of me.

"Shut up! I got something important to do right now! So you're not worth my time!" She runs off.

So she jumped me, blamed me and then ruan way. Well, that's fine. What I find weird was the fact that I couldn't sense her running directly at me. Is that dream still taking effect on... I notice a small notebook on the floor. I don't remember this book being here before so does that mean this belongs to that girl.

The notebook was relatively small and has the word "Vallen" written on it. Is that suppose to be someone from our class? But that girl dropped it; I take the book and feel a bit of magical energy spewing off of it. I look for any of the alchemy circles... it doesn't look to be a magical item at least.

So based on that, I guess she has this on her all the time. I stand back up and go into the classroom, it doesn't look like anybody is here. I am a bit curious as to what this book says, should I open it?...

...Fuck it, why not. I don't think its something she doesn't show if she always has it on her.I open the book and start reading from the first entry.

'August 25, today Allen and I are on a date!! Well, it's not really a date since Aisha is here with me too but I finally get to be with Allen on our off days! I wish summer didn't come any time soon, I really enjoy days like this. Allen is such a gentleman, I wish he'd take me! I hope that someday he agrees for me to live with him in a separate room. It would be pure bliss!!

...This is probably a diary, isn't it? Maybe I should stop reading this?... Somehow, I can't imagine the Allen she's talking about, the Allen I know is an opportunist. Where should I put this though? I might end up breaking rule number 1 if I don't give it back to her but If I do it will also get troublesome. What to do...

I'll just give it back and say I didn't read it. I go to put the book in my jacket pocket but miss it. I pick up the book and it's opened to the latest entry.

'Today I invited Allen to the Great Dueling Arena, I'm a bit nervous so I woke up early and decided to go to the classroom. I'm going to confess to him, I really can't hold-'

I close the book, based on those two entries I can assume this is probably some diary about Allen? I sigh...some people need their own privacy I guess. I should return this before it's too late. Who the hell carries a stalker diary around, that's a pretty stupid move if you ask me.

Well, she'll probably realize that she lost her diary sooner or later. I'll go give this back, I don't want to deal with someone who's obsessed to this extent. I put it on my jacket pocket and start walking out the door.

Vanessa enters my sensing radius and runs towards the classroom at full speed. Did she get rejected or did she realize that she dropped this book? Or both? I don't know, but neither one is good.

I could escape but there's a good chance I might not find a better time to give this back and if that happens I'll receive a mark for stealing. I sigh, I"ll just wait here. I lean against the wall. Vanessa gets to the hallway and slowly starts approaching me.

She looks like she's out of breath and disheveled, I can definitely see her panic and her eyes seem like they are about to cry. So, she got rejected? This is going to be a pain if that's the case...

"...I got a question for you."

"What is it?"

"...Well...you see... I dropped this book earlier, do you have it?"

She's acting pretty meek right now, that's a surprising change in attitude considering what happened 5 minutes ago. I take the book out of my jacket pocket and throw it at her.

"Based on the contents of this book, you probably shouldn't carry it around."

Shit, that slipped out of my mouth.

"You saw what was inside!? Why don't you learn to respect someone's privacy!"

Learn when and where to have things like that, to begin with.

"Okay," I say as I walk towards the classroom again.

"...Wait!"

What does this girl want now? Wasn't she threatening to kill me yesterday?
