I wake the next morning having no recollection of what happened after I fell asleep.
"Morning Ads" Killian voice surprises me. I look down and see him sitting on his bed with Thunder in his lap and looking at a sketch book.
"What happened?" I ask looking at his face which looks like something terrible has happened. I climb down the loft and sit at the edge of his bed. I see him looking wierdly at the sketch book. I take it and flip through until I found the newly drawn pages. I gasp at what's on the pages.
"I know that's a terrible situation" Killian shakes his head with visible fear in his voice.
"There's blood on me" I whine.
"In a situation like that and you're only worried about getting dirty" Killian looks at me in astonishment. "I thought you couldn't get worse when we had to swim our way through Paris sewers but this is.... Wow!" Killian can't find any words to describe what he's feeling.
"But still Paris is a city where you can find clothes and a spa while there looks like the middle of nowhere" I reason.
"Wow!" Killian gasps.
"What did you expect from a neat freak? Let myself to be covered in warm blood which will eventually turns hard and start to flake"
"Just get ready for school" Killian sighs having enough of me.
I arrive at school on time skipping having a meal at a take out restuaruant. I look around the school to find that it's more lively.
'Weird' I think to myself. I walk up to Ren to see that he's carrying an extra bag. "What's in there?" I ask.
"Baseball uniform" He replies.
"Oh" I swap shoes and head to Daniel's class. "Yo Danny" I pull out a chair in front of his desk (which is in the middle row).
"What can I do for you lovely Adira?" Daniel asks looking up from his book.
"Why is the school more lively than usual?" I get straight to the point.
"A sport festival will be held in a few days and a month after that another sports festival will take place against another international school" Daniel explains.
"I forgot to ask how many students are in each year and all together?"
"There is 240 students in our year but that can vary. Um... all together would be around 1440 students" Daniel says writing the equation on his hand.
"That's a ton of students" I sigh.
"Oh right. I was picked to represent my class in swimming and running. Can you join?" Daniel looks at me with puppy dog eyes.
"You're 16 years old and you still dare do puppy dog eyes at me" I slightly push his head away.
"Oh c'mon. With you and I versing each other it would be just like old times. It'll even make the challenges more fun" Daniel nudges my arm.
"Fine but I will only do swimming and running. Got that?" I agree to his request.
"Got it" Daniel holds out his pinky and we shake. "Ah, you're still the best Adira" He pulls me into a hug.
"I know" I flip my hair and pull away.
"Aish! Every time" Daniel grumps.
"Class is about to start so I'll go. Bye" I walk to my classroom to find Teacher Ito standing at the front. "Sorry I'm late" I bow my head and sit in my desk. I look at the time to see that I'm not late. I look up to see Ito has a smug grin on his face.
"Okay now in a few days the sports festival will be held. I know that some schools usually pick their representatives when term starts but what's the point. You either run or you don't" Ito speaks. He takes a sheet of paper from his desk and hangs it onto the blackboard "Here's the sign up sheet of every event that will be held. By the end of the day I expect you to at least be in 1 event."
When teacher Ito sits at his desk nearly everyone rushes froward with a pen. I sigh at their childish behaviour.
"Teacher Ito why isn't swimming or 800 meter race on here?" Aito asks looking at the sheet.
"I've already decided who to send" Teacher Ito grabs another sheet of paper which will be used to fianlize the results. From where I'm sitting I can see 2 spots already filled in. My eyes widen at one of the names. "Aito-san will do swimming and the 800 meter race along with Chikara-san.
"b*stard" I curse quietly at Ito.
"Oh and since some students can tumble the teachers have made them perform some flips after the cheering" Ito says.
"Who's the students?" Ren asks curious. I feel his gaze on the back of my head.
"Daniel Carter from 1-2. Quantum and Quasar Tanaru from class 1-3. There is a few more but I forgot" Ito has a bright smile flaunting his white teeth without any out of place. He scratches the back of his neck which some girls blush.
"Urgh!" I make vomiting motions at the scene. I walk up to the blackboard pretending that I'm looking at the events. When I see everyone is too absorbed in talking I kick Ito in the leg. "Epstein dare smile like that again and I'll rip your tongue out and sew your lips shut" I threaten him.
"Okay, okay" he whimpers in pain.
"Oh by the way how's Mel?" I ask my attitude turning a full 360 degrees.
"She's good. She works as a nurse" Ito manages to say through the pain.
"Good to hear" I give him a cold stare before sitting back in my desk.
"Why did you kick Teacher Ito?" Ren asks quietly so that only we hear.
"He shouldn't be smiling like a playboy" I pout.
"Are you jealous?" Ren asks.
"What?!?" I exclaim whipping my head around to face him. I notice people looking at me. "Sorry" I apologize before coldly staring at Ren. "How much do you know about Epstein Ito?" I ask.
"His name is Epstein?" Ren asks surprised.
"Not much by your reaction. Well anyway Ito has a wife and so he shouldn't be smiling like that"
"But he only smiled"
"A smile could lead to conversation. Conversation can lead to drinks. Drinks can lead to you-know. You-know could lead to pregnancy. And that is cheating and I don't like cheaters" I say coldly.
Ren doesn't say anything because everything I just said could happen.
"Do you know how that Hong gang in China was exterminated?" I ask .
"No. How?"
"The leader cheated on his wife. The whole gang perished because of cheating. Do you want to know how I know?"
"How do you know?" Ren asks curious.
"My brothers and I were the ones who exterminated the Hong gang" I say proudly.
"Really?"
"Yup we were celebrating my older brother sweet 16"
"16! You're the same age?" Ren gasps.
"Did I forgot to tell you? I'm pretty sure I told you" I scratch the back of my neck trying to remember.
"No you didn't"
"Oh well the reason why my mother had 15 children is because we were born in pairs. So it went my older sister who was lucky to be alone. Then my 1st and 2nd brother were born 1 year later. Then my 3rd, 4th and 5th. Then 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th. And last but not least 10th brother, 11th brother, me 12th brother and 13th brother." I explain.
"So it went single, twins, triplets, quadtruplets and then quinntuplets?" Ren asks.
"Yes" I confirm.
"Wow so she only got pregnant 5 times" Ren is amazed.
"Yup"
