A few days pass since I met up with Grand Aunt Esme and Yuu Yachi. I currently sit in class doing an exam.
I finish the papers and turn them over. I look at Quantum who's hunched over his papers but I know that he's finished and is secretly sleeping. I hear Ren writing on the paper behind me. I put my hand up to grab the teacher's attention.
"Ito-Sensei can I have my language exams now?" I ask Epstein Ito.
"Sure." Teacher Ito goes to grab four exams from his desk. He hands it to me and I write my name on all of them. "By the way Melanie is 9 months pregnant."
"What?" I gasp quietly. "Why didn't you tell me she was due at any minute. Oh my god. Do you know what the gender is? Is Mel alright? Is she feeling any discomfort?"
"She's alright and we want the gender to be a secret so that it's more surprising." Ito answers. He chuckles when seeing me concerned. "But Mel does want you to be the Godmother since if it weren't for you we wouldn't be together or probably alive. She also wants you to be there when the child is born."
"Yass! See I always knew you two were well together."
"We are soulmates." Ito nods. "Now get back to your exams."
"Okay, Ito-Sensei." I start to answer my language exams and finish before the bell rings for lunch.
"What were you talking about with Ito-Sensei?" Ren asks while yawning. He lays down on the desk and closes his eyes.
"See I told you not to study do late. Your body can't handle it." I flick his forehead. "Anyway we were just talking about his wife."
"You two have a weird relationship." Quantum says, eating lunch.
"No. We're friends. How is it weird?" I ask him. I tilt my head in confusion.
"Aish! You don't care about your image anyway." Quantum shakes his head.
"Most of the time that's true." I agree.
"So what's happening with his wife?" Ren asks curious since Ito doesn't talk about his wife neither do I bring her up.
"She's pregnant. 9 months pregnant so she can go into labor at any time. I'm also going to be the child's godmother." I smile proudly. I've never been a godmother before since my friends haven't had a baby yet. Ito and Melanie would be the first one well if you don't count Nicholas' secretary Sofia but she doesn't believe in godparents.
"Wow!" Ren gasps. "What's it like being a godmother?"
I shrug my shoulders. "It's my first time. To the Myth's families I treat them as siblings."
Ren nods. He looks at the hall which there's a commotion going on. "They're here."
"Who?" I look to the door with curiosity on my face but seeing the crowd I frown. "Oh no."
Daniel and Quasar walks into the room and sits next to us.
"Hello. How did you go with the test?" Daniel asks completely unbothered by the countless people gawking at him.
"I think failed." Ren sulks.
"That bad?" Quasar asks.
"Yup."
"Is the exam that important?" I ask.
"Yes. The results are like life. You're the only one who doesn't care about the exams." Daniel answers.
I smile. "What can I say? I'm unique." I flick my hair.
"Don't try to make that line yours. Aria used it when she was only 6." Daniel flicks my forehead.
I pout. "Go back to your own class, party pooper."
The deities are on my side since just after I say that the bell rings.
"Damn you!" Daniel curses.
I poke my tongue out at him. Quasar and Daniel return to class. Our class all get changed into our sports clothes and go down to the field when Teacher Hayashi is waiting.
I look down at my phone which just buzzed. I look at the message before turning it off and joining in on dodgeball game against class 1-1.
****
During dodgeball I twisted my ankle and got sent to the infirmary.
"Hello my dear older brother." I smile when walking through the door.
"Did you see the message too?" Nicholas stops what he's doing and looks at me.
"Yup. Both Zane and Lorenzo are concerned."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Why do you think this has anything to do with you? Aren't you a bit too narcissist?" I tilt my head at him.
Nicholas looks at me blankly. "A twisted ankle? Seriously Adi, do you think I was born yesterday? A twisted ankle heals faster than your cuts."
I shrug my shoulders when I can't get anything past him. "Fine." I put a plane ticket on his desk. "You're going back to Spain, Nicho!" I cheer.
"I can't just take leave, Adi." Nicholas sighs.
"You can and will. It's either you or Lorenzo in the hospital so please choose wisely."
"Lorenzo is fine."
"He can have an seizure anytime."
"The brothers go missing every once in a while so Felix missing or being odd isn't something out of the ordinary!" Nicholas argues.
"He's been missing for two weeks. Of course you wouldn't know because you didn't text Jeronimo back."
"Fine but on one condition." Nicholas agrees.
"What?"
"I get a month where you can't say anything mean or sassy to me."
I think for a while. "Deal."
"Great." Nicholas exclaims. His face lights up in joy. "You skinny little toad!" He yells before grabbing the plane ticket and running out of the room.
"You dog!" I curse him. "Don't come back!"
I kick the wooden desk with the foot that I 'twisted'.
*****
I don't see Nicholas for the rest of the day and later found out by Ito that he applied for a leave and Reiji will take over until Nicholas gets back.
I walk back to the apartment with Ren who's still reading the book that I gave him. He finished Renata History book which I got for him after he read the supernatural species book.
"Hey, Chikara-chan. What's the difference between a visioner, seer and purifier?" Ren asks.
"Visioners can see visions of the future. Seer can also see visions but can see spirits as well and Purifiers can only see spirits as they're spirit guides." I explain.
"So Quantum and Quasar-kun can only see spirits?" Ren asks.
"Yes."
"How? Their Aunt was a seer?"
"Seers and Purifiers are very similar so having a seer in the family can produce either even if both parents are seers. It's kind of like a surprise."
"Okay." Ren says before going back to reading.
We arrive at our apartment and I open the door to see Asra waiting.
"Hello girl. Did you miss me?" I ask her in a baby voice when taking my shoes off. I put my house slippers on and take my school bag off. "Just wait until I change then we'll head out."
"Where are you going?" Ren looks up from the book.
"To Scar club. I want to train with Beatrix." I walk up the stairs.
"Okay. Can you get take out for dinner?" Ren yells.
"Sure." I reply and change clothes. I walk out and grab Asra's leash. "Let's go girl. Ren don't open the door to anyone when I'm gone. Even to me."
Ren doesn't reply but I read his mind (oops) and know that he heard each and every word.
