Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Life with a sword maid.

The hell... what's that smell, I thought. Please don't let this be Alex. I opened my eyes, only to have them placed on Alex's messy hair which was everywhere. She had her hand wrapped around me like a spider web. Her hair did smell nice, but it is not an excuse to sleep in my bed. With uttermost care, I slowly lifted her hand and replaced it with a pillow. Then as I try to sneak out, the door opens right in my face. Bang! I'm sure my nose would have broken if it were to be a stronger impact.

But it did knock me down, causing Alex to suddenly wake up. Perfect, I thought to myself. "What's going on..." Alex murmured, dazed, and still half asleep. "Nothing at all just got a little hurt," I replied. Then from the open door came Faith, with fear in her eyes. She was wearing a black and white... maid costume? "Oh no! Are you ok? Is it painful? I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-" "Faith... calm down, I'm not hurt. Just glad it's you and not some burglar or something," I interrupted. "Oh! Still, I'm so sorry master," Faith said and looked over to Alex sleeping in my bed. "Uh... I should have knocked first..." Faith said, her face totally red like a tomato. "No no, it's not at all what it looks like," I tried to explain but until then, Alex already caught the scent and said, "It is EXACTLY what it looks like, so don't you dare get too close to him!" Wow, way to go, Alex, I thought to myself. If this is how it's gonna be, might as well get used to it.

"So, you enrolled her in?" I asked. "Yeah, but I think there's a little problem we might face," Alex replied. "What?" "While I was posing as the principal and doing the deed... Rebecca found me," Alex said. "Holy- did she find out?" I panicked. "No... at least I don't think she did, I'm sure she got suspicious. But then again, I'm not really sure," Alex stated. "Ah nevermind, I'm sure she'll forget all about it," I said, reassuringly, but I really didn't know if I was reassuring her or myself, but at that moment, I didn't really care.

We walked through the corridor, towards the main hall, feeling all sloppy, probably due to the commotion in the morning. And I'm sure most of you have already guessed it; there was food! And more food! And all that aroma just slammed right into my face, forcing its way into my nose, and up the nasal canal, making me drool for the sight I was about to see. Egg rolls, Saffron rice, a Caviar, and a... Japanese Fugu? "Aren't those supposed to be made out of pufferfishes?" I asked. "They are," Faith replied. Looks like she hasn't changed out of the maid costume. "So are trying to poison me?" I asked. "I wouldn't even dream of it, master! In fact, this took me a long time to make because I wanted to make sure the toxic parts are gone," Faith cried out. Another way to die, great!

"Well then, uh... bon appétit?" That said, we dug in. And I must say, Faith is totally maid material, but then again, all girls are, but especially her, cause the second the Caviar went into my mouth, it melted my taste buds (in a good way obviously) and compelled me to take another mouthful of that stuff. On my right, Lavender was enjoying her food just as much as I was, just not as elegantly. There was food all over her chin and cheeks, but she didn't seem to mind that. On my left, however, I saw Alex dining slowly as if she didn't have a care in the world, but by the look of her face, she's trying so very hard not to show glee on her face. Girls are so difficult to understand.
