Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The WHAT now?

With all the plates clean and no leftovers, we got ready to board the bus, which was steadily honking for us to hurry up. STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! Rebecca came marching towards us, getting louder with every step. "Well, well, well, what do we have here! If it isn't Mister Very Honest," Rebecca exclaimed. "You've got to be kidding me," I muttered under my breath.

"Ignore her. Giving her a response would only make you play into her hands," Dan whispered. "Don't you think I know that," I whispered back. "What are you whispering to each other," Rebecca asked. "Nothing much, anyway, how can I help you," I said politely. "I couldn't help but notice you were absent for, what was it, 2 or 3 hours? You bunked half of your class," Rebecca stated. I was stunned. Crap, totally forgot about that. "And you took Alex along with you if I'm not wrong," Rebecca said. "Actually, I took him," Alex defended. "Tomahto-Tomayto, the point is, you guys were bunking classes. The question arises, what in the world were you doing all that while," Rebecca inquired, with a slight hint of impishness. I began defending myself, "We- No! It's not what you thin-" "What we do is none of your business, and don't act all Miss Perfect yourself. I know what you've been doing during Recess, and it's not something your father would want to hear," Alex butted in, passive-aggressively. Rebecca took a step back, with a loathsome look on her face, as if your mother asked to clean up your room. "F-fine! But you better remember I have both my eyes on you peeps," Rebecca replied, as she gestured pointing two V-sign fingers first at her own eyes, then at the both of us to signify "I'm watching you!" It was an eerie feeling because now I cannot peacefully take a dump without making sure Rebbeca isn't spying on me with a sniper scope or something. Rich bastards.

My steps were amplified 10x times as I walked towards my next class. A decorated little board with 'BIOLOGY' written in bold letters specified where I was. Biology classes, if you didn't realize by now, isn't my favorite among the sciences. Most probably it was because the dude that teaches the subject never fails to mention the fact of how women are 'so very important' to our ecosystem, but everyone would agree when I say that he's just a pervert. Oh wait, I forgot to mention his name. It's Dick Bernhard; unnaturally suits him, doesn't it?

As we all began to take our seats, swift and irregular footsteps could be heard, and we knew whose footsteps they were. A unanimous 'Good morning sir' rose from the whole of the student body. "Hello, class! It's the Biology lecture again. It's good to see you again. Let's begin," Dick said as he turned towards the board, showing off his newly wowen unicorn on his jeans back pocket, inevitably also attracting attention towards his butt.

"Hey... psst Alex! Psst... psst... hey!" I whispered. "Wassup?" Alex whispered back. "Is there a way to give Mr. Dick explosive diarrhea or something? I really can't stand that unicorn," I murmured. "I can't do 'shit' like that, not my style," Alex whispered in return. "But poo puns are?" I asked. She nodded, as in to say yes.

After a disturbing Biology class, and a smooth English class later, we had our recess. Seriously, if you had your first period in Biology with Mr. Dick, you will feel good about the other classes automatically, it's like a human reflex, but a much-adapted version of it. I joined the already seated trio consisting of Lavender, Dan, and Alex. "So... what's new?" I inquired as I tried to crack a conversation. But the awkward silence prevailed the battle. So as we ate our lunch in silence, Alex got a call. Well, something's better than nothing. "Excuse me, I need to take this call," Alex said and left. And this was something that did start up a conversation. "I wonder who called... I haven't seen her act so diplomatic as to say 'excuse me' to anyone yet," Dan inquired. "It does have me intrigued, is she cheating on Jay?" Lavender said teasingly. "We're not in a relationship for crying out loud!" I exclaimed. "Oh wait, she's coming back, let's just ask her," Dan said. "No don't you dar-" "What were you talking about?" Alex butted in (If Alex is allowed to make poo puns, then I'm allowed to say butted in. GENDER EQUALITY BISH).

"Oh, we were discussing if you were cheating on Jay or not," Lavender said, with a naughty wink. "I wouldn't even dream of it," Alex replied. "NO! We have nothing between us, ok?" I shrieked. "Yeah yeah, anyways, the call was important. It was from the Generals," Alex mentioned. "The Generals? Who are they?" I asked. "Oh! you might know them as the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. You know, Pride, Lus-" "Yeah we know! By now, I'm not even surprised the SDS are real..." I remarked. "Anyways, they mentioned something," Alex continued.

"The WHAT now?" I cried out. "Sigh, this is the fifth time I'm repeating this..." Alex said exhaustedly. "I'm sorry, but just one more time, the WHAT?" I asked again. "The Profiteía tou thanátou," Alex repeated. "The Prophecy of Death?" Dan said as he read something off his phone. "Google translate?" I inquired. "Yeah, it's plenty handy," Dan replied. Well, that sounds fun, doesn't it?
