Ari is out to work leaving me and Elora. To avoid Elora's madness, I decided to stay in my room. Thank goodness, Ari brought in my food before she left.
"I hope you can avoid, Elora until I get back," she said before she left and I assured her I would try my best to do so.
Staying indoors is a bit boring, but it is better than meeting with Elora. Surprisingly, she did not show up at my doorstep either. Melvin did not show up too and I wonder why. I tried to see if I could call him out but none of what I did worked out. I soon give up and decide to take a nap. Just when I was dozing off, I heard a knock and groaned slightly, knowing it was Elora. Though I am surprised she isn't knocking aggressively. I stood up and went to open the door.
"Can we talk?" she asks and I furrow my brows.
"Y-you want us to talk?"
She nods. "If you don't mind"
I stare at her in surprise. Did she really, come to me and ask us to talk?
I nod. "I do not mind. Do you want to come in?"
She shakes her head slightly. "No"
I shrug. "OK?"
"Does your offer still stand?" she asks.
I furrow my brows. "What offer?"
"That I help you with your study and you let me do whatever I want". I blink rapidly. "If the offer is still on, I would like to take it"
I stare at her. "You mean you want to agree with the suggestion I made?"
She nods. "Isn't that what you want?"
I shrug. "Yes, but you said you weren't interested. Why did you change your mind?"
She shrugs. "Does that matter to you?"
"Are you ok? I mean it's so unlike you to be this calm, let alone accept other people's suggestions, especially me"
"Are you interested or do you want me to change my mind?"
"I am in. But can you at least tell me why you changed your mind? I am so curious right now"
She scoffs. "I will take that as a yes from you. Class starts by nine tomorrow" she says and turns to leave.
"You won't tell me why?". She ignores me and keeps walking away. "Elora? Tell me why you change your mind. I am dying of curiosity here"
"Like I care what you die of!" she yells and I find myself smiling.
This sounds like the sassy girl, I know. I keep staring at her until she is out of sight before going back into my room.
"You look surprised," Melvin said and I stopped moving.
"Melvin?" I cooed.
"Why do you look surprised to see me"
"I thought you were not going to show up today"
"But I did"
"And that got me by surprise"
"Did she really, say yes?" he asks and I nod. "And she did not say why?". I nod. "Are you ok with that?"
I shrug. "I can sense a foul play though"
He smiles. "You should be ready for hell in paradise!"
I nod. "I know and I am ready for whatever thing she has planned"
"Are you sure you are? That girl looks like someone ready to make your stay here hell" Melvin replies and I roll my eyes slightly.
"And I will be doing the same to her"
He busts into laughter. "You think you are any match for her?"
I scoff. "And you think I am no match for her?"
"I do not think you are not but I know that"
I sigh. "I should not be having this conversation with you"
"Who are you supposed to have it with? I am your best friend and the only one you know and trust here"
"I know Ari and I trust her too"
He whines slightly. "Someone got into the human realm and totally, forgot about me"
I groan. "I did not forget about you. Did I?"
"It seems you do"
I scoff. "You know I do not. You are only jealous"
He scoffs. "I am not. Why should I be". I sigh, yawning slightly. "Someone seems sleepy here"
I nod. "I was dozing off before she came"
"You should get some rest. I will be here watching over you". I furrow my brows and he moves closer to me. "In case she decides to rip off your head" he whispers.
"She won't do that"
"I bet she will"
"Whatever. I do not care if you think she will" I mutter.
"Why do I feel like you care?"
"I do not know what you are talking about" I answered him, lying on the bed.
"Are you sure you do not?"
I scoff. "I do not"
"I think you". I ignore him, closing my eyes. "I think you deserve it though," he says and I open my eyes.
"Deserve what?"
"Deserve your head being ripped off"
I sighed but said nothing. Giving him the last look, I closed my eyes and drifted gradually into the dreamland.
Melvin taps me slightly. "But are you sure you are ready to..."
I glare at him. "Why did you wake me up"
"Can't I be sure if Elora meant well"
I groan. "I thought we already talked past that"
"We might have done that but why would you leave me hanging and go to sleep?"
"You can return to the gem"
"What are you saying?"
"Go..."
"I heard you. Why would you tell me to do that?"
"Because I want to sleep"
"We both know you do not want to sleep. You are trying to avoid me"
I yawn slightly. "I am not avoiding you. I am..."
"You are"
"Melvin, can you stop being paranoid? You know well that I am not avoiding you"
He scoffs. "You know what. I am leaving"
"Please do"
"Are you driving me away?"
"I am not. You just said you were leaving"
"Because you said I should". I decided to ignore him and close my eyes instead. "Orion? Orion?! I am talking to you!"
