"This part says 'to each his own" Mr. Morales explained.
Me and Nathan have been in his classroom for about an hour and a half and haven't gotten any information about what I am.
But so far it's basically telling a story and it doesn't sound like reality.
Nathan has been writing down the translations just in case some of them are useful.
"Are you sure that you guys want me to read the whole thing be—" Mr. Morales started but me and Nathan cut him off.
"Yes."
We said at the same time causing Mr. Morales to chuckle.
"Fine just give me a moment."
He silently read through the article as I rested my head, softly I might add, on the desk.
"The lady of darkness?" He read silently and my head snapped up.
"What about the lady of darkness?" I basically squeaked.
"Well, this paragraph states 'When I was walking to find a purpose and to find anyone who could help me a lady appears in front of me. I couldn't see her at all, I could only hear her venomous voice. She told me she could help me become very powerful but at a price. She could only help me if she was able to possess my body for a short period of time. I was skeptical and asked her, her name and she said the lady of darkness.'"
I looked at him in shock.
"Did they mention anything else about the lady of darkness?"
"Uhh, I don't know I would have to read the whole thing." He looked at the clock "and school is almost over. How about I take it home read it for you guys and highlight the things you need and I will translate it for you tomorrow morning?"
We thought about it for a second.
"Yeah, that's cool" Nathan replied.
"Ok, what are you guys looking for exactly?"
"If the person who is writing had any powers of any sort, how they controlled it, and more about the lady of darkness." I had said in a monotone voice.
Just as he nodded the school bell ranged.
"Bye Mr. Morales," Me and Nathan said in unison.
He waved us off as we grabbed our stuff and walked out the door.
"Do you think the lady of darkness is the person you saw?" Nathan questioned as we walked through the hallways.
"Absolutely. It makes no sense for it NOT to be her. I want to know her real agenda." I stated.
"Wait, first we need to learn more about her. You can't do this alone so don't even try."
I sighed "I'm really sorry Nathan."
"It's okay. I'm just not going to let you do this alone" he laughed.
"No not about that about the things I said in the hospital."
His jaw flexed and he kept his eyes forward.
"I didn't mean anything I said, I was just mad because... you were right. I am a coward. And I know I don't deserve your help but thank you for still doing it. I will never say anything like that again."
He didn't say anything instead he just wrapped one arm around me.
I internally gasped when he did that.
Something in me has electrified when he wrapped his arm around me and I instantly relaxed.
"It's alright Dre. I shouldn't have said those things about you either. Forgive me?" He asked giving me a lip quiver.
I laughed "sure," I said noddingly.
"Alright let's get to practice."
I groaned
Why did I go to tryouts?
Next time I will just wait until school starts.
