"So, what did I miss in the classes?" sighing at the awkward silence, Jeremy turned to Lisa and asked.
"Hah! Didn't think you were the nerdy type." Lisa scoffed, "You didn't miss much. Just some revision backup classes and history lessons."
"Nothing else?" Jeremy asked with a frown, he had heard that it was about time they were taken on field trips. Either to northern or southern borders.
"Uhm, I don't think so… oh yeah, you missed the forms for field trips," Lisa answered after a bit of thought.
"What-" Jeremy sat up abruptly, causing Lisa to flinch, "Can I still get them? I didn't miss the deadline, right??" he asked in a hurry.
"Geez- calm your tits. The last date is still one week ahead. You have enough time to enroll for it." Lisa kicked Jeremy's stretcher's legs and answered.
"Phew," Jeremy breathed a sigh in relief and laid back down on the stretcher, his hands this time were luckily untied so he didn't have as much trouble.
"Wait… You asked me about the field trip… YOU STILL PLAN ON SUICIDE?!" Lisa, being a smart girl, figured out Jeremy's intentions soon enough after looking at his expressions.
"Of course I do. One week of staying in a cheap cell isn't enough to waver my resolve." Jeremy bumped his chest and proclaimed arrogantly.
"I… don't think that being resolved to suicide is something to be proud of…"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Understand what? That you are an ugly-looking pig? Or your parents don't love you?" Lisa scoffed.
"No. You wouldn't understand how it feels to die~" Jeremy's lips curled into a creepy smile as he looked at Lisa, releasing a bit of his killing intent directed at her.
"W-wh-whh-wa…" Lisa was unable to speak any words as she inched away from Jeremy, not wanting to associate herself with the creepy guy. She had thought he was simply an interesting and weird man, but the same guy now looked like a psychopath from children's nightmares.
'Understand how it feels to die'? What kind of a crack was he on?
"Heh." Jeremy scoffed and sat back on the stretcher. He now needed to prepare for the field trip, since that might be his best, and one and only chance he might get to escape from this dimension.
He had some ideas, like casually entering a deadly zone as if he were out on a stroll. Or 'slip' into a death trap. Or something like that, because he had no idea where they would be going for the trip, north or south.
If it was north, he needed to prepare to deal with fire, and ice for the south. So his preparations depended on the location of their trip. Unfortunately, there was still a week left before the trip details were revealed.
None of Lisa or Jeremy spoke for the rest of the way, Lisa seemed to still have some questions to ask, however, Jeremy looked kind of unapproachable.
Laying casually on the stretcher and delving deep into his thoughts, he didn't care a bit about Lisa. A similar situation to the one when they were going to the Asylum and Jeremy had talked back rudely to Lisa.
'Meh. Who cares about this pig.' Lisa harrumphed in her mind and turned her head away, not looking at Jeremy anymore. But alas, she was unable to control herself and kept peeping at him every once in a while.
She didn't know what was wrong with her!!! She, Lisa who was loved by every male of her class, and the one who could get any model-like man for herself whenever she wanted, was peeking at an ugly fat pig like Jeremy?!
'WHY? What's wrong with me!!' Lisa clutched her fist into balls and sat silently near the stretcher, although her position looked like someone constipated who hadn't relieved herself for days. Awkward, embarrassed, ashamed, and beyond uncomfortable.
"Yes?" Sensing a heated gaze on himself, Jeremy suddenly looked at Lisa, who was peeking at him, fiddling around on her seat. Their eyes locked into a heated combat, a combat that Jeremy won instantly since Lisa broke eye contact as soon as their eyes met!!
Hell, she was already shy she was caught peeking at the piggy, and now they were locked in a gaze?! Hell nah!!
"N-nothing… I was just saying… you can uhm… have my notes if you want…" Lisa's voice got squeaky and soft like a mosquito when she voiced out her helping hand, not an ounce of confidence from her bashful self.
Jeremy was taken aback, he doubted he did anything to make her like that. He wasn't even flirting, or trying to pull her. Simply because he wanted to escape from this planet filled with weirdos as soon as possible. He had no time to waste idly flirting and fucking around like usual.
'Maybe she got turned on by treating her coldly…?' Jeremy wasn't new to these types of girls, but he surely knew they were a different breed. Some went as far as to become a devoted yandere, while some wanted to use their degrader as a source of pleasure, nothing more, nothing less.
"No thanks." Jeremy scoffed in reply to her and went silent once again.
Since she had delivered herself on a silver platter, right in the hands of Jeremy, he would be a fool to let her go!
Especially when these types were extremely fun to play with.
"I… see…" Lisa turned her face away to calm her nerves, appearing cold and aloof on the outside while her inner peace was broken away. Swept by the raging emotions she didn't even know she had in her!!!
By some of his interactions with Lisa, Jeremy had realized that there was some sort of history he had with Lisa when he was still Luke.
Maybe something had happened in the school or maybe they knew each other in some other way, there were many possible reasons. But, Jeremy was now sure of one thing… maybe his stay at NoKiNoDe won't be as bad as he initially expected!!!
Well, though Jeremy soon realized how naïve he was to believe that…
