Andrea Leno
I'm bored. There's nothing to do today. No Henry. No missions. All of my family is currently out of the house. I'm just sitting down here in the training room training my demonic and sword techniques. I don't know what else to do.
Without a better clue on what to do I sat back down in the lotus position, closed my eyes, and began to circulate my demonic energy again. I took a deep breath in, pulling the demonic energy in from my surroundings and forced it to move to the core in my heart. I purified it by swirling it around within the core and forcing out the impurities through an exhale, leaving only the pure energy within the core.
After doing this a few more times I opened my eyes and stood back up, that was enough for one day. Now I'm back to the problem of not knowing what to do. I began walking back upstairs to make food when my phone buzzed in my pocket.
I got a text from one of my friends, Tessa, asking me if I wanted to join her and some other friends to get food. Perfect timing. I responded saying I would join in a little bit.
I quickly made my way upstairs and to the bathroom where I took a quick shower and got changed, Then headed off to join my friends. After driving for a few minutes I made it to FastBurger, the same place me and Henry went to eat on our last date, the most popular fast food chain around. I walked inside to see Tessa and some others sitting down at a table, they saw me and waved me over.
Tessa was a fun girl. She was bright, outgoing, and made friends with just about everyone, with her shoulder length blonde hair and bright blue eyes and cute appearance she was pretty popular amongst the boys in our school.
"HIIII Andrea!!" Tessa was practically jumping out of her seat and waving. I waved back and before going to sit with them I went to the counter to order food.
After I received my food I finally joined them at their table and began eating. I talked with the others while eating and quickly finished my food and threw it away. I got up and walked over the trash can to throw my food away and by the time I got back to the table they had already moved onto another topic.
"So Andrea, how is it going with Henry?" One of the girls asked. Great. Gossip. I am surprised it took this long to get to this topic though. They were all looking at me with anticipation in their eyes, as if this is what they had been waiting for the whole time. "It's going good, as far as I know. We've gotten along and have gone on a few dates." I responded, sitting back down.
"That's good, that's good. Hey, do you know what Henry's job is? He always backs out on plans ro cancels the class for work, but won't tell anyone what he does." Another one of the girls asked.
That kind of struck a nerve, Henry still won't even tell me what his job is, so I've long stopped pressing the issue. Whenever I ask he just says it is a public service job but won't say more than that and always tries to change the topic. After pondering over it for a few moments I gave the girls an answer "Public service, he works in public service."
They all gave me confused looks. "What does that mean?" Tessa asked, obviously confused, but I already had an answer for that. "It's his job and he doesn't wish to tell others so that's all I can say. It's not my place to be giving out his secrets." Perfect answer. This way it seems like I know more than I do and I can make them think we're close enough to share deep secrets.
"If you say so." Tessa said, depressed. It didn't take long for her to perk back up though as she suddenly remembered something else and began to ramble on about some music artist. A while later I gave them my goodbyes and headed back home.
When I arrived home, no one was there, all of my family was still out doing their own things. Putting me back at square one, boredom. I thought of cleaning the house, but my mom was strict about things being clean and orderly so everything was already clean.
None of my demon slaying gear needed maintenance as I'd already done that earlier so I was left to just sit on the couch and watch TV, but that quickly got boring too as nothing good was on.
Eventually I gave up on trying to entertain myself and just decided to go to bed early. As I waited for sleep to find me I envisioned my date with Henry tomorrow, it was going to be so much fun.
Henry Esprit
After making it home I continued to try to practice Spiritus Possessionem to no avail. I felt like I had mastered the energy combination, but I couldn't get our minds to merge. Every time we tried there was strong rejection that sent Aurum out and caused me to throw up. Every. Single. Time. At this point we were literally practicing in the bathroom.
Mana was concerned every time she heard me throw up and kept coming up to the other side of the bathroom door to check on me. Eventually we gave up and called it a day. I wanted to ask my parents about it, but they were in an elders meeting that was lasting deep into the night.
Exhausted and hungry I decided to skip dinner. All the puking made me lost my appetite. I went straight to bed after taking a shower and very quickly fell asleep, excited about my date with Andrea tomorrow.
