Helluva Friend

Chapter 3

I woke up the next morning in my own bed. The sun has just risen as a sign through my window. As I got up, I then remembered what happened last night. I remembered Loona. Better check on her to see if she hasn't done anything stupid.

As I walked out, I didn't see her. Where is she? Did she just ran out this morning, or when I was asleep? I swear this girl is a handful all right. I better go find her before she gets into more trouble.

I didn't have to explore far as she opened my door and entered with a mixture of irritation and fear. She then looked at me.

"Bogy." She said. "When you found me, was there a bag next to me?"

"A bag?" I asked.

"Yes! It's a dark blue bag with a crescent moon on it with my name! Was it there?!?"

Jeez. This girl is not worried about her injury, but worried about her bag?

"No. There wasn't any bag near you." I responded.

"FUCK! FUCK!" She shouted as she paced back and forth. This girl needs to stop or else I'll have to re-close the wound for the second time!

"Loona! Calm down! It's just a bag!"

"That bag has one important object in it! Without it......."

"Without it what? What object?"

"Nevermind! I need to go get it!" She tried to get out but I stopped her. She turned with a hateful glare, threatening to beat the crap out of me if I don't let go.

"Stop it!" I demanded. "Do you even know where it is now?" She opened her mouth but didn't respond. She looked down trying to remember. She sighed after a sec.

"No. It was dark and I don't know much about this place." She then had a sad look on her face. This is new. A girl like her being an absolute bitch, is now upset. "Now I'll never get back."

"Back? You mean back home?" I asked. She looked right back at me, reverting back to her previous attitude.

"Yea. But I hate it there." What? She was worried about this book that will strangely return her back home, and now she said she hates it?

"Ok. But why do you need that book?" I asked trying to clarify things so that I can try to help. She looked away trying to find some words.

"It's.......um.......It's a special treasure. I uh...never want to lose it."

"Treasure? Like something so special that you got from a friend?"

"Uh....yea. Yea. I got it from a great friend. But now I lost it."

Special treasure huh? By the way she spoke, I can tell she wasn't telling the truth entirely. Then again, I suppose that explains why she seems so frantic to find it. After all, I understand what it's like to have something special.

"Don't judged Bogy." She spat at me.

"I'm not." I reassured her. "In fact, I understand what it's like to have a special treasure you don't want to be apart from."

She looked at with, being slightly surprised.

"Really?"

"Yea. In fact, I have my own special treasure here if you are ever interested."

Loona seemed a bit interested, but not interested enough to know what it is. It's fine. I doubt she want to have anything to do with me any further.

All of a sudden, her stomach growled. Telling her that she needs to eat something. She blushed while looking intimidating. I chuckled a bit while feeling her cold stare at me. I admit. It was cute to see her blush, not that I want her mind you.

"I guess we need to eat. What would you like?" I asked.

"I don't care. As long as it's good" She replied.

I nodded and decided to make some eggs and bacon for us both. While the food was sizzling, I can see her sniffing the food while she licked her lips. I can tell she's gonna love it. This gave me enough confidence into making a good breakfast.

As soon as I sat the plates filled with eggs and bacon down, Loona began chowing down as if she hasn't had a meal for so long, and even show an expression telling me the food is delicious. I suppose that explains why she's too skinny and her ribs are partly showing. Oh well. At least she's eating again. But I notice that she nearly took half the food away. I need to eat before it's gone.

I threw the paper plates away and cleaned the dishes While she looked around with curiosity. I decided to let her explore a bit. After all, she is treated as a guest, not a prisoner.

"So Loony."

She looked back with shock and annoyance.

"What did you called me?"

"I called you Loony. Since you call me Bogy, I decided to give you a nickname as well. Sounds fair?"

Loona walk up to me and was about to punch me, but she stopped and stared.

"Listen Bogy. I call you that because your name is hard to pronounce. But My name is not hard to say. So don't! Call me Loony!"

"Ok ok. Fine. But one of these days, you are gonna have to say my real name."

"Fad chance."

I sighed as I finished the dishes. After that, I decided to take Loona exploring around the city in hopes of finding her book. She was surprised when I told her we're gonna find it, but quickly reverts back to her intimidating look to show nothing. I smiled. She may seem like a bad girl, but deep down, I think she's a misunderstood sweet girl. Hopefully this little treasure hunt will help soften her up. I hope...
