I was walking back to my locker with Emil and Teddy seeing as we had the last class together. Surprisingly school here was kinda like the schooling I did back home before becoming Emil's guard and joining the classes he had.
"I've learnt that the teachers here are so friendly." Emil stated as we walked till we stop in front of Teddy's locker. "Especially when you tip them."
'Please tell me he hasn't been tipping the teachers when I haven't been looking.'
"You can't tip teachers." Teddy informed making me give a worried look.
"Well sure you can."
'And he has. Man that boy is sneaky when he wants to be.'
"You just pull out some money and hand it to them." He said pulling out a ward of 100 bills out of his pocket.
I quickly covered his hand and used my body to block the unwanted attention of anyone seeing this.
"Emil, put that away."
"Emil why do you have so much money?" Teddy asked making Emil give a worried confused look.
"Is this a lot?" He asked leaning in so no one else saw.
"Emil I'm serious put it away." I told making him quickly do so.
"One of those is a lot. What are you doing with so much money?"
"I....um.... you see I'd.... I um..." he stuttered until the bell rang.
'Gotta think.'
"I would love to give you the very simple explanation, but the fact is there is no time because as you heard for yourselves the bell has rung. Let us never speak of this again. Goodbye." He said before grabbing ahold of my wrist and making us rush off down the hallway.
'This is going to be bad.'
Once we found a space away from everyone, I began to pace back and forth as Emil watched on.
"Ok we must set some ground rules if we are to make this whole thing work. No tipping people or teaches, unless they work in jobs that live off of tips. No showing a bunch of money, no out of ordinary things, no...."
"Anna please." He told as he grabbed my shoulders so I looked towards him. "Please calm down before you work yourself up too much. Everything is ok, no one knows."
"But that doesn't mean that no one will think something is off. I can tell Teddy is smart, and I don't have a good feeling about this. We must keep a lower profile."
"I understand. I'm glad I have you here with me." He told before giving me a hug.
"Glad I'm here to help." I told giving him a few pats on the back.
'What a strange world we live in.'
