Mother of Pearl: A Floyd Leech x OC Fanfiction [ON HIATUS]

Chapter 15

I was up early the next morning. With the tournament and my run-in with Floyd Leech, my night was restless. It was the crack of dawn. I sat in the main living area reading my textbooks.

"So, if I do this...then..." I mumbled to myself. I was still in my pajamas, a pair of shorts with an oversized t-shirt. I wiggled my magic pen between my upper lip and my nose. I was so engrossed I didn't hear the door open.

"Hey," a gruff voice sprung me from my concentration. "Is your dorm leader awake?"

Jack stood in the archway to the main hall. He was sweaty in his gym uniform.

"What are you doing in our dorm?!" I closed my textbook and sprung to my feet. Crap! I don't have my makeshift binder on! Oh, please let this shirt hide anything and everything.

"I was jogging and wanted to make sure you didn't oversleep. So, are they up?" Jack asked again. It was like he thought this was totally normal!

"No! It's barely dawn!" I buried my face in my hands.

"Hmm, their room is upstairs, right?" Jack went to the main staircase.

"Wha-Wait! Hold up there! You don't just storm into someone's home and wake them up!" I followed him. I ran up the steps to keep up with his large strides. When I caught up, I grabbed his arm and dug my heels into the floorboards. "Where. Are. Your. Manners?!" He pulled me along like a sled dog.

He opened room after room before he found Yuu's. When he opened the door, both Yuu and Grim were fast asleep. Yuu's face was contorted as though they were having a nightmare. Grim was out cold. Jack threw the door open wider. It almost fell off the hinges with a large bang. Yuu and Grim stirred with a jolt.

"Hey, wake up," Jack unceremoniously said.

"What a sad dream," Yuu groggily mumbled as they sat up.

"Huh?" Grim rubbed his eyes. "What are you doing in our dorm?"

"He barged in," I groaned.

"I was on a run this morning. Today is the day of the tournament and I didn't want to oversleep," he gave the explanation.

"Oh yeah, it is!" Grim jumped. "We're going to catch that criminal and then we're gonna be rewarded by being in the tournament!"

"Let's do our best!" Yuu yawned out.

"Hmph, then I'll see you at the arena." Jack said his departing words. "Don't go back to sleep."

"I'll make sure they don't. Later!" I started pushing him out of the dorm.

When the alarm clock was gone, we all got ready for the upcoming event. The plan was underway.

"Viv don't forget to wear the new dorm uniform. Crowley dropped them off when you were at your lessons," Yuu reminded me as I brushed my teeth.

"Mhmm!" I gave them a thumbs up. I finished brushing my teeth and wrapped my chest. It was tighter than I usually did it, but it wasn't completely flat. The new uniform was on my bed. It was a dark, sea-foam green and I navy-hunter green striped blouse. The capris pants were also a deep shade of the navy- hunter green. A lavender striped waist section with four purple buttons and lace on the edges matched the lilac lace hair accessory. The shoes looked like heeled penny-loafers and the socks were a thin lace as well. A set of dark gloves were on my end table and a lengthy brown overcoat with purple buttons hung behind my door. The outfit had an old Victorian style to it. I tied up my braids in a high ponytail with the lace hair accessory to finish getting dressed. I gave my stamp of approval in the mirror.

I look like some sort of detective. Fitting, since we are gonna wrap up the case of the Magift Tournament.

I made my way to the foyer. Yuu and Grim were already waiting for me at the door. Yuu's uniform had a few differences to mine. Their pants were longer and they did not have the green striped dress shirt or the purple waist band. Instead, they had a white dress shirt with a vest that had the lavender striped pattern of my waist band. Their blazer was a dark navy-green hue on the outside. From the long coat tails, I could see the striped pattern on my blouse. The gloves were the same as mine along with the overcoat they were trying to button. On their head was a dark brown top hat with a lilac lace sash. Grim's collar now had a small bat on it and the lilac lace trim.
