The Tigress

Chapter 17:"The Club Officer"

So, We head to Drama Club Officer room to meet Louis.

-continued-
"Here we are" Legoshi tells me than proceeds to disappear.
Legoshi...come back. I don't know how to act with this Louis character.

"...."

"...."

It was quiet. Sheila and I didn't know how to do this. Hmm, how do we do this? I know we should knock first and wait to hear if he's in there. If not, than we look elsewhere. If so, than we can enter. Wait...is Louis a herbivore or carnivore? Crap, I didn't ask. I should have ask! How am I going to approach this? How I always do? Of course! How else would I approach this?

'A predator never bows to prey!'

Yup, there's sweet old mother's teachings. If she found out I was thinking of bowing to a herbivore...oh boy. She would be furious! Probably transfer me out of school and back into homeschooling to teach me of my actions.

I go to knock on the door but I hesitate....maybe I should..no! Never hesitate! And with that final thought....I knock on the door.

Knock knock

"...."

"...."

It was silent for a moment...there was no noise made. Just nothing but silence...until...

"Come in." A deep voice invites us in...please be a carnivore.

We enter the room with Sheila going first...I know I should go in first but I rather not. I don't know who this animal is so I would rather sacrifice someone first...okay...wait! When did you get here!

When you were remembering your mother's lecture.

Oh yeah. I forgot that mother's lecture was bored into you.

More like you but okay.

Can you go away now? I'm facing a Club Officer.

Fine. But only because I'm not needed at the moment!

And then she was gone. I need to work on that but I'll get to it when I get to it. Now where was I? Ah yes! Meeting Louis! It also seems I missed most of the conversation but it's not directed at me. Wait a minute...he's a deer! A herbivore? This is bad....never mind. It doesn't matter!

I'm still going to be the same old Valerie and I'm not going to change who I am, just so I can fit in with a bunch of push overs....not that Legoshi is one. He's a soft soul and I hope he learns to at least toughen up a little so he won't be walked all over...or taken advantage of.

"Sheila, it seems like you were invited to be the part of the dance team considering your skills and experience from your work area."

Work area? Why did that sound like he knew something no one knew...it also looked like Shiela knew what he was talking about since she flinched at the directed words. What is she hiding? Should I find out? I mean she is my roommate...but it's not any of my business and if she wanted me to know, she would tell me. I should not go sniffing in any business unless it includes me.

"The dance team?" She asked.

"Of course. What other team requirements meet your skills and experience?" He asked as he raised a brow.

"Ah...of course." She says as she looks down..to which annoyed him. I don't know why he looks annoyed by that action but it doesn't matter since the conversation is soon over.

"If that's all you wanted to know than you may leave and start as soon as you can." He dismisses her. Looks like she was approved by him.

"Okay." She says as she leaves. Huh, that leaves us alone. A deer and a tiger...a predator and a prey. Ack! No! Stop! These instincts are starting to get harder to control. I need to find something stronger to ground myself. Now to greet myself.
