Truth Or Fiction

Chapter Eighty Two

Shang sighed and tentatively took the scroll. Hey after being whacked by the previous scroll, he was a little apprehensive about taking one again.

A few days after the Chad debacle as Mal had begun to call it in her head, the Godling stood in front of her bed.

"Okay...and why are you doing that?" Hadie asked as Alexandria sighed softly at the mention of the 'Chad debacle'.

Her bed, which had been taken over by the interior of her wardrobe.

"Still doesn't answer the question of why you're standing in front of your bed, Mal!"

Celia chuckled. "Patience, Flametop."

She was going to clean it out and start anew...she just didn't know where to begin.

"Oh...that makes sense," Hadie said, nodding his head slightly and ignoring the chuckles that were coming from his friends.

"Did your closet explode or something?"

Malinda chuckled. "I'm sure it looked that way, if I'm honest," she said.

"Please tell me you don't come bearing food again. It's like you do that every time I see you lately," Mal said, shaking her head as she turned to look at the Arendelle heir in her doorway.

"I mean, visiting his friends and bringing food is kinda Akiho's M.O.," Jay said. "Remember that's how he was introduced in the scrolls."

Ben sighed as he saw the look on his father's face. "Thank you for bringing that up Jay."

"You're welcome," Jay said with a grin.

"What are you even doing here? Your girlfriend is on the other end of the school."

Elle couldn't help but smile as she heard that. She'd been single for so long that...it was nice hearing herself referred to as someone's girlfriend.

"It's a beautiful day and Emir and I wanted to see if you and Estelle wanted to go running around with Emma, Elle, Sven and Rajah?"

"Estelle better be included in that group!" Mal said firmly as Estelle yipped in agreement.

Akiho shook his head. "What about me would imply that Estelle wouldn't be part of the group?Actually...he was included! Didn't you hear scroll-me?"

"...Oh...yeah..." Mal said, biting her lip slightly.

Jay chuckled. "It's the sun," he whispered. "The small amount of time we were there has melted your brain."

"Shut it Jay!"

"...Ben's cool with a tiger being on campus?"

"I mean...one: why wouldn't I be? It's Rajah. But also two: technically the Enchanted Lake wasn't on school property," Benji said.

"Well we wouldn't be on property. We'd go to the Enchanted Lake. Rajah's up there in years but he still likes to swim. What about Estelle?"

"There we go, see? I told you Estelle would be part of the group," Akiho said.

"No one argued otherwise dude," Emir told him.

"Honestly I don't know," Mal told him, ignoring the slight bit of panic at the idea of swimming. Besides, unlike Ben, his shadows seemed to be well aware of when she was lying. She just...she'd already been weak around them once. Letting them know about her fear of water almost seemed like overkill.
