Jericho Pt. 2

Morticias Pov

I walked up the spiral staircase and up to our dorm door. It appeared to be open, so closed you wouldn't be able to tell. I finally opened the door all the way and a boy was digging through Larissa's things.

"What are you doing?"

"Larissa asked me to bring her something, I'm just looking for it."

"Oh, carry on." I made a sharp turn to my side of the room and grabbed my pocket knife from my newly arranged closet.

I walked back out of the dorm and shut the door, making my way to the nevermore gates with Larissa. We met up with Gomez and walked out of the gates of Nevermore Academy, Thing hiding deep inside of my bag.

"Where to first?"

"How about we go to a diner first and you can take Bianca to the stores. Gomez and I have private plans."

"We do?"

"Yes, we do."

"Oh yeah."

"Can I talk to you privately for a minute?"

"Yes?" We walked to the other end of the block, there's no way Bianca or Gomez could hear us.

"Are you really going to leave me alone with her and her pack of mind-controlling sirens?"

"Absolutely. Sorry but I need to get to know Gomez more. He can be a big advantage to me and can make my days at this school way easier."

"Do you like him?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, do you have a crush on him?"

I paused to think. Do I have a crush on Gomez? Of course he's a great guy but do I imagine us together? No, I don't think so.

"I just like him as a friend."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Uhh..yeah. I'm totally sure he's not my crush."

"So that means you do have a crush!? Who is it?"

"You wouldn't believe me."

"Yeah I would."

"You really wouldn't.."

"Why not?"

"I think you'd be less surprised, more disgusted."

"Fine, I won't push you but if you ask me I'll help you out. I know a thing or two about romance."

"I don't think I want to ask relationship advice from someone dating another as..annoying as Bianca. Respectfully."

"Harsh, but fair."

"Can I ask a personal question?"

"Uhm. I guess yea, how bad can it be?"

"Well, why did you date Bianca in the first place if you realize how much of a bad aura she has?"

"Oh that's it? I mean she wasn't ALWAYS like this. I don't know how it got so bad but we were fine at first."

"When was 'at first'?"

"Last year."

"HURRY UP!"

We rolled our eyes in unison before finally splitting up.

"So what's this business you were talking about earlier?"

"If you don't mind, I want the rest of this day to go my way."

"I love a woman who takes control, believe it or not."

"Are you flirting with me Gomez?"

"Is it working?" I smirked in his direction.

"It might be. Anyways, I planned to go and get a quad. Then, I wanted to know some more about this town so I was going to head to the museum. I'm pretty sure Larissa and Bianca just went shopping. So, I'm sure we have pretty much a full day."

"What about the principal and us being gone for hours?"

"You're right. She might notice Bianca gone since she always makes herself known. But there's no classes today so do we have that much to worry about? What could happen?"

"Agreed. Let's have a carefree time."

"Do you know any coffee shops around here?"

"As a matter a fact I do." We walked down the busy street, getting weird looks from people on both sides of us.

I could care less though, I just want to be back home and somebody will be helping me with that.
