Chapter 55: Cater's Birthday Bash part 1

----------------------

"What a lovely Saturday morning today..." I sigh, yawning in mid-sentence and stretching lazily. At the same time, I pull the curtains aside, with Grim draped loosely around my neck like a scarf.

"Nway... who turned on the lights?" groans Grim, nuzzling his head into my hair and using it like an eye cover to protect me from the gentle rays of sunlight entering our dorm room.

"Come on, Grim, we need to get up and head to the library. Exams start next week," I explain, as I make my way to the lounge.

However, as I reach the bottom of the stairs, a shadow suddenly appears, causing me to let out a scream: "GAH!!!!" I back up abruptly against the stairs, almost losing my balance. At the time, Grim, similarly surprised, swayed to one side. Luckily, the banisters of the staircase are there for me to hold onto or both of us would have landed on the ground!

But it turns out to be Principal Crowley!

"Sorry to startle you both like that!" Principal Crowley apologises. I breathe a sigh of relief, while Grim shakes his head furiously at this unwelcome intrusion.

"A good morning to you, Miss Lilith and Grim!" greets Principal Crowley a bit too loudly and too cheerfully for a sleepy morning.

" Oh, my Sevens! Principal Crowley! You nearly scared us to death!" Grim snaps at him.

Principal Crowley looks slightly embarrassed.

I can faintly hear a giggle against the walls, most likely one of the ghosts who found Grim's statement funny.

"Not the time guys!" I hiss as softly as possible at the wall. It becomes dead silent again.

Feeling bad about Grim's outburst, I quickly change the subject: "Why don't we head over to the Ramshackle Dorm Lounge?"

At the lounge, we settle ourselves down around a table.

"I have come graciously today to convey good news," Principal Crowley declares with a broad smile.

"Just spill already," groans Grim in great annoyance, now fully awake after the scare and recovering from it.

Principal Crowley hands me a crimson envelope with a flick of his wrist. The envelope shows a Heartslabyul symbol at the front with a gold wax seal. It is shaped like a diamond shape and dusted in red powder to highlight the outline of the diamond. On the back, it states that this is a birthday party invitation for Grim and me.

"Ahem, I have come to inform you both that you are invited to the mandatory birthday party of Mr. Diamond," he informs with a suspicious smile.

I raise an eyebrow at the sudden request: "I see, but what does this special occasion have to do we us really, Principal Crowley?"

"Why, Miss Lilith with the lovely gift of the ghost camera, I couldn't think of anyone better than you and Grim to hold the interview of the young birthday boy for the Night Raven College newspaper, of course!" he proposes.

I blink my eyes a few times as the news sinks in: "And you want us to interview Cater-senpai because...?"

"Due to the increase of overblot cases lately within the college. I believe that it's high time to improve the moods and lives of the students and improve their social and mental health! Therefore, I've come up with an idea for you and Grim to interview Mr. Diamond for the NRC newspaper. But don't worry, the individuals I will assign you for future interviews will always be students you know or have met at least a few times, as I'm so gracious."
