8: Nighttime monsters

Chapter 8, here we go. SO sorry for not uploading in a long time. It's hard to find the time, what with all the cocurricular activities at school. Like, I have to make birthday charts whenever it's someone's birthday, and we're gonna have a band competition soon. I'm dying as a student.

"Y'know, you really should've thought of this before"

Said Lexie, with a very judgmental look.

"I know, I know! I didn't think it through, what with all the other things I'm concerned about", I tried defending myself, referring to the preparations for this year's graduation day.

Right at that moment, we were in the girl's common room, very troubled. I daren't break the news to our guests that we were scarce of spare rooms. We could have them stay at a hotel, but turns out they had no cash on them for booking a hotel as they needed it to buy resources, and it was against Sir Wieldburg's policy to pay for them. I thought they could just use one of the spare dorm rooms, but they were all occupied. 

"I think they'll have to spend the night in the occupied dorms", I came up with the most sensible solution I could think of. 

Lexie certainly thought otherwise.

"Girl, what?! What is going on in your mind, Y/N?! No one would want to share their room with some complete strangers that happen to be pirates! Let alone the fact that they won't be able to fit. There are, how many of them?", she counted on her fingers, "seven of them!"

Her points were all valid, but there was no other choice. We had to compromise.

"We'd have to break them up, obviously. And no one is sharing rooms with strangers. The guests will share with people they already know. Like me. See? I'm making a huge sacrifice", I reasoned.

"As if they'd all fit in your room!", she scoffed.

Then she drew back comically when she saw my pleading face.

"No. No, no, no , no, no! Never! Look, Y/N, I love you, but there is no way I'm sharing my room with them. No. Fucking. Way"

"Lexie, please! I need your help. I can't just leave them out in the cold or anything. We've taken them in as guests, pirates or not. You won't have to share with any of the boys, I know you'd hate that. I've talked to Kaiko, and he said that he's more than happy to share with the boys. That leaves Nami and Vivi. You could take Nami, you like her"

"Now that is very tempting"

"So you'll do it?"

"Fine. Not like I want to, I'm just doing it for your sake, so appreciate it"

"I appreciate it very much!", I chirped, and threw her into a hug. "Thanks so much, Lexie!"

She huffed and muttered something, but she returned the hug all the same.

"What happened..?" Vivi asked, confused.
