She's a Lady

Chapter 10~Operation What's in the Sketchpad Commence!!

~I'm thinking of going back and writing the dates of each chapter at the top. Anyone think I shouldn't?~

December

I sighed as I plopped down on my couch, swinging my legs up and putting them over Isi's lap.

"What the hell? Get off!"

"My couch, my rules." 

I guess Isi and I were warming up to each other, kinda. Now his arrogance and constant irritating just reminded me of a brother. We'd finished the project, so now we just sit around my house, fighting over who gets to watch what on Netflix. Sometimes I'd catch him drawing, and try to get a look at what it was, but he'd never show me. He was drawing now, actually, but when I got up on my knees to see what it was, he closed the notebook and shooed me away. Pouting, I shifted back into my previous position, picking up my Xbox controller and turning on the console. I went through my downloaded games, wondering what I should play. When I found Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns, I chose it, because I was in the mood to play a frustrating game that I could never beat ever in my life.

Thirty minutes into pissing myself off, there was a knock at the door. "It's open!!" I yelled. I heard the door open and then close, then Quin walked over and plopped himself down in my recliner. 

"You know," he said, "I could have been an ax murderer, and you just let me in your house."

"With how pissed she is right now, I wouldn't be surprised if she took the ax out of your hands and beat you with the blunt end," Isi muttered, causing me to kick him in the gut. He doubled over, then glared at me.

"Why is she pissed?" Quin asked.

"I'm playing Lightning Returns."

"Oh, of course. I came at a bad time. I think I'll just go..."

"No, you're staying right there. You've beaten this game four times. You're helping me."

He sighed. "Fine... That's the wrong way."

"But it told me to go this way!"

"What did?"

"Yahoo..."

Quin facepalmed, and Isi called me an idiot under his breath. "Just go the other way, dumbass."

"Fine, fine..." I turned Lightning around and went back the way I came.

"I hate that game, I hate that game, I hate that game, I hate that game..." I muttered as I got out some pizza rolls.

"You're the one that decided to play it," Quin said, leaning up against the counter. 

"Well, now I regret it completely. I hate it." I pouted as I put the rolls in the microwave, earning a pat on the head from Quin. I smacked his hand away before going and sitting back on the couch. I noticed Isi wasn't there. I also noticed that he'd left his sketchpad. I dove for it, but before I could get to it, someone had me by the back of my shirt.

"Not happening," Isi said, pulling me back and making me fall onto the floor. I crossed my arms and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Why can't I see it?!" I asked.
