MADNESS: A LOKI FAN FICTION

❤ CHAPTER NINETEEN: JEALOUSY ❤

ANNIE'S POV

That afternoon Harry offered to walk me home after I told him Megan wasn't around.As we walked I noticed he was unusually quiet."Are you okay?" I asked him.

He smiled sadly at me."Nothing gets past you,huh? Is it that obvious I'm sad?" I smiled and nodded.He let out a sigh.

"I'm just thinking about Sophia." He told me.

I did my best not to look jealous."what about her?" I asked."is she your girlfriend?"

"I thought so." He replied in a far-away voice.

"What do you mean?"I frowned at him.

"Just found out she has a thing with Loki.." He said.

"Loki? As in the one and only Loki from my class?" I gasped.He nodded at me."That..that can't be true!" I stuttered."Loki told me Sophia was the one after him.He assured me there was nothing between them. He told me he talked to you about it!"

Harry nodded."Yeah,I went to confront him about it.I went in feeling all high and mighty ready to defend 'my girl'," he added with a chuckle,"but he was really cool with me.He said it was true he was going out with Sophia,but that was it.Then he told me to go clear up my 'situationship' with her.Haha."

I laughed with him."what is a situationship?" I asked,and he only shook his head at me."And Loki is anything but cool."I added."Megan and I hate him.Haven't you heard about what he called her today?"

He tried not to laugh."Garbage breath? Oh,I heard it." He snickered.

"Its not funny!" I said as I hit him on the sides."who told you Loki and Sophia are a couple anyway?"

"Sophia herself."

"Both Sophia and Loki are not trustworthy people."

"Then I guess we'll never know who's telling the truth."

I sighed."I guess so."

Harry put at arm around my neck and pulled me close,resting his head on top of mine.I felt sorry that he was sad,but I couldn't help but feel happy because now I knew that he didn't belong to Sophia or anyone else.

LOKI'S POV

Thursday went by in a haze.Megan was still absent from school but I was not as worried as I had been before.Annie had dropped by to visit her and she had been holding hands with Harry.I presumed that was why she was so happy in class that morning. I,on the other hand, wasn't too psyched about anything.I ignored everyone the whole day and buried my head in my books.

I did not feel like walking home that day so I went behind the school building and teleported to my room,right on my bed.I rested for about ten minutes before finally deciding to go to the kitchen to get myself something to eat.
I got yet another shock from Sif when I found her dressed in nothing but a bra and underwear,polishing her armour and swords.

"I'm getting sick and tired of you parading your naked body everywhere around the house,Sif!" I yelled,quickly covering my eyes and looking away.

"I'm polishing my armour,Loki. You know I have nothing else to wear." She answered.

"You could have put on something! One of Thor's shirts maybe--"

"But you scolded me the last time I did that!"

"Well,right now I'm telling you to put one on! Its better than nothing at all!" I growled."if I didn't know any better I'd say you were trying to seduce me!"

"Nonsense." She scoffed.

I forced myself to look back at her.I had an idea."I'm taking you shopping."I told her."Go upstairs and look around my clothes.Find a shirt and some pants,then come back down here." She got up and walked past me,jabbing me on the sides on purpose as she did so.I shook my head at her and went on to the kitchen to have a quick bite of anything I could find before she came back.

There was practically nothing in the fridge.I made a mental note to pass by the grocery store on our way back. Sif had done nothing ever since she came.I felt like I was taking more care of her than she was of me. It made me miss Thor.He annoyed me but he got most things done around the house.Plus there was always food around,thanks to his insatiable appetite.

I ended up having only a glass of juice.I was down to my third glass when Sif came back down dressed in one of my green shirts and leather pants.They were loose fitting but she looked decent in them.I made a belt appear round her waist to keep the pants from falling.She wore her Asgardian boots but I didn't mind that.They weren't too different from what the mortals put on.

"How do I look?" She asked,twirling around for me. I finished my drink and smirked.

"Ehehe..you look like a Midgardian."

She bowed theatrically."Thank you,thank you very much."

"Are you ready now?" I asked as I got up. She nodded.

"Okay then. Let's go."

MEGAN'S POV

I had been sitting outside for the entire afternoon and I was 100% sure that I had not seen him coming home,so I was beyond shocked when I saw him coming out of his door."Wait,what the--?!" I spat and almost choked on the bottled water I was drinking.I quickly looked at the time on my watch.It was only five minutes past the end of school time,so there was no explanation as to why he was already home and how he had made it inside without me noticing.It was impossible.

When I looked up from my watch all my disbelief was replaced by jealousy when I saw Sif coming out of the house and dressed in Loki's clothes.I knew because I had seen him dress in them before.Huh,so that's how close they are,I thought to myself,sharing clothes and all.When she saw me she waved at me.She seemed like a nice girl,and if not for my intense jealousy maybe we could have been good friends,but no.I hated her because she had the one thing I wanted but couldn't have.

She had Loki's love.

I gave a little wave back and was surprised when she dashed across the road to come to me."Sif,get back here!" Loki called her,but she ignored him. She ran across the lawn and came to sit right next to me.

"Hello,Megan." She greeted me.I smiled shyly at her in response."Loki is taking me shopping.Care to join us?" She offered.

I felt like she had just stabbed me with a knife. Shopping? Wow,how sweet of Loki.He sounded like the perfect boyfriend,both inside and out of the bedroom.Sif appeared to be quite happy.I sighed.But I would never know what that felt like,would I? "No,thank you." I told her.it was nice of her to invite me,but seeing them together would only make me feel worse.

"Oh." Her face dropped."Well,see you around." She got to her feet and dashed back to Loki who took her by the hand and whisked her away. I watched them till they were out of sight.

When they were finally gone I found myself thinking about all the strange things I had noticed about Loki since they moved into the neighbourhood.First off,he didn't exactly speak like the rest of us.It was definitely English,but something about the way he talked felt way off and foreign.When Thor spoke he sounded even stranger. And then there was the thing with his eyes.it was the freakiest thing I had ever seen.And I also remembered how he seemed to have just disappeared from the coffee shop after I was done talking to him.Then how come he was the only sober one after a drinking spree of his brother's strong alcohol? And finally the unexplainable way that he had gotten home. Unless he was a magician of some sort,something was definately up,and I was going to find out what it was.All this mystery was eating me up inside.
