Tournament of Death

Chapter 3

Elis stares at me awkwardly as I thought over Laru’s words. Why was she acting that way to me? I just couldn’t understand what I did to make her act this way towards me.

“Aren’t you two going to eat breakfast?” Asher walks into the room. He looks back and forth at us as if he were trying to solve a puzzle. I got up and walked toward the door. Elis stares at me as I walked. I tried to ignore his stare but I felt self-conscious of his gaze. I look at Asher he was slightly smiling as I walk past him. His smile seemed kind of forced. I walk past him and went straight to the table.

“Are you okay?” I look up to see Night staring at me.

“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” I smiled as I grab an apple and took a bite out of it. Night warily gives me a look.

“Your face is red,” Anally lets out a laugh. Was I seriously blushing? I saw Laru let out an angry sigh. I look at her. Why was she acting that way?

“I wonder why,” Laru snaps as she gets up and walks out of the room.

“What’s up with her?” Night asks confused.

“You sure are oblivious,” Anally chuckles.

“What are you talking about?” Night slightly glares at her. I look at her confused.

“You two are so oblivious about these kind of things,” Anally’s smile brightens. Night rolls his eyes.

“What exactly are we so oblivious about?” Night snaps.

“Things related to the heart?” Anally exaggerates as she claps her hands together.

“He claims he knows about those kind of things but he is pretty thick headed about those kind of things,” Asher walks into the room. He flips his hair and starts to talk like a girl. “You know because he totally knows when a girl likes him.”

“I know right, he doesn’t realize anything because he is so busy being a leader,” Anally laughs as she raises her voice to sound more girly. 

“Can’t you two shut up?” Night snaps. Anally and Asher laugh.

“Why is Nighty getting mad at us?” Anally teases.

“Don’t call me that,” Night’s face turned slightly red at the nickname.

“What am I making Nighty nervous,” Anally pinches Night’s cheek as if he were a little kid. Night lightly slaps her hands away.

“Can you stop it already?” he snaps angrily.

“Why should we? You make the most interesting expressions when we tease you,” Anally lets out a laugh. Night rolls his eyes.

“Come on we’re just joking,” Asher chuckles.

“Nighty here can’t take a joke,” Anally ruffles his hair. Night sits up and walks out of the room.

“I just noticed this but that reaction was… more expected coming out of a girl,” Asher states. They were quiet for a few minutes before they burst out laughing.  After a few minutes I join in.

“What are you guys laughing about?” Elis walks into the room.

“Just Night’s reaction to us teasing him,” Asher answers between laughs.

“Yeah, he tends to overreact to small things,” Elis smiles before sitting down next to me.

“Although he isn’t the only one,” Anally smirks at me. I questionably look at her. “We have someone right here who freaks out over silly things.”
