Twisted: The Revelation

Chapter 12: 'Too' Close?

Lyra's POV

I've been on the look out for weird and unusual routines and stuff happening around here at Twisted High. I mean, from the name of the high school itself pffft.

Ehh anyway, speaking of weird, I am totally talking about Riley and Zhion's awfully good friendship! No offense Bill, Grodella. Even though they did mention they are in a relationship, darn it.

Anyway, I decided to leave Lyca alone for a sec, since she is probably 'checking out' Riley's older brother again. I headed down to the library to just go read, when I saw all too familiar faces, quietly laughing and reading some books together.

It was Riley with Zhion. WAIT RILEY WITH ZHION?! ASDFGHJKL.

I turned to my left to go get some books and find out what is really going on between those two, when I was stopped in my tracks by a male; let's say he is inches taller than me.

"Oh s-sorry I wasn't looking where I was going."

"It's okay, same here."

We walked past by each other. When I finally found the book I wanted to read so badly, but I frowned when it was on the highest shelf. Darn my height. If only I was tall I could reach it.

"Here, let me help you." said the guy I bumped into earlier, as he reached for the top shelf and gave me the book.

"Thanks! Wait are you sitting with somebody already?"

"Well I WAS, but then my friend Zhion invited his girlfriend over, so guess I'm sitting on my own. You?"

"Eh Riley is actually a best friend of mine, but then..."

We looked at each other for a few seconds, then we said something in chorus.

"Hey wanna sit together?"

We both laughed and nodded, as we searched a table for us to sit in. He lookds undeniably attractive though.

We got our own books, so we rarely talked to each other. We mostly... were reading books, so figures it was too quiet here in the library.

"I heard you're from Lenorah. Congratulations on your championship again."

"Thanks, I guess."

"No problem."

We spent the next minutes in silence, since we went back to our own fantasies in our own books and continued reading.

Since it was almost back to class, and I have Arts, figured I'd start walking back.

"Hey, what subject do you have?"

"Arts."

"Same. Maybe we can walk back to the classroom together?"

Pffft Lyca's probably crying searching for me, but I guess I'll meet up with her later, let's say after class.

I nodded as we headed back to our room.

"You know, I am really weirded out about Riley and Zhion?"

"How so?"

"They always argue, quarrel, disagree on each other's opnions. Awhile ago was awfully weird how they just... got along."

He agreed, "Yeah, never seen those two that close."

"By the way, I never got your name, Mr. Height."

"It's Edward, Ms. Shorty."

"Lyra." I rolled my eyes playfully.

We shook hands as we contonued going back to our room for Arts Class.

The activity today was fun actually; draw your friend's face.

I had no one in mind to draw, since you can only draw your friends who are in here right now. I decided to just draw Edward anyway. Don't know why, but he's also been glancing at me occasionally.

Anyway, and done! I finished drawing him.

The teacher did tell that we will come in front by pairs and just tell about some stuff about the friend you drew. Of course, the teacher called me first, so Edward stood up as well.

Huh, he stood up? He drew me? So that explains the glances earlier.

We went in front and I started up.

"This is Edward Dragonheart, a friend I met earlier at lunch period, at the library to be specific anf exact. Since I have an awfully short height, he helped me get the book I wanted to read. I was actually at the library to just find out what's been going on with my best friend lately, with her pretend boyfriend of some sort, since they never got along. But they were really getting along, which was weird."

"Oh, uh this is Lyra Shallowwood. A gorgeous girl I met awhile ago at the library. I was in the library for the same purpose as her, though I was surprised that my best friend and her best friend are a couple, and that we both are sitting alone, so I figured, inviting her to sit together would be a good thing. Though it was quiet, it was fun spending lunch time in the peace and quiet with her at the library. She wasn't like any of the other girls I've met; she's simple, beautiful, kind, humble and smart."

I blushed at his explanation, and the teacher thanked us and told us to go back to our seats again.

I glanced at him and he gave me a smile, which, in return, I gave him a smile as well. He's a sweet guy, I'll give him that.

Thankfully the bell rang, signaling that there is one more subject before classes are over.

"See you later when classes are done?"

"Sorry I was kind of gonna find my sister, hope she isn't whining cause she misses me or something." I said, chuckling lightly at the thought of Lyca crying on me.

"Some other time then."

I nodded and made my way to my Science Class.

The whole class hour's really boring; we just mixed up some chemicals and observed the outcomes.

Aftef that, the bell rang, to which everyone got excited.

Ah, wonder what we will both be having for dinner.

I put some stuff in my locker and waited outside the school building for my sister, though it kind of hurts to see her walking home with Marcus.

Eh, I just walked home alone, but I was kinda feeling that someone's following me, or something like that of some sort.

For like the nth time I turned around, seeing no one.

Jeez I really have to brush this feeling off.

Just when I turned around, I suddenly saw someone.

"TRIGONOMETRY!" he jumped, making me scream.

"GAH! DARN YOU EDWARD! YOU KNOW I HATE THAT TOPIC!"

He bursted into laughter, while I playfully rolled my eyes and decided to have a comeback for him.

"Booo~ those thread and needles are gonna get you~!"

He screamed and glared, "Y-you know how much I hate sewing, s-so stop it!"

We both laughed as we walked home, surprised that he actually just lives from across the street from our house.

"Thanks, I had fun."

"Same." he smiled and nodded, while I did the same, and went in our house.
