Misfits

Chapter 6

Lapis' Pov...

It was starting, I felt it. When I woke up, the sounds of people outside our dorms were too loud.

Indicating that school was starting soon.

I looked at Peridot, she was sound asleep. Her eyebrows creasing everytime she heard something from outside.

She finally woke up with a groan, sitting upright with her hair covering her eyes.

At first, I thought her hair was strange, being too spiky and triangulary.

But come to think of it, it suits her.

She began rubbing her eyes, stretching and giving her final yawn for the day.

"Hey..." She mumbled.

"Hi... Morning sleepy head." I whispered back with a smile.

She gave a weak smile and brushed her hair with her fingers.

I felt tingles, a knot forming in the pit of my stomach.

I looked away from her, maybe spending too much time with her made me feel like this.

As we got ready for the day, I couldn't help but feel something... I couldn't point a finger on it, it's like on the tip of my tongue.

I shrugged the thought away as I finished bathing.

We were going to the Dean's office so that we would know where and which classes we were going to take.

"Hey Peri, my birthday's coming up. What'cha got for me." I grinned at her.

Her face paled.

"Wait, it's almost your birthday? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She grumbled.

I chuckled, she's so cute.

"I'm just kidding. You don't have to get me anything. Just a day with you is fine for me." I said, smiling softly.

My birthday was on June 18th. I wonder when Peridot's birthday is.

I decided not to ask her. We went through the hallways into a dimly lit room.

"Come in." A loud commanding voice bellowed.

Power was felt through his voice and we surged forward. As if our bodies were made to obey his wishes.

As we opened the door to enter the room, we saw a tall man standing infront of a huge window.

His back was facing us. I couldn't smell his scent because it was masked so we didn't know what kind of being we were speaking with. All we know is that he has horns protruding from his head.

"Hello, Future Heiress and Luna, I see that you've made yourself quite comfortable around these parts. May I ask the things that you need?" His voice was low.

"Sir, we are deeply sorry for wasting your time. We just simply need to know what classes we needed to take and I also would like to ask a favor from you." Peridot said with a straight face.

Her voice didn't even waver.

"Ahh, the schedules. I wonder why that damn secretary haven't given them to you. No worries, I'll handle them shortly. Now, what is this... 'favor' that you were asking for?" His head turned, giving us a good view of the side of his face.

He had scales. Sharp bottom teeth. And snake like eyes.

He could be anything. I still couldn't smell him though.

Peridot coughed and it made me look at her. She gave me a look that meant that this conversation was private.

I rolled my eyes and went out of the room. I closed the door behind me and I leaned on the door frame. I sighed, looking around the place.
