LAELIA TOOK ME TO WEALTHY RICHES EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT
I sent Laelia to a taxi. She gave me an address, and told me to gothere tonight. My heart nearly jumped out of my ribs when she saidthat.
"Cometo this place tonight at 8:00." She said. "Dress up."
"What...?Tonight, really?"
"Idon't have any vacant time tomorrow." She replied. "I'll tellyou a secret too."
Thatwas what she told me before she entered the taxi.
"Becareful!" I told her. I looked at the driver and gave him the'scary' look.
"Hey,drive carefully okay? Or else I will take your guts out!"
Helooked terrified. "I'll try sir!"
"Ha-ha.Go on." I patted the hood of the taxi. "I'm just joking."
Thetaxi drove off.
Iwent back to the newly renovated dormitory.
WhenI got there, I saw Dan watching the TV, watching a show from NationalGeographic Wild.Tom was arguing with him to change the channel into something'interesting'.
"Areyou insane?" Tom argued. "How can you stand watching a show likethat?"
"Shutup." Dan retorted. "It's interesting."
"Justswitch it to an animechannel or a movie channel!" Tom ordered. "That would be moreinteresting!"
Danclosed his eyes for a second, as if thinking about something to makeTom leave him alone. He opened his eyes, and he clearly looked likehe's got an idea.
"Tom!"I'll lend you my laptop. You can browse anything you want!"
Tom'seyes widened in delight. "Really?"
"Sure."He replied. "It's in my bag."
Tomscampered like a dog and went away with the laptop excitedly.
Finally,Dan noticed me standing at the door.
"Oh—Hi!Where were you?" He asked.
"Uh—myClub." I answered.
"Oh,there's food in the fridge if you're hungry. We three are alreadydone eating."
"Okay,thanks."
"—wait!Don't drink the juice in the fridge! It's my vitamins!"
"Okay,I won't."
"Goon. Shoo."
Ihad a quick meal of fried chicken, pork chop and barbeque. Afterthat, I grabbed some fresh clothes. I took a quick shower and neatlycombed my hair. I put on a black polo and wore long black pants. Igrabbed my favorite red necktie and placed it around my neck.
"Whereare you headed to?" Clifford asked, after seeing me dressed up.
"Uh..."What should I tell them...?
"Amixer?" I lied.
"What'sa mixer?"
"Asocial gathering."
"Huh?"
"Look,I must hurry. Theymust bewaiting for me already." I told him. "Sorry."
"Oh,it's alright." He replied. "Just come back before nine, or elsethe school gates will close, and you'll have to sleep somewhereoutside the campus."
"I'llclimb the walls if necessary."
"No!"He argued. "The walls are armed with search runes. You'll beburned to death before you enter."
