Skull and Bones

Chapter 15

I smile with the box in my hands waltzing down the halls.

"Hey guys." I walk up to everyone who was sitting together at lunch.

"I guess you're really happy that you get to leave huh?" Carlos asks petting Dude.

"Of course not! I mean, yeah I want to go home and everything but you all aren't that bad either."

They were terrible.

"Aw thanks. I'll take that as a compliment." Jane says. Her and Carlos were drooling over each other and it was honestly disgusting.

"So. How about you and your pirate boyfriend?" Mal suddenly says. I freeze. How did she know about Harry? And he wasn't my boyfriend.

"You mean Harry? Oh, he's nothing. Just a friend and fellow crew mate." I answer .

"Yeah sure he is."

"You know Mal and Harry actually used to be a thing." Jay tells me .

"Yeah whatever. He hates you."

"Ooh why so defensive? You jealous?" She wiggles her eyebrows. I look down and my face gets warm. I go to the mirror and see my cheeks red. I don't remember putting on makeup. Who wear blush?

"Aw look she's blushing." Carlos pinches my cheeks.

"I swear I didn't even wear makeup other then eyeliner and mascara." I say looking in my camera at myself.

"No." Jay slowly takes my phone out my hand. "We mentioned your boyfriend so you got all flushed about it because you know just true."

"He's not my boyfriend!" I slam my hand on the table. Everyone goes silent. I clear my throat.

"He's- he's not. I don't believe in love. Love is for the weak. And people who are just wanting their happily ever after. I don't need any of that. I need my family and my freedom." I say.

"That's not true. Max-" Mal begins but I hold my hand up.

"Save It princess. I don't want to her your stupid lecture about how love is amazing and you referring to you and your King boy toy." I walk to my dorm and finish packing. I had a lot more outfits. But most of all , I had riches. I had wealth. Well, my crew had it. This was all going to be for us.

I was finally leaving tomorrow. Tomorrow I was going to be reunited with my family.

I smile and do a little happy dance in my room. I was way too excited to leave this place and go back to the dreaded island.

"Knock knock." Mal comes in.

"Oh hey."

"I came to help you pack. We can talk about the isle if you'd like. Well, really I just really want to know whah I've been missing since I've been here." She takes a seat on the couch.

"Hey. How did this get here?" She holds up her spell book.

"Oh! That....um...well you see....this girl names... Scarlett had it and I told her that she shouldn't. She was using to cheat on the homework." I lie. Mal stares at me for a second. She stands stands up with a huff.

"Ugh! Scarlett! Why did she do this. She's done that before!"

"She has? Oh um I mean has she?"

"Yes!" Mal takes the spell book and leaves .

Well there that goes.

I sit up ok my bed and stack all my bags and suitcases beside me. I pet Homer.
