Chapter Four
Everyone was back to their own seats and so was I. Ashley walked in and went directly to my side. Out from my peripheral vision, I could see some kind of animal walking behind her. But, maybe it’s just my imagination. Like all of these, for example.
“Whatever it is, I’d like to introduce you to our class pet.” She said as she sat on my desk.
“We have a class pet?” The animal beside her finally came into view. It was a dog. A creepy dog. A freaking creepy dog. A freaking creepy Siberian husky dog. A freaking creepy Siberian husky dog who is smiling, like literally smiling at me. Its mouth was formed into an eerie curve which can be called as a smile. A very weird smile.
“Yeah, idiot. We do. Ashton and I were the ones who took it in. Anyways…” She paused as she patted her lap to signal the dog to sit there which, it practically just did, “This here is Smile. Say ‘hello’, Smile.” She held up the dog’s paw and waved it at me. The creepy smile was still there.
“It’s a dog…” I finally spoke out after a while.
“Yeah, it is.” She rolled her eyes at me. Smile sat comfortably on her lap and she scratched its ear along.
“Shouldn’t it be a cat?” My eyes turned to her. She looked at me with a confused expression, urging me to continue my statement so I did, “Witches and wizards are closer to the feline family, right?”
“What are you talking about?” Ashton finally joined our conversation. He also had that confused look on his face, making him look so much like Ashley. Well, what do you expect? They ARE twins.
“I learned it from Google.” My shoulders shrugged lazily. Don’t ask me why I was searching about witches and wizards in Google. Just don’t. It was JK Rowling’s fault! Harry Potter was a trend back then…
“Dude, you’re sick.” He spat out repulsively, “You should stop hanging out with that guy. His name sucks as well.”
“What?” He actually thinks ‘Google’ is a person. Wait… do they have any knowledge on the internet? Don’t tell me they don’t know Facebook… or even Myspace… Twitter? I don’t think so.
“I can’t believe people are spreading lies about us, bro.” Ashley said sadly. She patted Smile’s butt lightly to tell him to move out. Smile followed and I watched him strut out of the room, his creepy smile never leaving his face.
“Same here.” Ashton agreed with the same tone of sadness. Or if not, even more.
“So it’s not true?” I asked them. They both spun their heads at me and I saw their eyes turn from blue to white for a second and then blue again.
“Of course not.” They snapped out at me at the same time.
“I see. Same goes for cauldrons and flying brooms?” My voice was soft, hoping not to insult them more than I already had. Their jaws dropped after I let the words out. Oops… Guess I’m wrong again…
“Hell no!” They both spat out. After the words were out, a great red cloud of smoke appeared in front of me and Hell’s head puffed out.
“Yeah? You called?”
Suddenly, we heard some crows caw outside. I looked out to search for any of the black birds but found none. Jake suddenly tugged my side and I turned at him,
“It means classes are going to start.”
“What?” I simply let out.
“The crows’ caws are like the school bell in here. We can’t use the school bell right now. It can cause quite a stir outside.” He explained with a smile. I see. So it’s our own school bell then. That’s creative.
