Their Elemental Curse: Book 1

Chapter 8

*Robin Douglas's POV:

It was October 5th. It had been a week since that incident and I was still shook. We decided not have a sleepover for a while after that.

The sleepover was pretty fun after the incident though, but I was honestly glad it was over.

I might never forget that terrible night, nor will I ever play Truth or Dare with Hikari again. The question she asked Shimizu honestly still makes me blush. I didn't know if I liked Shimizu or not, I just met him a week ago and usually, I don't have crushes.

Me and my friends just got out of school and were ready to start the weekend. Everyone had a good day except for me.

As I was at my locker earlier today, I saw a Muslim girl walk pass me to her locker and these two boys whom were standing in the hallway saw her and started playing "Allah Akbar" and explosion sound effects out loud. They giggled and laughed as they were doing so.

The Muslim girl looked as if she was about to cry.

That's when I had to nip that shit in the bud.

I slammed my locker and stormed over to the two boys.

I snatched the phone out of the boy's hand and slammed it on the ground.

"Play that again and I'll show you an explosion" I threatened them.

One of the boys picked up their phone and both speedily ran away, scared for their lives.

I asked the Muslim girl if she was okay. She said yes then walked away, clearly afraid of me.

I swear, it was like even if I tried to help people it was never enough for them.

After school, we hung out at Shimizu house for a little bit, then decided to go out to get something to eat.

Throughout the week, me, Gaia and Beval had learned a lot about our new friend Shimizu. We even exchanged numbers and social medias.

We learned how his birthday was July 4th, his favorite color was blue, he had a four year old German Sheppard named Tadashi, and that he loved photography and wished to pursue a career in it one day.

We learned how he was kidnapped and experimented on at nine months old. He visits his homeland of Tokyo, Japan every summer for a few weeks, and his Japanese culture and heritage meant a lot to him.

I honestly didn't care for my Scottish heritage like that, but my parents did. It would make since, they spent most of their lives there.

Me, Shimizu and my friends walked around town looking for somewhere to stop and eat, that's when I spotted a pizza spot called "Laguini's" across the street.

"Hey, look over there!" I pointed across the street to the restaurant. "I've never seen this place before, do you guys wanna go check it out?"

"Sure" Gaia said with a shrug. "Let's just hope it's not too expensive"

"Or that their food is terrible", Beval added.

"It shouldn't be, Italian food is always delicious", Shimizu spoke up after being quiet for some time.

"Well, let's go in to find out", I said before opening the restaurant's door.

When we went inside, we were emotionally overwhelmed at how surprisingly beautiful the place was for a pizza spot. Most pizza spots look kind of basic, but not this one. There was a huge chandelier in the very center of the restaurant. The restaurant itself was big, most pizza places are a decent size.

"Table for four" Beval said to the host.

"Alright then, follow me" the waitress said while eyeing us up and down after gathering four menus.
