Death's Double Trio

Chapter 17

Sapphire’s Perspective

        “Time to get up girls!” I yell from the kitchen. They all come sit down at the table.
        “Why are we up so early?!” Lucy complains.
        “Because, my dear anger, today I am making each of your favorite breakfasts, or a breakfast of your choice!”
        “You're awfully chipper this morning.” Leslie mentions.
        “Well it is our birthday girls.”
        “What?!” They all yell.
        “Yep, so you better order fast. I've got seven meals to make this morning and we've all got to get dressed for school, so we're eating when we get there.” They all groan.
        “Birthday and school do not mix!” Peryn yells out. They all make their orders and I make Caroline's favorite breakfast when it's all done. I put Coleen's, Caroline's, and my own breakfast into lunch boxes and go get dressed myself. By the time I'm done, Peryn, Leslie, Lucy, and Morrigan have all eaten. They join back up with Coleen and I, and we grab the lunch boxes heading to the school.
        Once we get to the school we spot Caroline and Masky.
        “Good morning.” Coleen and I say to them both.
        “Happy birthday!” Caroline, Coleen, and I say to each other. I hand Kara her breakfast.
        “You didn't order last night so I made you your favorite, blueberry waffles with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. All from Toby's special recipe. Sorry I didn't make anything for you Tim, I wasn't expecting you to be here today. Where are the others?”
        “You can drop the act. They're at home, working on other cases.”
        “Why are you here then?”
        “Slender wants you to trust us, but by us, I'm pretty sure he meant him.” He shrugs. I sigh.
        “I still have to call you Tim don't I?”
        “Call me what you like. In truth, I've gotten used to you calling me Timothy. They've still gotta call me Tim though.” He answers.
        “Blue's got a boyfriend! Blue's got a boyfriend!” The girls sing.
        “Shut up guys.” Tim says. The girls look at each other.
        “Tim’s got a girlfriend! Tim’s got a girlfriend!” I sigh and shake my head.
        “Let's go eat breakfast.” I tell them.
        “Yaaay!” They yell together and run off to the cafeteria. I shake head and laugh.
        “I swear they're a couple of kids.” Tim and I start following them.
        “I expected him to send Jeff or Toby. Why'd he send you? No offense to you, I mean…”
        “No no, it's no problem. Jeff said pretty much the same thing. He sent me because I know who you are.” I stay quiet for a little while.
        “In truth, I've gotten used to you calling me Sapphire. Everyone here calls me Blue, S, or Bee.”
        “Like the bug? Why?”
        “They say it's because I'm cute but I pack a mean punch.” We walk to our table in the cafeteria. Coleen and Kara were already halfway through their breakfast. I look at Tim.
        “You already eat this morning?” I ask. He hesitates for a second then nods.
        “You don't lie very well do you?” I ask as I take out a second plate and put half of my breakfast on it, passing it to him. He looks at me questioningly.
        “What's this?”
        “Chocolate croissants. They're good, try one.” I turn to the other two who are staring at me. They look at each other.
        “Blue, sharing her chocolate croissants?” Coleen asks no one.
        “Who are you and what have you done with Sapphire Etts?” Caroline points at me accusingly.
        “I take it you don't share very often.” Tim states.
        “No way! I share all the time!” I say.
        “Unless it's a chocolate croissant.” Coleen mentions. I glare in her direction. She holds up her hands in surrender.
        “You haven't eaten yet and you've never had one before. Just try one.” We all go back to our breakfasts and he tries a small bit of one. I look at him like he's nuts.
        “What?” I just shake my head and take it from his hand, tearing a larger piece off and making sure there was chocolate on it.
        “Idiot. Open up Tim.” He shakes his head.
        “Why not?”
        “I'll take a bite on one condition.” I sigh.
        “What's the condition?”
        “I want you to say my name.”
        “Which one? Masky or Tim?”
        “Your version of Tim.”
        “Oh? Fine. Open up Timothy.” He opens his mouth and I pop the piece in. He eats it and smiles. I smile back at him. I see a flash in the corner of my eyes. I turn and growl at Caroline.
        “Sorry. I needed to convince myself that Masky here actually ate something new and then smiled.” I look up at Tim.
        “Guess I'm not the only one trying something new.” We finish our breakfast and head to class. As it turns out, Tim is also the only creepypasta who has the same schedule as us. By lunchtime, he was invited to our Halloween party by Coleen.
