Dragon Girls: A New World

Chapter 5 (Part 2): I SHALL HAVE NONE OF THIS!!! (Echogreen)

I looked around the courtyard. There were many people. Regular skinned and many colored people to. I sat behind a tree and had just caught the end of the conversation. "... Got here?" There was a positive answer and my eyes widened. Paint! I raced around the tree. "Paintsplash!"

Paintsplash looked up from Toothless's shoulder. Her cheeks, despite being wet with tears, turned bright red as I stared at her and Toothless. "E-Echogreen?"

I nod. "Yeah, it's me. What's--" I was cut off as I saw someone else walk over to our trio.

He was gold colored, with a black diamond on his forehead. His eyes were gold, and his hair was blue. He had a blue swirl on his neck. He was wearing a white shirt, and a brownish pair of shorts with black sneakers. His hair was like Toothless's: longish. Paintsplash allowed Toothless to help her stand up, holding his hand. She eyed the kid approaching them.

"Who is that?" I asked again 

Toothless gestured to the gold kid. "This is my little brother, Diamondspirit," he said.

Diamondspirit frowned. "I'm only two hours younger than you, so shut up."

Toothless grinned. "Yeah, whatever, Golden Joy. You also have like four sisters between you and I."

I tried not to smirk. But really ... "Do y'all act like this all the time?"

Paintsplash giggled, despite the tears running down her cheeks. "Y-yes, Echogreen."

We all stood there in awkward silence for a bit. I broke the silence. "So I learned that I was the daughter of Echolocation." I said this as casually as I could.

Toothless's eyes widened. Paintsplash simply looked thoroughly lost. Diamondspirit eyed me with admiration and what looked like flirtation.

"Sooooooooooooooooooooo," I drew out the word. "Erm ... Who is she, exactly?" 

Toothless stared at me. "She....she was the best headmaster of the academy," he said slowly. "She earned respect from around the world, and literally made history with her magic abilities."

"Wait, what?!" I asked, confused.

"Yes."

"So then that would explain ... Hmmm." I got slightly distracted by Toothless' brother. "So ... Um ... That would explain, never mind." I turned my eyes away sullenly.

Diamondspirit couldn't take his eyes off Echogreen, even when Toothless waved a hand in his face. "Dude, quit staring. Don't you know that's not how to get a girl's admiration?"

I blushed. Admiration?

Diamondspirit gave Toothless a distracted glance. "Huh?" Paintsplash rolled her eyes, her tears dried. Toothless chuckled.

"What?" I had never gotten the attention of any boys before. This was all new to me.

Paintsplash smiled. "Echogreen, I think you have someone who likes you." Diamondspirit turned beet red.

I blushed. This was getting uncomfortable.

Upon seeing me blush, Diamondspirit looked at the ground, turning an even more hilarious shade of red.

There was an awkward silence. Finally Toothless broke in. "So ... I guess this is what love is?" He smirked and pulled Paintsplash closer. I glared at him and Diamonspirit blushed even harder, and Paintsplash did as well. Paintsplash smiled meekly, and Toothless winked at his brother. "We'll let you two get acquainted," he grinned, walking off hand in hand with Paintsplash.
