Boy with the Blonde Hair

Callisto's POV

I was definitely upset with Adrianus. Why does he need to be so argumentative all the time?!
I wasn't going to let that get the better of this amazing trip... so i made my way down to breakfast, and everyone turned to look at me.
I was used to people staring at me, so i just ignored it and made my way to the table where my other friends were waiting, including the arguing Barbie doll.

"Hey, um, Cal?" Caleb stuttered, "Adrianus will be coming with us. For the reminder of the journey. How do you feel?"

If I reacted with my heart, I would've spat out my coffee then and there. Since I'm not so crude, I merely nodded.
I mean, a test of intelligence is to adapt to the surroundings, even if they involve annoying blonds, who think they're better than everyone else. Right? Right!

"Callisto, are you sure? I havent seen you loose your cool since that incident with the Rubidium...", Haruto began until I cut him off.

"We dont ever speak of that.", I stated calmly, as the boy~Adrianus included~flinched.
"Besides, its not my fault that someone finally stands up to him, I'll be happy to put him in his place. Someone has to, right?"
"Thanks for speaking of me as if I'm not here.", Adrianus huffed.
"Sorry, did you all hear something? Must be a ghost... oh wait a second! I don't believe in paranormal phenomena." I asked innocently.
The girls giggled at my ridiculous statement.
"And she's back, no need to worry.", Airi laughed.
"Just try not to be annoying?" I asked calmly.
"Alright, I'll try", Adrianus smiled weakly.
"Hey! Stop flirting with ,my little girl!" Caleb yelled.
"She's anything but little! Isn't she like in her early thirties?" Adrianus asked.
"I'm 26, you son of a..." i started.
"Language Cal", Ritza said, amused.
All of us ate our breakfast.
"So where to next?" Adrianus inquired.
"We're going Amsterdam.", Aurora smirked, "And Cal is finally going to loosen up a bit."
"For the last time, I'm not going to smoke weed, or consume anything with weed in it. I dont want or need schizophrenia, thanks." I said sarcastically.

The girls giggled.
"No Cal, we want you to loosen up, and break down your walls for a bit, you know?", Aurora smirked.
"No?" I asked, suddenly feeling nervous.
"In other words, they want you to appreciate and utilise the facilities of the Red Light District.", Ritza giggled.
Adrianus smirked. "Even I got that."
"Oh shut up, I'm innocent!" I yelled playfully. "Now lets get going, or else we will never make it by sunset."
