The Lord of the Library

Chapter Five

PJ went to his fifth period, chatting with Gradient. They just came from Magic, and were giggling about the people in that class. PJ sighed, seeing the Theatre in front of them. PJ turned to Gradient and simply nodded. He got the message and began to walk away, leaving PJ all alone. Paperjam sighed and walked in, only hoping for the best. His posture sagged as he saw Fresh, hanging out with Mr. Mettaton on the stage. Many children were on stage, probably the entire class.

"Paperjam, darling! Come, join us!" Mettaton exclaimed, waving PJ over.

"It's just PJ." He corrected, walking to the stage. The stage was a very tall one, an average height male his age would need to work a little to get up, so being so short, PJ would have needed help.

"Do you need some help there, shorty?" Fresh snickered, reaching out for PJ to take his hand. PJ ignored it and climbed on, getting on perfectly fine.

"I don't need your help." PJ sat next to him as there was no where else to sit.

"Let's try some improv!" Mettaton smiled, jumping to his feet. He was short and obviously still trasitioning. PJ liked Mettaton, he had pretty hair and was very talented at acting.

"What themes for today?" PJ smiled. He had always watched the Drama club practicing with Mr. Mettaton. He has always seen him as a female, but was quick to call him 'Mister' when he came out.

"Couples! A lot of plays we have include couples and romance scenes, so we have to see who can or can't work together!" Mettaton smiled. PJ's face seemed to brighten, making Fresh blush at his cuteness.

"Can we play spin the bottle?" KC asked.

"Brilliant idea, Kailynn Carie!" Mettaton exclaimed. KC didn't know what she'd done, but smiled slightly. She was more or less confused. "I shall get us a bottle!" He ran off of the stage, into the props room.

"Spin the bottle?" Fresh looked at KC.

"I was just trynna steal some kisses from that cutie." She replied, pointing at a cute girl with short red hair and yellow eyes, who was chatting with another pretty girl with dark skin and a half shaved head of lavender hair.

"Which one?" Fresh asked.

"Why not both?~ I'm sure they'd be fine with a little threesome~" KC smirked, winking. Fresh rolled his eyes.

Mettaton ran in, holding an empty glass bottle. He jumped onto stage and set the bottle on the ground.

"Who wants to go first?" The teacher asked. KC stepped up, interested in who she'd get to act with. It landed on the pretty girl, who looked at her with confused blue eyes. She walked over to KC, trying to start. They had to act like a couple, right?

"Hi, sweetie." The girl smiled talking sweetly. KC quickly slammed her hands to the sides of the girl's head.

"Hey hot stuff~" KC winked, making the girl's dark face turn a bright red.

"I'm looking for fluff, not sex, girls. KC, stop pinning Fran to the wall,  Fran, feel free to push KC away." Mettaton sighed. Fran teleported back into the circle, basically rejecting KC.

"I'll go next!" Sprinkles stepped up. He spun the bottle and it landed on Crescent. Crescent was highly uncomfortable, seeing as he had someone in his eyes, but he couldn't just tell them that! 

Sprinkles and Crescent looked each other in the eyes, trying to read each other. Crescent could easily put who Sprinkles was, and he was ready to start.

"Hi." Crescent forced a sweet voice on, getting into character.

"Look, Cres, I wanna be just cousins." Sprinkles wrapped his arm around Crescent's shoulders. He was surprised, his eyes widening.
