Fear Me P.JM

Chapter Forty Nine: "10 days to be normal"

I walk out my music class before suddenly stopping. Jimin is leaning against the wall. The moment I step out he looks up expectantly. I stare at him for a few moments...Then turn around and step back inside the music room. Is Jimin waiting for me? After school?

"Somebody slap me..." I say without thinking.

"OKAY."

I look up and Python is standing above me with her arm I know it, her huge hand is flying at me.

"I WAS JUST KIDDING!" I scream and duck.

"Oh."

Python lifts her hand and I turn around to see a music stand with a dent in its center now.

"I thought you were serious," Python says. "Sorry."

What do you eat, woman!?

"Hey, are you ready for your training?" Python asks, suddenly serious.

"Just give me one second," I say holding a finger up.

Python nods and crosses her arms. I walk outside and this time Jimin looks angry.

"What was that?" he says.

"You waited for me!" I say before I can even stop myself.

Jimin takes a step back. "Yeah, so?"

I put my hand to my mouth snickering. Man. I hate high school girls who do this. And now I'm one of them.

"KITO."

Okay, the laughter is gone. I turn around and Python is standing there with her arms still crossed. Her crew stands behind her pointing at their wrists.

"Are they still after you?" Jimin says.

"Hi Jimin!" Python says with a wave.

Jimin raises an arm. "Ah, hey there."

I shake my head. "No. They're going to help me train!"

Jimin's eyebrows rise. "Train for what?"

"For the beautiful men."

"So you can speak to them face to face?"

I nod.

"You do know the gala is in ten days, right?" Jimin says.

"I know."

"I don't know about thi-"

"OKAY, TIME'S UP!" Python growls and I feel her grab me round the neck. "We'll take good care of her," she says.

I look up at the giant. She's smiling in a freaky jack-o-lantern sort of way. I wave goodbye to Jimin and he turns around and walks away. Python spins me around.

"OKAY, WE'VE GOT TEN DAYS TO MAKE YOU NORMAL!" Python shouts.

"Hey!" I yell. "I'm norm-"

"NO QUESTIONS! JUST ANSWERS!" she growls.

I shut my mouth.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PUKE! YOU'RE GOING TO SWEAT! YOU'RE GOING TO WISH YOU'VE NEVER BEEN BORN!"

I raise a faint finger.

"WE'RE GOING TO PUSH YOU TO THE LIMIT! AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU'LL PASS OUT, WE'LL PUSH YOU MORE!"

"Um guys..."

All the she-men lean in. "WHAT!" they yell.

I point straight. Python and her crew turn around.

A mother stands there with a girl around the age of six or seven. She's holding onto a Barbie doll. They both look dumbstruck. Suddenly, the girl chucks her Barbie doll.

"YEAHHH!" she squeals. She turns to her mom. "I want to go to this school when I grow up!"

The mother grabs her daughter's hand and picks up the doll.

"We're leaving right now. Tell your brother he's transferring out of this school..."

"Mommy!"

"Right now!"

Python and her crew turn back around, not speaking for a second.

I shuffle my feet.

Finally, Python clears her throat.

"We're going somewhere else."

Good idea. I follow them down the hall.

"We've got ten days, right?" Python says.

I nod.
