Triplets (girlxgirl)

29- Double Date

Three weeks had past and so did Christmas and New Year. It was our first day back from our long holiday and the students were bombed. Red, Lena, Jessica, Jimmy and I were sitting in the greenhouse. It was huge building and the plants, flowers and trees covered all the space. There were some tables and chairs to drink but it was forbidden to eat anything to protect the environment. The plants were protected from the cold and could grow peacefully. Bugs, like butterflies, found refuge in the building. There were many fruits harvested for the students to eat because they do not grow in our regions.

“Let’s go on a triple date tonight” Lena suggested.

“I can’t, sorry” Jess said sadly “It’s the full moon and Ren invited me to run with the pack for the first time. I’ll get to properly meet his family”

“That’s so cool. You’ll get to howl at the moon with your mate, so romantic.” We laughed at Lena’s exaggeration. “Have fun, we’ll just go on a double date today and the next time you guys will come” Jess nodded her head but it was clear she wanted to come.

Our double date started with a nice super at a more or less expensive restaurant. Lena and I paid the bills much to Red’s refusal. We were enjoying ourselves in a human city. Humans have better technology and the food is not as complicated as in a hidden city. For humans, meat is meat but for creatures it can mean basilisks, unicorns, minotaurs, griffins and many, many more. Every time we go in a mystical restaurant we try something new and it is either delicious or revolting.   

We then went to see a movie at the cinema. I enjoyed the movie while Jimmy looked bored and the other two were making out. Red and Lena had been friends with benefits for some time. I was glad because I never saw Red this relaxed and happy since I met her. Lena was very patient and helped her as much as she could. Jimmy and I were not the type of couple to hold hands and cuddle. Being in each other’s presence was enough for the both of us and besides, we had our fair share of touching and fun.

Red had left Jimhaya in my care more than once and it took me by surprise. Taking care of someone is different than going out with them but it made me understand Jimmy more and I was grateful. Sometimes, Jimmy would do something totally random and I had to calm her down like one time, she broke her glass and punctured her hand with it. I had to take the four inch glass out because she was staring at it in wonder. She told me she was arguing with her alter ego and one of them decided to hurt the other. That was the worst episode I witnessed so far.

After the movie, we decided to go into the city of Annwn. The landscape and buildings were much nicer than in any human city. Everything was lit up at night and we had no trouble seeing. The street lights floated around like mini suns. The buildings were all sorts of colour and in different dimensions. The rocky roads guided us through the city which was still alive considering the night creatures had woken up. We stopped at a pastry store and bought chocolate. Lena accidently bumped into someone on the way out and excused herself.

 There were posters of the Dragons, our flag team. The season had started and the game was more worshipped than football for the Americans or hockey for the Canadians. We found Boris and Kasumi’s posters, tall and proud in their flag uniforms. This was going to be a tough year for them because of new players from other teams that are slowly rising in the ranks. We debated on who was going to win this year’s cup.

“Let’s go there” Lena pointed to an abandon old house. We were now on the outside of the city where it was less populated and quieter. The house was one of those old Victorian houses that nobody bothered to live in. It didn’t look haunted or anything, just very old.

“I don’t know Lena, it looks dangerous” Red said in worry.

“Come on, it will be great” she said as she started to walk again. We all looked at each other before shrugging and following our crazy friend. We entered the house and looked around. Everything was dusty, old and covered with spider web. But, something felt wrong.
