Castor Academy

Chapter 5: My Tutor is a Bird

Okay, who ratted me out to Mira? Wah, now she's eyeing me 24-7 thanks to you guys! You're so cruel! So don't expect as much wisecracks as before, alright? And again, you guys are evil.

-...-

And also, take a look at the picture for this chapter! *So happy!* It was digitally drawn by a really good friend of mine, and she gave me permission to put it up. Now, on with the show!

Dres groaned and slowly opened his-

Dres' head pounded and he-

Dres shot up out of bed and-

It was completely dark and Dres' head swam-

His whole entire body ached as he-

What the heck happened? Dres thought-

Would this guy make up his darn flippin' mind already?!?!? Give me the computer and let a real professional start this story!

~*~

"Wah!"

Dres shot up out of bed and immediately lost his balance, tipping to the side and getting tangled up in the thin white sheets. He crashed-landed down on the brown earthen-style tiled floor, (ha, ha!) with his brain pounding back and forth in his head.

Well, what do you expect? Dres is a complete klutz after all.

"Ow," Dres muttered.

He groaned in pain and lifted himself up from the cold floor as feet pounded on the tiles.

Ricky came rushing into the room and hysterically yelled, "What happened?!"

Dres rubbed the back of his head. "Um, sorry about that. Just fell, that's all."

"'That's all'?!" He shouted. Ricky sighed. "I give up with you, dude. Now come on. You need to get back in bed."

Ricky slung one of Dres' arms over his shoulder and slowly lifted him up.

Dres cringed slightly as he lay down on the soft mattress. "Ugh, what happened?"

"You fainted," Ricky handed Dres a drink before plunking down on the bed beside his. "You got struck by a bunch of lightning from that Air Castor yesterday and got K.O.-ed because of it. Well that, and also from how many times you got whacked upside the head according to the nurse. Man, what did that guy use you as? A baseball bat for the international league? Because if you knew that you've been out like a stone since yesterday- "

He did a spit-take on Ricky. "Yesterday? I've been asleep for that long?!"

"Whoa, watch where you spray! Aw man!" Ricky shook the water off his arms and wringed out his shirt-which I have to say, gross! "I'm completely drenched! Thanks a lot, Dres!"

"S-sorry about that! It's just that-I'm just really surprised." He sighed and ran a hand through his black and white locks.

"Yeah, I guess so, but it wasn't that long. It was only just yesterday." Ricky poured himself another glass and sipped.

"Oh yeah, one more thing," He placed his cup back on the bedside table and frowned. Ricky's eyes were alight with curiosity as he asked Dres, "Remember the kid we fought the other day?"

The boy slowly nodded. "Yeah, but what's that got to do with anything?"

"Can you give me a run-down of of the kid anyways? You fought him first after all. I just came about ten or fifteen minutes after that."
