Charlotte is still thinking about what happened yesterday night, while sitting at her desk:
She realizes why Brightman has so many problems with Nightknight’s magic; hearing about how he walked down a wrong hall in his house and disappeared into the future.
One hundred years into the future, while he was ten years old and he was stuck there for a year; before he sensed the path back in time and opened a door back to his home.
Such a childhood sounds horrifying, not even being able to walk around your home without accidentally ending up in another world or time.
For Nightknight that was normal, so he accepted having wrong memories about the “mouth of the world ender”, as those sort of things happened all the time to him before.
She now understands how confusing or cryptic Nightknight can be about what he “knows”, as reality has always been weird like this for him.
While sitting and thinking while sitting at her desk, Stacy walks up to inform her about the plans for the Halloween party that is in ten-ish days.
(Stacy:)”We are currently thinking about having it at Crimson-Cloud hotel, because we have Markus Crimson in the other class and his father is in charge of the hotel”
Charlotte feels odd about having the party right below where she deactivated a doomsday device and talked with Brightman and Nightknight.
(Charlotte:)”Why are you bringing this up to me? I am not in charge of planning this event.” She says with a confused expression.
(Stacy:)”Was just asking if it was fine, or if you wanted to have it somewhere else; not many can say they have a better place than you.”
(Charlotte:)”Yes, I am fine with it.” (Stacy:)”Good, then we will try to make a reservation at the hotel for the party.
Oh, and we will be having costumes on obviously. And there might be a costume contest, not too sure about that one yet, will update you on what happens.”
(Charlotte:)”You’re acting like I am in charge.” (Stacy:)”No, you are just the least likely to show up, but also the richest and maybe most important person there.
Just making sure you don’t waste your youth, you need to interact more with others; not like I am telling you to stop being around Chad and David, but you should also play with others.”
Halfway through, Charlotte’s eyes focus, glaring at Stacy and she quickly excuses herself and tries to not step on Charlotte’s relationship with Chad and David.
A landmine that Stacy does not want to step on, Charlotte’s bottom line. Do not antagonize Charlotte about Chad or David and also do not antagonize Chad or David either.
(Stacy:)”If everything is OK, then I hope you, Chad and David show up for the party.” She quickly says before escaping, not wanting to face Charlotte right now.
Chad and David walks up to Charlotte. (David:)”What was that about?”
(Charlotte:)”Updates on the Halloween party and she is worried about whether or not we will cause trouble for some douchebags.”
(Chad:)”Why would she need to worry about that? She is not going to get punched, probably.”
(David:)”You guys make it seem like it is obvious that trouble will happen on Halloween.”
Charlotte and Chad shares a look. (Chad:)”You think too well of people and we know they suck.”
(Charlotte:)”Yeah, it is obvious some people can’t keep “it” in their pants; they are going to show off and bully people to seem powerful.
And Stacy is probably never getting punched by us, but she worries about me and you guys causing trouble for those douchebags; not like she cares about what we do with them.
But more like; she is one of the organizers for the event and she will feel bad if we cause trouble during the event that she set up.”
(David:)”Understood and I don’t think too well of others, I just know people could do better; though whether they choose to do better or not is their own choice.”
Charlotte and Chad stares at David, who is trying to pretend to not care as much about people as much as he does.
(Charlotte:)”Anyways, Chad did you go on that date with Chloe?”
(Chad:)”Yes.” and then nothing… Charlotte and David stare at Chad expecting something more, some bragging maybe?
Charlotte and David look at each other, then back to Chad. (Charlotte:)”Did it not go well?” Chad seems confused by the question.
(Chad:)”It was great. Why would it not be?” Charlotte and Chad lock eyes with each other, staring and David is puzzled by what is going on with Chad.
Why does Chad feel more distant lately? David used to feel like he knew everything about Chad, but he has not felt that lately.
(Charlotte:)”Chad, you are being weird.” (Chad:)”Well, I would tell you more about what happened if I felt it was right to do so.”
He says very sure of himself. (David:)”That makes it sound even more suspicious, what can possibly not be said between us?”
Charlotte nods agreeing to David’s words. (Chad:)”I would have to ask Chloe first.”
Charlotte and David stare with eyes and mouths wide open in shock at Chad, who seems domesticated?
Or at least that is what they feel like he is, did Chad get a girlfriend?
