Chapter 7 - Terrible Teasing
Amy Angel
What about this word? I'm unsure of its meaning.
It's been a while day since Cal has decided to keep me company.
I thought that he wouldn’t come back after yesterday but he did. This time, he came accompanied with what looked like a puzzle cube.
Not a rubix cube but he was twisting and pressing things on it.
He glanced over at my book, which I turned around and pointed to the word in question.
Cal Bentley
Kingdom of Ashedrazletoff. But we know it as the Kingdom of Ash.
Cal Bentley
It’s the place that you go after attending this school. Either you go into a desk job or you get invested in politics.
I feel like I want to get to know him getter. Ever since he told me his name on the way out of the room, I’ve been dying to use it.
Amy Angel
Is that something you'd like to do, Cal? Politician or a desk job?
He shook his head and then showed me his ring.
Since I’m of nobility, I get to choose whatever I please. As long as I honour the family name, my parents will allow me back and I’ll be able to become the head of the household.
So he’s Devil nobility... that explains the fancy airs and the expensive-looking accessories that he wears. But something intrigues me then...
Amy Angel
So why are you hanging out with a human like me?
He couldn’t seem to answer that question. Suddenly, the library doors swung open and the extravagant four barged in unannounced.
Rhys Covey
There you are, Cal. You’ve missed all of your afternoon classes.
Percy Steele
And you've angered Mr Barbary. Again.
The blue and white haired boy then saw me in the corner and smirked. He slowly walked towards me and took my hand from my book, kissing the back of it.
Caspian Elysse
I don’t believe that we’ve met. I’m Caspian Elysse, sole heir to the Elysse house and of noble birth.
He seems like an average human playboy to me. His presence slightly irritated me for some reason.
Caspian Elysse
The name Amy suits a beauty like you quite well.
Rhys Covey
Stop trying to seduce the human. She's too much of an easy target.
That's pretty condescending...
Arthur Glass
Cal, we're going to the Spicy Brew. Care to join...
That guy... seems like he needs a lot of caffeine and a week-long session of therapy for insomnia.
His eyes then fell on me and he approached me. I didn’t flinch or shudder but he weirdly sniffed at me like a bloodhound.
Arthur Glass
You don't smell delicious anymore. Boo.
He then turned around to leave. Cal got up and went to leave with them, only to slam the door in their faces once they were all out.
Seems like he doesn't like to be bothered.
Amy Angel
If I'm bothering you, I can go back to my room.
Cal Bentley
No. Stay. You're the only one who can keep me company without being annoying.
Should I take that as a compliment? Seems like he likes to be left alone.
He’s terribly cold and bad tempered but I don’t think that he’s a bad guy. After all, he saved me from a nasty fall.
Seems like I’ve made my first friend in the Devil realm. And I’m glad that it’s someone like Cal.
