Chapter 16 - Polaris
We hid our laughter as the janitor walked down the corridor the very next morning, completely turned red.
Amy Angel
The lifespan of a red blood cell is 120 days. Guess that he's going to be a tomato for that long!
Benjamin Snowden
Oh, that was so funny!
Benjamin Snowden
You're right, we should totally make a gang or whatever you called it.
Cal Bentley
I won't do it.
Then, I turned towards him, looking heartbroken.
Tears slowly welled up in my eyes as both of them started to panic.
Benjamin Snowden
N-No! Don't cry, it's okay!
Cal Bentley
Fine! Fine, I'll do it!
Suddenly, my tears disappeared.
Benjamin Snowden
Hold on weren't you-
Cal Bentley
You little devil!
He chuckled as he ruffled my hair playfully, making me grin.
Amy Angel
You agreed, so you can't go back now!
Amy Angel
But we can't talk about it here... we need a quiet spot.
Cal Bentley
I could help with that, I guess.
Taking out his portakey, he then swiped against the wall, creating a door.
Benjamin Snowden
Hold on, is that one of the sacred relics, the portakey of the three sceptres?
Cal Bentley
Come on, let's waste no time.
As we jumped into Cal's portakey hub, I smiled as I looked up at the stars.
Amy Angel
They are as beautiful as I remembered them to be. Now that we are in private, it's time to think up of a name and nicknames!
Benjamin Snowden
Obviously we need nicknames! Mine will be Benny.
Amy Angel
No, not nicknames like that. Nicknames that others can't find out.
Amy Angel
I think we should take up animal names.
Cal Bentley
What do you mean?
Benjamin Snowden
We study human animals in biolab. I know most of them.
Amy Angel
It needs to be characteristic of yourself.
Amy Angel
For example, someone brave would choose to be named after a lion.
Benjamin Snowden
I get it... well, let me think...
Benjamin Snowden
Argh! I've got nothing!
Cal Bentley
Why don't you give us a nickname and we'll determine if we like it or not.
Amy Angel
Hm... let's see.
Amy Angel
Cal could be "Cobra". It's the king of all snakes and its poison is lethal to any human who dares approach it!
Benjamin Snowden
Oh, I get it! I'll be "Beaver". Because I'm resourceful, get it?
Amy Angel
That's a good one!
Cal Bentley
What about you?
Benjamin Snowden
It should start with an A...
Benjamin Snowden
No, don't you see how delicate Amy looks? No... it would need to be characteristic of her.
Benjamin Snowden
Let me think... come on, think!
It took me a moment before I smiled.
Amy Angel
It's a beautiful black and white bird who can fly for miles without resting. It's the greatest travelling bird.
Cal Bentley
Then, that fits you perfectly.
Benjamin Snowden
What about our gang name. It's got to be something cool, like Pranksters or Devil Pixies!
Cal Bentley
Gosh, don't leave the name giving up to him, please.
I pondered until I looked up and smiled.
Cal Bentley
What's that mean?
Amy Angel
In the human realm, there is one star that shines brighter than the rest. And no matter where you are, if you know where it is, you can find your way home. It leads you North... always.
As I finished that sentence, it suddenly reminded everyone that I needed to go back home.
Amy Angel
But our home in this instance would be each other. Entering a gang, you swear an oath that makes us closer than family.
I'm just spouting my childhood fantasy on two guys who I've barely known for a few days.
Yet they are all going along with it.
And just like that, we formed a pact. To become family.
