'Yo, Scott, Lewis!'
Urgh. It's her again. Lewis turned around, Scott followed.
The red-headed girl ignored that.
'You guys might get surprised if I tell you this, but my uncle's gonna...' her voice trailed off. Scott and Lewis started walking again, 'Well, we are getting late for the assembly.'
'Hey don't just ignore me like that! Wait up!' she followed them.
'Mind your own business. Quit blabbering all the time! You are really wasting time.', Lewis wanted to say that, but Scott stopped, he whispered, 'Let's hear her out. That's our only possible way out.' But Lewis didn't want to hear her out, the last time, she went on and on about a book she read and how it affected her *aim.
*Alice Pitcher's aim was to be a Rhitirean, the same as Lewis. He avoided making friends with her, because he feared that one day, he will have to kill her. It that ever comes true.
Reluctantly, Lewis nodded. Turning to Alice, he said, 'Okay, what do you want to talk about? Make it quick.' Alice stopped moving, 'Ahem. As I was saying. My uncle is going to Reborg town tomorrow and, guess what? There's gonna be a Rhitirean Dicolite in the Reborg Colosseum, and as a matter of fact, I have two extra tickets... so, if you two want to go there, meet me near the Tralg Tower by 10 in the morning, so-'
'Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.' Scott interrupted, How did she say all that in one breath? 'Hold onto your horses. Why us? I mean, you have so many friends out there who-'
'Don't want to be Deagorans? ', finished Alice, then facing Lewis, 'I am sure you would want to go? Since you are aiming for the Rhitirean position.'
Lewis staggered back, 'Wha- How did you know that I want to be-'
'A Deagoran?', finished Alice (again), 'I heard you talking about it to Scott.', then facing Scott, 'And you want to be a doctor. Come to think of it, I heard there's gonna be a-'
Now it was Scott's turn to stagger back,'What! Just what were you doing eavesdropping on us?'
Alice blushed , 'Well, that's all. So if you want to come, be near Tralg Tower first thing in the morning!' saying that, she flew off.
Astonished, the boys looked at each other. Not saying a word, they continued on their walk to their last academic day's assembly. 'Well, I am not going there. I have no business with Deagorans.' Scott started the conversation, 'What about you? You going?'
Lewis had an urge to say, 'Hell yeah!', but, if Scott didn't go, it would be rather unwise to go there with somebody he barely knew. But, then again, his goal was to be a Rhitirean, and like his grandma, a former retired Rhitirean, used to say, 'Watching Dicolites is a form of Deagoran experience.' Lewis always wanted to watch a Dicolite, but his grandpa always restricted him, 'You can never grow up from watching those barbarians dance.' (Wonder how grandma could become a Deagoran, facing those restrictions that is, he wondered).
So this was like a golden opportunity for him. These thoughts resulted to a long pause.
'Silly me,' Scott interuppted in his thought-train, 'of course you should go. I-', he suddenly stopped, 'Hang on... did Alice say Reborg?'
'Yeah, the Reborg Colosseum.', replied Lewis, hoping that some medical thingy was situated there (Scott was pretty passionate, after all).
'T-Then,', started Scott, 'Then count me in! I mean, not to the Colosseum but I heard the famous Dr. Rickloff is going to come over for a conference in the Sult Auditorium!'
Oh yes! came to Lewis' mind, but he restrained from showing that.
'Boy, you really are mad about that neuro thingy!', he said instead.
Before Scott got the chance to correct him, the bell rang.
'Oh dammit!' Lewis started to run, 'We can't be late today!'
That's how the day began, the new morning showed Lewis' tomorrow, the anticipation of watching a Dicolite for the first time in his life shoved Lewis to look forward to enjoy that day, because the next day was going to be another big one.
The 3rd chapter's gonna be published on the 30th June!
