Chapter Eighteen

What’s suffered most in this process is my school work. Soon I’m buried in messages on late projects, unfinished work, and approaching tests. For two days straight I’ve dug into the work I’d been assigned, even now it is just starting to get dark out. “Belle, isn’t it your job to help me with this?”

She laughs in a musical and amused laugh at my frustrations. “You’re smart. You’ll figure it out. Not like you need any of this anyway, I’ve seen your AMU ranks. Graduate students would even dream of getting ratings like those. Do you need the degree for a different career?”

“Well, no.”

“Then as your education advisor, I’m here to tell you that you technically don’t need to do any of this.”

Pride. The fact that I am paying money for this. It’s the only reason I bought Belle in the first place. Mostly it’s a welcome distraction from my other problems. Lily went from amused to worried about me and worked alongside Tess to make sure I’m eating right and exercising. Now she is as concerned as I am, once she grasped the problem and agreed with me. Most experts will think I’m crazy, and if I do convince them, they’ll hit some kind of panic button. Before I decide what to do, I need more research.

A crash breaks me out of my thoughts. “Vily!” Dimi declares from his side of the room. My girlfriend is standing in the doorway to my dorm that she’d just slammed open. Did I forget a meetup? Belle should have reminded me if anything was planned.

She points at me. “You and me we’re going on a date. All this work and no fun, is wearing you out.” I could point out it’s my lack of school work that has gotten me in this situation, but I know that isn’t what she is talking about.

Dimi pulls me out of my bed and shoves me in Lily’s direction. “Vou don’t keep a lady vaiting!”

Lily grabs me and pulls me the rest of the way out of my room. I’m not dressed. Shirtless, in purple boxers patterned with wands that have stars at the tips. Belle manages to slip out with me, a flying book at my side. Tess is with Lily, acting like her purse, while Booker in his red fox form sits on her shoulders. Even with my current UI conundrum, having their familiar forms nearby help me not feel completely naked. Also, always expect the unexpected. “Whats…”

“As I said, you need some fun.” Lily starts pulling me out of the dorm while ignoring my lack of appropriateness.

“But…”

“One more day of school work won’t make you any more ready for your tests than you are now. From what I understand about the other problem, is that as scary as it is conceptually, the issue has been around since at least before we were both born, and isn’t going anywhere. So I refuse to worry about it for at least a day.”

“Clothes…”

“I think you look perfectly handsome the way you are.
