Chapter 24: Treehouse Quiz Night

Gilbert: slowly tilting his head up at a tree
Ve are going to do zthe quiz up zthere?

Adrain: raising an eyebrow up at Gilbert
Your accent is inconsistent... I'm sure you know how to say 'the' instead like 'zthe'.

Gilbert: shrugging his shoulders
Properly can, but zthe vords just come out... I don't zthink about it zthat much.

Lachlan: claiming up a rope ladder
Yeah, his accent is thinker than it was earlier today.

Reece: climbing up behind Lachlan
Like he said, he doesn't think that much... Explains a fare bit.

Berwald: climbing up behind Reece
... Most likely nerves

Gilbert: pushing Adrain away from the rope and climbing after Berwald
I'm too awesome to be nervous!

Adrain: climbing up last and scoffing
But clearly 'awesome' enough to push someone...

Gilbert pulled himself up into the treehouse and took an overall glance, he turned around and noticed that Adrain was struggling to get up while carrying up Dita.

Gilbert: yanking Adrain up by the collar
Vhy did jou bring zthe swine?

Adrain pouted up at the albino and covered Dita's ears as he walked over towards a beanbag chair and took a seat while pulling out some palm-cards.

Lachlan: whispering to Gilbert and Berwald
It's kinda funny with how attached he has gotten to her; it took Reece, both our parents and me to help convince the kiddo that pigs aren't all that bad. He's kinda a neat freak and used to believe that pigs and Reece are both the major offenders of messes... Though Reece still is.

Reece: snarling back at Lachlan
AM NOT! How many times do I need to tell you that my room is perfectly organised... I'M A CONSTRUCTIVE THINKER, SO MY ROOM IS LIKE THAT TO SUIT MY HIGHER INTELLECTUAL NEEDS!

Gilbert: smirking
Zthat's odd, ____'s dorm is spotless.

Reece: snapping
You've been in her dorm!?! (Pointing at Berwald) Cheap and frustrating to construct furniture! Have you been in ____'s room!?!

Let's think about this for a second... Out of everyone except you, Berwald has spent the most time in your dorm, being that he slept in it once and watched you sleep when you were drunk.... Oh that poor boy's doomed!

Berwald: keeping his answer quick and short
Ja.

Reece lunged at both of the boys with full speed and death bounding in his eyes; Lachlan snatched at his younger brother's shirt and attempted to change the topic.
Don't get me wrong, Lachlan was concerned over you, but he also had the common sense to think of the possible reasons as to why they might have visited your dorm and not jump to outrageous conclusions.

Lachlan: teasing Reece
So your smarter than me, eh?

Reece: tugging himself away from Lachlan
The soccer balls you aimlessly kick around have a higher IQ than you!

Lachlan: smiling
Spell Esquamulose, it means without scales, a smooth skin.

Reece: staring at Lachlan with a blank face
I bet you can't even spell it... I've never even heard of the damn word!

Berwald: budding in
Shouldn't we start the quiz, it's getting late.

Everyone looked out at the entrance and watched as the sun began to sink behind the ocean.

Reece: agreeing
Let's get this over and done with so I can spend time with ____ before she goes to sleep.

Lachlan walked over towards where Adrain was seated and pulled on a line that triggered a small dim light, providing some sort of a source of light. He then chucked over three beanbags to the contestants and pulled one out for himself, sitting beside Adrain who pass him the palm-cards; Adrain was going to keep score along with Dita.

Lachlan: reading the first question
When is ____'s birthday?

Reece: excitedly putting his hand up in the air
(Your birthday)!

Adrain scribbled down a tally mark under Reece's name and Lachlan nodded his head, placing the card behind the stack. Seems like Reece was just getting started, but Gilbert wasn't going to give up too easily, poor Berwald didn't seem too concerned over this silly quiz and would have rather preferred spending time in the house with you and your parents.

...

Berwald: answering
(Favourite song) by (band/singer).

Lachlan: looking at the scoresheet
Correct... That means your all three are tied up and I'm out of questions. (Throwing cards up in the air) Okay, first one to tell me one of ____'s secrets wins!

The three of them all sat there for a second to think of a good secret that wouldn't upset you if they told it out loud. Reece's determination was evident on his face and this only boiled Gilbert's ambition to win... This is then when the albino messed up, all over a stupid competition to see who knows you the best.

Gilbert: rocketing out of his chair and yelling out a secret you told him
____'s vhole torso is permanently disfigured by gory scars from vhen she vas attacked by jour family's two hunting dogs and stretch marks from when she lost weight!

Everyone was shocked and the two eldest brothers both had an odd eye twitch, while Berwald and Adrain just sat there more confused than a kid in math class. Adrain finally broke the silence with laughter.

Adrain: playfully rolling his eyes
We all know she went through major weight changes, all you need to do is look at that photos... Our living room is basically a timeline! But she was never attacked by dogs, we never had hunting dogs and her body isn't 'disfigured by gory scars'... Stop lying. ____ would never keep a secret from me or any of us if it's that serious.

Adrain felt a hand resting on his shoulder and looked up.

Lachlan: looking straight at Gilbert with a look of disgust
Go back down to the house, the quiz is over.

Adrain: confused
No it's not.

Lachlan: yelling at Adrain
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!! GO DOWN NOW BEFORE ____'S WISH IS DESTROYED BECAUSE OF YOUR STUBBORNNESS!!!

This was a very rare moment to see Lachlan losing his cool; Adrain wasn't dumb and picked up on what was happening. Tears streamed down the boy's checks and he raced over to the ladder, not wanting to believe this was true... That his dearly beloved sister was hiding something from him his whole life.

Adrain: mumbling under his breath
It's not true... It's not true... It's not true... IT'S NOT TRUE! I'M GOING TO PROVE IT!

The two brothers picked up their feet and raced over to stop Adrain from doing what they thought he was going to do next. Gilbert and Berwald decided to come stop him too, except Berwald picked up Dita who was forgotten behind and helped bring her down as well.

...

You were peacefully asleep in your bed; you said to the boys that you'd wait for them once they were done hanging out, but you were just too tired and were lulled back to sleep by the comfort of your old bed. The bedroom light flicked on and in came a crying Adrain who was in denial, stomping all over your bed; you woke up with a bounding pain in your leg where Adrain stomped all over it. The boy threw himself to your side and wrapped his arms around you, mumbling things through tears; he sounded possessed.

You: sitting up and worrying while holding him in your embrace
ADRAIN! A-ADRAIN!?! What's going on? Come on, stop those tears and tell me..

His sweet (darker shade colour eyes to yours) eyes were stinging with tears as he looked in your eyes; your heart sank and was completely weak at the look of such despair. Before you managed to say anything he ripped away your blankets and snatched up your shirt, letting out gasps and a sea of tears as he witnessed your gory scars first hand.

Adrain: pointing at your exposed skin
YOU LIED TO ME! YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS! I-I (chocking up on his words) I HATE YOU! WHO ARE YOU IF I CAN'T TRU-- YOU CAN'T TRUST ME!?!

You trusted your brothers with everything... Actually except one thing, but no one on the planet knows that your Little Miss Cyber... That's not important right now. Someone blew your secret and you know exactly who. Your eyes fixed themselves on the open doorway to your room and there stood four very sorry boys; you pulled your shirt from Adrain's grip and rolled it down with tears peaking in your eyes. You calmly got out of your bed, but the moment you left the warmth of your bed you became a fountain of emotions and bolted out the door, punching Gilbert in the gut on the way out and running off into the night. Berwald finally picked up on what exactly all the commotion was all about and flicked Gilbert on the ear; seems like the loud mouthed albino was going to be Mr. Unpopular to night.

==================================================================================

I have just officially unlocked a new level of 'crazy' I believe, not sure if it's obvious in the writing, but just imagine someone trying to write on an iPad while dancing around their room like a nutter listening to a mix of Owl City, The Backstreet boys, Frozen soundtrack remix, some sort of heavy metal and Alexander Rybak.... My sister has a weird playlist. Anyway now imagine that person drinking a bazillion bottles of water and doing all this for a good 2-ish hours while writing this chapter. I have no idea why I was consuming so much water (I wasn't even thirsty), I have no idea why I was listening to my sister's play list, I have no idea why I was trying to type and dance at the same time (XD SOO many hilarious spelling mistakes) and I would 10/10 do that again! It's like my new creative process... Now let's make teachers allow me to do that during test conditions XD
Hi! If you made it this far 😄

Thanks for reading!
