Chapter 29: Simba, I thought Hakuna Matata is important?
"Okay, enough of this nonsense, you guys can go to the caf- wait, where's Xander?" Leon asked.
I shrugged while Oliver avoided eye contact with Leon and Olivine whistled innocently.
"What did you do?" Leon asked, his eyes fixed on me.
"Why are you asking me? I told you we got into a fight! Look at the twins who are acting suspicious, not me!" I exclaimed.
Leon raised his eyebrows, "Okay, E-"
"Shh, Leon. Don't say my last name or I'll kill you with Cuppycake." I warned him.
"Why do you treat that gun as if it's made by the gods or something?" Olivine asked.
"Because it's her first gun she ever chewed on." Leon replied for me.
"Chewed on...?" Oliver asked, tilting his head to the side.
I giggled, "Yup. I chew on my guns handle because I use poison as toothpaste."
"She's lying," Leon rolled his eyes. "When she first joined, she had that gun. She told me she had it since she was a little kid."
"Since when, exactly?" Olivine asked in disbelief.
"Uhm... I think it was around the time when I was one year old, at least that's what my-" I gritted my teeth, mumbling those words that only I can hear, "-they also told me I found it in the woods with my brother."
"You have a brother?" Oliver asked.
"Had." I corrected him, "That guy is nothing but thin air to me now."
"If you don't mind me asking-"
"I actually do." I said sweetly, then bitterly said, "So shut up."
Before Leon could scold me, someone knocked on the door.
Olivine, the closest to the door, opened it.
Let's all guess jeans who our visitor is.
Sorry, I just had to.
And Xander was wearing guess jeans.
The End.
Well, for me, when Xander flashed a sweet smile my way.
My blank expression changed to a smile.
"Well, you're twenty minutes-"
"Twenty-one minutes late." Xander corrected Leon.
Oliver glared at him while Xander just gave a shurg.
Yeah, a shurg. Not a shrug.
I have invented a new word.
A shurg is something that a person does when they raise one shoulder first before other.
"Anyways, you'll be working with Olivine," Leon motioned his head in Olivine's direction.
"Hi, pleasure to meet you." Xander said and gave a charming smile, "I'm Xander."
Olivine shook her head, as if she just envisioned something unrealistic.
Like how you can never admit your feelings to Xander...
Uh, I know you're my brain and all, but what are you talking about? Are you crazy?
No, you are.
I giggled uncontrollably, making everyone, including Simba, looked at me.
"What? And is that Simba over there? Come here boy!" I exclaimed, clapping my hands.
He yawned and went over to Xander.
I've been there.
Before I could warn Xander, Simba already marked his territory on his Jordans.
Let's repeat the last three words.
On his Jordans.
Again, emphasizing the last word.
On his Jordans.
"Simba!" Leon exclaimed, cradling him in his arms.
If lions can stick out their tongue like a kid(did you expect me to say cat? No? Okay), Simba would've done it already.
"Did he just... ugh, these are my favorite pair. Gah." Xander ran his hand through his hair.
His soft, brown hai-
SNAP OUT OF IT DAYANA!
As on cue, I felt a shiver up my spine. Thank the hea-
-vens? That's what Dayana was gonna say, right?
What trouble did she cause while I was gone?
I looked around to see a lion in Leon's arms, Olivine staring at Xander with love eyes, Oliver rolling on the floor while laughing, and Xander taking off his shoes.
"Uhm... What's happening?" I asked them.
They all looked at me, and, as if understanding me, the lion did too.
"Let me guess-"
"You changed personalities." All of them in the room said simultaneously, and if lions could talk, it would've probably said the same thing.
"Yes. Now why does that lion look like it wanna kills me?" I ask.
"He... doesn't like you." Leon admitted, putting the lion down.
It growled at me.
"It just growled at me." I squeaked.
Oh, I bet Dayana would've laughed at it if she was in my shoes right now.
The lion did a lion battle stance position- I think Dayana already told you she's not good at explaing? Me too.
"It's getting ready to pounce on me." I squeaked again.
"If it did, I'd be here to protect you." Oliver said and sheepishly smiled with a blush.
I blushed too, "Thanks, but I'm not Dayana. You should be saying that to he-"
"Dayana or Ana, you're a part of her. And I love everything about Dayana." He replied.
Wet Jordans suddenly hit the back of his head.
Oliver yelped in surprise, "What the heck, Xander?!"
"I was aiming for Simba." Xander said innocently and gave a sweet smile, "Sorry about that."
"Jeez." Oliver muttered under his breath.
Leon coughed, "Xander, you can borrow my shoes. They're in the next room after the other room."
-
I didn't know what made me do it, I just threw it at him.
What was I thinking? Ana probably thinks I'm a jerk, and if a part of Dayana thinks so, I might not live with myself anymore.
Earth, open up and swallow me while I list down the embarrassing things I did my whole life.
I found the room that Leon was talking about and I picked up a pair of Nike shoes.
Perfect fit.
I tied the shoelaces and went back to Leon's office to see Ana on Oliver's back, clinging on to him for dear life.
Why, you may ask? Simba was still doing his stance.
I sighed, so cute.
"Alright, let's go to the cafeteria." I announced, making everyone's eyes landed on me, except for Dayana's.
I felt like I shrinked from the attention of others, and looks from eyes which didn't belong to Dayana.
"Dayana, come on. We're going already." Oliver said and let go of her.
But Dayana didn't.
For a split-second, I wanted to break Oliver in half and keep Dayana to myself but I knew I couldn't.
I heard Leon growl, only he and I heard it.
He's groowling 'cause he's jelous, right? So was I jelous when I threw my Jordans at Oliver?
No way, I just hated the fact that there was a probability that Oliver might just be toying with Dayana. Yeah, that's it.
I'm just looking out for a friend.
Remember Xander, you like Erica Chrose. Not Dayana.
Remember that.
You like her...
... Brain, you mean Erica, right?
No.
Ooohhh!!!! So Xander does like Erica? Or does he? Is he in denial or is he telling the truth? What do you think? Mwahahahahaha! Also!!!!!
Shout out to the one who ships Dayana with the stranger who gave her the keychain(yes, he's still alive! Now add a ship to your ship list, quickly) because you might see something in the next chapter or the chapter after that.
Baiii
