Knowledge is Power

Hey Kaio's readers! Fuzzynatsh here, filling in. If you are all wondering why I am filling in, it is because kaio got a call from her close friend who got evicted from her apartment. She has been helping her move all her stuff over until she can find a new one. She left me her unedited handwritten draft of this chapter to post. I seriously do not have any other chapters. She writes them during her breaks at work and does not have much more after this one, just a few sentences from the next one. She asked me to get it done for her and since I put her up to it I do not mind. I do not know how long she will be gone for, she thinks it may be a week or so. She told me to apologize for her. that's all. Fuzzynatsh out...

Now that Chazz had eaten his fill, and Ms. Fontaine found nothing wrong with him aside from a minor sprain, it was time to make sense out of last night’s nightmare on his way back to his dorm. His main concern rested currently on the issue of what he may have said while dreaming.

Contemplation seemed like his new hobby. More often than not, he found himself trying to make sense of every word and action performed by that evil genius that was his tutor. The latest event however, sent him into vicious confusion. Was he somehow picking up subliminal messages? What could that sly ra be planning? For what reason would he want Chazz to be in love with him? It just didn’t add up.

The red dorm seemed like it moved further from the infirmary. He’d been hobbling along for almost twenty minutes, it never took that long before. Only now was he passing the blue boy’s dorm. One of the residents of the dorm appeared beside him, apparently excited about something.

“Helloooooo Chazz! You must have had a super fun night last night!” An enthusiastic Atticus crowed. How did this guy manage to get into obelisk blue anyway?

“You have no idea.” The tired slifer stated. He really didn’t feel like chatting. What brought about such an assumption from him anyway?

“Oh, but I do! On my way back from my date last night, I happened to pass by that old well. If you want, I won’t tell Alexis, or does she know already?”

What a horribly convenient inconvenience! Of all the people to hear him talking in his sleep about him, why did it have to be that big mouthed obelisk? Sure, he'd be able to find out whatever it was he was saying, but that might end up in tragedy. Hopefully, whatever Chazz said wouldn’t be that bad.

“WHAT DID YOU HEAR?!” Chazz said, grabbing Atticus by the shirt. He now sported a frenzied look, like he may have to kill the obelisk if his answer proved unfavourable.

“Chill dude! I won’t tell anyone!” He said, startled.

“Tell me what you heard! ALL of it!”

“J-just you and, uh, what was his name again? Oh right! Bastion. you were pretty vocal, chanting his name like that.”

Chazz loosened his grip, breathed a sigh of relief and released Atticus. This had just become an easy situation to escape from, hopefully. “You’re wrong, I was having a nightmare. Why on earth would I go into a well at night, with him no less?”

“I thought you were being kinky...”

“Well you thought wrong. Now if you’re all done pointing fingers, then leave me the hell alone!”

“Jeez, sorry you’re upset about getting rejected. If you want, I can help you win him over.”

“What are you talking about? I can’t even stand being in the same room with him! And if anything, I’d be the one to reject him! Just drop it already!”

“So you haven’t confessed to him yet?”

“There’s nothing to confess!”

“Oh sure. I can tell, I am Duel Academy’s doctor of love you know. You blush a little when you mention him.” Atticus said sarcastically. He then comically poked at the quickly limping Chazz while taunting,“This has the making of a beautiful love story; rich kid, unloved by his brothers, falls madly in love with, err, some smart guy with popularity issues.”

Ok, Atticus was seriously getting on his nerves now. If he wasn’t injured, he’d surely show the obelisk a thing or two. Too bad he was too tired to rebut as well. “Are you done?”

“Ah, you’re no fun. If you’re ever ready to admit your love, call me and Syrus, we’ll get you started.”

“Why don’t you make yourself useful and hook me up with Alexis?!.”

“Ah, ha, about that, she said she doesn’t like you. At all. I believe she said something like, if you were the last guy on earth...”

“Shut up!” That’s probably the last thing he wanted to hear right now. “I’m tired, go bother someone else!” Chazz barked. He could see his room, he was in the home stretch! Once he made it back to his dorm, he’d lock his door and make sure no one else would bother him until Monday.

“Alright, see you lover boy.” The flirtatious obelisk said with a giant smile, waving good bye.

A distressed Chazz abruptly locked his door and hauled his dresser across it. Maybe now he’d be able to sort out his thoughts. First, it was clear that the demon spawn was invading his thoughts more than usual, and not in a good way. Secondly, at least two different people heard him sleep talking, which was also not a good thing. His situation didn’t look good, especially with the newly acquired information from Atticus. Something he said really got to him, besides the fact that Alexis pretty much hated him. Did he really blush at the very mention of the tutor? No, of course not, that was simply Duel Academy’s love doctor attempting to mess with him. But why would he do that? Was there some conspiracy going on?

Chazz sighed. His thoughts were a void of disarray and chaos. He needed sleep, a good night’s worth would definitely straighten everything out. Maybe if he got lucky, he’d sleep all through the night without any dreams at all.
