A New World, Simon Bailey [read aloud .TXT] 📗

always planning something that ‘requires’ me to join the
student council. Don’t get me wrong her green eyes are kind
of cute and her pink puffy hair seems like cotton candy… I
have no clue why her hair reminds me of food. I check the
clock quickly and my stomach confirmed what time it was.
“Can it wait ‘til after lunch?” I could tell my face was looking
like it was about to cry.
“No!” I could tell Melissa was angry she had her bottom lip
out and when she has that out, well let’s just say it is not a
pretty sight.
“Ok, ok what do you want?”
“….”
“She says could you get us some lunch?” The bottom lip
vanished and was turned into a smile. I breath out heavily.
“Fine. What do you want? And just to say I am no paying like
the last three times.” I lied they've scrounged off ten times in
the past week, don’t their parents feed them or give them
money to buy food?
“Here.” Melissa puts out her hand in a fist. I reach out mine
and she drops some coins in my hand.
“One thousand Yen! For both of you?”
“….”
“She says that her parents are struggling with money at the
moment.” At that point I felt that my heart go into my stomach,
"So what would you ladies like then?" At this point in my mind
I'm trying to redeem myself.
"I would like the curry special and Suzanne would like a salad;
any will do." I nodded, got up and left the room and headed towards the cafeteria.
Chapter 2 From Bad to Worse

I had ordered what the girls had wanted and was heading
back to the classroom and as I was, I was checking to make
sure that our change was separate so that neither of us
would have more change then we should have.
Just as I had finished separating the change I noticed
something in the corner of my mind, which had me half-curious,
I put down the change and the food, and I thrusted my arms
diagonally down and outwards, two swords that looked like
fire that was frozen in time came out of nowhere, and went
over to a completely shaded wall even though the sun was bearing down
on said wall. I got close to it and checked to see if anyone was around
then I got close to the wall.
"I'm not that stupid." I said to the wall. Normally to humans
I would seem that I had lost my mind. But I'm not a human
and this shadow isn't natural on this planet either. I
saw that the shadow on the wall hadn't responded, I checked my surroundings
once more to make sure there were no by standers,
"I'll give you one more chance, leave the planet before
I do something I regret."
