Chapter 24 (2/2)

”I don't think that Ray's making up a story. That 'thing' really is in the auditorium. You've seen it yourself a few times already,” said Troll to KJ.

”Yeah! But why did that 'thing' give a statement like that? It's illogical!” KJ was still monkeying.

”Why are you so jumpy? We don't even know whether that ‘thing' is referring to anything. Maybe that 'thing' was persecuted in the past, that's it,” Troll tried calming the situation.

”I don't know. Sounds a little too fishy - knowing that Ray wasn't totally on board with the whole idea. And then this story suddenly came up,” said KJ while glancing at Ray curiously.

”Hey, give him a break will ya?” Gibbs backed Ray.

”Alah, you're the same, Gibbs. Maybe it's you who planned all this, trying to scare us, right?” replied KJ.

This kid is really asking for a beating tonight, thought Gibbs.

”You got a problem with me, dude?” asked Gibbs.

”We 'taught' that girl for your sake, you get it? Then you can walk away clean… and you even have a girlfriend! So, yeah, I got a problem with that!” responded KJ.

”It wasn't my idea, G.o.ddammit! You're the one that wanted to do it!” yelled Gibbs.

”See? See? Yes, it's my idea, but you all agreed! So, we'll have to bear it together!”

”Sure, we'll bear it together, you idiot! Was it you who was called by Old Lan? Hah? Was it you who was disturbed in the auditorium? If not, then just shut the h.e.l.l up!” Gibbs roared.

”Whoa, chill!” screamed Troll.

Everyone silenced.

”What the heck is with you, KJ? Why are you so agitated? How many times have you pranked people by now, and you're never this nervous,” commented Troll.

KJ just snorted.

”This friend of ours, when it comes to paranormal things, he's just a scaredy cat,” Ray sounded and sat up. He lighted a cigarette carefreely like the tense air wasn't there.

”You know that I can't stand these things! Why did you have to tell us that?” KJ questioned Ray - indirectly admitting that he's scared of Ray's story.

”It's an interesting story. Thought I should share,” replied Ray, still nonchalant.

”But it really has nothing to do with us, right?” KJ still wanted a confirmation.

Ray shrugged.

”Well, there's one way to find out…” as that sentence came out from Gibbs' mouth, he felt like pulling it back it, as he didn't think of the effects from the action that he would suggest until the sentence came out.

”How?” asked Troll.

Ah, d.a.m.n it. Let's just go on, Gibbs decided.

”Fara. She.. can communicate with those 'things',” told Gibbs.

Everyone was silent. Yes! My girlfriend is a weirdo! But she's hot, get it?

”But how would you ask her without letting her know what we did?” Troll tossed out the question that's been playing in Gibbs' mind.

”I think she already knows,” said Ray, who said what's in Gibbs' mind too.

”Gotta face the music sooner or later. Do you want me to ask?” asked Gibbs.

”Only if there are no repercussions,” KJ insisted.

”There definitely would be repercussions. Me being single again is one of them,” replied Gibbs.

”well… that's not so bad,” KJ said with a grin.

”You really are a mixture of an ape and a pig, eh?” said Gibbs.

”Are you saying that my dad's an ape and my mom's a pig?”

”In that case, you got your dad's mouth and your mom's nose,” replied Ray.

”f.u.c.k you!!”

And thus, KJ rumbled Ray while Troll laughed at the side. Gibbs simply smiled, thinking about his fate when he meets Fara the next day.

I’ll post another one later…  maybe two… if I wake up… too sleepy…

Hope you enjoyed it… -_-
