65 The Change (1/2)

When they went upstairs Linri could not hold himself back any more.

”Why did you do it?” He was looking at Jaime demanding an answer.

”Do what?” Her answer made him even more irritated.

”Don't play dumb with me! You forced me to tell them about the school earlier than I intended. What if something went wrong?” Jaime turned back to look towards him. She had a smile on her face.

”It went alright in the end, didn't it? So what's the fuss?” Linri tried to calm himself down. This girl in front of him managed to push his buttons. It had been almost a month since their transmigration but she had already figured out a way to make him angry.

Wait that did not sound right. He was not a person to get agitated so easily so was his fluctuating emotions a side effect? Like how Spark's personality changed drastically? That should not be possible, Linri's personality was quite similar to his own and it was the Togk deities that changed his personality over time. Since he dealt with that he should not be affected by it. Was there something he was overlooking?

”What's got you thinking so deeply all of a sudden?” She had a frown on her doll-like face. This sudden question brought Linri back to reality. He could think about that question later.

”Nothing important. Anyway don't force me in the future ever again, I have my plans and everything has a time and place. Next time if you do something like that it might affect them. Admittedly I could have ignored you and say nothing, but this time I had a back up so that's why I played along. Next time though it might be different so don't take liberties with me.”

”Do you know what your problem is? You are always so pessimistic, they did not even reject you but you are already assuming that. Life is not supposed to be like that, you should not always plan your each and every move, your words. You should take things as they come. I am not saying planning is bad but you should be more relaxed about it.”

”And where would that put us? If I didn't plan everything you would be sleeping in that run down place right now!”

”Why is that? Are you telling me your parents wouldn't help a girl in need if you were not beaten up? Would they just turn a blind eye to someone in need if you brought them? You could have just said I was an online friend in trouble, you do not have to go to 'extreme' in everything. Don't you feel that it's tiring to plan every single detail? It's alright to make mistakes.”

Linri was feeling troubled by her words. He could tell that she was right to some extent but admitting that would deny his way of living.

”You have changed.” Jaime's smile became dazzling upon these words.

”Do you hate it?”
