19 Simple gestures (1/2)

Henry did not want to wake Madel up so he made a spiritual barrier to ward of the sound.

”Nice to meet you again, I'm Helen.” She introduced herself again while waving her hand.

Henry was a little amused but he waved back at her with a force smile.

”Francis stayed in our house yesterday, did you know mother made him sleep in my courtyard. Tsk.” Helen continuously spoke.

”They must really want him as a son in law.” Henry gave a teasing smile and looked at Francis. His eyes almost pooped out from shock and embarrassment.

”Well you know, nothing happened. He does not have any balls and did not dared to enter my room.” She said.

”Why would I go intoyour room little ugly duckling!” Francis scoffed. Since the lady beside her does not want to tone it down a little neither did he.

They started quarreling again. Henry touched Madels head gently making sure she is not affected by the on going battle behind them. Helen of coursed noticed it.

[damn this residual feelings.] she said as she felt jealous.

The attitude and mood of the previous owner of the body was like that and somehow Helen felt at ease to go with that type of personality. She had been very graceful, modest, quiet and overall feminine before. Although she wanted to try many things, she opted to protect her image. Because of that she missed a lot of opportunities to have fun and express herself.

Henry shook his shoulder a little and removed the spiritual barrier around Madel when they arrived at the academy. The latter had been sleeping in his shoulders for almost half an hour now. It was like that each time Madel got to seat next to Henry.

Madel was known for her ability to sleep anywhere anytime. Inside the classroom, when sitting or standing, while reading and even while eating. It was not a surprise for Henry that she doses off at the carriage. He makes sure that the seat next to him is empty whenever possible. Madel as naïve as she is, never noticed it, and probably she never will.

It was not her intent to sleep in his shoulders. Because in fact, as shameless as it is, she does it to anyone who seats next to her. Henry with his protective nature, although he is annoyed, he knew what to do to prevent his naïve friend from embarrassing herself.

There are times when Cheska would ride the same school carriage as them. She is often late so she misses the school carriage most of the time. When this happens. Cheska as the first to ride the bus does the same as Henry. Henry was the next one to ride the bus, since he knew Cheska, he will feel obliged to seat beside her.

Madel will sit anywhere if it happens because the bus is arranged in two line of seats in the left, and two lines at the right. The silent politics between the three had been going on for ages, in fact it was not just the three. The previous Helen was also included.

Francis who was thinking that Helen was like his best friend back on Planet Hilan dismissed his thought. The noisy girl beside him was just the opposite.

In school, the principal called Francis in his office. Recognizing his strength, the principal knew that he would be a great asset in their school, especially in the upcoming interscholastic tournament. Being able to kill shadows meant that Francis was a godly existence. To persuade him, the principal said that the school will manage his accommodation, and lodging. He will be given food, allowance and he can live in one of the villa's inside the school.

Francis agreed. He learned that the academy is called Gray Academy. It sounded like his previous school in High school, Kray academy, where he met Yuki. Then the principal accompanied him to the classroom, where everyone was waiting. He immediately saw Cheska, and Madel. They smiled sweetly upon seeing him.

Then he saw Henry who gave him a simple smile and then Helen, whose face was plastered with disappointment, shock and different emotions that he could not fathom.
