So, I'm not dealing with this, I'm going home.
Hey Evelyn, some help here?
Evelyn looks back at Lela and then back at Jake/bear boy and contemplates for no more than a second.
No, have fun.
Evelyn, why don't you stay a bit longer? I have questions for you too. Lela says while grabbing bear boy/jake's arm tightly forcing a smile.
No.
I'll pay you.
Sure.
Right, you really love money don't you?
So?
Nothing, just making sure.
Hey, can you guys not talk while forgetting about me? Jake/bear boy says still in Lela's grasp.
Right, so how do you two know each other? He said you were supposingly the IRS of the town of your weird council.
Weird council? Oh, you mean the ghost council? We're closer to a group than a council honestly, also it's not called IRS here, it's called S.E.T.
S.E.T?
Yea, Soul Energy Tax.
Oh, and why are you holding onto him like that? Evelyn gestures towards bear boy/Jake who has given up.
Oh, can't have him running away.
Why would he run?
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
He used to walk in and out of the town protected by the council, so the town was constantly at risk of being discovered by the A.N.I which was a pretty big problem.
Oh.
Also, he didn't pay the tax. Anyways, my turn to ask questions.
Hm?
I answered your questions, now you answer mine.
Fine.
First, how can you see ghosts?
Born with it.
Second question, why are you lacking soul energy so severely?
Ask… what's his name?
Hansoo. Bear boy/Jake replies still having given up struggling and accepting fate.
Yea him.
You know that guy? What a surprise.
How?
He usually doesn't associate himself with others, than again, seeing a human look for him must have been a unique situation.
Okay, last question.
Hm?
Why do you associate yourself with this loser? She says swinging bear boy/Jake around easily.
I had a predicament with him now his leeching onto me.
What predicament?
Go ask… Hansoo yourself, I'm lazy.
Well, gotta go now.
Where are you bringing him?
You worried for him?
Curious.
I'm bringing him back to the council, he should be back in a while, mostly okay.
Right…
Also, where's my pay?
What pay?
You said if I didn't go home and answer your questions you'd pay me.
Right, I was hoping you'd forget… tomorrow.
What?
I'll pay you tomorrow.
When?
At school.
Oh.
Oh, remember to finish your homework.
Homework?
Yea the homework.
What homework?
Figure it out yourself, I'm going now.
What? Evelyn asks as Lela uses soul energy to move quickly with bear boy/Jake.
Great. Evelyn says while enjoying the peace and quietness as she goes home and starts searching for any form of homework to find none.
—----------------------------------------------
Next day at school
—----------------------------------------------
Dammit, I even woke up earlier to go look for the homework, but couldn't find any.
Evelyn raises her hand as the teacher walks into the class.
Yes Evelyn?
I forgot to do my homework. Evelyn says while staying and preparing to walk to the back.
What homework?
Wasn't there homework?
Sit down and stop speaking nonsense.
Evelyn heads back to her seat, spotting Lela to see her feigning an innocent smile, but one she knows is completely fake.
Right… I forgot she was in my class, and like this… Evelyn thinks while sitting down still staring at her.
Evelyn, where on earth are you staring at while I'm teaching my lesson? You wanted to stand so much just now, so I'll let you do so now, go to the back now. Her teacher says annoyed and sternly.
Evelyn stands up and starts approaching the back again to see Lela with a playful mocking smile, not even hiding it this time.
I'll get revenge for this eventually. She thinks, making sure to focus on the class and ignore Lela.
