Chapter 19: Sometimes things just happen

So... If I could name something unnerving, it is that Ellie came back with the headmaster under her arm.  What was unnerving wasn't that Ellie had him, but that he was the one who was spying on me during school?  I will ignore what she does with him and just continue on with my day because I was having a sleepover with Rose and Kylie today.

Truthfully in this last half-year I haven't been able to figure out why I'm being stared at.  But I have started to ice skate to class since if I can't get rid of the attention might as well not care anymore.  Since the classes aren't very interesting, I sometimes sneak into the high school classes to see if there is anything interesting there. To my displeasure I felt that someone was spying on me as I disappeared.  I instructed Ellie to attempt to figure out who it was, leading to what I consider a terrible day for the headmaster.

I guess even though I didn't attempt to become a tutor, somehow I got roped into helping some of my classmates with their work.  By roped I mean, I blame Rose for this outcome; she set up the study session.  She got me to come without knowing what was happening.  To be honest, I'm not the best at helping with problems, but I guess Rose wanted me to interact with more people.  It didn't really go the way she hoped though considering even though I helped it still seemed like the people I was helping froze.

After the first study session I said, "Rose you know tricking me isn't the best way to go about getting me to help."

"If you would just open up to people, you could have more friends."

"Rose... Since when have I actively avoided people?"

"So you are denying that you are skipping classes?"

"No.... I am, but it is only to intrude on the high school classes...."

She looked at me with disbelief.  Then she shook her head and said, "You are unbelievable, I thought you were trying to avoid everybody and you were just off having fun.  You didn't even invite me."

I was having trouble dealing with her curveball of a statement and her pouting from being wronged.  I didn't even realize that I had been avoiding everyone to quench my desire to intrude on my seniors.

As I was trying to figure out how answer, Ellie pushed me forward.  I ended up giving her a hug and saying "I'm sorry" since I could think of anything else.

After we ended the hug I offered, "Rose, if you want to we can spy on the high school together."

She smiled and said, "Nope, I don't want to skip classes.  You only need to realize that it isn't nice to disappear without telling anyone where you went."

At this point I realized I got played.  To be honest, I was more surprised than I was anything else so I ended up laughing while saying, "You can sleepover at my dorm this weekend, if you want?"

"Ok, We will have Kylie, you and me there."

This was how we ended up at the current situation, but I think Ellie was looking forward to it from how happy she seemed carrying the unconscious headmaster. She left to who knows where with the headmaster so I traveled back to my dorm to get washed up for supper.  Truthfully, I wouldn't do this consciously, but I've grown fond of taking baths.  It helps that I can use both fire and ice magic to mess with the water temperature.  To anyone else it would be a waste of magical power, but I possess far more than a normal person my age.  I guess I should thank Tina again at some point.

As I stripped to get into the bath, I saw my pubic hair starting to come in, I'm not sure how I feel about it.  In my past life I already grew pubic hair before so it isn't that interesting.  I guess that the most change I've had is probably the hormones making me  inexplicably happy sometimes.  I would say I did come close to an angry outburst, but I wonder if Ellie has been keeping me events that can cause those.

It might be because mom had her keep an eye on me.  I would guess the reason would be about how a pubescent girl with absurd powers will respond while angry.  My mind tells me that during an angry outburst there might me some heavily maimed people.  I would say happy and confused would be my major emotions.  Would confused be an emotion... I'm not entirely sure, but to me it is.

As I soaked in the bathtub, I began to wonder what I would see as I explore the world in a few years.  I know that my life so far has been far removed from people who would be bad, but I'm decently sure many are terrible people.  There are also good people out there, so I wonder how exactly it will play out.

POV: Mother

Ellie just got back with my daughter's stalker; truthfully it surprised me to see that it is the headmaster of the school.  What also surprised me is how far Ellie has grown in strength wise since she asked for a far more stringent workload after the attack on Ally.  She can now with no problem take out the headmaster of the school.  I wonder if Ally thinks that her father, Ellie and me are normal on the strength scale.  I have been overprotective so it might be her thought, and her father has been dealing with the changing divinations.

To say the truth, I am probably the cause of a couple of them, oops.

Back to the headmaster if he has been spying on my daughter there has to be a reason and I will make him spill it.

He woke up, so I smiled deviously to say, "Welcome to the land of the living, headmaster."

He recoiled at my words so I continued on, "You should know that Ellie caught you spying on my daughter."  I paused and asked, "Why would you do such a thing headmaster?"

He quietly answered, "I was informed by the high priest to keep an eye on her."

"You should know spying on her everyday is overkill for 'keeping an eye on her'."

He stayed quiet.

"Well, I guess I got what I needed from you, I will let Ellie administer punishment as she sees fit."

The terror in his eyes as he looked at Ellie kind of makes me wonder what type of reputation Ellie has gained recently.  Anyways, I need to get back to patching up the relationship between the beastmen and the demons. The result of me changing the first divination has strained our relationship, whoops.
