Bab 7: What's Needed
Marcus opened the door to a soaking wet me, my hand holding a plastic bag filled with my uniform and shoes.
"Talk about rough Warren..."
Marcus was a freshman attending my old high school and was one of my few friends. He had blonde hair and pale skin, but he gave of one of the chillest vibes. We hit it off the first time we met.
"So what's up?"
I watched as water dripped from my nose, not a single idea of what to say.
"Honestly, I don't even know what is happening. It's like I'm just along for the ride."
Marcus sipped coffee as he opened his laptop. He glanced at me wetting his carpet. I felt bad I was just casually sitting in his apartment.
"Jeez man, the sappy shit, I thought you were the complete opposite?"
I laughed slightly, "Same, it doesn't match my character at all."
Marcus turned in his gaming chair, " The character stuff again, I told you doing that only makes your mistakes more relevant."
I waved him off, "I know, I know."
"Do you though, this same stuff happened with Mikayla."
My heart singed for a moment, the thought of my first crush entering my head.
Marcus set his cup of coffee down and headed to the small kitchenette, "So are you gonna explain or do I have to guess the plot holes."
I smiled, just hearing his quips made me feel better, "Well..."
I told him everything, excluding the bath stuff and the Shi exposing Arid's breast, that was in the vault for sure.
Marcus sighed, "It's in times like these you need the power of Shaggy at your side."
I blinked rapidly, "Shaggy?"
Marcus rolled his eyes, "Never mind dumb ass but I think I understand."
I looked up at him holding a cup to me.
I did not take it.
"Come on it's your favorite, black with a lot of sugar." Marcus winked at me. I finally took the cup, my eyes darting around his surprisingly clean apartment.
"So how do I even react, I never dealt with family issues before?"
Marcus plopped back down in his computer chair, "Well to be blunt, this is not your problem, and you should not make it yours. Meddling in this stuff has proved to fail so doing more would be catastrophic."
I cried internally.
"Or that's what I would of said if this was some anime."
We both gave each other looks.
"I think it's time for the old Warren, the Warren who guessed plot lines before they happened. The Warren who argues internally over the dumbest shit possible, or the Warren whose ego is more in his own head then anywhere else."
I almost wanted to cry. If I was a female, Marcus would definitely be allowed to smash.
Wait what the fuck brain?!
Oh god damnit I see what he just did.
It seemed Marcus might know me a little to well. I wiped away the "WATER" and not tears from my face.
"I guess this character arc is over eh Marcus?"
Marcus shrugged, "I mean you still have to gather a harem of your sisters and finally write your next installment under Sex King. People are waiting."
I fist pumped the air, "Okay you are right, maybe this arc has a few more chapters left in it."
Marcus pointed to a door, "You can use the guest room and sleep here tonight, tomorrow you have to fix a few things."
I sighed and nodded, yeah I do, I also have things I need to plan.
The daunting idea of running for student Council President still remaining in my head.
