章節 3: Bulbblub
I woke up with a headache. Without forgetting the thirst. I think my throat is too dry. I could drink anything. I could drink poison or I could take Vira's… I blinked. Oh that was… was so dirty coming from my mind. Wonder if it tastes the same as…
I blushed and punched into the air. At least that's what I thought. I forgot to look around me so Adri got punched. Friendship always starts with a kick or punch. Ah! I smiled. Adri put her hand on her chin and looked dazed. "We are definitely friends now. After a kick or punch, you must be friends with that person."
Adri was about to speak but then I cut her off by jumping on the nearest source of water. It was a pot of flowers. I looked crazy. Crazily thirsty. Adri's mouth stayed open. "Mine." "You have… A leaf…" "Huh?" I licked my teeth then found the so-called leaf. I wondered if I should spit it or eat it. I remembered plants have some juice so I crunched it. More water for me. I coughed. I think I inhaled it? No, there is no way. I'm too much of a pro to die of this newbie mistake. I coughed some more.
Adri looked at me with worry. "I'm sorry for attacking you. I didn't know you were one of us. The weak bunch. I-" I cut her with my dying coughs. Not like I was listening to her speech. I am trying to breathe. She should have said instead that she is happy to become my friend. Why is no one saying this… She should run to get me water instead of talking. Is that wa...ter?
A bottle of water was sent from the sky by an angel. Thanks, kind angel. I snatched the bottle and drank it in one go. Ada looked at me with the look of regretting being my friend. "This time you ATE poison. Why did you touch something that wasn't yours? That plant is poisonous. Oh and you drank its water, congrats. What are you going to do next? Drink mud?"
I licked my lips with a satisfied face. The pain from the small cut came as an alert to my brain and I clenched my chest. I drank poisonous water and I regret nothing. My expression didn't change much. I only closed my eyes a little but now I'm back to normal. I'm ignoring the small pain. "Yeah, I'll drink your blood~"
Ada slapped my head. And I shook my head so my hair go back to normal. She had messed them up a little. "Well if you want the truth, I did drink mud. Oh and blood too. My blood. Who doesn't?" Ada facepalmed while Adri gave me a look of pity. "Don't worry. We are friends and I will help you by buying you food to eat properly and stop being a skeleton. We can even train together! You're not so bad for a skeleton. Immagine what will happen after I fatten you up." "The only thing I need is for you to buy me water, use your legs and run for your life to give it to me."
Adri's eyes shone as if she discovered a mystery. "I will do this too! Your system must be bad for it to ask su much water but not even help you in the slightest..."
Ada's head turned to look at Adri with big eyes. At the same time, Carla and Madonna rolled slowly backwards in a chair and got in my point of view. They were staring at Adri's back. I gave a sarcastic laugh. Adri's face dropped. She hoped she didn't say something bad. Ada shook her head with a sigh. "System? What system? I know no system. I can say system all day and nothing will happen. Look. System, system, system, system, sys-teeeeemmmmm!" I threw the empty bottle of water in front of me. It hit Adri's face. Again her.
"What the- What poison was that for me to see a fake system? Wow I'm so highhhhh." While sitting, my top buddy keeps making circles. "woOoOo WoOoO." "Calla, stop that. You are embarrassing. What if Vira came? That plant only gives slight irritation to your throat. You didn't drink alcohol."
"How am I not- Look at this bullshit." I stopped spinning and flopped back on the bed. Oh I was in bed all this time. Nice. A white one. Of course. Cause I'm in a nurse's office. "Look at the bullshit, it's saying: 'Congrats on drinking 5 different types of liquids! Bulbblub.' What is that Bulbblub!"
Adri nodded. "She is gravelly poisoned. We need to call the nurse again so she can heal her more." Looks like I finally got Ada without a comeback. Seems like she is using her brain hard to think of what to say. "Bulbblub?" It was Carla. "That's a cute system name. You are so lucky. I also want my system to have such a cute name… I think you are the first to get a pretty name!"
I and Ada gave her a look that said "really?" Madonna nodded. "That looks like it. I had a congrats when I first saw my system but that was it. There was no… Bulbblub hihi'' She giggles. She made fun of me. Of my… s… sy… of my delusion! "Wait so all this time you had no system? What does your system do?" Adri was shocked. I guess I'm such a good actress, no one knew I was systemless.
Ada punched the wall near her. "Wait. You are telling ME. I ran all that time to give you water for nothing!? I was telling myself I helped a friend become stronger but you! You!" "I was thirsty. You are a good friend. Helping a thirsty friend is nice. You are nice. A nice friend. Keep helping me." "I also want to be a nice friend!" Adri butted in. "Me too…" Carla finished. Madonna didn't say anything. That's rude. I don't want that rude girl as my friend.
I ignored Madonna and sat up while reaching my hands towards Ada. "Ady~ hug~" "Not today satan. Not today. You're not drinking my blood. You have new victims now" She pushed Adri in my arms. "Claws!" I hugged Adri instead. Maybe I should have made a proper sentence but I wanted to see her claws so… no. I think I found her a cute nickname?
Adri hesitated, processing what I wanted from her and thinking of the situation she was in. Her nails slowly grew and I snatched her hands. My chest was against her back and I put my head to rest on her shoulder. Finally someone who lets me see their system from up close! Adri is a better friend than Ada… Well Ada can enhance her speed? So I can't play much. Not her fault but her fault. But these claws. So interesting, so beautiful. I squeezed Adri's hand with my eyes full of interest. I heard Ada stomp her feet. I slid my fingers on Adri's hand till it reached the bigger sized nails. I call them claws. They looked sharp even though kinda ordinary... They aren't that big but I have the feeling they will get bigger in the future. Imagine the damage she could do.
"Vira's here!" I gasped and kicked Adri away. I looked around while blushing. I was embarrassed. Hope Vira doesn't think her system is less interesting. I don't even know what's her system so of course it's interesting and I would love it whatever it would be.
I still keep looking around but see no one. I stare at Ada. "Where?" "Oh you were so concentrated in looking at Ada that she walked by and you didn't see her." "What…" I was devastated. How could I not sense her presence? How could I not hear her steps? How could I not smell her sweet scent? I thought I got good at it. It wasn't enough. I dropped my head and looked at the ground in dejection. It's been a day since I saw her. I'm sad.
Adri got up from the ground with a confused look. She looked at me, blushed then looked away. Madonna slightly giggled while Ada stared at me. Why was she staring so much? I know she is staring. Who wouldn't with that jealousy look in her eyes… Ohhhh she is jealous of my new friends. I suddenly look at her and give her a dashing smile. Everyone froze and so did my smile.
"Did you also eat the plant? Why did you stop breathing? Do you need my water? I'll share if you are about to die..." I was reluctant to. Talking about water, I feel thirsty. Ada said. "Sleep… Yes, sleep. You're crazy…"
I've been called crazy for the first time? By my friend?...
