章節 14: Leo: Aries
Stroking the green leafy hair on his head, Evandre fished out a bar of dark chocolate from his back pocket. Tearing the wrapper, he took a bite of it. "Where did you go this afternoon?"
"Burial ground! To dig a five foot ten grave." Leandre gravely sized Evandre from head to toe.
"You_y_ you shouldn't crack jokes in the night!" Evandre gulped, taking a step back. ''What was that attitude with the director? Is this your trick to enter the director's good books?"
''Was it you who left the bag of idiots open?'' Leandre brushed past him and was off to his room.
''You...you calling me an idiot?'' Evandre nostrils flared. "Wait, you pesky Leandre."
''So, you agree to be an idiot?'' Xanth laughed.
''You hooligans! I will take care of you during dinner!'' Evandre swallowed the whole chocolate in anger, his face resembling an angry bird.
''Let's see, pineapple,'' Dustin and Knox shouted, laughing their ass off.
Evandre is the worse copycat the friends have seen. Starting from the name to his lifestyle, Evandre parrots Leandre. His parents named him Evan. In sixth or seventh grade, they remember, he demanded his father change his name to Evandre. When he didnot comply, he threw tantrums until his father obliged. When everybody thought Evandre would follow Leandre to the same University for graduation, as he did previously, surprisingly, he went to Zeus university. Knowing Leandre's interest in Intelligent services, Evandre left his family business and followed him here.
Leandre tiredly fell on the bed after going to his room. Although Duncan is strict about the rules, he is very surplus regarding privacy. Nobody would believe this is an academy. The arrangements look like a five-star hotel with all the luxuries. Getting fresh, Leandre switched on the TV. Jeff's news was scrolling on the news channel, reporting his body was dead and found in a lake. "Good job, Liam." Leandre appreciated his acquaintance for clearing the evidence.
A notification from Knox popped up on his mobile.
[Knox: Check this video. This is your astrology predictions for this week]
[...Are you the courageous and energetic Leo? Butterfly astrology has brought you good news. Leo's, get ready to meet your soulmate...a cheerful, soft, and likeable girl will....]
''Bullshit.'' Leandre hit the close button. He has no time for love or dating.
Leandre opened the laptop to check for new emails. There was one from essentialoillover requesting his address to send a thank-you gift. "What a funny name!'' He formed this organization a year back and named enforcers to protect the city from what Government could not do. Never he thought the people would cherish Enforcers.
Leandre replied to the mail.
[Essentialoillover,
Enforcers commit to protecting people from criminals. A thank-you gift is not necessary. Good job in raising your voice. I assume humanity is still living in the world seeing people like you. Also, I liked the torture techniques you attached in a document form. By the way, you got a funny name. Mind you tell which oil industry you work in]
''Does the last words sound too sarcastic and personal?" Leandre hit the send button anyway.
....
After dinner, Clary spent time in the garden with her grandmother explaining how enforcers killed Jeff. After listening to the whole story, her grandmother advised her to date such a person.
"She always brings about my love life in every topic I talk about," Clary said, going to her room. Her master told her to come for the archery practice at dawn since the Olympic Games were approaching. ''I hate early mornings.''
Clary switched on the TV to pass some time. Nothing was interesting until she found a channel named Butterfly astrology.
[Butterfly astrology brings spice to the bold and energetic Aries]
''Aries?'' Clary exclaimed. ''It's my zodiac sign."
[The bold, romantic Aries girls, brace yourselves.. you are going to meet your soulmates soon..Men who want to court Aries...you need to gear up to openness...Foreplay is not their forte..They are more likely to jump into action...]
Clary felt sick enough to puke. ''Eww! Which idiotic channel is this? Talking about zodiac sex during the night?''
[So, want to seduce Aries girls? Men...wear a black shirt, and appear in front of them...Aries girls will fall head over heels..]
''I am going to let my middle finger do the talking, you filthy channel,'' Clary grumbled, turning off the TV.
Just then, Clary received a text from Candy asking if she had plans for this Sunday. ''Of course, I am always busy on Sundays.'' She has a habit of visiting plant nurseries every Sunday. Her dad always says that her mom's love for plants has been passed on to her. Speaking about her, Clary swatted the bitter thoughts off her mind.
She replied to Candy and checked the other notifications. Her eyes widened in surprise, seeing there was a reply from Enforcers. ''What the! A reply from Enforcers?''
Clary carefully read the entire content, and her brows furrowed, reaching the last part of the sentence. ''Which oil industry? Is this person mocking my name?"
[Enforcers,
I work in the 'Witch' oil industry. Do you like to try our 'Witch oils'?]
''A savage reply, Clary!'' Clary giggled, patting her shoulder. She hit the sent button and slumped on the bed, checking the mailbox now and then. "Wait! Am I expecting a reply?"
