Eighth Chapter
I woke up, a light brown hair in my mouth. I wonder why people in movies wake up perfectly stylish. No, you don't look fresh and clean when you wake up! Take exemple on Anna from Frozen, THAT IS how we really look. Stupid Hollywood.
-Liz'?
-You can come in, Elia.
The little girl opened the door and sit on my bed.
-How are you feeling today? Are you ready to pass some cool tests.
-Yeah, even though I am not sure we have the same definition of the word "cool", I said with a smile.
There was a silence. Elia was simply looking at me.
-You have beautiful eyes.
-Hum... thanks. Yours are pretty peculiar too.
They were gold, a very bright gold. It reminded me of the sun at midday. Her hair were not like Peter's blond head. She had brown, wavy hair, it only made her eyes brighter.
-It's like a storm, she said with a curious face. The coloration of your eyes is a weird mixture of different pigments of gray.
-A storm? No one compared them to that before.
-That's because no one is like me. Also, I have the ability to detect the smallest details. My mom says I pay too much attention at others and not enough at myself.
-Strange thing to say to a child..., I whispered to myself.
Silence came back. Is it me or the sound of silence is more present since I'm here?
-Anyway, Mother sended me to let you know that diner was ready. She also apologies for yesterday's behavior.
-Why couldn't she tell it to me?
-Because she will never admit out loud that she was wrong. So, I'm apologizing for her.
-Reminds me of someone..., I told her with a grin.
My dad gave me is stubborness and pride. There's no way he or I could ever apologie to anyone. We certainly looooove to be right and we never admit that we're wrong (even if we are deep into the wrongs). That's why I'm his favorite child, I am the one that looks (mentally) the most like him. We even do the same faces sometimes. We were tight before, but since we moved to Lyon, he started hiding things from me and he slowly put a wall between us. Maybe I did something wrong again, but shouldn't he be immune against his own kid's stupidness? I think every parent should.
I do not know if I am ready to begin the Testidium... I don't know if it will be hard, stressful or simple. I feel like Jon Snow right now.
I know nothing!
-So, are you coming?
I did not even realize that she was still there. She was standing in the door's framing.
-Yeah, sure. I just wished I could have changed before that.
-Don't be silly! You have nothing else to where!
-I do have my own clothes.
-They're in the washer.
-Oh.
She smiled at me.
-We could go shopping before Peter and you leave for the main City. You won't go there in his pj's.
-I hope so. Wait... you actually have markets?
-Where did you think we get our stuff from?
-I don't know, something more magical then a Walmart.
-What's a Walmart?
-A market in North America.
-What's North America?
-Oh god, there's so much you don't know. I thought you knew everything. Isn't that your power?
-I never traveled to Phynia, so I don't know a lot of things about this word. I know things that were written about it, here.
-Oh I see ( a little silhouette).
- So, are you coming or not.
-I'm following you.
She walked out of my room and, as I said I would, I followed her to the kitchen. Once in the room, I sat next to Peter. His hair were all messy and he had marks of his pillow on his cheek. I burst into laughter.
-What's so funny, Specimen?
-I told you to stop calling me that. Also, you should watch yourself in a mirror.
-Why would I do that? Do I have pillow marks again?
-You sure do, said Mason.
Tall guy gave a dark stare to his little brother.
-He's only telling facts, big brother, don't be angry at him, said Elia.
Kate came in with some pancakes and maple sirup. She put the plate in the middle of the table and the the four kids that could reach it all took one. Toby simply waited for someone to give it to him.
-There you go, Toby, said Felicia while giving him one too.
-Ababeubdeiu. (I am sure that's not how you write it, but it sounded like that, maybe he thanked her. Who knows?)
Peter looked at me.
-Do you want one?
-I don't know. I am not very hungry.
-You should eat before leaving. We have a big day.
-Yeah, I guess I should, but right now I feel more like throwing up.
-That's because of the enormous jet lag, said Elia. I know that for a fact! We could grab something on our way to the mall.
Peter gave us a weird look.
-You guys are going to the mall?
-Seriously, Peter? Look at the poor thing. She's still wearing you're pj's!, said Felicia.
-Okay then, but you have to come back before 15h. We are leaving at 15h15.
-Woah, the Testidium is really not long! I said.
They all strangely stared at me.
-It is long, Specimen. We're only coming back in three days!
-WHAT? (I literally just yelled)
-How much time did you think it took?
-I don't know!
-Just like Jon Snow, right, said Elia.
I looked at her.
-You know Game of Thrones?
-Game of Thrones? No, I don't I only said that because you used that reference earlier.
-But, I was not even talking!
-I think you were, she said with a smile.
God dammit. She must know then. There's no way she does not know about the stunningly attractive guy.
As if she read my mind.
-I know about the guy too, said Elia while laughing.
-What guy, asked Felicia.
-Who knows, answered her sister.
Now, I will try to change the subject without anyone noticing.
-Anyways, how old are you, folks?
-I'm 12, Fey is 9, Toby is 1 year old, Mace is 12 too he's my twin and well, you already know Pete's aging. So, since you seem to try to avoid talking about the "stunningly-attractive-guy", let's discuss him. How is he?
That Elia-girl will go far in her life. She got it all figured out. She is too smart for this world.
-He's, uh, pretty...? I guess, I don't know. I saw him only for ten seconds.
-Eyes or hair color, demanded Fey.
-Black and I did not look at his eyes.
-What? That's like the first thing I notice about people!, said Elia.
-Yeah, I know that. I've experienced it.
We laughed. Everyone started talking with someone else. Conversations were floating everywhere and I could only get some pieces of each one. Fey and her mother were practicing French. Cornelia and Mason were fighting about who was the most useful to the community (Mason was a healer). Peter was trying to make Toby eat his pancake. It was really funny to watch, Tall guy had maple sirup all over his shirt and Toby's face was even worst. I laughed and Peter looked at me.
-What is it? Do you find this stinky situation funny, Specimen? 'Cause I can make you stinky too.
-Please don't! That's the only thing I have to wear!
He put his dirty hands in my face and in my hair.
-You fool! I'll have to take a shower!
-Well, don't take too much hot water, I will take mine right after you.
-Watch me take it all to myself.
