Captive?

As I reached the first floor I saw someone I definitely wasn't expecting. She looked at me and passed me a smirk.

"Dora." I returned her smile.

"I heard your brain activity decreased, looks like it's true. You can't even remember names."

"Oh please you're just mad you lost your monkey. Want to look for it together?"

"You couldn't even find your own lover and you want to find something for me?" She scoffed, "I see at least your humour has gotten better." She fake beamed.

"Very rich coming from someone who left her own lover in despair and made sure to leave the country so he couldn't find her no matter how hard he tried." I returned her gesture.

"Perhaps, if he had racked his brain a little more he might have guessed." Her smile cracked as she folded her arms.

"It didn't cross his mind that his lover was so desperate to hide like a coward." I gritted my teeth.

"Oh please! You're mad that you didn't get the priority."

"Me?" I smirked, "We weren't talking about me."

"Oh but we were." She gave me a nasty smile, "Just look at your face, it's red like a baboon's butt."

"Oh please, take a look at yourself, you're so puffed up you look uglier than a blobfish."

At this point anyone could see the veins popping on our necks and head.

"Ahaha," She laughed, "Blobfishes are actually cute you monkfish or maybe a hairy frogfish is better suited for your ugliness"

"Oh please, even a naked mole rat looks better than you."

"And a Proboscis monkey is handsomer than you'll ever be."

"Oh that monkey is very handsome but you-"

"Okay stop!!" A third voice halted us both and rather than the command, it was the voice that made us both shut up.

It was probably the only person who could do that and we both looked at the owner of the voice.

Azalea.

Who stood there near the main door with her arms folded and an angry expression.

"What is wrong with you both?" She walked towards us, "How is it that you both always insult each other whenever you cross paths?" She scolded us both and I should be feeling something negative but honestly Nora and I have this weird thing between us. We don't hate each other but can't stay away from insulting each other either.

Besides, how could I feel guilty when she was finally here?

"You're smiling?" She looked at me in awe.

How could I not smile.

Today feels like a blessed day.

"You too!" She scolded Nora, "Grow up!"

"Sorry…"

For a few moments there was silence and it felt like I was in punishment along with a fellow bad student while the teacher had sent us out of the class. Moreover it felt like it wasn't going to end soon but luckily another teacher came and saw us and told our teacher not to be so hard on us.

Caesar entered the scene.

When he saw us he sighed, "I think that's enough." He told Azalea, "They look like kindergartners in punishment."

See!

I knew he'd think the same.

His statement made Azalea chuckle and she let us go.

Nora immediately ran to Caesar, "I'm not going to this school anymore!" She pointed at me, "My classmate is so annoying!"

I walked over to Azalea and pointed at Nora, "She's more annoying."

I know we both are quite petty and stubborn because at our actions all Caesar and Azalea did was sigh and take us our separate ways but even then Nora and I looked back at each other just to stick out our tongues at one another.
