I'm a Walking Disaster With My Unwanted Virginity

Chapter 257 - Weren’t We Getting Along Just Fine?



There were two plates, two spoons, and two forks. 

I guess this place was solely designed for couples.

"Can I eat from your plate?" Elsa said.

I guess she was also hungry.

"You can eat from mine too if you want." Selene winked. 

After she just offered, I couldn't really say no.

I didn't necessarily hate sharing food but yeah, this situation didn't really favor me. I had a bad feeling about all this- or perhaps I was just overthinking things.

Elsa was in the middle while me and Selene were sandwiching her. this wasn't that big of a bed, so we were rather close. 

And the food wasn't that great either.

Also, I couldn't eat much thanks to my already full belly. 

We still ate though. 

Somehow. 

Elsa did most of the eating while I maybe ate a bite or two. I'd given her my fork while Selene had given her, her spoon.

I made extra effort not to throw up.

"Alright, there's one more place but I guess this is enough for today." Selene went to the corner. "And once you're done, you can just press this button here, and-"

And we were back on top. Just like that. Almost like teleportation, but not quite. 

This place was kind of deserted, so no one could see us. And even if someone did, they'd just mind their business. That was the rule. 

A bit of wind passed by, cold. 

The room down there was quite warm and comfortable but a sudden change like this, only made me want to shiver. 

"What if more than one used this room?"

"There's about a hundred rooms scattered around the place and they're well maintained. We just came out: This room won't be available till someone cleans it and refills the stuff we've used." Selene giggled. "But since we didn't use much, they'd probably just reuse this room as it is but charge a bit less."

Two silvers was very reasonable and I had a feeling a lot of students used these things. And frequently too.

Then again, who was I to judge? It was their life anyway.

"I guess, we'll be heading home then."

"Right! I have to get back to the dorms too." She was about to leave but- "Oh and I heard you had Raea over for a few days. What's up with that?"

I gulped. I tried my extra best to make sure the word didn't spread, but it still spread. 

"Oh, he just let her stay there, for a bit of price." And Elsa spilled the beans. She also gave me a rather heinous grin.

Did I do something to her? What could I have possibly done to evoke her rage!?

And then about a thousand things came to mind. From not telling her things, to purposefully pranking her over and over again… shit!

Selene grinned. "Alright, see you later." With that said, she left.

But I had a bad feeling about that. A real bad feeling.

Shit indeed.

***

We were finally about to head over to home when I remembered, Marg said she'd be coming at noon and it was noon. Maybe a bit late too.

I gave her a message on my Holo but no response. 

I waited for like five minutes but nothing.

"Maybe she's in the bathroom?" Elsa said.

"Maybe."

I gave mom a message. 

And mom messaged back. "I thought she was with you?"

I started sweating. 

I called Marg, over and over. But the call never went through.

"She never went back home."

I really started sweating. 

'What do I do?'

Search the whole island, wait for her reply, see-

Elsa shook me! "Calm down. Let's first see if she responds. She could have just gone to her mother and doesn't have reception." But even Elsa had a worried look. "Let's go back home first, okay?"

"Okay."

I didn't care if I had to walk through bugs, I didn't care, I just wanted to go home fast. 

With that said, I picked up Elsa and with her on my back, started running. Elsa wasn't that fast of a runner. 

I used every frigging bit of body strengthening I could muster and just ran- faster than ever- for real this time. 

It didn't matter if my belly was full: it didn't matter that I had way too much sugar flowing in my blood. It didn't matter if bugs crawled all over me.

I just wanted to go home.

Elsa gripped me tight and didn't say a thing.

Run. 

Run! 

RUN!!!

It took exactly seven minutes to reach home and, in that time, I felt like a maniac. 

"MOM!" I barged in through the front door. 

Seeing my restlessness Mom and father came to the front door. 

"It's true she didn't come back?"

"Yeah, but what did she say to you before dropping you off?" Father said.

"She had some chores and she'd be back by noon."

But it was already past noon and it was nearing the afternoon, but I'd heard nothing from her and she wasn't picking up the phone either. More like the calls didn't even get through.

"I'll talk with the headmaster- if she's still on the island we'll know," father took his coat and headed for the door. "Don't worry son, she probably has something to do somewhere."

"Meanwhile, let's call her mother and see if she went there." Mom held my hand and dragged me along.

"What if-"

"Stop thinking negative things, would you?" Elsa said. "You two love each other, right? So, trust her. She's not going to just leave you all of a sudden."

"You're right."

I was perhaps just overthinking. But I couldn't stop my thoughts. I couldn't stop the negative thoughts. 

Maybe I'd gotten a bit too attached. 

So, I went to the living and with the central Holo, gave Marg's mom a call. We'd only talked briefly. I was supposed to visit her on the 27th of this month.

Mom and she did talk quite often: they were friends. So, letting mom handle this was probably the better idea. Besides, with my restlessness, talking sane wasn't going to be a thing for me. 

The call started- she picked up.

Mom and Marg's mother exchanged pleasantries and after a minute Marg's mother become a bit suspicious. "Did something happen?"

"You see-" Mom began. "This morning after dropping Helio at school, Marg didn't return home. I'm guessing she didn't go to your place either."

"No, she hasn't. Did you two have a fight?" She stared at me.

"No, nothing." I kind of felt a throbbing pain. I couldn't quite put a lid on it.. "In fact, I thought we were getting along just fine."
