『 Year 12 』

The sun was rising when we arrived home, and too tired to unpack, we all fell asleep as soon as we reached the couch. I was sandwiched between Ryun and Ryec who were both using me as a pillow for their heads, but I was too tired to push them off so I let them be.

It was a little before noon when I woke up again, my shoulders and legs feeling heavy from the weight of the two people. Stifled, I shook them off until I felt the weight disappear and sat up, rubbing my eyes and yawning.

"It seems you're finally awake!" I hear Ryon's voice say. Groggily, I looked up and found him sitting elegantly across from me, casually sipping a cup of tea as he read a book.

Watching him, I somehow felt even less enthused to get up and only responded with a hum.

"What time is it?" I asked him as I glanced over to the two besides me whose mouths were slightly opened and drooling. I grimaced and looked away at the sight.

"It's half an hour until noon." He tells me, his eyes still focused on his book. He then pauses for a moment before looking up and watching me for a moment, as if contemplating something. "Xael called. He said that he'll be here around one. Same with Litheon and Isa, too."

Ah. I'm not surprised by their sudden calls.

"I'll go wash up then." I then got up and grabbed my suitcase, heading to my room. I didn't bother to unpack and instead went straight to my bath. When I had finished, I heard the doorbell ringing.

I hurried down the stairs and found my three closest friends standing at the doorway. Litheon and Isa still seemed to be fighting and Xael who stood in between the two looked horrible exhausted. Despite this, I couldn't help noticing the differences in their appearances.

Xael who used to be of the same height as me was now inches taller, matching Litheon who had already began growing rapidly. On the other hand, Litheon who was lanky and tall was now able to fill his clothes with a more toned and muscular build. Similarly, I had also managed to grow a few centimeters during my time away. The only one who had yet to change was Isa.

As I feared, we were starting the awkward years of our lives.

"Ryn!" Xael exclaimed, his voice sounded a bit awkward, going back and forth between a small, childish voice and a soft, deep voice. Even he seemed to find it strange, his ears turning the slightest bit of pink as he clear his throat. I couldn't help the smile that formed as I stopped myself from laughing at him.

"I'm glad you survived, Xael." I tell him as I lightly pat his shoulder. He could only give a wry smile as he glanced behind his back. Isa and Litheon had quiet down, though they were still making faces at each other.

"Isa. Litheon." I called, making the two jump at my tone. They immediately looked over and lowered their heads sheepishly. I unconsciously sighed.

"Let's go somewhere private." I suggest, to which they all nod in agreement. It was when we were finally in a secluded room did I start to scold the two at odds against each other. It lasted for an hour at most, and during this time, the two didn't dare to lift their heads nor look me in the eyes.

Although I felt bad, someone had to let them know that they were causing problems for those around them—Xael being the number one victim.

"I thought that you two would at least mature a bit while I was gone, but your fighting only seemed to worsen. I really hope that by the time we go back to school, you two will be friendlier towards each other." I tell them, though I had little confidence in that happening. Isa and Litheon nodded obediently after that and my job was finally finished.

Looking over to Xael, I found that his complexion seemed to brighten, relief written all over his face as his eyes bore holes of gratitude into me. I just smiled at him like I always did and gave a nod.

You don't have to suffer anymore, Xael.

Author's note:
Guys! I have met a crisis!
('༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ')
I've been having skin troubles (as if I didn't have enough of them). I started using a cleansing balm that was really well reviewed and I don't know why my skin is so picky. It seems to work for everyone but seems to act like crapolla when it comes to me. I'm just trying to have better skin. (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾
Anyways...I'm trying to set up a discord, but I don't know how long it'll take. I still need to figure out what I want for it to be.
But please answer my questions below this time. It's very important!

Question:
What should I call the server? (Currently it is named 'Brain-washed Paradise' but I don't really like it. What do you readers want to be called?)
What would you guys like to discuss on that server?
And since I'm a noob when it comes to discord, what are some must haves?
