"Master Eriol, dinner is ready!" Akizuki Nakuru shouted at the top of her lungs from the kitchen.
I got up from my study table and closed my Algebra book. If I don't get down within 60 seconds, my setvant will surely fetch me in my room.
And I don't want that to happen.
She cannot!
I put off my lampshade.
"Hey, switch it back!" complained high-pitched female voice certainly not Nakuru's.
I did as told and glanced warily at my unexpected visitor who just arrived exactly 14 minutes and 15 seconds ago, but had turned my 14 turning 15 years of existence in this world around.
"I'm afraid of the dark," she explained, flipping her silky ebony hair behind her shoulders.
I sat up on my bed exasperated. "Then the whole house will know that someone is here with me!"
She tipped her chin with her finger. "Hmm..you're right!" She floated around the room, trails of lavender fabric in different shades kissing the floor of my bedroom. "What are you having for dinner tonight?"
"Roast beef and salad, I guess," I shrugged.
"Can you bring the leftover to me? I'm hungry and I haven't eaten for the last 2 centuries and a half!" she said melodramatically.
She wasn't exagerrating. She meant every word she said.
"I'll take a bath while you eat, ok?" She passed directly through the solid walls of my bathroom. "Can you imagine not being able to take a bath for 250 years? Ugh!" she complained, her voice echoing in the lavatory.
I had no choice but to abandon the room when I heard Nakuru's footsteps going to my room.
For the time being, I musn't let anyone of my housemates know that I'm keeping a supernatural being- a genie - in my room.
