After the assembly, Conrad exited the auditorium with everyone else, looking for familiar faces.
“Hay Conrad,” George Ieatpeople said.
Conrad Teatea and George Ieatpeople had been best friends since three days ago, after both had been dancing to Lady Gaga at the local tavern. While jiggling about, Conrad had caught sight of a rare poisonous butterfly sitting upon George’s head. After George had been stung, Conrad had saved his life by feeding him a healthy banana he carried around in his pocket in case of poisonous bug attacks.
“Oh hay George,” Conrad said.
“So should we be roomies?” George asked.
“No. I mean yes,” Conrad replied.
“Boqay,” George said.
“we need one more person,” Conrad said.
There were exactly 999 students at Supul Academy (counting Gubgub). There were also 333 dorms, each with 3 beds.
Just as ConradNGeorge were looking for a third person, an older student walked by. He was actually skipping, though. Rainbows radiated from his skin, and his hands swayed melodically with his stride.
“Hayhay. Hay everyone. Everyone is beautiful! I love beautiful! Rainbows are fantastic,” he said.
As soon as the strange boy passed Conrad, he froze. The rainbows disappeared.
“Who?” he demanded, in a strange voice that sounded like he was channeling 50 ancient spirits along with it, like a demon.
“You first,” Conrad said.
“I’m Kyle Joy Rainbow Eclaire. I hail from Bunny Haven, and raise ducklings to grow up to be big and cyute,” Kyle Joy Rainbow Eclaire explained.
“Oh boqay. I’m Conrad,” Conrad said.
“I don’t like you,” Kyle said.
“Oh,” Conrad said. “Wanna be roommates?”
“No. I am already rooming with two kittens. Boqay now I have to go knit tutus,” Kyle said.
“Boqay bye,” Conrad said.
“Bye, loser,” Kyle said.
Kyle left.
“Boqay. We still need a third roommate,” George reminded him.
“No duh,” Conrad smiled politely.
Vito Rodent crawled by, his luscious hair completely covering his back.
“N… need roomies,” Vito whispered to himself.
Conrad picked Vito up, though Vito’s limbs continued to scramble around like he was still crawling.
“Boqay we have everyone” Conrad said, safely tucking Vito under his arm.
“OFF! I CAN WALK! WHY DOES EVERYONE DO THAT??” Vito screamed, biting Conrad’s arm.
George managed to find a hidden dorm under a vase display, and the 3 crawled inside.
As they started to unpack, Conrad noticed that Vito was moving his arms around through his thick, amazing hair, as though he was trying to comb it from the inside.
“Vito… Vito?” Conrad asked delicately.
Vito lifted a baby koala from his hair.
“Oh, there you are, Jerry,” Vito said.
Conrad and George were silent.
“Mind if Jerry rooms with us?” Vito asked, his eyes twitching.
Conrad and George were silent.
“Please?” Vito asked.
Conrad and George were silent.
