Two Paths Meet

“Do I really have to go there just to get it back,” Ren asked the king. The king of the dead laughed and said, “Well if you don’t then you won’t have a notebook and then you’re no good to me. So you know what will happen to you.” Ren nodded and walked away thinking, ‘why did I have to lose that damn notebook now I have to go to the human world… damn it.’

“Hey Alex, you want to come over. My mom’s out of town for the weekend and I was thinking of having a party,” Brandon said to her. She looked at him and said, “Oh I’m sorry I can’t I have a lot of studying to do this weekend and a report for my child care class, maybe next time.” He nodded and walked away, so she walked home.
On the way home she found a black leather notebook with the word ‘Ren’ on the front of it so she picked it up and looked inside to see if it belonged to anyone she knew. But when she looked inside she found people’s names and times like an address book. She looked up for the notebook at took a step back it shock at what she saw. It was a monster or so she thought. She was going to scream but the monster put one finger over its mouth, which meant to be quiet so she was, and then it pointed to her to keep walking so she did.
When she was away for anyone that could hear her, the monster said, “If you would like I could change my image so that it is more normal to your taste.” She didn’t even look at the monster out of fear she just nodded. She then just waited there and didn’t turn around. “You can turn around now if you like and tell me if my look is more normal to you” it said. So slowly she turned around and looked at it. And she was blown away, it looked just like a human guy; he had brownish-red hair with a black strip, blue eyes and was just a little taller than her. “You know as you humans say it’s now nice to stare.” She looked down and said, “I’m sorry… um… I don’t know your name.”

“My names Ren and what’s your name” Ren asked. She looked at him and said, “My names Alex, and I’m sorry Ren.” He just looked at her, she had dark brown hair at shoulder length, brown eyes, and she was just a little shorter than his human form. “It’s alright its more my fault, if I would of got here sooner you would of not got my notebook and you would of not seen my” he told her. She just looked at him in confusion. “So what you’re saying is that the only reason I can see you right now is because of this notebook with your name on it?” she asked. He nodded and said, “yes and you are the only one so it looks like you’re talking to yourself right now so I would keep it down.” She nodded and said, “So why does this notebook let me see you and can others see you if you wanted them to?” he looked her in the eyes and said, “It’s my notebook and as you should have figured out I’m not human and yes other people can see me if I wanted them to, but we are I a public place right now and people think you’re talking to yourself so before I answer any more questions we should go somewhere more privet.” She nodded and said, “Ok I was going to go home anyways and my parents are at work till very late so we can go to my house.” He nodded and followed her to her house.

When she go to her house she turned her head to see if Ren was still there and he was, so she went inside and he followed. She looked at him and said, “Um I’ll be right back I have to put my things up or my parents will be suspicious when they get home.” He nodded and said, “I’ll come with you, because if I’m going to be here awhile then I might as well get to know the place.” She was confused at first then just nodded and walked to her room.
When she walked into her room put her things drown and sat on her fluffy dice chair and looked at Ren. “So what do you thing about my room?” she asked him. He looked all around then looked back at her. “It’s a nice room, so I guess you like blue then because almost everything is blue.” She smiled and said, “Well yes I like blue but my favorite color is black.” She looked down at the floor the back at Ren and asked, “so what did you mean that if you are going to be here for a while?” he then smiled and said, “well Alex, since I didn’t get my notebook back in time before you got it, I am now bound to how ever the notebook belongs to and it will be yours it you die. So I’m going to be here for a while.” She was shocked ‘bound to her’ was he really? She had never before had someone or something bound to her forever. Well there wasn’t much she could do know. “Well ok then… Have you ever thought of going to human high school, because if you’re going to be around I can’t talk to you when no one can see you, I’ll end up in a loony-ben.” He just looked at her in a shocked look like it was a sin what she just said. “Well I could but I don’t have anyone to sign me into a human school I have no parents,” he told her. She just smiled and said, “Why don’t you just do that change thingy and be a dad or something and enlist in high school, but you will need a picture to show them so they will know what you look like when you go tomorrow.”

Ren just looked at Alex like she was crazy. She was not even talking to him anymore, more just to herself. She was describing what his new life was going to be. He was wishing now that he would have never lost the notebook in the first place. “So what do you think?” she asked him. “About what?” he asked. She fronded at him and said, “about going to school with me.” He breathed out at said, “Well I might as well since I’m going to be here for a while.” She smiled at him and went over to her desk and got her camera. “Well you might want to make it where everyone can see you, because I won’t be able to tell. So you can have the picture you’ll need.” He nodded and said, “Ok you can take the picture.” She nodded and took the picture. Then he watched her go over to her desk and sits down and get onto her computer. She did some things and then printed something and handed it to him. It was the picture of him and he just looked at it and he was surprised because he had never seen his human form.

“So are you going to stay here or what because I have an extra bed for friends when they come over,” she told Ren. He nodded to her and she pulled the bed from under hers and looked at him. “So do you sleep like humans do?” She asked. He looked at he and said, “Well I don’t but in my human form I need 2 to 3 human hours of sleep.” She nodded and sat on her bed because it was getting late and she was getting tried. He looked at her and she yawned. He smiled and said, “But on the other hand you need at least 7 to 8 hours so you might want to go to sleep. There will always be tomorrow for more questions.” She smiled at him with a sleepy smile and nodded. Then laid down and went to sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

7:30 a.m. The alarm went off in Alex’s room. She raised her head up and looked at the clock. “What its 7:30 oh my god I’m going to be late for school.” She was going to get up but she saw the second bed pulled out. Then everything from the day before can back. “Ren did my alarm clock go off at 6:30?” she asked. “Yes, why?” he asked her. She looked at him and said, “So why didn’t you wake me, I am going to be so late. Oh my god I have to change… um… you stay here I’ll be right back.” She grabbed some clothes and ran out of the room to the bathroom.
When she came back Ren was just sitting in her computer chair and her beds were made and all her homework and her books were in her bag. “Thanks… Oh my god I forgot to do my homework” she to herself. “Don’t freak I did it late night I was up and I had nothing to do and you forgot” he told her. “Thanks again…” she put her shoes on and grabbed his picture and her bag. Then grabbed his hand and said, “come on you might not be in school yet but I am and I can’t be late”

After running all the way to school she went to class and Ren changed and headed to the office. She was never late before and she was not going to be late today. She ran to her locker and got everything for class and ran to class. She made it into the class as the bell range and she let out a breath. “Well miss Alex since you have just joined us in time I have something for you to do. I need you to go to the office and welcome a new student that will be joining are class and when you get back he will be sitting be you” Mrs. Red
