Of course, her strange behaviour did not go unnoticed by idle eyes. There were two students in particular that caught on to what she was doing, and they were very entertained by the whole spectacle. She was halfway through the window before being approached by two shady figures. She stopped in her tracks when Imoo folded his arms and leant against the wall.

“Why, Lil soul, how nice to see you here! Do us a favour and tell us why you are climbing through the window? Very interesting, wouldn’t you say, Sauda?”

“Interesting indeed.” Sauda chirped in, leaning against the opposite side, placing a hand on her chin. “Why would someone who always uses the door, suddenly feel the need to climb through a window?”

“I just had to avoid the doorway.” Anna said as she managed to scramble her way out and onto the floor. Feet now firmly planted onto the ground, she could finally make her way towards her next class. Or at least that’s what she thought, until the two siblings blocked her path.

Imoo quirked his brow, putting on a confused face. “Why, you allergic or something?” He was purposefully manipulating his voice, making it seem like an innocent question, when in reality he was trying to uncover information.

“I might as well be!” She blurted out. Oh no. Now that she had said that, they were expecting an explanation, the eager look on their curious faces was enough of an indication. “Well no, I’m not. I just hate those things. I don’t like the tradition. it’s all just one big trick, and not the good kind. I’ve never been caught under that parasite, and I don’t intend to.”

A sinister smile spread onto Imoos features. A wicked smirk that couldn’t lead to anything short trouble. The gears in that dark mind of his beginning to turn. He had an idea. Sauda seemed to be on the same wavelength, giving her twin brother a knowing nod. “Wanna bet?”

“No, absolutely not.” The sentence came out more forceful then intended. But the statement still stood. Knowing them, it would probably involve some sort of voodoo even Sam would be afraid to use. No. She learned her lesson from last time not to get involved with these two. Her soul could testify to that.

“That’s a real shame, Anna.” Sauda said, slipping her arm around the girls shoulders and guiding her away from the window. Imoo followed close by her side, linking her arm in his. “Because it seems before the game even began, you already lost.”

Anna stopped walking. She didn’t even need to look up to know what was looming above her head, taunting her like some sick joke. She blinked. Not wanting to accept what was about to happen. Her voice was just above a whisper. “Pardon?”

Imoo clicked his fingers in front of her face, demanding she pay attention. “Pay up, Lil soul.” What was she supposed to do? She could run. That was always an option. But that would just cause even more trouble later on. She could feel her face starting to heat up. She needed to think of something, and fast. That’s when it hit her.

“Hand kisses!” She suddenly exclaimed. “Technically, they count! I can do those, right?” Sauda and Imoo exchanged a look. Technically, she wasn’t wrong. They had never discussed the rules beforehand, so this wasn’t breaking any of them. Sauda agreed to her conditions, while Imoo looked disappointed, he was really looking forward to getting a big flushed reaction out of her. Oh well. This would have to suffice for now.
