Justice! According to PT

“The name is… and you have to promise to keep this a secret till your dying days okay?” She looked around, to make sure no one was listening, “It’s… Panchali.”

It’s not as if Pan hated her name, in fact she adored her name. The problem was everyone else just looked at her funny, whenever she mentions her real name. And it wasn’t even that kind of mocking funny look. It was more of, hey she has a weird name, but you can’t say it’s funny so don’t look at her that way, and it all ends up being a curious as well as pitying?

Sometimes, that’s even more offensive.

"Well gosh," Peter reddens slightly, "nobody's put it that way." A prince eh? Heh. Not bad. Not bad at all. But then again.. she said "mature" Prince and it made PT think of Prince Charles' sizeable ears; not the kind that rides a fiery steed and wields a magical sword.

He beamed at Panchali's name though. "Why are you keeping that name a secret!" he smiled widely. "Panchali is such an interesting name, I wish I can swap with you! No kidding! I've once thought Patrick was such a common name, when I was younger, I would write Scissorbrook or Machismopirate in my kindergarten stuff. Well.. "attempt" was more like it. Too many vowels, you know? So... I guess that's another reason for P.T." he laughed.

Both Panchali and PT walked along the quiet road, with him following Panchali's lead. After a while of chatting, PT began to realize that the houses were starting to look awfully familiar.

Conjoined with five hips? Wow, that would be like a human centipede. Oh, don’t watch that movie. It’s creepy.

I’ll keep that in mind. I haven’t watched a movie rated over PG-13 in years, and I try to stay away from the creepy ones. I’m frightened easily.

I still think your notion that studying links directly to illness is ridiculous. But you might actually be right this time. Might.

Also...

I’m sneezing so much that it’s starting to become embarrassing.

“Nice to meet you, PT” she replied offering her free hand for a shake, “Now is that your full name? Cause, you see, mine’s a nickname too!”

“I’ll tell you mine, if you tell me yours,” she said, lowering her voice in a conspiring whisper.

..But then again, what are the chances of meeting the pretty stranger again? And he gotta admit, he was dead curious to find out her name as well. He didn't really have a particular reason why.. It was just his nature.

PT decided there was no harm. "Well, my real name's Patrick." he said, almost at a whisper. "But only my closest friends call me that." he grinned. He hoisted the books on his arm and prepared for the journey. PT hoped the woman's house will be less than a hundred steps off. He decided it would be ungentlemanly to faint.

“I’m so sorry for bumping into you though,” she said as she quickly gathers her things, “I’m glad you’re okay.

She peered at him. He seemed quite young, must still be in highschool by the looks of him. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but he seemed like the type of guy who would grow up and break a few hearts in the future.

She smiled, reminded of another guy that could break hearts.

“I’m Pan by the way, what’s you name?”

The woman smiled and introduced herself.

"Hmm.. To pleasant to be a witch." he blushed slightly.

Or maybe!

Maybe if PT happened to open the books, he will undoubtedly find it hollowed and cut-out, a tommy gun stashed in between the pages. That's why the books are so heavy! For the woman is in fact, Britain's number one Spy: Code named "Tigerlily", and she is infiltrating the town for a Russian Drug Syndicate that have hoisted themselves in their peaceful town! (*insert Panchali in skin-tight leather catsuit*)

"AHA!" he cried, flipping over one of the books. There was no gun, but some miniscule text in a serif font. There was a picture of a doctor in one of the pages and a bold text said "Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Signs and Symptoms"

PT's ears grew red. "I-- I'm PT. You can call me.. uh.. PT." he said awkwardly. "Why don't I walk you home, Miss? Your books are awfully bulky."
