Mother of Pearl: A Floyd Leech x OC Fanfiction

Chapter 48

The sky was filled with pinks and blues like cotton candy with clouds sprinkled about. The Wendy-girl, in her blue night gown, flew like a bird as she surveyed the island below her.

"FIRE!!" a collective cry came from below. Rocks, sticks, and other makeshift weapons came hurling at her. She was able to move out of the way from getting hit, but she tumbled out of the air.

She started to fall into the woods below headfirst, letting out a terrible scream as she went. The poor girl was headed straight for an outcrop of sharp rocks. As she braced herself for impact, the boy in green flew down and caught her before she hit the jagged stone. He floated down to land on the rocks.

"Oh, Peter! You saved my life!" Wendy happily exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around her rescuer's neck.

"That is all for today's class. You are dismissed," Professor Trein said. We all got up and gathered our supplies.

"Hey Yuu, what are you going to do now?" Ace asked them.

"Hmm? I was going to head to the library for a bit. Why?" Yuu asked him back as Grim went to sit on their shoulder.

"Would you be willing to record my stats for the Basketball Club?" Ace put his hands up in a pleading manner.

"Nope," Yuu started walking away. I covered my mouth to stifle a laugh. I followed them out of the classroom.

Deuce said in shock, "The Prefect just shot you down with no remorse."

"Ehh?! Why not?" Ace ran to catch up to us down the hall.

"Right now, Crowley isn't sending me on some convoluted tasks and I'm not getting dragged into another student's problems," Yuu pointed out. "So! I am going to enjoy the time I have right now the way I want to. Ask Deuce or something."

"I already tried," Ace huffed, "but his club overlaps with mine so he isn't able to help."

"What about Viv? They aren't in a club," Yuu pointed their thumb at me.

Ace and I looked at each other. He asked me, "Would you be able to track my stats, Viv?"

"Wow, I feel so honored to be the third person you ask," I placed a hand over my heart. I saw him roll his eyes at my behavior. I shrugged my shoulders. "Sure thing Ace. I've been bored anyway since I don't have regular tutoring sessions with Riddle anymore."

"Great! Practice is in the gym! Follow me!" Ace excitedly pulled me along.

"Oh, well I guess I'm going now. See you later Yuu and Grim," I waved at my dormmates. As we walked down the halls with a quickened pace. I fiddled with my magic pen behind my ear and asked Ace, "So why are you so keen on getting someone to record your stats?"

"My aim is to become a regular on the team for the tournament coming up, so I want to be able to track my improvement," Ace explained to me on our way there.

"That's actually a good idea. I'm so proud," I pinched his cheek.

"Ick, stop acting like some middle-aged lady!" Ace swatted my hands away.

"I am not some old lady!" I snipped at him a bit too quickly.

Ace sighed, "Besides, it wasn't my idea. A senior on the team mentioned it. I honestly don't know what you're supposed to track."
