Chapter 2
-----------------------Time skip to the friday the same week-----------------------
Home. Finally. This Friday has been exhausting. First a history test though I probably shouldn’t complain since history is like the only subject that I think is ok. Well I do like English as well but mostly just because we get to read and I’m telling you I love reading. My room is literally a library so yeah. After the history test we had a test on physics. Science is nothing for me. Well biology is pretty cool but that doesn’t matter. Since it was Friday we had a very short school day so we only had three classes. My last class of the day was social science. I kind of like social science as well but I’ve never really liked any of the basic school subjects. When I got home I went to the commonfloor. And no one was there except Loki who was sitting in an armchair reading “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov which is a book about a sexual criminal who basically is in jail for raping 12 year old girls. The act of the book is probably why Loki’s expression is so pained and very confused. So I can’t help myself but to tease him a bit.
-Hi Loki! Great book isn’t it. I’ve read it myself. I loved it. (not sarcastic because it really is an amazing book even though it sounds pretty “rough”)
He looks up at me in confusion looking at me as if I’m insane and says:
-Have you read this? This is actually rather disturbing. The worst thing I’ve ever read here at midgard. And you’re just a child and you’ve read this.
I just laugh at him and say
-Don’t worry I’ve read worse, shuddering and thinking about “fifty shades of grey”
Loki’s response is just a look which I’m not sure if I can identify. But I say to him:
-If you want to find a book you can follow me I have almost converted my room to library, like it’s almost insane.
-I would love to Miss Rogers, Loki replies and stands up to follow me up to my room.
The walk is quiet until I ask:
-Hey, where are the others?
-On a mission of some kind, I nod in reply.
I make a sudden stop at my door which loki did not see coming so he walked into me. Ow.
-Fuck! Why did you have to wear your armor. Son of a bitch. Loki just chuckles and I glare at him as I open my door. I hear Loki gasp as he sees the large wooden bookshelves filled with books standing all around the walls of my room. Books are lying around at my nighstand my desk and floors wherever they can fit.
-So what type of book are you looking for? I have nearly everything.
-Uhm I am actually not sure. Recommend me something please.
I hate it when people say that. You have to guess what they like but oh well. I walk over to a bookshelf with all may Rick Riordan books and think about giving him “Percy Jacksson and the lightning thief” but I decide against it and give him “Magnus Chase and the sword of summer”. That book s about norse mythology kind of… The fantasy in the book is taken from legends etc. from norse mythology. I would love to see his reactions on that one and also see if he is like “that is so untrue” at any of the legends. It is like one of my favourite books so I have to have him read it like obviously.
-Now what is this book about? Loki asks me as I hand it to him
-Read and you will find out, I reply.
-Of course, thankyou. Oh by the way I’ve been meaning to ask since I first met you but I have not done so I’m going to ask right now. You have a rather different accent and way to talk from the others would you mind telling me where it is from?
I laugh and reply to his question:
-Yes you are right I have a different accent from the others. I actually have an australian accent. I got a scholarship at a school there which specializes in animals. Obviously australian animals. The scholarship was 3 years of school there.
Loki looked thoughtful when he replied:
-What is a scholarship?
At that I laughed at him and explained what it is.
-When were you there? He asked after I was done explaining.
-I went there when you had come for a friendly visit to “Midgard” as you call it since Steve thought it was unsafe for me to be here. I came back nearly half a year ago.
Loki nodded to confirm that he had heard and then bowed his head before he left me alone in my room with my books.
