Lotte Chapter 13
"Times of Crisis"
(Greenhill)


Lotte walked pasted the student with ease. After that major incident that had to do with changing people into frogs Lotte finally learned her lesson. She knew that if Teresa found out what she did, she knew that she could get Expelled or even kicked out of Greenhill for good. Lotte would never want that.

In the distance Lotte saw Ayame. She walked over to her and greeted her.

"Hey Ayame! How are you today?" asked Lotte

"Fine I guess..." Ayame said

"Fine...? You don't look fine? Are you sure you're okay?"

"No...I'm not feeling to well I feel very sick"

"Sick? There you should be is in bed!"

"No, I can't go back to bed, I have a major test today"

"So? You're sick? Look if you want I'll tell Miss Jeane that your not feeling well and that you can take the test tomorrow"

"All right then Lotte"

"Just for today, I'll be your helper!"

"Er...my helper? Oh no..."

"Please!!! I'll take good care of you! Just please let me help you get better!!!"

"Er...I don't think Emilia would like that"

"Oh well , what she doesn't know, can't hurt her"

Ayame walked back to her room and asked Lotte to get her homework. Lotte nodded and ran into the building. Lotte ran up and down the halls trying to find Miss Jeane to tell her that Ayame was gonna be away and that she couldn't take the test.

With Lotte's luck she found Jeane shuffling around the room getting ready for the big test her student had to take. Lotte knocked on the door.

"Come in..." Jeane said softly "What can I do for you?"

Lotte smiled at her "Um well one of your students Ayame Lei she is sick and she wanted me to take the test to her..."

"Ayame Lei? All right here you are by the way are you the little girl who turned half the school into frogs?"

"Heh yeah.."

"Oh just asking"

Jeane handed Lotte the ten-page test. Lotte looked at it in shock.

"I'm gonna have to take this test later" she sighed

Lotte thanked Jeane and then headed back to the dorms. Back at the dorms Lotte saw Michalle working hard as usual.

"Morning Michalle" greeted Lotte "I need you to put this is Ayame's mail box she told me that she would be coming down later to pick up her test and homework"

"All right Lotte, no problem" Michalle said

"I should be back with the rest of her homework in about ten minutes" Lotte rushed to say "Bye!"

Lotte ran out the door and bolted toward the front desk. With her luck Emilia's replacement was at her desk. Lotte stood at the desk and waited to get severed.

"Rossco! I need you to give me all of Ayame Lei's homework please!"

Rossco handed Lotte the sheet that told what classes Ayame had today.

"All right I got the stuff from Jeane, now to the Appraising Class"

Lotte walked down the hall and then walked into room 101 , the appraising class room. The teacher's name was Ms. Luna Nightshade and she was a master appraiser. Lotte knocked on her door and walked into the room.

"Hello Ms. Nightshade? Are you here?" Lotte called

Ms. Nightshade appeared and then demanded to know what Lotte wanted.

"I need to pick up Ayame Lei's homework" replied Lotte

"Oh all right" said Ms. Nightshade

Ms Nightshade handed Lotte two heavy books on 'Vases and rare artifacts'. Lotte stared at the book and gagged. She didn't know how Ayame was able to do all this work.

"Ayame needs to write a forty page report on twenty of the vases in this book, due in two weeks"

Lotte's jaw dropped "Forty page report? Twenty vases? Holy crap!"

Lotte walked slowly out of the room and headed back to the dorms. Lotte walked funny toward the dorms, she was in pain due to the two heavy books that had to be as long as 'War and Peace'. Lotte finally walked backed into the area. Michalle rushed over and took the books from her.

"Holy crap Lotte! How much more work does she have to do?" said Michalle

"A lot, I have to go to her other classes and pick up more work"

"Heh...all of that must have came from Ms Nightshade, she tends to go over board when it comes to homework..."

"I'm glad I don't have her as a teacher; By the way is Ayame gonna be okay she wasn't feeling well this morning..."

"She'll be okay, just give her time...It seems as if she is not sick but she has a major headache"

"oh...Well I'm gonna go see her now, so I might just take all her homework up to her"

"All right then Lotte, Heh I won't tell Emilia that you skipped classes to help Ayame"

"Gee thanks a bunch Michalle!"

Lotte grabbed Ayame's homework and then trudged up the stairs with a lot of heavy textbooks and a list of what she had to do. The books were so much weight in Lotte's small hands that she ended up dropping half of the pile of stuff she had to take up the stairs. Lotte was pissed, she then walked slow down the stairs to pick up what she had dropped.

Finally she was able to get up the stairs no problem, she then walked into their room and dropped the books on the floor.

"Whoa is that all my homework" said a weak Ayame

"Yeah it is, Heh Ms Nightshade went over board and gave you so much" Lotte whined "I had fun trying to take this all the way up the stairs"

"Heh...she always does so it's not that bad"

"Grr I wish I was sick..." whined Lotte some more "then it's no test or homework"

"No homework? Lotte you still get it weather you like it or not, and besides I'm not sick I'm just having a major headache and now my arms and body are weak"

"Well still it would be better then going to school, I didn't know that it was that hard!"

"Well you didn't ask Lotte" Said Ayame as she sat up and patted Momo.

Lotte sat down on her bed and looked at the walls. She then looked at Ayame who was busy studying for her Rune test. Lotte hated school and schoolwork, but she wanted to make friends and learn to stay in one place. It was hard for her to make friends due to her strange past of being a mystic and after she changed half the school into frogs. Her dream was to become a famous magician who would seek tasks and perform for little children.

Lotte turned her head and watched Ayame. She looked pale, this was a little more then a headache. Ayame finally gave up and dropped the books on the floor. Lotte freaked, as Ayame collapsed on to the floor. Lotte rushed over to her aid. Lotte looked at her.

"She must have fainted for no reason or something just triggered her to do that" Lotte thought "Strange..."

Lotte rushed down the stairs and grabbed Michalle's arm.

"Michalle! Something bad happened!!! Come!!" Lotte yelled as she grabbed Micahlle's arm and dragged her up the stairs.

"Wha..?" Michalle said looking puzzled

Lotte grabbed her and rushed her up the stairs, then the ducked into Lotte's room. Michalle freaked out! Lotte looked at Ayame again.

"What happened Lotte???" Michalle asked panicking

"Well she was studying and then all of a sudden she ended up crashing on the floor!"

"Well she looks pale...The poor girl probably doesn't even know what is going on...Poor Ayame" Michalle moped

"We need a doctor now! Michalle can you go get one?"

"On my way, Lotte" Michalle said running out the door.

Lotte sat beside her sick friend, and she was panicking. She had no idea what to do at all. She was worried about Ayame so much, she didn't even know what was wrong with her. Lotte picked her up and put her back in her bed. Unsure of the problem, she waited for Michalle to return. Lotte sat there, in the chair beside her bed and waited. Michalle hadn't returned. Lotte sighed and waited for awhile longer, till finally she got up from her chair and left her room.
