Sorceress - Chapter 283

NOTE:

NOT A CHAPTER!!! NOT A CHAPTER!!!

Walking to the counter, he passed the cashier who he used to saw every morning since he started working here

“Good morning!”

Aiden greeted her with a warm smile.

But instead of giving Aiden a glance or at least a smile, the cashier did not even bat an eye and wet on what she always does.

That is to ignore Aiden.

Just like what she always does whenever Aiden walks past her and greeted her every morning in the past couple of months.

Aiden expected that reaction though.

To be honest, it would even come as a surprise to him if the other party greeted him back.

That might be a sign that the end of the world is coming!

No one wants to speak and make friends with a nerd and countryside bumpkin like him.

But so what??? Why bother??

Huh! Who cares? I can leave on my on…

Walking to his station, Aiden saw someone out of the corner of his eye.

“Aye??? Look who is here! Mr. Nerdy why so early?? What’s up?”

While Aiden was busy wearing his apron, a voice sounds out.

Lifting his head, he sees a young man gazing at him with a smiling face. His face didn’t have a hint of warmth and instead, he emits the feeling of a fake smile.

“Oh, hi Clark. Good morning”

Aiden flash him a simple smile and tried to inject some enthusiasm into his voice

Aiden, of course, recognizes him.

Clark’s full name is Clarkson Kent.

He started working in Star Barracks at the same time as he is.

He is just like that typical kind of looser that loves to compare himself to others and bully them if he can and make use of it as a tool to inflate his ego.

Aiden always tries to avoid him like the bubonic plague. But like the bubonic plague, he was also hard to avoid.

Aiden kept his eyes glued somewhere else as he busied himself preparing to his station and making sure that he was wearing his apron nicely.

But Clark still noticed him.

“Hey Nerd, come here and join us!”

Clark yelled as if he was the boss.

Apparently he had this habit of calling other people by his self-made pseudonyms.

Before Aiden could even react, Clark had already approached him and suddenly looped his arm around his neck.

“Join us later on our boys’ night out. This is going to be so much fun”

Clark chirped with a fake sincerity and started pulling Aiden towards his table like a predator dragging its prey back to its lair.

Left with no choice, Aiden relented and followed him.

Since it was still early to start in the morning, Star Barracks is not yet open to business for that day.

That is why Clark and his other workmates still had time to fool around and discussed among themselves about their ‘boys night out’ later that night.

On normal occasions, they barely notice and talked to him. But today, they seemed to be a lot friendlier.

This definitely means that they were either up to no good or there is something that they need from him.

“Hi guys, Good morning..”

Aiden tried greeting them and nervously took a seat among them.

At that time, Aiden can’t help but felt like he was a foreigner entering a hostile country on a day ass.

It was Joey who first breaks the ice as he attempted to make a conversation with Aiden.

“So Aiden, do you have any Halloween plans for the night?”

Ohh?? It is Halloween??? I completely forget that it was.

When Aiden was reminded about the date, he just blinked an eye. But of course, he did not voice out what he was thinking.

Just like Christmas and any other occasions, it seemed that they all just sneaked up in him every year ever since his mother passed away

He no longer worries himself about the dates since there is no difference to what was to him every day, anyway.

Among those people who are living an ordinary life, no one would claim first if he said that he was second

After all, his life is superordinary that no one could be more ordinary than his life already was

“No, I don’t have any exciting plans tonight. But I might watch a scary movie or something….”

Aiden trailed off.

It was only after hearing himself saying that aloud did Aiden realized how an ‘absolute loser’ he sounded.

But he still decided to shrug his shoulder and flash a smile.

‘So what??? What’s wrong about spending Halloween alone with a movie marathon and ice cream at hand??’

Aden assured himself.

Aiden could only hope that Clark and the others will start forgetting that he was there and just continue to talk to themselves just like what they usually do.

So he can sneak back to his station and escaped them.

But that is not the case as another one of his workmates asked him.

“So, do you have a girlfriend, Aiden?”

Clark suddenly burst out laughing.

“Oh good Lord no! I have never seen him with a girl before. I bet he is still a virgin! HAHAHA”

‘Things was going bad to worse now…’

He whispered to himself.

Aiden could feel now that his cheeks were starting to turn bright red. He began to silently pray for the horrible gray carpet to open up and swallow him.

“Nope. I don’t have a girlfriend at the moment..”

Aiden replied awkwardly.

Joey smiled sadly at him and said,

“That is such a shame. You know dude, with a bit of hairstyling and a good outfit. I bet you would look really nice.”

‘Err.. was that a compliment or an insult?’

Before Aden could have a chance to reply, Clark once again waded into conversation with the tact as a bull in a china shop.

“That is one thing that I could never understand about you, Aiden. You always prefer going out looking like that. How are you going to attract some babes and chicks if you will continue being like

that?”

‘Babe and chicks??? No thanks, I don’t have plans to start a poultry business yet..’

That is what Aiden wanted to say but of course, he decided otherwise.

Instead, he stands up and said.

“Okay now, why don’t we start preparing our station now instead of focusing on my nonexistent love life?”

But Clark pulled him back to his seat before he could even getaway.

“No, we should focus on fixing your nonexistent love life. I think you need to be corrupted, Aiden Jones”

“I certainly wish not to be corrupted”

Aiden said sheepishly.

“I think you do, and I know just how. Tonight we are going to a frat house Halloween party and you are going to come with us.”

Clark declared without waiting for Aiden’s consent.
