22. Girl Talk
“So, it’s been a while since I last heard about Arthur. Why?” Gwen asks with a teasing smile and Merlin scowls.
Gwen had arrived from France a few days ago and the two girls were catching up. Merlin was lazing out on the bed while the dark-skinned girl were sitting on the floor, one of Merlin’s new books open on her lap.
“He’s a jerk. A total and utter jerk!” Merlin huffs, crossing her arms over her chest and Gwen just roll her eyes.
“What now?”
“We were watching a horror movie and the dumbass thought it would be funny to give me a fright. I blew up the damn TV!”
Apart from Susan and Gaius, Gwen was the only other person who knew about Merlin’s magic.
“He didn’t know, Merlin.” Gwen reasons. “Besides, I thought you were pretty much immune to horror movies now. What were you watching?”
Merlin blushes slightly and mumbles something under her breath.
“I didn’t catch that.” Gwen says but there is an amused smirk in her lips. She guesses what the answer is.
“The Exorcist, alright!?” Merlin replies loudly, a little annoyed and pouting. “We were watching The Exorcist.”
“Then everything is totally your fault.” Gwen says matter-of-factly. “You know you can’t watch that movie. Remember that time with Will and the Ming vase?”
Merlin flinches at the memory, eyes squeezed shut as she nods. She remembers very well.
Gwen nudges her shoulder, making Merlin look down.
“Are you going to talk to him?” Merlin sighs.
“Maybe.” Gwen shoots her a stern look. “Alright! I will! Don’t give me that look!”
“Good!”
Gwen grins brightly at Merlin before jumping her feet.
“Now come, I wanna go to the mall.” Merlin groans.
“I said I’d talk to Arthur; why do you want to torture me?”
Gwen just rolls her eyes at her complaint before grabbing Merlin’s hand and pulling her to a standing position.
“Come on! It will be fun. Besides, you need a back-to-school wardrobe.”
Merlin frowns and glances down at her outfit: Metallica T-shirt, faded jeans and All Star sneakers.
“What’s wrong with the one I currently own?”
Gwen rolls her eyes again.
“You know, sometimes I wonder if you shouldn’t have been a boy instead of a girl.”
Merlin just grins following Gwen outside. If the girl only knew the truth.
