《INVITE ME ROUND》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Your mother and your father spent a whole week with you and Gabriel in Barcelona, Spain.
Despite the fact that your semester break is still far away, your parents couldn't resist. And neither could you.
In addition, holidays with Gabriel have always been particularly entertaining and enjoyable.
Gabriel had his eye on a handsome Spaniard.
His tanned skin and his contagious smile made Gabriel crushing for many days.
The spontaneous trip helped you to get a little time out from your currently stressful everyday life.

"Detention," a hand clutches yours, pulling you out of the cafeteria and into the hallway. Confused and disoriented you try to follow so as not to lose your arm.
"Seriously? Didn't you say that I should stay away from you?" You laugh and smirk at the same time when you see Rina's mother standing in front of you.
You take a moment to study her. She's breathing fast,
her facial expression looks the same as always. The gaze is deadlier than Voldemort's, but far more beautiful. There is an endless emptiness in her eyes. This woman is so out of place at this school.
"You've been gone a whole week!" she says dramatically.
"Did you miss me or why are you exaggerating? How do you even know?" You raise your eyebrows seductively up and down, but she doesn't answer.
"Come on, I'm in a hurry." You roll your eyes and try to free your hand from her grip.
"Do you think you'll just get away with it?" she says more calmly.
This woman is the queen of mood swings.
"I had a good time in Barcelona.
Look at my skin.", excitedly you hold your other arm in front of her face to show her the light tan that has spread over your skin.

"We lay on the beach and we sunbathed every day. I even fell asleep once, I think it was Tuesday. Nobody woke me up and when I woke up I saw a child in the water.
It was screaming and I thought it was just laughing, but actually it was drowning and-"
"Y/n,"
"Huh?" You blinked several times, realizing you talked too much again.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm actually still mad at you, Lilybeth. But I just wanted to show you how awesome it is to have vacation every now and then. I realized that I missed it.
What about you? Where do you like to go on vacation? Most likely not in the sun because you seem like...
I'm convinced that you-", you cover your mouth to avoid saying anything else that might hurt her.
At the sight of her fair skin you still wondered if this woman was ever on vacation. Well, probably in Siberia or Antarctica.
You screwed it up and it couldn't get any worse anyway so why didn't you just kiss her?
A strange scene flashed through your head and your mouth fell open as you realized what you were thinking.
"You just have such fair skin..." you mumbled desperately, looking up at her angry face.
"Which, by the way, isn't a bad thing, I think fair skin is very beautiful." You said so fast you had to gasp.
A faint smirk fled from her lips, and the corners of your mouth formed a surprised, relieved smile before that faded again.
"I'm still mad at you, just so you know. I walked home alone all night." You looked up into her eyes, searching for pity.
But after she gave you a are-you-serious look, you looked down at the floor in embarrassment.

"Well, I might was able to make it home in half an hour. But it was very cold on the way home. And I didn't get a coat from you so-" you trailed off when you realized she was still holding your hand.
By now you were so nervous that your hand was sweating and you couldn't stop.
"Erm..."
She followed your gaze but looked up just as quickly as she looked down when she heard someone call out.
"Lilith, there you are!", a tall man came towards you approaching you with big strides.
"Right, Lilith," you whispered, remembering her name again.
His face seemed frivolous and his head small, which didn't match the rest of his body at all.
Before you could break free from Lilith's grip, which by the way wasn't possible as she was still holding you, the man gave her a big hug, while your arm was swept along and you looked like you would doing the Ardha Chandrasana pose. Yoga is not as easy as it looks.
"You two know each other?"
He smiles.
"Yes," you heard Lilith's voice as you said no.
"So yes and no?" He looked skeptical without losing his smile.
"An old friend of my parents," you said quickly, receiving an odd look from Lilith.
"I don't think we both know each other at all. I'm Mr. Black, I teach PE.", he offers you his hand and you give him a fist bump to avoid him coming into contact with your sweaty hands, which Lilith almost crushed.
"Y/n, I'm very pleased," you tried to smile. He looked at you for a while, which was so uncomfortable that you lowered your gaze to his dark blue sneakers.
"Unfortunately we have to go,"
"Yes," you heard Lilith's voice and looked up again.
"Forget the detention," she said before leaving with him.
"Hey! Wait...can we catch up?"
She turned her head back, which you didn't expect. She rolled her eyes in amusement before turning back to the front.
That was a no.

Katalepsis
For Heather Morell, nightmares and hallucinations lurk around every corner, relics of schizophrenia and childhood bereavement. Until she meets Raine and Evelyn, that is — self-proclaimed bodyguard and bad-tempered magician — and learns she’s not insane at all. The spirits and monsters she sees are all too real, the god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her how to surpass human limits, and her twin sister who supposedly never existed could still be alive, somewhere Outside, beyond the walls of reality. Heather plunges into a world of eldritch magic and fanatic cultists, trying to stay alive, stay sane, and deal with her own blossoming attraction to dangerous women. But being ‘In The Know’ isn’t all terror and danger. Sometimes the monsters wear nice dresses and stick around for afternoon tea. Sometimes you find you have more in common with them than you think. Perhaps this is Heather’s chance to be something more than the defeated husk she’d grown up as, to find real friendship and meaning among things like herself - and perhaps, out there on the rim of the possible, to bring her twin sister back from the dead. Katalepsis is a Ancient Greek word which means ‘comprehension’, or perhaps more accurately, ‘insight’. Katalepsis is a serial web novel about cosmic horror and human fragility, urban fantasy and lesbian romance, set in a sleepy English university town. New chapters are currently posted once a week, on Saturdays. This is a Royal Road mirror of Katalepsis' own website, located here, currently updated at the same time with a new chapter every Saturday.
