"...Huuu....." Agatha deeply sighed and tried to calm her tense nerves. Afterward, she focused her eyes on her steps since she was currently climbing up a long staircase. The staircases in the academy were child's play compared to the one in this mansion. Her pair of stilettos were no jokes too, so it would be a complete tragedy once she slips or tumbles down. Paul was not with her this time so there would be no one to help her up or prevent her from falling. In short, she had to be extra careful. When she finally stepped into the second floor, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, that vanished when her eyes unconsciously passed by the right wing. There, the busy maids and house-helpers tidying the accursed room didn't escape her notice. Agatha's lips twitched a little when she remembered just exactly what caused this house-helpers to frown, and for that short while, she didn't know what to think. "Baby?" She took back her eyes from the right side and met the gaze of P
A dumbfounded look crossed Maurice's beautiful face, instantly replacing the bored one she had a second ago. This testified to the shock she felt after hearing the notification. Not long after though, she immediately turned back to normal and disinterestedly asked, 'That girl banned me from obtaining any intel from you? When did she?'Instead of getting pissed at the answer, the woman only went silent for a while and then laughed. Afterward, she shrugged her shoulders like the shocked face she made earlier was nothing but an illusion. 'Oh? Great! She's made a nice move. At least I won't be up against a brainless host.'Maurice's hand reached out to the shower gel on her right. She was being drenched in water under the shower. While washing up, she also recalled the news reported just a while ago. Her eyes then twinkled in amusement as she thought, 'It seems she wants to show me she's not someone I can easily crush?''...I really want to laugh at her face. Can't she realize, she's
He didn't know when it all started.He didn't know when the fair skinned doll-like little girl always laughingly playing with him under the tall mango tree of his home's backyard started to become so distant. He was not given any sign.One day, he just found her distancing herself to him. He was allowed to see her, stay with her, but it was very obvious to his eyes which never left her figure. She was trying hard to hide her thoughts and heart from him. She was no longer the same. Or probably she was still the same to everyone. But no longer to him.Since the moment he realized this truth, he began thinking to himself what had gone wrong... If he had done something wrong. That time, he didn't know what caused all of their closeness, promises, and happiness belonging to themselves turned into mere delusions of his. He just knew that the sudden change was scary and baffling.Honestly, he was deeply hurt too. The young him couldn't accept that his childhood sweetheart just suddenly bec
It was another Monday morning. As he stood under the usual spot, the mango tree which was probably the last witness of 'them' that he failed to bring back, the playful rays of the sun kissed the smooth skin of his gloomy face. Due to this, he had to end his daydreaming, open his eyes, then move one of his hands to shield them from the glaring light.He was currently on the campus, to be exact, the first year junior high block. Few people were around as it was still very early. At least, there were still about forty minutes before the flag ceremony and first classes. Since today's Monday, many students would be late, a consequence of enjoying their weekends too much. This worked to his advantage though as being seen by many people never registered on his plan.He approached the tree and crouched down. After that, he stared closely to one of the odd surfaces of the lower trunk and ran his right forefinger on it.There were words on it. To be precise, there were letters inscribed usin
Misty frowned at his answer but Eithan couldn't care anymore so he stepped to the side and tried to bypass her. Sadly, the pretty campus idol appeared not done with him yet and prevented him from leaving. This gained a cold look from him but another sadly, Misty seemed not one bit intimidated. It annoyed him though. At times like this, he couldn't appreciate the girl's outstanding persistence as it was very bothersome for him."What more?" he coldly asked, irritation welled up in his eyes but it was due to the annoying thing blabbering in his head.Unfazed by his attitude, Misty said, "You're acting too cold. I was just being concerned but this is how you treat me. That's bad. Truly. Aren't I someone acquainted with you at the least? Hey, remember," she then paused and jokingly added, "...we already had a date before. We even rode your bike when you sent me home?"He suddenly felt a severe headache due to the nonstop talking of the foreign alien in his mind. It greatly dampened his moo
From the current looks of it, the system has everything to do with Misty's confusing attitude. Sadly, its host that was trying to entice and impress seemingly didn't appreciate its information at all. Or maybe he did, for the part where the annoying girl was not intentionally being annoying, and also to where it said those hosts could actually do unscientific things to other people. It was not clear whether it was caused by the self-proclaimed system or Misty, but his already dark expression even got gloomier to the point the temperature was also dropping around him.If anything, Eithan was displeased. Whether the system or that host who played with him and made him remember some, he couldn't just have any good impression and was more reluctant to agree with this devil-like thing. If being a host means doing all sorts of shameful and immoral things to oneself and to others, then he'd gladly pass on it. This devil which completely like a scamming bastard could go to hell with his bank
For Misty Gomez, the whole morning of the new Monday was not really eventful but still nice. The School Fest had just concluded so not many teachers lectured today, most faculty members were concerned on the cleanup or pointers to review for the semestral final exams on Thursday and Friday. If the teacher was more inclined to do the latter, then it means students would be left to revise their reviewers by themselves. As if students would obediently do that!Naturally, since a revision session means no teachers would be around, the students could freely chatter the period away and not write the pages worth of summaries. It was around 11:25 am when someone from the student council called for Misty. That time, the girl was busy laughing along with her friends about a socialite girl that pooped naked in one of the rooms at a party. She was totally having fun discussing the comments in FB so when someone wanted to call her away, she was reluctant to part with her gossipmates. Sadly, she wa
It was finally four in the afternoon, all the classes for this Monday ended and the students were dismissed. Unfortunately, Eithan was one of the cleaners for the day so he had to stay and helped out in one of his most hated chores - floor waxing. He didn't know what kind of bad luck struck at him today but even after fulfilling his assigned role, the Monday committee leader made him carry all the cleaning tools back to the storage room by himself. The leader reasoned out they would be the ones to arrange the armchairs and tables back in. In the end, he could only blame himself for not going that extra mile to skip the remaining classes."Let me help you!"It was right amidst the flight of stairs headed towards the ground floor that a girl with wavy long hair stood in his way and said this. A dazzling smile...was not on her face, instead, she still looked like someone commanding her underling. "Consider it my apology, so let me help."'If you want to offer a hand, why just when that
