SSHS 108 It was a relatively normal day for the students of the La Florence Academy. Well, that is for the students only, it was a different case for the staff of the school. Though they did their best to not make a fuss about it and attract the attention of the students and create a bigger problem for them to solve. It is better if the conflict remained only to the knowledge of the staff and secretly of those involved. It is a good thing that the school was implementing a whole week off after the exams, as an opportunity for the students to fully relax after those strenuous reviewing and stressful exams. It was also their way of making way for the faculty staff to complete all of the scoring and the encoding of scores and grades of the students— their way of working in an efficient manner so as there will be no delay in any way. And for this, Mr. Ben, the other certified spies (aside from the rookies) involved and also Dean Malcolom were grateful for. In that way, they would be able
SSHS 109 In the midst of the students giggling and eating their meals, some are still watching how Excami was still beating Arthur, and Arthur being the goofy person that he is, continues to pester and piss Excami off. Damian on the other hand, tries his best to calm down his sister and to make her stop beating the hell out of Arthur but inside his mind, he does agree that the Student Council Treasurer deserves such beating and that he knew all too well how his sister acts when she is pissed— only she herself can stop herself and that the calmness will come sooner to her. And so, he just continued to eat while sometimes stopping his sister from landing a fatal blow to Arthur. Then there was Albert who sat beside Arthur, he made it his role to stop Arthur from further fanning the flames in the eyes of the Student Council Auditor. He does so by putting food into Arthur’s mouth from time to time to make him stop talking, or just blatantly covering his mouth. still, it was all in vain as
SSHS 110 "Mom! Dad!" Excami exclaimed as she stood up from her seat and rushed to their parents, with a wide smile on her face and her arms open wide, ready to hug her parents whom she hasn't seen for so long. "My baby!" Mrs. Montague exclaimed too as she welcomed her dear daughter to her arms. Both the female Montague nestled and snuggled to their warm embrace, and if one listened closer, they might hear the faint sound of purring from the two of them. "Hello Excami. I see you are enjoying the food." Their father commented as he could clearly see the residue of spices on her daughter's hands, and knowing his daughter, she must have had two plates already. Then coming towards them was Damian who was calmly walking towards his parents. Instead of open arms, he did an arm shake and a chest bump with his father and then kissed the cheeks of his mother. All in all, it was their way of greeting each other. Others might cringe on the way of their greeting, considering their age, but to them
SSHS 111 The students who felt admiration, inspiration and an intense want for the Montague parents to pay attention to them was so obvious to their eyes as they flocked towards the Montague parents and interacted with them, often sneaking in a few jokes of adoption and whatnot, though it was all laughed about by Mr. Aiden and Mrs. Zephnir— they know what the students are trying to imply. After all, they are not the first ones to do so. Then again, those were the things that the students felt, not Hestia and Albert. They are well aware of the real reason for this relaxation getaway, in any case, the Montague parents, Hestia and Albert all have the same want from this: information. Though the specific information that they want and need to obtain are very much different, it is still the same in the generic sense. “Hello Hestia, and Albert. I heard a lot of things about you from these cutsie gremlins of ours. They are always talking about the two of you.” Mrs. Zehpnir said as sh
SSHS 112Mr. Aiden and Mrs. Zephnir became the life of the party as they continued to converse with the students. Mr. Aiden always throws dad jokes in which the students laugh and entertain about, some were even spewing their own dad jokes. Mrs. Zephnir was surrounded by the girls of the getaway as she shared her secrets and tips into maintaining her beauty and how she got to hook someone like Mr. Aiden from the sea. Of course, Damian and Excami saw nothing harmful to this, they love that their parents get along with the people they usually interact with. But the thing was, they should be the one, the star– the life of the party, them— the Montague siblings— and not their parents. And they knew inside of them that it was time for their parents to go. Before they spew the embarrassing tales of the Montague siblings and damage their prestigious reputation at school. However, they couldn’t say that they are also grateful that their attention was now directed to Arthur and Hestia. We
SSHS 113 After much struggle, the Montague siblings were able to drag their parents away from their and from the group of students. It was a much struggle as it was so hard to keep the eyes of Mrs. Zephnir away from Hestia, and it was the same with Mr. Aiden who was intently staring at Damian and Arthur, his gaze going back and forth. “Come on, we’re just arriving at the exciting part.” Mrs. Zephnir whined to her children as they continued to be dragged away from the porch and into the room that the Montague siblings occupied. Right after the door was locked, Damian and Excami turned to their parents with an intense gaze, it is clear that they were displeased as to how they acted on the porch. “Mom! What was that all about?” Excami exclaimed to her mother, the anger or the ‘gigil’ in her voice was very evident, and yet Mrs. Zephnir just giggled at the actions of her daughter. To the eyes of the matriarch of the Montague family, this is but a little play that parents normally do
SSHS 114 It was the day that they had to return to the school after a week- long rest. It was the day that they will relieve the experiences, the bonding that they had over the rest week. The day of their return, they will know the standing of each other in the societal ladder, they will know how the people around them will treat just based on their overall score of their exam. Aside from all of those, three students were dreading the day that they come back to the school. They are sure that they do not need to worry about their scores since they are known to be achievers, but the incident last rest week was the thing that would put themselves in a tight rope. As the students are flocking all the bulletin boards in the school as they enter the school grounds, these three students were not even bothering to do so— after all, they are indeed aware of their standing when it comes to scores— but they are really doing their best to be stealthy when walking through the corridors and to no
SSHS 115It was… anti-climatic. Normally, in novels or any media that involves spies, missions and undercovers, it was always with the non- stop and packed with action. There was always an explosion somewhere, the anxiety inducing stand- off, the witty banters between enemies and the undeniable chemistry between the leads. But now, it was all the opposite of it all. It was anti- climatic to the point that the normal things that can be seen from a spy novel are nowhere to be found in this place. Although that is what was expected by the two rookie undercover spies as they were called to the office of the Dean, all that happened is that they were informed of the progress of the mission: about the intruder during the Halloween Event and who might be the accomplice from the primary suspects that they have observed. However, when Hestia and Albert were informed of the happenings, it was already over and solved. No further assistance was needed from them nor was there a chasing scene or
