SSHS 231 Suddenly, Hestia was frozen in her spot, even though she had been standing still at that time. If she was not able to control her emotions and expressions, she might have shown the Senior Cheerleader what she has been thinking all along. It is a good thing that she had those areas under control, and yet, the hair at the back of her neck rose up at the tension and the feeling of dread that she was having at that time. Remaining calm, Hestia looked towards the Senior Cheerleader who was beside her. Freya’s gaze was frightening--- on the perspective of a normal person: her eyes were wide open, she was frowning and the look of anger and rage were very visible and reflecting to her eyes--- her face was that of a terrifying painting. Such a staring contest would have continued if not for the sound of the elevator door opening. Once the doors opened, it was as if Hestia saw Freya flip a switch inside her. From being a frightening lady and back into her swee
SSHS 232 The story of how Freya Tolentino was able to obtain the Pandora’s Box was quite an adventure. Although it was nothing like an exploration in a jungle or an encounter with the mafia, and not even being kidnapped by the goons of the Underworld. The way that she discovered that the Pandora’s Box exists was a result of a mere curiosity that she had when she was young. Being born in an Asian household as she had, it means that everything is a competition. Whether it be in physical, academics or any field there is, everything is about competition. Everyone was trying to one up each other.
SSHS 233 As such is the nature of an Asian household, and due to the generational practice, it was never questioned at all. They accepted it as the truth, the normal and the norm that exists in their circle and tradition. Even if there are those who try to break from the norm that exists, it is still hard to flush it out of their system and mindset. But there are those who are successful. Like those of Freya’s parents. Her parents were adamant to remove themselves to the toxic environment, and so they relocated in another country where her father owned an airline. A successful one. Freya is indeed lucky to be born with parents with the likes of them, and so, Freya was able to grow up without the toxic environment and live freely as she deemed it be--- it is true that there are still supervision of her parents--- but she was lucky nonetheless. With the opportunity present in her palms, Freya and her parents, let her curiosity flourish to the depth that it can reach. There are t
SSHS 234 Once they were at the safety and privacy of Albert's dorm room, the two rookie undercover spies then began sharing the recording to the server of the ISO. Some listened to it and some tried to skim it as if there was a hidden meaning. But to the two rookie undercover spies, there is no hidden meaning at all only that there is a pattern. Such pattern is that all of their missions has been anti climatic so far. The only thing that contains action in them where the gunfights, the cross fires, and the need to save the helpless; so far there was nothing at all only the anti climatic things that his happening.
SSHS 235 But then again, it is better for it to be inti- climatic as it is the nature that their missions should be done: in doscreet, silent and with minimal or without the attention of the public at best. Lest they want to have a whole fiasco, to which will result to a total failure and has the huge possibility of revealing the existence of the ISO to the whole world, then they might as well announce to everyone their real identity. As of the moment, the two rookie undercover spies revels at the secrecy and privacy that they have. While they plot out their next moves, they are sure to be silent and discreet--- to be stealthy as much as possible.
SSHS 236 The next morning, the two rookie undercover spies were laying low in the radar of anyone and everyone. They continued to do their routine as they have laid it out, for Hestia: going to the Student Council Office in the morning, staying there for one hour and then going to her classes; then having lunch with the Montague siblings as fellow Student Council members and attending the remaining classes in the afternoon, then lastly, stroll for a bit in the school grounds and then going back to her dorm room for the night. There are times that they are to go out of their routine for something else but often times, those were rare and only sometimes. This was able to throw off the party of Freya, and Freya herself. The Senior Cheerleader must have thought that once they have gouged out the confession from her--- the information they needed--- they would take move and start plotting on how they could pin her down as silent as possible. And that the ISO itself would enter the
SSHS 237 To the mind of the Senior Cheerleader, this is something that is highly unusual and something that those people would not do. That them being silent all over was something that is out of their character and it is not in their nature to do so. And yet, here they are. Them not moving and Freya trying to put herself into their minds and shoes so that she could predict what is their next move. "What are they thinking?" Freya blurted out as she was with her clique enjoying their afternoon free time. Her friends heard such words and began saying words of reaffirmation and things along those lines, but it fell in deaf ears as Freya continued to be inside her mind pool.
SSHS 238 While the Senior Cheerleader was alone inside her mind, the others around her were still going on with their everyday lives, an example of which were her clique who continued to talk while Freya was staring at the table and sipping her drink. “Let her be, she must be deep in thinking of something.” One of her friends chided in, reminding everyone to let the Senior Cheerleader be in her own mind. “Or someone.” Another one chided in, saying in a playful manner as they bobbed their eyebrows up and done which made everyone at the table to laugh with them. Still, the Senior Cheerleader was inside her mind. Another example of which are the two rookie undercover spies. Although it may seem as if they are being carefree and living their ‘normal’ lives, or as the vocabulary of the ISO spies: doing their job undercover, the two rookie undercover spies were more clever than they may look like. While the Senior Cheerleader was wallowing a
