SSHS 65 As fast as it began, the quarrel of the Montague siblings was diffused and solved on that same day, although they have not yet decided what costume to wear at the Halloween event, both have acknowledged that they still have plenty of time to decide. As for Arthur, he received a major scolding from the Vice President of the Student Council as not only did he make the situation escalate for the worse, but also did not take the initiative to stop the two from fighting. “You are even the oldest among all of us. You should know better.” Hestia said to Arthur as the latter can be seen kneeling on the floor and his hands raised as a punishment. Indeed, this sight seemed to be extra, even if Hestia has a higher position than him, it is still needed to remember the fact that Arthur is older than them. However, according to the reasoning of Hestia, “He needs to learn his lesson.” in which Damian and Excami seconded and did not protest at all. And yet, at the back of the minds of the
SSHS 66 Humming a tune to herself, she skidded through the pavement from the second building of the girl’s dorn and unto the first one as she had promised to pay a visit to a dear friend. As she skips on the road, she is also looking up, admiring the red, yellow and orange hues painted in the sky and in the clouds as it is nearing night, the sun is gradually setting and she thought to herself, ‘Might be better if I just head to the cafeteria than cook my own food. Oh my, looks like I’m getting lazy.’ She then giggled at herself because of her thoughts. Still, before heading to the cafeteria, she must head to her friend's dorm room first. Aside from the visit, she also promised to help her dear friend about a situation that her dear friend is naive about— or rather, too overthinking to think properly. Entering the lobby of the first building, she greeted the house lady with a nod and a smile, in which the lady returned. “Visiting a friend?” the lady asked, and she replied, “Yes, als
SSHS 67 They squealed with glee as they took a pick of the clothes that they had chosen. While jumping, Yulia faced Freya who was beside her and showed the photo. “Oh, my goodness, this is so cute! Just look at how they compliment each other!” Yulia exclaimed as she shoved her phone to Freya’s face due to excitement. With a yelp for pain, Freya covered her face while getting the phone from Yulia’s hand, Yulia’s force was so strong that when the phone hit her nose, iut hurt a lot. With a wince of pain, Freya looked at the photo and replied, “Yeah, it is cute. But dear, please watch your surroundings and strength. Not everyone is used to pain.” She said with a pained voice and gave back the phone still while holding her aching nose. Yulia, having realised the pain she had caused, took back the phone and profusely apologised to Freya, saying that it was an accident and would never do that again. As this happens, Hestia was quietly watching them by the bed, sitting alone with her own
SSHS 68 That night, in the midst of the girls going through the closets and drawers of Hestia to choose what she would wear for the weekend shopping, they all squealed with glee— except for Hestia who was dreading this very situation and reminds herself to endure this for the sake of the mission. “Wait, I think this blue dress would fit nicely to her. It is cooling to look at and she has a cold aura. Right, Freya?” Yulia said as she showed the blue dress and draped it in front of Hestia. It was a simple Baby Doll dress and is plain, no any sort of design at all. Once she saw how the dress indeed fits for Hestia, Freya gave a nod of approval and then showed a pair of sandals and they both squealed with glee again, as Hestia remained silent. But what the girls did not notice, is that there is a glint of light that is coming from the trees, and it does not look like a good omen at all. The clanking and clinking of crashing metals can be softly heard inside the dorm room in the boy’s
SSHS 69 Whichever city a person is, they would always describe it as bustling and always busy, with a lot of people walking in different directions. Some were walking with their own groups, talking casually to each other and sharing a laugh or two. Some were walking alone, mostly people dressed in suits or formal coats as they placed their phones right to their ears and were talking professionally to the person on the other side of their phone as they wore a serious expression on their face. And there are those who are strolling around the city as they use their leisure time to have some fun, to unwind or destress. They dress in casual and fun and colourful and season appropriate clothes as they have fun with their groups or just admire the city alone. And there are those who want to stroll throughout the city and look at various shops and see if they want something from inside. And the city is extra busy in this particular week, a lot more people are coming in and out of the shops
SSHS 70 There are times that the destiny or fate or life itself wants to mess with you. It like playing with you all over— whether it be having you experience a warm sunny day and then would make the rain drop without any warning at all. Or maybe let you be with your friends and then all of a sudden have them leave without any notice at all, leaving you alone and sad. Or maybe, let you have some fun, have that bliss of happiness as you enjoy life of being so young and active and so free and then: poof, everything is gone, or everything is not the same anymore. Or it would be better described as ‘BOOM!’ and then everything around you was turned into dust as you hear the cries of people for help, the agony and their pain echoing out through the shocked streets of the city as everyone stayed there, shock ed and unmoving, not knowing what to do as a bombed just exploded in one of the stores and killed all that is inside, and injured those who are unfortunate enough to be near the vicin
SSHS 71 Shit. Was all the two junior undercover spies could think about as they tried to brace themselves and to also secure the still unconscious girls, as so they would not sustain anymore injuries during the ride as the ambulance started to tumble and land on its side. Shit. Was all the two junior undercover spies could say as they felt their bodies ache as they sustained the pain of clashing with the inside of the ambulance and some of its equipment inside, just so that the two unconscious girls would not suffer any more concussion on the head, and further worsening their condition. With a groan, they adjusted their stance as both of them held one of the girls in a protective way. “Are you kids okay?” Shouted one of the paramedics from the front. Hestia and Albert were not able to answer right away as they continued to groan out the pain they were feeling, and also adjusted both the unconscious girls to make them stand up, making it easier for the two of them to carry them ou
SSHS 72 There was an adequate force of the authorities to hold down the chaos and to possibly take it under control, and to also ensure the safety of the civilians who were unfortunate to be in the vicinity of the said incident. People are running to all of the directions they could, often finding places where they deemed safe and secured and out of sight of the people who are wielding guns and blades in all sorts of lengths and sizes. Their screams echoes all throughout the domain as they ran around, trying to avoid the bad goons who were loitering around and terrorizes those who crosses their paths. Some people, in the midst of panic, left their cars and ran to save their lives, screaming and not caring to their car as people in jackets with the symbol of their gang insignia started to crowd the car that was left and wrecked it as much as they want, leaving dents, cracked glass and flat tires. However, the most unfortunate ones to be caught were the children. There are those who go
