The papers laid listless in front of Jana. After biting her lower lips 'til it has gotten a red hue, she unwillingly submitted to disappointment. Still, she could not accept that her efforts went to waste. "Vivien, are there any safe hidden inside this room?" "The system has scanned the place as we arrived, host. There's no such thing." 'How can that be? The director sure has to keep something valuable inside his office!' "With the school's practices, it's not a surprise to know that the director hides all of his important belongings inside his personal chamber. After all, this small office barely has something that looks significant to his person." Jana considered Vivien's words. She agreed silently. With the careful set-up of Hyacinth's plan, her backer should be someone with a cautious personality. That's right. Even inside this small but lavish office, it seems like the man never liked to stay here if it doesn't require work. He barely has any personal belongings inside.

"HAND it over." Jana opened her hands with fingers widespread. She resembled an angry child asking for a candy. And Austin will not give it to her. "What do you mean?" he asked with expressions quite innocent. "Your camera. I want to find something from the event yesterday." "It's not my fault that you took an absence without actually telling me why." He scolded. "It's not 'something', is it? What you're seeking for is 'someone'." Jana didn't expect him to catch up quickly. For the most part, Austin has always played the role of a passive team mate in this little group of three person that she built. He was the type who will only come into play when he has something to do. "Austin…" She knows about his emotional development with the protagonist. Trusting him right now will seem like a joke. "I know you won't understand why I'm doing this but if you continue to go against my way, don't blame me for being harsh." His eyes flashed with a rare sight of confusion. "What do you mea

Felicity sat dejectedly in front of her book. The tests are coming and she need to work hard just like everybody else does. Unfortunately, Hyacinth took a large chunk off of her concentration that day. She can't read a thing with proper understanding. "Have you seen Melody?" Felicity raised her head to look at Sarah. She's a chubby girl living next to her dorm. They were not classmates but it's not difficult to know her in the crowd. She's loud and a little chubby. "Yes. Not too long ago." Felicity pointed at the librarian's desk. "I think she just left." "Ugh... don't be friends with her, okay? She's a scheming lizard. She even left me here." She displayed a timely smile before duking her head back to the book. Sarah has a weird relationship with her friends. They always fight but they won't leave each other alone. 'Maybe that's why Hyacinth wants to target them.' The girl didn't tell her what's the ruckus all about but she hinted about the three friends who were stupid

Jana didn't have the chance to call Austin and apologize for the second time the next day. When the exam is fast approaching them and Hyacinth, the living threat above her head, is just around the corner, she have no time to spare him. Clocking out of the school, Jana hugged her coat to her chest. She hailed a taxi and drove to the address that Denise gave her yesterday. It was a private hospital near the school. The place where Lizzy was sent when her accident happened. Jana played with the watch on her wrist. She made a schedule in her mind. After this visit, she has to study. The math subject in particular. There's no way to master that in just one sitting. Just as when she was wondering where to get breakfast, her phone rang loudly. She picked it up without looking. "Myr?" Spencer's hoarse voice greeted her ear. "Where are you? Austin wants to invite you for breakfast." "You guys are going out of school?" She leaned to the backseat and sigh heavily. "It's a pity then. I

The hospital was strangely familiar to Jana. The cold air was bitting incessantly on her skin. It was the least of her favorite sensations in the world. The roles she's offered to play were all either canon fodders with tragic ending, or villains with the same tragic ending. At first, she was vexed and angry about the OOC feature. It was hard trying to save yourself but you're not allowed to move outside the comfort zone of the character that you're acting as. Now with the crisp promise of being free after completing ten mission consecutively and the damned OOC feature finally turned off, Jana couldn't be happy enough. This is practically a golden leaf bestowed to her. There's no way she's going to let the chance pass by. "Hello, miss. I'd like to know Lizette Drake's room number." The nurse behind the desk was incredibly young and friendly. She even smiled a little with Jana. "May I know your relationship with the patient, ma'am?" "I'm… her classmate. Myriad White." Jana fidge

Lizzy struggled to wake up when she heard familiar voices. It was the school's director talking with her parents. They were discussing what to do with Myriad. They believed that Myriad pushed her. "No!" Lizzy strained her back trying to push herself up. "No! Myriad didn't push me!" The director was surprised with her conviction. Lizzy forgot about her manners and conduct at the moment. She needed to stop them from ruining Myriad. She won't give that girl the satisfaction of getting what she want! "Someone pushed me... but it's not Myriad. Please." Her mom quavered instantly. While her dad needs to be convinced. It was hard for him to take her accident lightly. If the situation was different, Lizzy would have ended with more serious injury. "Ms. Lizzy, you need to rest. You might be distraught and that you remembered the events differently." The director sat with his eyes sunken without sleep. It was clear that he had not rested well since her accident. "But if you insist, can y

Jana redeemed her determined state of mind when she get out of Lizzy's room. She fished her phone out of her pocket and dialed Denise' number. As she paced slowly in the hallway. The woman answered the call within three rings. Jana hurriedly relied the information she learned when she noticed a middle-aged man walking slowly in her direction. "It was not the director but Mr. Brooks! That's why it was easy for him to cut off the power sources in school without getting caught. He knows about the CCTV footages in every part of the school and he can give permission for Hyacinth to roam the school even if it's supposedly prohibited." Denise gasped. "Fudge, Jana. What should we do now?" "Proceed to the plan. We will only change our target. We need to get Mr. Brooks send to jail so that Lizzy won't be scared anymore." Jana ruffled her hair with shaking hands. "He threatened to kill Lizzy's parents that's why she resulted to acting strange. We should help her." "Ms. White." The man i

Spencer helped Jana prepare for the ceremony in Wednesday. For the rest of their free time, they devoted it into studying. Austin particularly liked helping Jana in her math lessons. Although in his mind, he thought Myriad was just acting cute. There would be no way that Myriad would forget about Math. It was her favorite subject. But when the night came and Myriad still hasn't folded her dumb act, Austin became apprehensive and confused. Myriad had her head deep in thought as she punch unnecessary numbers in her calculator. Her face doesn't have the usual expression of someone who's full intent is to understand math. Her face screamed her opinion about the subject. Austin wanted to comfort her with words like, 'Chill, Myr, it's math and not a war.' Myriads behavior makes him think as if they're not facing a exam but a strategic war against the gods. Spencer was tired for the day and bid them his goodnight. Austin would like to follow as well so that Myriad can finally take

The lights flickered. Jana thought she should stop staring at it and actually continue answering her paper. How come she didn't imagine school to be this hard? She remembered using this formula last night... but she actually forgot everything. Maybe she's suffering from short term memory loss. She hates to disappoint her boyfriend. Austin's expectant eyes this morning work its way straight to Jana's heart. She can't have those eyes look down on her. Myriad has no one but she can still make Austin proud, right? 'Why am I even imagining it right now when I couldn't even answer one problem?' Jana bit the tip of her pen, asking why does the lord god keep on testing her everyday. When the first part of their whole day exam finished, Jana was nauseated to the point of oblivion. The only thing that kept her from falling to the ground is the appointment she had made with Hyacinth. "She wants to meet you today." Jana dusted the imaginary dirt on her shoulder. She felt as though the te

"Can I get some of that, Austin?" Hyacinth pawed Austin's meal with her fork. She didn't move her plate even an inch. It was evident that she didn't like what Austin got for her. Yet, that's not enough for her to stop showing him the bruise on her wrist. It was small but very blue. It was impossible to miss it at a glance. "Thank you." Austin saw it. But he didn't comment. Neither did Myriad and nor did Spencer. It was as though they couldn't see her injury. It threw Hyacinth off balance. She can't use the excuse of tasting the dish repeatedly to show off her bruises. Hyacinth had a feeling that the guy won't like it if she use the same fork that she placed in her mouth to pinch his food again. That would offend him. 'Why?' She tug at the cuff of her blazer. Tossing them an accusing glance. 'They couldn't be that unfeeling, right?' They should care for her, somehow. She didn't expect fighting with Felicity last night but she welcomed the bruise, intent to use it on Austin in
