it's almost 2 in the morning when a gust of wind suddenly whispered to my ear about being summoned to the student council room, at first i thought it was just a dream but then the wind suddenly slashed the side of my cheek as if saying that it's not fucking dream,
fuck that bastard shin.
I got out of my bed, whilst pulling out a plaster in one of my bedside drawers and putting it on my wounded cheek. Going through my closet and picking my black jacket, wearing it on top of my black muscle shirt whilst walking on the front of our room, feebly unlocking the door, making sure not to wake Elliot up. After locking up the room from the outside, i trudged the way through the said meet up place, albeit a little groggy from waking up so early.
I was just two rooms away from the student council room, the only provided light was the flame on my index finger produced as my source of light when i saw Shin leaning against the wall of the said room. Walking along, and straight through the room's door as if i didn't just see him, I was about to open the door when he grab the wrist of my hand that was about to turn the knob
Shin: so you're not quitting huh?
i did not answer him, removing my wrist from his grip
Shin: i admire your stupidity
i stayed silent, tempted to answer, but held my words in by biting my lower lip
Shin: pagdasal mo lan mailigtas ka ng katangahan mo sa oras.
then he proceeded to open the door
well, i'm clearly unwanted here, should i just go?
ni hindi ko rin alam kung bakit pinagpipilitan ko ang sarili ko sa Student council, when i know next to nothing about it, I gave myself a lot of thinking, a lot actually, but then i remember my convo with that panda.
I always end up on agreeing when I remember our convo.
I went inside the room and saw some familiar and new faces. With dawn sitting down behind her desk on the middle of the room, Lucas sitting on one of the sofas grinning at me, with shin beside him eyeing me, Sir Li was also here and Daeniel, then another two person unfamiliar to me
Dawn: so you're here
she started of, leaning her chin on the palm of her hand
Me: I am.
i replied then took a sit on one of the available single sofa
Shin: Dawn, i still don't think that he should be here,
everyone eyed him
Lucas: shut up brat, napagusapan na natin to
Shin: yes i know barbie
he said in his most sarcastic tone
Shin: but he's just a newbie, he doesn't even know his sub conduct, he---
Dawn: he can help Amber
she cutted
Dawn: amber asked for his help Shin, his help, not yours, not mine but his, so i think it's just right for him to be here no more arguments needed
she said, taking a use of her authority, her words are final, then she proceeded to look at me
Dawn: let me introduce the members of the council, I'm the president, then we have Daeniel, Shade and Shin, you already know them, then the other two are Jinri and Liu, their both a year elder the you
she pointed at the two girls on the opposite sofa, one, i think she's Liu, being familiar, i think i saw her somewhere
Me: and them?
i nodded my head on Lucas and Sir Li's direction
Dawn: Art, i think it's already time for you to know
then she nodded at Sir Li
and with the snap of his finger our whole surrounding changed, we did not get transported to anywhere, where still in the SCQ, but now it was more like, void to anything from the outside
thanks to Sir LI's territorial scar
Me: what should i know?
i immediately answer when everybody's already settled in their own place
Dawn: that the student council is just a front for us
curious
Me: front? what front?
Dawn: Art, the student council is also known as the sisters organization of CLAUD inside the academy
i furrowed my brow at her at first but then i remembered, CLAUD, the underground organization for scarlet academy
Dawn: founded by our principal, the one you've met the first day you came here and Sir Li as our adviser, and Lucas was already a graduate but he's here to help as a current member of CLAUD
she clasped her hands on her desk then sighed
Dawn: you know the thing in amber's situation, is that the council was not informed about her condition
i stayed silent, prompting for her to continue
Dawn: we all know that she lost her scar, and that where our problem lies, because if the council and the town's people knows that we're keeping someone in this academy without a scar, there will be chaos, a huge uproar. Alam mo namang hindi maganda ang relasyon nating mga scar sa mga normal na tao diba? So rally is not impossible to happen if tey knew about this.
now i'm more confused,
Me: then why are you still keeping her inside this academy if that's the case?
then almost immediately, she turned serious and nodded at Lucas on her right
Lucas: because the Head master, or your former step father
at the sound of that, i already know that i won't like what i'll hear next
Lucas: he managed to escape.
