Chapter 7 - Competing Viers
Blackmailing him was a successful idea after all, getting him expelled is a genius. I hope for now that'll get him to stop me from having bruises.
My Aunt would go into fits if she finds out about this, I don't know how long will this game keep. But for now I hope it'll keep the flow going on.
It'll be a hectic of a chance-medley, probably imperilment would be an occurance along the way, for my sake I should keep it flowy.
I don't know about the others but if that would happen that will be their problem not mine since I didn't cause antecedent of the nature.
"So what do you want to do with this whole scrap of a junk?" Ah, I forgot the Mr. Sandy Blonde dude was still here, the itch of smacking him across the face was a mere distance from my urge.
Repressing it would have been such a deal to me, good thing my conscience knew better. Lucky him. Well, supposedly I should thank my conscience if not, I'd be gone home with a smack.
"Meh, I'm lazy right now" I slumped on my seat feeling my dazedly attitude. I heard him groaned in frustration and smack his palm on his face. Pressing his palms deeper.
Barely didn't hold my chuckled, maybe I should play with him for a while. Seeing him like this is fun to watch, more like my own entertainment. One of the reasons why I love my own intestinal fortitude.
"Seriously?! I'm sick of this!" He growled. Not so threatening to me, I didn't even flinch at his own doughtiness.
"Cool down dude, I'm thinking" I deadpanned. To be honest to much of my diversion, persecuting him was even more of a distraction for me to think of my Art Exhibit.
I still have time anyways, the deadline was still a few more months to go, so this wasn't much of a problem for me to deal with.
I could think of some artistic ideas in minutes, I just need some inspiration or perfect scheme for my own exposition. Time is mostly needed at certain things like this, obviously.
He sigh and I smile. It was rare of me to smile at someone like him, mostly I look at a person dull or bored. He should be lucky.
Personally, mostly I would try to hide my inner side of myself, I dislike showing my personality to someone who wouldn't even bare me for the time being and for not long.
It sickens me and I would be petrified if I broke my own law.
"So what now?" He broke the awkward silence that was beginning to form in the midst air.
"How about this?" I said as I grab a piece of paper and my old ballpen.
"I'll plan of something for the Art Exhibit but I wanna know something, would you prefer sculpting or painting? Can we at least have a decent idea that you would at least cooperate with me?" I went on as I scribbled a simple draft that just came on my mind, a mixture of polygons in different angles.
"You said you wanted a perfect alluring Art Junk? right?" He asked obviously taking delight attention from me. Finally we were getting to something.
"Correct. I prefer a distinctive mixture of sculpting and painting at the same time, maybe well decorated with third dimensional effects like adding a few beads of diamonds and etc. studs could be useful too, I just need a perfect extraction to where to put it" I kept on blabbering on as I finally started a draft on sculptor shapes.
"So we are going with sculpting then? Is it mostly done with metal scraps or just plain clay?" He asked.
"Probably we are going with plain clay but if you have any ideas with metal scraps we could adjust to it" I replied looking at him. Staring at his eyes was my mistake because I caught myself in ensnaring enchantment.
I was pretty sure it took me thirty seconds to break away, it was a relief to me that he looked away and it was awkward. I felt myself flush.
"I- Uhm- so sculpting then, uh- we'll see if there's going to be something I can get out of this sketches. For the meantime that's all" I almost stuttered at my words.
Gathering some of my things and shoving them on my bag, I was hoping that it would already bell. Him near me was going to be harder for me to adjust than I thought it would.
"Yeah, so I'll just see you around then" He averted away from me and to my relief it was a good thing.
"So I'll just contact you or something if I have plans already" I stated.
"The name's Blane, Blane McEvans" He said and still kept his eyes away from me. He didn't dare look at me but he was perspicuous to show me that he wants to introduce himself.
I wanted to leap in blessings but I shouldn't get carried away, this wasn't something I should make a fuss about, but still a joy. I smiled.
"Louise Vallenberg" As if on cue the bell rung and we both found ourselves greeting each other in goodbye and dashing out the room with our different tracks.
I felt providential or heaven-sent.
_________________________________________________________________
We gathered at the same room altogether back at Selene Dela Purne Hall, it was an annual meeting. Class was over and the day went fast.
No theatricals happened before the little incident back in my old class in Arts. Everything went fine except for Daye who practically screwed everything about staying on tracks with the rules and regulations.
Mitch caught him flirting with another boy who currently wasn't Daye's assigned target, to our relief Mitch taught Daye a valuable lesson, smacking him in the head for goodness sake.
I took a seat near Xenon and he grinned at me, I waved plastering a smile then went back to my deadpanned emotion. Mitch sat next to me and Daye followed suit.
Vick took a seat near Chen and Gordon was sitting next to Adam, Gordon was still piss from before and I couldn't blame myself for getting caught in that incident.
Blane was the one who practically rejected and ditched Gordon with me. A huge success to my favor of course. I can't even deny the fact that I probably owe Blane one.
"Hey" Xenon greeted me.
"Hi" I replied. I had to stay on the good terms with a few tributes here because I don't want some of them to be with Gordon who can practically can get his claws on his prize.
I'm sorry if I can't deliver good terms with some people, for the truth that if I don't like that person why would I make efforts to like him when I obviously can't do it.
It'll be such a waste to even endeavor, I just tend to ignore them mostly.
"How's your day of the game?" He asked.
"Meh, me and my assigned Target have some good mutual understanding so we're cool" I said.
"It's better anyways rather than letting him have the mutual understanding with my Target" I added secretly pointed to Gordon who was being a stuck up brat. Xenon chuckled.
"Believe me, I don't like him at all" Xenon admitted and I found myself smiling at him. Keep your cool Louise. Might not forget that Xenon is also a homo just like me. Mostly all of us here.
He doesn't look like the submissive type of person but the dominative one. I can be easily enchanted with these type of guys especially to my advantage of course.
"So who's your Target?" I asked since I want to know who the unlucky or lucky is.
"Oh wait, I actually printed a picture of him, he's a cute fellow, pink hair" That is weird, the only pink hair I knew here in school was my classmate in Literature.
"Really? can I see?" I wanted to assure myself, since this whole school is big there might also be another guy with pink hair.
He fetch something in pockets which was his wallet then fishing something out and the picture was revealed. My eyes widen as I saw him.
I was right it was classmate in Literature, the pink hair twin. I never knew he would be a Target.
"This is my classmate, I don't know his name though, we have literature together" I stated as I glanced at the picture then to Xenon.
"His name is Teither Hollerven and he has a twin brother named Deither Hollerven, that seems to be your friend's Target" Xenon said as he pointed to Daye who was grinning like an idiot to Mitch.
Teither and Deither the twins in my class. The Pink and The Blue, I should have known. Now it was easier for me to identify some of my fellow competitors to whom their Target was.
My thirst for curiosity to some of the Targets of the group was some what satisfied though even if I only knew half of them.
"Now that I know that my Target is your classmate in Literature maybe I could see both of you there, Cool" He grinned at me and I wanted to shove my skeptical conclusions that were forming in my mind.
"Listen up Contestants, today is your first annual meeting, so I would like to ask a few of you how was your status today with your Target?" Kipp suddenly burst as we all turned and paid attention to him.
Almost everyone was eager to say something but Vick, Gordon and Mitch only seemed to have a disinterest in Kipp's question. Obviously it didn't turn out to be great or good for them. Especially for Gordon since I saw what happened.
"Nate?" Kipp pointed out to the Brunette one. I never knew Kipp was starting to call us.
"Well, I ditched Biology class just to see my Target at the fields in their P.E and I approached him when he was drinking at the fountain, I could have scored a good impression on him if Xenon hadn't barge in a sudden" Nate laughed as he shared his side of the story.
"Hey, I can't let you have the babe when I'm burning this game up for you" Xenon interjected as he chuckled.
"Dude! I could have nailed my move on him but you just had to screw it up didn't you" Nate playfully pushed Xenon and we found ourselves chuckling at the thought of them competing.
Xenon smirked victoriously. They were having a good showmanship together but I don't know when it will last though, if possibilities may they might develop something.
"Okay, calm down. How about you Adam?" Kipp gestured to Adam and he just smirk.
"My Target is feisty, he really is hard to get" That was all he could say as Mitch grimace. Obviously Adam was Mitch's competing partylist member.
So in their terms they might not have the slight mutual understanding to begin with. Unlike Xenon and Nate who put up a good sportmanship in their game. It was a "no hard feelings" for them kind of style, which made them a perfect role model of a player.
So far me and Vick seems to be okay, but Gordon, God no. If I get locked up in a room with Gordon, we might not last long in one hour or second, we could've start beating the crap out of each other.
This wasn't a playful game for two Competing Viers, it was a competition to get the upper right of a guy through seduction and sexual coitus. I never knew a virgin like me would have to be so aggressive just to swipe my V card off.
I was thinking about my Virtue to be really special.
"Haha, okay, so now let's start today's meeting with a few announcements. Arlone would you do the honors?" Kipp step back as Arlone stood infront of us.
"We just had a word with the Alumnis today and we thought we could get the game more intriguing, since mostly some of them had a few gambling around. So starting today we will keep records of your stats with your Target, if you have the lowest percentage in your Party you will be eliminated" Arlone brief us with the announcement.
What? I raised my hand.
"Yes?" Arlone asked as he stared at me.
"If you plan on eliminating the lowest in our Partylist how would you even identify them if they have the lowest stat with their Target?" This was a curious question, possibilities if they even ask us about our stat right now some of us might even lie just to get the trophy.
I know some of us won't even play by the rules and regulations, of course in everygame there will always be the dirty player who will plot with his dirty scheme. I will not tolerate such a low a term like this.
"Good question, we have assigned other students to keep an eye on each one of you, some of them might even have a little talk with your Targets regarding with all of you of course" Arlone answered confidently.
"You're kidding me right, are you going to jeopardize this whole game using those students to have a little one on one talk with our Targets? they might get suspicious" From my own looks I was almost yelling.
"Don't worry these students that I assigned are well trained in manipulating conversations and tricking them into spoiling the little secrets of our fellow people here in Valentia" Arlone grinned, I must have underestimated some of these students.
But still regarding on these new briefings I just couldn't stay still if one assigned student was going to endanger the secrecy of us being the players of the game.
The rules stated that this game was going to happen secretly or privately and I intend to play by those rules. Keeping me and the other players hidden was a priority.
"Don't let this worry you Louise you must not underestimate my role as a Guide here, I know the in and out of every twist here, so don't you worry" He chuckled and I nodded.
So I let it slide and he continued.
"A little premonitory to those who have been eliminated, if you dare to team up with some who is still competing in the game you will be held of chastise by us and the Alumnis, so plotting together won't do you any good" Arlone said his tone dead serious.
This game was tensing to a whole new level, it was making me strive harder than I thought. I will not lose easily to someone I despise, that feeling will not be bearable.
"Again we wish you good luck for tomorrow and happy gaming!" This time Patrick spoke as everyone rose to their seat. The meeting was over and we started to head out of the room.
I felt someone tug me on the back and I glanced to see who it was. Kipp was smiling and I turned to face him fully. I already let the recent incident of him in the loo slide off since I found out that he was part of being a monitor of the game here.
So it wasn't a big deal to me anymore. I stared at his eyes and observe his charming face as he folded his arms and the outline of his muscles showed through his blazer. I scold myself as I started to check him out.
"Louise are you coming?" Mitch asked behind me.
"Can I talk to you for a while?" Kipp asked and I gave Mitch a sign that "you can go without me, I'll be with you in a minute". Mitch nodded and dragged Daye who was about to protest something.
"Uh what is it?" I asked as I pushed my eyeglasses.
"Are you free right now? Cause I need your help" He said.
"What seems to be the problem?" This conversation was getting suspicious and I won't jump into conclusions since it might just lead me to misunderstanding.
"Daye told me that you like Arts and you are also good in Literature, so I was thinking if you can help me sort out my report for tomorrow?" Kipp was asking me a favor and since when did Daye even knew I like Arts?
I haven't even shared a few lifestyles of myself to Mitch and Daye. Nosy little brat, he couldn't keep his mouth shut for a few seconds or minutes, honestly he needs more smacking. I sighed.
Daye should have said that I was also lazy and I tend to lay myself to rot in bed sheets. I just wanted to sleep and eat.
"Daye doesn't even know that, he is probably making stories about me, I'm not really good in Literature to be honest" I said deadpanned, feeling tired.
"Please, just this once, I'll treat you something delicious to eat" He smiled trying to bribe me with his good looks and money. As much as I hated the fact about me being an easy victim to being bribe by someone like Kipp, I nodded and sighed.
I can't believe I agreed to this, I should know better than to let someone like Kipp get the best of me. Well at least there is good food.
"Great!" He almost jumped in joy like he won a lottery. I raised my eyebrow and rolled my eyes.
"So I'll see you at the parking lot if you have your things ready" He said as he smiled at me one more time and walking out the door. I rubbed my forehead and sighed.
I should get this over with and leave, I wanted some good rest since today was really stressful even if I only went to class and did a couple of activities.
Still they are stressing. I slung my bag on my shoulders and passed my lockers in Madison Hall then proceeded to the parking lot, of course I passed by Mitch and Daye.
I gave Daye a flicked on the forehead before saying my goodbyes to both of them, I also sent a text message to my Aunt Lucille that'll be working a report with someone today so I'll be home late.
Finally hesitating to find Kipp in the parking lot, I spotted him leaning on his Jaguar beauty and he was talking to Arlone, Arlone parted ways when Kipp saw me from behind him.
He didn't see me and I didn't bother on calling him out as he walked away. I pushed my eyeglasses one more time as I close the distance a few meters away from Kipp.
"Cool, you ready now?" Kipp asked both of his hands shoved up to his pockets and his blazer removed. I could see his bare muscles more visibly and I tell you, he is so hot.
I mentally slap myself trying to knock my sense out from the trance that was starting to appear in the midst air. His neck tie was loose and a part of myself wanted to pull that off sexily.
Damn it, I shouldn't be even here fantasizing about ripping him off into complete nudity just because he is sexy. Might I remind myself that I must follow the rules carefully.
"Yeah I'm ready" I said as we both climbed inside his car. I was about to grabbed the seatbelt when he stopped me by his hands.
"Let me" He insisted of putting the seatbelt for me and I found myself awkwardly flushed in red or pink.
Before I could sigh again we completely drove off and I found myself again asking "Why did I even agreed to this?".
