After class, they eventually went to the Ex-House that is located at the corner part of the campus and is quite far. The Elite members sat on the couches while Zhyrine roamed around like a kid.
The Ex-House was built since The Elites were recognized, although called house, it can pass as a mansion considering how huge it is. It has two floors with fourteen rooms, ten bedrooms, a gaming room, movie room, library and another room for various entertainment.
Zhyrine went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Her eyes twinkled as she saw the food inside. She grabbed an ice cream and searched within the drawers for a spoon.
The boys saw her coming out of the kitchen with an ice cream on her hand and a spoon on her mouth.
"Is her stomach a bottomless pit?"
She sat at the available space beside Loki who looked at her with an irritated expression.
"Stop eating and tell us.." Zhyrine glanced at Titus who had a stern look on his face "Who are you?"
Zhyrine placed the tip of the spoon on her lower lips and spoke.
"I cannot tell my identity, soon maybe. But it would be fun to see if you all can find it out sooner." she playfully said and smiled.
"Are you playing with us?" Loki beside spoke with a bit of anger in his tone. "Just tell us who you are."His eyes glaring at Zhyrine.
Zhyrine pouted "I'm not playing." then she grinned "I'm just having fun."
Suddenly the atmosphere changed.
"I don't know what your reason is Zyco but i'm not sticking with this girl." Rue stated and went to his room. For him, he cannot take how the Zhyrine acts or in some term, he doesn't understand her way of thinking.
"Me too." Loki left.
Titus also left, leaving Hathor, Chain, Aries, Yuk, Harris and Zyco.
"They left." Zhyrine pouted.
"Don't get me wrong but, what's your purpose coming here at Veinlourd?" Harris asked.
"Mmm...Because i'm bored." she answered casually.
"That's your reason?" Aries said with disbelief.
"Mm!" Zhyrine nodded her head "You see, there are things I'm curious about and things I want to experience, like having friends!"
"Then what about your personality change? You act so jolly then all of a sudden…"
"Personality change? That's just me." Zhyrine blinked at him.
"Zyne, what about the things you said to Fiona?" Yuki asked.
"Yuki-chan you're too oblivious." Zhyrine chuckled and Yuki looked at her confused.
"Chan..?"
"That's a japanese term, you're just too adorable." she chuckled. "Anyways, i'm joking around her. I just threatened her to wait for the bell, I felt lazy so I don't wanna retake the test. That's too much energy to waste." she pouted.
The boys looked at her with disbelief. They didn't expect that she had that kind of plan on her mind.
"Yuki-chan!" Zhyrine exclaimed and sat beside Yuki.
"How old are you?" she asked out of the blue. Yuki made a confused look but answered her.
"I'm fourteen.."he answered and Zhyrine's eyes twinkled and suddenly hugged him squealing
"Fourteen?! Call me Nee-chan from now on" Yuki looked at her confused.
"N-Nee-chan..?"
Zhyrine squeeled at his cuteness and squeezed him.
"C-can't breath." Yuki struggled and Zhyrine let him go.
"Sorry hihi!" she smiled sheepishly.
Suddenly, an idea popped in her head. She shifted her gaze and looked at Zyco with twinkling eyes.
"Oh oh! Can we watch a movie pwease?" she pleaded with a tiny voice.
Zyco nodded "Let's go to the movie room."
"Thank you!"
They went for a dramatic movie and at the climax part, Zhyrine was sobbing hard. She kept wiping her tears with the back of her hand non-stop.
Yuki handed her a tissue box and when they reached the end of the movie, the box was already empty.
"That was so sad!" Zhyrine sobbed.
"Nee-chan, stop crying…" Yuki said, concerned at her. Zhyrine's eyes, nose and lips were red, it was so visible on her snow white skin.
Her face looks so pitiful that it would make you want to wipe the forming tears on her eyes.
"It's almost 7, you need to go back to your dorm. I'll walk you there." Zyco said and Zhyrine nodded at him. She bid them farewell and they both left.
After the two left, the boys looked at each other except Hathor who was focused on the book in his hand. They clearly waited for the time where those two are gone so they can speak their thoughts about them.
"Yuki...what do you think about Zyne?" Aries asked and Yuki turned his gaze to him.
"Nee-chan? She's...nice. She's a bit hard to understand but she's not doing anything wrong. Rue, Loki and Titus just don't like her personality. But Zyco gets along with her, then she have an interesting identity." he said honestly.
He gets along well with Zhyrine and treats her as his friend, he doesn't see anything wrong about Zhyrine, except her mysterious identity.
Chain nodded at his answer "Me too. The others just don't like how care-free and mysterious Zyne is. But for me, she's interesting."
"What about you Hathor?" Aries asked and Hathor looked up as he heard his name being called. He just glanced at Aries then immediately put his focus on the book in his hand.
"I don't dislike her." he answered shortly.
"See? Even the great Hathor doesn't see anything wrong about her. Those three just see Zyne as a threat." Aries pointing out.
On the other hand, Rue entered the gaming room and saw Loki busy playing. Rue stood behind him and watched the game on the monitor. Suddenly, Loki spoke,
"The girl." Loki said with his eyes not leaving the monitor.
"What about her?" Rue asked.
"I don't like her." he spoke with clear hatred in his tone.
"Me too, I don't like how she acts innocently when she's clearly not. I don't trust her. I trust Zyco but not the girl." Rue said with a stoic expression.
He thinks Zhyrine as threat. No matter how he sees it, the girl is clearly two-faced. The way she threatened Fiona was clearly an evidence that she's not as innocent as her jolly acts.

Titus opened his computer and started typing characters. The noise from the keyboard rang all through his wide room.
Few minutes later, he clicked on the mouse and read the data on the computer.
Name: Zyne Valeine
Age: N/A
Mother: Unknown
Father: Unknown
He bit his lower lip and tried to find her other information but there was none, her existence is confirmed yet he couldn't find a single file about her nor her relatives.
This was the first time Titus had experienced this. His skills are recognizably excellent but why couldn't he find the data about Zhyrine or in his knowledge 'Zyne'.
His dislike of her grew more. That girl isn't as simple as he thought. She's clearly the opposite of her innocent personality.
'Just who is she?'
___________
Zyco held his phone to the ground to light their way. It was already dark. The Ex-House is quite far from the Girl's dormitory, because the buildings were at the opposite corners of the wide campus.
"They must be curious about you."
Zhyrine chuckled at Zyco "I know. Those three seem to not like me, it's upsetting." she pouted.
"That is because they see you as a threat."
"Uh-huh, but I'm not gonna meddle with them...umm just a bit though." Zhyrine giggled.
"What about you? What did dad order you to do?"
Zyco glanced at her "Since when did you know."
"I didn't," Zhyrine giggled "You just confirmed it."
"I already thought dad will send someone and I was right! hihi!" she cheerfully said.
"What did dad say?"
"He just instructed me to keep an eye to you." Zyco answered shortly, clearly omitting the details.
"Mm.." Zhyrine placed her pointing finger on her chin as she started thinking "I know that's not all...but anyway! I'll know about it soon!" she exclaimed and smiled widely.
"I know you will."
