Raine Aksenov
Paris, France: Oeillet de règne Académie Dormitory
"Hey, Raine... Are you okay? You look like shit said my dorm neighbor, Racquel who is this, who is also my best friend before locking her door with a thunderous click. "I saw Saccharide leaving a while ago... Did he do something to you again...?"
I laughed as she shook me like a bottle, trying to get an honest reply from me but I just giggled and reassured that I'm fine.
"I'm okay. We just hang out" I said before grabbing the basket on the floor in front of the floor after locking the door with a louder click. We both closed our eyes to the shocking sound before laughing at the rusty locks of our dorms.
"Going to the garden again?" asked Racquel as we walk straight into the sunset-colored hallway, the sun was about to set and the mix colored sky relaxed my eyes, I can't help but admire the view.
"Yeah. Got to give my babies, their water and stuff," I giggled and took a turn at the garden way before waving back at the smiling girl.
"Hey, Raine!" Racquel called once more. "Good luck with Saccharide. I never succeeded with him but I know you will"
I just smiled with no response, waved my hands to her again before she turned her back, and gracefully walked away.
I hope so...

Third Person
Oeillet de règne Académie: Garden
The girls both parted ways but as soon as Racquel turned around, Raine made sure that no one was near. She nervously opened the gate to the garden before locking it with multiple locks.
The scene of the carnation flowers with different colors amazed the young girl, she was the one who planted it in the first place, she loved them like they were her own family. A sweet scent brought her back to her scenes and began to walk straight, trying not to trample any carnations while doing so.
When she reached the farthest corner of the garden where an oak tree is planted, she smiled and hurriedly ran to the tree as the sun sets slowly, leaving the background with very little light to illuminate a very big rock under the tree.
"Sorry I took so long," whispered Raine as she lifted a rock to reveal a beautifully designed jar and a picture frame. She sat with her back against the tree and smiled, hugging tightly the jar and the picture frame.
"I want you to know that I finally found you. I know you are alive and you are never going to leave me..." she giggled and set the jar back into the hole while lifting the picture frame high up in the air, the moon was bright but not bright enough to show the face of the person in the picture. "I'm so happy- I'm ecstatic. It's like I've been filled with drugs..."
"I found you but I guess your name is not the same anymore, huh?" she placed a small kiss on the frame before excitedly hugging it then putting it back gently inside the hole along with the jar. She stood up and picked a few pieces of fresh carnations before placing them on top of the hole.
"Remember you used to give me carnations...? I grew more and more around you so you'd never be alone. I remembered you said that I smell like them," she whispered one more time then placed the big rock back in its original place again."- you'll never run out of my scent, dear."
She smiled once more and took the basket on the cold ground before looking up the sky to feel the wind past her hair and exposed skin, making her body send shiver shocks along her spine.
"Welcome back, dear," the girl smiled wildly and looked at her phone to see her new wallpaper, it's the picture of her and Saccharide a while ago. They both looked happy in the picture, she just hopes that it stays that way.
"Welcome back as Saccharide Heinz..."

Saccharide Heinz
Paris, France: Oeillet de règne Académie
I looked around the hallway and there is no person in sight. No other sounds except the chatting of some students inside their classrooms. Looking at the identification card on my hand, I sighed and read the name plastered on it.
"Saccharide Heinz..." I smirked and admired my deep voice. Brushing backward my hellish hot ash grey hair, I winked at the mirror. "You picked a beautiful body, Angel Caliber. This bastard should have a girlfriend unless he's a faggot then I'm fucked up,"
I just found him walking around the school grounds while smoking cigarettes so, I thought he would just waste his handsome face. His soul should find somewhere more worthy of cigarettes and unworthy deals.
Glad I took it...
The scent of something sweet came suddenly out of nowhere; I looked around and searched for the smell until I felt something in my hands. A beautiful bouquet of carnations and a few packs of seed packets were tightly held by my hands. There was a weird sensation when I pinched the seed packets; there is something metal in there. I didn't know carnation seeds are that hard- Big even!
Carnations...
"Heh. Why the hell did he need this...?" I said to myself. "Psh. Such a waste!"
A trash bin caught my eyes. At the exact moment, a boy wearing headphones saw me throwing the bouquet of carnations straight to the trash bin without hesitation. I followed his movements until he was nowhere inside the comfort room.
"I want your Bad Romance! Ooohhhhh ohooohooo ohoho! Caught in a Bad Romance," he sang along, his body shook in a weird way matching his out-of-tune voice.
"Psh. GAY" Shrugging to that awkward moment, I smiled and became thankful that he's wearing his headphones.
It would have been bad if he heard the crazy shits I just said. Oh! How rumors fly in New York. Needless to say, I don't think the City of Love is no different.
"I am now Saccharide Heinz..." I smiled at myself, looking myself in the mirror.
Exiting the comfort room, I heard chattering with laughter across one side of the corridor. I strode over there to see what's going on because I didn't hear that before I came to the comfort room.
"Raine! Raine! Raine!" I heard cheering.
The people surrounding a girl sitting at a desk who was writing something cheered for her in a synchronized pattern. I have to know what's going on so, I tiptoed to see what will happen.
"He's here!" Someone shouted when they saw me, but I just ignored it, thinking that he was referring to the person beside me.
"Raine! Raine! Raine!" They continued.
I stayed silent.
She is just a normal girl.
She was nothing to be cheered on.
I stepped out of there and I stopped when I heard an angelic voice behind me.
"Saccharide!!! WAIT!" I turned around and saw her waving a paper in front of me.
"I finished the poem you were writing. It's hard because I don't do poetry that much but for you, I made it possible. For me, this is the sign of our marriage contract someday... Ahem!" the girl shyly narrated as we all listened.
Her face was in a flush red state exhausted for some reason. She was a nerd type with a large lump of clothes covering her body, but her beauty is not covered, it was indeed evident. Her brown hair was untidy but was still in a neat ponytail, her auburn brown eyes reminded me of caramel-filled red-dyed chocolates in New York.
I only stared at her because I don't know what she meant by contract, whatsoever. And I have no intention to neither ask nor waste my time to open my mouth. Everything went silent, the total opposite of the atmosphere a while ago.
"Saccharide..." she muttered before going silent again. She opened her mouth as I raised my eyebrow as a sign of discomfort and growing impatience. "I just want to let you know again that I love you..." she beamed a smile at me that seemed to make the day shine brighter.
Well, those words made me roll my eyes. I've seen many girls like you. This is the 16th time of my existence. And never have I ever seen a girl that is worthy of my love and passion. Cheesy shit, but true!
"Saccharide Heinz...
Nothing is permanent.
Everything will come to an extent.
Where every one of us will bend,
But I know you are here to mend...
I wasted my ink
Just to fully link...
You to myself.
You' means 'You are the Only Ultimate' guy for myself...
'Myself' can mean Me Selfish..."
Selfishness cannot be tolerated. It's not true love. You should entitle that poem of yours 'Infatuation.' I faced the other direction to walk away, ignoring the added whispering in the background.
"Yes, I don't want to share you with the world..."
Those words caught my very attention. As the wind made her hair flew in so many directions.
A reckless angel wasting her love on a jerk. Cliché!
Such a love story.
"Cross my heart and stab it with a sword...
I swore...
To love you...
It's like I'm the Princess and you're the pea...
Or maybe just the opposite?
But I'll get real...
If it takes one... No two... or three decades for you to decide
Then I'll stay by your side...
Waiting for that answer...
Because every minute with you is better...
Than the words, I could utter...
Now I ask you, will you accept the love that I will offer?"
That's the last phrase she said before looking into my eyes like she was hoping to get lost in there and to find her desired answer.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!!!" The crowd once again cheered. Some of the kids threw their hands around my shoulder and kept on nudging me while I just stood there sluggishly. Some clapped and convinces me to say yes. Some simply joined quietly and patted Raine's back.
They pushed her closer to me so I can now see her up close. The assholes even begged us to kiss but thank God, the girl was much smarter and stopped them.
"So... The silence means 'Yes'...?" she asked shyly when the environment was dead silent once more.
I didn't answer and just pushed away the people blocking my way. Looking back is never on my mind so I continued walking and climbing down the flight of stairs, scaring a few juniors on my way there.
"Klavier! Hey- She's alright!" A group of students came rushing upstairs as I looked straight on my way. For some reason, when my eyes met the eyes of the panting teenager in a rush for something, I stopped and followed his stature while climbing up the stairs. I just rolled my eyes when I realized it was the guy singing 'Bad Romance' in the comfort room.
"I told you, leaving her there with that bastard is not a very good idea, huh?" some guy complained to his friend behind him as they tried to keep up with their running friend.
"C'mon, the gal's hurtin'. Hurry up!" the boy replied with a wild Texan accent, finally turning to the left to climb the next flight of stairs. I continued my journey until I exited the building.
I wandered around the building and other places on the campus until I came face to face with a large gate, made of fine gold. The vines that wrapped around the loops of the metal gold complement its appearance. I stripped away the metal chains locking the gate before taking a sniff of the fresh air and a look at beautiful assorted carnations on the ground.
"Wow... Now I regret throwing that bouquet of carnations," I said in my mind before pushing the gate open to enter the carnation-filled paradise.
I smiled and took some shade under the tree where carnation buds are surrounding it. I picked one up, not caring if it's illegal or not. I twirled it with my fingers before taking a quick whiff of its fragrance.
"Raine... You're not in my mind," I said to myself. "Where the fuck are you?"
I don't know why I remembered the girl from a while ago by just looking at these carnations, but her face suddenly came up, especially her smile. How come I never scanned the girl on this boy's mind? They have something going on between them, but I can't see her in his mind. Am I skipping something...?
The only things that I skip back then are exam questions-err
Angels like me were considered lucky because we can completely remember every detail of our past lives. Some reincarnated angels can't reminisce about their past life, that's why they don't know how to use their chances, well until they die, that is. Most reincarnated angels can remember, but it's very selective and not complete.
That's the reason why most people remember seeing someone they recognize in their dreams, the same applies when you remember being in a place you recognize. It's deja vus or some shit.
We also can switch bodies but if we want to switch again, we must kill the home of the soul which is the physical body. That's why I killed Haze Anthony heh- I killed myself. Sometimes we are the reason why some people behave differently because our personalities were mixed with them.
Crazy right? It's what they call. Facade...
"So you finally broke the girl, My liege...?" I heard someone say before I felt some movement beside me. "She's crying like crazy and now everyone knows that you're back to becoming the real Saccharide Heinz once more."
I chuckled looked at the guy I know as Phoenix. He's the co-leader of my gang. He's like a brother, but that's too cheesy so I'm going to call him my dog. Well, I remembered this guy, then why can't I remember the Raine girl?
"Hey Phoenix, what is Raine to me...? She's not my girlfriend, is she?" I said while continuously twirling the carnation in my hand.
"You tell me my liege. You're not exactly good when it comes to labels," he laughed and took a pack of cigarettes before offering one to me. "Today, you said that you would announce your forever marriage contract with her, but you just walked away."
I think the tradition of this school about love and marriage is trash!
I pushed the box away as a sign of rejecting the offer. "Whoa. You're turning down cigarettes now..." Phoenix said before tucking in the pack of cigarettes back to the pockets of his jacket.
There is something in my mind that tells me not to smoke another cigarette again.
"I just had some a while ago. Don't think I need that shit anymore," I said and placed the carnation down gently before opening my phone to check the time. "It's fucking late-"
My wallpaper caught my attention; it was a picture of me with a girl named Raine. She's not my girlfriend, but she's my wallpaper. Just what the fuck is going on...? "Ready the other dogs. We're going to speak some sense to that girl" my monotone voice seemed to excite Phoenix because he immediately stood up and bowed.
"At the suite, 5:00, my liege," Phoenix smirked before exiting the garden with the golden gate closing behind him but stopping for a second to exclaim something at me.
"Welcome back, Massacre!"
"Fuck off, Blood Thirst," I screamed back.
Massacre. That's my gang name. Funny that it's pretty accurate, I killed 15 elite bastards already and I don't know if I'm going to find my true love with this guy's body. I mean, everybody's threatened by me, except that bitch, Raine.
Raine...
I opened my phone to look at my wallpaper once more, the longer I stared at it, the more details I uncover. The girl's lip was bleeding; she was covered in some unknown liquid. I don't want to know what that is... And she looked exhausted. Upon examining the picture, my eyes darted at the small clock on the left side of my phone and I realized that I spent my time, looking at this shit.
I'm late for the last period. Shit!
