Third Person

Oeillet de règne Académie: Left Wing Corridor

10:23 A.M.

Racquel tried her best to calm the enraged male. Her black stilettos tried keeping up with his sonic long legs taking long stride along the halls and she tried keeping up with his complaining mouth.

"My butt was on the brink of being groped by lint encrusted slender fingers for nothing," Klavier exclaimed.

"Klavier," Racquel called, but the urge to look somewhere came to her. She then turned her head on the side and witnessed the big cloud of smoke coming from the right-wing of their Academy; she stopped for a moment before she stared at the cloud.

"Poor baby girl... His boyfriend is a douchebag then her only haven was destroyed," Klavier exclaimed which brought the girl back to reality. "The only luck she has is having me and you as her best friend..."

"Wait up!" she called out.

Her heels clicked on the floor as she ran to catch up with the male at the end of the corridor where the nurse's office is located. "Calm down just a bit, Klavier," the blonde girl giggled and hung unto Klavier's bicep to keep the male from walking too fast.

"Whew! Alright... I'll tell myself to calm down after seeing this piece of paper" the male's sarcasm made the girl roll his eyes.

"I wanted to punch Romie for giving me back this shit!" Klavier pulled out a crumpled paper from his pants and showed Racquel.

"Do you want to punch yourself for keeping it?" the blondie giggled and snatched it from the boy's clasped. She examined the paper and raised one eyebrow, opening it never crossed her mind.

"It's just paper. Don't make such big fuzz over it," she beamed the male a smile, which made him stop walking and getting the paperback from her smooth palm.

"Oh, don't judge a paper by its appearance. Let's read the content, shall we?" Klavier straightens the crumpled paper while the blondie just crossed her arms, waiting for her friend to stop acting exaggeratedly.

"Dear Raine Aksenov—" he started with a mellow voice.

Wait for it...

"BURN TO ASHES JUST LIKE YOUR CARNATIONS!" Klavier's voice thundered as he rips the paper into pieces and still stuffed his pockets with the shredded paper after witnessing no trashcan nearby.

Racquel shook her head and finally entered the Nurse's office, leaving the male outside. Klavier followed her shortly after breaking down over the note.

The two continued to annoy each other as they walk towards Raine's room in the clinic. Before they could open the door, Romie greeted them before slowly closing the door behind him.

"Shhh..." he whispered and pointed at the door. "You'll wake up Raine..."

Klavier sighed, "Alright, I'll take a graceful leak before I see a baby girl..."

The gray-haired lad exited and left the two students standing in front of Raine's room. Racquel smiled sweetly before asking, "Can I enter now?"

"No! I mean you can, but Raine's sleeping and she told me she wants to be alone there," the boy was a great actor, but he wasn't good with his pretending without a script this time.

"Sir Edward sent us here to guard Raine so—" Racquel pouted, but she didn't finish her sentence when Romie smashed his lips on her soft ones.

It was at random, but Racquel made the kiss deeper, too deep for the boy's likeness. He didn't plan for this but he needed to say the truth to the blondie before his action escalates into a serious situation.

Raine tricked him by saying that a girl will shut up if you kiss her and so he did, with Raine's girl best friend.

Looks like he'll the one who's going to shut up...

"Raine's gone!" he confessed and pulled away from the kiss. "She begged me to guard the door and not to let you guys enter be—"

The girl was blushing and didn't even comprehend what the brown-haired lad had said because the only thing in her mind was to get him in bed, tied and ready to be silent.

"You're not good at keeping secrets, but you might learn it today..." Racquel said and dragged the flustered male inside the room. "Let's see what you can perform Romien Travis..."

"Wait! I—"

...

The nurse just shrugged her shoulders after seeing the scene and thought about how will she get the stain on the white sheets off by tomorrow by just using powdered soap.

"I guess I'll have to request another budget raise for the clinic," the nurse sighed and continued doing her paperwork.

Oeillet de règne Académie: Theatre

10:20 A.M.

His gleaming eyes looked around the fairly lit theatre. The expectation did not strike him this time, he already pictured his girl on the stage with Klavier and Romien rehearsing and Racquel will scold him for arriving late—

"Where the fuck are they?"

—but no single soul was inside the room.

'It's only 10 in the morning. Why is no one here?' he thought and closed the heavy doors of the theatre behind him.

Digging in his pockets, he pulled his phone out and dialed the contact number of his girl. He brought it up to his ear and waited for an answer. The continuous ringing made him crazy as he started to panic about this little thing.

Should he go to her dorm?

"Come on Raine," he muttered under his breath.

Should he search for the school?

"Why won't you answer?!" he exclaimed and ran back inside the theatre, leaving the door wide open to hear the familiar ring tone somewhere.

"You are my sunshine..."

There it is...

"Raine..."

He ran in circles, searching where the sound is coming from. Hearing it from backstage, he did not waste any time and jumped on the high front stage.

"My only sunshine..."

He landed and the sound of his shoes hitting the wooden floor echoed throughout the room. Carelessly he pulled the big draperies out of the way in searching for the ringing device.

"You make me happy when skies are grey~"

He found it along with Raine's casual uniform. Turning off his phone, he grabbed Raine's clothes from the floor and sniffed all of the scents before smiling.

"I wish I could find you just by smelling you" he chuckled before hanging the clothes properly on his shoulders and putting Raine's phone in his other pocket.

Saccharide was ready to go out when the heavy theatre door made its usual creepy creaking noise when opened to its maximum joint.

Luckily he had his discarded tie around his neck that can be used for strangling, he pulled the tie out of his neck and hid in the dark. Feeling his other pocket, he grinned when he felt a thumbscrew.

"Useful..." he muttered and gripped the small screw in his hand.

It's been so long when he killed someone and in this dark theatre was the time to satisfy that hunger. He peeked out and saw a chubby officer looking around with a flashlight in hand.

"I thought I heard a bang in here," the fat officer scratched his bald head before turning on his radiophone. "I'm not 'just' hearing it, the door was open! C'mere we need to investigate— what do you mean you have someone to inspect first?"

Saccharide sighed, relieved that he doesn't have to take this as a threat. He regained his posture and pretended to look for something.

"Officer. Why are you here?" the grey-haired male softly asked before jumping off the stage with Raine's uniform in his hand.

"So you're the one who created the sound?" pointed out the officer.

"I'm just looking here for something and I accidentally tripped because of the dark," he explained and chuckled while the officer looked at him suspiciously.

"Well Sir, I need you to go back to your classroom," the officer smiled and escorted the boy out of the theatre. "All the students are confined for now..."

"Uhm...What happened here?" Saccharide asked, feeling the tension in the atmosphere.

"You're not listening to the announcements earlier," the officer sighed and patted his back. "Only students with asthma attacks are allowed to go home..."

"Fill me in please Sir," the younger male requested while walking towards the senior building.

"I have no time to explain what happened to the garden fire to you so, I have—"

Fire...?

"Garden..."

They both stopped climbing the stairway to the second floor when the cop's radiophone produced static noises. He reached out and answered the device.

"Hold on..." he said and tried to comprehend the inaudible words and the static noises that came along with it.

"An injured girl is begging to enter the closed area. I said make sure that all of them is confined" the voice on the radio was evidently angry, judging the tone of the male on the other line.

"A girl?! Keep her there I'll take her after I take care of this boy first," the cop exclaimed.

Saccharide wasted no time and jumped down the stairs without taking any injuries while the busy cop talks to the radio phone. He sprinted towards the direction of the garden without looking back to the cop.

"Hey, Kid! You can't go there," he called out.

The fat officer took his time climbing down the few steps down the stairs before finally trying to catch up with the boy.

"Little brat! — slow down and cooperate!"

His legs felt heavy than usual and his chest tightened as the boy turned to the other direction with his polo shirt flying like a cape behind him.

"Too fast...!" the man with obesity stopped and leaned on one of the walls before following the boy's running path with his blurry sight.

Even with years of training, the cop never achieved the speed of the teenage male, he was chasing him for merely half a minute and he was already drowning in exhaustion and greasy sweat.

After he lost the boy in his captured sight, he took out his radiophone once more and breathed out on the poor device.

"Ey, Chris! Where the fuck are you? Help me with this kid! I don't want to babysit at the crime scene. Over! Shit, where the fuck are you?! Get over here!" shouted out the drained police officer then wiped his sweat-soaked forehead with the back of his hand.

He heard the familiar static glitches before his partner answered, "I have something to do first, Draide— Over!"

With little energy left, he began walking at a normal pace to the crime scene, hoping that the sonic boy didn't cause any trouble.

"Damn that kid's fast!" he sighed. "Chris you owe me a soda pop after this..."
