"Looks like you still know how to hold back." Lolite casually walked into the room with Hivor.
"Looks like your nose is as sensitive as ever," smirked Hivor. "Do you plan on fighting me?"
"We can't. If we did this whole school would be in ruins." Lolite sat down in a seat.
Lolite looked at Hivor "Now that we have some free time. Why don't you go ahead and tell me why you left the student council."
Hivor warm but cold eyes looked at Lolite, "I guess. I'll start at the beginning,"
7 months ago...
"This class is so boring..." Hivor was in a class full of top tire students. "The teacher's voice is boring. This room is boring...Ugh." Hivor slammed his head down on his desk so he could feel anything else besides boredom.
A few hours later when the class ended.
Hivor stood up and was trying to get out of the class as fast as he could. Then suddenly he bumped a girl.
"Oh, my bad." Hivor looked at the incredibly cute girl and got distracted.
Until the girl glared at him, "Move." The girl demanded.
Hivor stepped to the side and she walked past, "I'm going for it." Hivor thought to himself.
"Ay yo wait up!" Hivor ran up behind her.
"What?" The girl didn't even stop walking or look at him.
"I just want to know your name. And what you are doing later tonight." Hivor slid in front of her and walked backward.
"Why does either of those things matter to you?" She kept walking like a robot.
"Because I thought you were cute and I wanted to know if I could take you out," Flirted Hivor.
"I have more important things to do than go out with you." She responded coldly.
"So when you're free you will go out on a date with me. Nice! Where do you want to go?" Hivor smiled.
The girl stopped, "That's not what I men-"
"Ooh, how bout we get some food? We can sit on top of the dorms?" Hivor suggested.
"..." The girl just looked at him, "I have somewhere important to be. Please move."
Hivor hesitated..."My bad." Hivor stepped to the side and let her pass.
"My name is Turisa. You better not forget it after bothering me so much," demanded Turisa as she walked away.
Hivor smiled big "I won't." then he jumped in the air excitedly. And danced away.
Turisa walked to the student council room.
When she got there the former leader was waiting there. His name is Snark. He has hot pink hair and dark pink eyes. He's 3rd year.
"You're back," Snark said as he set down some of the paperwork he was doing.
"Of course I am sir," Turisa responded.
"Just go ahead and sit down and I'll tell you if I have any work for you." Snark picked back up his paperwork. "In the meantime why don't you tell me how your day was?"
Turisa put her hand on her chin and thought about it. "My day? I guess it was as normal as any other day...Well, there was a boy that asked me on a date today."
"Oh really? What did you say?" Snark looked a bit more interested.
"I didn't say anything." Turisa gave a half-truth.
"good, you don't need yourself distracted with boys like that." Snark looked back down at his paper. "Do you know the boy's name?"
"Hmmm...I think it was Hivor." Turisa responded.
Snark scolded "Hivor huh? It looks like I'm gonna have to get him tookin care of." Snark thought to himself.
"Is something wrong?" Turisa asked.
Snark went back to his normal face "Yes, I'm fine."
The next day...
The class was just hitting lunch.
"Hey, Turisa." Hivor jumped over to Turisa as she got up from her seat.
"What?" Turisa answered.
"Wanna eat lunch together?" Chirped Hivor.
She just looked at him for a whole 15 seconds without saying a word. "...Sure."
Hivor whooped, "Nice! Let's go."
They got food then went to the roof to eat. While they were sitting on top of the rooftop of the school.
"Hey, so what type of stuff do you like to do?" Hivor asked.
"...I like to paint." She responded coldly.
"Oo. That's cool. I suck at art but I always enjoyed looking at art. What's your favorite thing to paint?" Hivor responded warmly.
"I think, to paint the stars and water. It's something about the stars and the water that is beautiful." She looks up to the sky and closed her eyes.
At that moment Hivor saw how beautiful her curly but yet elegant hair was, blowing in the wind as the sun gently reflects. Her smooth like silk skin.
"The stars are beautiful. But in my opinion, even the small thing we take for granted like stars are beautiful. Like how trees are things that grow out of the ground and become this strong thing that helps us breathe. To how the wind makes water move gently." Hivor took a deep breath as he looked up at the blue deep sky.
"I feel the same way." Turisa opened her eyes and looked at Hivor who then looked at her back in her deep blue eyes.
"Can I one day see your paintings?" Hivor asked as he sunk deeper into her eyes.
"...Yes you may." She responded back, falling into his as well.
Then suddenly they were interrupted. "What are you doing?" Snark growled as he stood over the both of them.
"S-snark!?" Turisa yelped.
"We're eating lunch. Is there a problem?" Hivor responded.
"Turisa I thought I said you shouldn't be around people like him?"Snark scolded Turisa.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Hivor stood up.
"Exactly what you think it means." Snark got in Hivor's face.
"Backdown puppy," Hivor smirked.
"What did you call me?" Snark got more irritate.
"Calm down." fretted Turisa.
"I am the head of the student council. I will ruin your life." Snark glared.
"I don't give a damn," Hivor responded calmly.
"Let's got Turisa," Snark said, as he walked off.
Turisa looked at Hivor then bowed her head to Hivor then followed Snark.
"What a dick." Hivor was Irritated like a bug just kept flying next to his ear. Hivor calmed down and sat down on the roof. He took deep breaths until he fell asleep.
A few hours later...
Hivor slowly opened his eye under the night sky. Then he looked at the 6 people who surrounded him.
"Do yall need something?" Hivor asked.
They all just stood there in silence...Then a man rushed at Hivor! And before the man knew he was knocked out. Hivor didn't even seem to stand up yet.
"That was dumb of him, you all are from my class, right? You must all think I'm weak because every time it's time to practice sparring I get knocked out first. I was taking the fall on purpose." Hivor's eyes pierced them like daggers. "So which one of you want to find out why I always take the fall on purpose?" They didn't feel any power come of him but his eyes made them lightheaded and scared.
"That's what I thought." Hivor stood up and walked right past the group of people and left.
When Hivor left the group dropped to their knees.
The next day at lunch...
"Yo Turisa. Wanna go eat together?" Bubbled Hivor.
She looked at him for a moment "I can't eat lunch with you anymore."
"Why? Is it because of that guy?" Hivor's smile turned into a grin.
"...I have to go-"
"Wait!" Hivor grabbed her hand before she could leave.
"Don't-!" Turisa stopped in the middle of her burst "I'm not...getting the feeling..." Turisa thought to herself looked at Hivor.
"Sorry." lamented Hivor and let go of her hand.
She looked at him for a second. "It's fine...let's go eat." Turisa turned and started walking away.
Hivor slowly beamed then jumped into the air then followed. They got what they wanted then walked to the roof. They sat down on the floor and leaned their backs on the gate that kept you from falling off the roof.
"So...You wanna talk about it?" Hivor asked as he took a bite of his food.
"About what?" Turisa looked at him.
"Why so much fear jumped into you when I grabbed you."
Turisa sat there for a moment then looked at the sky.
"You must never tell anyone about this," Turisa demanded.
"Of course." Hivor gave her a reassuring smile.
"Alright...When I was younger I would constantly have to train. Every time I was caught doing otherwise while I trained, I would get beat by my dad. This started when I was 4 years old and it continued to happen until I finally left to this school. The cold stare he would give me every time before he was about to beat me. It still haunts me till this day." Turisa curled up in a ball and started shivering.
Suddenly Hivor wrapped his arm around her shoulder and brought her close and made her lean on him.
"Well, I got your back. So you can relax now." Hivor smile beamed.
"Every time a man touche's me a sudden feeling of fear overcomes me. But for some reason your different." Turisa looked at him in curiosity.
"Mabey it's love." Hivor chuckled.
Turisa face turned red "Shut up!" Then she punched Hivor in the face.
"Ok, I kinda deserved that." Hivor held his nose.
"Yeah, you did." Turisa snuggled back up to Hivor's side.
Hivor just smiled and relaxed.
3 hours later...
Turisa slowly woke up "Huh? Did I fall asleep?" She looked around then looked at Hivor. His red hair reflecting in the moonlight. Then she looked at his lonely lips and her face began to turn red.
"Love huh? It might be." Turisa smiled then kissed him on the cheek next to his lips and got up and left.
"Holy shit, Holy shit, Holy shit, Holy shit!!" Bubbled Hivor in his head. He was awake the whole time.
The next day Hivor came to the school beaming. He had a bounce in his step and he was damn near dancing. He entered the class and hummed to his seat.
"Alright now that everybody is here listen up! The elite class has been assigned its very first mission on the battleground." The teacher announced. This caught everybody's attention. "We have a mission to hold down a base. We leave in 10 minutes so get ready! This is a place you can die at so everybody prepare yourself."
"This is sudden. If they are sending us there then they must be desperate." Hivor thought to himself. Then he looked at Turisa and rushed over to her. "You good over here?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm a little nervous though. This is so abrupt." Turisa sweated a little.
"Don't worry I got your back all the way through." Hivor patted her on the back and smiled.
She felt calmer because of that. She nodded then stood up. 10 minutes later the class was loaded up onto carriages.
In Hivor's carriage sat him, Turisa, Lolite, and Snark.
"Looks like we're all going to be in this carriage for a while so... why don't we introduce ourselves." Hivor tried to break the awkward silence. "I'll go first. Hey, my name is Hivor nice to meet the two of you." Hivor looked at Snark and Lolite.
"Don't talk to me," Snark responded rudely.
"How are you even here? I didn't know you were in the elite class." Hivor eyes darted at Snark.
"I request to be here as the student council leader."
"Well screw you. How bout you?" Hivor looked at Lolite.
"My name is Lolite. Nice to meet the two of you." Lolite focused on only Turisa and Hivor.
"My name is Turisa. Nice to meet you."
"Lolite I can tell me and you are going to get along. We both already have something in common, we don't like one of the people in this carriage." Hivor and Lolite's eyes darted at Snark.
"I bet we will." Lolite and Hivor smiled at each other.
"This going to be a long ride," Turisa thought to herself.
"What's in your backpack by the way?" Hivor pointed at the bag on Lolite's lap.
"Some of my chemistry stuff. Nothing much." Lolite responded.
Later when the carriages stopped at night. While Hivor, Turisa, Lolite, and some other people were chilling around a campfire.
"You." Snark glares and points at Hivor, "Come with me." Snark started walking. Hivor just grinned and got up and followed. They walked a little bit into the forest.
"You like Turisa don't you?" Hivor asked Snark.
"...Yes I do." Snark turned around and looked Hivor in the eyes. "And I know you like her. So I think you see the problem here."
"I do. So I got an Idea. We should be friends." Hivor reached out his hand and smiled.
"That's your plan? Why would I want to be friends?" Snark looked irritated.
"So that way whoever ends up with her the person who didn't, won't hold a grudge toward the other person." Hivor didn't break eye contact to show him he was for real.
"...Whatever." Snark shook Hivor's hand "Just don't get sad when she chooses me." Snark grinned.
"Look at that. First time I seen you smile." Hivor smiled back.
"It's supposed to be a competitive smile!" chided Snark as got in Hivor's face.
"Ay, a smile is a smile." Hivor teased.
"Shut up!" Snark yelled at Hivor as they went back to camp.
Then the next morning they rode in the carriage talking to each other.
"You shouldn't be so relaxed. We are heading to a battlefield." Snark huffed as he kicked Hivor's leg.
"What? So do you want me to be panicked?" Hivor listlessly responded with his head leaned back outside the carriages.
"No, I'm just saying you should be a little more on guard!" Snark retorted. "And look at me when we are speaking!" Snark demanded.
Hivor yawned "...No."
"Looks they're getting along." giggled Lolite.
"This is the most of seen them...interact this far," Turisa responded.
A few hours later the class stopped at a lake for a rest.
Hivor was getting a drank of the water from the river.
"Refreshing." Hivor laid on his back and relaxed. Then he felt somebody standing over him. "What's sup Turisa?" He didn't need to open his eyes to know who it was.
"Just seeing what you were doing." She sat down next to him.
"Nothing, just relaxing." He yawned.
"You always look so peaceful." She gave Hivor a bright smile as the wind blew.
"Having fun?" Snark interrupted rudely.
"Yeah." Hivor smiled.
"Be more on guard! You are going to a war zo-" Hivor cut off Snark's nagging by splashing him with some river water.
"Seemed like you need to cool off." Smirked Hivor.
Snark just stood there with his clothes wet. Then he took of his shirt. Hivor hurry up and took off his shirt, then Snark tackled Hivor into the water. Hivor threw Snark off him and they both got to their feet and looked at each other. Hivor was smirking and Snark was frowning.
There was silence...students watch trying not to make a peep.
Then Suddenly Hivor kicked a big wave at Snark! Snark quickly jumped back and froze the water then punched It and sent chunks of ice at Hivor. Hivor glided through the chunks of ice like water then made a small hurricane mixed with lightning and sent it at Snark. Snark dodged it but it was tracking him and Snark had to keep dodging. Suddenly Snark's foot was frozen in the river which led him to get hit with Hivor's attack! It knocks Snark to the ground and before Snark could get up Hivor was already ginning in Snark's face. Then he gently splashed Snarks face.
"I win." Hivor teased Snark.
"Shut up," Snark growled as Hivor helped him up.
"That was cool!" Lolite whooped.
"Don't egg them on," Turisa said, wearily as put her hand on her head and shook it left and right
After that, they all had to get back into the carriages and they traveled till the next sunrise.
After some hours they were finally at the base in what looked like to be the middle of nowhere in a barren land. The base had a few tents and was surrounded by a dirt wall.
One by one the students got out of the carriages and stretched. Then a lady appeared in front of them on the outside of the wall.
"Student! I am Luntined Kanka. As you know this place is a battlefield so have your guard up!" She had black short hair and black eyes.
The students nodded then followed her inside the base. They were led to some tables where they all sat for a little.
"Hmmm. This is weird. They had students come out to a war zone but they don't seem to be doing too bad. Unless they are preparing for something." Hivor pondered.
Soldiers came and sat down with them and didn't say anything.
Then a man with a side fade haircut and was only 5 foot 9. But the energy he was giving off made him feel 10 feet tall. "Attention!" His voice roaded without him even trying. "I am Commander Roy. Refer to me as commander or face the consequences. Look to your left! Now look to your right!" Everybody followed his direction to the T.
"These people are now your brother and sisters in arms! So treat each other as such!" Roy demanded. Nobody was brave enough to go against his rules.
"Commander!" Hivor raised his hand. The atmosphere got heavy as Roy's eyes pierced Hivor and sent a cold as death stare chills down Hivor's spine. "Sorry for interrupting...but we're here because you are preparing for something right? Something so big you needed all the help you can get." Hivor chose his words carefully.
"You are correct. What's coming is no ordinary threat. The dark elves are sending 1000 units our way as we speak." When the students heard that fear rushed over them. "We have a plan to take care of some on their way here...but It will simply not be enough. And noobs will be back here. Preparing..."
"For war..." Hivor finished the sentence and sat down. Thinking and thinking.
"Yes. I know this is sudden but It is simply how it is. Everybody get ready because the attack is coming in a day!"
The same thought passed through everybody's head "Only a day!?"
The commander walked off and went inside his tent.
Everybody just sat there with their mind racing at a billion miles per second.
"Lolite. Can you make something that explodes when it touches fire?" Hivor pointed at her bag.
"Yes, I could. What are you planning?" Lolite grabbed her bag off her back.
"We shouldn't just wait around. We should set traps all around the base." Hivor looks the most serious he ever had.
Suddenly Roy was standing right behind Hivor "That doesn't sound like a bad plan. As commander, I will assist you in this! You may have access to our supplies."
"Thanks, commander!" Hivor bowed a little bit.
"Anybody wants to help follow me!" Roy's voice naturally roared.
Snark and Turisa and a few other people stood up and followed.
Roy led them to the biggest tent. It had a whole bunch of stuff for chemistry.
"Wow~! Look at all this stuff! Oo look at this! Look at that!" Lolite was geeking out and jumping all over the place. The crew just looked at her. "I can definitely work with this! Alright! You want stuff to blow up? I got this. Give me an hour." Lolite cracked her knuckles and got to work.
The crew let her do her thing for an hour.
"While she doing that I'll get some soldiers to dig holes. Whatever she making will be useless if it's spotted. So we'll barrier it." Roy walked off.
Everybody got to work doing everything they could.
An hour later they heard a scream from Lolite's tent!
"What's wrong!?" Roy rushed in.
"It's so beautiful!" It was 7 barrels filled with a strange red liquid. "All you need to do is poor these baby where ever, put fire on it, and then BOOM!" Lolite looked proud of herself.
Roy stared at her and instantly made proud feelings turn into fear "...Good job." Roy told her then he walked out.
"He told me...good job? That felt surprisingly nice." Lolite smiled and sighed a sigh of relief,
Soldiers came into the room and put some of the red liquid and each hole they made and covered them up with dirt. The crescent moon was high in the sky. And all they could do after finishing the holes was wait.
"Ay guys." Hiovr got Lolite, Snark, and Turisa's attention and pulled them over to a corner. "We all came here alive. And we are all going to leave here alive. Got that?" Hivor reached out his fist.
"Oh yeah, defiantly." Lolite reached her fist out and touched Hivor's.
"I already planned on that." Turisa did the same.
They all looked at Snark and waited.
"I'm not touching fist with you people." Snark tried to remain snobby.
"Come~ on...Come~ on...Come~ on." Hivor and Lolite started chanting. "Come~ on! Come~ on!"
"UGh! Alright." Snark touched his fist with Hivor's. "Hivor. You better not die. I and you have things to settle."
"Same to you. Anyway, Let's kick some ass." Hivor smirked. "...Should we have a chant or something?"
"Umm...I can't think of anything." Lolite thought hard.
Turisa and Snark thought in silence.
"Oh I got it. How bout Vivere? It means to live." Hivor beamed.
"That sounds good to me." Turisa nodded her head.
"I guess that's satisfactory." Snark agreed.
"Yep." Lolite smiled.
"Alright on three."
"1,2,3, Vivere!"
See ya next time...
