Chapter 25 - Chapter 24: What a lie.

Fiona woke up to ray of sunlight that peeped from her window, near her study table. She was about getting up, when she came to notice the hand that was wrapped around her waist.

Oh yes! Twilight was still here..., wait?! Twilight was still here. She thought to herself, trying to make sense of why he was still here. He did say he would stay till day break, but she thought he was just tongue clacking, but It was hard to predict him.

She tried getting out of his grip around her waist, when his hold tighten. "Don't move. " Fiona thought he would threaten to stab her again. And maybe this time he would do It, so she just complied.

"Why are still here. " He sniffed her hair, before saying,

" 'Cause I can." He stopped sniffing her hair, which made Fiona feel discomfort. This guy was strange, and little did I know what he was.

"I have to get ready for school." She gulped In. He was just good at doing strange things.

"You mean, we have to get ready for school." He let go of her waist and got up from the bed, to put on his black shoes, that he earlier removed.

Fiona rose up from the bed to look at him, he behaved as If this was his home. She went to stand In front of him.

"What do you mean by that." She set her lips In a thin line, with knitted brows.

"What do you think I mean." He leaned a bit closer to her face, with a small smirk, raising a brow. He leaned away from her. Fiona looked shocked,

Did he mean we should bath together? That was far from happening.

"Huh?" She twitched the side of her upper lips up. "You have truly lost It. We can't clearly bath together, you must be dreaming. Besides, you Invited yourself. So go to your own home, or any other place, I don't care." She looked Irritated, where as Twilight looked amused.

He chuckled softly. "What a silly girl. Who wants to bath with you. You might of mistook my words." He put his hand Into his pocket, while using the other to adjust the hood of his white hoody, which was left open. "When I said we had school to go to, did I say I would bath with you? You like to Imagine nonsense. Who has lost It now. " He raised an eyebrow.

Fiona looked ashamed. "You wish I would Imagine such, I only assumed that's what you meant." She was about walking away, when he held her wrist softly. She looked at him with a questioning look.

"What do you want this time. " She asked him, who looked like he wasn't done pestering her.

"What a lie, Miss Marvin. Don't you wish I could clean you up." He rubbed his thumb on her wrist. Fiona looked Irritated, before she unleashed her wrist from his hold.

"Your disgusting. " As she was about walking away, he pushed her against a wall.

"Twilight. " She looked at him dismayed

"Really? I'm disgusting. " He asked her, while she glared at him. He put his hands on the side of the wall, preventing her from running away. "Tell me Miss Marvin, how disgusting am I? " He jerked his head at her.

Fiona wondered when he became this troublesome, or had he been like this, but he rarely spoke to her. From their third encounter, In the cafeteria, he seemed to hate her.

"I won't answer your question." He was about replying her, when a knock on the door was heard.

"Miss Fiona. " One of the helpers said from behind the door. Fiona went to answer the helper, after Twilight had freed her from his hand cage.

She opened the door halfway, where the helper could only see her face, and barely Inside the room.

"Yes, Miss Hailey." Fiona smiled at her.

"Good morning, Miss Fiona. Breakfast Is ready. " She Informed her, after greeting. Fiona always missed to greet people, like her tongue was twisted when It came to that. She felt greeting was a waste of time, when you can get straight to the point.

"I'll be there. " She then closed the door, to look back at where Twilight had been standing, but he had vanished. Just like that, puff!

Fiona wondered how he disappeared, but she was glad he was gone. The boy was a headache.

She had her bath and breakfast, and went to school.

As she entered her class, she was surprised to see Twilight, fully dressed and seated.

She just went to her seat and sat down. "Good morning, Fiona. " Aviva greeted her, who seemed to be looking at Twilight. Aviva looked In the direction she was looking at, before tapping her.

"Sorry, how are you? " Fiona said like she was knocked out of a trance.

"You seem to be falling for the mysterious Twilight Fall." Aviva said jokingly.

"He wishes. " She opened her notebook and began writing something. "You don't know the half of It. That boy Is truly something. " Fiona smirked, still writing something down on her book.

"Just tell me If you like him yet, so I can be your chaperone." Aviva winked at her.

"I rather like a mad dog. " Fiona Insulted, while Aviva just laughed.

After their lessons, they both went to the cafeteria.

"So Fiona.... " Aviva called her, who was busy eating her chips.

"Mhm. " Fiona mumbled.

"....I was thinking on Valentine's Day, me and you could go on a double date. " Fiona coughed on hearing what she said.

"Double what?! Okay, even If I go with you, who would be my date, then. " She sipped on her drink.

"Duh! Is that a question. Twilight or Fredrick off course. " Aviva used her fork to stab her vegetables she was eating, before putting It In her mouth.

"Your silly." Aviva just giggled.

They were enjoying their meal, not until an uninvited guest, brought himself to join them.

"Good afternoon Miladies. " Fredrick greeted them, after settling his tray of food on the table, before he sat down.

"Fredrick?! " Fiona looked at him, who sat on the empty chair next to her. "What a surprise. I hadn't seen you for a while, since the party. " Fiona smiled at him, he then smiled back.

Aviva just looked at them from the other end of the table, not minding to exchange pleasantries with him.

"About the party... "He placed a hand on hers, which made her smile awkwardly. "I'm sorry about what happened with Silver. I didn't expect such to happen. " She then released her hand from his hold, to place It at her sides.

"It's not a problem. Me and Silver always had our own wounds to patch up." She assured him.

"May I sit with you then." Aviva face looked like he had already done the obvious.

"You can stay. As you have already Invited yourself." Aviva cut In, smiling, which didn't reach her eyes.

"So...., how have you been. " Fredrick Ignored Aviva, like she was a chatter box.

"Been good. How about you? " She asked him, as the smile on his face widened. If only he knew If she was fine or not. 'Cause what she has been going through was just the beginning, she thought.

"I have been good too. Just volunteered to work at the animal shelter. " Fiona sipped on her drink, before she smiled at him.

"That's wonderful. So your part of the 'Animal club', then. " She asked him.

"Yes, what a smart girl you are." His words made her blush. "So which club are you going for."

"I haven't thought of anyone yet." She looked at Aviva, who looked like she wanted to stab him with her fork. "Aviva, which club do you think we should go for."

"How about the 'Learn how to have manners', club. " She glared at Fredrick In a way Fiona didn't notice. She was re-thinking the whole ship with him and Fiona.

"I don't think that's a club." She looked back at Fredrick, who still had a smile on his face, like he wasn't tired of doing It all the time.

"How about you make a 'Get a new friend', club. I heard lots of people would love a club like that." He mocked Aviva. Aviva stabbed her veggies, like Fredrick symbolized the veggies, and the fork was her stabbing him.

"I'll just check the available clubs later." Fiona heard a chair being dragged, when someone settled It at their table sitting next to her.

"Good day. " Twilight held an expressionless face, like he was forcing himself to greet. Fiona looked shocked that he came to sit next to her, but judging the type of person he was, he would even go the extra mile to Invade your space.

"Greetings." Fredrick greeted him, but he Ignored his fake gestures. Where as Aviva held a smile on her face, Fiona looked like her day just got worst.

"Twilight." Aviva called him for the first time, and he looked at her with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Fiona was having difficulties choosing a club, how about you help her. " Aviva looked at Fiona, who sent sharp glares at her.

"Really...." He looked at her, who looked at him back. "How about you go for a 'jester club' It does suit you after all." Aviva was the only one who found It funny, where as Fiona and Fredrick looked pissed. But Fredrick, still kept a smile on his face.

Fiona was about talking when Fredrick cut In. "Well I think she would fit for a 'Beauty club'." Fredrick smiled at her, who then smiled back.

"Then I should come check out If her clothes at home will match up to the beauty. Just like I did yesterday. " Fiona's eyes widened. What game was Twilight playing here. But between the two brothers, they were mocking the other.

"Then I will come over to check too." Fredrick smiled at Twilight, who looked serious.

"Fiona's parents don't like the uninvited to visit. " Just like how you visited my room last night, Fiona thought.

"Is that so. What If Fiona invites me, then." He looked at Fiona, who was confused If they were still talking about the club or not

"Um.... I just wanted to pick a club." She looked at her food, not wanting to look at anyone.

"You are picking a club. I'm helping you to do so." Said Fredrick, she then moved her gaze to him.

"How about we all check later for a club." Aviva suggested. Twilight just ate his meal, like he didn't have time to careless of what she does.

"I think we should head to class now. " Fiona got up from her sit, signalling Aviva to follow her.

"I'll catch up to you. " Fiona smiled at her, then at Fredrick, before she went back to class.

She entered the class to meet only Eden, making out with a girl.

Fiona just looked at him with disgust, he continued like no one just entered the class.

He then stopped after some seconds, spanking the girl slightly on the bottom, before she smiled sexily and left.

"You like Interrupting me, don't you?" He came to stand In front Fiona's seat, with a smile on his face, where as Fiona looked Irritated.

"Forgive me for Intruding In your Indecent behaviour." She glared at him, who dropped the smile on his face, placing his hands on her table.

"If you don't watch your tongue, I will just use mine to help you control It. " He leaned a bit closer to her, licking his lower lips.

"Try anything funny, and you'll regret It. " She said, still glaring at him, who Inched closer to her, before she dashed a slap across his face, which resulted In his face turning to the side.

He touched the place where she had slapped, and smirked at her. "What a wild girl. That's how I like It. " He stepped away from her table, looking at her with a grin on his face. "Now you'll regret that. " He then exists the class, while she watched his retreating back.

Fiona rethought her actions, but somewhere In her mind, said he deserved that. He looked happy for someone who had almost been killed by a monster. I wonder why he didn't plunder over his encounter with the creepy creature that wanted to eat him. Same with Ramila, she also haven't said anything about seeing something at the party.

Or did Twilight do something to make them forget? She pushed that thought aside and focused on her jottings for the Museum, which she would have a test on.
