It is nature's habit of being a mystery of unexpectedness. It doesn't rain when the scorching heat of the sun is almost burning the earth or when it is the season for rain to descend on earth but rather it'd come when earthlings would least expect it. No matter how much technology is advanced towards perfection, nature always turns out to be the superior of all in the end. One such night when it was forecasted that it'll be raining, it didn't rain at all but clouds gathered in the sky creating a dramatic suspense before the arrival of rain.
The silhouette that walked down the lane towards the specific house did not care about these trivial things whether there is a storm raging or whether the nature is calm. The silhouette is in a mission and that mission must be fulfilled. The silhouette stopped at a spot and waited patiently. Right at the correct time, the person appeared for whom the silhouette was waiting. It was a little after the midnight and the person had closed her doctor's chambers to return to her home. In fact it was the usual time to return home. Just as the person turned to the exact spot where the silhouette was waiting, the person felt something sharp on her neck but everything was over within a second or so. The person couldn't even use her voice to scream for help.
The person's life was taken swiftly, smoothly and painlessly.
Rio was aware of the eyes that followed him in school. After the dating stunt that Emilia had pulled that day during the recess was apparently considered to be very cool and dreamlike by most of the girls. So they are still fawning over the cool stunt of Emilia Johannes who still at present is living up to her title as 'Miss Popular' by pulling up cool stunts like that. Among those fawning, squealing girls there are few who were not so happy about the choice of Miss Popular. Of all people, she could have asked out, it turned out to be a just a nerd? They couldn't get help but feel that it'd seem awkward to have a gloomy, boring nerd stand beside the stunning, glorious Emilia Johannes.
To tell the truth, Rio himself wishes to know the answer of this question. Why him? Why him of all people?
But then again, it is the same question that he had asked himself ever since he escaped from that place yet there was nobody who could've answered him.
Why him?
Why was it him that was taken away?
Why did he have to bear all those tortures?
Why did he have to bear the trauma all throughout his life?
What did he do wrong?...just by taking birth? But then again, a child cannot choose in whose womb he/she would take birth.
In fact what was the point in escaping from that hell hole after all when all he could do is survive and not live his life?
"Okay that's it. Could you do me the honors as to why you are being like this?" Rio felt sucked in to the reality after this question was thrown at him by none other than the blonde girl that sat opposite of him in the library. He took a second or two to stabilize himself before he answered; "What are you talking about?"
"So we're going down that path eh?" Emilia murmured. "There is something that's bugging you. Something that is eating you up from the inside like termites yet do not wish to do anything about it! What is it that bugs you, Rio?"
"Why do you care?" He regretted right after he slipped it out he was about to apologize but he stopped himself, wondering where this spilled water would travel up to.
"Why? Because I am your girlfriend."
"Are you now? Wasn't it just a trick to make me fulfill your wish of scoring well in the history unit test?"
"Well, it sure was previously but after you boldly claimed yourself to be my boyfriend in front of Brenda and my aunt, I thought we are going to be serious."
At the mention of that Rio flushed, "That was…!"
"That was what? A momentary mistake? A slip of tongue? A sudden act of boldness? How would you like to define your action Mr. Sanders?"
No answers formed in Rio's mouth. He was speechless. The plan of spilling the milk backfired against him entirely.
"You know what Rio, you're a coward. A fucking coward." She started to pack up her things. He clenched his teeth, fisted his palms as a scream tore out of his lips.
"You think I am doing this willingly? Don't talk like as if you know everything!"
They panted slightly after yelling at each other. Thankfully there is no one else in the library or the librarian; else they'd have been kicked out of there long back. She took sharp breath. "Oh really? Shall we how much I know and how much you do?"
The next few seconds became a blur for Rio as he felt himself being pulled by his collar, expecting to get slapped or punched but was surprised with a kiss. He yelped when she squeezed his buttocks and pulled him flushed to her body, leaving no space between them. Taking advantage of his yelp, she pushed her tongue into his warm cave, exploring like a curious explorer, drinking, licking and biting his lips red. Rio didn't even realize when he was laid down on the wooden table of the library where they were doing research work for their project.
How scandalous!
What if they get caught? What if someone walks in on them?
As if sensing the troublesome thoughts brewing in his mind, Emilia's lips parted from his. "At that time when we kissed and made out in the party, you might've felt guilty because I was yet to announce my break up with Daniel but now that I am your girlfriend, I am free to kiss you," Kiss. "make out with you," Kiss. "and if you want we can even….."
"No! No! S-stop! Stop ri-right there." He pushed her back creating some distance between them. "Aren't we moving too f-fast?" he laid up from the table with her legs in between his.
"Then shall we go on another date?"
"Emilia!"
"What?" She clung to him again, pressing herself to him.
"Y-you're right, we should k-know m-more about each oth---ah~!" A moan erupted from his mouth when Emilia mischievously bit his neck whilst sucking it. "Concentrate Mia!"
"Mia? Did you just call me, Mia?" her eyes shone like a kid who is finally getting her desired candy. "Did I just get a nickname from you? OMG!"
"No you h-heard i-i-it wrong!"
"No I did not! Call me again Rio as Mia~!"
"No!"
"Awww…"
The two bickering couple were so busy in their world that they failed to notice that a pair of eyes have been watching them all this time.
