After the kiss incident that happened the other day at the hospital, Crisanto was riding his bike towards the school, but he couldn't think straight.
Crisanto was still thinking about the kiss. 'Does she really like me? Or is the kiss only a thank you for me? Gahh!! This stupid feelings are making me go crazy!' He thought as he peddled faster.
He then noticed that his bike was headed to someone up ahead. "Ahh!! Look out!!" The person look at him and their eyes widened as Crisanto's bike was coming towards them in a fast pace.
The person managed to dodge by dodging to the side causing the bike to crash into the bushes including Crisanto who fell off it. "Argh, what the hell... " Crisanto groaned as he was about to stood up, but a hand was offered to him.
"Are you okay?" A familiar voice asked him, he took the offer and dusted his clothes of from the dirt that got onto his clothes as he pulled the leaves out of his hair.
When Crisanto was done, he look at the person who offered him a hand, and his eyes widened in recognition, as the same goes to the person. "Your the one who almost do something to her in the alley!!/ Your the one who interrupted me in the alley!!" The two exclaimed in unison.
Eric glared to Crisanto, as Crisanto did the same to him. "What are you doing here?!" They said together again. "Stop emitting me!" Both of them glared in hatred, as they wouldn't back down from each other.
"You two are sounding like having a child fight." Beatrice voice snapped the two out of their glaring contest. "Beatrice, I thought you were already at the school?" Crisanto asked in confusion, as the said girl was always first in school than him. While Eric was puzzled as to why Crisanto called her Beatrice instead of Catherine.
"I'm kinda of a little late since something came up." Beatrice replied Crisanto nodded, but something was off about it since she had a cut on her cheek with a blood gushing out of it.
Which didn't go unnoticed by the two boys. "There's a blood on your cheek." Eric said as he wiped off the blood with the use of his handkerchief that he brought, the action made Crisanto's emotions stirr but he let Eric off the hook for now since is Beatrice clearly injured.
"What happened?" Crisanto demanded an answer, Beatrice however, was surprised by how demanding Crisanto is but nonetheless, she touched her cheek and answered. "It's nothing, I just accidentally slipped off the floor this morning" Beatrice assured them, but in reality, it's not the case, her boss assigned her to another assassination mission before she meet the two boys.
During her assassination, she dodged the bullet that is coming towards her but it still managed to gush her cheek that's why she get the wound, though she didn't noticed it until Eric mentioned it.
"Is that so?" Eric said and Beatrice nod, and then she finally noticed that she didn't properly introduced herself. "Uh... By the way, my name is Beatrice Finley, that's my real name, since I still didn't trust you that time so I didn't tell you my real name, sorry." She said in apology, Eric shrug in response.
"It's a fair reason, and I'm also sorry if I sounded rude that time." Beatrice only waved it off, and walk ahead. "Let's go you two, we're going to be so late. Besides, we shouldn't let Eric to be late in his first day of school yeah?" Beatrice smiled as Crisanto look at her in shock.
"HIS A WHAT?!?!" He yelled in surprise, Eric only smirked and went closer to Crisanto's ear. "May the best man win Crisanto." Crisanto glared at him. "Crystal"
Beatrice took this as the other way around and giggled. "I can see that you two are getting along pretty well it seems. You two could even mistaken as a couple." Beatrice joked.
"WE ARE NOT!" The two exclaimed, but they saw that Beatrice is already walking far from them, the two catches up to her after Crisanto fetched his bike.
The two boys watched Beatrice skip happily on the street without a care in the world with a bright smile that, the two mistaken it as a real smile but since Crisanto known Beatrice before Eric, he kind of caught a glimpse that the smile didn't reach her eyes. 'Just like my friend' He thought.
As they arrived at the school gate, Beatrice gestured the two to hurry up, making Eric smile in amusement, which didn't go unnoticed by Crisanto making him scowl as he parked his bike. 'I don't know why have I fallen for you even though you lied to me at first Beatrice, but something in you makes me feel attached somehow, and I wouldn't let it go even if it takes me everything.' Eric thought, but since Crisanto was still observing him, he noticed a glint in Eric's eyes while looking at Beatrice.
'I have a bad feeling about that glint that I saw.' Crisanto thought in alert. 'But this time, I'm going to protect Beatrice even if it takes my life just for her. I just want her to have a happy life.' He said in his thought and he didn't noticed that they were in front of their room.
"Oh. Seems like we're classmates after all Crisanto, I hope we get along." Eric stated as he went in the room followed by Beatrice. "Yeah right." I said in sarcasm, and also walked in the room.
Though, he regretted it since girls are swooning over Eric, which he kind of cringed, he looked for a seat to say since the girls was surrounding him and their bags are already at some of the chairs.
As I continue looking, I found Beatrice who was looking at the opened window beside her chair, she looked so peaceful, so I went to her since the sit next to her is not occupied.
"Can I seat here. Beatrice?" Crisanto asked making Beatrice snap out of her stupor and look at him with a smile. "Of course." She replied as she went back to looking at the window.
The room was still so noisy since of Eric's new found fan girls are praising him like a saint.
'Getting along indeed...' Crisanto thought with a deadpan expression.
