"Thank you" said Eryx while catching his breath.
We were now alone inside an abandoned classroom at the very top of the school building. I don't think there will be classes at this point. Looking at several people hovering around the school, very sure they wouldn't leave until they'd asked Eryx everything they'd like to know.
"You're quite famous. Aren't you now?"
"Yea, right. I didn't plead for this unwanted attention"
"I would"
"Sucks to be you then"
From here, we could hear people babbling about and the police force trying to prevent the burden at school.
"It must be a lot for you"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Finding out that one of your moms is a secret worker involved around criminals?"
"Oh, that. I already know it. I've also been curious when she would trust me enough to spill it."
"I see. Wow. You're good with people's secrets"
"Mhm" he nodded. I really do want to tell my side of the secret too.
"Please, you won't be able to guess mine."
"What if I told you I've already figured it out?"
Huh? What did he mean by that? There's no way he knows.
"Don't play dumb. I've already guessed that you're one of the two societies but the opposite of my mother's."
"No. Fking. Way."
"Yes"
I was shocked to hear this. Why not? This was an impossible guess and it is important to be in secrecy.
"Anyways, sorry if that made your brain and heart stop moving"
"You did, for real."
"You're such a bad agent"
WHAT DID HE JUST SAY??
"Considering you must know I wasn't sure about this and yet, you agreed."
"You should be me instead" I can almost cry at that moment.
"You know, it's not that awful to hang out with you"
"Oh?"
"I know we started off- well, mostly you, with a bad start, but, it's greatly enjoyable to actually talk with you"
I froze. This time, not because of fright, but because of joy.
"I think so too"
After that, we stayed in there a little longer until the publicity at school quieted down. Eryx told Felix his whereabouts and came.
"You guys! I've been looking! Teachers told us there won't be classes for some days due to.... ah... this."
"YES!" I nearly jumped up and down from hearing this. I can't RES- Oh hell nah, I can't jinx it. TvT
The fact that Eryx knew my secret, I wanted to tell the mission I was told to carry out. Maybe he could help me. But too late; Felix and him already left. How CRUEL!

He texted me that afternoon, um, 'cuz of messaged him first. His text read:
I'll come to your place. My mother's in a mood. Plus, I've never been to your house before.
This is bad. My parents wouldn't allow me. Therefore, I invited him to a restaurant and booked a private room with my payment. I told him about the plans; this is really crossing the line as he could tell his mom who's not on the same side but either way, I'd appreciate no further damage being caused.
While we were discussing, he whispered something to himself. I think he said "Wish you knew my secret too". I'm a great listener if you didn't know. Even when someone's talking to themselves so that the other would not hear. I wanted to know what he was hiding, however, everyone has their own business to keep to themselves. I shouldn't get involved in it if he don't want me to. Hanging out with me is unusual for him so let alone his secret.
