                After a long day of cleaning and hearing Grim complain every so often it was finally the end of the day, and Grim and I finally reached the cafeteria waiting for a certain Ace of Hearts. I decided to sit down at the seat near the door as Grim was washing his share of windows because I forced him to.

"I'm really beat from cleaning all day... It's not fair that you get to watch me wash windows..."

"I'd say sorry but you did this to yourself, once you've finished fifty windows you'll be able to stop, I'd say you're getting a head start from that jerk"

"Speaking of Ace, that jerk is taking his time! Who does he think he is?! I'm still pissed"

"If he doesn't make an appearance soon we can go after him, what window are you on Grim?"

Grim's ears drooped as he mumbled a '25'

"Well you're almost done Grim that's good"

         The time passes by and Grim finished his fifty and sat down on my lap as the urge to hunt down a certain red-head grew in the back of my mind... I heard Grim grumble.

"I don't care what happened, this is too late!!!" Grim hopped up to my shoulder 

"I think he ditched us, let's go find him" I get up

            I go down the hallways to the classroom he's supposedly left. And started to look around with Grim.

"Where's Ace! We're not gonna let you hide away!... Ah there's no one here!"

"No. I am here" This made both of us lift up our heads and look at the painting that spoke.

Grim screamed right into my and hide behind my back holding onto my shoulder with his front paws "The picture talked!!" On the other hand I was slightly amazed, I mean I've only seen talking paintings in movies like Harry Potter. 

"What now? It's not uncommon for paintings to talk at this school." The Man in the painting says slightly offended "The Wall Lady over there, the Wall Gentleman over here, everyone can speak. Portraits can speak because they have a mouth. That's normal, you know?"

Grim comes back to my shoulder and bow slightly.

"Our Apologies, This Monster isn't well cultured at the current moment and I was also not aware since your normal is different to mine, could you please help us find a student sir?"

"Thank you for your apology young lady, it's a rare sight to see a well mannered girl at this school....who are you both looking for?"

I smiled slightly as Grim piped up.

"A guy named Ace. He's got a heart mark on his face and hair that sticks up." Grim says while gesturing where the heart is and what his hair shape was, The man hums and mumbles to himself a bit.

"Aaah, I know him. He's one of the freshmen that started today. He went back to his dorm not too long ago." This comment made Grim fume with anger, and made me click my tongue and sigh.

"Waaahaaat! So he did try to get away! Which way did he go?"

"The entrance is behind the east building"

"Hey! We're going after him!" And with that Grim jumps down and runs out.

I look to the painting and bow quickly "thank you for your help sir"

I run after Grim as we dart down the hallways toward the East building. We bumped into a few students along the way, Along with Kalim.

"Sorry, oh Kalim"
