One Seen

VIII. Challenge and Hope

Eve, just like evening, or I guess it is like the first woman ever had been created to be the company of Adam in the sweetest time of being a citizen of heaven. Then here I am, tricking Aiz to the play of my hand. Yesterday, I got him trapped into this plan that I have made. How can he be dumb enough to fall into my play? I questioned myself as I walk myself home after I am finished with the first phase of my plan.

This one fact actually ring on my ear, is it just Aiz do not care about anyone, or did he just saying that he know none of me. I mean, we go to the same school since we were in the elementary, and now we are in high school. It is quite a long time just to not acknowledge – or even being an acquaintance with that one specific person, which that is me. But, if it turns out to be as disastrous like this, did he know the sole existence of Mist? Mist, as she is the first enemy I ever made on high school year. Right just after I was enrolled in this high school.

As much as I have learned from the first year, and that means I studied myself about Aiz until now. He seems to have this particular sight on Mist, that woman I hate so much. She act cool herself, and ignoring this pitiful Aiz. That is one of the many reason which lately become my main reason as well as what happens in the first year that was long ago. I hate to admit it, but why does Aiz fell for her so much, much more than me?

I mean, I myself am a woman with quite a good face. I believe that I am a good woman, charming, and not just that. People say that I am the prettiest ever been, and I am good at almost everything. That means, including the fact that I won the national competition of many musical instrumental like piano and violin. Then I also am good at sport, I win many of the cups long ago. That is just to attract Aiz, just him. I even going to use all my riches just to be with him, everything I can do, I will sacrifice it.

But, then reality is harsh. It would not comply with us; he will not look at me, as I hope that was in the past. Because of what I just done might change something in the course of his mind. I mean, I am not as just a typical woman like Mist anyway. She do not deserve many friends that she has until now. How can a woman like that, I mean even though I have many fans that treating me well all this time until now, I have none called true friends. Not like Aiz, although he might not remember me.

But even all of that fact, that he might not remember me (or might be everyone as well), I remember him. The guy who helps me out of those bullies back when we were in the elementary years. When nobody cares for someone like me, he stand up against the bullies to protect me. That might be his boyish desire to pull up a fight against each other, but for me, that is a total unforgettable moment. People might think differently, but that is all fine with me. Now, we are growing to be such a needy teenager, whom are gloom and darkening ourselves into the non enlightened area where the shadow covers us, I try to escape from that, but I saw him, just like I saw in his eyes this evening, he do not try to escape from such a dark future that lies on him. This might be my chance to help him, yes I believe that it is.

Then I heard a step of someone from behind, and as I look to my back, there is one shadowy figure standing about three or four meters from where I stood up. That is, his sister over there, breathing quite fast as she adjust her pace. Then she asked me why am I going away, as I have said that I will stay at her house – or precisely their house. Then I told her that I stay just several blocks from her house, and she made that confused face, while processing the thought that whether if I actually say the truth.

 "It is the truth, feel free to believe me, or not to be. See you later then" as I said that, I walked myself away for the moment while fading away from her vision. On her face, there are some confusion all over it.

Back to the Aiz's bedroom, he lean himself over the wall while sitting down on his bed. He look out to the window, where he saw a figure of woman walks away from his house.
