-Watson.

"What a pain" What does he have to say this time. I twist the knob and opened the door. I saw Hunter sitting and writing by her desk. She looked at me when i shut the door close.

"Oh hey!" She gtreets. I walked across the room casually and layed down on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I think this event may be complicated for me. I don't know why. In my case I could practically kill about anyone right now. I already have an easy target. I've been raised and trained to kill. To assasinate. So what's keeping me? I feel like... No. I really couldn't bring myself to kill anyone. I've already tried once and i just suddenly froze. Only millimeters away to slice his neck open. I let out a deep sigh. "What now?" I whispered to myself.

"What do you mean?" I flinched when she suddenly spoke next to me.

  "I-uh.... Nothing"

  "Hmmm." She stares at me for a while.

  "What?" I said. Irritated.

  "Tada! For you." She pulled out a pink bracelet.

  "No thanks." I said and sat up.

  "Huhh? Why? It's cute." She pouts. "Not your color?" She looks down on it.

  "I don't wear unnecessary things on me."

  "What? This thing is not an 'unnecessary thing'. This is a 'friendship bracelet'. You have one..." She takes my hand and put the bracelet in. "... And I have one." She raise her left hand to show the one she's wearing.

  "Whatever." I said coldly. I rose up and headed to the door.

  "Where are you going?" She asked.

  "Elsewhere." I opened the door and left. I shut the door behind me. The halls are empty. I looked at the bracelet one more time. Friend? "A friend is one attached to another by affection or esteem. Acquaintance. A person who you enjoyed being with." I murmured to myself. "This is stupid." I put the bracelet into my pocket and walked down to the hallway. Then her smile suddenly pops into my mind. I stopped for a moment and shook my head. What's wrong with me? This isn't like you Six. You're about to kill her soon. No need for useless stuffs like this.

I headed to the gym lockers to change into this P.E clothes. I do some stretching first before running to the field. After stretching, I positioned myself and started running. As I turn, I see few students gazing at me. I ignore them and kept running another round. Push-ups, crunches, sit ups, I'm mostly doing all of the basics.

I layed down on my back and gazed out to the twilight sky. A breeze came and I can feel the grass brushing to my skin. I just layed down here for a while doing nothing but spacing out. I got up and decided to head out. I grabbed a towel in my locker. Then I went to the sink and wet just my head. I turned on the faucet and placed my head under. Letting the water run from the back of my head to my face.

I took the towel to wipe my face. I walk as I keep drying my hair with the towel, I came to face a mirror. I looked at it. Us. Players. Them. Targets. A game. To kill. The Reward. A friend. Myself...

"Some amusement huh?" I made up my mind. I don't care what they will be thinking about me. I put away the towel and headed back to my room. And waited for the time to be midnight.
