THE REED

Prolog

\"I\'m sick of all the insincere, I\'m gonna give all my secrets away\"

                                                                   Secrets - One Republic

Rain started pouring down from the rooftop, making droplets of water dripped down to the ground. It’s always cloudy in St. V Academy or raining. It gets kind of boring when all you can do is waiting for the class to end. But not for the teacher, like Mr. Alec here.

   “One of the secrets to identify the person you talking are lying to you is by his or her eyes.”

 Mr. Alec patted Mason head that was currently sleeping in the class and the class fell into giggling when Mason jerked his head up, “No I didn’t do it!”

  “What you didn’t do Mason?” Alec crossed his arms in front his chest, raising an eyebrow at the poor boy.

Mason averted his gaze from Mr. Alec eyes, “I-… didn’t sleep at your class.” The class erupted into laugh again when Mason blushed.

Alec patted his head, mouthing ‘Detention’ to Mason and turned to walk back to the front of the class, shaking his head, “Lesson number two, stuttering. Number three the person can’t stay still while talking with you…-” Alec glanced at a girl with long curly black hair in the back of the class, who’s currently giggling at him and he smiled softly.

   “Please Danny? Just this one time?” the girl with hazel eyes and brown hair tilted her head as she wrapped her arms around the little boy neck.

  “B-ut…-“ Daniel got a weird feeling in his stomach when she leaning closer to him and he tried hard not to let her see what she want from him as his big blue eyes stared at her eyes before he looked down.

  “-…fine.” Daniel let her kiss his cheek, making him blush and she took his picture with her handphone camera.

  “Aww! I love you my little cute boy.” The girl giggled and ruffled his brown hair. She gave him a blow kiss and walked out the school.

The little boy knew he’ll get punish if either Alec or his dad knew he gave his picture to anyone. He need to stay away from home tonight and find a way to delete that picture, or he can do it now.

 Daniel decided to follow her outside.

  “Yo Gerard! How much you got?” the guys were surrounding a tall dark brown hair guy with a wicked smirk on his face that was leaning against his shiny black Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible. A long of shitty name. But it was worth it as he notice they were staring at him in jealousy.

  “A Benjamin?” Jason guessed but Gerard scoffed.

  “Nope 1000. This time I got jackpot guys.” Gerard bragged. He like this kind of attention and saw the guys gaped at him, amazed..

He knew they won’t doubt him because he invited them to the horserace and they see it with their own eyes and even betting for the horses. They just not as lucky as he is, or should he say they don’t have that kind of ability.

  “Man, this means party tonight!” Aaron beamed and high-fived Gerard.

  “8 PM Devil Tavern Club.” He nodded, he can’t help it. If the guys want party, there will be a hell of a party. He doesn’t want to disappoint them and he needs this kind of distraction after a long time sulking in his job. And thinking about sulking he saw the red hair with amazing emerald eyes at the class today.
