Mogeko:The Gray Garden (FANFICTION AND IN SCHOOL FORM) DISCONTINUED

Chapter eight

Grora's pov
'Don't ever talk to Kcalb again.' I recaptured my previous response while looking away, not wanting to see the girl.

I was so naive. I thought that it would've been alright if I listened to the secretary. I pretend that I didn't know Kcalb wasn't an angel, because I trusted Wodahs and though that his older brother wouldn't be any harm to this world. I wasn't like any other angels who thought that Kcalb was cosplaying. I wasn't that stupid. No wait, I am stupid for believing in the angel.

Kcalb is far worst than an ordinary demon. No, he isn't a demon.

"Grora what's going on?! Are you sure you aren't high or something? You seem very pale!" The girl said with a concerned look.

"Ivlis." I suddenly mumble out the name.

The very same devil who came to our school visited me while I was gazing outside the window of the nurse's room. Everything he told me was plain rubbish except one topic that changed my thoughts about Kcalb.

"What about lvlis?! Did he do anything to you Grora?"

I want to tell Etihw everything that happened but it'll change her completely. The sparkles in her eyes when she approached Kcalb. The radiant smile she gave while talking to Kcalb. The reason for her happiness was all because of Kcalb. I didn't want to see it get crush by my very words. Telling her to avoid Kcalb was enough already.

"Just don't even get yourself involve with him." I said while trying to get up from my spot.

The girl remain silence as I make my way to the doorway.  When I was about slide the door, I glance at Etihw, who's staring at the floor.

"Sorry Etihw." I said with a soft spoken voice as I opened the door and left the room.

It had to be done, because Kcalb isn't the shy, typical male being.

Everything made sense now and it's all thanks to the devil.

Both lvlis and Kcalb possessed the same aura.

No wonder Arbus and Ater are around Kcalb.

Since Kcalb possesses the power of a real devil.

Ciel's pov
Everyone was on stage, waiting for this moment to occur. Their eyes sparkle when they were getting ready for the play. Seeing that motivation in their faces, I didn't want to ruin the happiness that they are feeling, so I put on a mask and smile.

After a few minutes of a quick rehearsal, I brush a string of my hair to make sure that I was ready. I was interrupt by a nudge from my best friend.

"Even if you're the step mother, I know you'll do great." Rigatona said with a grin.

"Yes, I will." I lied with a fake smile.

We listen as our teacher tells us to get in position. She gives us the "good luck" sign as she heads towards the rope that helps open the curtains.

'I'm going to be alright.' I thought to myself while I listen to the voices of the people that are waiting to see the play.

Our teacher begins to pull the rope as the curtains slide apart, revealing the audience and the stage lights.

'I have to do this for everyone.'

A student in my class walks up on stage with a mic in his possession.

"Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a tiny kingdom."

While the boy narrates the whole scene, my heart slowly begins to ache.

"And in this kingdom lived a beautiful young girl named Cinderella."

'I have to forget about him.'

"Cinderella had an evil stepmother,and two stepsisters named Anastasia and Drizella."

'I have to smile so no one has to worry about me.'

"Cold, cruel and jealous, they made Cinderella a servant in her own house!"

The pain begins to devour in my heart as the play goes on. It feels like an never ending destruction. Without realizing that the play was still going, everyone's eyes look at me with confusion. Waiting for me to say something as a stepmother.

I try to open my mouth to say my line, but I wasn't able to say a single word. The aching keeps on shredding my heart into pieces. I feel weak. Broken. Shattered.

My mask is disappearing.

Nothing could stop this unbearable.

Jealousy. Knowing that there's another girl with him who seems to be closer to him than me. It hurts.

That's not all though.

Understanding how our big differences separated.

It's painful.

The curtains suddenly close while I see my best friend running towards me. Her eyes fill with worry and a hill-like curve was above her chin. She wraps her arms around my waist, hugging me with comfort.

"I'm so sorry Ciel...." She apologizes, holding me tightly.

Sorry for what? I press my hand against my cheeks, realizing that the whole time while I was in pain, I was also crying.

Sherbet's pov

"Yosaflame...." I mumble, holding a list filled with supplies needed for our class.

The rumors last month about the devils intruding the school was flowing around. Almost everywhere I go, my ears would always capture the description of the green-haired demon with red glasses. It bugs me when they mention anything that relates to him for some reason, like I hold a grudge against that demon. Him of all people.

A girl with gray pigtails pass by with her head tilting down. Her whole face was covered in darkness, not showing any emotions. Her pace was quick and her footsteps aren't as loud. I glance to see her in front of me, realizing she's fast walking towards a room right ahead, that seems to be hosting a maid cafe. The trails she left behind was teardrops, lying on the ground.

'Why are cute girls crying these days?' I thought to myself, while suddenly, my eyes captures an animation of the girl falling on the ground. Her skirt lifts up to show her pink panties with strawberries. She makes a soft groan of pain while she lies on the ground and her skirt covering her panties.

"Such a cute small girl with strawberry panties." I whisper to myself with a smirk.

Yes, I know I'm being a pervert for admiring the scene of a girl's panty, but I can't help myself. It's been part of my personality and was who I am. It nice to tease a girl with these sense of humor sometimes.

"What did you say?" A low voice behind me asks, making my whole body flinch.

I turn and look up to see the secretary, with his cold eyes, glaring at me with an unpleasant frown.

"I believe your name is Wodahs? You're pretty popular when it comes to attracting the ladies."

I know I should be cowering in fear from his cold eyes, but for some reason I don't feel a wince of fear.

"I shouldn't repeat myself Sherbet."
