Karma

For the Mission

Why is this dude so disappointed to know I'm straight?
Could it be—wait no, is it possible that he...is not?

ARGH.
I'm internally screaming my lungs out.
You know those poop faces you make when you're taking a shit?
Yeah, I probably look like that right now with my strong urge to hold in my screaming.

So if I'm right, I think that I'll have to pretend to be of a different sexual orientation and then get close to Eliot in order to protect him.
Cause I'm getting nowhere with my situation like this.

I laughed nervously.
"No...I was kidding. Yeah, I'm not straight. I'm actually very far from straight. I actually like..."

I took a breath in.
THE THINGS I DO FOR THIS COUNTRY.

"I actually like g-guys.." I said muttering.
Oh geez...what am I doing?
This better be worth it.

"Wow...really?" Eliot whispered shyly, his face turning red again.
And take note, we're in a dim closet right now.
Imagine the shade of red he is radiating off.

I nodded my head and peered out the door.
I can't stand another second in here. It's getting stuffy, and I feel like something extremely weird would happen.

Eliot and I stepped out of the closet when there was no one around, and I dusted off things that might've been on my clothes.
I fell down, remember?

When I got out, Eliot looked at the ground like it was some fascinating artifact.
"Well I'll be going then." I said quickly, waving from behind.
I started walking away when I heard Eliot's voice.
"I'll see you again my prince!"

I shuddered.

Before anyone thinks that I'm being rude here, I am not into guys.
Not at all.
NOT WHEN I'M A GUY MYSELF.

I mean I'm fine with people having guy and guy relationships but I would not like to be a part of that.
And yet this damn mission...this damn mission...is gonna ruin my chance of ever having a normal life.

As I walked away...I realized.
Shit. I'm still in school.

And surprisingly, the day went by pretty swiftly.
I got a lot of stares and post-it-notes thrown on my desk though, but I would rather that over Eliot anytime.

When it was midnight, the guys and I just did regular hand to hand combat.
As always, I crushed them all.

But I could barely recall anything because I was so tired today.
I did too much running in school, and I had too many thoughts on my mind.

We started heading towards Lilliana's place and I felt my stomach grumbling.
Time for a snack...at 3 am in the morning and I'll just do double times the ab workout tomorrow morning.

"Hey what's there to eat right now?" I asked.
The male assistant, Fred, threw me some packets of Ramen noodles.
I stared at the packs intensely as I teared it opened.

"Er...I don't know how to do this..." I suddenly said, realizing, I've never cooked noodles before.

Lilliana sighed and snatched the bag from me, doing something with a pot and water.
I don't know but oh well.

"Hey how come your parents aren't here?" I asked.
It took her a while to realize that I was actually talking to her and not someone else.
"Them? They're on business trips for a few months. For the time being, I'll have to stay with my two assistants." She said, focused on making the ramen.

Ah.
Then she also must've not seen them on Mother's Day. I wonder what she did then.

Ena sat next to me at a circle table, yawning.
It made me yawn too. James and Gary weren't here. Probably sleeping. Most of our academy students are sleeping. Only about 5 of us were awake at this time.

Ena, Lilliana, me, and two girls that were talking to each other.
The morphing girl and the flexible girl.

"You not going to sleep yet?" I asked Ena.
She yawned again but shook her head.
"I could ask you the same."

"I'm hungry." I said.

Ena didn't reply with a smart comment but instead kept laying on the table and getting up.
"Go to sleep." I told her.

She shook her head, pouting.
Oh man, this girl is actually kind of cute when she's not talking.
But when she opens her mouth, she's the devil reincarnation.

Ena finally feel asleep on the table when Lilliana brought me the ramen.
"Thanks Lil."

Lilliana nodded her head as she carried Ena princess style back to her sleeping place.

I slurped the noodles up satisfyingly.
"This is good." I muttered, lifting the bowl up and slurping some more.

Lilliana smiled as she went into bed first.
It was just me alone, and two other girls that were preparing to sleep as well.
So literally, just me now.

When I had finished, I laid down onto this cushiony mattress and scrolled through a Facebook account that I made under a fake name.

Just to keep in touch with recent news you know?
The fake name was :
Jared Barner

It works. I only use it to check the news ok?
This way, no one would add me and try to become my friend.
Wow that just sounded depressing.

Anyways, I kept scrolling to see random and boring posts on my feed.

"Learn how to make a delicious rainbow pie!"

"10 facts to know in order to lose weight..."

"Brilliant author draws disney characters as real people!"

"5 foods not to eat at breakfast..."

"2 people severely injured from plane crash in Colorado."

I yawned.
No more words.
I'm about to knock out.

I hopped up and turned off the lights.
When I got back into my bed, I don't even remember when I slept because everything was so dark.
