Kent's Point of View

I don't know why my blood started rising, but I felt angry.



I marched towards them while they ate at the tables Arson pointed at.



Arson followed me while I focused on the two.



Eliza was wearing a sweater and some ripped jeans while Fred had headphones and a new hoodie.


I kept silent while stomping my way towards them. Fred turned around and his eyes widened.



He suddenly stood up and triggered Eliza who was now looking at me as well.


They both stood up and ran to me. Then I did something so unexpected that shocked the three, including Arson.


I raised both of my hands in a stop gesture. Then I raised my middle finger to both of them.



Don't ask me why. I felt irritated. They left me in Customs! what would you expect from me?


Eliza raised an eyebrow at me while Fred was trying to stay serious.



See, that's the problem about Fred. He never takes anything serious. Everything seems funny to him.



Eliza tried to swat my hand but when she tried, I caught her wrist and pulled her to me.


I'm pretty sure my face was inches away from hers. But I didn't feel awkward. I felt mad.



She started to blush. She smelled like roses and perfumed teddy bears. Weird scent but I disregarded it.


"H-hey what a-are you doing?" She exclaimed.



"Jeez Eliza, shouldn't I be asking you that?" I answered, "what did YOU do when I was in the damn evaluation?"



She was tomato red now. She struggled but I gripped her hand and pulled her closer.



I came close to her and whispered in her ear, "Pathetic."


I shoved her, not too hard, she went back and shook her head after regaining her balance.


I turned to Fred, "Do the explaining. Make sure it's reasonable. You know me when I'm mad." I said coldly.



He sighed, "Ok. It was yesterday when we waited for you at the room. It was at least an hour before we decided to go have lunch. So we went out and ate for a couple of minutes. We quickly returned but when we got back, there was already another name inside the room. We went out and tried to find if you were still near but looks like you've gone far. So we searched for you yesterday until today. This little man," he pointed to Arson, " asked us who Fred and Eliza is, so we figured that he was your friend. Our hunch was right and now we meet up."


Reasonable? Didn't find it reasonable till I realized that I did go far. No, I went deep. WAYYYY DEEP.



So I apologized quickly and told them about my adventure at Bezargitron and how I met Arson.


"I'm not a little man, I'm already 15." He protested.


They shook hands and then I told them about how I got myself in the underground market.



"Wait so you fell from a visible man hole?" Fred asked. He was laughing hard while Eliza giggled as well.


I shot a look at Eliza, "Want a piece of me again, Tomato Face?"
