"Goodbye class. See you all again tomorrow." I waited for all of them to leave so that I can have the room for myself but that didn't happen.
"Can I stay for a while Mr. Summer?" It's Alexander, one of my new students.
"Yeah sure." I answered.
I'm currently reviewing their files but I can't concentrate well. Maybe because one of them is here with me now and it seems like he's looking at me. Well, I can't tell since I'm busy scanning their files.
"You can ask me anything Mr. Summer." I was surprised when he suddenly appeared right in front of my table with a wide smile on his face. Though I was surprised, I tried to composed myself and faced him.
"What do you mean Alexander?" I asked as I closed the folder.
"Well, I know you're looking up at our files and I can't help but think that you might have questions in your mind right now. Am I right?" How on earth did he know that I was scanning their files? And why does he keep on smiling creepily?
"I haven't scanned your files that much and I think there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, am I right?" I asked as I closed the folders.
"In a way you're right but with all your due respect Mr. Summer, I hate it when someone scans information about me." His tone suddenly changed and the smile on his face vanished.
"If you hate it then--" I paused for a while, rested my chin on my hands and looked at him. "Everything that's written inside this folder are all just mainstream informations. Now, do you mind answering my questions personally?"
He pulled a chair, placed it on the opposite side of my desk and sat on it afterwards. And again, he looked at me with a wide creepy smile on his face.
"Let's start then."
"Alright. How will you describe your group?" I'm referring to the five of 'em. "Individually and as a whole." I added.
"Individually and as a whole." He repeated. "Hmm, okay. Too easy, so let's start with Red Blizz. She looks like an innocent girl but she's a very skilled martial artist. I've never seen her lost a fight no matter how big her enemies were. You're safe as long as you don't mess up with her but it seems impossible for most of the guys 'cause they just can't stand her goddess beauty." He paused and chuckled afterwards. "She has a dark past but I don't know what happened, all I know was that it's not good." Maybe he's talking about her mother or family.
"Alright, next is Halo." I said.
"Oh, Halo Lavine." A smile formed on his face but it was immediately replaced with an angry expression. "I hate that guy." He started. "He's always with Red every fucking time. I mean, nothing's wrong with that since they're cousins but still I hate it--
"You like Red, don't you?"
"The fuck? Well, uhm I don't know-- I mean, she's not my type but there's something about her that attracts me."
"I see. So you're jealous because Halo and Red's always together, right?" His face suddenly blush.
"Going back, I don't know that much about Halo. All I know is that he always strive to protect Red, that's it."
"How 'bout his attitude? How does he behave?" I asked as I rest my arms on the desk.
"He's like a mirror. He'll reflect everything people show him. As long as you don't mess up or do anything bad, then you're safe just like with Red."
"Okay, next is Ice Murray and Luke Clifford."
"Ice and Luke. These two are mysterious."
"Mysterious? Why?" I asked with a confused look.
"All I know is that both of 'em have dark pasts. That's it, not a lot of things are known when it comes to these two." He answered.
"Now, let's get this over with and tell me about yourself."
"Myself? Hmm, well I'm the type of guy who always smile." Obviously. "The one who doesn't care about anyone, anything, everyone and everything. I live alone, my parents died in a tragedy and no relatives of mine wants to take care of me. That's why in such a young age, I've learned to be independent. I never ask help from anyone and I've never helped anyone in my entire life."
"Isn't this helping?" I interrupted, his right brow raised. "I mean, you're answering my questions. Don't you consider this as helping?"
"Hahaha don't assume Mr. Summer, I'm not helping you or what. I'm answering all your questions just because I wanna kill time. If there's someone I'm helping, it's myself. Okay?"
"If you say so. You may now continue."
"So, where was I? Hmm, right! I only love myself and I live only for myself. Lastly, we're all predictable. That's all thank you!" He then started clapping like hell. "Oops, my bad." He said as he stood up and walked towards the door afterwards. "By the way Mr. Summer, there's nothing wrong being curious about something. Just make sure that you don't lower your guard."
