Chapter 9: Appearance

Armour's POV

"Then let's go." Nagsimula na akong magalakad pero ni hindi ko siya naramdaman na naglakad kaya muli akong lumingon sa kaninang pwesto namin.

"Your match happens in eve. Not in daylight."

"It will happen this four sharp in noon." I answered. Hindi ko mabasa ang reaksyon niya but deep down I believe that she's trying to read me if I'm not kidding around.

"I have appointments after that schedule. You know how businessman works Ms. Fuschia."

"I'm not asking Mr. Carter."

"Fine. Then we'll go after lunch since classes are boring." Tumango lang siya sa sinabi ko at naglakad na paalis. Papunta na lang sana ako sa sarili kong silid sa dormitoryo nang marinig ko ang mga boses ng kalalakihan sa likod ko.

"Pre! We better move faster bago pa dumating ang late na Prof!" Drake exclaimed habang naglalakad ng mabilis. I looked at Claude at dirediretso lang siyang naglalakad. He looked so pissed about his gadget that much.

"You're interested with that heroic nerd?" And here is Rex. Mas gusto ko pang kasing ingay siya ni Drake o kaya kasing init ng ulo ngayon ni Claude. But here he is, the usual serious guy with wisdom.

"You're interested with a punch?" He just shrugged and made distance from me. Pumunta lang kami sa aming dormitoryo at hindi na rin muna ako lumabas pa. I'm sinking everything in my head firsts. She knows what 'm talking about. I didn't invited her to watch any kind of game of sports later. She knew I'm referring to a fight. Kung isa man siya sa mga manunuod noon pa man sa Underground then maaaring kilala niya talaga ako at ang aking grupo. But what makes me think more is her own character. She's not even afraid. She's not the typical nerd in schools. Even though I want to believe on anything, her physical looks contradicts everything. Her glasses completes her nerd profile. Her attire fits her innocence. Her face seems to be one of those girl who suffered a lot and been scared on everything that might hurt her. But thinking what have she done to Levi is noticeable. She's just a mere transfer student while Levi is a part of another school who was also part of dirty society. But still she managed to win.

If Rex would be just satisfied that he got my plans correct this time. Well, I guess I'm really seriously interested in that heroic nerd.

Empress Fuschia's POV

"Where are we going?" I spent my hours watching the ceiling in my room. At hindi ko aakalain na makakailang oras ako sa posisyon kong iyon. I'm busy processing my steps in my plans mentally not until some girl knocked on my door and told me that this Armour Carter was waiting outside the building of girls'dormitory.
