delcroix heirs' academy ✔ chapter seventy

third person.

Nang matapos ang bonfire ay wala naman gaanong nangyari bukod sa hindi imikan ng magkakaibigang Axelle and Theia. Nakakahalata na sina Lili, Maree and Gabrielle, but they decided not to talk about it.

Madilim na, at malapit nang mamatay ang apoy, pero mayroon paring mga natitirang students sa labas but most of them are already in their tents.

The only ones left outside were Vance, Leo, Romaine, Ymir, Shin, Chen, Ethan, and Akira. The first six are doing their duties, while the other two ay wala lang talagang magawa and they didn't wanna go back to their tents yet.

Vance and Leo were wandering in the woods, not too far from the bonfire. Si Leo, may hawak na flashlight habang iniilaw ito kung saan saan while Vance was just walking around na walang emosyon.

Si Ymir at Romaine naman are nasa gates, binabantayan kung merong nagbabalak na masama sa camp nila. Romaine is over thinking about the Acquaintance Ball, at si Ymir naman is nag-iisip about the activities for tomorrow.

Shin, meanwhile, is on top of a tree while watching the grounds, at si Chen ay nagbabantay sa may mga tents.

"Si Carrose yun, di ba?" Tanong ni Ymir, causing Romaine to pick her head up from leaning on the gates at tignan kung nasaan ang itinuturo niya.

"Oo." Sabi ni Romaine, nang makita ang lalaking papalapit kay Akira.

"Ooh. Something's wrong. Bat niya lalapitan si Zin?" Tanong ni Ymir, causing Romaine to raise her brows at the sight in front of them.

Nilapitan ni Ethan si Akira slowly, habang ang babae ay nananahimik na pinagmamasdan ang starry night sky. She had no idea what was going on while trying to recognize the constellations up in the sky.

Ethan, on the other hand, found the girl interesting nung panahong iyon at gusto niyang kausapin. He thought she looked cute, at hindi na inisip pa ang mga nakatingin at nilapitan ang babae.

"Hey, Akira," said Ethan, when he reached Akira.

"Oh. Hey." Said Akira, at nagtaka bakit siya kinakausap ni Ethan. "Why?"

"Nothing. The view is amazing, right?" Asked Ethan, while just looking at Akira.

"Yeah. I've always loved the stars—"

"You're prettier, though," said Ethan, causing Akira to turn his way sharply.

"What the fuck, Carrose?! Wag mo nga akong ginaganyan! Dun ka kay Axelle, sa totoong mahal mo. Wag mo akong dinadamay—"

Bigla namang nahiwalay si Ethan kay Akira, nang hablutin ni Vance na malapit lang sa kanila ang kwelyo ni Ethan at itulak ito sa may puno.

"Vance, wag na—"

"Don't talk, Akira. Pumasok ka na sa tent mo. Tsk." Sabi ni Vance, at kinakabahang tumango ang babae.

Si Leo naman, mabilisang nagpunta sa dalawa niyang kaibigan at pinaghiwalay ito.

"Anong nangyayari sa inyo?!" Nagagalit na tanong ni Leo, at tinignan naman siya ng malamig ni Vance at walang pakiramdam siyang tinignan ni Ethan.
