Chapter Seven

The two girls are now both confused and asking the question "How did she know him?" in their heads.

"You know each other if I'm not mistaken?" Austin correct and the two girls nodded.

Austin introduced the two. Minerva, his roommate and friend and Athena, his tutor and friend.

"Is that why you cannot come with me?" Minerva turned to Athena.

Athena nodded and Minerva understand what's Athena doing.

She do know that Austin is not superb in the Academics. She always help Austin in their dorm doing some assignments.

"I should go now." Minerva informed her two friends that she will be going but she suddenly stop.

"Austin.." She called Austin in a serious tone.

"Don't stress Athena. Ok?" Minerva joked then run immediately.

Athena and Austin just laughed on what Minerva remind and they start to go to Austin and Minerva's dorm.

_____________

"Is that it?" Austin cannot believe that the lesson in Mathematics is more easier to understand when Athena's teaching than in the class.

Athena nodded and she continue teaching Austin. She's having fun teaching Austin.

"Next topic is the Midpoint. I'm sure you know the formula for that?"

Athena asked Austin the formula in finding the midpoint and Austin nodded and recite the formula confidently.

"How about we try to solve this assignment?" Athena give the question in their assignment to Austin.

Austin gladly accept the task then answer the assignment. Once he's finish he must checked it first to Athena.

Austin finished answering the two question and gave his answers to Athena to check it.

"See, you can do this." Athena congratulate Austin on how he's a fast learner.

"Thanks to you and also to Minerva" Austin smile and they fix their workplace.

As they fix their things, the door open revealing a girl holding a pile of paper bags.

"A little help here" Minerva asked for help as she enter the dorm.

Austin immediately stand and went to Minerva to help her carry the pile of paper bags while Athena closed the doors.

They talked and after that Athena inform and farewell her friends that she's going to her dorm.

Minerva and Austin thanked Athena and farewell to herself also.

Athena just walk straight ahead since her dorm is in this floor and it isn't far to their room.

Athena open the door as she saw her dorm number. She saw Ares sitting in the couch reading the unknown book.

"You're still awake?" Athena asked after she closed the doors.

Ares look to Athena and nodded. Athena gave him a question look.

Why?

"Don't ask why. Oh! Are you done deciding?" Ares put the book down and look to Athena.

Impatient huh?

"Why don't you wait? Deciding needs time." Athena answer and head to her room.

But before she enter her room, she leave a question to Ares.

"Why are you so eager in this?"

Ares didn't answer and Athena observe it and giggle.

"See? Not all question can answer immediately. For an intelligent student and a leader of PSS Boys, you should know that"

Athena now enter the room and went to her study table. She open the textbook in Mathematics and advance read it.

"Really? Ares said that?" Athena's group asked when Athena told them about Ares's deal. They are in their club room when they have a free time.

Athena nodded. "So, what's your insight about this?"

"For me, I think we should" One from the Sophomore answer.

Athena nod and asked again "Anything else?"

"I think Shaira's right. We should, maybe it's a great opportunity for us to win some war battle"

Minerva agrees in Shaira's suggestion and some members agreed also.

"How about you Jessa? You're once a leader, How do you decide this?" Athena look to Jessa who's quiet since then.

"H-huh? Me?" Jessa snapped her thought and Athena nodded.

"Well, I think there's a history on why the PSS is divided"

"Really? There's a history for that?" Minerva asked.

"Yes, the graduated leader of PSS Girls once told me when I become the leader and I think I should tell you this."

But before Jessa was about to tell it, the bell rang. All of them got up and fix their things.

"I think I should tell you this later" Jessa tapped Athena's shoulder before she head to her room.

"Huh? That's strange" Minerva said as she look to her watch

"What's strange?"

"The bell always ring one minute before the actual classes time. But today in rang 3 minutes before the time. Don't you think it's strange?" Minerva asked Athena when they reach their room.

"Maybe the principal or the head must somehow change it, I guess?" Athena thought and look around.

They saw no one inside. The two of them are getting confused right now and suddenly the bell rings again.

Minerva looked into her watch "Huh? This time it rings exactly one minute before the time!" She let Athena see her watch.

After the bell rang, all students came to their classroom and sat in their respected seats. Athena told Minerva to sit in her chair and let her find out this.

Athena sits at the back and asked Ares something.

"Where are you before the bell rings? Maybe three minutes before the time?"

Ares look to Athena. "Three minutes? In the club's room. Why?"

"Didn't the bell in your room rang three minutes before the time?" Again Athena asked but Ares shakes his head and proceed reading again.

That's weird.

"Irene!" Athena call Irene who's seating not far away from her.

Irene looked back and asked Athena why she calls her.

"Where are you before the bell rings? Maybe three minutes before the time?" Athena asked the same question.

"I'm at the Science club room. We're having a meeting for the upcoming event. Why?" Irene answer Athena's question

"Didn't the bell inside your room rings three minutes before the time?"

"No, It always rings one minute before the time. Why is there sometime wrong?"

Athena shakes her head. "No, I'm just having a survey" Athena lied.

I think someone's eavesdropping us in the club room and I gotta know whose responsible for this.
