Matches

Part Five:

"And she had no idea it was me!" Hilda giggled after explaining how she released spiders in Edelgard's room. Em giggled with her, even though she didn't approve, she didn't want to spoil the fun for her. 

"I'm still confused as to where you got all of those spiders," Em responded. Hilda continued talking but Em was lost in her own thoughts when someone caught her eyes. 

Felix walked past her and Hilda in the dinning hall. He was cold as usual. Not even giving her a second glance after their eyes met. She fought herself to get up and follow him but she knew she couldn't handle him digging into her life every match they had. She didn't feel like the person she builds herself up to be. 

"So after getting about 50 of them, which took forever might I add, I put them-" Hilda explained before Em interrupted.

"I'm sorry hun, I don't feel well so I should probably head back to my dorm," she lied and then went off to wander around the Monastery to clear her thoughts. 

That, and she figured out that she was being followed. She walked around aimlessly for a bit to be sure but then headed for her dorm to get some peace.  However it was now clear someone was on her toes so once she reached her door she whipped around. 

"What is your game?" she demanded just to be lost for words.

"What's yours? You've been walking around doing absolutely nothing when we could've been training. So what's your game?" Felix snapped. She stared at him and stayed quiet which bothered him so much. "My god, will you answer me?" he begged. He was no longer this cold statue that no one could touch.

"You ask too many questions," she responded. He stared into her eyes trying to figure him out. 

"Is it horrible to try to get to know you?" he wondered. She pondered that for a moment before letting go of her stress.

"I'll see you tomorrow," she decided while giving him a slight smile while he grinned as well before she turned to go into her room.
