Diamond Eyes [Promised Neverland x F! Reader]

Control

It's quite a sunny day in the orphanage, which is a perfect day to do laundry. Ray, Emma, Norman and you took the task so that, all of you would be able to discuss your plan.

"Emma." 

Norman called out and said, "Starting today, let's play tag in teams."

"In teams?" She repeated.

Ray butted in that most of the kids would die if they escaped individually, in which you snorted at how truthful he was.

"Pfft- ahaha! Ray's right! But of course, I don't want my cute babies to die!"

Emma was offended by yours and Ray's bluntness, "Hey!"

But Ray was also quick to acknowledge the kids, saying that their movements aren't bad. Norman added, "So we'll make formations and escape in teams."

Ray continued, "These games of tag will be much closer to the real thing."

"Ohh... We're getting serious I love it!" You giggled, getting excited by their plans. 

"Oh, I also have another idea. Let's get Don and Gilda in the loop." Norman suggested and added that he'll explain everything and have them lead teams on their own. Norman's suggestion isn't actually too bad but Ray wasn't too sure and suspects them of being one of Isabella's spy.

Norman was quick to answer, "No problem." He confidently said, "Discovering the mole, and bringing those two in... Can be done simultaneously."

"Oho!"

He put his index finger over his mouth, "I've already laid a trap, too."

"Ohoho! As expected of the genius Norman!" You couldn't help but squeal at his coolness and thought, 'AHH! My Norman's too cool and smart for this world!' 

Your thoughts were cut off by the sound of Ray calling yours and Emma's name, "Emma, (Y/N). To start with, I'll list out a hundred types of formations." He ordered, "Memorize them."

"What?!" Your mood was instantly broken when you heard the word "memorize." You started whining, "No, no, no! You can't do this to me! You know I hate that, Ray!"

Ray wasn't having any of your whining and said, "You have no choice (Y/N), and even if you don't want too..." He slowly wears his signature smirk, "I'll make sure to force it in your head."

"Noooo!" You immediately hid behind Norman, with a grumpy face while glaring at Ray. Grabbing onto Norman's right sleeve, with your left hand. Your right arm points at Ray, "Norman! Ray, is being a mean bully again! Stop him!"

Norman laughed at your attempt before putting his hand on your head. He gently pets, smiling as he explains, "I'm sorry (Y/N) but Ray's right, you have to memorize it whether you like it or not. We have no choice, okay?"

Ray wore his triumph smile before putting his tongue out to mock you, which honestly makes you more annoyed.

Your cheeks were honestly about to burst after he was done explaining, not to add, your eyebrows were also knitted together. You were known for being a happy go lucky kid; for being quite ignorant when it comes to problems. However, despite being one of the children who got perfect scores in test, you greatly disliked studying. No kid in the orphanage have ever seen you read a book, not even Isabella.

This situation wasn't really new to Norman. You would normally run to him, Isabella or even Emma, when Ray would force you to study. Norman would always help you out but this time he'd no choice. He felt a little guilty but it's nothing compare to enjoying your rare grumpy face.
