"Vincent, I'm asking. Why did you go alone?" William asked once again. "Didn't I told you I'll come with you?" Before Vincent could even utter a word, he threw another question to him again. His eyes look cold, and his face doesn't seem very pleased. Even so, his tone didn't rise and still sounds casual.
The truth is, he's actually quite annoyed and not in a good mood. Something happened in their residence which made him upset. Plus, he learned that Vincent came home alone. And another thing, he's actually standing outside for quite some time now. He got into an argument with the guards, and even after having the upper hand in their small debate, one of the guards took some time finding the young master Vincent. William couldn't do anything but wait outside patiently while leaning his back on their car.Vincent walks closer to the gate and holds its iron bars. "It's because I don't want to interrupt your reunion with your family." He then averted his eyes from William and lookThe sun already starts to rest on the west. Vincent and William are riding one of the cars that William's family owns. They're heading back to the Lopez's manor.Slowly, William's head lowers until he could lean on Vincent's shoulder. He seemed tired and not in a good mood."Are you sure you're fine? Why do you seem so weak now? You were full of energy just this morning." Vincent asks as he pokes William on the cheek. Seeing William like this... this situation is something Vincent considers as rare. He's a burst of walking sunshine after all... or at least that's what Vincent thought. The truth is, William is only cheerful when Vincent is around. When he's not, he's back to his "mature" self.Getting only silence as a reply, he pokes William's cheek again. "Are you still upset that I went home alone and left you cluelessly? Hey, say something."Then the other let out a deep sigh. "Don't mind me. I'm just... feeling exhausted." William said in a tone that expresses his lo
"Ulysses." Dylan snapped his fingers in front of Ulysses twice. "Are you even listening?"Only by then did Ulysses got dragged back to the reality from the flooding thoughts in his mind. He didn't even notice that he's already spacing out. He's too occupied recalling the strange things that happened in that apartment. Now, he's convinced. That apartment is clearly a haunted one, even without Mr. No face around. Or does his unseen roommate have something to do or at least has an idea about what just happened?"Huh?" Ulysses looks at Dylan with his eyebrows knitted."I knew it, you aren't listening at all. Anyway, aren't you going to unbox your luggage?" He points at some of Ulysses' luggage on his bed. "You see, your things are occupying my portion of the place.""Right." Ulysses rises on his feet and came to pick up his things. That's right, Ulysses and Dylan are officially roommates, just like William and Vincent back in the old days."What were you thinking?" Dylan
"Don't waste your time looking for it. I already checked that this morning. It's not there." Dylan said to Ulysses who is currently skimming the entire issue of the school paper released by the Broadcasting Club for this day. Time flies so fast and it's already Friday. The same day that the Broadcasting Club will release the second school paper for this week. There's nothing much happenings in our protagonists' lives, and that probably is the reason they felt the time flows a little faster than usual. It's already past five in the afternoon yet Ulysses is still sitting on his chair inside the cramped Student Council Office. He's done with today's student council matters so he's spending his extra time to have a good look at the newest school paper released. He doesn't normally read the school paper but today is different. He's waryof something. Something that could turn his high school life upsid
Just as Denise told them, it didn't take her much time to go to the Student Council Office. Well... just about half an hour. However, it was quite surprising on Dylan and Ulysses' part when she arrived at the place with a battalion ofyoungladies. They are all grinning like they are planning to do something wicked. "I didn't know the Women's Volleyball Club hasquite a lot of members." Ulysses isn't directly talking to anyone. More like, he's just talking to himself. Even though Dylan is aware of this, he somehow feels a little responsible for covering for his twin sister. Dylan fakes a smile as he scratches his cheek with his forefinger. "Uh... well... yeah?" Dylan knows very well that they are not from the Women's Volleyball Club. Within the four long years,
"Ugh... It's a tiring day!" Dylan complains as he throws himself on his bed. After passing the intense interrogation that Dylan went through in the hands of the grumpy Student Council President, as well as the tiringphotoshoot, Denise, Dylan, and Ulysses finally returned home. While Denise got her energy recharged to the highest level, it's the complete opposite for Dylan and Ulysses. Dylan underwent such pressure from Ulysses. Meanwhile, Ulysses got his energy drained from all those cameras. Ulysses puts his bag on the corner and sits on the edge of the bed. "I swear, I'm not doing that again." Then lays next to Dylan. Dylan turns his head to Ulysses and asks, "Even if Denise asks you for it?" "..." Ulysses blinks twice like he's thinking through it with utmostcaution before he turns his head to Dylan
The warm sunlight outside that came through the windows eventually wake Dylan up. His mind is blank like usual every time he wakes up. He blinks twice, thinking, "My alarm didn't sound. What day is today?" He's still in a state where he's in between asleep and awake while trying to figure out if he has classes today or not. After some time of thinking, he realized, "Right. It's Saturday." Then, he closed his eyes again and went back to sleep. But then his awaken side won't let him sleep again. It reminds his sleepy side that something is amiss. He definitely woke up already! How come he's in bed again?! In fact, he and Ulysses already had their breakfast this morning. They went out of bed early compared to his usual weekend because they both agreed to go back to the apartment. Then he gradually realized, they also left their house already and headed to their destination. This realization made his eyes open again, this time, wider. He immediately looked
"Hey, aren't you doing something with regards to Student Council matters? Why are you just spacing out?" Dylan asked William who is lost in his thoughts forquitesome time now. It's already afternoon when they got back to their apartment. It was a tiring journey andto behonest with himself, Dylan doesn't know if he's feeling exhausted because his brain wants him to feel like he's tired or he reallyis tired. Or maybe it's because he's sitting at the edge of the bed where the temptation and the force of gravity is stronger. Whatever the case is, all he knows is that he wants to sleep even though the sun is still up in the sky. Despite feeling sleepy, he refused to at least take a nap. He thought, does it even make sense? Can he even sleep inside of a dream
Dylan's sleepy eyes blink twice. He finds himself lying on the wooden floor inside the old apartment that Ulysses used to rent. Well, technically, the grumpy Student Council president is still renting this room since he already paid for this month. Also, the caretaker rarely comes into the said building so Ulysses hasn't given back the keys yet. He rises from hisposition and saw Ulysses is already up. Dylan noticed that the other is clutching his shirt near his chest. From the looks of it, he seems to have a hard time breathing. Without thinking twice, Dylan rushed in his direction. "What happened? You look so pale!" The thing is, Ulysses is feeling unwell for about five minutes now. In fact, he woke up from that dream because of his difficulty in breathing. It just happened out of nowhere without any obvious causes. "I can't breathe..." Dylan could barely hear his voice. U
