Eerie Conclusions

The restaurant that Belle chose was close and it only took a couple minutes for Seraph to drive there.When she arrived, she quickly saw Bell sitting at table and walked over.When she sat down she saw that Belle's eyes were red and puffy, as if she had been crying.Reminding herself that this was her closest friend, she asked,

"What's wrong?What happened?"Seraph asked worriedly, as if she hadn't just spent the day crying herself.

Belle hurriedly touched her eyes, most likely not realizing how obvious it was that she had cried until now.

"It's nothing, don't worry.Anyway, how have you been?I heard you had to go to the hospital."

Seraph looked at her doubtfully for a second.Once she saw that Belle didn't want to elaborate, she drew her attention the question she had to answer.She forcefully brought up the original owner's personality and said,"I've been good, I only got a little shock is all.It wasn't anything harmful."They paused their short conversation to order food.

Seraph thought for a moment and then said,"Did you hear that there's going to be a high school reunion soon?"

Belle nodded and then said, "Yeah, but I heard that most people aren't going to go."

Seraph was surprised,"Why not?"

"Because Viola has already confirmed that she's going, and nobody wants to be caught up in a scandal with her after she caused that one actor to die."

Seraph paused for a moment and dug through her memory.Viola is one of the few people who succeeded to become a celebrity after she graduated.However it was mostly just because of the money that her family supplied her with and the scandals that she dragged many actors into.Apparently one of the actors that she targeted had a glass heart and couldn't handle the pressure of the rumors that Viola caused.The rumors got worse and worse, and before long he killed himself.

After Seraph remembered, she questioned,"Do you plan to go?"

Personally, Seraph didn't have any opinions on the matter, but if Belle went she would probably go too.

After a second Bell shook her head,"No."Belle then looked up hesitantly at Seraph.

"Seraph, the truth is..."

Before she could finish, the waiter brought out the food.Having missed her opportunity to speak, Bell just looked down and started eating her food slowly.Seraph just looked at her for a moment, as if waiting, then started eating her food elegantly.

Belle was wrapped up in her own thoughts, but she was distracted by the way that Seraph was acting.On the surface she looked elegant and serene, but looking closer Belle could see the naivety and innocence that was hidden in her eyes.Belle was confused, Seraph may have been pampered from a young age, but she still was exposed to the world's evils.

"Belle."Just as Belle was coming upon a eerie conclusion she was disrupted by Seraph's voice.

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?"
