"Rhea! I miss you so much!" Rylee hugged Rhea closed to her, closing the gap between the two, while Rhea was suffocating from her bear-hug. "Let go…!" She cried out, trying to struggle out from Rylee's grips. As Rylee doesn't seem to hear her and continues to hug her, doesn't realize her own strength.
"Rylee! You're choking her!" Luna yelled, after she just got near them. "Oops! Sorry!" Rylee let go of the hug, as Rhea stumbled a little, holding onto her knees, to help her with her balance. "Did something run into ya? Ya seems busier than usual." Noah said, talking to Luna, but it seems Luna didn't hear her, since she doesn't respond or raise her head.
Noah tilted his head to the side, wondering if she heard her or not, he then decided to ask her once again. "Luna! Can you hear me?" He grabbed both her shoulders, as Luna finally looked up at him, a surprised expression showed on her face, after a while of staring at him, while her mind was filled with many things, she finally responded.
"I'm sorry. Got lost in thought…what is it?" She asked, Noah furrowed his brows, finding something weird about her. "You good? We can drop by to drink after school if you're interested." He recommended, as the others peaked at Luna, over both his shoulders. "That's a great idea! But, I'm okay, nothing to worry about!" Luna smiled, as she waved her hands in front of her, trying to reassure her friends.
The three stay silent at her words, doubting her. "Seems sus." Rylee squinted her eyes, throwing her suspicions at Luna, "Mhm." Rhea nodded, agreeing with her, and mimicked her, doing the exact same things Rylee does. "You can tell us! But, if you don't want to it's okay…" Noah said, reminding her that she can rely on them.
"Guys! Seriously, I'm fine! What do you mean by sus anyway? Some new words or something? Don't be mad at me for reading the dictionary." Rylee shrugged and replied, "Dunno, some really old memes about a game that I discovered." Luna sighed and facepalmed.
Their peaceful, quiet, and fun moment was disturbed by the annoying ringing sounds of the school bell, telling them it's their time to attend the class soon.
They stayed silent, before they all looked at Rhea, waiting for her opinions. "What do you three want me to do?" Rhea questioned, tilted her head slightly. "You know the call." Noah wiggled his brows, with a smirk plastered on his face. "Let's just hope the Student Council didn't catch us. My title had no effect against them." Rhea warned, since they move in a pretty big group. "Like hell, we'd get caught!" Rylee smugly said.
As the four are seen walking along the hallways, heading somewhere that does not get the Student Council eyes. Chatters filled the air around them, and of course, they were quiet enough for the classroom around them to not notice them.
After the students sat on their desks, the teacher then came inside the classroom, he could already spot 4 empty desks. He sighed and opened his attendance sheet, regarding the class he's in, 12-B. "I'm guessing that…these four are absent?" He asked his students, as some of them nodded their heads immediately, while some looked at the empty desks, along with some chatters regarding these absentees. "Alright, alright! Quit the chatters!"
The event they're going to attend is in 2 weeks, which means, they only have a few days to train with each other, before they're facing the real deal. But, they are rather calm, and not panicking, despite the few times they got left, they are majorly calm. Well, it's because of their lack of care, sometimes, ignorance can be bliss.
Then, after 2 hours, the lessons finally ended, and it's the time for recess time, the long-awaited break to all students. And shortly, after the school bell rings, the teacher immediately ends their lessons and allows their students to go and take a break from their classes, as the students immediately left the class, rushed but still disciplined. Some of the students go straight to the cafeteria, some stay in the class, and some just strayed around the hallways, waiting for their friends to come. perhaps.
Rhea looked down from the school rooftop, staring down the schoolyard, seeing students happily have a talk with their friends. "Let's go. We should do something else rather than sitting around here." She said and stood up, while using her hands to dust off the back of her skirt. "Might as well blending with them." Rylee suggested, standing along with her.
Noah looked at his wristwatch and gasped. "Sorry! gotta go! See you guys later!" He quickly waved at the others, then rushed down the stairs, leaving the three with late replies. "Eh? What's he going to do?" Rylee questioned, with her head tilted to the side. Luna shrugged and checked her phone. "Do we have any things to do after school?" She asked her two friends. Rhea gazed sideways from the school scenery she's staring at, and replied, "Did you forget what we promised two hours ago?" She asked.
Luna thinks for a while, recalling the conversations they did two hours ago, and shrugged. "What was it? I forgot." Rhea facepalmed, "You've become forgetful, huh?" She sighed and rested her hand on her hip. "We were talking about resting and have some talk in a cafe! Did you seriously forget that?!" Rylee gasped dramatically, and slightly shook Luna's shoulders back and forth.
"Ah, sorry. Have lots of thoughts in my mind lately..." Luna apologies, Rhea let out a long, and deep sigh, "That's why you need some break. You keep thinking about lots of things, aren't you?" She said, questioning her slightly, "I'd really want to have a break and talk with you guys after school but...I had important things to do…" Luna apologies once again, she too feels slightly disappointed.
After hearing her replies, the two sighed deeply, both faces palming. "Seriously, what kind of things are you doing these past days?" Rhea asked, feeling slightly worried about her health. "Well...you two are aware of my likings, right?" Luna said, as the two nodded their heads, "Yeah, such as breaking inside my room, Korean actors, classy dessert, expensive clothes, and roasting us." Rylee says the last words with a glare straight to Luna's eyes. "You're right- wait! What do you mean by breaking inside your room?!" Luna shouted, after realizing what Rylee says in the first words of the sentences.
"You did that often! Especially when you were hunted down by your own guards after you fled from your house!" Rylee said, telling her the truth of her own doings. "it's not that often!" Luna declined the fact that she's doing it quite often. Y really did!" The two argue, one telling the truth to prove herself, and one telling lies to defend herself. While Rhea remained quiet, had no intentions to disturb the two, and doesn't see the point in joining them.
After more time of listening to their pointless arguments, Rhea decided to leave them by and decided to go down the rooftop, since she's feeling the need to go to the washroom. She then walked down the stairs, and head straight to the washroom, but, something is currently happening in front of the restroom, which forced her to stop middle track, but she didn't care nonetheless.
As soon as she came near the restroom, she can already feel the stares around her. Rhea walked near the door, that is currently closed, she was about to open it until the Vice President interrupted her. "I'm sorry, miss Rhea. But I will not let you got past the door." Eleanor said, with her hand in front of Rhea, stopping her to open the door.
Rhea didn't say anything and glared down at her, "And why shouldn't I?" She asked, her eyes staring sharply into Eleanor's ones. "The President is inside, and she ordered me not to let anyone past this door. I'm sorry, but please use the other restroom on the first floor." Eleanor said, still insisting to let anyone get past the door.
And instead of obliging her, Rhea clicked her tongue, "And you expected me to obey you just like that and went down the floor? Like hell, I would, Vice President." Rhea scoffed, mocking her in the lightest way. "I would appreciate to hear you talk in the right manner, miss Rhea." Eleanor said, trying to maintain her patience in the most possible way. "Then, outta my way." Rhea said, demanding her to move out from her way.
But yet, Eleanor didn't allowed her to go inside, which leave Rhea no choice but to use her Time Manipulation. "You leave me no choice, Vice President."
