Chapter 2

______________ MidnightI slowly tip-toed out of our room as I packed all the things I needed for our night hunting. It would be nice if I had a car outside but couldn't afford it. Anyway, I walked outside and Blaise was waiting for me, the others were already in his car."Man, what took you so long? I was about to drive and leave you here waiting" Blaise joked and walked towards the front of the car, putting his seatbelt on. Felix and Daisy were still busy gossiping until I came."Sorry, I had to be sure that my sister would not hear any noise. I wouldn't risk that" I rolled my eyes when I saw what was in the bag that Felix bought."Seriously? How much did you pay for this?" I scoffed and took one flashlight and aimed at them. The others groaned and covered their eyes, "Geez, Flor they're not that expensive" Felix snatched the flashlight from me and put it back in the bag."As if you would even see a creature in the forest" I emphasized. Felix let out his tongue taunting me."Enough the both of you, let's just go already" Daisy whined while chewing on her gum. Gosh, my friends are so annoying. Since high school, I already befriended them and spent so much time with them. I was glad that we still are classmates this Senior Year."Ugh, fine fine" I sat on the passenger seat. Blaise then started the engine and drove off towards the haunted house that Felix mentioned. It was on the outskirts so it would take us an hour to get there._________________Soon enough, the driveway was going smoothly, and Blaise occasionally talked to me and the others. I was watching the view as it passed me, I was in peace that is until they sang a song. Trying not to get irritated by them being so noisy. They were freaking so loud on the quiet road, even other cars that passes us will look at us weirdly."Ohh, the misery everybody wants to be my enemy~~"The three screamed except for me and the newbie. The song they were singing was Enemy by Imagine Dragons, of course, the three of them were so into it that they didn't care how loud they were."Pray it away, I swear. I'll never be a saint no way~~" Felix sang while he wrapped his arm around Daisy. She giggled as she sang beside him. Blaise was bobbing his head but not too hard which might cause him to hit his head on the steering wheel.I looked in the side mirror to see if the newbie was getting uncomfortable, I didn't want him to think that my friends were crazy, but it was also his decision to come with us so I guess he would be alright.  When I looked, I saw that he was already staring at me in the mirror. His gaze was sharp and he didn't mind Felix and Daisy's movements. I averted my gaze quickly. Why does he look at me as if he's looking deeply into my soul?

I suddenly held my head and silently winced as I saw images in my head, a house with 

"So, newbie" Blaise started while steadily driving ahead. "Got anything to talk about yourself?" Felix and Daisy clapped their hands like kids."Oh, another introduction" They grinned."Blaise" I warned him, and he only shrugged, "What I wanted to know more about him" I sighed, "Well, it might not be comfortable for him-""No, it's fine" Marcellus cuts in. Blaise grinned and took a deep breath."So tell me why did you decide to attend F.U.N Academia." Blaise started. The two listened intently."My parents wanted me to" He replied shortly, another silence occurred. Then Felix piped in, "Do you have siblings?""I have 2 brothers, I am the third of my brothers" He replied."Do you have hobbies?" Daisy asks,"I like to draw and play the piano"The three ask a few questions to get to know him better. Some of it was personal and some were just random. I wasn't interested in asking him anything, so I just listened. I noticed Blaise looking at me, "Aren't you gonna ask him anything?" Blaise whispered as he leaned a bit."I already know a few of him since you already asked him," I narrowed my eyebrows when the wind picked up, Blaise pressed more in his paddle. My black hair slightly swishing because of how fast he runs his car.Blaise shrugged and leaned on his seat while still driving, "Mm, if you say so." The rest of us were silent except for Felix and Daisy talking more, Blaise was focused on driving while behind me, the newbie was closing his eyes.A while later, we made it to the Camping Area, we got out of the car and looked at our surroundings"It's so dark and spooky" Daisy whispered.Felix took out the bag and gave us flashlights and bags."So in this camping activity, we will only have 3 missions, one to explore the forest, take a swim on the lake, and three...don't get eaten by a creature," He said creepily in the last part."Tell me why are we doing this again?" Blaise said in annoyance, "I don't know, maybe to see and to catch the creature's attention" Felix nonchalantly said."As if they will reveal themselves from seeing your ugly face." I rolled my eyes, Felix looked at me and placed a hand on his chest pretending to be hurt by my words, "Oh, Flor, you stabbed me so deeply" He feigned in pain.I huffed and flicked his forehead, "You're quite exaggerating, dear Felix" He touched his forehead and glared at me, "That hurts" He grumbled."Yeah, yeah whatever" I walked past them and began to search for a safe place to stand a camp, the three were still busy talking. I pour the contents of the bag down the ground and prepare to make a small tent.

"Need help?" A deep voice said behind me. I turn to see Marcellus standing, I look behind his back and saw that he already finish his tent,' Damn, that was fast' I thought. His hands tucked in his hoodie pocket, a pair of brown eyes staring back at me as I nod, 

"Suit yourself".The three also began to move and make tents, they are sometimes arguing and complaining about their mistakes. I could see Blaise smacking Felix's head as he protested. Daisy could only sigh at the two men. Meanwhile, me and Marcellus were focused on our current goal.

I took a glimpse at his figure, his hair coming to his forehead as it was slightly wet from sweat. He's so focused on finishing the task.

"I haven't properly introduced myself" I started, he silently looked at me. "My name's Flora, Flora Crimson." I held out my hand to him.He only looked at my hands, I thought I was going to have the same treatment as Cassandra did, but to my surprise, he shook it, "Marcellus Moone" He said. His hands felt rough, veins were popping, maybe because of hammering a nail that became prominent.I smiled and nodded, "Please to meet you, Marcellus" We looked at each other's eyes, lost and admiring it. I felt so lost in his eyes that I forgot the three were there. His eyes, I think I've seen them before...But where?"Your eyes are really pretty" I mumble, he raises his eyebrows as he hears it, "Do they?" I widen my eyes when I realize what I said out loud. I retracted my hands to his and cleared my throat, trying to hide my reddening cheeks and look everywhere but him."Uh, sorry about that. I meant was the sky really pretty" I chuckled awkwardly while he just nodded. I wanted to bury myself deep down and never get out, That was so embarrassing."Look at that, they're becoming comfortable with each other,' Felix teased and approached us, Blaise and Daisy trailing behind. It seems they've also finished their tents.I glare at him, "Shut up, we were waiting for you three. You're taking so long" Felix approached us and placed his arms around my neck, "Oh, please. You don't have to be so stoic, and what are you guys talking about?"I gritted my teeth while getting flustered "Let go of me" I proceeded to punch his stomach making him wail in pain."Damn woman, you gotta chill" Felix then went beside Daisy. She only patted his head and smiled, trying to soothe him.

"Since all of us have our tents now, maybe we should go to the lake."Daisy suggested. The rest of us nodded and went to our bags to get our swimsuits and towels. Felix and Daisy led the way to the lake.

Blaise stridden towards me, "I swear, if I saw Jason, don't get mad if I left you and the rest."Blaise grumbled as I laughed at his scared face."Don't worry, if that happens, I'll tell Jason where you live' I whispered as he slapped my arms in annoyance.

"I hate you" I grinned at his comment, "Oh, please we all know that you love me" I teased. Blaise rolled his eyes but chuckled slightly.
