The Prologue Adjourned

The four walked down one of the exterior hallways to the college eager to return to their dorms. The moon was high in the sky, its light shining through the archways that looked over the courtyard. A single train rug ran down the stone floor, and there was the national portrait on the gray walls.

Deuce yawned rubbing his tired eyes. "Revoked expulsion… I'm exhausted," he said looking at the others.

Ace smiled a bit. "Good grief, huh?" The ginger chuckled.

Grim was still singing, dancing around the human feat. "Tomorrow, I start my first day at Night Raven College as a student!" he smiles, jumping onto Xinyi's shoulder. "I'm gonna leave you all in the dust and take first place!"

Ace couldn't help but laugh. "Big talk for someone who is a part-time student… But it's all good."

Deuce smiled at the two new students. "Tomorrow, we are classmates. Xinyi, Grim."

"I-I wonder how it will go." the girl said before bowing a bit. "A-again, n-nice to m-meet you."

Ace looked at her and shook his head. "Saying all that again is embarrassing. Can you knock it off," he says.

Deuce only laughed at her words. "Pfff. That is true. Even if we don't want to, we're probably going to see each other almost every day." he said before pointing at Ace. "And I'm stuck with this jerk in Heartslabyul."

"Knowing I have to see your face every day, no thanks~" Ace smiles back.

The raven rolls his eyes. "That's what I'm saying. Truant Ace," he states a bit annoyed, tho a smile evident on his lips.

"Yeah, yeah you almost expelled crybaby Deuce. Okay then, see you tomorrow Supervisor." With that, the two walked off, possibly towards their dorm.

"That name…" Xinyi mumbles, silently wondering if she would ever get used to it. She shakes her head and stares at the fading figures. "T-they might make a good combo," she states looking at Grim.

The gray monster nods, following her gaze. "Those two might be a good combo. They seem like the type to fight because they are so close." he then looks at the girl, a never-ending smile on his face. "Tomorrow, we aren't handyman no more! Finally….finally…. Our bright and sunny academy life at Night Raven College is about to begin!" They both cheer before retiring to their home.

Grim instantly fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, yet Xinyi was still awake. When she was sure the monster was asleep, she went downstairs to find a pair of scissors. Once she found the object in question she rushed up to the bathroom to prepare. Binding her hair back with rubber bands, she took the blades and placed them gently on the strands. She looked in the mirror, took a deep breath, and closed the handle. The locks fell to the floor.

It is sad that some people aren't waiting for their happy ending anymore… They're just waiting for the end.
