It's time for lunch and students have assembled to have their meal in the lunchroom. Boys and girls are allowed to seat and munch together during this period.

Nice spots Evan at the end of the hall talking to a guy as she shoves her meal into her mouth. She recalls she was supposed to see him before lunch but that was almost impossible as they had a tight schedule in class.

And now he's talking to someone. She doesn't want to interrupt but start thinking twice since their talk doesn't seem to end.

Abigale keeps looking towards Nice's direction then back to Nice who isn't aware of her stare.

"Hey" Abigale calls but Nice doesn't pick up

"Nice" she calls again and still gets no response.

"Nice!" she says above her first and second pitch, enough for Nice to jump off her sit.

"Uhh" Nice replies with wide eyes

"Where have you been?"

Nice squints her eyes "What…do you mean?"

Abigale gestures with her eyes towards Evan who is about living his seat.

Nice suddenly jerks up rushing towards Evan living Abigale in total confusion while dazing Nice's empty seat.

"Evan…wait up" Nice succeeds meeting his pace as Evan pauses and she stops before him with a slightly abnormal breath.

"Aww…what a day" she mutters resting her hands on her knees in a squatting manner.

"Where are you running a race all the way?"

She yacks her head up looking into his eyes "I guess…though I was the only racer" she lets out as her chest slowly takes its normal rhythm.

He nods gently staring into her sable eyes and studying her actions as her pupils rested on his full lips unconsciously just as it did the last.

She gulps looking back into his eyes but he just stares at her blankly saying "You haven't said anything"

"Yeah…I came for what we had to talk"

"You're late," he says

"I know but that wasn't intentional…"

"I stick to my words. Till tomorrow before we could talk" he says

"You got to be kidding me! You and I know the was absolutely no way for us to have this conversation because we both had other important things to do and now you're trying to place it on me!"

He looks at her blankly "You know what? I think you don't want to tell me what happened in that chamber and how I found myself in your goddamn quarter because you have something to do with that. This has been a game from the start right!?"

Evan just gazes into her eyes speechlessly then fucks his hands in his polished black hair bringing a stubborn strand against his forehead partially waving his left eye.

"I guess that's a yes" she concludes

"I should have known this long ago" she adds about to walk away when he says "Meet me at the sucker field after classes today"

She stops for a second then turns to face him walking away as his back is the only view she has of him.

Regaining her seat, she looks into her plate lost in thoughts

"What is going on with you and Evan girl?" Abigale askes and Nice looks at her with a faint smile "Nothing" she says

Abigale studies her for a while "You sure it's nothing?"

"Yeah…" Nice picks up her drink from her side then placing the bottle in-between her lips looking away from Abigale's gaze as the liquid finds its way through her throat.

"If you say so" she settles then continues "By the way…I'll need the last book I gave you for the next period. All my assignments are within"

"Sure…just hope this teacher isn't annoying like the first"

Abigale laughs "No she isn't"

"I don't want to deal with another interview"

"I know right…"

Later that day, Nice went to the field immediately after lectures just as he recommended.

Evan was playing sucker with another team while the girls were cheering…

What the hell! Did he just make me come over here to watch him play soccer? Nice curses under her breath as she scans Evan in the field before taking a seat on the second row.

Jessica and her friends dart their eyes toward Nice from the other side with mischievous smiles but she doesn't see as she frowns and regrets why she was here in the first place.

After patiently waiting for him to finish a game she was drawn into as she cheered for Evan's team to win, the game was over and the other team was 10points behind Evan's team.

Nice was so happy that she forgot why she came here. She isn't a fan of soccer but her presence today made her become one.

As everyone was clearing up, she realized the time had passed and there was no way she could converse with Evan since it was nap time.

Jessica went and wrapped her hand around Evan's neck but he didn't pull away as he slowly parted her back and let go of her.

For some reason, Nice was displeased as she took her gaze away from them only to spot Johns who was putting on his campus ware and walking towards a girl with blond hair and gave a peg on her lips.

Some junior students who were watching started fidgeting to themselves as they walked away.

After some time, Evan viewed Nice sited alone so he excused himself at Jessica and his friends then moved towards her.

When Nice saw him coming closer, she gave her most crumbled look as though she has never smiled before.

"I'm sorry we had a surprising match" Evan apologizes stopping in front of her and she stands up facing him.

"Does this mean…our program is canceled?" she requested

"No" he replies shortly

"…" she crumbles her brows

"Follow me," he says walking past her and she turns following him with a question "Where are we going? I'm not supposed to be here now" she protests

"Absolutely!" he says turning to face her "You're not supposed to be here but you already are. And if I tell you to leave you'll think I'm playing games with you. Now, what do you want me to do?"

Nice stares at him dumbfounded for a moment before looking away at Jessica who is currently walking out of the field with her friends.

Bringing her gaze to him "Where did you want to take me?" she askes

He makes a 90degree turn and walks ahead without making a sound and she follows.

They head into a corridor with no beings then Evan opens a door on its left and gets in. Nice stands there contemplating if she should do the same or not while Evan waits for her to take a step which she does afterward in a slow manner.

As soon as she strides in, the door was locked automatically living her and Evans enclosed.

"What the hell was that!?" she exclaims in fear as goosebumps pop out of her tarnished brown skin.

Evan who was still facing the door without blinking an eye suddenly darted his iris at Nice which was slowly transforming into complete darkness.

Nice widen her view while her heartbeat raised unhealthy making her unable to breathe properly.

"E-Evan…you" she tries uttering out words as she steps back gently not focusing on her path.

After his eyes become totally dark covering his sclera, she almost stumbles down but manages to root herself from hitting the ground.

"Somebody help!!!" she screams feeling herself about to disintegrate into the dust which was a waste of time as the enclosed room began to spin blurring her view.

"There's no one here to help…just you and me" Evans shows forth fangs from his incisors stepping closer to her with a life-draining glare.

"Don't you dare come any close…stay away from me" she shutters blinking of what seemed to scale forming around her pupils making it unable for her to stride away.

"W-what are you doing to me?"

Evan smiles mischievously already inches away from her "Relax! I'll take care of you"

She feels her lungs compressing into molded cement as she strives for oxygen from the enclosed chamber.

As soon as Evan pauses before her, she gently and slowly fades into darkness as her lids shut fervently and-

"Miss Nice" Mrs. Jana calls and Nice rapidly wakes up breathing heavily with sweat drizzling down her skin.

She looks around at the set of students encircling her alongside her caretaker and friends.

Her clothes were slightly stripped off as she looked down at them confusedly then back to someone she least expects to see after this nightmare.

Evan settles right next to her with concern clearly writing on his face. Though he meant no harm, she became frightened by him as her breath rose again.

Mrs. Jana orders Evan to leave her side after noticing the front she present and he did understandably six feet from Nice.

"Do you feel better now?" Mrs. Jana questions caressing the edge of her small square feature.

It's then she noticed she was seated on a bed inside a room which seemed like the school nursing facility.

Nice nods feeling her temperature back to normal though visions of what happened don't leave her thoughts causing her to glare at Evan devastated.

"What happened to me?"

The principal pauses for a while before ordering "Everyone, reclaim your class now"

As soon as Evan was about living, the principal mentioned "Evan you stay"

He shrugged, turned around, and faced Mrs. Jana whose countenance wasn't on him but Nice.

The lady in charge infirmary came and handed a glass of water for Nice to drink, which she took still not keeping her gaze off Evan.

Though he wondered why she keeps giving him that expression, he kept an unreadable profile as he stared back.

"You went blackout after going through an outrage we still don't know what caused it. Has this ever happened to you before?" Mrs. Jana requests as soon as Nice handed the glass back to the lady.

"No…Never" Nice respond still glaring at Evan

"Okay…" Mrs. Jana says nodding gently before pursuing Nice's gaze towards Evan who has been maintaining a non-expressional Visage.

Rolling back her vision to Nice she squints her eyes "Is there something we need to know?"

Nice brings her gaze to Mrs. Jana who waits to absorb what she has run in mind.

"Did you have a night terror?"

She looks deep into Nice's eyes knowing clearly that's what took place while she was inanimate.

Nice glances at Evan trying to search what's with him through his lineaments but gets non. She looks back at Mrs. Jana nodding her head.

"What was it like?"

Nice calculate within her assuming she may let this out to Mrs. Jana and pulls her into danger just the way she already is so she shakes her head disapproving "I prefer keeping to myself"

Mrs. Jana raises her brows before nodding while Evan narrows his lids perpetuating why she said that and her gaze falls back on him for the one-hundredth time now.

"Why is he here?" Nice questions not comfortable with his presence.

"He carried you here before I was informed about your state"

"Did he tell you where he raised me from?"

"I raised you from class when the physics lecture was going on after you went short of breath"

"Yeah…you were suffocating with sweat living your pores the moment I set my eyes on you. But after some attention giving to you by the lady in charge and Evan, you came back." Mrs. Jana finalized

Nice looked at both of them for a while before lowering her head dazing her small hand.

"I'll be living you here with the nurse. If you need anything, do not hesitate to speak up"

Nice nodded "Thanks…"

Mrs. Jana graced her with a gentle smile before rising to leave. She softly grins at Evan then heads towards the door.

"Mrs. Jana" Nice calls

"Yes child" she responds turning around

"Why is he not living with you?"

Mrs. Jana is taking aback by her question but manages to keep a normal expression "I don't know. Why don't you ask him?" she suggests and Nice dart her eyes towards Evan who has crumbled templets.

"I should get going," Mrs. Jana says then matches out of the infirmary while Evan stares into her pupils.

Nice shift adjusting herself on the bed while her eyes unsteadily ex-rays the room trying her possible best to send him a notification that his presence is not welcomed.

But it intrigues him to take steps close to her interrupting why she behaves so weird.

"Do not…get any close" Nice reciprocates with her hands up attracting the attention of the lady in charge of the infirmary.

"Is anything the matter?" the lady in charge asked

"Can you please tell him not to come close to me"

The lady uneven her fonts staring at both of them before mentioning "You heard her Evan"

He nods towards the lady then stares back at Nice who isn't appease "Why are you acting this weird towards me?" he inquires

She folds her knuckles staring at him unbelievably "I'll never let you get me! I'm not an easy catch like your victims"

"What are you talking about?"

"Do not act wisely. I'd choose to tell Mrs. Jana about your plans towards me but felt it better to keep it to myself hoping you never come close to me" Nice continued

Evan shakes his head then sighs heavily jamming his hands in the sacks on his pants.

"I do not know what has conceived in your mind but I pray it doesn't take complete hold of you and make you sound crazy like you are now. If you don't confine to me why you're acting this way, I'm sorry you're alone because I won't be able to help you and no one will" he lets out in a low tone enough for her ears to catch.

She trembles a little after hearing that. It sounds so convincing that her marrows send feedbacks on how true his words are but she resists looking away.

"Hope you get well soon. There's so much you need to know"

"Exactly! So much about you, about this establishment…whatever it is, I prefer being stuck in that domain because there's no way I'm meeting you either later or ever!" Nice says quickly above her normal tone and the lady in charge of the infirmary peeps at both of them.

"You wish" Evan responds then takes a step back glaring at her pale face before making several strides away from the infirmary living her with mixed thoughts.

To be continued…
