Episode 3

"Won't it be weird to wear P.E pants at college all day though?''

I found myself speaking outloud while standing in a bathroom at a nearby grocery shop.

I had two options at the table, one was to go back home and have dad inquire me from head to toe and eventually him finding out about this experience which would turn him even more overprotective.

Second is, I use this ugly jacket for a few more minutes and get to college and wear the P.E pants in my locker which would result in my teacher inquiring about the situation and hence leaking the news to his friend which is dad.

Either way i'm screwed, the whole situation is making me sigh over and over.

What the hell..why did I have to be so stubborn...

I lowkey scolded myself while trying to reason out why I did that at the same time. After washing the stained area with water and taking off my underwear completely dumping it in a plastic bag and tossing it in the trash can. I put on the soaked pants on me..damn it's cold ugh.

I wrapped the jacket around my waist covering it and somehow made my way out even with one of the employees eyeing me suspiciously.

I had obviously no choice but to go with the P.E pants plan.

I somehow, uncomfortably walked my way to college creeping at my own locker like a snitch. Even that ugly jacket angel can't save me now from getting a good hearing from dad.

I sighed and tried to unlock my locker but the key wouldn't turn...is it jammed?

I pulled out the key and tried to pull at the handle and it easily opened..what the hell? Didn't I lock it?. Though this wasn't the only surprise that awaited me, there was a plastic bag in my locker with a pair of brand new college uniform. I picked the package up looking around if this was some kind of prank or accident but everyone was in classes by that time.

It can't be those bullies right? What if they felt scared due to the picture that the girl snapped and they decided to make up for it? Or was it her? She was wearing the same uniform as me right? Which means she is here..in the same college as me..just the thought of it made my cheeks heat up since she knew something really embarrassing about me..yeah but so do those guys..wahhhh who gave it damn it?!

Besides, those guys spoke like they had seen me before so it must be them, they called me senpai right? Juniors maybe? And if I really have seen her before, I can't really not notice those blue eyes since they really stand out. Either way, I'm thinking too much.

I borrowed a shower in the locker room and changed as quickly as possible. This cloth looks quite new and expensive too, compared to my own second hand uniform. Would dad notice?

I had all sorts of questions in my mind as I buttoned up my shirt and fixed my collar while continuously looking at that red jacket..I probably have to wash this and find her and return this, is what I thought.. though what I didn't knew was..she wasn't that far away..

Classes went on as normal, boring, lifeless and monotonous. Especially since I have no friends really to enjoy them with. People would come to naturally avoid me; looking at that collar around my neck.

I'm not even..hiding that I'm an omega is probably what erks them. Otherwise there must be atleast a few omegas around the college no?

My lack of modesty is the issue for a few of them and others just don't want to be a part of my 'omega troubles'.

I packed my bag properly since I trust none of these suckers, as we went out for P.E.

Ah, I feel so confident wearing this new uniform, I don't know why but all I can admit is..it feels good not wearing a uniform full of sewn up holes. I even felt truly free running in the ground too.

"Alright everyone, gather up, today we will have a little match between the seniors and the juniors'' The instructor announced gaining everyone's attention. We started to gather around her for further instructions. "Alright, those of you who think they can compete, move to this side, it's senpais vs kohais..the rest can cheer for their friends, we need about twenty volunteers, ten in each team and the team who has the most volunteers in first five people that reach the goal would win, so make sure you work as a team'' the instructor told excitedly. The lazy ones obviously choose to sit but I had some built up frustration within me that I needed to burn.

Besides our team was short one member too..All these lazy useless bums tho..

"Good!'' The instructor smiled after she had her twenty people infront of her. "I'll explain the route, it is not a simple race obviously..first off all I will distribute a riddle to each one of you, there are ten flags hidden inside the college building, the riddle is actually the location of each flag. There are ten riddles and twenty people so two people might end up with same riddle. Once you get the flags, make sure to help your fellows and then run one whole round of race ground and cross the checkpoint with the flag. Do remember, crossing the checkpoint without the flag doesn't count and you cannot help your friends anymore once you have crossed the checkpoint''

She made a long explanation, most of which flew right over my head without even reaching my brain.

I got handed a piece of a paper with an inscription on it

''Bright and lively is my existence, controversial, comic or grave, there's no resistance. Sometimes I am a messenger, sometimes an entertainment. Yet either way I am information''

What the hell? Lively, controversial, messenger, entertainment, Information? Um books? No no books aren't lively or bright, those things kill me inside.

I nervously looked around at others looking at their own little papers. The thought of cheating almost crossed my mind. What if I follow one of them to a location and take their flag instead of going for this location..ah but dammn, it's not like I'm getting money out of this game. Everyone looks like they are interested in figuring it out as well. Maybe a little effort won't kill me..

I sighed and read the inscription once more.. Lively, controversial, messenger, entertainment, information?..um computer lab? It is more lively then library? Should I go and check over? I hesitated for a moment before actually starting to move. If I don't find it in computer lab, I can still try library..I convinced myself and made a run towards the building. Others were on move as well in quite some directions. I had obviously no idea if I was looking at the right place but I wanted to try nonetheless. I made it to the computer lab and excused myself while entering the empty room and started to search around for any flags. I wasn't very lucky to begin with and this was even more frustrating. The more I looked, the angrier I got for not being able to find it. This sucks..

I pretty much banged my toe against one of the desks while passing by and aggressively punched at the table getting my knuckle hurt as well.

AHHH I'm gonna kill someone! Fry them and eat them! Oh good, now i'm hungry!

Lively, controversial, messenger, entertainment, information..I repeated to myself making a second round over.

Well, computer lab isn't really controversial or entertainment, they don't really allow us to watch anything entertaining..it is for work only..but then library isn't entertaining either.. what the hell is  Lively, controversial, messenger, entertainment, information..?

I came out thinking to myself and repeating those words over and over as two girls passed by me talking to eachother.

"Wasn't Himari sama so good today as well! Ahhh I want to shake her hand'' one of the girl squeaked. Such a pity, these fangirls are..I almost snickered unintentionally and the girls stopped.

"What is your problem? Why did you just did that thing after hearing us'' she asked prudely. Ah..I hate people like her, always looking for a fight, so I just avoided her.

"Don't you dare mock Himari sama! You boys are so jealous that she can play the hero role better than you!'' She yelled from my back. What the hell!! I don't even know what this chick is talking about but can she just shut the hell up?

I walked away even faster than a bullet train and found myself alone in the halls once again.

"Hero..huh'' I mumbled to myself almost giving up the idea of participating but then it suddenly struck me!

Lively, controversial, messenger, entertainment, information! It has to be the auditorium!

My feet began to move on their own as a ran down the stairs to the auditorium and started  searching as enthusiastically as before. I kind of felt like a genius for this one even though it wasn't confirmed that I was right. The auditorium wasn't as lively at the moment since the drama club was just packing their stuffs but I kept on looking until my eyes went to the stage and there it was taped on the stage wall, a small red flag with a 'congrats on solving the quiz' inscription. Now I just have to get it and run back to race court..with that thought I climbed the stage but the flag was taped a little higher than what I could reach with my tip toes.

I looked around for something to support me to a certain height and found a broken chair in the corner.

I came this far and I wasn't giving up yet so I took the risk and got myself the chair. Standing upon it carefully I balanced myself since it was shaking so much.

I almost reached it with my fingers, though I needed just a little more to pull it off, so I carefully got on my tip toes despite the shaking chair and gave tried to grasp at the flag and let myself fall sideways as a little self sacrifice..I can bear as much as falling from a chair atleast, is what I thought..but what I fell on..wasn't the ground..it was softer then a ground at least..and when I actually looked down under me,

I had fallen on a girl!!

Damn,

Damn,

Damn,

I immediately pulled myself off her only to my surprise; when I saw her face..

Black hair and blue eyes with that pale yellow skin...

Like I said...

She wasn't so far away...
