How smart are you?

Belle's POV,

"How did this get her??" Arthur asked

"What do you mean?" the guy in long sleeves asked

"I found the same spy cam in my room also in Nash's."

"Why didn't you tell us or others near you?"

"Nash said it would be a bad idea."

Everyone looks at the guy we were just talking about like he did something weird; I cant quite understand what they are saying due to me talking to Wendy but it is something about camera's.

"What I mean by being a bad idea is that it might alert whoever put it that we have noticed it." The cute guy said

"You still should've find a way but you still have a good point for thinking about alerting them." The girl standing beside the guy with long sleeves

"Still want me to continue the cards?" the cute guy said

"I already lost my interest after seeing that camera."

"Well then I better get my morning walk."

The cute guy left through the open window leading outside.

"He looks antisocial and yet he act so cool." the long sleeve guy said

I want to get closer to that cute guy so I decided to follow him by making the excuse of wanting to walk for awhile alone.

I walk my way to the main door near the stairs. As I walk out of the building a beautiful sunshine greeted me. I spend a minute appreciating the sunshine not noticing I lost sight of him already. I know I am acting like a creep but I think that being close to him would be a good idea plus he might be the end of my single life.

I walked around and I wasn't able to see him so I crossed the bridge I used to enter this place yesterday. I walked around and forgot the path I came from and now I am slowly starting to panic cause if I remember it correctly I am 30 minutes away from the building.

I decided to be brave and walk in a straight-line since the only thing I remember is the rays from the sun hitting the ground; So I just need to follow the light.

As I notice a bright reflection of the sunlight I immediately run into it and as I reached it, I discovered that it is just a pearl reflecting the light. I walk nearer to it and the rock I am stepping in slipped and I almost fell but the cute guy managed to grab my hand before I fall down the rocky river. He pulled me back up and gave me a handkerchief upon seeing my sweat.

"Thank you." I said

"No problem; by the way what are you doing out here?" He asked

"Uh I just want to befriend you." I said

"Befriend? you could've just tell me straight earlier."

I looked at him and seems like he only has two expressions, being worried and a blank face.

"I know that's a faster way but you see my friend and I kinda take a liking on you so I thought that by knowing you first I will manage to impress her." I said

"Isn't that betrayal?"

"I don't mean it in that way but if that's how you see it so be it."

"I'm Nash Morton, you?" He raised his left hand on handshake level so I shake his hand and introduce myself.

"I'm Belle... Belle Delli." My voice cracked but I still managed to say it so all good.

"Lets head back?" Nash said

"Yea sure."

We are ten minutes out and the walk is nothing but pure silence so I decided to start asking non sense questions.

"Do you have a pet?"

"No"

"A girlfriend?"

"Not interested"

"Any hobbies?"

"Programming."

"That's a unique one, most people our age prefer football and singing rather than being productive."

"Its up to them anyways on how they plan to waste their life."

An hour later and we finally got back from the building. Everyone seems to be on their own rooms since we don't see them here on the main floor.

We were about to walk down the stairs till the girl from earlier approached us.

"Inserting the camera in point 1 second interval is pretty amazing." the girl said

"What do you mean?" Nash asked

"It just got me curious why would a social recluse do such thing."

"Let me ask you one thing, if you scale your intelligence from 1 to 10 what would it be."

"Uh I think we shou"

"1" Nash said

"That's an unusual answer."

"What is this about Jesse?" Nash ask

"Lets just say that what I saw you did earlier made me think of whether you can be trusted or not." The Jesse girl said

"Foolish question... of course not."

I am surprised by Nash's answer cause he doesn't look like a guy who would answer such question with a no. He even has his blank expression plastered on his face.

"Just like what Mr. Collins said; you are an interesting person."

She walks down the stairs leaving us behind.

"Lets just don't mind her." I said

"That's a good idea." He replied

Nash drop me into my room in basement 1 in front of Wendy's room. He left me his number and continue his way downstairs.

I entered my room and blushed as I remember how Nash saved me.

"Is he some kind of a knight??" I muttered

I hugged my pillow tighter as I kept thinking on how he gave me the handkerchief and how he grabbed my hand.

I stood up and grabbed the silver pen this place provided and start writing what happened on my diary.

To be honest I felt like somebody is watching me ever since I entered this room but ignoring it seems to be the best option since I always feel like this when I am alone but it really does feel like it this time.
