Aqua screamed while widening her eyes. It certainly was a surprise. As she screams , everyone's eyes looks at Aqua. The host called her name twice and asked her to come up on stage to get her outfit for the event. Defeated , Aqua slowly walks towards the stage. People whispers looking at her making her uncomfortable.

'Isn't that the rumored young murderer from years ago? '

'Murderer? It was supposedly an accident'

'Who cares? She's pretty and hot if I do say so myself'

'Too bad! She's in hell...'

Aqua clenched her teeth as they whispered. She comes up the stage and takes her uniform. She glares at the audience with a cold stare silencing the crowd. She was then escorted by guards leading her to a room. She was instructed to change. She felt nervous , she feared death. She sighed as she takes off her clothes carelessly.

The sound of an opening door caught the attention of Aqua. Aqua looked at the direction of the door , with widen eyes. A stranger--a handsome man in the door entrance with the same expression. Aqua focused on continuing her job. She didn't care. After all , she's still wearing a piece of cloth to cover her forbidden areas.

It doesn't change the fact that The Man just now was flustered by her reaction. He was indeed expecting to get hit by somewhat object.

"I-I'll let you continue , call me when you're done"

The Unknown Man stuttered , he was recently selected and that scared the balls out of him. Now , he just interrupted a very private manner--not to mention , from the opposite gender!

'Unbelievable'

The man sighed and waited for her to finished. Aqua was satisfied with the clothing. She calls for the man , signalling him that she was done. The man opened the door and placed his clothes on the chair.

"Uh...Sorry about earlier , It was rude of me"

The man scratched his neck nervously expecting a sour response.

"That's fine , it wasn't intentional. My name is Aqua. Aqua Violet. "

Aqua introduced herself and offered a hand. The man gladly accepted and replied.

"My name is Eugene , Eugene Fernandes"

"That is quite an interesting name!"

Aqua smiled.

"Thanks! Yours is probably very rare--slightly uncommon but it's not bad!"

Eugene smiled.

Slightly Blushing.

"I smell Romance here! "

A random person talked and it came from the door. They were so immersed with their introduction that they barely noticed her entering.

"I-It's not what you think!"

Eugene stuttered once again blushing through his awfully cute cheeks. The Girl entered and smiled happily.

"Hello! My name is Scarlet Locsker!"

She bowed to us , still smiling. Like nothing is wrong. It made Aqua feel dissapointed in herself. Being coward made her feel like she never changed.

She was currently in deep thoughts and heard Scarlet's question. The question made Aqua freez. She wasn't able to swallow what Scarlet said.

"Hey , aren't you that misunderstood "murderer" ?"

Scarlet emphasized the word "Murderer" as a joke. It wasn't meant to be funny. Scarlet believed that the incident was a form of defense for her mother. Scarlet idolized the little girl when she was as young as her. Meeting her , Being TeamMates with her and Being Friends with her made Scarlet explode with Joy.

"M-Misunderstood...?"

Aqua was clearly taken back by what Scarlet said. She was in a state of shock and happiness. She found someone that finally understood what actually happened. Aqua slowly came up to Scarlet.

"Yeah! Misunderstood! Yo! What are you doing--?! "

Aqua forced her into her embrace. Making Scarlet die from happiness--Joke.

"Thank you.. "

Aqua silently cried as she whispers to Scarlet's ear. Now and Then , she vowed herself to protect Scarlet and Eugene and her other teammate for their consideration in accepting her as a fellow teammate.

Looks like she wasn't going to go through this hell 'alone ' .
