The car stopped on the huge front gate of their school, Sean Gomez opened opened the door and bowed as he took River's bag in his hand.

'Maybe, this is a routine?' River thought puzzled as he followed Sean who despite behaving like a butler is the one leading him to the classroom instead.

River did his best to try to match the directions with the one from the former owner's memories.

'Strange.' He thought. 'Those building doesn't seem like its familiar...'

He looked around at the hallways and found that the former host doesn't even seem familiar with the buildings layout.

'What a troublesome former owner. Does he never attend school? But that's impossible because his parents practically ordered him to do his best at school and for River their words are law.'

Sean abruptly stopped and opened the door like its a routine further causing River confusion as his (Sean) actions doesn't seem familiar.

'What's happening?'

River's brow's furrowed as he tried to rummage through the original's memory.

Earlier when he saw Sean he even thought that he wasn't always his driver but why would Sean act without saying anything as if this is a mere routine when he can't remember this happening in the original's memory.

River's hands shook a bit as he took his bag from Sean.

Maybe, its from excitement, the thrill of playing with something you cannot control or maybe its from fear of knowing something else is at work.

It can wipe out his existence if doesn't play by the rules.

'But how can he play by the rules when it was never stated and constantly changing?'

He gently closed the door behind him without sparing the other a glance.

The first thing he noticed as he entered the classroom was the mocking stares of his classmates and their grin.

'This doesn't make sense... but that makes it more fun.'

River's beautiful features were only more highlighted when he met their mocking grin with a devilish one of his own.
