Valentine's day (Part 1)

Nyx was staring at a boy with a forced smile plastered on her face.

The boy is two years older than Nyx and a 3rd-year student.

The boy who just got rejected after confessing forced a smile, it looked grossly hideous. He was struggling to keep himself in check, as snots and tears started to trickle down his face unbeknownst to him.

Nyx silently and carefully left the area when the boy turned away from her.

"Whew! That marks the 26th confession. Fu*k!! I can't wait for this damn f**king day to end today, for gahds sake!" Nyx muttered, under her breath.

Compare to Aaron, Nyx was having a hard time dealing with the confessions.

Aaron was confessed by more than forty girls, he gave an excuse that he will not date or have any romantic feelings for anyone, for the time being to the girls. As the Blood heir, he has many responsibilities to shoulder. So he rejected everyone by acting feeling conflicted and giving out sorrowful smile, unlike Nyx's not so obvious forced smile, Aaron's smile was seen as obviously forced to the point that the 'smile' looked like making him guilty of doing something wrong, kind of smile.

But the girls still gave him, the chocolates though.

And he accepted all of them, who wouldn't? After all, it's free chocolates.

Aaron and Nyx were suffering from their own valentines day confession sessions, they can't help but curse this damn day.

~~~

Erisviel was speaking with her homeroom teacher about the Elite program of Carson Quinton de'ville Highschool.

"Erisviel! Please take some time to think this thorough, I know that you have already stated that you don't want to join the Elite program but with your results after the midterms, the Dean has actually offered you a full-scholarship til your graduation from Carson's." The teacher said handing over an envelope containing the letter from the Dean to Erisviel about the full scholarship.

The homeroom teacher, who was on his early 50s, is quite a friendly teacher as Erisviel always had a favourable impression on the teacher.

Erisviel took the envelope from the teacher and said.

"Okay, Mr Cahill I will think about it once more and will let you know about it in a week time about my decision."

The old teacher smiled hearing Erisviel's response and thanked her for listening to the old man one last time.

Erisviel has decided to think about it thoroughly this time than giving out an immediate 'No' response.

She quickly left the staff room and stood in some corner at the hall.

Erisviel was staring at the envelope on her hand.

She actually in truth, was very interested in the elite program but because of her past experience being too smart for her own good and douchebag friends who took advantage of her naivety and her meek-shy personality, she didn't want to join the elite program fearing of being bullied in the past.

But now, things are different.

She clutched her hair and took a deep breath, sighing she muttered groaning a bit in vexation.

"Argh! I need to talk to mum about this."

Erisviel thought full-scholarship is actually good for her as she is from an average middle-class background.

Carson is a school for the talented, rich and prestigious people.

The only reason she got accepted into Carson is because of her father.

Her father a government official actually took some bribes in order for her to be accepted into Carson Quinton de'ville highschool.

Erisviel doesn't approve of her father's actions but she understands her father well.

Their daughter is a genius, a talented individual, for her growth she needs the best education as possible.

They can't let her talents and genius abilities go to waste, just because they cant provide her with the best education and resources possible to nurture the growth of her talents and abilities.

Thinking about what her parents sacrificed everything for her so far, Erisviel sighed massaging her forehead.

"At least, with the scholarship, they dont have to worry about my education anymore. Haaaah!" She muttered before she started to walk towards the stairs to go to the rooftop.

~~~

Ian was leaning on the rails drinking coke from a can in the rooftop.

Watching people from above, walking and playing around with their friends, couples making out in some corners, girls giving out chocolates to boys and boys giving roses and chocolates to girls. He saw some confessions being rejected and accepted, hell he even saw a couple having sex in an empty classroom for gahd sake! And it was a teacher and a student!!!

"F**k!!! Lucky Bas**rd, tsk!" Ian cursed, then sighed watching myriads of things happening at school.

"Only you're here? Where are the others?" Ian heard a familiar voice from behind. He turned around and saw Erisviel standing there with a frown on her face.

"Look, Aaron is being confessed by another girl. It's the 63rd person now, I've been counting for an hour. I didn't know how many times Aaron was confessed to, so I sent him a message to know the number then started tallying up." Ian shrugged and pointed at Aaron who was being confessed once again by another girl in the fountain area.

Erisveil stood beside Ian and saw Aaron who was waving his hands and talking to the person who confessed to him.

A moment later, the girl who confessed to Aaron ran away from him holding a handkerchief over her eyes. Seems like a certain someone broke another maiden's heart.

Tsk!

Erisviel clicked her tongue and looked down noticing a few cans of coke, paper buckets full of popcorns and bags of chips at the ground.

She took a can of coke, opened it up and took a sip before saying.

"So there's, Aaron. Where are the others then?"

Ian pointed towards another corner near a building.

Erisviel looked at the area pointed by Ian and saw the same thing that happened before with Aaron but this time the gender roles were reversed.

Nyx was politely declining the confession from the looks of it, unlike Aaron who was clearly acting flustered and playing around for free chocolates.

Similar to what happened with the girl with Aaron, in Nyx's case the boy turned around walked in a way which seemed like he was walking towards his death or something.

Bruh!

For real though, dont do anything stupid. Erisviel said in her mind.

"Ahah!" Ian shouted suddenly thinking of something.

Ian took out his phone and opened up his playlist.

Finding the song he was looking for he tapped on it and put it on speaker disconnecting his Bluetooth earphones.

Erisviel who was watching Ian fiddling with his phone was puzzled by Ian's actions but she soon found out why Ian shouted before.

She guessed it right, It was something really stupid.

Familiar and popular opening beats of drums of a song started playing out from the phone.

Ian was bobbing his head in the rhythm of the beats of the drum.

Then he started singing along with the song on the phone.

**Oh, let's go

Steve walks warily down the street

With the brim pulled way down low

Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,

Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?

Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?

Out of the doorway, the bullets rip

To the sound of the beat**

**Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust

And another one gone, and another one gone

Another one bites the dust

Hey, I'm gonna get you, too

Another one bites the dust**

Erisviel facepalmed herself, watching the idiot Ian.

With her hand across her face, she muttered.

"Fool!!!"

Shaking her head, Erisviel can't help but sing along with the fool with a smile plastered on her face.

**Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust

And another one gone, and another one gone

Another one bites the dust

Hey, I'm gonna get you, too

Another one bites the dust**
