Unknown Messenger (Chapter 8)

Klint's Point of View

I felt the sunlight on my skin.

"Young master, young master, your dad is looking for you downstairs." While knocking on my door,

"A minute please." I close my eyes and I drop myself into my bed to lie down.

"Klint's dad is looking for you." Wait is that Kyst? My twin brother.

"Wait, bro." I sit in my bed and check my eyes.

I go to my bathroom. While I was showering, Mizuki's face suddenly popped up in my mind.

"How was she asleep last night?"

I turn off my shower and grab my towel. I wrap it around my waist. And get out of my bathroom.

"Young master, Sir Gray is already here. Your dad is waiting on you down stairs. "

"Okay, Nanny Martha."

I wear my boxers and school pants. I get my long sleeves and my suit and fix my hair.

I got out of my room and went downstairs.

"Hey, Kyst. When did you get home? I mistook you for still being in Europe. "

"Well, I just got back last night. By the way, Dad and I decided that I would be a transfer to our school." He got up, walked over to my side, and tapped my shoulder.

"That sounds great. You will see Mizuki Stanford. "

"I already know her. We met again last time in Europe. When I was in Italy, She's my ex-girlfriend. "

Me and Gray's eyes widen.

"Seriously?" I said.

"Yup. I want to win her back. I heard you'll be partners with the incoming Mr. and Ms. English. And you guys already practice. Are you guys already close?"

"Nope, we just talk when we need to." I'm sorry. I felt an ache in my chest.

"So, Klint, I hear you will participate in the pageant. And Akisha told me she wanted you to be her partner, but you insisted on being the partner of Mizuki. "

"I know that, but to think of it, Akisha was with you since you were kids. I don't want to hear again that you went to Mizuki's side instead of Akisha's. You may leave now. " 

I get my keys.

"Seriously, bro, your brother is the ex of your president. What a world. " Gray said, while laughing.

"I don't know either."

"Klint, wait, can I come with you guys?" Kyst said, while running toward our direction.

"Of course. I can drive you if you want. " I smiled at him.

"No need, dad bought me a Volkswagen Beetle earlier." He got into his car.

"Your dad really spoiled your twin brother more than you." Gray enters in his car.

"I don't care." I enter my car and drive.

While I was driving, I saw Mizuki in the pastry house.

I honked at her.

"Hey, good morning, Ms. President." I winked at her.

"What's good in the morning if I see you?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Well, in the early morning, my face is the first thing you can see.

Suddenly, a gray car stopped behind my car and honked. 

"Hi, pres." Gray said.

"Good morning, Gray." She smiled at Gray. Really, with Gray, it's easy for her to do nicely.

I drove fast to get out of the pastry house. I enter the academy.

I get out of my car. Every eye is on me.

"I knew it." Gray suddenly pops up on my side.

"What?"

"Secret, I just noticed something that you didn't notice at all." He laughed and grabbed his bag and got out.

I put on my shades and grabbed my bag. While walking down the hallway, all the students yelled.

"Look, how awesome this day is. It's Kyst and Klint. " A girl shouts.

"Marry me, Klint."

"Fuck me Kyst."

"Fuck me, Klint!"

"I love you, Kyst!"

"I love you, Klint!" 

Those are the students shouting about us.

When we enter a room, all eyes are on us. Sakiya, Shawn, and Sky looked shocked when they saw Kyst.

So it's true? Kyst and Mizuki were really a couple before.

"Hey, Shawn and Sky, it's been a while." Kyst said, and they fist bumped.

"Hey, what are you doing here, Kyst?" Shawn said.

Oh, I went here to study. We own this academy. I'm Klint's twin brother, younger by a minute. "

"Oh really," Sky said, his face tense.

"Shawn Sky," Mizuki said while breathless at the door.

"Mizuki?" Kyst said.

"Kyst?"

"Hey, Mizuki!" Look, he went here for you. " Sakiya said

"I don't care. Shawn Sky, look what I got a message. " I went into her. I saw her phone receive a message.

Message:

A fall down, never this quick. Rest till you can. Run till you are out of breath. I will chase you no matter what. 

She looked at us. 

Is that the only message you got? " I said.

"Yes it is, but I received some gifts too in my locker."

"What kind of gift?"

"She received dead rats and a bloody no-head doll." Shawn said.

Suddenly, a text message arrived again.

Message:

Hide little mouse, a cat can catch you. Through a small concealed hole, the secret will be revealed.

We all look around us. But nothing suspicious. I look at Sakiya. But she looked bothered.

"Since when did it start?" Kyst said.

"Klint, can we talk?" Mizuki said, and grabbed my hand.

"Sure." We went out of our room and went near the stairs.

"Can you help me find who it is?" I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I know we are not in good times, but you are the only person that comes to my mind that can help me. " She's looking down.

It's okay. I told you I would protect you, my president. " She hugged me tight.

"Thank you, Klint." She went back into the room while I was still in shock when she hugged me.

I went back to the classroom.

"What did Mizuki say?" Gray and Kyst said.

"Nothing, she just asked for help."

"Why didn't she ask me instead?" Kyst said and looked at Mizuki.

"I don't know. You are the ex-boyfriend, so you should know why she didn't bother to ask for your help instead."

I sit in my chair and look at Mizuki. She turned around and smiled at me.

"Good day, class." Mr. Perez enters the classroom.

"Oh, my favorite student, Kyst Nicklaus. Welcome back, young master."

Mr. Perez said and bowed his head to Kyst. What a phony he is.

"Okay, class, open your Ipad. And look for my presentation. "

"So who knows about the founder of Walt Disney?"

Sakiya raises her hand.

"Walter Elias Disney."

"Excellent!"

It's so boring. I sleep in my armchair.

"Klint, wake up." I felt someone shaking my body.

"What?" I said and turned my head. 

"Mr. Perez is looking at you. He was done teaching. "Mizuki said

"Don't bother him; he's not qualified to be a professor. It's not attentive to be in his class. He just wanted to teach what he liked, but he asked in the examination what he hadn't tackled all along. "

"I know, a text message arrived when we were in class." Mizuki showed me her phone.

Message: 

Eha, yvggyr xvggl. Uvqr va gur pybfrg. Pna xrrc lbhe frperg uvqqra. Abguvat jnf punatrq. Lbh bja zr.

It's rot13 code.

"It was a type of code." Use this to hide the meaning of the text. It was the rot13 code. It said. " "Run, little kitty. Hide in the closet. You can keep your secret hidden. Nothing was changed. You own me. "

She looked really nervous.

"With whom did you own something, Mizuki?"

"I don't know." 

Someone knocked on the door.

"Good morning, may I know who is the class president and vice president?" Ms. Sanchez is looking for them for a meeting. on the first floor, Room 2D-11. Thank you. " Then the student left.

"Let's go, my president." They all yelled and shouted when I offered my hand to Mizuki.

while walking in the hallway. Everyone looked shocked. I saw Mizuki's head down while walking. I was still holding her hand.

When we reach the first floor, I knock on the door.

"Good Morning, Ms. Sanchez." May we come in? " 

"Sure." When we walk into the classroom, Mizuki removed my hand.

We sat in the first row.

My phone suddenly vibrates.

A Message from Akisha:

Do you really care about her? How about your image of your dad? You are already on social media. Klint, are you out of your mind while holding her hand? You never did that to me. But with her, is it okay to hold her hand in public?

"Hey, are you okay?" I said to Mizuki, still in silence.

"Yeah, can you hold my phone?" My passcode was zero four zero zero. " She put her phone in my hand.

"Why? Is that person still messaging you? "

She just nodded at me.

I put her phone in my pocket.

"Okay, so is everyone here already?"

"Yes, Miss." We said in choir.

"I called you guys to know if each class already had a representative for Mr. and Ms. English. You know that it will be next month. So I discussed it with Mr. Chairman. We will have it on Friday night in the Nightfall hotel. What do I want from you guys? is to help with the event. I will grade you according to your year level. So in that case, you can easily communicate with each other. Is there any question? "

I raised my hand.

"How about those who don't want to participate?"

"Why, Mr. Nicklaus, don't you want to participate in the event preparation?"

"Well, me and Ms. Stanford will be participating in the event as candidates. So we do have any time to cooperate with the preparation. "

"Okay, who else is participating in Mr. and Ms. English as representatives?"

No one raised their hand.

"So, Mr. Nicklaus and Ms. Stanford, you guys can be exempted in preparation. But you may still help us if you guys don't have any practice. "

Mizuki's phone vibrates in my pocket continuously.

"Sure, Ms. Sanchez."

"For the preparation. Each grade level may gather some help from your classmates. So we can easily do it. The event theme will be Myth Gods and Goddesses. We also have a character cosplay. So, please look for the representative that you guys have. I have a fish bowl here. It represented all of the mythological gods and goddesses. However, we added some mythical creatures that are not identified as gods or goddesses. All right, class president, please go in the front and grab a piece of paper. "

Mizuki went in front and picked up a paper.

"Medusa miss." She sat back beside me.

"Okay, so this is the list of each class and what myth God and Goddess and creatures your class will represent."

"That's all for today. You may go back to your class. " Ms. Sanchez said.

I check Mizuki's phone while holding her hand.

Messages from an unknown number:

- Having fun. Good luck hiding till you can.

- I saw you smiling. Nothing changed.

- Hide your identity until you can. But your secret smells like a dead rat. It exploded.

"Do you want to have some snacks?"

"Nope, let's just go back in class." I want this day to get done.

"Can I come to your condo later?" 

"Sure, no problem. But can you hold my phone for a while? I don't want to read those messages.

"Yeah sure, no problem."

I messed up her hair. She smiled at me.

"Klint." We turned around and saw Kyst standing.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" It's Ms. Aguncillo's time, right? "

"Yup, but she was not attending her class." She got fever. "

"Oh, I see. Uhm, we will be back in the classroom. "

He nodded at me. We are back in our classroom.

We went in front.

"We have news about the event. We will be having a character cosplay. And we got Medusa. So now we are voting for who will be portrayed. " Mizuki said.

Gray raises his hand. 

"Yes, Gray."

"I nominate Ms. Akisha Montemayor as Medusa." Everyone laughed at Gray's suggestion.

"No! I'm not going to portray Medusa; I am Venus! "

Akisha stomped her feet.

"Who wants to nominate another?" I said.

Shawn stood up.

"I nominate Sakiya as Medusa." Shawn, Sky, and Mizuki chuckle.

"I second the motion," Sky said.

"Okay, so who else?"

"I nominate Thea as Medusa," Echo said.

"Okay, so the voting line is now open." Mizuki said.

"Who votes for Akisha as Medusa?" 

Kyst entered the room.

"What's happening?" Kyst said.

"Voting for the representative in character cosplay. We got Medusa bro. " 

"Oh, okay." He sat in his chair.

"Okay, again, who votes for Akisha as Medusa?" I saw Kyst trying to hide his laugh.

"Whooo!" All my classmates yelled.

I count all the votes of Akisha.

"Eighteen votes for Akisha," I said.

"Who votes for Sakiya as Medusa?" Mizuki said.

We both raised our hands.

I count the votes.

"Seven votes for Sakiya. So the rest of the seven votes will be for Thea. But, just to be clear, who votes for Thea? "

I count the votes for Thea.

"Seven pres."

"Okay, so our Medusa will be Akisha." Mizuki said that makes Akisha roll her eyes.

"Please Akisha, be our Medusa. We know you can win it. " I said.

"Fine, but with one condition. You guys made my costume. No one will be against it or exempted. Right, miss president? " She looks at Mizuki.

"Of course, we will help you. You are our Medusa, right? "

"Yeah, what ever." 

"Okay, so we will start the preparations by tomorrow. We will buy all the necessities today. We have funds, right Blessie? " I said.

"Yup, we had ten thousand in the funds."

"Okay, so we will buy all the needed materials today. Is it okay with you, Akisha, if we paint your skin so it looks more natural? Don't worry, it's washable. " Mizuki said.

"It's okay to do what you want."

"That's great. So that's all I think. " Mizuki said, and looked at me.

"Yup, that's all."

"What time is it?" Mizuki said.

I grab her phone from my pocket.

"It's already three in the afternoon." I said.

"Wait, is that Mizuki's phone?" Shun said.

We look at each other.

"Yes?" I said.

"Are you guys in a relationship?" Ruby said.
