I walked back to my class while thinking about today's incidents.

"Ah! There you are…!" someone from behind smacked me.

"What?" it's her again, Iris.

"I was looking for you all this time," she said as she started walking beside me.

"What did you want to talk about?" I don't want to add on my worries because of her.

"If you want I can promote to 'A' class. Only if you beg me." What is she babbling about? Why would I want to move to the 'A' class? After I was able to know that the culprit might be in my class.

"No, thank you," I politely decline.

"It's alrig-", she looked bewildered, "What?! You don't want to be in the 'A' class?!"

"Yes, you heard me right. Now if you would excuse me I have a class to attend," I tried escaping from her but she held onto my collar and stopped me.

"Really?!"

"Let go of the collar," I said.

"A-and what if I don't?" even though she looked like she was looking down at me but she is scared, her hand is shaking a little bit.

"I said let go," I glared at her a little bit and she let off the collar in an instant.

"Eek!" a crowd was starting to form around us. It must be definitely because of her.

"Listen here, Iris. If you ever want to talk to me again try talking normally to me and not like the way you talk to others with superiority. Also, you said that you can take me to 'A' class why don't you instead come to my class? The next time you repeat this you might regret it," I whispered in her ear. She was petrified.

I dashed out the corridor and took a right turn which lead to the indoor basketball court.

"What's her problem?" I need to make sure I don't meet with her again.

"10 more laps! Come on!" a heard a loud shout from inside the court. I peeked a little to see what was going on.

"N-no more…"

"5 more are left…!" the P.E. teacher was relentlessly shouting at the basketball team. By their looks, they must be exhausted. However, over half of the team was falling behind, with only a few students ahead of the group and not seeming tired at all.

"And… that's all!" The majority of them appeared to be so exhausted that they simply sat on the ground and breathed deeply.

"Have you noticed that Peter never gets tired?"

"Yeah, he always takes the first spot."

Peter is the captain of the basketball team. True, his body is superior to that of the majority of the students. But every time I see his face, I am reminded of an incident that occurred during our first year together. Even after he apologized, I still can't bring myself to forgive him since he is nothing less than a criminal in my eyes.

"Peter do you want to hang out sometime later," a girl asked him.

Let me clear the situation, almost a dozen of female students are standing outside the court calling out Peter's name. Fans may be or they must like him or whatever the case is my opinion of him is definitely not going to go up rather it just went down. But there in between many other female fans I saw a certain familiar face.

Whatever. I couldn't bear to stand there seeing him so I left the court.

"Allen?"

"Who?" I turned around to check who it was. It was Liz.

"Where are you going? You haven't been in any of the classes since the morning," she said to me.

I was busy talking to the Principal that I didn't know how much time have passed.

"Ah, sorry."

"Why are you apologizing to me?" she asked.

"I don't know myself," I replied.

"Allen are sure you are doing okay? You've been looking troubled for the past several days since you returned from a three-week vacation," she looked worried.

"Don't worry I am alright," I said.



Soon school ended.

I used to walk alone even before the incident, and I still do today. But I don't think I had the blazing eyes I have today at the time.

I exited the entrance gate and paced outside.

After I covered some distance I was back to normal walking.

It was yet another peaceful day instead of rain. Yesterday's rain is still in my mind.

"?" I noticed a man walking behind me. How did I notice? Well, a car was parked on the right side of the road and through its rearview mirror, I noticed someone walking just right behind me. Not too close and yet not too far. The distance never changed. Suspicious.

I changed my pace and yet the distance didn't change. It's now confirmed that he is following me. What should I do now?

I ran past the nearest corner on the road and hid behind a truck parked there.

"Where did he go? I was able to hide in time.

"Sir, I lost track of him. What should I do now?" he was on phone. I couldn't hear clearly but I could make out a few things.

"Okay," what will he do now?

He didn't leave and instead started walking forwards. I didn't move. He continued walking and left at the next corner. If I wanted I could just leave but I wanted to know what he wanted with me. I also took the next corner but he was nowhere to be found. He got me good.

That day I didn't meet anyone else and just sat there in my room.

I opened my laptop and tried searching for few things.

"Let's see," I muttered to myself.

-- [HYDRA Association]

[No data found.]

-- [50 students went missing]

[50 students went missing on July 23rd. They vanished from school, leaving no trace. The police have now verified that they were all kidnapped and that they will be found soon. The parents of the missing students are terrified. The entire city is horrified. This occurrence has never been witnessed since it occurred 20 years ago. That day became known as Shady Halloween. The same amount of kids went missing, and the authorities are still looking into the case. If this is connected to that, then those who did it previously have put their gaze once more. The minister is now reassuring the parents of the missing kids...]

I don't want to listen to this more. I shut down the laptop and placed it on my desk.

I held onto a pillow and placed my head against the wall and closed my eyes.

I didn't feel anything at that time but those feeling buried deep down inside are now coming to the surface.

The first thing that popped into my mind is what the heck is going on? What the heck? I might not show it to others but I am getting a little scared now. A secret association is behind me. My past is all blank according to her. The police department is trying to make me take all the blame for something I can't even remember. What happened on that island? Where are the other 43 students? Thinking about this is making my heart race at a tremendous rate.

I am trying my best not to show it to others but if this continues and if these doubts don't get cleared soon I might lose my sanity at this rate.

The footage I saw yesterday was also terrifying. If that video got leaked in public I might end in jail and that would be the end of me.

I am also a high school student so why does keep forgetting that? The principal told me to find the culprit and didn't even tell me the name. I am scared. I squeezed the pillow tightly.

Huh? What happened?

All the anxiety I was feeling is all gone. I was scared just a moment ago but now it's normal. My heartbeat is also normal.

Who am I? What am I? Who am I? What am I…?

I just kept on repeating the same question and slowly fell asleep.



The same thing happened the next day also. That person was still following me. This time he wasn't alone at least 3 more are following me from a different direction.

Since they haven't closed the gap between us I ignored them and dashed towards the school. They were blocked at the entrance by the P.E. teacher.

Classes went by in a blink of an eye.

I went to my paradise but Iris was already there. So, just taking a little peek there I left the place. My paradise is being destroyed.

I really wanted that place because I could at least get away from the glares directed at me.

"Did you really spread the rumor about Allen holding a gun and shooting it at a person?" I heard someone calling my name. It was coming from behind the stairs. I quietly tried hearing them.

I saw two girls and a boy talking.
