chapter 4: Secrets
Stella's... you know?
"So, I guess we'll wait for... 7 minutes? I finally get to see your faces." Tristan said as he smirked. He then sat on the grassy ground. I've decided that I will just sit too. Then after that, everyone did so. "Oh! I have something in mind! Let's get to know eachother!" Rhys suddenly yelled.
Me:...
Everyone:...
"Idiot. We have been together for 2 years." Tristan butted in. Lol. "But we don't actually know eachother that much, right? Especially now that we'll get to see eachother's faces." Rhys defended as he pouted. If I'm not as nervous as I am at the mean time, I could've agreed already. But it's just that I'm not in the mood. "I think it's a good idea. You start first, Tristan." Nathaniel said as all of us stared at Tristan.
"H-huh? Why me?" He complained as he started whining like a child. Oh, just a reminder. Our levels are still the same. I'm glad that we didn't get to start over again because, that would be absolutely troublesome. Nathaniel gave him a menacing glare, making him give up. "ugh. Fine. What do I say then?" Tristan asked as he rested his chin on his palm. "Anything about yourself. Hmm, 5 facts about you. The same rule will be applied to all of us." Rhys replied. Just what is he so pumped up about?
Tristan just rolled his eyes and murmured something that we can't hear. "First off, full name is Tristan Wagner. I actually have black hair, I despise the smell of onions, I like sleeping, and I am 17 years old (team Nathaniel: we know that!)" He ended. What an interesting answer. Haha XD. Then, we looked at his right side. Rhys, to be exact.
"I'm next? Okay. My real name is Rhys Burke. I like playing games, I am actually the top student in my class (Team Nathaniel: seriously?!), I dislike carrots, annnddd... I like pranking people." He stopped then stood up, then bowed, then sat down again. I can't believe that he's actually the top student. Woah. That was unexpected of him. I never expected that the said 'idiot' is actually smart. I mean, he's my closest friend here but he just won't tell me anything about himself! Then our gazes landed on Neal.
First, he cleared his throat. "Neal Jace Forbes. I am actually quite popular in our school considering the fact that I work as a model. I. Despise. Cockroaches. Like I said, I'm an otaku like senpai here *points at Stella*, I like to draw a lot, I like singing, I like dancing, and also... I love pranking people." He said as he and Rhys high-fived. Jerk. Even involving me with his statement. But I have a feeling that there's something else about his name. "But those are more than five!" I said. "My bad" Neal replied.
"Ah, also, is that why you love to steal my kills?" I muttered to myself. Nathaniel seems to shiver beside me. And then he's next.
"I'm Nathaniel Melbourne, I don't like people who are annoying, I like quiet places, I like to read, and I have a younger sister." He said. It must be really hard for him. Not seeing his sister, I mean. So that is why he looks so down earlier. Thanks to Rhys. He gave him determination to escape this game.
And before I know it, they are already looking at me. I gulped for three times before speaking. "boss, how many minutes left?" I asked. "Oh, just 2 minutes left. Go on." He replied. I sighed before speaking again.
"I have a part-time at a certain cafe, I don't have parents anymore, I was adopted by my aunt, I'm also an otaku, and... the last one, umm. You'll discover it yourself." I said as I did a peace sign. "Aww what a bummer." As if on cue, we started glowing. W-what's happening?! "Calm down, guys. Maybe we're just transforming." Nathaniel said. Now, everything is glowing. The players, the surroundings--- everything.
We just glowed for like a minute. Argh I can't take this anymore! I'm outta here! I stood up and was about to run away but was stopped by Nathaniel. Good thing the guys are facing my back and my clothes are still the same. Um, I wear a boy's clothes, actually. I looked down, and noticed my usual body and hair. The same long, brown hair. "Adrian you're--" Nathaniel began to spoke. Sh*t have he noticed already?! Then a somewhat awkward atmosphere came in the scene.
"A GIRL?!" The four of them yelled. I turned my direction to them and bowed very very lowly. "I am deeply, sincerely, very sorry. Please forgive me I-I can explain." I said. "Why?" Nathaniel said beside me. I looked at him teary-eyed and began to explain everything to them.
"Why the hell are you crying?!" Tristan asked. "Wait. Y-you guys aren't angry?" I asked them. "Why would we become angry? We were just disappointed that you lied but it doesn't mean that we will kick you out of the team already." Nathaniel said.
I'm about to cry more, seriously. I'm so thankful that they won't kick me out of the team. "Thank you very much!" I yelled. I looked at Rhys' direction. He then looks away. I began to worry.
No! Not Rhys! He's my closest friend here! Then I looked over at Neal and he also looked away. THEY SAID THEY AREN'T ANGRY BUT WHY ARE THEY LIKE THAT?! "Don't mind them, Adrian. They're probably just shocked." Tristan whispered. "Is that so? Then why aren't you shocked?" I asked. "Eh? Me? Shocked? I've always considered you as a girl before. Heh. My instincts will never be wrong." He replied and I just gave him a 'tch'.
"Umm, boss, I'm really sorry for this." I apologized once again. "I said it's fine, right?" He replied and I looked down. "But you said to me before that you don't want a girl teammate." I said and fiddled with my fingers. "Girls are annoying but you're an exception, considering the fact that you have been acting like a real boy and you're... not as annoying as them, so, yeah." He replied as he looked away and scratched the back of his head.
HOW SWEET OF OUR LEADER! I just laughed. I'm seriously happy that they are not that angry... but Rhys and Neal? Seriously? They are the most cheerful in our group! T.T
But... do I need to change my clothes or what?
Nevermind that. I shouldn't take this lightly. I'm SO guilty.
-'----'---'--
