"What's with that creepy smile?"
Rebel furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Enzo as he entered the room with an amused smile plastered on his face. We were staring at him weirdly as we all shared a confused look all over our faces.
"I just saw Tetiana in the library."
Enzo replied as he took a seat next to me. "Huh? What is she doing there?" Kyran asks as curiosity took over him. Although he says that he doesn't want to talk about Tetiana-related topics, he can't help but feel curious because Tetiana and the library are a rare combination, or worse, something that will never happen. I wonder about that too. What the heck is she even doing there?
"Why are you smiling then? That's suspicious."
Chester joked as he teased Enzo about it. Enzo just laughed it off and told us about what he saw Tetiana doing in the library. I don't want to admit it, but I really was curious.
"Well, she was sleeping. And I peeked at what she wrote... it's about the rankings. Although she didn't write about Anathema. I'm sure she's trying to learn about... here?"
Enzo replied, as he also took an apple and began munching on it. After hearing that, I can't help but feel even more confused. Just why? What made Tetiana to become like that? Just what happened to her in The Norm? Everything remains a mystery. I really hate this side of me, where I can't help but feel curious about it, not until I learn what happened.
"That's really suspicious... and she even told the great Aiden to back off, Wow, that is a funny sight."
Rebel sneered as he laughed, remembering Aiden's raged face. It was truly a sight, honestly. Chester grumbled, saying it's a shame he didn't get to see it; perhaps another time? since I am sure that this kind of situation will happen again.
"He looked like he wanted to murder everyone."
Kyran snickers as he also recalls that moment. Well, he did have a point. I decided to just stay silent, listening to their conversation, thinking. I wonder why Tetiana is acting like that. I mean, oh god. This is making me lose my mind indeed. For some unknown reason, thinking about her makes me pissed.
"She'll try to find Midge Hall tomorrow, since I wrote that all the information she needed might be there. Might as well see if she's really trying to find out about this place or not."
Enzo added as he suggests that we all look for Tetiana at the Midge Hall tomorrow, and this got me wondering. Why would we even bother doing that? But still, why wouldn't we want to? "Ugh, I hate the fact that we're talking about her, but I'm also curious." Kyran sighs but still agrees to Enzo's plan. "I also want to see the crazy Tetiana." Chester chuckles as he speaks excitedly. Rebel just told them to ignore it, but honestly, he too was curious, but he didn't want to show it.
Strangely, no matter where I go, my eyes always manage to find Tetiana. I mean, what the heck is this? She's everywhere. It's like her presence is haunting me, and I really don't enjoy that, especially that time in the cafeteria. Why the heck is she walking with Yareli now? I swear that those two are mortal enemies, so why did they look so close? huh?
"Wow, that is a weird combo. Am I seeing things or is that really Tetiana and Yareli the Assist?"
Rebel asks me, making sure that I'm also seeing what's happening in front of us is real or not. I seriously thought that I was losing my mind. Everyone in the cafeteria also began whispering and murmuring since Yareli was known for being cold towards people, especially those like Tetiana. But why are they together now? Didn't they hate each other? and what the hell are they doing meeting Gally?
"Why are they meeting her? Isn't she mute?"
I have a lot of questions, as I was drowning in my confusion. Tetiana looks desperate, she was saying something, but I couldn't really hear her since the distance between us is quite far. But one thing is for sure, I can see her clearly. Tetiana's expression, she looked confused, hurt even.
"Just why do you make that kind of face?"
I can't help but wonder as I continue to observe the situation. I can't help it. I mean, everyone is already staring at them too. Why wouldn't I? She seems shocked. I don't know why, but she looks really stunned as Yareli tells her something, I think. Gally, on the other hand, was just like her usual self. Quiet and with that infamous blank expression on her face. Shit, now I'm curious about what they're talking about.
"Hey, Aiden is watching without doing anything... did he also think Tetiana had gone mad?"
Rebel nudges me as he points at Aiden's direction with his pinky, staring at him in curiousity.
"Perhaps. She sure does look... different."
I honestly don't understand why I even bothered saying that. I can't really bring out the words that I wanted to say, and I am so confused about why I can't find the right words to describe Tetiana. I continued looking at them as I noticed Gally giving Tetiana a snack. huh? Wait, it does seem like a sandwich. I don't know but that was really disturbing. Seeing Gally doing that to the person she hated the most doesn't make sense at all. This situation is making me even more confused, but seeing THE Tetiana now, I don't know why I felt distressed.
Somehow, I wanted to see her crying face again. I don't know why, but I wanted to see her crying underneath me. I wanted to see her in pain—WAIT, what the heck?! Something is really wrong with me, and I know it. Why the heck did I even think about such things?
"Just who are you, Tetiana?"
Again, my mind is betraying me.

I was desperately trying to find the Midge Hall, but for some weird reason, I still can't find it despite looking for hours. I badly wanted to ask someone for direction, but everyone seemed to be ignoring me, mocking me from afar. What the hell did Tetiana do to make everyone hate her so much? Oh my goodness. I seriously can't help but feel curious about it. I was about to give up my search until someone approached me, initiating a conversation. Wow, that was a first. Whoever he is, I am truly grateful.
"What are you doing? I've been watching you for a while. Just what are you looking for?"
The guy spoke as I turned to face him. His red eyes were intimidating, and he was also not alone. He is followed by his three friends. They were staring at me in disbelief. What the heck?
"Um. I was looking for the Midge Hall. Do you know which way?"
Standing next to him makes me feel so small, I wondered as I brushed off the dirt on my uniform. They were so tall that it made me scared for a second. I had to look up to them to actually maintain eye contact.
"Oh." The guy responded. Somehow, he was the only one talking to me. I mean, the other three guys are just standing there, judging me with their eyes, which is seriously making me feel uncomfortable, but I didn't dare to say anything.
"Follow me."
The guy smirks as he walks towards a direction I had just gone. huh? Is he playing with me or something? But still, I decided to follow that guy, hoping that he didn't play a joke on me or something, and what was even weirder was when he told his friends to leave as he asked me to follow him. okay? What the heck is he planning? Being alone with this guy is making me scared somehow. I don't know why.
"I've heard that you've lost your memory. Do you really?"
The guy spoke as he glanced at me. I mean, I couldn't really tell him the truth since he wouldn't believe me. But the way he's looking at me, judging me with his eyes, It makes me uncomfortable and gives me goosebumps all over. I don't know why I flinched when he looked at me, but it just felt strange. Why am I even feeling this?
"Yes, It seems so."
I said, hoping that he would stop talking to me. I tried to avoid any eye contact with this guy since his eyes were so intimidating, it scared me. And I was really thankful that he didn't ask me anything after that. God bless him. and I was really surprised when he said that we had arrived at the Midge Hall. It's really confusing since I swear that I have been walking here before, but I still couldn't find the Midge Hall. What the heck? It was so enormous, and one could tell where it was, but what the heck happened to me earlier? I seriously don't understand. It's like something is making me not be able to see it. I don't know. I thanked the guy and started to walk away, but I was surprised when he suddenly grabbed my arm, causing me to flinch since the way he was touching me seriously terrified me.
"It's a pity."
He sighs as his grip suddenly gets stronger. What the heck is wrong with this guy? I winced in pain as I tried to remove his hand from me, but he just stood there, staring at my reaction. No matter how hard I tried, the guy ended up making his grip tighter. His eyes were staring into mine as I couldn't help but feel horrified. I did almost scream at his face since it hurt so badly. I was glad that he finally let go. He is really scaring the shit out of me.
"Oh." The guy suddenly says, as he realises he had been clutching to my hand so hard. He stood there, crossing his arms, and he continued to judge me with his scary eyes. I was really uncomfortable, so I decided to run for my life. I was scared to turn around.
Those eyes terrify me.
