Quick summary: Elena Rosa Alvarado headed out to town with the group after the movie night. On Monday she was running late to class, and ended up crashing into Matthew. She finally found out that the pencil was from him. And during lunch she participated in the nation ball game. Heading to class with Feliciano, she asks him where a phone can be found in which he responds the school doesn't has one. By the way, I didn't make it clear on their human names last time:
Bella= Belgium
Mei= Taiwan
Li Xao= Hong Kong
Natasha= Belarus
And thanks for the reviews :)
On the Eastern Side of the Hemisphere
Ch.8: Unofficial Club Meeting
The bell rang, signaling the end of classes for the day. I picked up my books and weaved my way through the crowded hall. I spotted Mei and was about to greet her when I got pulled away.
"Come Elena. Our club is in session today!" Feliciano hurriedly pulled me through the crowded hallway.
"I thought it didn't started until next week. That's what the announcements said." I was confused. Unless I heard the announcements wrong.
"Ve~ That's right. Just look at this as the unofficial club meeting."
We stopped in front of the french doors. As Feliciano knocked, I looked around. Nothing looked familiar to me. It must be one of the buildings I haven't had a chance to explore yet. The hallway was very long and marble pattern, sunlight trickled through the french windows, and there were chandeliers in the ceiling.
There was finally an answer from the other side of the door. "Who is it?"
Feliciano threw his arms up in the air and shouted, "Pasta!"
"Pasta?" Why did he say pasta? Was he hungry?
The doors opened and as we walked in, Feliciano said it was the secret password. Ludwig overheard and said there were no secret passwords for entrance. In which Feliciano responded that there should be a password since it makes it more interesting.
Ludwig sighed, "Well, if there is ever one, I hope you choose a more secure password."
"But I love pasta... why can't the secret password be pasta?"
"Here Feliciano, have some." Kiku handed him some candy and he brightened up again. "You too Elena." I took some and thanked him. The candy was really good.
Ludwig cleared his throat, "Alright everyone. Take a seat."
"And that is the end of today's meeting. Any questions?" Ludwig looked around the room.
Since no one had any further questions, we were allowed to leave. Feliciano wanted all of us to head to the cafeteria in order to try out the new menu. But it wasn't possible since each had something else to do. So he went to hang out with his brother, and I decided to further explore the campus.
I stopped when I heard music. It sounded like someone was playing the piano. But where was it coming from? It appeared to be coming from the second floor. I climbed the tree as carefully as I could, and sat on the branch closest to the window. Inside the room there were many pianos. The music started again. I finally spotted a boy playing the piano closest to the door. But I couldn't see him cleary because his back was to me.
The melody sounded so lovely and tender. And without realizing I started singing to it. I panicked when he stopped playing the piano, and I tried my best to hide deeper into the branches as he started looking around. Then his gaze turned directly at me. I gasped; it's like he could see right through the branches! He started walking towards my direction when a knock came at the door and he left the room.
I sighed in relief. That was too close. I wouldn't want him to think I was spying at him. I grabbed another branch to lower myself, but it broke off. As I fell I could hear the wind rushing past me. Then I hit the ground. But it wasn't hard at all, and it felt warm.
"M-mapple?"
I quickly got up. "I'm sorry! Are you okay Matthew!?" I helped him get up.
"Yes." He fixed his glasses. "You have...some leaves on your hair."
"Oh." I started pulling off the leaves. How emberrasing; my hair was problaby messy too. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Of course. I should be asking you that. I should get going... my brother will be arriving by Friday... even though he might be
late...and food, yes the food... there's so much to prepare...bye Elena!" He ran off quickly.
