"The Predicament of Oblivion"

Chapter 2

Behind Her Mask

"Sometimes, you have to put walls

just to know who are those people

who are willing to break down those

walls just to be with you …"

Yuu released her. The invention prodigy shot her gun.

Everyone closed their eyes. They feel pity for the new girl. But when the smoke created by the explosion was cleared, they were surprised to see that large vines shielded the new student.

"This girl got a powerful alice. I got to look over her." Natsume thought upon seeing the sight of the large vines.

"Whoah! What's that?!" Koko suddenly blurted out of shock.

"Maybe that's how her Alice works." Anna spoke up weakly.

She was really thankful that nothing happened to the new girl. The newbie may be cold and kinda haughty but still she's a new student. They still have to know her very well.

"So you used your vines to protect yourself? Good work newbie!" Hotaru complimented the new student.

"Is this how you welcome a new student?" the pink-haired lass asked. That raven-haired girl was trying her temper. She summoned her vines to return from the grounds.

The floorings of the room cracked and in entered the vines. After all the vines had entered, the cracked floorings closed as if nothing happened.

Everyone was awed by the newbie's alice. Surely, what they had witnessed was just a part of her alice.

"Maybe…" Hotaru replied informally then turned her back. "This girl got a powerful alice. She also got bad temper...hehehe…I got a new subject." She chuckled to herself.

"Ahhm…Haruka-san. Koko said that you didn't know your star ranking. How is it possible? Aren't you from the England Campus?" Yuu tried to ask the lass to calm her down.

"I'm not from the England campus. It's my first time to enter a school." she replied briefly.

Everyone was surprised by her reply. So they listened to the conversation.

"So you mean to say, you also don't know in which group your alice belong?"

"Yah."

"Where did you study and train your alice?"

"At home."

"Huh?" Yuu blurted in surprise.

"Why? Don't you believe me?" she asked. Her brow started to twitch.

"I believe you Haruka-san…but…who trained you?" Yuu sweat dropped upon seeing the twitching of the newbie's brow.

"I got my own mentors. Anymore questions?"

"None."

"Okay then scram."

Yuu walked away. He wouldn't want to face a girl like her.

"Haruka-san must be very tired right now." he thought.

They were dumbstruck by Haruka's attitude. A sound brought them back to their senses.

"Yehey! End of classes!" everyone cheered. Who will not love the dismissal of classes? It's the most awaited time of each student. Well not to mention the Alice Festival and other programs of course.

Everyone started to stand up from their seats. Haruka quietly stood off.

"Hey! Don't be too haughty, girly!" a cold voice caught her attention.

"Don't tell that to me. Why? Don't you consider yourself as haughty?" she smirked at him.

"Nope." He returned her smirk.

Haruka turned her back and started walking off the room.

The gang was about to go when Natsume called up to Koko.

"Koko!" Natsume called the mind reader in his mind.

Koko looked at him and started to approach him.

"Don't look and don't approach me." He said further.

"I want you to always read her mind…You know…Read Haruka's mind…And always update me of her thoughts. Okay?"

Koko was surprised upon hearing Natsume call the newbie by her name and his request shocked him the most.

"What is Natsume up into?" he thought. But instead of answering him back, he just gave him a nod.

The gang continued walking to the dorm. They still have to change clothes. They don't wanna smell like sweat.

Haruka walked through the hallways. She wasn't familiar with the school premises yet. She didn't know if it's a good thing that no one was there to see her get lost around the campus. Everyone ran fast to change clothes. They don't wanna stand up while eating.

"Why did I push them away from me? They were trying to be friendly. Now I have to suffer from getting lost. Damn it! I don't even know where my room is." She cursed in her mind.

She just kept on walking until her path crossed with her personal driver, Mr. Kimura.

"Miss Haruka. How's your day?" a gentle voice came out of the man's mouth.

"Not good…Let's go now. You still have to show me my room and I'm really hungry right now. " she shrugged off.

"Okay Miss Haruka… " he simply replied and started walking.

Haruka quietly followed him. He led her towards the school dorm. They walked upstairs and stopped infront of a certain room.

"This will be your room Miss Haruka." He took out a key from his pocket and started opening the door.

When the door had opened, Haruka walked inside her new room and started scanning.

Her room was for a special star student. The walls had two colors. The upper half was painted white and the lower half was covered with a light pink wall paper designed with one of the flower that she held close to her heart. Her eyes shifted to the complete furniture and appliances inside her room.

"Kono heya wa amari hiroki nai desu. (This room isn't spacious enough.)" She blurted just when she was done with the scanning.

Mr. Kimura didn't make a reply. He knows that she's telling the truth. The mansion in London was really big. And the special star room was just half of her room.

"Are you hungry right now, Miss Haruka?" he asked politely.

"What's up for dinner?"

"Roast chicken, well-cooked rice, lemon juice and fruits." He replied as he led her towards the round dining table.

She comfortably took a seat and waited for him to serve her dinner.

"Here. Have a nice meal Miss Haruka. Motto omochi shimasho? (Shall I bring more?)"

"Iie."

"Okay then Miss Haruka." He replied then stepped back.

"Wait, I want some dessert."

"What is it Miss Haruka?"

"I want a piece of cheese cake for my dessert."

"Okay L-la…" he was cut off by the girl.

"Kimura…what did I tell you?!" she asked in disgust.

"Don't call you in that name anymore…"

"Good…now scram…go back to England…"
