Chapter 4

Classes:

Chung: Tactical Trooper
Elsword: Infinity Sword
Raven: Veteran Commander
Rena: Night Watcher

Raven had finished his school work so he was lounging around the room bored. He already filled the dorm with groceries and the dorm was already clean. What else could he do? Not very much.

The room was silent, which was something that felt strange considering that Elsword and Chung would always cram the dorm with vigor, noisy conversation.

Without having anything else to do, Raven laid in his bed and stared at ceiling. He thought about how his first couple of weeks at the school has been. It had been mostly peaceful with the exceptions of a few confessions that ended up in tears and persistent invitations to hang out.

He knew his parents would scold him for being such a hermit, but he was fine with the way things were at the moment. In fact, more than fine. The only problem was that he might be starting to develop feelings towards his roommate. And after Elsword's rant from last night, Raven was sure that he was straight.

'Besides, it's just a tiny crush. Crushes go away after a while. Especially knowing Elsword,' Raven told himself. Either way, there was no way he was going to get involved in a relationship now of all times, 'Remember why you came here in the first place, Raven.'

DING!

Raven glanced at his phone and realized he got a text message from….TheOneAndOnlySexyEls:3. Raven blankly stared at the phone. He tried to remember if he ever asked for Elsword's phone number, but couldn't recall a time when he did. That's when he remembered he never locked his phone, because of his mother always yelling at him for setting a password whenever she snooped through his phone for…whatever motherly reason she had.

Raven opened the text message he received and read:

Halp me! Chung is scary! ε=ε=(っ*´□`)っ

DING!

Elsword quickly sent him a picture of a demonic looking Chung driving in a car. Raven had to admit, just the pictures sent shivers down his spine.

DING!

This time another picture of Chung was sent, but with him smiling and holding the phone himself. Raven noticed that they were in the car and Chung was the one driving. Concerned, he sent:

Don't text and drive at the same time, fools.

Raven smiled despite his concern. He got another message. He was about to open it when he heard someone knock at the door. Who could it be?

He opened the door and was met with the sight of long, green hair that was all too familiar. She smiled at him awkwardly, "Can I come in?"

Raven stood frozen, unable to move due to the shock. She took that as a yes and walked inside, "Wow. It looks really tidy in here, just like your room back at home."

Raven swallowed thickly and didn't say anything. He ignored the sweet scent that wafted as she walked by. She was still the same except that her hair was a little longer. Her eyes were still amazingly beautiful, he noted when her eyes flickered upwards to meet his.

"How have you been?"

"What do you want?" Raven asked when he found his voice again. He was definitely not prepared to see her again, much less talk to her. He didn't want her to stay here for long.

She frowned, "You're straightforward as always, Raven."

"Get to the point," He hoped he wasn't trembling.

She sighed and pulled her hair behind her ear, a habit she still hasn't seemed to break, "I wanted to talk about us."

He shot her a look of disdain, "There is no us, Rena," Her named rolled off his tongue bitterly. Angrily. He couldn't help it when memories were flooding back into him as much as he tried to stop it.

She placed her arms behind her back. Raven couldn't help but be conscious of her every movement. How could he not when he used to be so sensitive to it?

"That's why I want to talk. I miss you Raven," Her soft green eyes looked sad, even regretful. That was the thing. Raven was sure she was bullshitting it. He opened his mouth to say something, but Rena kept going.

"I know I messed up. I just want you back. Ever since you left, nothing's felt the same. I didn't realize it, until no one walked me to class anymore. Until No one walked me home anymore and cuddled with me. Until…no one looked me in the eyes so sincerely and told me that they loved me and I could say it back. So I want us to start over," Rena finished her speech looking at the floor in shame.

A part of Raven wanted to comfort Rena, to hug her and tell her everything was okay, that it was forgiven. That they could start over. But he wouldn't. He came to this school in hopes of forgetting it all, maybe even to start fresh. With a heavy breath he whispered out, "No."

"Raven…" She looked at him pleadingly.

"No," He stated more firmly.

"Raven, I promise I'll be better!" She bit her lips and looked at him.

He chuckled bitterly. This seemed so cliché, like in tv dramas, "I'm done Rena. You think I can forget everything just like that? How you just left me in the most horrible way?" He gritted out, almost as if every word expressed how much pain she put him through.

Rena opened her mouth to say something when Raven's phone dinged! She grabbed his phone and looked through, seeing the picture of Chung.

"So this is why, isn't it?" Rena glared at him.

He looked at the phone and saw the picture of Chung that was sent through Elsword's phone, "NO!" He shuddered at the thought of him and Chung together, "It's just that-"

"It's because of this guy, right? Don't' lie to me, Raven."

Before Raven could get another word out, he heard the door open and saw Elsword and Chung looking more than awkward.

"Umm…Hi?" Elsword coughed out nervously.

Rena blinked before stomping up to Chung angrily, "I won't lose Raven to you," She scowled.

Chung just gaped at her, his eyes almost flying out of its sockets. He couldn't even respond because he was so taken aback.

"I'll give you some time to think everything over, Raven. But I'll be back," Rena glowered at Chung before walking out of the dorm.
