This is a weird chapter, don't know how i made this up back then... *rofl*

************STUDENTS************

It isn’t new for NSA students to be talking about the Matthews twins or their friends, especially their friends. No one ever thought that Hunter and Huntress would make friends on their senior year; they were popular for being sheltered, not wanting any other people’s company. That was how they were known. But since their escape from their shells, the twins had been more approachable and there for more prone to being talked about.

“Finally, the masquerade ball,” a senior girl says excitedly. “And the best thing is, this year Hunter’s coming!”

“And Huntress, don’t forget about her.” a boy says, “not to mention Hunter allowed her to dance with anyone, heaven!”

Another girl says, “Do you think the boys will even notice us regular girls with them their? I mean, have you noticed how much beautiful Iris got? I’ve known her my whole life, and she has always been beautiful that was why Ivan was messing with her, she turned her down. But lately? She’s radiating some kind of beauty like she was a mythical being or something. All of them are.”

“Well, if you are as perfect as they are you must be some mystical being aren’t you?” another girls adds, “But I do agree, I asked Iris if she was using some kind of beauty regiment and she just laughed it off, saying I was being silly.”

“I know, I asked Lei and Taea the same question but they just told me the normal regimens that we can buy at the academy’s grocery.”

“I don’t care what they’re using, but it sure is damn working.” Another boy said, “I just would like to dance with all of them if I could.”

“That is if you guess who is who.” A girl points out.

“Well, that’s your case too isn’t it?” the first boy asked.

“I’m not expecting too much, though.” A third girl says, “Knowing them? They already have some plan to dance with each other. Probably exchange partners.”

“Still,” a boy shrugs, “it won’t be bad to plan for it.”

“Oh, hey look.” A girl points toward Huntress and Lee outside the dormitory, “Its Huntress and Lee.”

They watched as Lee reached for Huntress’ face running his finger through her blushing cheek. Then Huntress starts to talk.

“I wonder what they’re talking about.” A boy says.

“You think she’s turning him down?”

Then they were all surprised when they saw Huntress gave Lee a kiss.

“Does that look like a turn down?” a girl asked.

They saw how Lee pulled Huntress back and hugged her, how Huntress snuggled under his arms then later on pushed him away. They watched her as she walk toward the door and then doubled back, and exchanged last words; the Huntress gave a witty remark that made Lee laugh. Then she entered the dorm. Lee stood their still looking up at the door then he turned around he stood their staring for a few seconds.

“Is Huntress still by the door? I think he’s saying something.”

“No, Huntress is already inside.”

Then Lee turned around and left. Then they all looked up at the building, and then saw Huntress pass through one of the windows.

“They’re movements are almost synchronized.”

“So does that mean the L.A.’s pretty face and Huntress is dating?”

“I guess…” one girl said, still surprised, “they do look good, don’t they?

“Hey, here comes Iris and Hunter.” the first boys said.

“Now that’s a couple that I am sure of.” The senior girl said. “Hunter came over the castle early today to visit Huntress and his girlfriend.”

“For real?” one of the boys asked, “Hunter’s with Iris now?”

“Well, yeah, she is Huntress’ best friend, right?”

“Exactly, isn’t their some kind of rule in that?”

“What are you saying?” the girl asked, “Hunter likes Iris, Iris like Hunter, Huntress can’t do anything about it.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” the senior boy says again, “its not that she can’t do anything about it, it’s more of she didn’t want to do anything about it because she saw Hunter was happy.”

They all looked at him, the senior girl grinned, “We heard them arguing at the castle. Well, it’s more of Huntress telling Hunter off. And that’s what she said, she was happy for him, despite the fact that she was really jealous at first.”

Then they Hunter dropped Iris right outside the door of the dorm; then he leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Opened the door for Iris and closed it when she was inside. Then he stood at the top of the stairs and sighed and left.

“Oh wow, the twins are actually with someone. Who would have known?” The junior girl said.

“I wonder if the others-“ the girl looked back and stopped, “Ok, don’t bother answering that.”

They all looked back at the dorm and saw Rui and Lei, they were laughing and talking, Rui reached for Lei’s hand as they walked down the path toward the dorm, Lei then gave a full hearted laugh.

“Now there’s a perfect couple.” The junior boy said.

“Yeah, I know what you mean; I can’t even feel bad that those three girls are taken.” The senior guy said, and then the senior hits him on the nape. “What? oh, you know what I mean.”

“I must agree with him big sister, normally we should feel bad, I mean you’ve been ogling Hunter for years haven’t you? But I don’t see any hard feelings.”

“You’ve been ogling Hunter?” the senior boy snapped.

“Well you’ve been checking out Huntress, besides, Iris and I are friends, she deserves someone like Hunter and I couldn’t be happier for her.”

Then they look back and saw Rui pulling Lei’s hand toward him and kissed it. Lei blush and then entered the dorm. Then Rui left, whistling.

“Great, there’s only-“

“Oh, hey, here come Taea and Mave!” the sophomore girl said.

Taea and Mave were walking around, talking, then Taea ran forward and faced him, said something that made Mave laugh and reach for her, he put an arm over her shoulder while Taea put one arm around his hips. Then Mave walked her up to the door and opened it for her. Taea stepped forward then Mave leaned and gave her a kiss on the cheek, Taea looked up at him surprise then Mave smiled and playfully pushed her inside. Then he closed the door waited for a few seconds and then left grinning.

“Ok, who’s the L.A girl? The one they’re always with?” the Junior boy asked, exasperated.

“Guillenne? What about her?” the sophomore girl asked. “You can still dance with her.”

The boy shook his head and points behind them, “Not anymore.”

They looked to where he was pointing at, and saw Jed and Guillenne walking toward the dorms as well, then Jed took Guillenne’s hand and twirled her around making her laugh. Then he put his arms around her waist catching her. Guillenne pressed the tip of his nose with her pointy finger. Then they walked toward the dorm, and saw the students standing around near the dorm.

“Good afternoon Master Jed.” The senior boy greets when Jed saw them.

“Oh, hey Ken, Jean.” He greeted, “You guys excited for tonight?”

“Definitely.” Jean, the senior girl, answered “I would miss this things, I mean who knows just how many of us will still be here at NSA for college and not to mention graduate school right?”

“Well, I’m sure you’ll definitely be here.” Jed said, then he turned to Guillenne, “You know the building near the Library? The new one that they’re building?”

“Yeah, the gallery?” Guillenne said with a nod.

“It’s hers. Well, she designed the building.”

Guillenne’s eyes widened, “For real? All 230 rooms and vents?”

Jean blushed, stifled a laugh and nodded, “Yes, all that.”

“Oh wow, you must really be good.”

“I wish that I am.” She said. “I will be housing like fifty percent of Jed’s art works after all. Not to mention Hunter’s, Huntress’ and Iris’.”

“Oh you are good Jean.” Jed said, proudly. “And I can’t think of a better place but in a building designed by you.”

Guillenne looked over at Jed, “Art works?”

“Yeah, just a little past time.” Jed said casually.

“Yeah, a past time for the top senior students and not to mention the ones who had been here since what? Kinder?” Ken teased. Jed stifled a laugh.

“You’ve been here since kinder?” the sophomore boy asked, open mouthed.

Jed nods.

“Oh man, you must really be good.” The sophomore and junior were staring at Jed now.

Jed snickers, “I’d like to believe I am, but I think someone would beat me to it, like Mave, he’s an amazing sculptor. And Rui’s canvases and sketches are really good.”

“But still, you are one of the best in the academy.” Ken says.

“Thank you, I’m glad to be considered as one.” Jed said blushing, “Anyway, I need to drop Guillenne off at the dorms. You ladies really should start fixing up.”

“Of course, Master Jed.” They all said.

“Very well, let’s guess who is who later to see if we’ll see each other.” Jed says.

They laughed.

“It was nice to see you Jean, Ken… everyone.” Guillenne says tipping her head.

“You as well miss Guillenne.” Ken says.

They watched as Jed and Guillenne walk toward the girl’s dormitory. Then when they reached the door they faced each other and exchanged a few words, then Guillenne smiled and gave Jed a kiss on the cheek and entered the dorm. Then Jed left. They sighed and exchanged looks.

“That was pretty much all of them.” The sophomore guy said. “At least you girls still have Nayre.”

“I don’t really care,” the junior girl said, “I saw how happy they are and that’s enough for me. Especially the twins, they’ve helped us many times, they deserve this.”

“Well it’s not like we have any choice right?” the sophomore guy says.

“No wonder they all looked so good,” Jean nods.

“What do you mean?” The sophomore girl asked.

“Well, they’re in love aren’t they? What more reason do they need?” Jean points out.

“The look of love….” The girls sighed. While the boys rolled their eyes.

“And that’s the same look that will lead them to each other tonight.” Mr. Watson was behind them; they all turned and faced him. “And you ladies must really go prepare now.”

“Yes Mr. Watson.” The girls ran off to the dorm.

“We’ll see you tonight!” Ken shouts, Jean raised her hand answering him with a gesture. Ken smiled and nodded.

“So, Mr. Watson, are you telling us that we need to be cheesy to find our dates?” the sophomore guy asked.

Mr. Watson laughed, “Oh no, Mr. Doley, just be yourself and everything will fall into place. am I right Mr. Cooper?”

Ken smiled and nodded.
