Chapter 4
Monday 1:00pm
I dropped my things off at my dorm room and paced in my dorm thinking of a way to explain this to Robin. I was nervous not by only telling her but by her reaction, when she gets angry, SHE'S ANGRY. I pictured the terrible result and whole my head erasing the thoughts from my head. I looked at the pictures on my phone, "She has to know" I thought as I grabbed by phone and headed out to Robin's dorm.
I put on a coat and grabbed my dorm keys and phone. I opened the door to the sound of a bang on the door, "Owwwww" a girl said as she winced and put a hand to her head. I looked her in the eyes, or should I say eye, she had an eye patch over her left eye, "Why we're you at my door? Do I know you?" I asked. The girl stood back up and brushed off her clothes, which was a uniform like Stryker's but with white lines trimmed with red,
"I'm guessing you don't know ME, but know who YOU are.." she said walking around me. I scoffed, "Really?" I asked, "Why yes, miss ..Iris" She answered, "What the? How do you know that" I asked, "I followed you when you weren't noticing, guess for how long and when" she asked me. I started walking away, frightened, "Are you afraid of a simple question? Come on.. I know you want to know" she taunted.
I bit my lip and turned around staring her in her crimson eye. She smirked, "Well?" She taunted, "From the time I was following Stryker?" I asked, "A good guess but it started from when you and him were in class" she responded, "Yes I'm that good if that's what you're wondering" she said taking the words out of my mouth, "And for what purpose?" I asked, "Why do you care? Anyway I'm Scarlett, and remember it well" she said as she walked away. I scowled as she walked away.
I ran to Robin's dorm thinking about Scarlett, "Oh you think you're sneaky with your generic black hair and stuff, you think you're SOOOO special" I thought about Scarlett as I ran to Robin's dorm.
Monday 2:50pm
I found Lucas outside Robin's dorm, leaning back with a leg proped against the wall and still wearing his uniform. I saw him look at me then back to the ground, "Ready when you are" he said, as he stood behind me as I walked to the door.
I took a breath and knocked on her dorm door. Robin answered and looked at me with a puzzled look, "Why's Lucas here?" She asked as we both walked in the door, "We need to tell you something" Lucas said as he sat down in a nearby chair, "What is it?" She asked. I hesitated by taking a deep breath, "Lucas we should say it at the same time" I suggested, "Is about you guys?" Robin asked, "No it's not, it's about you Robin" Lucas answered, "Than spit it out already" Robin said impatiently.
I looked at Lucas, "On 3.. 1, 2, 3" I said counting down, "Stryker likes you" I said as Lucas coughed a fake cough, flashing a smirk quickly after. Robin looked stunned she walked around the room contemplating about the reasons, "....You could be right, where's the proof" Robin asked seriously. I pulled out my phone and showed her the pictures.
She sat down and looked at them and realized the proof, "Him asking to be my friend, him and the pictures, and him always reasoning with me.. that could be enough" Robin said as she gave back my phone, "And can he draw me with me not being in his mind" Robin continued, "It could be enough". I paced back and forth wanting to say something to help, but no ideas are coming to me.
I then thought of something. I went to the door and opened it hearing that same bang, "Son of..." I heard a fimaliar voice said, "Who is there Iris?" Robin asked, "Oh, just an acquaintance of sorts" I replied as I saw Scarlett frowning at me, "Aquantance.. pfft please, you wish" Scarlett replied, as she walked in, "Guys this is Scarlett, I'm guessing you know everyone already right?" I asked her. Scarlett looked at the ground, "Yeah.." She said smirking.
Everyone furrowed their brows in disbelief, "Robin and Lucas correct" Scarlett asked, "Yes" they both said at the same time, Scarlett smiled at their answer about how she was correct. I rolled my eyes and sat down, "Well you heard everything, tell us, what we should do?" I asked,
"Hmmmmm, Oh I don't know if I want to.. well I am a stranger and I'm thinking you're just going to use me. Maybe I'll help if you add more vigger to it" Scarlett said smirking, "*sigh* Help us with our problem" I asked swallowing my disrespect, "You forgot one thing" Scarlett said as she leaned into my ear, "The magic word" she whispered smirking,
"HELP US WITH THE FUCKING PROBLEM!" Robin said leaping from her chair grabbing her, "OH I FORGOT please" Robin continued. Scarlett's eye was wide, and nodded. Robin let go of her and Scarlett brushed off her uniform, "I knew she can blow up but WOW.. she's a volcano" Scarlett said backing away from Robin huffing like a bull.
Scarlett then motioned us to come outside, "I know Stryker, more then you know, and yes I think he might like Robin" Scarlett started, as we all left Robin's dorm and she locked the door and took her key with her. Scarlett then led us to a dorm, "This is his dorm, just act normal and go in there and I'll help you if I can in the window at the side of his dorm" Scarlett said as she knocked and ran to the side of the window.
Stryker answered the door, "Oh hey guys, how did you find my dorm" He asked, "We.. asked the head master and he said what number your dorm is" I responded quickly. He furrowed a brow, "Well come in" he said opening the door more.
As we all came in we were surrounded by drawings of many drawings from many anime. I recognized Vampire knight, Death Note along with an actual Death Note book on a rack beside it, and Pokèmon along with a Pokèball on a rack beside it along with many more relics from anime, "Oh look, SAO" Lucas recognized as he saw a drawing of a boy with black hair and trench coat wielding his signature swords.
I sat down near a window, out looking the school so I could hear Scarlett giving advice about what to say. Stryker sat down and grabbed a larger sketch book and drew in it. Scarlett whispered, "Just talk to him already". I took a breath, "What are you drawing in there?" I asked Stryker, "A dragon" he replied as he showed me a rough outline of a dragon putting it back down to continue it.
I mouthed to Robin and Lucas, "Keep him talking", "How do you like the school so far?" Lucas asked, "Fine" Stryker answered quickly, eyes glued to his sketch book. Robin then looked away from Stryker, "What kinds of anime do you like" Robin asked, "I like many fantasy animes, like the ones on the wall" Stryker responded, "What kinds of anime do you like" Stryker asked her, "Why do you care?" Robin responded.
"Keep Robin talking" Scarlett whispered. I passed it on by mouthing her to keep talking, "Well I was just wondering" Stryker answered looking at Robin with hurt eyes. Robin sighed, "Alright I'm sorry... I like Fantasy" She said, "What's your favourite you've seen so far" Stryker asked, "Death Note" she responded, "Try watching Sword Art Online or SAO" Stryker suggested.
Monday 5:00pm
I leaned back in my chair and yawned watching the conversation take place forever, "Alright I'll watch it if I have the time" Robin replied, "Alright, I need to start studying now.. see you tomorrow" Stryker said as he opened the door for us to leave. I headed out the door along with Robin and Lucas, "Where's Scarlett?" Lucas asked. I ran to the window to find Scarlett gone. I shrugged my shoulders and walked back to my dorm thinking about what I'll have for dinner later tonight.
