Something seems odd and it's not just the fact that your pouring gunpowder into a firecrackers. Even Roderich and Basch seemed to have a skip in their step; you didn't ask anyone yet, because you were determined to figure it out on your own, but it was starting to eat away at you.

You: looking over at Ivan
Hey... Is it just me... Or does everyone seem happy?

Ivan: looking over at you with a big smile
It's a short school day today, the school fete is this afternoon and goes until 10 at night!

You: shocked
Today? I'm just finding out about this!

Ivan: raising his hands in the air
HOORAY!!!

It would be fruitless to start questioning him as to why your were just finding out about the fete now, instead you shot him a cheery smile and put down the firecracker, in order to playfully lifted your arms up in the air to celebrate with him about this afternoon's festivities. You both felt someone high-fiving your hands and noticed that Emil was standing in front of you both.

Emil: blurting out
But the best part about the fete is that it's the only time of the year the school allows us to sample candies and treats shipped straight from our mother countries and to share with each other. I love liquorice!

Ever since Emil did that dance, he's been so social and outgoing around you, you've learnt a lot about him; he's such a precious cinnamon bun.

You: smiling
Well then, at least this is gonna be a fun Friday afternoon.

Emil: frowning at you
I thought you'd be more nervous about the votes?

You: raising an eyebrow
That's not until another week away.

Ivan: chiming in
But they're being read out tonight at the fete.

You: freaking out
WHAT?!

A sudden silence fell and you looked around the chemistry room noticing that everyone, including Mr Lamb had an eyebrow raised at your sudden outburst.

Mr Lamb: going back to work and mumbling half to himself
I always knew that the prettiest of dandelions were less 'dande' and more 'lion'...

Emil: playfully rolling his eyes at you and walking away
I recommend getting that done, sense they are being tested at the fete tonight.

Your eye began to twitch as you looked down at your filthy hands covered in gunpowder.

Did anyone ELSE want to tell you that something major was happening tonight!?
First a school fete!
Then the announcements for president and vice school council positions!
Now the chemistry assignment is due!
HOLY MARTIN LUTHER!

*bell ringing*

*smack*

Ivan: confusedly tapping on your shoulder
Ahh, _____?

You: talking while your face is flat against the desk
_____, is not here anymore, she died.... I can take a message for her though.

Ivan: packing up his stuff
I have Biology right now, but you have a free period, right?

You: enthusiastically looking up at him
OH YEAH! I'll differently be able to get it done during the free period!

You whipped your head around and shoved everything into your school bag with a big goofy smile on your face.

You: jumping out of your seat and waving bye to him
C'ya at lunch!

Ivan: yelling out to as you ran out the door
J-just don't change the message coding!

...

You found yourself a cosy little spot under an oak tree in an excluded part of a garden you recently were shown by Roderich a few days ago simply called the 'Rose Garden'; it homed almost every known species of rose and was bordered by old oak trees. You were sprawled out on your stomach with your legs calmly fidgeting among the freshly clipped luscious grass, as you focused on the firecracker, finishing a few final touches to it.

"Elska! (Love)"

Elska?
Ohhhh.... It can only be one person

You sent out a rather loud hum while not taking your attention off of your chemistry assignment. A shadow casted over you and you looked up to see Mathias sending a gleaming smile down on you, as the sunlight made a faint frame around his head, brightening the edges of his spiked blonde hair.

Mathias: sitting down in front of you
You don't seem nervous about the announcements tonight.

You: finishing off the firecracker
In all honestly, I only found out that they were being announced tonight, plus a few million other million things seem to be happening as well... I'm not all that fused about the position, remember that it was Lukas's idea to nominate me.

Mathias: foolishly smiling at you
I'm glad you feel that way, just drop out; want me to walk with you to tell Mr Germaina?

Drop out?

You: putting down the completed firecracker
... I'm not dropping out, I don't give up on things that easily, even if I don't like them.

Mathias: uncharacteristically looking at you seriously
Do you understand how important this is to people who want this?

You: frowning at him
It's only up you, Ivan and me.... I don't think too many people actually care about th--

Mathias: raising his voice
I'm a descendant of a Viking who ruled one of the oldest kingdoms known to history! I'm not going to disgrace my blood! ... The school sends progress reports back to our families, imagine how proud they will be when they find out that the son they haven't seen for so long.... Is the president of the school's council! And I'm prepared to get that title by any means possible.

Mathias lunged his hand around your throat without warning and pulled you closer to him, dragging you off of your stomach and now on your knees, gagging for air. He leaned his face in close to yours and began to run his fingers through your (h/c), grinning at the fear pounding out of your eyes; dominance clearly favouring him.

Mathias: biting at his bottom lip
You have such a sweet face... Too bad I value friendship over the thoughts I get about you that's makes my body crave you..... Your a mysterious girl, one that has more than one 'rewards for her head'... But, I've finally found and captured... LMC!

Your frozen (e/c) eyes locked with his, the very mention of those three letters spelt 'doomsday' to you; Mathias sent a bone chilling grin as he felt your throat struggling to swallow.

Mathias: slightly pulling on your hair
So it's true! I knew I can always rely on Alfred and Gilbert to back me up... Friendship is more important, than ravishing a woman.

You began to shake and hyperventilate, signalling to Mathias that you weren't going to run off any time soon. Mathias realised you from his grip and you fell straight towards the ground, lying on the grass shaking, speechless and vulnerable.

Mathias: rubbing your back
Shhhh... It's going to be okay elska (love), because I'm a nice guy. Let's make a deal, only Gilbert and I know about the identity of Little Miss Cyber, we never told Alfred, so don't worry about it getting out. You have until this night to drop out and if you don't, I'm going to tell the whole school of your identity and then post it online; just keep in mind that a certain Russian wants to murder LMC too, so your friendship with him might take a 'minor twist'.

Mathias: standing up and walking away
See you tonight elska (love), wearing something cute!

You just remained there, laying face first into the grass, shaking and crying, never in a million years could you imagine something like this happen, but from Mathias... The big goofball of an idiot! He has a hidden dark side...

HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT YOUR....???
HOW DOES GILBERT KNOW???
H-how could you have allowed yourself to become so relaxed around people?
... How do you fix this?

==================================================================================

Sorry that it's a little late, I had dodgy wifi last night and had to wait for it to begin working properly at midday.
Australia really has some of the worst wifi... By now I believe my neighbours think it must be a normal event listening to me threatening my wifi XD
