《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 8: A Familiar Face, But a Different Person part 2

Advertisement

It's already noon on a normal school day, students have their lunch at this hour. Like any other school, the students go to the cafeteria where they enjoy a world class buffet.

Others decide to eat in the classrooms, outside or at their clubrooms. In the case of Alejandro, he always eats at the rooftop like other cliche protagonists. Even though it is prohibited to eat at the roof, Alejandro always manages to open the door without anyone noticing.

Alejandro looks at the sky while eating an apple. He is covered in bandages because of Aleister's assault.

"What was that nightmare that I had that night...it felt so real…"

The sky is clouded and it started to snow, Alejandro looks at the palm of his left hand. In his palm there is a mark, the mark has the shape of a key.

"First I had that weird dream, when I woke up the golden key disappeared and this strange mark appeared on the palm of my hand."

(RING RING RING)

The bell rings and Alejandro decides to head downstairs.

"I must keep it a secret...I don't want anyone noticing this mark…"

Alejandro walks down the stairs, he passes the girl brown skin, violet eyes and blonde hair without noticing her.She looks at Alejandro and notices that a strange golden aura is coming out of his left hand.

“This aura, no doubt about it...Alejandro Sanchez, you are now my target...”

Alejandro decides to cover his palm with a bandage in order to avoid anyone seeing the mark.

After the classes had ended, Alejandro decided to walk home. As he walks down the street he is looking at his hand. Suddenly, a beautiful girl with black hair and brown eyes approaches Alejandro.

"H-h-h-ello Alejandro…"Alejandro notices a shaky voice coming from behind. He turns around and sees Angela who is smiling at him.

"Oh, hey Angela, how've you been?"

"I've been doing great thank you...Are you going home?"

"Yeah…"

"Then can we walk together?"

"Sure, no problem…"

"Great…" Angela smiles and runs to his side.

Angela and Alejandro have known eachother since kindergarten, Alejandro has always seen her as a friend however, Angela is attracted to him. But Alejandro doesn't feel the same way.

They walk together down the street, Angela begins to shake as she says:

"I-it sure is freezing today right?"

"You think so? To be honest, I think it's normal…" Alejandro notices her shaking and takes off his scarf.

"Here, you can borrow it for today, I don't want you to freeze…"

Angela blushes and denies it at first, Alejandro puts it around her neck gently. Angela smiles and leaves it on.

"Thank you…"

"No problem"

"I wanted to ask you about your injuries, what happened to you?"

Alejandro looks away, he knows that Angela has connections with Aleister because she belongs to the student council.

Alejandro makes a fake smile and comes up with an excuse:

"I...ummm...fell down the stairs, yeah...I fell down accidently at work…"

"Oh my, and are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, it was just a scratch…"

"I see, and what about the one in your left hand…"

Alejandro gets nervous, Angela slowly begins to approach her hand to his, her eyes turn hollow as she approaches it saying:

"I want to see what's beneath it, did you hurt as you fell down the stairs as well??"

Alejandro quickly puts it away his pocket replying:

"I...uhmmm…..cut myself while preparing dinner that's all…"

"Oh...I see...then you should be more careful…"

"I will, I promise…'

(BEEP BEEP)

A car arrives to pick up Angela, Angela runs to the car and says:

"Well, I'm going now, please be careful Alejandro...I'll see you tomorrow…"

Angela waves and leaves, Alejandro waves back and continues to walk.

"What was that? Why was she so persistent?"

Alejandro thinks to himself as continues his path. At the other corner of the street, a beast observes his movements, the beast growls as it observes with its giant green eyes and slowly vanishes…

*************************************************************************

"FIU...ALL DONE!" A silver hair beauty says as she wipes the sweat out of her forehead.

"Nice done dear…you're a lot faster than I am…" A handsome young man says as he continues to work with his papers.

"Well, I've won this round Aleister…"

"You're always the fastest between us, Marjorie."

Marjorie gets closer and hugs Aleister from behind.

"Hey, Aleister dear...our anniversary is coming up, in just one more month, it will be 2 years of us being together…"

" Oh yeah...I forgot about that…" Aleister says with a serious tone.

"You did?" Marjorie's expression changes. Aleister begins to chuckles:

"Oh dear, you're too emotional, of course I would never forget...in fact I have a special plan for our anniversary."

"Really, I was worried you'd forgotten…" Marjorie says with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

Aleister stands up and gently grabs Marjorie's chin.

"I would never forget about it, in fact, on February 14th, two years ago, you made me the happiest man alive…you know how much I love you right?"

Marjorie with great happiness approaches his face and kisses him.

"Thank you, I love you too…."

"Well, I see you two are as lovely dovey as always…"A red haired beauty says as she stands at the door with a grin on her face.

The two of them look away. Marjorie feeling embarrassed says:

"Victoria, how long have you been there?"

"Not much, just when you hugged him…" Victoria chuckles, Marjorie gets redder, Aleister chuckles.

"That was from the beginning, sheesh Victoria you could have at least knocked…"

"Now, now, no need to be all embarrassed, I just came here to talk to you guys about our missing member, we still need a Historian…"

"About that…" Marjorie looks at Aleister and suggests:

"I recommend Alejandro Sanchez to be the next Historian…"

Aleister and Victoria look at Marjorie with a worried expression.

"What's wrong, is it a bad idea…"

Aleister sighs with his eyes close and says:

"Listen Marjorie, the position of Historian is for someone who is serious about it. The historian in this school must record everything that is happening within the student council and faculty…"

"So what...Alejandro is a genius, he is able to do that position with ease…"

Victoria steps forward, and with an annoyed expression comment:

"Yes, we all know that he is a genius, but he is a weird goofball who is only obsessed with supernatural things. In other words, he is not serious enough."

"I know but…"

"Marjorie please understand, I don't like him, he's always asking me about what happened that night 5 years ago...the day my parents…"

Victoria begins to feel dizzy, she falls down on her knees and puts her hand on her mouth like she is about to throw up.

"Victoria...are you okay? stay strong…" Aleister holds her.

"I'm okay...thank you…"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" Marjorie tries to go near her.

"Marjorie that's enough, listen I know that he's your friend and that we have known him since kindergarten but I must ask you this…"

Alesiter puts his hands on her shoulders:

"You must stay away from him, I already submitted a request to the Principal about the SIS disbandment."

"But why?"

"Because it has no purpose, it's only a waste of time and you know that. Marjorie, stay away from him, he only wants to put you against me and you know it…"

Aleister continues to speak:

"You must quit the SIS, you need to concentrate more on the Student Council as its vice president. Please, you must concentrate on our relationship as well."

Marjorie lowers her head, she looks at Victoria and Aleister.

"Very well, I will tell Alejandro...and I will quit the SIS...and be here with you…"

Aleister smiles and hugs her saying:

"Thank you, you don't know how happy that makes me feel…"

Aleister makes a sinister smile as he thinks:

"Excellent...things are going as planned…"
