In Queendom's backyard. Alizee was waiting for someone until Quinn showed up. Quinn considered Alizee her closest person in Queendom, she was more like her partner in crime.
"So... Are the rumors true?", Alizee asked in a serious tone. Quinn nodded silently.
"No way. You've got to be kidding me!", Alizee exclaimed.
"It's not over, but there's still some convincing to do.", Quinn asserted.
"What did he say?", Alizee asked.
"He said it was too risky. Thanks to Rocky they got eyes on them.", Quinn replied.
"He's just being paranoid.", Alizee worried. Then Quinn started to think deeply about something.
"Dammit!", Alizee was angry. Quinn wasn't reacting at all, she was only thinking.
"Why am I the only one worried here? You have a plan, right?", Alizee irritated.
"Shut up and let me think!", Quinn yelled at her.
Quinn remembered the first Queendom and Masquerade party together in the Masquerade's mansion a year ago. Quinn and Jack were sharing a joint on a sofa. The Ques and Queens were having a fun time. They were boozing, smoking, dancing, and some were making out.
"Hey! Give it back! I said one drag!", Quinn yelled at Jack as he was smoking.
"This is some quality shit!", said Jack as he passed the joint to her.
"You know who to thank for that...", said Quinn as she smoked.
"Whoa...", Jack got high as he leaned back on the sofa.
"I told you to go easy! I wasn't being cheap when I said that.", Quinn commented.
"So, this is how you party...", Jack joked.
"No, that's how you party.", Quinn replied.
"I keep telling you, this is how it should be! Queendom and Masquerade! Masquerade and Queendom! Together! Masqueen is what it's all about!", Jack was overjoyed.
"Look at you! Trying to take over this place just like that. It's not that easy, it's hard to break traditions.", Quinn laughed.
"No shit!? I have been trying since I got here. But *beep* traditions! Or better yet, make new ones! Get rid of that Queendom-Muscleverse shit! Think about it! If it wasn't for Rocky's and Maria's stupid-stupid relationship there would be nothing that really connects Queendom and Muscleverse.", Jack stated arrogantly.
"Except for history.", said Quinn.
"What we could do would be history one day, too! We're the vice presidents! We call the shots!", Jack bragged.
"So... what's your offer?", Quinn asked.
"Look at this place! It's three times as big as the verses' shitty villa! Rich makes sure there's a constant flow of alcohol without a campus security problem. All we need is some skirt to make this the best place ever. That's where you come in!", Jack continued.
"A place to party? You call that an offer?", Quinn doubted.
"A place to party for real! Catch my drift? you know Maria... She wouldn't be cool with people using drugs in your house. And if you take a gamble with the verses, you are *beep*. All that bragging about being natty tells me their parties must suck ass.", Jack joked.
"Haha! They aren't natty! It's the equivalent of a party girl saying she's a virgin. It just sounds better.", Quinn laughed.
"Yeah, yeah! But look at the Ques! Rich is cool with all of this. Marlin's already in! Alizee! Diana! Cherry! Nebula! Not to mention Velvet! That's a lot of people! And that's a great private party! The best part about it is if you ever get caught by anyone, you can blame it on us. How's that for an offer?", Jack made an offer to her.
"You're offering to be a scapegoat? You're *beep* nuts! I like you. I wouldn't want that.", Quinn didn't buy it.
"That's how confident I am in this. No one will ever know! Just look at how the counselors treat Rich for being a Hemisphere! Let's start small and gradually swap the Verses for the Ques. And you keep on bringing me the good stuff.", Jack stated.
"Throw in some extra money on that deal.", Quinn joked.
"Every penny I get extra is already spent on you. Rich won't go for a sponsor role, but it's not like the Verses pay you, right? Maybe there are more Ques that wanna join in? I could ask Duncan and Bumcan. You know you want to. Traditions are worth breaking. It's just like people changing jobs to get a better deal!", Jack added.
"I shouldn't make deals while being high...but *beep* it. It is a good offer. Besides, I'm sick of the *beep* Verses anyway.", Quinn accepted Jack's deal and her flashback ended.
"Are you done?", Alizee asked.
"...I've got something. It's not the best plan...and it won't sit well with the Ques...but if it works, we're right back on track.", Quinn stated.
"What's the plan?", Alizee asked as Quinn seemed to be very anxious.
Meanwhile in Muscleverse's villa. Dew was making love with his girlfriend, Sulci, in his room when Gunther walked in.
"...Dew, Rocky wants to have some words with us.", Gunther stated in a serious tone.
"What's going on?", Dew worried.
Then Gunther and Dew walked into the living room where Rocky and the rest of the Verses were awaiting.
"What's happening?", Dew asked in a serious tone.
"I *beep* up. Big time. And I'm getting suspended for it.", Rocky responded with the sound of guilt in his tone. The Verses got shocked. There was a room filled with silence.
"They are kicking you out of the college?", Gunther asked.
"No, I still get one chance to keep my scholarship, but I can't be a part of Muscleverse anymore.", Rocky stated.
"But what about our upcoming big competition!? We were going to win!", Dew barked.
"I know... Maybe there's a way for me to get back in, but it won't be for a while.", Rocky commented.
"That's bullshit! They can't do that!", Bruno rasped in rage.
"They can. Professor Lugar Heidenberg has the power and the right to make any decisions that are anything inside Astorion.", Rocky revealed.
"But why come up with this decision? What did you do?", Lou asked.
"...I lost my cool and beat up that freshy, Eiffel.", said Rocky.
"What the *beep* did he do this time?", Dew grunted.
"See for yourself...", said Rocky as he handed his phone over to Dew. Dew played the video of Rocky talking romantically to an unknown girl over the phone while the rest of the Verses watched it. The Verses tensed up and were clenching fists.
"What the hell is this!? ...That's it! He is dead! I've seen enough! I'm gonna go kill him right now! Let's go boys!", Dew snapped and they were about to make a move.
"That's the thing...You can't!", Rocky stated something which stopped them. "The counselors will be watching you guys from now on. I don't know for how long, but if you beat them up and they hear about it... That's it for Muscleverse. No more frat house, no more competition, no more parties, no more brotherhood. And You know what else they might find out if they are watching us closely..."
"You can't be serious!", Toubro startled.
"Wait a minute. Did you beat up that freshy just for this? It cannot be the only reason. If it was only for this reason that Maria broke up with you then I can't buy it. You could've made up a lie and thrown it to her, she would've believed it. She is that stupid. It isn't that easy to provoke you, Rocky. I've known you for a very long time now... What are the other reasons, Rocky? ...Speak up!", Bruno urged.
Rocky took some time before handing over some photos to Bruno. Bruno and the other Verses were checking out the photos carefully. The photos were some mysteries revolving around Muscleverse and they are top secret level.
"That Freshy clicked these photos!?", Dew gulped in shock. Rocky nodded.
"Wait a minute... It can't be him who took these... How does he have access to all of these?", Bruno questioned after checking them all out carefully.
"Last night someone knocked on the door. As I opened it, I found an envelope on the floor. The envelope says 'Eiffel' on its back. The photos were inside of it.", Rocky stated.
"But a freshy can't learn all these secrets of Astorion in such a short time. Look at these. Some of these pictures are from a long time ago. Way older than that freshy came around.", Bruno commented while the others agreed.
"Yeah, I don't know. I wasn't thinking when I beat him up. But, even though it makes sense that Eiffel is not completely behind all of these, he is still involved in some of them. Apparently, Maria has recently started to doubt me and we all saw Eiffel and Maria together every once in a while. I guess that's why he sneaked into our locker room the other day. It must be Maria doing it. She probably told Eiffel to spy on me. ...Even though many things going around my head, I think the entire Masquerade members are involved in this. They are taking revenge.", Rocky stated.
"Those bastards!", Dew exhaled.
"But now, what happens to Muscleverse? What's the future of us?", Gunther asked.
"...I'll see you guys at the gym and all... I'm not gonna stop training for the competition. But for now, I just have to find someplace else to stay... Bring in some fresh Verses in the house and you need to get yourselves a new president.", Rocky suggested.
"Hey, that's you, Dew.", said Gunther. Then Dew approached Rocky.
"Rocky... Dude, I'm sorry. Thanks for sticking up for me.", Dew consoled him.
"I'm sorry for *beep* up, guys.", Rocky apologized.
In the meantime at Masquerade's mansion. Eiffel and Grate were looking at the bloody pledge board. Day 1 has passed. 3 tasks have been completed.
1. Beat up a Hunting Party officer. ✓
2. Steal a Towel from Muscleverse. ✓
3. Steal Clothes from Queendom. ✓
Day 2 has begun. Tuesday.
"Day one. We managed to complete 3 tasks. If we manage to accomplish 3 tasks per day on average, then we could complete all the tasks of the Blood Games in time.", said Eiffel.
"You got that right, B-boi. I love your dedication to this.", Grate cheered up.
"Shut up!", Eiffel got annoyed. "Think about the tasks we should complete today. Although it never fails to cross my mind on how we will manage to date a teacher."
"That's right, dude. It's either Miss Willington or Miss Braganza. Who do you prefer the most?", Grate asked.
"Miss Diantha Braganza, of course. Everyone wants her.", Eiffel replied.
"Going with the flow, huh? Sometimes it's ok to be different. Have you ever noticed Miss Willington? She's a milk machine.", Grate shared while Eiffel sighed. "Besides, she is single. You'll have greater chance of dating her than dating Miss Braganza."
Suddenly Jack approached them and conversed with Eiffel, "Hey, son. We're going to the club tonight!"
"A Club?"
"A party club."
"Tonight?"
"Tonight."
"What for?"
"You're a big son of a gun for dethroning Rocky out of Muscleverse. To celebrate, we decided to give you a gift. And we are gonna do that in that club."
"But, I'm not 21."
"We're fully aware."
"And that's not a problem?"
"Only if you make it one."
"What does that mean?"
"Just shut up and show up at 8."
Then Jack looked at the Bloody Pledge Board and commented, "So far so good... Don't do that task until I tell you to do so."
"Which one?", Eiffel asked.
"That one.", Jack indicated.
"Pluck a Leaf from the Crematorium's Tree of the Undead?", Grate asked.
"Yes.", Jack uttered.
"What about it?", Eiffel asked.
"We'll talk about it when we'll plan on doing it. But, for now, let's go.", said Jack.
"Where?", Eiffel asked.
"Follow me.", Jack lead the way.
Later on the indoor balcony above the hallways inside the college building, the Ques and the Noobs gathered.
"Father, what are we waiting for?", Grate asked Richard.
"Hey! Hey! Bros! Here they come!", Busquets alerted them as new freshmen were entering the hallway.
"What's going on?", Eiffel asked curiously.
"You'll have your memories refreshed. Noobs! This is one of the Ques' traditions. In a few short minutes will come the second wave of freshmen of the year. Your task is to call them using any funny names you can think of. Got it?", Richard showed them the rules.
Suddenly Eiffel recalled his first day on Astorion and Jack calling him 'Hey, Rooster!' which made him smile a little.
"Just watch.", Jack smirked as the Ques started calling them funny names like Bubbles McSquishy, Packington, Jigglesworth, Puddingpants, Captain Wiggles, Gigglesnort, Snickerdoodle, Sparklebottom, etc.
"What are we looking at?", Grate asked.
"This happens every semester.", Richard answered.
"We call it the march of the rejects.", said Jack.
"The rejects?", Eiffel asked confusingly.
"Yes. What you're witnessing right now are the people who weren't quite good enough to make the first cut...but had luck and still got accepted. Their entire presence here is due to quitters and no-shows. Those people are happy to accept what wasn't good enough for those who left. The rejects.", Jack stated.
"I don't see a difference between them and us. We're still going to the same college and studying the same things.", Eiffel commented.
"Such a naive noob. The best Queens are always rejects. Quinn and Alizee. Both rejects.", said Jack.
There was a tall and big guy among those freshmen who glared at the Ques as he was walking.
"Hey, Biscuitface! What are you looking at!? Keep on walking, you *beep* reject!", Jack smirked at him. The guy kept on walking as the Ques laughed.
"Hey, isn't that...", Busquets startled as he spotted a girl entering the hallways. It was a pretty fancy-looking cowgirl.
"It is!!! PAMELA! She's a *beep* smoke show!", Jack got excited upon recognizing her.
"Pamela Rosette? What brings her here? Did she quit Ophelia Pond?", Bumcan asked in curiosity.
"Is that some kind of a girls' band or something?", Grate asked. The Ques ignored his question.
"The last time I saw her she said she applied for health studies here at Astorion. But she is not quitting Ophelia Pond.", Richard stated.
"Damn.. then college will be cheap for her.", said Busquets.
"Damn... Pamela's some proper Queendom material.", Jack commented.
"You think they'd want her?", Duncan asked.
"My *beep* wants her. I'm gonna go convince her to pledge.", said Jack as he rushed off.
"Wait for me!", Richard hesitated as he rushed off as well.
"Hey, I saw her first!", and so did Busquets and the rest of the Ques. Only Grate and Eiffel were left.
"College...", Eiffel sighed.
"Aren't you enjoying this?", Grate asked, but Eiffel felt bored. "Come on, man. Learn to enjoy it. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I guarantee you are going to miss this time when it's gone. Here. Wear this." Grate hands over the Red-nosed clown mask to Eiffel which he had been wearing.
"I don't wanna wear.", said Eiffel.
"Follow the rules, B-boi! Today is your day to wear this masterpiece. I'll get to wear this again tomorrow.", Grate stated.
"Follow the rules? Have you ever followed any rules in your entire lifetime!?", Eiffel scolded as he wore the mask while Grate laughed. Then they left.
Later. Grate and Eiffel were on their way to the class when they bumped into Dew and Gunther. They glared at Eiffel and then walked passed them.
"What... for real? Oh, right... It's probably because of Rocky... Catherina's watching them closer now.", Eiffel thought in surprise.
"I was kind of expecting something to happen.", Grate feared.
"You know, I was thinking the same thing.", Eiffel agreed. "After the counselors meeting this morning... Rocky may have told the Verses to back off since Professor Lugar told him they'd watch them closely from now on."
"You do realize what this means?", Grate chortled.
"No, what?", Eiffel asked in curiosity.
"We can *beep* with them in the open without being worried about the consequences!", Grate cheered up.
"I wouldn't take it that far. Who knows how they will act when there's no one around? Also, just because we're not Verses, doesn't mean we're immune to punishment.", Eiffel opposed and then asked in confusion, "But I don't get how and why Professor Lugar has the right to strip Rocky out of Muscleverse's president title. Isn't it the Verses' matter about who stays as Muscleverse's president or not?"
"Dude. That's Professor Lugar Heidenberg! He is the *beep* President of Astorion! Not only that he gets to decide who stays as the President of Muscleverse, but he also gets to decide who stays as the President of Books & Beans, MMM, Queendom, and of course Masquerade. Even so, if one student wants to open a fraternity or a sorority inside Astorion, it wouldn't be done without his permission. He has the power and control over anything that goes inside Astorion. But he doesn't act unless the matter is crucial and monumental because according to him, you should not sell your face everywhere.", Grate stated.
"Wow, man...", Eiffel got stunned. "How do you know all that in such a short time?"
"My father told me.", Grate said so casually.
"What!? You mean!?", Eiffel was startled.
"Richard. Yes, my father.", Grate answered.
"Oh... That's not what I had in mind in the first place.", Eiffel sighed.
"It's part of being a father, he said.", Grate stated.
"Funny, because Jack never tells me *beep*.", Eiffel raged.
"Do you want him to? I mean, you don't seem to like him a lot.", Grate implied.
"I just feel a bit weird not getting the same treatment, that's all. I wish Richard was my father, too.", Eiffel sighed.
"How about if you start up a talk with Jack? He seems to like Masquerade tradition and frat life...maybe you could begin a conversation with that?", Grate suggested.
"Guess I'll try.", Eiffel breathed.
Then they entered the classroom after seeing Catherina was on her way as well.
Later. Catherina has taken the English class and given them a proper lecture.
"Class has ended today. I hope you've understood the formula and differences between simple, complex, and compound sentence structures. I believe you've received today's homework. Make sure to complete it by tomorrow. Thank you.", Catherina concluded and then she left.
Later. In the Canteen. Everyone lined up to take lunch. Eiffel was behind Grate in line and they were having a conversation.
Arumi came in with lunch in hand and interjected, "Hey there, G-boi. Is everything cool over here?"
"G-boi!?", Eiffel startled himself.
"Yes. Everything's cool. Meet my friend. He is Eiffel.", Grate introduced Eiffel to her.
"Hey.", said Eiffel.
"It's Arumi.", Arumi introduced herself. Then she saw the Red Nose and commented, "This long red nose is pretty disgusting."
"Yeah, totally! Can you believe that this guy was gonna go around asking girls to sit on his face while wearing that?", Grate agreed and claimed about Eiffel.
"Oh My God! Are you for real?", Arumi got even more disgusted.
"Wait!? What the!?", Eiffel was puzzled.
"Totally not cool, B-boi.", Grate teased him and poked his eye at the same time.
"He's obviously trying to impress Arumi... Using a very shitty strategy, but fine... I'll let him look good for once.", Eiffel said to himself.
"I'll be waiting for you in the corner.", said Arumi as she went away.
"Alright. Go ahead.", Grate said to Arumi and then asked Eiffel, "You didn't mind, did you?"
"You are the reason God created the middle finger.", Eiffel replied. Grate laughed at that comeback.
The canteen staff called for Grate who was the next to be served and asked, "What do you want to have for lunch today?"
"I want an Omlette.", Grate answered.
"It's Omelette or Omelet.", the staff corrected him.
"Former is Dorian and latter is Phrygian.", Grate imparted. Dori and Phrygy are the names of two countries in the world. The people of Dori and their language is called Dorian and Phrygy's is called Phrygian.
"But, what you said is none of the above.", the staff specified.
"That's because I am neither Dorian nor Phrygian. I'm Locrian.", Grate stated while everyone laughed. The staff got angry a little, but she served him what he wanted. Grate left as he grinned at Eiffel.
"There are some remarkably dumb people in this world. Thanks for helping me understand that, Grate.", Eiffel sighed.
Then. Eiffel picked up his food and then looked for a place to eat. Grate was eating with Arumi. Twinkle and Irene were eating with her Queendom sisters. Eiffel found a place. Then he sat down and was eating his food.
"Is everything alright?", Desdemona asked who was opposite of him.
"Mona?!", Eiffel startled. "Sorry, I didn't see you."
"Eat your food.", said Desdemona. They were silent for a while.
"You eat here in the canteen?", Eiffel asked.
"Every once in a while.", Desdemona answered and then asked, "What's up with the nose? A new trend or something?"
"The nose is part of our Blood Games. Blood Games is a kind of hazing process.", Eiffel replied.
"I know what Blood Games is. It was a thing when I went to college, too. Which fraternity?", Desdemona asked.
"Masquerade.", Eiffel replied and asked, "Do you know them?"
"I hate them.", Desdemona answered and Eiffel sighed. "So, you are going to wear that nose all week?", Desdemona asked.
"No, I take turns with my friend Grate.", Eiffel replied.
"Grate's your friend?", Desdemona asked in surprise.
"You know him?", Eiffel asked back in surprise as well.
"I would have asked you or tried to figure out if you find trouble or if trouble finds you. Now I understand how and why.", Desdemona laughed. Eiffel sighed.
Suddenly, the new daughters of Queendom arrived. They were Tasha, Lotus, Irene, and Twinkle.
"Hey, you must be Eiffel, right?", Tasha asked him.
"Umm. Yes.", Eiffel answered nervously.
"You are friends with Irene and Twinkle, right? They were right when they said that you are adorable.", said Lotus. Eiffel felt embarrassed a little bit as he blushed which Desdemona noticed and thought, "God! He is popular..."
"You are pledging Masquerade, right? We are pledging Queendom. We'll have so much fun in the future after pledge stuff is over.", said Tasha.
"Y-yes. W-we will.", Eiffel was shaking nervously. "Oh, and let me introduce you all to Miss Desdemona. She is the librarian."
"Oh, hello.", the daughters greeted.
"They would've known me if they had an interest in libraries, Eiffel.", Desdemona commented while eating.
"Umm... Hey, weren't there supposed to be six of you?", Eiffel asked.
"Yes. Arumi is with Grate... And Maki... I don't know where she is.", said Tasha.
"Oh yeah. I haven't seen her today.", said Lotus being thoughtful.
"She wasn't in the class today either.", said Irene.
"Yes, you are right. We should look for her. Let's go, girls. See you later, Eiffel.", Twinkle concluded as they left.
Then Miss Diantha and Catherina arrived and sat with Eiffel and Desdemona.
"What's this? Looks like a teacher-student lunch to me.", Diantha was thrilled.
"Eiffel? Are you joining us for lunch, today? How nice!", Catherina felt excited as well.
"Eiffel is in both of your classes?", Desdemona asked in surprise.
"He is in my English class.", said Catherina.
"And he is in my General Mathematics class.", said Diantha.
"He is such an excellent student and has become one of my favorites. He is very attentive and responsive.", Catherina applauded. Desdemona finished eating her food and so she was leaving.
"Leaving?", Catherina asked.
"Oh, well. Something came up in the library.", said Desdemona as she left.
"How are things with you since morning, Eiffel?", Catherina asked sincerely.
"Yes! How are you?", Diantha asked as well.
"Yes, I'm fine...", Eiffel answered.
"I really hope that we can help you for the better. We will be watching out for you to the best of our abilities. Sarah is such a sweet girl. She wants the best for people. I hope you thanked her for the help.", Catherina pleaded.
"I...uh...", Eiffel mumbled.
"Trust me, in the long run, things like this should be brought to the surface.", Diantha expressed.
"Umm. Thanks for the company.", Eiffel said goodbye to them before leaving.
"I'll see you in Maths class after lunch break is over, Eiffel.", said Diantha.
"Maybe I was harsh on her. She only wanted to help me. I haven't done that right.", Eiffel thought as he felt guilty and walking to somewhere. Then he got bumped into Grate. "Hey, man? Are you in a hurry? Is something wrong? Where's Arumi?", Eiffel asked.
"She worried about something. One of her pledge sisters went missing so she went looking for her and I'm looking for her. What about you?", Grate stated and asked.
"I'm off to the library. See you later, mate.", said Eiffel before they went their separate ways.
Then. In the library. Eiffel was looking for someone, but there was no one around except B&B members. He believed that someone will come so he decided to stay and started studying. But he was getting irritated by B&B messing around.
"Man... they are annoying... This is a library... Not a clubhouse... This must be how Mona feels like... Come on... Focus!", Eiffel thought as he was trying to do his homework. Eventually, he managed to complete his homework. "Hm... I see..." B&B was being loud again and Eiffel was getting very annoyed.
Desdemona approached B&B and yelled, "Hey! Keep that noise down!" She looked at Eiffel before walking away.
"My head is spinning... I can't wait for this week to be over.", Eiffel thought as he felt tired. He opened a book and started studying. Suddenly Sarah entered the library with a jar of coffee in hand.
"Good Afternoon.", said Sarah as she sat in front of him.
"Afternoon...", Eiffel replied before going back to studying.
"Umm. Coffee?", Sarah asked.
"For me? Thanks!", Eiffel cheered up. Then both of them were having coffee. Eiffel was trying to concentrate on his studies. Sarah didn't know what she would say and she was expecting Eiffel to give her attention.
"Are you reading?", Sarah asked.
"We are not supposed to be talking here, you know.", said Eiffel.
"Mimicry... Funny...", Sarah mumbled.
"I had to break the ice somehow.", said Eiffel as he closed the book. "Listen... I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did... it's just-", Eiffel tried to apologize.
"I know. I shouldn't have gone behind your back either. Are we good?", Sarah felt relieved.
"Yeah...We're good.", Eiffel accepted. Desdemona kept an eye on them from the shelves.
"What are you studying?", Sarah asked.
"A bit of everything... I'm really behind after all the pledge stuff Masquerade's putting us through.", Eiffel sighed.
"Need any help? Let me give you some tips so you can easily solve them.", said Sarah. Then she helped Eiffel with his studies.
"Wow. Thank you so much. I understand it now.", Eiffel thanked her.
"No Problemo. Are you planning on taking any economics class?", Sarah asked.
"Hm...no? I'm going to be an engineer. Should I be taking economics?", Eiffel asked for her opinion.
"Honestly, yes. Who knows what you may end up doing in life? If you ever want to start your own business or get ahead in a field of work...a few basic economics courses could help you a lot.", Sarah advised him.
"Yeah, maybe she's right. Perhaps I'll do it next semester.", Eiffel thought of it.
"And I can help you with that class if you don't mind. I'm taking that class too.", Sarah added before starting her own studies.
Suddenly, it looked like Eiffel came to his true senses. "Was that a punchline?", he thought. "Does she want me to be with her in that?" He was staring at her and thought, "She's pretty cute when she's reading."
Sarah noticed that Eiffel was looking at her, but she pretended that she didn't notice that and smiled. Eiffel reopened the book and tried to focus on reading it.
"My brain is starting to get full... It's like I hear the words I read, but I don't understand them.", Eiffel thought.
B&B messing around again by mocking Eiffel, "Love! Love! Someone's in Love! Love! Love! Library's not a place for Love!" Sarah felt embarrassed upon hearing it.
"Hey, Moira. You do realize you're gonna make her come back if you keep it up?", Eiffel barked at him.
"Oh, sorry. Please continue.", Moira jeered. After a while, they started doing it again.
"SILENCE!", Desdemona exhaled and scared off B&B.
"Is there something wrong with Mona? She seems angrier than usual today.", Eiffel worried.
"I'll go check up on her.", said Sarah before leaving.
Eiffel was solid angry at B&B, went out of the library, and called Grate.
"Yeah?", asked Grate as he picked up.
"I think I know what's the next task we are going to do today.", Eiffel affirmed.
Next thing. Eiffel and Grate filled up a bunch of water balloons and then they were marching to the woods where B&B were hanging out.
"I'll do the job. You take photos.", Grate suggested.
"Roger that.", said Eiffel. They planned on attacking them from behind. But Moira somehow sensed their arrival. Grate took one water balloon and threw it at them. With surprise on the noobs' faces, Moira caught the water balloon using his bare hands in a blink of an eye. Moira taunted to give him more. So, Grate grabbed all the water balloons one by one and threw them hard at Moira. Moira caught them and passed them to other B&B members Isha, Fret, and Kelvin.
"Aren't the water balloons suppose to explode when touched? Who are they?", Eiffel asked in disbelief. And then there was only one water balloon left. "I'll throw that!", Eiffel urged. Grate accepted.
Both Eiffel and Moira's eyes were blazing in determination. Then Eiffel took some time before throwing that water balloon as hard as he could. The balloon was on its way to Moira fast like the speed of light. But ultimately, Moira caught the balloon with ease. The noobs were completely lost in words. B&B members, except Moira, dropped the balloons on the ground and they exploded. There was only one balloon left and Moira had it.
"Mind if I know what's going on in here? Why are you suddenly trying to pull a prank on us? Tell me the truth.", Moira confronted them.
"It's about Masquerade's Blood Games. It's one of the tasks. Pull a prank on B&B.", Eiffel disclosed.
"Masquerade, huh? Blood Games is so gruesome in your fraternity, Muscleverse have their Hell Games, Queendom got their Hot Week, and who knows what's going on in the MMM mansion with whatever they tried naming it.", Moira taunted then asked in a serious tone, "Are you guys bullying the other fraternities as well or is it just us?"
"No, it's not just you guys. We're pranking the other frats, too.", Grate revealed.
"Haha. That's nice to hear.", Moira laughed.
"Mind if I ask what's Books and Beans' tradition?", Grate asked.
"There are no traditions. We let in those who are passionate about studies, but it has to be shown in their middle and high school results and grades as well." Moira stated. "Now here's the deal. I'll permit you to humiliate one of us in front of your chums for Blood Games. Do you understand that correctly?" said Moira as Grate and Eiffel stared at him. "You'll have to pay me back with something. Got it?"
"What's the deal, Moira?", Eiffel asked in a serious tone.
"Oh, Wedgie... Don't be afraid. I wouldn't give you any task that is impossible for you to accomplish. Like we don't have any bloody traditions, we don't have any serious tasks to offer. Trust me. So, don't worry about it. Would you promise on doing it?", Moira implied.
"I promise.", Eiffel answered after thinking deeply for a while.
"Okay, good. Now, catch!", said Moira as he threw the balloon to Eiffel. Eiffel caught it. "Saying no would be the definition of insanity. I'll be the Martyr of your mission. Now what happens? Do we find your friends first?"
"We could just record it on my phone right here. It would be less humiliating and over in a minute.", Grate suggested.
"Less humiliating, he says.", Moira mumbled as he turned around so his back is turned to Eiffel. "Okay, go ahead. Hit me as hard as you can. Got it?"
"What's the deal, Moira?", Eiffel asked casually.
"Come on, man. Save it for the future. Trust me on this... Do it!", Moira encouraged him.
"Grab the phone.", Eiffel called the shots to Grate.
"...It's recording.", said Grate. Then Eiffel hit Moira's back with the water balloon as hard as he could. It exploded and splashed as Grate took the shot.
