Monday. The birds were chirping happily outside to the fine weather. The sky was very clear. Nevertheless, probably due to the incident last Friday, the scheduled School Fest was pushed back to a later date. This had been declared last Friday as a form of respect to the dead teacher. They couldn't be pushing forward a school festival at this time, right? That would not make anyone feel merry. It was also utter disrespect to someone who just died.
A group of students had just come out of the computer laboratory and was on the way back to the classroom when they passed by the bulletin board.
Wendy noticed that Sofony stopped in front of the bulletin, her friend was blankly staring on it. The girl sighed. She assumed that Sofony had yet to believe what happened to one of their best teachers and that was why she still had a lost expression in front of the charts depicting the Faculty tree.
"Teacher Agatha is no longer around. They removed her picture and name on the Faculty tree."
Sofony sighed and turned around. She faced Wendy then shook her head in dismay. It was not about that. She was just caught unprepared by the system's new task.
'So it's not just material for me... The system planned this from the start. For me to leak it to people and make Felicity the laughingstock and living scandal of the school...'
For what purpose, she asked herself... Is this what true immorality was like? Doing things out of the blue, for no rhyme or reason, like how the system tasked her to let herself be raped by someone she didn't know as a first mission? Sofony suddenly felt her skin crawl.
Last night when she checked the recordings from all of the devices, she learned that Floyd had fled somewhere. She didn't listen anymore once the device allowed her to assure that Floyd was now far away. However, Sofony made sure to take note of his current location since she planned to reveal it to the police. As for Chris, he was seething in rage and talking out his anger for both Floyd and quite a bit for Wendy to his cat Fel, as usual. Through him that Sofony actually discovered that Floyd was the prime suspect to Agatha Geere's murder.
And about Felicity...
'System, are you angered when Felicity defended Floyd when Wendy confronted her yesterday?'
<System: Oh? Do you think I care about that one? No, girl. I'm teaching you immorality. You have to learn how to share porn, not to hoard it, 'coz that's immoral. Hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing how people will react to it. Imagine, you'll be ruining many lives! First and foremost, Felicity is excluded because hers is long destroyed. But think of the many guys who will suddenly turn wolves once they watch her porn material. What if they couldn't control themselves and they have a girl next to them that they could push down? Hehe. You would be the prime culprit if there happens to be some teachers and students suddenly fucking girls or boys due to having watched Felicity's porn.>
'...Are people that stupid, with sperm as brain juices?'
She ignored the system and walked back to the classroom together with Wendy. The morning classes were far from over.
When lunch break came, Sofony naturally sat with Clea and Wendy at the cafeteria, and there were others sharing the table with them. After eating, she excused herself from her friends and started looking for Felicity. The videos were still sitting on her memory card. For now, she planned to speak with Felicity. The main task was still not completed, and she was really running out of time. And actually, the reason the progress was so scarce was due to her reluctance to do it.
Who was Felicity's real beloved?
Sofony suspected it was Chris.
And Chris was also in love with Felicity.
If so, then why should she go third-wheeling in between them? This greatly perplexed Sofony.
'It is a mess, really. I don't know what is love because Gio and I are not in that kind of pure relationship. But I think their situation is much messier than mine... If their feelings are mutual, that is.'
Through the listening device, she discovered that Felicity was currently inside her classroom. Felicity was in Section F. Coincidence that her name starts with the letter of her section. When Sofony appeared on the doorway of the section, a few people noticed her immediately.
Sofony saw her target. Felicity was sitting next to the window, and her head lowered. She walked towards Felicity's desk and listened as the girls next to the target consoled her about the breakup. She even heard one of the girls saying that Felicity should be happy because the bad boy broke their ties in his own accord.
'He and this girl broke up?'
Sofony seemed to not recall ever hearing about this from the past recording. Shaking her head inwardly, she flashed a smile to Felicity when she stood before her.
"Hi, good day. Friends, can you let me borrow Felicity for a while?"
Four people gathered around the girl. Three returned her greetings but one of them warily asked. "What do you need to talk about with her? If it's regarding that jerk, then please don't bother Felicity. They broke up last Friday."
"No. It's something else."
"Something else? Not about how that jerk Floyd harrassed you?"
"You're not here to make things difficult for Felicity, are you?
Felicity signaled to her friends and looked at Sofony with a small smile. "I'm okay. Let's go. It's an honor for me to have a campus queen to talk to me."
Sofony glanced apologetically at her and her friends before ushering Felicity outside. The place they chose was a deserted staircase.
"What is it? Did Wendy tell you to do this?"
Her brows furrowed at Felicity's words. "Wendy is not at all related to why I seek you out."
"Oh?"
Sofony nodded and said, "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
Felicity gave her a bitter smile. "I asked 'coz your best friend practically interrogated me yesterday. She said Floyd is a suspect. But I don't know. He's broken up with me already. I don't even where he is."
"I'm sorry to hear that. But don't worry, it's not about Floyd. It's something else; like what I assured your friends before I took you away from them."
She took the initiative to sit on the stairs, then she motioned Felicity to take the spot next to her. Felicity unceremoniously did. The girl sat down and hugged her knees.
"Felicity, to be honest, I don't know how to begin about this."
The other girl didn't respond as she had no clue what Sofony was getting at. Sofony sighed then stared at the girl next to her. She thought the other party was really beautiful. This girl could have had a beautiful future, a faithful lover, a nice life.
'Why are you destroying yourself?'
Sofony wanted to ask. She badly wanted to. But she knew she couldn't.
'Come to think of it, Felicity doesn't seem to be a bad person. It's just that she is like that. And she's hanging out with bad guys.'
Complicated feelings arose from her eyes as she looked at the girl. The mission task and the current side mission crossed her mind. It was hypocritical of her to do this, to talk with Felicity, given the fact that no matter what, she would spread the videos and destroy the other... But she couldn't control her impulse. Her conscience acted up. It said, 'At least talk to her. Why should she be destroyed? You have to at least find a justification.' That's what it was telling her.
But how it could be justified?
She felt so vexed.
No matter how dirty Felicity's body was, Sofony couldn't find a reason to do all of this to her because she was not that tainted, at least Felicity's fault was only not having a controllable body. Or was she only like this because she herself had already lost the moral ground advantage of being virgin and was sympathizing with Felicity?
'Is that already a ground to make her life worse than death? She's just sleeping with people. Not killing them, nor stealing from them.'
<System: She's destroying herself. And only herself. That's it. Hey. Why are you so stupid to think first of others? Think of your future, dear. What will happen if it's your videos that got shared with everybody? Or is that what you really want? Oh, my system! Should I change the name in the task now?>
Sofony closed her eyes in anger. Precisely because she could imagine what would happen if it's hers that she was being like this!
