Chapter 76 - "Who's Maniac?."

Walking toward the gym ground, Diana kept checking out all the people around within the corner of her eyes, stopping briefly at the spot where a senior and trainees had assembled, ready to start the day section; she take a good look at each and every one of them, but none had the clue to knowing the culprit on them, they were all clean and none of them acted suspicious.

She got to the gym ground and began her daily routine workout. While running on the Mills; her thoughts were somewhere else, she thinks back to the voices she has heard since she arrived here, trying to know if this person is someone she has seen before.

She's just trying her luck, course this place is very wide. She saw new faces everyday and always wondered where they were hiding all this while.

Getting to the obstacles jump, which she started with the one higher than her knees, but has been recently attempting the ones above her waist.

It's not easy to achieve, so she started by jumping above them by supporting her weight on the obstacles before leaping. Aroma let her do with that for a while without pressure, but made her understand that she wouldn't always come across touch-able obstacles during escape from danger and all.

She understands that and has been trying to do it without touching. After trying over and over again, she finally succeeded. It was just once but at least she did, it's better than nothing, she just have to put in more effort.

...

She left for the cafeteria after taking her bath and changed into a decent clothing, which consist of a blue stretchy jean trousers and a peach colour short sleeve top, with a smiling emoticon design in front, her hair cascading behind her. She's not in the mood to style her hair as she couldn't wait to check out all the trainees, as the clue to finding the person is the lips and teeth, and they will all be present at the cafeteria at this time.

Getting inside; her eyes travel round the big hall. Even if the person is not the smiling type, he's mouth will surely be swollen this morning, there is no doubt about that, since the blood is surely from his lips that must have gotten smashed by the hit.

She walked slowly, taking a good look at all of them, but to her disappointment, none of them seem suspicious. Funny enough; they were chatting happily as they eat their food, no one seemed out of place.

"You're suffering from morning blindness now?" Beast asked as Diana got to where they sat and was still looking around, almost walking past their table.

She snapped back to her senses and smiled awkwardly, "I'm good." she said and sat down.

"You cut your hair." Zika stated. He's very attentive to his surroundings and always notice almost every changes around him.

The others noticed as well, "tsk! you guys with long hair had no idea how it hurts to see you cut them. If only I can take it from you and attach it to mine." Fatty pouted, as her hair refused to go above her shoulder, it's thick and rarely fall off, but refuses to grow longer than the shoulders length.

Beast rolled her eyes, since she understand Fatty is stylishly referring to her. She usually grumble when she saw her cut some of her hair, and now that Diana who seem to have a scary growth hair rate has joined them, Fatty will have more grumbling to do.

Listening to them, Diana felt her heart ache. It's scary, she find it scary, as they were freely being themselves without any idea that she was tasked to take out two of them. She swallowed hard on her saliva and ignored them. She ordered her food and began eating.

They asked why she looked like she hasn't been sleeping for a while now and all, like they usually did while eating. It's a bad habit to talk that much while eating but, this is the most time they get to chat and talk about things.

Diana kept brushing away their questions with a nod, but none of them seem to bother, they didn't mind it one bit and kept having their talks, but didn't ask her if something is wrong with her.

Diana suddenly recalled something, "hum guys." She called for their attention and got it as they all turn to face her. "Who's Maniac?" Diana asked.

They all look away at the same time and began eating their food. Diana look at them with a confused expression.

Zika had planned to ignore her like the rest, but saw how clueless Diana was and took a deep sigh.

"Diana, maybe you haven't gotten informed yet, but we don't talk about the boss behind him, not even in his presence unless he allowed us to. Since Aroma is your teacher and was very close to the boss, maybe you're more privileged to do so, but we are not. Don't ask questions about him from any of us again, it will only get us in trouble." Zika explained and return his attention back to his food.

The word 'boss, 'Aroma being close.' Echoes in Diana's head, and she felt her entire being shook, fear gripped her heart and her eyes started getting heavy, tears threatening to pour out so badly. "Nathan!" She exclaimed.

Fatty look at her, "who's Nathan?" she asked.

"No one," Diana said and stood up abruptly, "Bye guys." she added and left the cafeteria. Immediately she stepped out, her tears began to fall, as she ran all the way to her room.

As she was about to open the lock, she saw a white paper wrapped carefully and stuffed in between the keyhole. She looked around and gently removed it as her tears kept falling.

She wanted to dispose of it, but something tells her to check what was written on it. She unlocked the door, head in and closed it behind her. She carefully unwrapped it and read the content which stated,

'I see you looking around, trying to find me? Goodluck with that, but note that you have 2 days left. your life and Maniac's or those two girls, chose wisely. I'm watching you, don't forget that, so keep your mouth shut and do as you're ordered.'

Diana leg failed her as she crashed onto the floor. A part of her wanted to believe it was a prank but reading this made that hope crushed totally.
