CHAPTER 4 (LOKI CLEMENCE)

“Ms. Snoe?”

“What?!”

“What is this?”

“Ha?! Are you mocking my painting?! Sir. Clemence?!”

“N-no … it's just … umm … are you really into ***** guys?”

“ITS ART! ART IS ART!”

“Well … I know … but it still looks weird … why did you choose to paint this? Is there a message behind this painting?”

“URGHHH!! Why do I have to explain it to you?!”

“Cuz we're teammates and this is a group project that’s why it is normal to know why you paint this instead of those beautiful sceneries or events or abstracts with hidden messages."

“If you have any idea … let’s just take yours”

“Why? Is it that hard to explain your painting?”

“Too lazy to explain …”

“Y-your- “

“Will you please … just SHUT UP! I don’t have much time to bicker with you and explain why I paint this!”

“Such an ill-tempered young miss … Pff~ Anyway, here’s my idea.”

“A shrine?”

“Yup. And since, I’m not like you, I’m going to explain why I chose to paint this shrine…”

According to him, the reason why he decided to paint a shrine is that it was the last place he saw his parents after they abandon him when he was only 7 years old. Their family was poor and can’t afford to support him, that’s why they decided to abandon him in front of a shrine because his parents know that the lord of the shrine will surely keep him and take good care of him as their own. But his parents were wrong. Loki Clemence was seen by chance by a wealthy family who visited the shrine, the same day they abandoned Loki. They noticed Loki was crying behind a tree and was approached by the Mistress of the family. And after they knew what happened, they immediately took him and raise Loki as their own child.

“So, you’re an adopted son of the famous Clemence family?!”

“Yes, I am. But I have an older brother and we kind of … you know … we don’t get along well.”

“You don't look adopted tho ... anyway, why? Your brother I mean...”

“Thank you. Well, because our parents trust me more, an adopted son than my brother who is a pure-blooded Clemence”

“Pff~ your brother is pathetic. I'm sure your parents have their reasons. Maybe your brother is really a total jerk and your parents knew it that's why they don't trust him~”

“I don't know, but me too ... I think he's pathetic ... he even changed his name just so we can’t be known as brothers”

“What?! Hahaha. He is pathetic!! So, what’s the name of your brother and where is he?”

“Lot of questions you got there~”

“Shut up!”

“His name is Vincent Alexandre and he also studies here in Saint Vincent University”

“Never heard of him… well, I’m just new here. Though I wish to not meet him or bump into him ... since he sounded like a pain In the ass”

“He may be a pain in the *** but he is still my brother”

“You’re not wrong”

“It's already late … why don’t I drive you home Ms. Snoe”

“I-I can handle my self, Sir Loki”

“Pff~ cute … but please I am worried since its already this late. Let me drive you home just this once”

“sighIf you insist”**

People sure are good at hiding their pain, their true colors and emotions but peoples eyes never lie. And I saw right through him. It is not just because of his biological parents, the reason why his eyes are full of pain … Is it because of someone he used to love and care back in his high school days? Or I'm just imagining things? Oh well~ I don't care either way. I'm here for my own reasons.
