I Enrolled as the Villain

Morning.

I entered the academy through the back gate the old maintenance corridor tucked behind the east wing.

Arthur used to take this path.

Back when avoiding Valery uniforms meant surviving the day.

The hallway was dim and quiet. No footsteps but mine. No eyes watching.

Then i saw him

His sandy blond hair shifted in the morning breeze leaking through a cracked window.

He didn’t move at first.

Then just slightly his head turned.

Just enough to see me.

Just enough to be surprised.

This hallway... it wasn’t one people used.
