Chapter 5: Fake Files
_03_ (Jace's Point of View)
Damn!
She did it on purpose.
She didn't tell me – us, that the school their going to attend doesn't allow bodyguards. We were stopped as soon as we tried to enter the gates, looking for identification and after we showed our Police Identification and Alpha stated that we were there to serve as bodyguards, they denied us from entering.
"Alpha, ask a few fake files from the department. We're going undercover." I ordered Alpha and he immediately left
I dialed the Commissioner General's number and after a few rings he picked up.
"Sir, this is Police Detective Scott reporting and requesting permission to use fake files and go undercover as students in Red Fire Academy." I started as soon as he picked up
[And what is your reason for this request, detective Scott?] The Commissioner-General asked
"Ms. Hanazono and her friends are studying here and this school doesn't allow bodyguards, I sent Alpha Luar of the Seryphil's Armed Forces to get the fake files from our precinct." I reported
[I see, I will send my letter of approval as soon as possible then. Report to me any other step you'll make.] He said
"Roger, sir," I said and he hung up
When Alpha came back, we entered the school premises and we enrolled immediately.
Weirdly enough, the school resembles those normal universities, I had expected it to be quite different, something that will make it very different from state universities or public universities but there was nothing.
"Maybe they don't participate in school competitions." Delta Gonzales of the Seryphilian Armed Functionary
The girl at the counter seemed to have recognized us and gave us our schedule the same as the heiresses. However, that makes this place more suspicious.
The woman didn't even mind that we came with the heiresses as police officers and their bodyguards, but here we are, attending as students.
"Must be because they thought we're students, or friends of the girls." Alpha Luar said when Lieutenant Sandoval raised the same suspicion I had on our way to the designated classroom.
We may be late for morning classes but not for afternoon classes, that said, we went into the subject's classroom and we immediately spotted Lavalee Hanazono's group.
They stand out in the classroom and they look very different from everyone in the class.
"Oh, yes, what is it?" we're a few minutes behind and so, the professor is already in the class
"We're transfer students." Lieutenant Sandoval said and she looked at us for a moment before facing her students
"Alright, everyone, there are four more students to join your class this year." She said, before turning to us again
"Introduce yourself; name and age, then you may sit wherever you want." She added
"Jace Santiago, 19." I introduced myself
"Hello there, Elijah James Luar. 19 years old." Alpha Luar introduced with a smile
"Ethan Delta, 20 years old," Delta Gonzales said said
"Caspian Sandoval, 19 years old," Lieutenant Sandoval said
"What are you still standing there for? Go on, choose your seat." The teacher said
We sat surrounding Lavalee Hanazono, Jess Collin, Chelsea Lim, and Irene Lee. They didn't seem to mind our presence, if anything, only Irene Lee showed displeasure at our appearance.
When classes are over we didn't let the girls get out, they seem aware that we didn't have any intention of letting them get away with the little stunt they pulled this morning.
We escorted them to the parking lot, given that we didn't know this school's map as we didn't study it beforehand, we let them lead the way to the parking lot.
"What was that?" I asked them as soon as we arrived in the parking lot
"We didn't do anything TROUBLING." Lavalee Hanazono said sarcastically with her eyes rolling
"We told you, you can't control us." Irene Lee said with displeasure and sat on the hood of the car
"Ms. Lee, we're not trying to control you, it's just that we have a protocol to follow." Alpha Luar said
"The hell with that," Jess Collins said and rolled her eyes then clicked her tongue
She's the spoiled one.
"Well, they are just doing their jobs." Chelsea Lim said and tapped Irene Lee's thigh to signal her to get off the car's hood
"All right, we will try to act in a way that does not feel like we are controlling you, but please, don't pull another stunt like that." Delta Gonzales compromised with them
"Whatever," Jess Collins said and turned to Lavalee Hanazono
"Lav, I wanna rest." She said
"Do we have anything else to do?" Lavalee Hanazono asked
"We don't... right?" Irene asked as she leaned on the car
"Chels?" they all turned to Chelsea Lim who's now focused on her iPad
"As of now, none. But, that doesn't mean we won't have any surprise events." She replied and looked up
"I assume all of you have your own cars." Lavalee Hanazono said and crossed her arms while looking at us
"No, not all." I contradicted
"We don't have our own cars." Delta and Alpha said while raising their hands
"We rode one car." Lieutenant Caspian said
"Okay then, they can drive their assigned person's car." Lavalee Hanazono said nonchalantly and glanced at her friends
"Any complains?" Lavalee Hanazono asked her friends
"I don't mind," Chelsea Lim replied and placed her iPad in her bag
A loud ringtone took our attention, and it seem to be coming from inside the car.
"That's mine." Lavalee Hanazono said and took out her phone
"Hmm," she just hummed as replying to the person she's talking
"Of course, I miss you too." she said with a smile
"We miss you, Little Empress!" Irene Lee and Jess Collins chimed in and Lavalee chuckled
"She said she misses you too," she told her friends
"Hmm, jinjja? Okay, saranghae." She said and hid her phone again
"Let's go," she said and went inside her car
We rode our cars and this time, to be safe, we surrounded them. The drive to their mansion ended safely and went smoothly. We didn't encounter any problems along the way.
We escorted them until they arrive inside the mansion where a butler welcomed them, he also greeted us and treated us as guests, so we informed him that we are the security team sent by the country's police force.
"You guys should stay for dinner." Chelsea Lim said while descending the stairs
"That's not a problem, right, Lav?" She asked Lavalee Hanazono who descended next alongside Jess Collins and Irene Lee
"Not for me," Lavalee Hanazono shook her head while her eyes are still on her phone
"Young lady, we have prepared your supper." An aged maid arrived
"Thanks, Manang." Lavalee Hanazono replied
"Let's eat." She said and walked past us to the dining area
"Hey, Lavalee already told you guys to join, aren't you going?" Irene Lee asked us
"No, we'll be following you behind." Alpha Luar said and she shrugged her shoulders before following her friend
"Is this really just dinner?" I heard Delta Gonzales softly ask in disbelief
"This is the world of the rich, man." I heard Lieutenant Gonzales replied
"You guys should sit down," Chelsea Lim told us so we sat down
We were a bit estranged when the butlers even pulled a chair for us, so we declined their help and sat on our own.
"Itadakimasu!" Lavalee Hanazono and Irene Lee said before they began eating
"You guys should eat," Chelsea Lim said while looking at us, and only then did we realize that the girls have have started eating
We had our own worlds while eating and after eating, the maids and butlers cleaned up the cutleries and dishes that we used as we left the dining room.
They headed up the stairs while we decided to scout the mansion's perimeter for any sign of suspicious activity, vehicles, or people to ensure their safety.
We headed back inside the mansion to inform them that we will be leaving, but Lavalee Hanazono told us that they have something to tell us.
"We changed our names." Lavalee Hanazono said
"Valerie Kan." She said and showed us her school ID
"Talia Go, Irene is Blare Jang and Jess is Jira Han." Chelsea Lim said and showed her school ID
"Since we enrolled almost the middle of the school year we need to catch up," Lavalee Hanazono said and looked at Chelsea Lim who nodded
"There will be camping held next week, right?" Chelsea Lim asked and we nodded
"We will be joining, and by we, I mean Lavalee, Irene, Jess, and I." She said continuously
Actually, I was expecting that they won't be going when I saw that announcement pinned on the bulletin board when we passed by.
"But, that arrangement won't work with you guys around." Lavalee said and looked at us intently
"That said, you will also be coming with us." She added
"Everything's prepared, Lav." We heard Jess Collins say from the staircase
"Jinjja? That fast?" Lavalee Hanazono asked and looked at her descending friend
"With Ire's help, of course," Jess Collins answered while descending the staircase
Irene Lee was descending the stairs.
"What was she doing earlier?" I heard Jess Collins ask Chelsea Lim
"Sketching," Chelsea said
"We will take our leave," I said and we left.
We didn't leave actually, we just stayed outside the house; in our cars.

AMikaela_18 In Japan, saying "Itadakimasu" or "Let us eat!" before eating is a way to express your understanding of how much was sacrificed to make the meal possible as well as to express appreciation for Mother Nature.
