TwistedlyMad

Your day began as if it was a normal day, waking up to the sound of your alarm and the light shining through your window. As the light hits your eyes, you use your hand to cover them and flipped yourself over, your other hand roaming around on your bed, trying to feel for something.

“Grim…” You said groggily. “We have to wake up…”

After a few seconds, you come to the realization that you didn’t feel a cat-shaped lump on your bed. Slightly alarmed, you open your eyes.

“Grim?” You called. As you looked around on your bed, you saw no outline of a familiar feline beside you.

“Grim?!” You yelled, panicking. You start to frantically flip over your sheets, looking beneath the bed and rummaging through your room, all the while yelling the feline’s name.

“Grim, this is not a funny joke!” You called out, looking under your pillows. Suddenly, you heard knocking on your door. Your mind immediately thought it was Grim, it thought that maybe Grim wandered off in the dead of night and forgot to bring the keys with him. Letting out a sigh of relief, you picked yourself off from your bed and headed towards the door. 

“Oh thank goodness, I thought you were lost Gri-” You stopped yourself mid-sentence as you opened the door to be greeted by the 3 ghosts that inhabited the same dorm as you.

“Ah, good morning (Y/N)! You’re awake.” One of the ghosts greeted you. 

“Yes, good morning… Have you guys seen Grim?” You asked the ghosts. They exchanged some mischievous glances between each other before replying to you.

“Grim? He went to campus already.” Another ghost said, shocking you.

“He did? How unusual.” You said, silently thinking of the cause. You couldn’t get much thinking done as the last ghost snapped you out of your thoughts.

“Yes, and he told us to give you this.” The ghost said, handing you something.

“A letter?” You looked at the parchment in your hands.

“Yes, read it as you walk to campus. Now hurry up, you’re going to be late!” The first ghost said again, ushering you back into your room to let you change as they floated away, closing the door behind them.

You looked at the closed door and back at the letter in your hands. ‘How peculiar.’ You thought to yourself but quickly shook off the thoughts and got ready for school.

As you walked through the school halls to your class, you read the letter that the ghost gave you.

‘To our dearest (Y/N), 

                  By the time you read this letter, you’ll be in front of Professor Trein’s class.’

You stopped reading and looked up to see that you were indeed in front of the history teacher’s class. You were quite shocked yourself, how did Grim know that you would be there? Shaking your head a bit, you continued reading.

‘Now, don’t go into the class as the professor has a meeting. Instead, go to Main Street, read the letter once you’re there.’ 

Shrugging to yourself, you looked into the classroom to find that there was really no one in the class.

‘How strange…’ You thought to yourself, since when did Grim have psychic powers? But then again, you thought of it as a coincidental event and went off to Main Street, just as the letter told you.

As you arrived, you took a look around the empty street. It was weird, usually, there would be at least one or two students buzzing here and there. Maybe a dorm leader or two lazily napping in the trees or just sitting around, studying, or even a few vice dorm leaders or dorm members chatting away, just, someone you recognize would be here. But right now, it’s as if the whole school was a ghost town. 

“Strange… Where is everybody?” You asked yourself as you slowly took out the letter and read the next paragraph.

‘Great~ You should have made it to Main Street. Now sit underneath the tree that we always hung out at.’ 

Confused, you did as the letter told. You took a seat underneath the tree that you and your friends always gather whenever you’re free.

“I don’t understand anythin-” Before you could finish your sentence, you felt something in a pile of leaves next to you. “Hmm? Something’s in here…” You muttered to yourself as you searched around the pile.

You then felt the object and pulled it out of the pile. You looked to see a small black box in your hand. Confused, yet curious, you opened up the box to see its contents. It was a bracelet? As you picked up the bracelet from the box, you realized there was more to this bracelet. In fact, the bracelet had 7 unique charms attached to it, and those 7 charms were the crests if the 7 dorms that were in Night Raven College.

Admiring the design of the bracelet, you decided to put it on. Not going to lie, it looked exquisite on you and it fitted your wrist like a glove.

Looking away from the elegant bracelet, you read the letter again.

‘Rested up? Now, come along to the cafeteria, you must be hungry.’ 

Cafeteria? Hungry? You then facepalmed yourself. Of course Grim of all people would be there, that furball is always trying to get an extra bite every chance he gets. Standing up from the tree you began mumbling to yourself as you made your way to the cafeteria.

“I swear that furball just wants to get a quick snack or something. He even went to these lengths to get me a bracelet so I’ll feed him huh? What happened to the 3 cans of tuna I gave him a few days ago?” You said to yourself and pushed open the cafeteria doors.

“Grim, if you had me go through that just to get you a snack, you didn’t have to you know? I can always buy you another can of tuna-” Before you can finish your rant, someone else cut you off.

“Another can? So you’ve already bought him tuna this week?” An all too familiar voice said. 

You snapped your head up to see to your surprise, all your friends, the dorm leaders, the vice dorm leaders, the third-years, second-years and first-years all looking at you in the cafeteria with smiles on their faces. Of course, your lovable furball was amongst them as well.

“What’re you all doing here?” You questioned them and looked around to see the cafeteria being decorated in hearts and frills? “What’s going on?” You questioned.

“Duh, we’re celebrating Valentine’s!” A well-dressed Ace replied to you, in fact, they were all well-dressed. You beamed.

“Valentine’s?”

“Yea! We once heard Grim say you didn’t celebrate Valentine's much, so we decided to throw a little something for you.” Deuce said. 

“See? I told you (Y/N) would find the bracelet.” Kalim said.

“Yes, but hiding it in a pile of leaves wasn’t really safe.” Jamil retorted back. You looked to your wrist to look at the bracelet once more.

“You mean, you guys planted this at the tree?” You asked.

“Indeed.” Riddle replied.

“So, the letter…” You trailed off.

“We all wrote it, of course, with the help of Grim.” Epel said, nudging his head at the furball when he mentioned his name.

“Fgnaaaa they wouldn’t stop bothering me if I didn’t help.” Grim said and he went back to his usual place in your arms. Your friends were clearly irked when they heard Grim say that.

“Hey! It was you who begged us to let you in on this!” Ace said back to the snickering furball in your arms. You looked around, and began laughing a tiny bit.

“You didn’t have to go through all this to celebrate Valentine’s with me, in fact, Grim’s right, I rarely celebrate it.” You smiled a bit before continuing. “I don’t really mind if it’s considered just another day.”

“Oh, but we thought since you rarely celebrate it, we’d like to celebrate it with you instead.”

“Go on, take a look.” Lilia said.

You opened the box to see 22 pieces of chocolate, each in their own little cube, decorated to match the theme of its respective dorm.

“This is…” You trailed off as you picked up one of the chocolates to have a better look.

“We each made a piece of chocolate for you.” Trey said to you as you looked through the box once more. 

“Wow, you guys, you… Didn’t have to go through all of this really.” You said, placing down the chocolate that was once in your hands back in its place in the box. You smiled at them. 

“Thank you, I’ll cherish these gifts.” You said and they smiled back at you.

“So, I’m guessing you’re our Valentine for the day?” Jack asked sheepishly.

“You did accept all the gifts we gave, surely you must.” Jade added on. You nodded your head. 

“So…” You started. “What do we do now?” You asked your friends who stood before you as they hung their heads.

“We… Haven’t really thought of an activity.” Sebek said to you. When you heard that, you were stunned a bit, before slowly laughing out.

“You think it’s funny? Let’s see you plan a surprise for us?” Leona said to you sarcastically. You quickly waved him off.

“No no, it’s just that,” You stopped a while, calming your laughing. “I see you guys are as clueless about Valentine’s as me.” You said with a giggle.

“We…” Deuce started but slowly went silent.

“Well, do you want to clean up a kitchen full of chocolate instead?” Ace pipped up. Everyone turned to look at him.

“Great, now (Y/N) knows that we didn’t do well in making chocolate too.” Epel groaned at Ace.

“It’s better than standing here doing nothing.” Ace rolled his eyes.

“Do we get to eat the chocolate?” You asked them in return.

“Only if no one put magic into it, then yea, it’s edible.” Grim said from your arms.
