Daniel Jupiter (Episode 2)

[Pains]

That evening he was faced with a good and a bad thing. The good thing is: X did not really push him away, Daniel just needed to be considerate with someone else's privacy. The bad thing is: he wants to reveal the truth to Rondo but Kristy successfully stopped her.

Daniel's reason for revealing himself is that he does not want to succumb to his past any longer. He wanted to be transparent on what he feels. He wanted to make Rondo notice that he likes him. But Kristy has her own reasons. It's because Daniel has been in this issue a lot of times. Kristy warned him of his past with Marcus Aurelius and Viscount Janus. So Daniel resolved on constraining himself first.

Weekend. As usual, Daniel is in front of his beloved computer he named Niki. It was a typical boring day for him: updating social sites, reading spoilers of his favorite show, visiting some forums, downloading movies, and chatting. It was chatting that was his most favorite... until now. He ignores the fact that he had weird emotional outputs when it comes to chatting, but given a conversation that he saying what to him is true but he was dismissed, he banged Niki. He hates himself for talking too much. He now hates speaking the truth.

In short, Daniel is looking forward for Monday to come.

Or maybe not. His mouth keeps on ca-hooting that he yet, said, another thread of wrong words.

Yes, mood swing it is.

Then comes Monday and the series of academic days for that week. There was a talk by their home college about mentoring and intellectual property rights but Daniel and his friends shoot away before the open forum part of the program has been started.

Daniel, Kristy, and Omega ate at an ice cream store: Daniel's treat for being a Dean's Lister. There they talked about Kristy's problem about her "sex-maniac stalker" Mach I, about Viscount Janus, and about the largest three divisions of their batch. As they discussed that, Daniel came to realize that the factions were the "goody two-shoes" group, the "party-till-midnight" people, and the "whining back-biters". The three of them belonged to the first group and Omega, by her powers of intuitive precognition, said to them that the other two groups were annoyed with the first one. He also realized that he was the easiest one among them and Omega was the hardest one to find "imperfections".

With only three to four hours of sleep, Daniel woke up Tuesday morning. As he sees their table, he saw that only a few slices of bread were left. He decided to eat a little then eat at school.

Another school day, another round. Having problems with computer, reciting most of the time, falling asleep while gaping at his sensei, and a hardcore homework that was never done.

He had issues with this assignments because he thinks he can't solve it. Even solving on an empty room's blackboard won't help, but he envisioned himself doing his thesis.

The next day, 11AM. He's should have been waiting for a ride to his school but since his parents were out for the meantime, and since he was a horny rabbit at that time, he did his deeds and left by around quarter to noon.

He decided to have lunch at a Mexican-inspired fast food and ate. Much to his surprise, he thought he was running late so he hailed a cab. Much to his surprise, yet again, he's still not late. In fact, he still had plenty of time before his Foreign Language class. In short, he wasted precious amount of money.

Later that afternoon, Kristy yet again shared her problems about Viscount Janus and a certain pervert named Mach I. Daniel advised her some things but after that, he is thinking how to raise his guard since he is also involved with her problems regarding those two, especially the viscount.

The next day, he drank beer when he got home from school. He thought that drinking that time is okay since his class tomorrow is in the afternoon and he thinks he is depressed. After a few hours, he can't sleep due to excessive headache and eyesore.

The pain persisted the next day, even on his class. He was plain lucky that the recitation given to him was too easy.

He thought a lot that noon. Kristy, again, confided to him about her problems with Mach I. Then, he thought about the viscount. He thinks it's time for him, Kristy, and Janus to talk about certain things. But he's putting himself to dilemma if everything went alright...
