THE SECRET

The part where characters come in.

Rio slowly put Blianita down.

"You should be careful next time". Rio said as he sat down on the floor, holding his hurt left shoulder.

"I - I am so sorry. Oh dear! You are bleeding. Wait. Uhm." Blianita said worriedly as she thought of a way on how to cure Rio's wound.

Blianita saw the knife and get it. She shredded her upper school uniform and tied it to Rio's arm.

"W-what are you doing?" asked Rio.

"There you are. Done. It didn't hurt a bit? now did it?" Blianita said after tying the cloth.

Rio touched his arm. "How would I know that this tying would not lead into more infection. You are always late in the class. Your knowledge of everything is so limited."

Angry eyes of Blianita were about to start but she remembered something that made her smirked. "As the saying goes, A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool".

Rio was thunderstruck. "Hey, hey, hey.. Are you saying I am a --" . 

Rio was not able to continue what he had to say when someone opened the door in the room.

"Hey there Buddy! Oh! Are you okay?" Jaspher, Rio's team mate in a basketball asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll just catch up with you later." Rio said with a straight face.

"That's just what I am about to say to you actually. Okay, see you in the court. Bye for now Nenita, the dreamy girl." Jaspher said, winked an eye and waved at Blianita and went away.

A slow smile worked its way across Blianita's face and into her eyes. "He noticed me? He noticed me? Oh dear! He noticed me! He noticed me! Finally!" Blianita said happily while jumping around.

"One more jump and I'll stab you with a knife, You're so dumb, he even called you in a wrong name." Rio said looking a little irritated.

Blianita stopped jumping with a 'whatever' look.

"Whatever negative thinker! He's just all the girls crush in school you know. Hey, How do you know it is a knife in the first place. Don't tell me-" Blianita covered her mouth with her hand as she is surprised by the thought.

"Don't work your crazy imaginations on me. I know that because Wayne our classmate is a member of a gang and I saw him before hiding a knife in there." explained Rio.

"Okay, It's good to know then." Blianita said.

The school bell rings.

"Oh! I almost forgot! Cleah is waiting for me in the library. I need to go now." Blianita said as she hurriedly go out of the room.

When can that girl learn about the importance of time. Rio thought as he followed a look to Blianita going outside the room.

Specifically calling was a sound of a smooth wind passing through the room windows bringing a single leaf that looks different from the natural. It is pear shaped yet with rainbow colors and it is glittering. It landed to Rio's palm as he is expecting to have it.

The leaf suddenly produced light with a familiar face for Rio on it.

"Master, the respected elder wanted to ask if she is ready?" Ero an elf asked.

"Not yet Ero, not now. I still need time. Her attitude makes me doubt if she is really the choosen. Tell the elder, I will inform the Kingdom once she is ready." Rio replied.

"Very well then, this message will be delivered to the elder." Ero said.

The light on the leaf went out and Rio crunch the leaf on his hand. The leaf turned into brown and the remains went with the wind.

Time is essential. She needs to learn. She needs to know. Words that runs in Rio's mind.

Another intriguing chapter. I really look forward to the day when Blianita discovers that Rio is not a friend! Betrayal is always an interesting scene. Plus what follows a betrayal is more interesting - no matter it is a graceful forgiveness or an eternal hatred. Nice story!

[wordman]

any thing with an elf or fairies gets my attention,lovely story

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You have a nice story going here. I really enjoyed the scene between the two plus he ending, where we come to know Rio is actually from the kingdom spying on Blianita was interesting to read.
This being said, I think you need to work more on your grammar and tenses. It seems off in some places.
I'll be continuing reading. A captivating story :)

Interesting chapter, Capolavoro!
The usage of the saying "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool" is apt in the story.

[JessyJacob]

I feel, I see fading love story, but son only kept his promise, for whom he came, is my responsibility, and for commitment, I want to reopen lock, though blindly/confused/mentally ill, this life is for others(him, son, and everyone else). Punishment be given to everyone, including myself, nobody escapes from it, only responsibility can reduce suffering. Now I can say, People who live for God, live for only responisibility, not for emotions, concluding by saying, a God's life is celibacy only, living like Cobra(responsibility), not with evil life as of Anaconda(destruction).

No wonder, till now I havent seen you saying I Love you.

[Surya]

That's cool, and time is crucial, one cannot ignore...

This bit - Rio said as he sat down on the floor while holding his left shoulder as it is hurting.

Change it - Rio said as he sat down on the floor, holding his hurt left shoulder.

This bit - Blianita said worriedly as she think of a way on how to cure Rio's wound.

Change to word 'think' to 'thought'

This bit - Jaspher said, winked an aye
'aye' should be 'eye'

This bit - Blianita said happily while jumping.
Add the word 'around' onto the end of the sentence to give it more impact.

The above are just guidelines and are there to help, and are in no way disrepectful towards your writing. Do with my comments as you wish. Also when you do the dialogue, it doesn't have to be in bold.
I did enjoy the piece, it felt a sweet and innocent read. A far away world compared to the stuff what I do.
But do keep writing, I always enjoy your work.

Mark.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Done. Done. Done. Thank you as always Mark. Oh yeah. I will. I just like putting it in bold though. Lol it is easier for me. :)

[matrixmark]

No problem. I look forward to reading more.
