Chapter 5

"Hey! Are you deaf? Walk on the side, not the middle!" Amelie shifted her body and turned around.

A blonde girl yelled at her, giving her a sharp look. Amelie remained silent as she looked at the three girls in the car. They stared at Amelie from head to toe. 

"Lucy, stop, don't argue with people who don't matter," protested Julie, who was driving next to Lucy. She had brown hair and a very pretty face. 

Julie drove the car forward. As she passed Amelie, she glanced at her and then drove off. 

"Hey, I just saw her. I think she's new," Carla added, watching Amelie through the rearview mirror. Chewing gum, Carla turned to Lucy and Julie, who looked unconcerned.

"Do you know her?" Carla asked.

"Never mind, Carla, since when do you care about other people?" Julie scolded. Carla scowled, then stared ahead again.

As for Amelie, the girl shook her head after they left and continued her steps into the school. 

Amelie's small steps stopped in front of a tall and spacious building. For a moment, Amelie looked up and stared at the large building that would soon be her place of study. 

She had never thought that Amelie would attend such a popular and elite school in the city. All this time, Amelie had been studying at a small school at the end of the village near the forest. No tall buildings, no large classrooms. Without even a chair, Amelie sat on a mat with a view of the lake beside her. There weren't many students either. 

Amelie let out a sigh. She didn't look very confident.

Elsewhere, Raymond was hanging out with his friends. They were all standing in front of their cars, some of them sitting on the trunk. None of them could see the bridge of Alfie's or Jacob's nose. They were brothers, but not that close. At school, they were preoccupied with their work.

Suddenly, Raymond's eyes closed and his nose began to flare at the smell of the night before. Immediately, Raymond's eyes widened and he scanned each student who arrived. His eyes narrowed when he saw Amelie.

Amelie looked like a confused person. Celingukan watched her surroundings as she continued to walk down the classroom hallway. Raymond, seeing the girl, blinked as he looked at Amelie in surprise.

This maid, why is she here? 

That was all she could think. Raymond did not feel strange about the pheromone scent that always wafted in Amelie's presence. 

"Hi!" Amelie's footsteps stopped. Her eyes widened as Alfie crossed her path. For a second, her smile widened as she saw Alfie's presence. 

On the other side, Raymond's footsteps retreated, looking annoyed at Alfie who had preceded him.

"Hi, Mr. Alfie." 

"What!" Alfie shrugged. "Don't call me sir," he continued, disapproving of the nickname.

"But you are my master," Amelie added. 

"That's fine at home, but not at school," Alfie insisted.

Suddenly, Amelie staggered back as Alfie leaned in to bring their faces close together. For a moment, her heart began to flutter, and her heart beat faster as bad thoughts raced through her mind. 

"My friends would think it strange if you called me sir," Alfie whispered. 

Alfie sat up and smiled at Amelie. Amelie smiled nervously.

"Just call me by my name. Sir is too old-fashioned, I don't like it." Alfie said with a smile.

"Alright," Amelie replied with a stiff laugh. Alfie laughed too.

On the other side, Raymond was getting hot when he saw Alfie and Amelie together. Especially Amelie, who was always laughing with her sister. His blue eyes turned red, his tense fingers began to change until his nails became long.

Raymond could never control his rage. No matter where he was. But as he shifted, Jacob suddenly appeared, pulling his body away from the group of humans. 

Jacob's behavior of running as fast as lightning must have become a topic of conversation. However, no one noticed that the humans thought it was just the wind blowing by.

"Wow! What is that wind?" said the students who felt the wind. 

"Did you feel it?" they asked the others. "Like a tornado, but nothing," they said.

"Wait," said one of them as he looked around. "Where is Raymond?" 

They noticed that Raymond had disappeared. Now Jacob and Raymond were on the roof of the school. Jacob had chosen the roof as a place to talk because it was the safest place away from the crowd.

"Jacob!" shouted a very angry Raymond. 

"What are you doing? Why are you shifting here? You remember this is the human world," said Jacob, staring intently at Raymond. His eyes began to turn green. However, Jacob was still able to restrain himself.

"Don't interfere!" snapped Raymond. 

"If I find out, you'll be in trouble," Jacob said.

"Since when do you care?" 

 Jacob no longer spoke. It's useless to fight Raymond who is stubborn. Instead of being unable to resist Jacob chose to leave. While Raymond grumbled in annoyance. Looking down there, looking for Alfie and Amelie's whereabouts. 

"Shit! What are they talking about." 

Reymond was still watching the two of them. His face did not like seeing Alfie and Amelie who laughed together, arousing curiosity from him. Reymond didn't care about the maid. 

And for some reason, Raymond's heart was burning to see them.

"This is the headmaster's room," Alfie said, leading Amelie to the headmaster's room.  

"Thanks for taking me," Amelie said. Alfie just smiled. "I'll go in first." 

Alfie nodded. Amelie entered the room. 

"Alfie!" Alfie turned to the cute girl who had called him earlier. 

The girl ran over with a smile on her face, while Alfie just stood there, looking at her blankly. 

"Alfie, what are you doing outside the principal's office?" the girl asked.

Alfie glanced at the room and then at the cute girl in front of him. "Dropping off a friend," Alfie replied.

"Ouh...,." The girl nodded her head. 

"What's wrong?" asked Alfie, who was now looking at her intensely. The little girl handed him the letter she had been hiding behind her back. She handed it to Alfie hesitantly. 

Alfie's eyes narrowed. He stared at the letter from Viona. The girl liked Alfie, but Alfie didn't. After Viona left, Alfie threw the letter away.

"Stale!" Alfie said and left. 

Amelie came out of the headmistress' room accompanied by an old man who led her to class. Amelie entered the classroom for the first time and looked nervously at each student. Amelie was stunned, she was wide-eyed when she saw Julie, Lucy and Carla. They gave her dirty looks.

Amelie sighed, then took another step and stood next to a teacher. The old man she was with had already left to tell the teacher that they had a new student. 

"Raymond," the teacher called to the student who had just entered the classroom. Amelie looked at Raymond, her blue eyes meeting his.

"Raymond," the teacher's call woke Raymond. Raymond looked at the teacher sharply, then walked to his seat. As for Amelie, she introduced herself and then looked for an empty seat among the other students.

Suddenly, her foot tripped. Amelie fell in front of Raymond. Immediately, the class erupted in laughter. Amelie looked at Raymond who was laughing at her. Then Amelie turned to Julie, who had kicked her leg.

"Stop laughing!" her teacher snapped. "Amelie, stand up!" the teacher ordered Amelie. 

Amelie got up, straightened her clothes, and sat down on the empty bench. Unfortunately, the empty seat was next to Raymond. 

Raymond and Amelie stared at each other. Amelie's look looked like she wanted to kill, but Raymond just smiled sarcastically.
