“Yeah! One moment!”
Zella was eating when she heard the bell ring and dashed over, believing it was the courier delivering the package of helmets she had bought. When Zella unlocked the door, she saw a square cardboard box wrapped in black bubble wrap. Zella scowled in surprise, as it was unusual for a courier to make a delivery like this; usually, the courier would deliver the parcel to her directly. She squatted down and observed that the box showed her name, not the sender's address. Zella carried the box into the boarding house and used a razor blade to open it. Her eyes widened as she unlocked the cardboard door, revealing not the helmet she had requested but a blood-stained black chicken carcass and a blood-stained photo of an unknown individual. Zella screamed loudly, reflexively throwing the box away. Their faces were deathly pale; her eyes stared in shock at the cardboard. “Zella! What’s wrong with you?” With a worried expression, Lily approached Zella, who was cowering, her body trembling in fear. “Zella? You heard me. What’s wrong with you?” Lily shook Zella’s body, awakening the girl. “Lily....” Zella's pale face gazed at Lily as she tightly hugged her best friend, her hands trembling as she pointed at the cardboard box. Curious, Lily followed the girl's direction; she briefly released Zella's hug before walking towards the cardboard box. Lily's eyes were wide-eyed, and simultaneously, her stomach churned violently, nearly bursting at the sight before her. “Tell me, who is this from?” snapped Lily angrily. Zella shook her head in ignorance. Lily let out a rough sigh, rubbing her furious face. Then, I hugged Zella tightly. “Okay, you just calm down. We report this to the police station, and you calm down, okay? The culprit will be caught.” Zella remained silent, simply nodding and giving Lily a tight embrace. She calmed herself, still trembling with fear. Her life had always been safe and peaceful, but this was the first time she had experienced such terror. In front of the police station, Zella then held Lily’s hand. “Wait!” Lily turned her head and frowned in surprise. “Why?” “I changed my mind.” “What does that mean?” Lily raised her eyebrows in incomprehension. Zella thought for a moment, trying to find the perfect sentence. “I’m sure I can take care of it myself; I don’t want to deal with the police. Lily, I can move to another place, and chances are the guy who terrorized me won’t know my new boarding house. While I can still handle it, we should go to campus.” “But Zella, are you sure? Lily hesitantly said, "This is too much terror for you, especially since you're my best friend." Zella smiled, holding Lily with confident eyes. “Don’t worry, Lily; I can handle it.” Lily sighed heavily, then looked at Zella sharply. “Okay, but next time that guy comes back to terrorize you again, tell me! I’m a boxer, after all; let me beat that guy up with my fists.” Zella chuckled amusingly. “Even laughing, I’m serious here.” Lily puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. “Okay, sorry.” Zella showed two fingers, a sign of peace. Since the start of the trip, Lily had remained silent in the car until they reached the Spienza University campus in England. Zella was about to get off, but Lily immediately held her hand. “Oh yeah, I’ll be honest; I’ll introduce you to my boyfriend. Are you curious? You won’t believe this.” Lily took a deep breath, squeezing Zella’s hand. "So... I... got a chance with that guy. We have been dating for a month now. I apologize for only discussing it now." “Seriously?” Zella was wide-eyed, covering her mouth in disbelief. Lily nodded enthusiastically. Zella laughed, teasingly nudging Lily's arm. “Why all the secrecy?” "He wanted to keep our relationship a secret for a while!" I’m afraid he’s just playing with my feelings, but you know what? "He took me to the beach and gave me this ring... take a look," Lily exclaimed, gesturing to the gold ring in her hand. "He doesn't mind if people publicize our relationship." “That’s great; I’m curious. Who is he?” Zella’s enthusiasm was impatient. She guessed the identity of her best friend's boyfriend. Lily’s brightly smiling face changed instantly. Zella saw Lily’s sharp gaze, frowning in confusion; she waved her hand in front of her best friend’s face, but there was no reaction. “Lily, what’s wrong with you?” “It hurts, Lily!” Zella gasped, feeling her hand being squeezed firmly. She was about to pull her hand away, but somehow, her best friend’s strength was many times over. Before she had time to curse at her best friend, her hand was immediately pulled strongly. Lily immediately bumped into a student chatting with a man wearing a blue suit. It seemed that the girl was given a water bottle and food supplies. However, due to Lily's actions, which caused her to bump into the girl, the food supplies and bottles of drinks were immediately thrown to the ground. Viola looked sharply at Lily. Viola was about to curse but stopped when, without hesitation, Lily immediately pulled Viola’s hair firmly. Zella was wide-eyed, surprised by Lily’s boldness. “Lily! Already!” Zella fretted, trying to pull her best friend away, but Lily tightened her grip even more. “Alright, don’t do that. Let go, Lily.” A man's gentle voice seized Lily's hand. Lily immediately stopped her tugging, changed her facial expression in a split second to let go of Viola's hair, and turned to look at the man beside her with a frown. “Honey, he’s the wrong one. It’s my own fault for getting close to my boyfriend,” Lily whined in annoyance, stomping both feet. Damian smiled gently, arranging Lily’s messy hair and looking at her warmly. “Never mind.” “What?! Lover?” Viola stared in disbelief. Lily instantly turned around, glaring at Viola fiercely. “Yeah! Why?! Can’t believe it?! Look!” Lily rudely displayed her ring, along with the one on Damian's finger, in front of Viola. Viola gave a perfect glare, shocking not only herself but also Zella and the students gathered after hearing about their fight. Lily gave a lopsided smile, looking at Viola triumphantly. Viola looked at Damian, asking for answers, while Damian, without saying much, told her with a gesture of grabbing Lily’s waist and hugging her. As if justifying. Lily received this treatment while looking down and blushing. Viola’s eyes glazed over, holding back the tears about to spill, then she turned and ran away crying. “It’s your own fault for being flirtatious with someone’s boyfriend.” Lily folded her arms and mockingly stared at the woman. "Honey," Damian whispered in Lily's ear. Lily snorted rudely and turned her head away. “I’m not wrong! He’s wrong!” “Okay.” Damian smiled warmly as he fixed Lily’s messy hair. Ten minutes had passed, and the two couples were still making out in front of this single person. Zella rolled her eyes lazily and turned to leave Lily, who was still lost in her own world. Zella accidentally bumped into a man in the school hallway, causing the book in her hand to fall to the floor. Zella stared at the man; instantly, her eyes widened in surprise. “You?!”The man glanced at the girl in front of him coldly and haughtily for just a second and then left without apologizing.Zella snorted in annoyance, watching him. With an irritated heart, she picked up the books scattered on the floor, went to the library for a while to return them, and then returned to class. At that moment, the bell rang to signal the entrance.At the doorway, Zella saw Lily smiling to herself like a crazy person. A prank idea crossed her mind; she slowly approached and kicked the desk hard.“Fuck!” Lily almost tumbled backward. She would have fallen if it hadn’t been for the table behind her.Zella laughed out loud. Lily gave Zella a sharp look, and seconds later, she opened her book and covered her face with it.“What are you doing? You’re covering your face with a book.” Zella hadn’t realized that a few seconds ago, Lector had come and was watching her.“WHO IS THAT LAUGHING?!”Suddenly, Zella’s body stiffened, heart beating fast. Zella swallowed her saliva with di
On Saturday, December 26, 2024, a girl on a bed clucked irritably at the wall clock showing 9:00 am while class started at 8:45 am. She overslept due to the rain last night and was sick all night.Zella quickly took a shower before heading to the campus. Zella saw police cars and ambulances parked in front of the campus.Usually bustling with people passing by, the atmosphere in front of the campus is quiet.Zella furrowed her eyebrows once more as she glanced at the calendar on her cell phone, and sure enough, she was correct. There should be an exam now; why would she bother entering the campus while still feverish if she did not take the exam?Zella was about to step inside, but a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her to a deserted warehouse with no one around.“Lily, why did you pull me?” Zella stared in surprise at the unusually agitated girl in front of her.Just look at her; her face was so agitated that she closed the door hastily and repeatedly looked at the window to make sure
With her eyes tightly closed and her face flushed, Zella firmly squeezed her dress with such deep emotion that she felt compelled to explore the world and everything within it.Although seemingly closed and beautiful, the black dress incites her intense anger and desire to tear it apart and burn it to the ground.It was the first time in her life that she felt this constrained. I'm not sure if the man, who disguised his name as Cale, knew that his campus was hosting the 50th anniversary of Spienza University at night.The man arbitrarily told him to wear the black dress he gave him and arranged for him not to be close to any man, even touching the slightest skin of another man, or the man did not hesitate to finish off any man who intentionally or unintentionally touched him. So that he wasForced to wear gloves. She was compelled to wear gloves.She was really fed up! I'm so sick of it!Zella sat at the very back, watching her friends chat and show off their looks to each other. In t
Lily didn't answer until the tenth call, and Zella blocked her social media accounts.Zella released a frustrated breath and threw herself onto the bed, unsure what to do. She recalled the meals and beverages she had taken.She wasn't entirely innocent; there must have been some stimulants mixed into her food and drinks. Her body experienced intense sensations of blistering and excitement, which caused her to lose her mind.Zella tapped her head with her hand as she began to think. “Come on, what did I drink and eat?”She didn't drink or eat anything other than the lemon tea the waitress offered, and she didn't drink anything else after that.Zella abruptly awoke from her slumber, recognizing something. She opened her laptop and typed quickly to find a hacker. She spent a little more money, but it was worth it to maintain her excellent reputation and avoid ruining their friendship.Got it!!! Upon receiving the video from the hacker service, Zella observed a female waitress receiving m
