I heard a knock on the door, so I immediately put back the box in my drawer. "Who is it?"
"It's me. Father said that we should go visit mom's grave now."
That was Will's voice. "Fine," I said as I went out of my room and followed him from behind. Since we won't be spending too much time here, we need to visit mom's grave as soon as possible before dad gets forced to go back to his office again. My brothers are also workaholics, so they probably wouldn't stay long.
"Wait, I'm going to change clothes first." That was the excuse I said after realizing that I hadn't had a change of clothes ever since our flight. "There's no way I could face mom looking like a mess."
I changed into
I picked up the call. "What do you want?" "Lili! Why are you with Leon! I saw the picture he sent in the group chat." I looked at Leon after hearing Kyros say that, but he averted his gaze and whistled as if he was not involved. "Don't tell me! You're going on a date with Leon?! I thought you'll be—" "Don't jump to conclusions, idiot." That made Kyros stop. Why does it feel like he's pouting right now? I could definitely imagine the look on his face right now. "Hey, tell him the truth," I told Leon, but he just laughed it off. "What? Li
I called my father upon arriving at the airport after boarding the plane back home. He told me to wait for our driver to pick me up, and that's what I did. It didn't take long until our driver arrived and took me to the Okami Complex as he should."Thank you." I thanked the driver as I got off the car and went towards the Okami Complex's gate. "Why does it feel too quiet?" I opened the gate and walked towards the main door.I tried to open it by turning the doorknob, but unexpectedly, it was locked. "That's weird." I pulled my keys from my bag and opened the door. The empty living room and silence greeted me. It's weird, but I didn't bother because I don't know if the other tenants have other plans.That's what I thought, but as soon as I steppe
Kyros tilted his head. "You're going to rest now, right? I want to sleep with you."S-So that's what he meant with sleep?I gained back my composure as I nodded. "Fine. Just don't be too loud." Kyros smiled so wide after that.I told him that I'd be taking a quick bath first since I felt sticky because it was hot outside. It's still the middle of the afternoon, and it's too hot. I should have told Kyros to turn on the air conditioning in my room.After taking a bath, I was about to go back to my room, but to my surprise, I bumped into Astraea, who looked like she had gotten back from someplace. "Ea? You're back?"Astraea blushed
My forehead creased. "Tiffany stinks? Do you mean like she didn't take a bath or something close?" Kyros shook his head. "No. I feel weird about her. Like she's something evil." After hearing that, my interest in what he was talking about vanished. "You know, you shouldn't be rude to anyone just because you feel weird about them. It's not like Tiffany's doing something bad to you, right?" This made Kyros nod. "You'll behave now, would you?" He nodded again. "Okay, let's go back now." The day continued per usual, except for the fact that Tiffany's following me around. It might be because I'm the only one she thinks she could rely on, and it doesn't really bother me that
"What?" Mitch pleaded with all his might. "You don't have a club yet, right? "Uh-huh." Mitch smiled. "Then join us." "I didn't join any club because it's troublesome. So, why would I join—" "Lili!" Mitch cut me off, which made me realize how on edge he was. "Please, just go with us later for the meeting, then decide." He said as if I should do what he wanted. This causes me to raise an eyebrow. What I hate the most is people telling me what I need to do. Mitch noticed this, and he started pleading nicely again. "Please? We really need a
The laughs continued until I heard those girls leave the restroom. "Assholes," I muttered as I reached for the toilet paper and wiped the strange liquid covering my face. When I opened my eyes, I was bewildered after seeing the red paint they poured all over me. "Those jerks! What did I even do to them?" I grunted as I tried to wipe all the paint using the toilet paper, but it wasn't enough. How the hell would I leave like this? "Those girls are really asking for it." I angrily threw the last toilet paper in the trash bin inside the cubicle. "I've been lenient to their childish actions, but this makes me feel so angry." Maybe it's due to my period— but who cares?! They still need to be taught some lessons.
Would you look at that? I think I'm the unluckiest person in this classroom. Are you fucking kidding me? What great timing is this?There's nothing I could do but stay still in my seat while waiting for Mr. Aguilar to arrive near me. "Miss Costas? This textbook clearly doesn't belong to you." The cold tone he used caused the atmosphere to turn grim.Mr. Aguilar trudged to the front while holding onto Mavis's textbook that I had just borrowed."Mister Krueger, would you please read the name of this textbook's owner?" He made Jackson stand up, and Jackson, who's wholly terrified, immediately read the name aloud."Mavis Clair Bolton."
The class ended, and I went to the part-time job I got. Ea was the one that introduced me to it, and I'll be interviewed today. "I hope I can start as soon as possible."Ea patted my back. "I'm sure you'll get it."We arrived at the cafe. The manager interviewed me, and it wasn't that hard at all. Although I don't have any experience working before, the manager said that we could work on it anyway as long as I do my best."I'll be talking with the manager first, okay?" Ea tapped my shoulder. "You should get a drink."I nodded and did what Ea told me. This cafe's quite far from the academy so I won't be meeting any students there, which is excellent. The atmosphere's relaxing to
