Reaching her room, Layla saw a lock hanging on the door. She took out the keys and inserted one of them into the hole of the lock. After twisting the key and removing the unlocked lock, she entered. As soon as she opened the door, the pink zone in her room greeted her first. She went to her bed, thinking how many shades of pink this room has and how much pink tax Opal is paying.
Just then Opal entered, she was smiling. Layla found her smile beautiful yet silly. "You're back. I thought you might take time." She asked meaningfully.
Layla found it a little strange as her question was not making any sense to her. "Why you thought so?" she asked without beating around the bush.
Seeing her straightforward attitude, Opal decided to be honest. "Umm… I saw you with Ryan. So, I thought…" Opal was scratchin
‘Gosh, why the hell am I like this? Ever since I met him, I feel like I’m acting petty, more than before. Just because of him, I said that in the canteen that day. Things could have gone wrong that day. I almost ruined it. I should have apologized but…Even right now I could have answered without trying to make any fuss but no…, arghh. Those letters and those petty threats among them were really pushing my buttons. I just-I should’ve asked him to deal with them.’ Layla read some of them out loud in the room but she didn’t tell anyone about the little threats written for her and some for Lani by some idlers.‘But why the hell am I so irritated by him? Was it because of how he behaved in the class, or the question he asked in the canteen irritated me? Well, it's not like his looks can threaten me. Was it because o
Layla opened the door loudly and dashed inside. Zou Haoran was behind her.Her eyes landed on Lani. "Your club is sure, something." She spoke sharply.Lani was bewildered by this. She had no idea what Layla was talking about but her angered face was telling her that something serious happened. Questions on questions were popping in her head but before she could ask something, someone else did."What happened? Say it clearly." Ryan frowned.She took a deep breath shoving her anger aside. If not, she might end up saying something she shouldn’t. "I found out that Olivia is being bullied not only by her peers but by unrelated people too. There is a rumor going around. And guess what I found it came from a member of your club.
The door was opened.Lani entered. The redness in her eyes was still there.She sat on her bed with puffy cheeks and a down mood."Why didn't you suspect me?" She would be too stupid if she couldn’t tell something like this when she lives with the same girl day and night.Layla was silent for a second. She didn’t expect her to ask this question. “Because I know you.” Like you know me."Are you alright now?" She looked at her red eyes.Lani raised her hand to rub the corner of her eye. “Yeah.”"You should try to cry
Layla's muscles were still twitching from anger, aroused by all the information provided by Heath. She was furious that someone was taking advantage of them for their own selfish goal."Where… are we going?" Heath asked in a low voice."Abduct someone." She said, with no intention of using softer words. Her anger was apparent in her voice."Then-then, can I leave now?" He didn't want to know whatever she wanted to do even the slightest. He just wanted to go away from her… from them. After all, it wasn't fun at all. In fact, it felt the opposite; dangerous and suffocating."Don't you even dare to think about it!" He felt as if her eyes were throwing fire to burn him.This time, she sent Zou Haoran to trick two gi
With her hands busy carrying a stack of papers, Layla entered. She put the papers on the table and turned to the president. "We need to sort these out."Before Ryan could say anything to dodge this responsibility, she opened her mouth. "Teacher specifically asked us to do it. No excuses." He sighed."Asking for the secretaries' help is not a crime." Even though he was saying this yet his hands were already working to arrange the mess she had brought with her."True. But, I'm not ready to shoulder others' mistakes." Layla hates to be scolded especially when it's not her mistake. She looked at him. “Even if it's for a small matter.” He knew it thus without saying anything else he silently kept arranging them.Those papers contain the basic information of
Zou Haoran was on his way home. He was returning from the boys' hostel after meeting Caleb. He decided not to spend his time there till it's time to close the gates. Right now, he was passing through a familiar street where he met her yesterday. Unknowingly, his eyes started to look for a familiar figure. That's when he saw her... again. Like two previous days, today also Layla was passing from there. His instincts were telling him that there is something making her visit again and again. After all, once or twice can be a coincidence but not every time can be a coincidence. This time he decided not to go and see her. But, he wanted to know what made her come here. He was curious to know her secret and he was eager to discover her secret. He had a feeling that her presence would only make it interesting… little by
The next morning, Opal woke up nearly at the time of breakfast. She slept late last night so she was compensated with some hours of sleep in the morning. She fluttered her eyelashes before picking her mobile lazily to check the time. She was shocked to see that it was already a quarter to eight. It shooed away all her drowsiness. She sprung on her feet and went to the bathroom hurriedly.When she came from the bathroom, she saw that Layla and Lani both were awake but were moving lazily. They looked slower than a tortoise."You don't want to have breakfast?" Doubtful, she asked. She wasn't sure whether had any other plans or was simply planning to skip the morning meal."Relax *yawn*""On Sundays, the warden acts a little... lenient." Lani yawned before continuing,
It already has been 5-6 days since Opal has started living in the hostel. She has blended a lot with the vibes here, yet there were still some things that still keep bothering her. Like right now, she had been struggling with her dirtied clothes.She never had the idea that the manual work of servants could be this much hard. It looks like that coming here also made her see usual things in a different light. After all, as a pampered princess she never came across something like this before."Layla" she called. Her voice was light, a hint of embarrassment was mixed into it."Hmm…"Opal opened her mouth, sucked some air. “That… Can you help me?” She looked at Layla’s face.When she saw that Layla
