As I stood hidden by the wall, I could discreetly see the physics teacher and the art teacher together by the restricted side of the campus! Daniel told me this is the place…
Dang…should I blackmail them with this to protect me from Lioren?
The physics sir smiled warmly at her, as he leaned in towards her. She looked shy as she looked away.
I blinked as it occurred to me, wasn't Sir Alphon married?
Geez…upon seeing their clingy and intimate scenes.
Something stirred within me…in my previous life my dad had cheated on my mom several times, I still remember watching her cry every night in the bathroom. I felt down again. As my heart ached…
I hope mom is happy now.
I did let go of the past, I didn't have time to think about it at all. But if I have to say, I wish my dad would cry for me if I died…I wish he would look for me if I went missing…I wish he would not just ignore my existence like always…
But what's the point?
Kia's dad's face flashed in my mind. My mind has been a turmoil of emotions ever since I came here. It felt surreal,cruel and bad.
How would Kia's dad feel when he learns I am not his daughter? In fact his daughter was never real? Just a shell programmed for the female lead's story. My grip on my skirt tightened.
In moments like this I feel broken..too weak to move on… just when I felt my hands tremble,
"...Hey…it's ok", comforted the Settings. It sounded awkward. As I felt my lips move upwards. I wiped my tears. It was enough for me to cling to sanity for now.
Yes, it's ok. It's sometimes better to be delusional until it actually becomes OK. I felt lighter , in this world I do have some people around me like Kia's dad,Jia, Roland…
Suddenly, I felt a light tap on my shoulders. I looked back to see Daniel's blind smile.
Uhhhh.. thank god he is blind…I don't want anyone to see my tears.
I said ,"Stop smiling like an idiot".
He took out the signed assignment as I instantaneously grabbed it from him and went ,"Oh My God! Thanks! Oh…man I am so grateful!"
He smiled, as he said ,"...Yeah…yeah..sure…". For some reason it felt weird, this guy is always too confident and flippant. I gave him a skeptical look. But why is he acting nervous?
I could see cold sweats on his forehead, I sighed as I scanned the assignment again but I found nothing suspicious…maybe he is just built like among us?
I gave him a quick energetic tap on the shoulder as I said ,"Good day soldier" before leaving to find the devil.
I walked through the hallways like a zombie. I don't know, maybe some sort of specific chains were tied to my ankles making me extra slow.
"Yeah, it's called laziness", commented the Settings.
Hey aren't you random? Like get out dude. No one asked alright! Alright!!
"Is this how you will treat your sole comforter woman!", grimaced the Settings.
Uhhhh…idiot.
The guy was sitting there casually as if he hadn't made the past three days of my life a wreck. With heavy steps I entered the classroom. Unsurprisingly, that dude didn't even look at me.
I kept the assignment on his desk. As I coughed. Just then he decided to look from his phone. With one swift move the assignments were in his hands. As he lazily glanced at the sign.
Before his lips quivered upwards, he finally looked at me ,"Faking signs is so old school"
Huh?
HUH?
HHHHUUUUHHHHH!?
Haha watch me fly to the sun guys bye bye~~
[Please stand by…we will be here shortly. KIAAAAAAAAAAA!]
Did the sky fall on top of me?
Did I get electrocuted?
DID I GET SWALLOWED BY LAVA?!
Now I see why that prick looked unusual, I shouldn't have…trusted DANIEL!
"Good junior, I can see the effort you put in this. The copy of the sign seems almost identical if it weren't for the fact that he always writes 't' normally ", said Lioren pretty calmly.
I glanced at him as I had my head hung low. He flicked the assignment aside as he said almost too demanding as if I owe him this," Get the real deal".
Even though he was the one sitting, his posture and smug eyes made me feel like I had committed treason and got caught in the foolish way possible.
"You see, Senior I always give my best in everything. Everyday I wake up with a motivation to get work done. I thoroughly appreciate working hard and harder is essential for the meaning of life. For exampl-"
He cut off my nonsense.
" Alright speaking crap seems like your speciality. How dare you waste my time with your bs?", roared Lioren
Oh shit…he is pissed.
He glared at me so infuriatedly I heard someone playing coffin dance…or maybe it's in my head…
"...Senior…look behind you! Oh my!", I yelped. Pointing behind him desperately. I had put all my experience in manipulating bullies in high school to this moment.
Look back, look back, look back, look back.
He remained stoic, his glare kept on being directed at me.
"Do you think I am so naive to fall for that shitty stunt?", he spoke through gritted teeth.
I smiled, as I said ,"maybe-no I mean of course not.there was…umm..something. Senior I think something is wrong…you see I think you are cursed"
He kept quiet. As I took this chance to continue ,"Yes, what I saw just now seems pretty…dangerous. Do you feel something choking you in the night?"
He looked up and me as he tilted his head slightly ,"I guess you looked at the mirror behind me"
I looked again and there was no damn mirror!
"
Hey, there is no mirror!", I mumbled, offended.
He smiled at me as he said ,"Just like your intelligence"
He caught me in my own game!
Alright what does he think? He is super funny? Huh? He was being extremely satirical and witty?
Ahh geez, how humourless.
"Alright since you admire me a lot, to even go as far as to steal my hair gel. I think you deserve a second chance", he said abruptly.
Does he have to bring up that fake confession? This guy gets on my nerves too much.
With that same arrogant and ignorant look he uttered ," You will pick up all the weeds around the college, I don't care if it's too hard. By tomorrow I must see the field clean".
Is he for real? Who does that? I was so baffled I probably had my eyes so widened that I felt scared what if they fell outta the sockets.
"You're doing this world a favor, it's about time you realise the weight of deception", as he got up from the chair. And threw me an evil smile.
I hate him.
"S..sure..senior…", I said scarcely . It was no surprise he would make me do such things. He even did worse things to others. One time a guy had somehow crossed his non-existent tolerance and he had to hang upside down everyday for a week like a bat.
It affected the guy so much, now he thinks he is Bruce Wayne.
I heavy heartedly walked down the stairs, just then,
I tripped.
Ouch my waist.
Ah…[bone cracking] shit I am old.
"thank god no one is around, otherwise I would feel bad for their eyes which had to witness your atrocious fall", snickered the Settings.
No one cares about me. I should just go and sit by the hall and cry until I feel like alright, no one cares that I am gone.
I could hear the Settings sigh, seriously can't I express my pain?
..
"ThIs SoRt Of ThInG iS gOoD~I WiSh I cOuLd Do iT~~tHiS sOrT oF dReAm, ThAt SoRt Of DrEaM~~I HaVe ManN oF TheE bUt
AlL oF tHeM, aLl Of ThEm, AlL oF tHeM
hE gRaNts My DrEaMs
He GrAnTs My DrEaMs WiTh a MaGiC pOcKeT~~", I sang my heart out as I pulled the weeds hard. It's already sunset.
Gosh, I hate being a freshman…
"What the hell?! Why are you crying?!", asked a very familiar voice.
I turned around as I said ,"Haha, very funny, …in unfunny land."
He sits beside me as he offers chips to me. To be honest I have every right to crash out on this oblivious fool.
"..Kia..don't stare at me like tha-", he said as he pretended I was looking at him with love and admiration. I couldn't take it.
I shoved weeds in his mouth as I yelled ,"YOU BRAT! YOU GAVE ME A FAKE SIGN!!!"
..
..
"I wAnT tO fly FrEeLy In ThE sKy~~"
"HERE! BAMBOO COPTER!"
"An An An I lOvE you, DoRaEmOn~~", we both sang as we pulled weeds.
"...Kia I am sorry, but the old man… he was too worked up over Lioren so I copied his sign. I am so sorry.", he spoke, his voice slightly gruff and remorseful.
I was obviously mad at him, no matter what, I can't just be a pushover. So I sighed, as I said ,"Sure but only if you get me acquainted with Liana"
He looked visibly flabbergasted as he timidly nodded. I don't have much hope but whatever as we went back to work.
He said serenely ,"Kia"
I grumbled ,"What?"
He said ,"Sometimes crying can be good, you know. I cry all the time."
He waited for my response as he looked at me sideways.
" Aren't you blind-", I questioned
..
Thanks to Daniel's help I was able to get Lioren's inhuman punishment done. I had also guilt tripped Daniel into buying me tiramisu. As I studied in the library.
All these issues had made me forget I have a history test later, now we grind! As just when I was getting started to grind…
"Waaaaahhhhhh [sobs] I…[sniffLees] MY LIFE IS DONE! WAAHHHH", wailed some random lady.
Geez, this is a library for God's sake.
The wailing lady sat beside me as she wailed, "Tell me? Was It my fault? [Sobs intensify] I.. was…just…[sniffles hard]".
Nah what did I do wrong to deserve this? I looked at her and oh boy all my frustration melted away when I saw Liana is the wailing lady.
Settings.
"Yeah? Listen to me…it was not my job. I didn't use your LV she came here herself", defended the Settings,
I sighed as I closed the book and decided to take this chance and earn as much as LV as possible… call me a bitch or witch. I am getting my LV~~
[20000 years later]
'AHHHHH! I can't believe it! He dumped me to become a grocery model! Waahhhhhhh", she went on
Wow, by this time I could have finished the whole 345 pages, given the test and even went to the bathroom. Just how many tears does she have? She never runs out of it?
Suddenly she shook me as she went on ,"WaAAAAAaaaaaHHHHHHH! My looooove is gone….it's gone…"
As she put her head on my shoulder, I patted her head as I sighed. She is nothing like her brother…that's a good thing.
[...idk how long later]
"Thanks..", she said as she wiped her tears.
I can't help but think, Jia and I met and she cried. The same way I met Liana is this some sort of specific thing? Why? Is there any explanation?
While I was deep in thoughts, she stared at me as she said ,"What's your name?"
"Kia..Kia Flounce", I replied as I smiled. She smiled back her tear streaked face looking less tense and beautiful as she extended her hand and said ,'Liana Roven."
Hehe I finally got acquainted with Liana! But I couldn't have guessed what happened next as I found myself in a situation I dreaded so damn badly!
"Kia Flounce, stay back", Devian's sharp voice cut the thick air as others prepared to leave. Of course I knew I couldn't avoid him forever…
But…
Why!!!
