Arion, who always cuddled in his mother's arms, was now walking with her. Arion now almost reached Alica's knees.
His little crystal blue hair was now covering his forehead. His beautiful ocean eyes had become even more beautiful. His soft skin was almost like butter. With his beautiful angelic face, no matter where he went, everyone had only one thought.
"Angel!"
The servants were running around cleaning, decorating, making countless new dishes, almost like a festival. After all, today was Arion's fifth birthday.
'Mom, why are so many people here today?' Arion said in a soft low voice, his voice was almost like magic, as he looked up to Alica.
"My ears are blessed! Hearing your healing voice is the best thing!. Well, today's our Arion's birthday." Alica replied gently, smiling as they walked.
'Ugh… I hate this.' Arion pouted, filling his little cheeks.
They entered the hall, filled with people—actors, businessmen, politicians, and especially women with their sons, thinking maybe they could make connections. Everyone's attention immediately turned to Arion.
"Wow… as I heard, he truly is an angel."
"If only he gets engaged to my son."
"I hope my son can become friends with him today."
"They're aura is really something!"
Arion had heard these same words again and again wherever he went. Arion quickly hid behind Alica.
'Mom, they're creepy.' from hiding behind Alica. He pointed his finger at them.
Alica froze for a moment. "Haha, he's just a kid." Alica tried to maintain composure while sweating awkwardly.
Everyone froze just for a moment before speaking again.
"He looks even cuter!"
Alica picked up Arion in her arms, making their way to cut the cake.
Time really flies quickly, the seasons change, years pass in the blink of an eye. Today is the first day of school. Arion is getting ready in a rush. The reason: he didn't wake up early. Arion, who was just a little kid going everywhere with his mother, now has become a seventeen year old teenager. The angel everyone called now had become even more beautiful and pretty. Arion's room is filled with plants and pictures of him and his parents. With a big bed almost like three average beds merged into one.
"Why do I have to go to school? I don't wanna." Arion muttered, pouting his face. Getting ready in the mirror, he buttoned his school uniform.
He looked in the mirror, touching his hair. His crystal blue hair had covered his eyebrows.
'I should have gotten a haircut, I can't even see properly.'
A servant knock on door.
"Young master, her highness is waiting for you."
'Please tell her I'm coming.' Arion told the servant in a polite voice. Arion took a bottle and took two supplements of pheromone surpassing in his mouth, immediately turning his face away.
"Ugh... so bitter." He stuck his tongue out as the bitter taste filled his mouth.
Arion quickly took his bag and ran as the fear of Alica becoming angry scared him. Finally, making his way to the hall, the family members were waiting for him, overjoyed by his first day of school.
"Late on the first day? Hah." Alica let out a sigh, shaking her head. She was wearing a black suit with black glasses on her head.
Arion's grandmother was standing with a talisman in her hand.
Arion glanced over at her and immediately remembered that whenever he went out, his grandmother always gave him a talisman. But now he was tired of carrying it everywhere.
Arion stopped midway and turned his face away with a huff, folding his arms.
'I'm not going with that on the first day of my school.' He pouted.
"But this is for your good, you don't know what kind of people are outside." His grandmother forcefully gave it to him.
'I don't have a problem taking it, but you said I can't leave it in my bag and have to carry it around in my hands everywhere.' Arion burst out like a little kitten.
"When it's in hand, the talisman works better. I saw it on a tv channel." Arion's grandmother smiled, raising her thumb.
"Mother is right." Alica raised a thumb in agreement with grandmother.
Arion let out a big sigh, shaking his head.
'You and your TV.' Tired of arguing, Arion gave up, he put the talisman in his pants pocket.
Arion glanced over at them, spotting Ruly, Alex and Erry were not there.
'Did aunty and big brother go out?' Arion asked.
"Oh, you didn't know? Today someone is coming with a marriage proposal for Alex, so they went out to buy something." Arion's grandfather replied.
'Then I should stay at home, right?' Arion's face glowed almost like light, he smiled, trying to convince them with his cute face.
"Okay—no wait." Everyone was just about to agree because of Arion's big bright smile that had almost blinded them.
Well, it almost worked on them—but they've seen this again and again, so this time it's not going to work.
"Don't use that." Alica shouted, she grabbed his bag and dragged him away.
'It didn't work this time?' Arion muttered.
"Haha… I can't believe our Arion became this big." His grandmother said, smiling at him gently.
"He was just a little kid running around in a diaper." His grandfather wiped his tears dramatically.
"Don't cry honey, we should start looking for the perfect boy for him." Arion's grandmother placed her hand on his grandfather's shoulder, giving him courage.
Outside, Arion with Alica in the car.
'We are really late, mum.' Arion pouted, looking out the window, the cold wind blowing his crystal blue hair.
"Did you take your supplements?" Alica asked in a low voice, looking out the window on the other side.
'Yeah.' Arion replied, closing his eyes.
"Never forget to take them." Alica said, now with a worried look on her face.
'Yes! Your highness, I will.' Arion replied, bowing his head to Alica.
The mood inside immediately lifted up with their laughter.
The car stopped, the driver stepped out first, opening the door for Alica and then Arion.
Arion stepped out, looking at his high school that has four floors, different grounds for different activities, with a big board Sn High School on the school gate.
Stunned by this, Arion was surprisingly excited. The one who didn't even want to go to school now was standing there with his eyes wide open.
"Looks like I don't need to worry about anything." Alica grinned, looking at Arion.
Arion put on a mask on his face before saying goodbye to his mother.
'Bye mom.' He waved his hand before going.
"I can't cry, I can't." Alica muttered, holding her tears. She turned around.
"Okay bye."
'Haha, Mom, I'm not going forever, don't cry.' Arion said while going inside the school.
'No one is on the ground, so the class has already started.' Inside Arion's head.
'The school is really big, I wonder how many friends I will make—'
"HEY YOU!" A loud voice intruded upon Arion.
Arion flinched before turning back, breaking a sweat.
'Not now.' He muttered.
"Do you know what time it is, kid?" A student said in anger, coming to Arion with a student council card around his neck.
'I'm sorry, I'm late because I was sick.' Arion replied, looking sideways, sweating. Well, he was obviously lying.
The student, who had two years of experience with lying students like Arion, didn't fall for his lie.
"Don't lie to me, kid." The student didn't budge.
'Well, I didn't want to use this, but I don't have a choice.' Arion muttered in his head. Arion took off his mask slowly.
'Can you please let me go, I'm already late.' Arion looked at the student with puppy eyes.
The student was shocked with wide eyes, his thoughts racing in his brain, processing.
"Angel on Earth???!! He's damn cute." He muttered in his brain.
"Only this time!" The student said, looking sideways, while his cheeks turned pink, blushing.
Well, Arion's face card worked perfectly.
'Thank you, sir.' Arion replied with a polite voice before putting his mask on again.
"No problem, but next time— huh? Where did he go?" The student said with wide eyes in surprise.
Arion, first in every race he participated in.
Inside school.
'phew…' Arion let out a sigh of relief, he looked around, searching for his classroom.
'Class one… class one… Why is this school so big?' He muttered while searching for his classroom.
Arion spotted class one in the last corner. With relief on his face, he made his way to his classroom. Should I open it? Arion thought, standing in front of the class door, scared of the teacher. This is not the time to be scared! He muttered in his head, giving himself courage. With a soft push, he opened the door.
'Huh?' Arion said in surprise.
