Having Lunch Together

In the middle of that time, Evelina was writing the list of names absent from class 1-4. Shortly thereafter, Nox listens to someone calling him.

“Nox Cyril, is it here?” called student A.

Nox moved out of place and placed the book he was holding on the table. Then he came to the man who was calling him.

“Yeah, what’s up?”

The student immediately knew that the man in front of him is Nox Cyril, who does not know the young master of Cyril’s family. Then, the student tells Nox that he is looking for Nox because he wants to give a message from Mr. Kyle. It was announced that Nox was told to go to the teacher’s room by Mr. Kyle.

After the student finished to tell him, Nox thanked him for telling him. Then the student left in front of him.

After that, Nox walks to Evelina’s place. The man stood by the girl and he took the book he had borrowed, that Nox wanted to turn the book around. When Evelina sees Nox standing next to her, she asks him, “Do you have any other needs?”

“Ah, that’s right. I’m sorry, it looks like I should leave you alone,” Nox regrets.

“Hmm, it’s okay. I can do it myself quickly,” Evelina said, shaking her head.

“Don’t push yourself! Then I’ll go first!” he said. Then Nox left the place and left Evelina alone in the library.

When Nox had left her, Evelina smiled and muttered, “Huh ... it turns out that he is a person of worry and concern.”

After recalling what Rissa said about Nox, Rissa says Nox is a cunning and unfriendly person to Rissa.

“I think Rissa misunderstood Nox,” Evelina says in her heart.

Evelina shakes her head. She tries to realize that this is none of her business. Rissa’s view of Nox is like what. Because each person has their own thoughts. Then Evelina resumes her work.

After a few hours later...

Evelina has finally finished her work, and she sees her watch, that now shows lunchtime. Then, Evelina leaves her place and takes her worksheet to give to Mr. Kyle. The girl eventually left the premises.

Arriving at the teacher’s room, he tidies up the file and places the data of class 1-4 students on Mr. Kyle’s desk. After finishing, Evelina leaves the teacher’s room and wants to go to the cafeteria for lunch. At that moment Evelina, who walks through the computer room, Evelina saw there was Nox.

Evelina, who sees Nox, looking busy makes Evelina worry, because since Nox left the library until now has not finished doing the work.

“Isn’t it lunchtime time? Has he had lunch?” asked the person who was hit by Evelina.

Nox stretches his hands and looks very tired, he worries Evelina. She thinks that Nox hasn’t had lunch yet. Then, she immediately goes to her school cafeteria, that she wants to buy food for Nox. She rushed over and at that point, she almost hit someone else. “Ughh!”

“Eve?” call the person who was hit by Evelina.

Evelina realizes that the person she hit is Rissa. “Oh, that’s you ... Rissa!”

“Are you okay? Why are you running in a place like this?” asked Rissa.

“Ah, it’s ... I want to buy lunch–” broke Evelina’s words.

Evelina sees the food in the cafeteria is almost exhausted, with only two sandwiches left.

“How’s this? Food in the cafeteria is up?” limp Evelina.

“Oh, if that’s it, take it easy. I bought you some food,” Rissa said. Then, she gave Evelina a bag of plastic containing foods.

Evelina takes the plastic bag, she is relieved that Rissa has bought it for her. Then Evelina thanks to Rissa. Evelina tells her that she will replace the food with Rissa. Then, Evelina immediately leaves from her presence Rissa.

“Not ne–” replied Rissa who had not finished answering Evelina’s words

“Eve! Where are you?” shouted Rissa.

“I want to finish my work,” she said.

Rissa sighs, as Evelina abandons her. Then, the men approach Rissa, namely Franss, Lucas, and Owen.

“Huh, you’ve left behind again,” Franss said.

“It’s not abandoned, but she’s in a hurry,” Owen said.

“Hey, you guys! Better stop it! Someone’s crying!” said Lucas, who looked at Rissa.

Franss and Owen turn towards Rissa, only to realize that Rissa is crying. Because of what they said and Evelina left behind. Owen said, “Don’t be sad.”

“Eve doesn’t care about me anymore! sobs ... sobs,” said Rissa.

“Hey, it’s not like that ...,” Franss said.

At the time, they were persuading Rissa not to cry. Because they are being seen by other students at the moment and do not want to cause attention by many people. Then, they went from there and walked to their class.

After a few minutes later...

On the other hand, Evelina is standing in front of a drinks machine located at the intersection of the gym. Since then, she has been confused about choosing a drink for Nox. At the time, Lucas was sitting outside by his classroom window. He sees Evelina that the girl looks confused while near the gym.

“What’s she doing? Drinks?” murmured Lucas.

In the end, Evelina puts her coins in the drink machine. She hasn’t chosen any drink since just now. Then, Lucas comes to Evelina who looks confused, and approaches her.

“What drink did I buy for Nox?” said Evelina, who was asking herself.

Lucas who heard Evelina’s words thought about helping her. After that, Lucas presses the ‘Green Tea‘ button, Evelina looks surprised by Lucas’ arrival and presses the button on the drinks machine. Lucas takes the green tea and gives it to Evelina. He said, “This ....”

“Huh?” confused Evelina.

“You want to buy Nox a drink, right?” asked Lucas.

“Ah, that’s right,” Evelina replied.

“He likes green tea, a drink that’s not too heavy at lunch,” explains Lucas.

Then, He left Evelina after helping her, Evelina thanked him.

“Thank you, Lucas!” she shouted as Lucas went that far.

Lucas was astonished at why he did all this to the girl. Then, he ruffled his hair because he didn’t know his own way of thinking.

After that, Evelina gets to Nox’s place and she sees that Nox is still doing her works. Evelina knocked on the door and said, “Excuse me!”

Hearing the knock on the door as well as the girl he knew, Nox turned towards Evelina and he looked shocked.

“Why are you here at lunchtime?” asked Nox.

“Ah, I just saw you look busy and haven’t eaten anything,” Evelina replied.

“Then I want to eat with you ... Do you mind?” she continued.

“Ah, no ...,” Nox said.

Evelina sits nearby Nox and opens a plastic bag containing a sandwich, which Rissa gave her earlier. She took the sandwich and give it to Nox, as well as the can of green tea.

“This is for you!” said Evelina.

“Ah? Me? Thank you,” said Nox who was a little surprised, because Evelina came to give him food.

Evelina replied with a smile, they ended up having lunch together. On the other hand, Nox who is eating the sandwich he smiles thinly who sees the opposite direction to Evelina.

After a few minutes later...

They had finished lunch and tidied their food and drink waste into plastic bags.

“Btw, what are you doing here?” asked Evelina.

“Mr. Kyle failed the technology a little bit, so he asked me to fill in and make the data of the students 1-4 ...,” Nox replied while looking at his computer.

“Ah ... so, do I need to help?” offered Evelina.

“No, I’ve been getting it done since,” Nox said.

“Oh, I see ...,” she says visibly moody.

Nox sees Evelina moody, that Evelina has misunderstood. Nox doesn’t mean not to need Evelina’s help. It’s just that he’s not comfortable charging Evelina who has made the list of absentee class 1-4 students alone.

“It’s not like that, let us both have worked. Since you did the work alone ... I feel bad,” Nox explained.

“All right! Then, do you want to go to class together?” Evelina offered.

Nox accepts Evelina’s offer that he goes to class with her, Evelina took a plastic bag filled with trash to throw in the trash. Nox held Evelina’s hand and said, “Here, I’ll throw it away.”

“Thank you,” Evelina said.

“Dummy ... I should be the one thanking you,” murmured Nox with a smile.

After that, Nox and Evelina have arrived at their class. They both noticed that Rissa, Lucas, Owen, and Franss were hanging out together. Rissa who realizes Evelina’s arrival, she immediately whines and hugs her.

“What’s wrong with Rissa?” asked a visibly confused Evelina.

“You’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” Rissa sadly.

“I’m sorry, I’m a little busy,” Evelina said.

Evelina sees Lucas and she smiles at him, thanking him for helping him earlier. Seeing the behavior of the two of them, Franss spoke up. “Do you already know each other?” he asked.

“Not really,” Lucas replied.

“Hoo~” tease Franss.

Evelina and Rissa sit in their seats, while Nox stands in front of the class to co-ordinate the students in class 1-4. After that, Nox informed that students of class 1-4 could go home and had finally finished.

“Let’s go home, Rissa!” Evelina said.

“Okayyy!” Rissa said of her invitation.

After seeing the two girls leave, Franss glanced at Nox and said something to him.

“She’s home, Nox ...,” teases Franss.

“Let’s go home too!” said Nox, who placed his hand on Franss’s shoulder.

“You look happy, is there something going on?” he asked curiously.

Nox chuckles, he pulled Franss to go home. Then, they both say goodbye to Owen and Lucas.

“Let’s go home too, Luc!” Owen said.

“Wait a minute! I want to return the book first in the library,” Lucas said.

After that, they both arrived in front of the library. Owen said that he waited outside. Then, Lucas went into the library and put his book on a shelf. On the other hand, Owen suddenly sees a girl in front of him, Evelina.

“Evelina? Are you doing it here?” asked Owen.

“I forgot to return the book,” she replied.

After speaking to Owen, she went into the library and put down her book. Evelina tries to put her book on a shelf that is quite high out of reach. The girl is tiptoeing to grab the shelf, but her hands didn’t even reach the bookshelf

Suddenly there’s a man’s hand helping Evelina to put down her book. Then, Evelina thanks the man. When she turned around and saw the man, she was shocked. She didn’t think that the man would help her.
