Overthinking doesn't suit me, so I should stop. "What's taking Kyros so long?" The door opened, causing me to flinch due to surprise. I thought it was Kyros, but it's not. "Kyril? Why are you here?"  I was baffled after Kyril locked the door. What is going on? "I need to say something. Please don't think of it as harassment; I locked the door because Lizzy's—"  We both heard loud knocks on the door— No, it's more like banging. "Hey! Open the door! How dare you get inside Lili's room without permission." I heard Kyros's voice.  "Javier! What the hell are you doing?!" I froze after hearing a girl's voice from outside. Javier?

"L-Lili?"  I turned to Vanessa and her grandmother. "W-Why did you help me?" She was baffled, and I understand that it was weird for someone you don't know to suddenly help you like that.  "I actually need to talk to you, but let's do it tomorrow." I smiled as I patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy," I told her that to at least try to reassure her, but I didn't know if it was the right thing to do. There's no use regretting it now.  I went back to the streets towards the Okami Complex. Seeing Vanessa like that made me somewhat have a clue why she chose to study at the Ravenwood Academy instead of staying at Trinity University. If she was also bullied— this is only a what if. If that truly is the case, then those rich people a

"How will you do that? And why would you do that?"  Jade turned to me. "Why? Because I hate Tiffany." She smiled and left me alone inside the storage room. After I had waited for 2 minutes, I went out after her and excused myself.  I headed to the changing room, following Jade from behind. Angelica already said that Tiffany had left before us, which made me quite curious why she left so soon. Is it because she was avoiding me? I don't know.  "If I were you, I won't trust that girl too much." I looked in Jade's direction. "Why? Is it because of what she did to Vanessa?" Jade looked bewildered after hearing that name. "How do

This girl, really! Why is she saying that to Mitch? "What are you talking about, Tiffany?" Mitch scratched the back of his head. "Does it look like that to you?"  Instead of interrupting them, I stood behind the tree near the storage room and listened to their conversations while peeking.  I saw how Tiffany nodded with a bright smile on her face. "Yes. It's annoying." She said those words with such a smile. How could she?  Mitch was silent and couldn't say anything back. How would he even suppose to reply to what Tiffany said? It's not his problem that Tiffany finds him annoying. More like, she's the annoying one here. Why

"Thanks to you." Tiffany's smile vanished as she glared at me. "Why aren't you surprised?" The tone of her voice changed, making it seem like she was pissed. It makes me laugh that I almost believe that she's a sweet and kind girl. It's funny now that I think about it; she's really suspicious since the beginning. Did I forgive her because she's pretty? I must have been really benevolent to her that she's doing all this without thinking about the consequences.  "Jade told you, didn't she?" Tiffany's expression grew grimmer after she mentioned Jade's name. "That wench! I know she'll ruin everything all over again." She stared at me with those cold and indifferent eyes. Contrary to those bright smiles she showed us the first time, she looks filled with hatred.&
