Today, the first period was PT.Everyone was changing into their PT outfit. "I'm waiting for you outside," Leah told Mia as she walked out of the changing room after changing into her PT outfit. She put her elbows on the railing and looked toward the basketball ground. She narrowed her eyes once she saw Tobias practicing among them."Loser." She whispered under her breath while eyeing him. She lashed her gaze away from him. Her expression lightened once she saw Igneel making his way toward the building. She was about to tell his name as she raised her arm to wave at him but she paused midway when she saw something in his hands.She lowered her arm and keenly looked at the bouquet-like stuff in his hand. Her eyes widened and her heartbeat fastened once she saw a bouquet of white Camellia in his hands.A BOUQUET OF CAMELLIA. He brought it for her.She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She put her hand on her chest to calm her heartbeat. Why was her heart beating so fast? He rememb

Did she do something wrong? She kept standing there in the middle of the corridor, scratching her cheek with her finger trying to remember her fault. Was he still angry because of the principal scene? But the fatty, unfortunately, died. She shook her head and made her way toward the classroom. Upon entering the classroom she looked at her desk to catch Igneel but instead of Igneel, she saw Jack. She frowned and looked at the desk where Igneel used to sit before and to her surprise he was sitting on his old seat. She lashed her gaze away from Igneel once she heard Mia calling her name. She silently made her way toward her desk and settled down. "Did...did something happen? Why is he sitting there?" Mia asked Leah as soon as she sat down. Leah shrugged and shook her head. "I don't know...he just ignored me in the corridor and now he is not sitting behind me anymore. I'm sure nothing happened between us for him to act like this." Leah said with a gloomy expression on her face. Mia l

Guilt.Sadness.Helplessness.All of these indulged Leah.This was her very first time...very first time feeling something so harsh mentally. While Igneel...all of his life has suffered through physical and mental pain. It's surprising how he is still going on...if there was anyone other than him...they would have taken their life long ago.This only says one thing...that he is very strong.She is sure...in the future, he will become so strong that no power like Tobias can hold onto him.She felt her legs shaking so she leaned against the wall of one of the mansions. She bent down and grabbed her trembling knees. Her chest heaved up and down as she recalled the scene of him brutally getting hit by Tobias. Who would have thought that Tobias would be such a monster?His father did have a mafia vibe...and he is a mafia. How come Igneel ended up in them? Does his father not know what his son is going through? Was that an act in the principal's office? Are Tobias and Igneel brothers? She

"Pick up."Leah said, her hands shaking as she called her mother but she wasn't picking up. She called her father and he wasn't picking up either. "Please...no." She cried out, tears falling down her eyes, shuffling with raindrops. "Oh...my Mateo." She said and quickly stood up on her wobbly legs. She tried to stop a cab but none of them have the route to her area because it was raining heavily, especially in the area where her house was located."Oh, God."Her mind went blank and she couldn't think of anything other than running to her house.Running in the rain as fast as she can to reach her house. Her lips trembled as his threatening words rang in her mind. The water splashed up as she ran through the puddle of water caused by rain. Her breath was heavy and her heartbeat was ringing in her ears like an alarm. Before she knew it, she sprained her ankle and fell on the wet footpath, her knee, and palms got badly scratched but she paid no attention to her mere bruises, all she knew

"Leah...One-chan."Yuri said and looked at Leah who slowly walked inside the counter. "Ava...you can take a break," Leah told Ava and she nodded before walking out of the counter. She walked into the backroom of the cafe to have some rest while on the other hand, Yuri was now facing Leah."My day was good in college," Yuri said with a faint smile on her face. Leah nodded and looked up at Yuri. "No, I don't want to drink anything," Yuri said and Leah looked at Yuri for a while. Leah wasn't like before anymore. She doesn't smile at all...she doesn't talk at all unless it is necessary...as if scolding, but she wasn't like she used to be. She always had this stern look on her face.Her eyes don't sparkle anymore...they are blank.She was nothing like before.Obviously, after what happened to her..."I'm going up to my room," Yuri said and Leah nodded. Yuri and Leah lived together on the second floor of the cafe. Yuri quietly walked into the backroom of the cafe...there were stairs in the
