Kael's POV I smiled as I walked to Milky's house. I didn't know the exact reason why I made this request. But it makes me feel good that I get to go to her house too. It makes us feel more like friends. Friends? Is that what we are? I was about to knock on her door when I saw her coming from the backyard, she was holding a bunch of carrots, she had mud on her face and a little more on her body, she also had an apron around her waist, it made her look cute in a weird way. She looked a lot different than when I saw her at school today. “Hi… Kael…” she said, like she wasn't expecting me to be here. “You look like someone who fell into a pit,” I said with a soft giggle. She frowned and wrapped her hands around her body, staining her clothes even more. Did she just dig out those carrots? What is she? A farmer? “Thanks Kael,” she grumbled. She opened the door and walked in. “Come in Kael.” I walked in. Not to be mean, but her house was decorated poorly. The furniture was ol

Akira's POVThe moment I stepped through the school gates, something felt... off. Students weren't just walking past me like they usually did. They were looking at me. Some whispered behind their hands.Others didn't even bother lowering their voices."That's her.""The one from the picture.""I thought she was just a nerd." I frowned.Picture?I adjusted my glasses nervously and kept walking, pretending not to hear them. Maybe they were talking about someone else.Right?A group of girls passed by, their eyes fixed on me."I don't get it," one of them scoffed. "What's so special about her?" "I heard she's been going to Kael Blackwood's house.""Maybe she's his secret girlfriend."My footsteps came to an abrupt stop.What...?Before I could process what they were saying, someone grabbed my wrist."Akira!"I turned around."Camila?"She looked unusually serious. "Come with me."Without waiting for an answer, she dragged me toward a quieter hallway behind the science building. "What hap

Akira's POVThe final bell echoed through the classroom, and students hurried out in groups, their laughter filling the hallway.I took my time packing my books, There was no reason to rush.Kael had hockey practice after school, which meant our tutoring session wouldn't start until later in the evening. For once, I had a little time to myself.I slid my notebook into my backpack and adjusted my glasses."Akira."The voice made me pause.I looked up.Linda stood by my desk with her arms folded, her perfectly styled hair resting over one shoulder. Two of her friends stood behind her, wearing identical smirks. My stomach tightened. "L-Linda..." She smiled. Not the friendly kind.The dangerous kind. "I've been looking for you."I forced a small smile."Do... do you need something?" She glanced around the classroom before looking back at me."Walk with me.""I...""I wasn't asking." Her voice remained calm, but there was enough authority in it to make me obey. I followed her into one of the

Akira's POVFor a moment, I couldn't move. It felt as though my feet had been glued to the floor. The words on my locker blurred before my eyes.NERDS DON'T BELONG.My books were scattered everywhere. Some pages had been ripped out of my notebooks, while others had footprints on them, as if someone had deliberately stepped on them. The hallway gradually became crowded, students slowed down just to stare. Some whispered.Some laughed. Others took out their phones.My cheeks burned with embarrassment. "Who would do something this horrible?" Camila gasped beside me. I couldn't answer.I slowly walked toward my locker, my fingers trembling as I picked up one of my notebooks.It was soaked with red paint. The mathematics notes I had spent weeks organizing were ruined.Another notebook...Ruined.A novel I had borrowed from the library...Ruined too. Tears welled in my eyes. I tried so hard not to cry. Oh,not here. Not in front of everyone. Someone behind me snickered."I heard she's trying

Akira's POV I stood quietly in the hallway not knowing what next I should do, all I could think of was the tension I was going to put my mom into if I didn't find that envelope.Breaking the news to my mom that I'll need to get new notebooks when she knows this section hasn't ended would be me trying to make her work extra time which I wouldn't allow.“We have to look for that envelope.” I said looking at Camila in a confused state.“Yes we should” she quickly attested to it.As we searched the hallway for the envelope, my mind was beating faster than usual because we searched the whole place. I could remember I had passed but there was no sign of anything brown, not to mention an envelope on the floor.“Damn it” Camila yelled, I was brought back to reality from my thoughts.“Damn what?” I asked.“We should go check the principal's office” she replied with wild eyes. The idea had just hit her.“Yes we should” As we both hurried to the principal's office I could hear my head full of
