Gem's Pov
I wasn't scared at all I'm more scared to see him in pain. After so many years I was able to cry because of him.
I don't know what I am feeling right now because I felt my heart was racing the way he look at me gently.
The others arrive and greeted us Mr. Dom was also here.
"I'm glad to know you both are fine as a students you all have a potential. You manage to solve the case and closed it with justice. As a token of our appreciation our head has gave you all this." He said while giving a license?
As I look at it my name was written on it and it was stated as part of a special force.
"Are you serious?" Yohan exclaimed.
"Yes you'll be part of us if you need any help and all the six of you has an access." Mr. Dom explained.
They all cheered like nothing horrible has happened to them.
"I'm actually glad everyone was safe especially this dumbhead you are even the president for pete's sake." Yohan said.
"He was so freaking worried and wanted to finish the treatment fast to be with Gem." Shun teased.
"Hey cut it off can't you see I'm injured." Ion frowned at them teasing him.
We said our thanks at Mr. Dom and they decided to have a talk.
"I actually thought this guy is born stupid well he's somehow useful." Caffe said while pointing at Yohan.
"Of course I'm more prepared than this dumb ass." Yohan said while pointing at Ion.
"Did we disturb your moment earlier? You were like I was so scared blahblah." Shun said while acting as Ion.
They laugh on how he acted and continued to tease.
"I felt relieve knowing that its finally done." Aly said and smiled.
"Yeah I can now stay at the hospital with a calm mind." Shun added.
"No more corpses." Yohan said and laugh a bit.
"And no more stupid Yohan." Caffe added making Yohan pouted.
After a few days Ion was able to get back to his house I was also done packing my things and walked outside my room.
He also just come out from his room with a crutches, he stared at me for a while.
"You are leaving?" He asked looking at my baggages.
"Yes I think our deal ends here now that everything is fine, I don't want to bother you and you've save my life too. You have done so much for me and I've been staying here for so long like I don't even want to leave. Thank you for taking care of me Ion I can now move my life without worries." I said I don't know why but I felt sad saying those words.
I saw him with a painful expression but it suddenly change with a serious face.
"You are right, you can finally forget everything like nothing happened. I won't bother you anymore so we can just move on just like before." He said and got back to his room.
I was about to reach him but the door was already close I sighed and touch his door.
"Goodbye Ion." I said in a sad voice.
It wasn't just a chest pain or a heart problem, those irregular heartbeats and fever was confusing but it was normal.
Yesterday I tried to asked a doctor about this kind of symptoms I've been experiencing.
"Doc Jack I have this kind of symptoms which is I have irregular heartbeats this past few day could it be atrial fibrillation? I also felt the heat rising into my cheeks I think I've been having sunburn too." I said.
"Let me ask you Gem have you experiencing this kind of symptoms with someone?" He asked making me confuse.
"Yeah its our president I felt all this kind of symptoms every time his near me." I answered.
I saw him nodded and tapped me in the shoulder.
"Gem the one you are experiencing is not atrial fibrillation or any heart disease its a normal symptoms when you are in love." He said while smiling at me.
"I-inlove?" I suddenly blurted.
"Yes its not a fever or sunburn because it was called blushing when, your heart beats so fast when he does something nice or you are with him. Sudden sweats due to excitement and being scared to lose him my diagnosis was right you are in love." He said nodding.
I was so shock to speak at him even when I got out at the hospital and stared at the door's window. I look at Ion while he was reading a book he looks so peaceful.
"Am I really in love with you Ion?" I said while looking at him.
This feelings I have right now is what they called pain. I really don't have the guts to forget everything.
Ever since he saved me at the stockroom my impression towards him was change.
The school was now peaceful and all of the students were happily talking and busy on studying for the incoming exams.
We never talked again ever since I left the mansion, he kept his promise and monitored my grandpa.
"Child you seem to be out of yourself lately is something bothering you?" Grandpa asked when I visited him.
"Not at all grandpa you don't have to worry about me because I'm fine." I said and continued peeling the apple.
He signed me to stop and hold me at my shoulder.
"I know something was bothering you is it because of Ion?" He asked.
I almost drop the apple hearing his name, well his right he never dared to talk to me again. Every time our path crossed he just passed by at me without looking. It really makes me upset but it was actually my fault in the first place.
I'm already regretting on what I said and how dumb I am because I ran away to avoid this kind of feeling.
It seems so not real and this is the first time that I like someone physically I mean with a mere human being.
"So I was right?" Grandpa added making me back to my senses
"What did you say again grandpa?" I asked.
He laugh a bit and spoke. "If you like him you should have told him, you won't lose anything if you try to confessed and be real with your feelings."
"Grandpa what are you talking about we are still students and he is even superior than me. I think I'm not even qualified to like someone far from my reach." I said while lowering my voice.
"You didn't even deny that you like him low or high being real and expressing your feelings isn't need to be base on the background. Its up to him to decide if he also has feelings for you, at least you did tried to tell him you and won't lose anything with that." He said while giving me a smile.
"I guess your right grandpa but I'm still wasn't sure if I really do like him. Maybe its just we are already comfortable with each other and he saved me many times already." I said.
Grandpa shook his head and didn't speak anymore.
As I was on class I can't stop myself to look at him while he was busy reading at the library.
I don't even know what I am doing here to think I have class yet I skipped just to look at him here.
I just hope my grades will still be on top geez.
He suddenly look at my place making me stood up and walk away.
"What the hell was that gem! You almost looks like a freaking stalker." I said to myself.
I didn't notice that my feet has brought me to the music room.
A sudden piece of piano was heard when I was on the door. The piano piece that is currently playing was Fur Elise by Beethoven. I was so enchanted by the music so I open the door and sneak in.
I saw a grand piano on the stage and a beautiful woman playing the piano.
I slowly walk inside and she barely sees me because the room was dark and only the stage has a light.
When she finally was finished I clapped my hands making her startled and look at me.
"I'm so sorry for barging in but I heard a beautiful music and my feet brought me here I'm Titania Gem Galilei." I said so that she won't feel scared.
She suddenly look up into the terrace of the music room so I followed her gaze but no one was around.
"I'm Elise Domaine thank you for the compliment Titania." She said and smiled.
"Are you one of the club members?" I asked.
"Y-yes I really love playing the piano and that piece was my favorite of all." She said but her eyes suddenly became sad.
"You seem sad I thought it was your favorite is there somethings wrong?" I asked.
"N-nothing I-" she stopped hearing the man's voice in the other side.
"Elise can we talk?" The man asked looking at her sadly.
She didn't turn her back at her and I notice she was trembling.
"I n-need to go Gem it was nice to meet you." She said and walked away.
The man ran and followed her, I left looking suspicious what kind of reaction was that?
I stared at the spot where Elise was staring earlier. Could it be that someone was her with us earlier and I'm not the only one who's watching?
I immediately erased those thoughts maybe I was overthinking too much I wasn't even able to get over yet on the last incident.
I decided to walk out of the music room it already felt uncomfortable being here alone.
As I open the door a very unexpected person was in front of me.
"Ion?" I blurted in surprise.
"I was just checking if someone was inside, don't you have class why are you here?" He asked.
Is he worried about me thats why he's here?
"Oh I was not in the mood to attend class so I skipped." I answered.
"Skipping class? You need to get back into your class now I'm monitoring everyone here at the school to think that you are one of the top students yet you are not a very good role model." He said in a serious voice.
I was expecting too much of course he's one of the student council it was his job.
"I'll get going President." I said and walk away without looking him.
I really shouldn't expect more about him its just an unexpected incident. He only showed his gentle side to make me feel at ease because he was also dragged in the case.
I walk into the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. I suddenly laughed to myself I look so freaking pathetic.
When I got out I saw Caffe waving at me, I heard some students are pointing at us.
"Isn't that Gem and Caffe they are one of the students together with our President who solved the murder case."
"You are right isn't they awesome?"
"It seems like our normal student life won't be peaceful because of the incident. I didn't saw you at class where did you go? I was stuck with a two guys whose fighting in the staircase earlier geez." She said.
"Yeah I was just trying to calm myself." I answered shortly.
"Want me to buy you ice cream and sandwich?" Caffe grinned.
"I think I'm more sad now can you make it 2 sandwiches?" I joked making her laugh.
I saw Elise at the Cafeteria and waved at her, she waved back at me and smiled.
"Do you know her?" Caffe asked.
"Yes she is amazing while playing the piano." I answered.
"She's one of the belle's here and one of the excellent members of music club. By the way I notice you and Ion are acting like strangers did something happened?" She asked.
I stopped eating and look at her, she seems curious and waiting for an answer.
"I have no idea ever since I left the mansion its just turned out to be like this. What's wrong with that? I actually hope for this to happen so I guess my wish was granted when I entered here." I answered and continued to eat.
"Really? You know what if I didn't found out that their is actually no connection with you two. I really like your chemistry and the two of you would be a wonderful couple." Caffe spoke out before drinking his coke.
"Babes!" Yohan exclaimed making Caffe choke and the coke run out into her nose.
"What the hell Yohan!" She exclaimed while wiping her nose.
"Eww thats gross!" Yohan said and laughed.
I saw Ion sitting on the other table alone he's eyes suddenly drop into our table but I immediately stood up.
"I'll get going guys I think I'm not feeling well right now." I said and left them without hearing their answer.
