I am now on my way home to get something from the apartment. I just got out of the university and when I was about to change into my daily uniform, I forgot that I left my newly washed clothes at home. I apologized and asked the Boss to let me get my clothes first and that I will be back the right away.
I woke up late this morning and couldn't quite remember what happened last night and how I ended up in my sleeping. I remembered going to Japan for a few minutes but I couldn't remember how I fell asleep. Don't tell me, I suddenly lost consciousness while walking in Japan? No way.
I still got to ask Alexander about what happened but since he didn't appear today, It's still a mystery to me. I had my hands in my pocket while walking on the busy road when something caught my eyes. The door into the bookstore. I looked at the store and stopped walking.
I remembered the pretty lady who gave me the book yesterday. I looked at the time. It's not that late. I just got to walk faster later. I opened the door to the library. I couldn't see a lot of people.
I am hoping to see the lady again. I still haven't read the story but I still want to see her. She told me to tell her the story of the book but she didn't tell me when and where. If she could've told me, I would be willing to see her again.
I walked around the library hoping to see her again. I walked on every aisle but couldn't see a beautiful lady, but I saw a young boy instead.
I don't look at guys that much but this one really got my attention. I noticed that he's in the fantasy Aisle too. He caught my attention with his fancy blue hair. I have seen so many people who dyed their hair blue but this one seems different. I can't even tell why.
I was looking at him and he noticed me. I immediately shifted my gaze and pretended to look at the books in front of me. I heard him close the book that he was currently checking and left. When he disappeared from my eyes, I looked at where he came from. A few seconds later, I heard the sound of the bell that means someone opened the door or someone left the store.
I supposed it was him.
I finished my business in the library and didn't see the lady. I went to the librarian instead and asked them if it is okay to leave my phone number, name, and the school that I go to just in case the lady comes back.
"Please tell her she can find me in my university. Thank you." I told the librarian and left the store.
I almost ran on my way home and took the paper bag that I was supposed to have brought earlier and went all the way back to the bar.
I talked to the boss about finishing the internship and bringing back my usual shift which is 6 pm to 11 pm. Now, I am in the same shift as Leslie and Julie. At weekends, Their shift is during the day while mine is during the night. The cafe turns into a bar at night but we all do the same thing since we only applied at waitresses.
I took off my shoes and Julie opened the lights. We no longer have the energy to talk. "Goodnight," I told them as I close the door of my room. I was about to take my clothes off to get straight into the shower when I saw someone standing in front of my window.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him right away and pulled down the shirt that I was about to pull off earlier. He turned to me and looked at me from my head to toe.
"I need to talk to you about something," he replied. I still couldn't get why he looked at me like that. I am tired and all worn out but if this is about the cors, I would like to listen.
"What is it?' I asked him. He stepped forward and I already knew what will happen. He touched my hand and we got to the same park in an instant.
"After 3 years, I finally get to have the chance to take the core back."
------
It's the next day and I am now walking in the university on my way to the cafeteria. Last night, Alexander told me about why he stuck next to Lucas all this time.
A few weeks from now, he will be attending a party. It's Liam Wong's birthday. And there will be a party that will be held in Wong's mansion. And that is where the core is right now. Like the other plan that sadly failed, he will come to the party and take it.
This time, he will make sure to take it even if he needs to take on the demons but he will make sure to keep the people in that party unharmed.
He told me about this idea last night along with the shocking news about why he didn't get to take it back then.
He met someone. Someone from his past.
'I knew him since we were little. His father was my father's right hand. His father has been very loyal to the King since they too, grew up together. But, a few years when the King died, His father died too. And a few months later, he found out that his father died because of the King's orders. And that time, he resented everyone so much that he was blinded by hatred and left the kingdom. No one knew where he went, people thought he died. But I saw him at the party.' he said with a regretful tone. "He was part of us, but he left and I found out he had joined the demons. And he's in the earth, I can't believe that he was part of the plan on stealing the core."
I don't know who Mizuki was, he said he was part of the Knights together with Cira, Cole, Amaya, and Blaze. So the one he was talking about when we were at the lake must be Mizuki. I remembered his eyes when he told me about the person who left long ago. He called him a friend.
He's on earth now. I wonder how he kept his powers a secret while living on earth. He controls the water element. The only element that I thought should be with the other elements.
I sighed when I remembered what he said but I was quite relieved that our chance is rising.
Alexander has been staying here waiting for a chance to take it back. After 3 years, finally.
Now, the only problem is how to come back to Armania with the core. We don't have the key but since Alexander has been putting all his effort into the core, I guess it must be the best way to take it back right now.
In a few months, all his burdens will disappear and he will finally be able to come back to Armania.
'I wonder how it looks like right now." I whispered to myself. The dark cloud must have reached the kingdom already.
I looked up and saw someone very familiar. That blue hair that I saw just yesterday. I looked at him and he seems lost in the crowd but he still looks very calm. I stared at him for a while and told myself not to bother since I don't know him at all.
I went to the other way and went straight to the cafeteria. After lunch, I went to my next class and saw Leigh. When she saw me, I immediately felt that she'd ask me for something. She ran to me who was just about to enter the classroom.
"I need your help," she told me. "When you go out from work later, can you please buy me something?"
My eyebrows went closer together. "What?"
"There's these shoes that I really want and it's going to go out of sale tomorrow. And I have an important dinner with my family later and I have to buy it. I'll give you the cash. Please get it for me."
"I have work you know," I told her and walked past her. I wen straight to my chosen seat.
"But I really want it though." she followed me. "Pleas, please, please,"
"Don't bother me, Leigh," I said and took my binder out and a piece of pen.
"I'll let you borrow any of my books then," I immediately looked up to her and she was already smiling knowing I'd give up. What I like a lot about Leight is her taste for books. She has a full-ass library in her house and a lot of them are romance books which I really like. She lets me borrow sometimes but not everytime. I looked at her and rolled my eyes.
"Fine, give me the money later, after class," I gave up.
After class, Leigh handed me the money and kissed me goodbye. I glared at her as she closed the car door. I rolled my eyes and walked my way to the mall which is the closest one from the university. Glad it was the closest.
I looked for a certain store inside and it took me a while to walk around. I found out that the brand doesn't have a store inside the mall. It was just in a small stall together with other customized shoes with a certain character.
Leigh said that if she can't get it now, other people would be buying it tomorrow.
I took the shoes and told the seller leigh's name and took the shoes with me. I was about to leave the mall when I saw someone walking towards me. My eyes almost popped out my eyes.
"Si-- Lucas," I almost could say anything. I was torn between calling him 'Sir' or Lucas.
"Hey," he called me. "Glad to see you here,"
He's wearing his fit right now, which is quite different from what he usually wears when he's inside the building.
"Just got out from the university?" he asked and I nodded. "I wanted to talk to you, can I take you to the restaurant? Don't worry, it won't take long."
I tried my best to refuse but he didn't let me so I ended up coming. I sat at the table in a restaurant I have never thought I'd be able to come in before.
"You don't really have to do this," I told him but he shook his head while smiling.
"Don't worry, we are just going to eat," he said. "It's my treat, order what you want."
I feel very awkward with this situation. He became part of Alexander's plans because we need to take the core from his father.
I was looking at him when I realized something. Does he know his father is related to the demons? Looking at him, he looks quite a nice person when he's smiling. My first impression of him faded away. I suddenly feel like he's a good person when I look at him.
Well, he's quite cocky at times.
I opened the menu and my eyes almost fell out when I saw the prize of the menus. Well, what do I expect from an empty restaurant?
I ordered the least expensive menu and he seemed to sense it and ordered me something that I don't know what.
He asked a lot about how I am doing and I could only answer with a few words.
"It's been a while since you finished the internship.' he said.
"Yeah."
"I heard you went out the last time." he said.
"Oh, Minnie told you that?" I asked, surprised.
"Yeah. How was it?"
I left with Alexander during that time. "Minnie suddenly disappeared," I said and he chukled.
The food came in a few seconds and he ordered me something like pasta. I don't know the name but it's pasta with I don't know what's on top.
"Thank you for the treat," I said and started with the pasta. It looks new but it looks quite delicious. I took a bite and indulged in the creamy taste of the sauce.
WOAH.
I was so amazed that I stopped my movements for a sec. I stared at the food on the table and Lucas snapped it out. "Was it delicious?" He asked. He's smiling very wide. I nodded and proceeded to the second bite.
"You looks so cute, you look like my little sister when she first had one," he told me.
I looked up at him.
"Your sister?" I asked wanting to know more about her and immediately regretted it when I realized that I shouldn't.
"She died though," he said with a cheerful tone. His eyes are even almost disappearing when he smiled when he said that but for me, what I saw is just real pain.
