Chapter 8
After separating with the girl who may have some screw loose on her head, I resumed my training till it's almost sunset.
Some adults who started their work from dawn begin to walk out their own house with that it's impossible to avoid spectators even if I wanted to continue training. On my way back to home I bought breakfast from nearby after cooling down.
Take a shower, finish my breakfast when the time comes I went to Bentley house a little earlier than usual.
[ did you overslept ? ] Layla asked
[ hmm?, no I'm not I woke up at usual time ] I replied strangely, the usual Layla will never this kind of question I even come earlier
Wait!?, did she find out something?
[ then what did you do this morning?? ] aaaa, Layla look irritated, did she really know about it? But that's impossible, I've tried to avoid Bentley house because they have too much sentry around their house, what to do!?
Let's try to lie first even if they really find it out, as long there's no proof other people won't believe it, there's no one will believe being told a six years old running around the neighborhood before the sunrise, I myself won't believe it too.
[ I took a shower and finished my breakfast then come here ] I tried to look as innocent as possible
[ breakfast? Yesterday leftover? ] I started to feel I'm being interrogated, seriously what happened here!? I tried to look to maid nearby for their help, but then they immediately avoided my eyes, kuhh! I don't remember their names too I can't complaint here
Next! I tried to ask Kate's help with my eyes, then she smiled brightly looking at me back Arghh!! It's my fault asking 6 years old child for help with only eye contact but she's still cute today too I'll forgive you! as my last option I look at Paul, he just ignored me NO!!!!
[ urgh!! ] My face pulled back by Layla
[ where are you looking at? Aunt talking to you right now! ]
[ hmm.. I bought it this morning ] ahh, I'm dead Layla look really irritated now.
[ Lex.., I know you are more mature than others, but I still dangerous to go out alone okay ]
[ but we're inside housing complex ] I tried to reason with her
[ I know, but it doesn't mean it is 100% safe ]
[ but it's only nearby ]
[ it's still dangerous]
[ but I still need to eat breakfast ]
[ Lex.. ] Layla said exasperated
[ I thought you are going to eat breakfast with us, we've waited for you this morning ]
[ un, we've waited Lex ] followed Kate from behind
[ but..]
[ no more but! Tomorrow you're going to eat breakfast and dinner with us okay! ] Layla face right now literally speaking "I won't accept any other answer except 'yes' "
[ yes.. ] I answer softly, I'm really being scolded now, damn I didn't expect this!
[ good! ] phew! Looks like her mood restored now, I need to note this next time don't make Layla angry again, she's scary as hell when she's angry!!, I'm still having goosebumps even now.
[ I'm sorry for my inconvenience today ] I talked to Paul
[ it's okay, it's scary right, I fully understand that ] Paul replied intimately something you didn't expect from his scary face but I used to it now
[ hmm?, what did you say D-E-A-R ? ] Layla looking at both of us, Hiii!? She smiling but her eyes as cold as ice!!
….
[ then, see you later ] arrived at school, I split up with Kate in front of her classroom, I went to change to my school sportswear first then back to my classroom
[ good morning ] after greeting everyone in class, lastly I approached Alice and Dia like always
[ Alice, Dia morning ]
[ morning! ] Alice greets cheerfully
[ morning ] followed by Dia gloomy greeting
Wow their contrast as big as always
[ Dia? what's wrong? ]
[ nothing ]
[ what's wrong? ] I asked Alice who's come first
She shakes her head [ She has been like this since I arrived ]
I once again look at Dia who sticks her head to the table this entire time
[ Dia, can you lift your head? ] I guessed
[ No! ] She immediately denied it, Bullseye!
[ it's okay we won't criticized Dia no matter what happened right? ]
[ right! ] followed Alice agreed with me
[ really? you won't afraid of me? ] Dia lifts her head a bit, this makes me more curious what secret she hid from us
[ really! no matter what ] this time She slowly lift her head, but still covered her face above her nose with both of her hands,
[ ah! ] Dia shrieked as I pulled her hands away it's very easy with my physical abilities of course I avoid hurting her, when I found out what she's hiding from us, I was entranced staring at Dia, she cut her bangs!
[ uuu, Sobs ] seeing my entranced state, Dia thought I was afraid of her, her eyes quickly covered with tears, but I don't have any leeway to care about that.
[ beautiful ] one word blurted from my mouth
[ eh? ] while I stared at her eyes She stared back at me, her red-blood ruby colored eyes, so beautiful that it feels like it suck me into her eyes. I can't look away from her eyes, it's just that beautiful
The embarrassed Dia tried to covered her eyes with her other hair, I stopped her
[ don't cover it, why Dia covered it till now ]
[ but it's creepy right! ]
[ No! how can it be? it's so beautiful ]
[ don't lie to me! Everyone said it's creepy different from others! ]
[ like I said! It's beautiful! ]
[ Liar! ]
[ then, do you think my eyes creepy? ]
unconsciously Dia put her hand near my eyes, and softly said [ no… ] , I feel like this is her first time to meet my eyes directly, before because of her bangs I don't realize she never look at my eyes directly
Actually I' m proud with my purple eyes, from my past life point of view my eyes in this life so beautiful like Dia eyes in front of me now.
[ it's pretty ] I said once again
[ un.. ] Dia easily accepted it this time, when we realized it our face only several centimeters apart. We're both entranced staring at each other eyes
[ don't cover it again okay ]
[ … un ] Dia hesitated before answering
[ if someone told Dia that Dia eyes is creepy again just told me, i will beat them up, Dia's eyes is the same with my eyes insulting Dia's eyes is the same with insulting my eyes, so don't let others insult my eyes okay ? ]
[ … ] Dia stared at me in a daze for awhile then
[ un, it's beautiful I won't let others insult Lex's eyes ] this time Dia answered with strength and spirit
[ it's a promise then, I won't let others insult Dia's eyes too ] I take out my pinky
[ promise! ] She takes my pinky
[ HEY!? Both of you ignoring me again!!! sob! I will cry you know! ] Alice complaint from behind, wow I completely forgot about her I'm sorry unexpected danger from Dia's eyes.
[ haha ] I separated from Dia [ what are you saying Alice, there's no way we forget about you right? ]
[ that's right Dia didn't forget Alice at all ] followed Dia
Nonono! you're clearly telling her that you forgot about her!!
[ uuu, sobs , uwaaaa!! ] see!!
Alice only calms down when the festival almost started.
