She really look glued to the chair. Well, whether she is glued to it or not, he is going to make sure he sees her face today, yes, today, not any other day. He is going to feed his curiosity. Maybe if he sees her, he would stop being curious about her. He is going to see her face, whether she likes it or not.
Various teachers came to teach and for what seems like an eternity,the school day was finally over and the students begin to leave in one's, two's and three's.
Foma, Aya And Lova said good bye to each other and departed.
Lova has not gone far from school when she heard someone calling her name, she looks back and saw Xova walking towards her.
"You must have been waiting all day for the bell to ring because you left immediately " Xova said smiling
"Well, what else am I suppose to wait for when the bell has been rung?" Lova asked
"Uhh.... nothing, ofcourse you can't wait for anything else,I was just joking" Xova said anxiously
"Okay, why were you calling me?" Lova asked
"I just want us to go home together" Xova said while smiling to hide his anxiety
"Do you go the same way as me?" Lova asked surprised
"Yes, or you don't want us to go together?" Xova asked
"No, not that, it is just surprising that I didn't know all these while" Lova said
"Well, I knew but I thought you might not like to walk with me" Xova said with a shy smile
"Why won't I?, I would like to, let's go" Lova said with a sweet smile and they went on their way
Lova has always been lonely going home by herself and has always wished one of her friends or classmates go the same way as her and her wish has just come true, guess there really are some fairies who makes people's wish come true.
Xova knew he goes the same way as Lova (to some extent though), but he didn't know is she'll like to go together and the times he tried to ask her after closing hours, he'll be rounding up some things as the Class rep and before he finished, Lova would be nowhere to be found. Today, he made sure to do what he has to do during break time.
They got to the path where he was supposed to branch and go home but be decided to accompany her a bit more, and when they are some distance to her house, he bid her good bye and asked if she would like to go home together with him everyday. She said Yes and he went back to the path that leads to his house while grinning from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, Mega and Depa are the only one left in the class after the rest has left few minutes ago.
He guess she likes to leave last, so he carried his backpack and left the class but waited outside the gate.
After two minutes, he saw her exiting through the gate and went on her way, she didn't come his way and he couldn't see her face either, so he ran after her, grab her hand and turn her around to face him.
He became speechless seeing her.
This is a girl who looks pathetic, she looks terrific, she looks devastated, she looks sad, she looks pitiful and yet beautiful. She looks broken, so broken, she looks dejected and helpless. He could see her eyes begging for help. His cold heart melted seeing her. For some minutes, none of them said a word, they just stared at each other for what seems like an eternity.
When Mega regain himself and let go of her hand, it seems like she also regain herself as she thundered " Never touch me again".
Yes, she thundered it, not say it because her voice was so thick and vigorous like a thunder.
He move backwards surprised. "What is wrong with her?" He asked within him.
*********
Depa hurriedly went her way. She had a mixed feeling, "that is the first time she has felt like herself in months" one part of her mind thought. "Why had Mega touch her?, Is he now crazy or what?, she needs to stay away from him" the other part of her mind said concluding
As she almost got home, she saw a Rose Flower on the side part which will soon bloom, she looks at it with hatred, pluck it from the ground and threw it away. She had cut the life out of the beautiful flower before it could fully grow.
She entered into the house which was littered and scattered like a mad woman's house, she lives alone and her house is very far from school, it is located on an isolated mountain, a mountain which was filled with different dangerous animals, it's rare for an hunter to even dare come there but she lives there with no fear like it's some palace or something.
The sitting room had no life, only one wooden chair was there with a small wooden table. No television, radio, speaker or fridge was there,it was a real lifeless sitting room.
She went inside her room.
The room was just a little better than the sitting room.
There is a medium sized bed in the left corner of the room, at the right side of the bed stood a mini sized table, on the table was a lamp stand, an unused hair brush, a diary, some pen and pencil, jotters and so on.
At the right side of the room, a small wardrobe was there, it was coloured in black, almost everything in the house was in black, her bedsheets was black, her doors and windows are black.
She went to her bed feeling controlled by her second mind, she went to the table beside her bed and in anger, she use her hand to swipe away all the items on it including the lamp stand, she hadn't like the lamp to begin with.
She lay on her bed and rest in darkness, in silence and in hunger.
She had food but she was really enjoying staying in the darkness and wish every single day, every hour, every minute, every seconds and every moment will be in darkness, total darkness. How wonderful that would be.
