"Se...Senior!".
Aai: "Hey! are you okay!?" she checked on her as she asked.
Belis: "Hmm". she nodded her head.
After, Aai turned back to see it was the same girl who talked to her on the terrace and who was with those girls too.
Aai: "You!".
Lezly: "Wai..wait I.. it's not my fault. She's to blame!". scared by Aai's gaze, she stammered.
Aai: "...Yeah, you hitting her is her fault, then me doing the same to you is!...". she said with an angry look which scared Lezly.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE!?", a teacher came toward them yelling.
"Ugh!.... You better know what to do!?", saying Lezly ran away.
Belis gripped Aai's coat while looking down. Aai simply kept quiet and took her to the infirmary.
At the infirmary,
Belis sat on the bed, gripping her wrist, looking down
Aai: "...I guess I'll go and call Chub". just after saying when Aai was about to open the door, Belis shouts.
Belis: "WAIT!...don't". she felt hesitant.
Then the teacher in charge arrived and asked about their presence.
Hearing Aai's excuse about Belis's health, she was sent back to class while Belis was allowed to rest.
Aai kept thinking during her classes.
After school, when Aai went to check on Belis, she was pacing in the room.
On seeing Aai, she paused,
Belis: "Senior! can I...stay at your home for tonight".
Aai after a short thought allowed her. Then they both went to bring Belis's bag from her class.
Everyone had left the school.
As they reached the class,
Aai: "Go get your bag, I'll wait here!".
Belis went to get her bag while Aai stood in the hallway. Just then Max got out of the next class wearing sports clothes.
Max notices Aai and as he was walking toward her Belis walks out of her class thus bumping into him.
She looks at Max, then apologising she runs to Aai.
Aai notices Max but walks away.
: "Hey Max! Hey, what are you doing here, the others are waiting". a boy calls on Max.
Aai came back early from work and the two had their dinner.
Aai: "Here! have some milk".
Belis: "I'm sorry for the trouble!".
After a moment of silence,
Aai: "...Who's Aki?!".
Belis raised her head, "Well I don't know about him much, but he's the one whom Lezly liked".
Aai sighed, "listen here if you don't strengthen yourself up, you can't fight back. I thought you might try at least defending but...well I've prepared the last room for you, good night".
Belis: "Senior! wait...would you hear me out? It...started on the first day of my class here. It was a whole different environment for me. Knowing I came from another country, the students bombarded me with questions. From them, Lezly was the one most curious. She started being friends with me. If some other boy or a girl came to me to talk, she would cut them off saying that they were trying to take advantage of me. I just got along with her. A month passed and we were like close friends. She began taking me to watch the football club playing and there one day she told me about her crush, Aki. He was a year elder than us.
She would take me with her wherever she went to meet him or give him water.
One day Lezly forgot to bring juice for him so I was waiting with the water for her, there I met Aki.
He was coming back from his practice.
"Aren't you the one always with that girl? You only stand far away, such a cute girl should be in the front. Heard you came from the United. Wow.....well gotta go... it's common in there right then say hello to your friend", he kisses me on the cheek and went away as he was called.
Just then Lezly arrived.
