Alessie ran her hand through her head frustrated. Grabbing a book, she sent it flying towards another student. He picked it up and smiled
" Is there anything bothering you? "
" Nope "
She said and took the book from his hand.
" By the way, I'm Alex, a final year pupil "
He said extending his hand.
" Look here Mister, I'm in no mood for a handshake so could you just, you know, leave "
Alessie said angrily yet Alex still stayed there
" You're just as they described you to be "
He said smiling. Alessie's eyebrow furrowed.
" Who? "
" Oh it's nothing. I'll get going "
He said smiling but Alessie held him back.
" No, not until you tell me what you're talking about "
She said angrily.
" Ouch, you do know that this is physical assault. "
He said playing her
" Maybe but it seems you're holding back on purpose. Aren't I right? "
Alessie asked shocking him. Immediately, he turned her around and soon overpowered her
" Yes, you're right "
He said smirking. Alessie also smiled
" Now you're the one assaulting me Mr Alex "
" Alright. I have just come to warn you. "
" Warn me? "
Alessie asked sarcastically
" Yes. It's clear you're still a fresher for Cathy and her friends to hold a huge grudge against you "
Alex said releasing her.
" Okay, could you cut to the chase? "
Alessie said impatiently. Alex smiled
" Stay clear away from Lawrence. You're too good for him "
" You must be joking "
" I'm being serious here. Cathy would forever hunt you down if you're closer to him "
Alex said and left.
" Wait, the jerk and .... and I. No way. Absolutely impossible. "
Alessie said nodding. Just then, Hyeran saw her.
" Alessie! "
She called out excitedly causing the librarian to glare at her.
" Eh uhmm "
" Sorry "
She said and held Alessie's hand quickly
" Come, what happened between you and June? "
" Nothing "
Alessie said lying. Hyeran sighed.
" It's no use playing dumb. Everyone knows you too had a fight "
" G.. good then. If you would excuse..... "
" June got out of the class angrily. Aria pizzed her off "
" How then does it affect me? "
Alessie said pretending not to be worried. Hyeran gave her a knock on the head.
" Now isn't the time to act brave. We have the next class in five minutes and..... "
Hyeran said but Alessie had dashed off. Running, she looked for her. Finally, she saw her in the cafe. Just then, Aria arrived
" Aless..... "
" Oh hi. You didn't see me here alright "
Alessie said sternly and Aria nodded
" Um, yes "
" Good. Take her to class lest you both end up in the detention room "
She said and left. Outside, Hyeran saw her
" Alessie "
" I forgot my makeup kit. Don't wanna lose that so we'll talk later "
She said hurriedly and left.
