Milky was excited for the day, Wednesday, to arrive. She really likes Ezra, he was cute when they first spoke to each other. 'Why didn't I speak to him before Arthur came to the school?' was what she thought several times until she observed them closer.
It looks like they are dating. Their behavior towards each other is very intimate. They eat together, hold hands sometimes, and there was this one time Ezra got a paper cut. He didn't need to say anything, but Arthur knew and was immediately worried. Also, they walk out of school together.
Where's the drama everyone was expecting? The rivalry between the real son and the fake son. It is clear to everyone around them that they like each other.
She doesn't plan on separating them. Her mother would be disappointed with her. But if they fall out, she would take her chance with Ezra and ask him out on a date and confess to him.
If he doesn't like her. That's fine. She would just cry for a few days and indulge herself in junk food, after those few days, she would probably be herself again.
"Ezra!" Milky shouts running to the table he and Arthur usually sat at. When she got to their table she felt Arthur's eyes on her. Every hair on her body stood still, and every inch of her body was telling her to run.
However, she ignored it and sat down opposite the both of them. "Oh, Milky," Ezra said in surprise, smiling a bit.
"So where are we going to be studying after school?" she asked.
Ezra's eyes widened. "I forgot!" he said, he then looked at Arthur.
Arthur rolls his eyes and then pinches his cheek. "You worry too much," he said in a teasing voice and released his cheek. It was quite red. "You can come over to my place."
"Will 'he' be okay with me coming over?"
"My house, not his house," Arthur said sounding annoyed.
"You have a house?" Ezra said in surprise.
"Where do you think I lived before?"
Ezra thought for a while. "With your uncle?"
"Well, I live alone."
Milky was quiet and just allowed them to finish talking. Is this how her friends feel whenever she has a boyfriend? It's so weird being on this side of the spectrum.
"We're going to Arthur's house after school," Ezra said excitedly.
"Okay," Milky murmurs. She then took out her lunchbox and opened it.
"What are you doing?" Arthur asked her coldly.
"Eating?" she replies raising an eyebrow at him.
"I can see that," Arthur said harshly. "What I'm talking about is--"
Ezra touches Arthur's shoulder. "She can sit with us, there's nothing wrong with that," he said.
"Thank you, Ezra," Milky said smiling. Then she stuck out her tongue at Arthur, much to his annoyance.
'I will slit your throat,' Arthur thought while glaring at her as she started eating.
After school, Arthur tried to convince Ezra to not do the lesson but Ezra was not listening to him and even blocked his ear and closed his eyes. All this was happening at the entrance of the school's gate.
Milky came over to the scene of Ezra closing his eyes and ears, and Arthur looking very helpless, it is a funny scene to behold.
If the paparazzi saw this, what would happen?
"Hey guys," she said waving at them.
Arthur looks at her indifferently and a few seconds later, Ezra opens his eyes and removes his hands from his ears. "You're here Milky," he said with a friendly voice.
"Here I am," she said nervously.
"Is the driver here?" Ezra asked looking up at Arthur.
Arthur looks to the left side of the road. The car hadn't arrived yet.
"He should arrive soon," he said. About five minutes later, a black car arrived at the front of the school gate. Ezra recognized the driver immediately. 'He's the one who always picked Arthur up every day. This must be an employee of Arthur.
They entered the car and drove away from the school.
They weren't going in the direction of the Dumas family home, to Ezra's relief, but he had no idea where they were going.
They got to the inner part of the city. They soon arrived at a high rise apartment complex. Ezra knew this place. It was built as an expensive apartment complex a few years ago. It was about fifty thousand to rent one apartment building.
Ezra had been here twice in his life because right before he was differentiated to meet some business partners.
"You are very rich," Milky stated in envy. She would sell her soul to have the kind of money Arthur has.
They got down in front of the apartment complex and walked in.
