NOVEL NEXT Chapter 98: [WAIT A MINUTE]
"WHAT?!" Shelly shounted in shock.
"You… don't know?" I asked even more confuded.
"No… I don't," She replied, looking with squinted eyes.
This is strange.
How come he never knew I was her new roommate, and Lucas himself knows.
That makes zero sense.
"Didn't you recieve any message?" I asked to which she thought deeply.
"Well, there was this one time a letter was sent to me," she said after some silcence.
"Letter?" I reiterated.
"Yes," She nodded.
But why would the school send a letter to her when the messgae can just be forwarded via her metawatc?
"So what…? You didn't read it?" I asked, to which she nodded, makinf a rather ridulous expression.
"Well, the letter wan't directly gievn to me. It was instead given to him to hand it over to me"
"…Which he didn't," I added to whch she nodded.
Tsk.
Once something invovles the main charcter plotholes become the order of the day.
First instead of sendinf the mesage staight to her like was sone with me, through the metawatch, it was instead sent in the form of a letter.
Wait.
What a fcuking minute?!
Could it actully be that, that basatrd vice-princial actually planned all this?!
….Don't tell me.
"Who gave the letter to hiM?" I asked to which she tilted her gaze, looking to the sky, "It was Miss Melina. He said something about it being from the vice-princeipal for me,"
….Okay let me get this struagght.
Firstly, I get sent to the very room Lucus's childhood friend was in, next, A letter was then sent to LUCAS, in the guise of it being for Shelly. If it was intened directly for her consumption why was it handed ocver to Lucas for him to guve it to her. It's obvious they wanted him to read it's content.
"So… He didn't tell you what it was about?" I asked to which she just shook her head.
"No. Well, I did try to get the content out of him, sinc ei was originally paniciing, not sure why the authoristeis would diretly send me a message,but… He didn't burge, he said it was some mistake, I didn't have to worry about it. He said he would take care of it," she said, frowning as she began pecingin it altogether.
I see.
Come to think of it. That day Lucas challenged me, Shelly wasn't around. Could it be he delibratly waited for her to leave before he changled me?
Hm.
But it actaoly makes sense, consdiering her gentle chacrter, he could tell she would accept the room cagnge withouyt any quims.
Something he wouldn't accept considering the rumors surrounding me.
Hm.
Seems our boy lucas is a little overprotective of hi childhood love.
Weird.
Was he this attentive towards her in the novel?
I don't think so.
Or could it be due to some beautuful effect?
I… honestly don''t know.
Wait.
What if I am thinking about this in the wrong dimention?
What if… the challege was all a trap?
What if Lucas was MADE to chlalenge me?
In exchange he gets to swap rooms and protect his childhood sweetheart?
Hm.
That actually makes sense.
If I had accepted the duel, it obviously would have involved terms, and there is a possibilty thoses terms or rather, the stake I would place was actaully what the bastard vice principal was after.
Perhaps he wanted me in a tight corner, though, I have no idea what exactly a term he would have given that would lead to that.
"Then…" She suddenly sprang up and held my hands, "We would be roomates till we graduate!" She said excitedly, to which I could only pity Lucas who was trying so despralty to 'save' her. If he saw her all chummy with me, the guy might actually lose it.
Hm.
Maybe I should do it in front of him.
'Sighs. Just don't get yourself killed,' chimmed Nelia who had been oddly silent for a while now.
'So you finally decied to talk?' I asked.
'….,'
Silence.
It seems she's still angry.
Though I still can't tell why.
'FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU RYAN!'
Anway, the cursing Nelia aside, right now I and Shelly were seated in the middle of the rooftop chatting, as both Elena and Leon had taken the risk to survey the lower floors if there were still vamires lurking about. It was now 2pm on the dot and the sun was already starting to show signs of setting, those bastard better agree to my terms or I would ust take Shelly and ecape alone.
"I don't think so. Only after the grading exams will we get permanent roomates," I said to which she then frowned.
"Yeah. You're right. Anywa, since we will be roomates for now, let me make this clear. I don't know how to cook those foreign or classy delicaies you might be used to, so don't get your hopes up," She said, rubbing beneath her nose with a funger, wearing a dowbnn right weird expression.
"Who asked ypu to cook. I don't want to die young," I said, turning to the door as I could hear fant sound of footsteps.
"W-WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, JERK?!" She punched me, a punch that nearly killed me!
Damn this fucking weak body!
"A-ah, Sorry!" She paniced as she saw me clutching my sides.
She grabbed my upper body and made me rest on her lap as she began chaninting some healing spell.
Hm.
Foe some reason, I feel like this is worth the pain.
I looked closly at her face.
Stunnng.
Her beauty just wasn't dimming no matter how many times I looked at her.
She was at the same level, probably a tiny, tiny, bit cuter than selena.
No.
They were the same.
Escpecially when selena goes docile mode.
"Why are you smiling, Don't tell me you just tricked me," I heard an annoyed tone and turning to see Shelly, for the first time, staring at me with narrowed eyes.
She looked complifelely different.
"Bam," I said, playfully tuching her nose.
'WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE AN IDIOT?' I heard Nelia, trying to deisturb my peace.
'Shut it. I… I just feel like this might be the last time I will be able to be myself. You know, all this masks sometimes makes you feel lonely,,' I replied, closing my eyes to feel thw wind as I ignred ewhatever Nelia had to add next.
Selena.
… I really don't want to see her.
Not because I hate her.
No.
It's because I…
Sighs.
I don't want to fall for her.
But, I can already feel it.
It's just Like with Renay.
I kept denying it, but ust one day, I relaized I couldn't stop thinking about her.
She took adanavateg of that, with time I couoldn't resist.
I began wantng her.
The same way I am now wanting Selena now.
But…
I am afraid.
Not because I don't want to be heart broken or something.
NO.
It's becuade it always ends on way.
Me lossing the one thing I want the most.
It's not the first time.
Not the seond.
Not the third.
But I don't want a fifth.
I don't want to feel that guilt anymore.
'Stop it,'
'What?'
'Stop think you are alone you idiot! I just wish I could come in there and slapp some seneies into you!'
'Hehe,' I smiled.
Yeah.
Sorry about that.
You are always with me.
'I am, so stop think you are alone. I hate that,'
'Alrught, my bad,'
BAM!
I looked to the side and found a horrifed Leon and a pale looking Elena.
"We.., agree. Just get us the fuck out of this place!" I heard Elena speak through ragged breathing.
About damn time!"WHAT?!" Shelly shounted in shock.
"You… don't know?" I asked even more confuded.
"No… I don't," She replied, looking with squinted eyes.
This is strange.
