Chapter 97: Runic symbol [2]

"...Can you guys stop staring at me?"

As I sat on the chair in the library right at the hidden corner, I grumbled with a tired sigh looking ahead.

A group of students surrounded me from all sides, some from my own class and others from different classes as well.

"...Where were you?" I shifted my focus towards the girl as she asked, narrowing her golden eyes.

"...At a party," I replied, shrugging. And I wasn't lying about that.

"...Whose party?" Aimar asked, giving a half-smile.

"...Why are you asking?" I rebuked, glaring at him.

"Well, looks like he's back to his old habits." The orchid-haired girl chimed in, standing beside Ashlyn with a haughty expression. "...Drugs and alcohol are common at parties."

"...Why are you even here?" I asked, giving her a bright smile.

"...I'm leaving then." Her expression crumbled as she grieved, walking away but not before glaring at me.

"..I will come with yo—"

"Stay here."
