章 61: Love Triangle

"U-Um… can we talk?"

I narrowed my eyes at the boy standing on my doorstep. He was so nervous he was trembling.

I wasn't even exaggerating.

He looked like he was moments away from being a part of some unholy sacrifice.

His hands were shaking like dry leaves in a storm, and his wide eyes kept darting around like he was expecting a landmine to explode beneath him at any second.

Unable to resist, I leaned forward and lowered my voice for dramatic effect before shouting, "Boo!"

"Aaah!" He flinched so hard he nearly leapt out of his skin. "W-Why would you do that?!"

I burst out laughing. "Ah, relax. I was having a boring day." 

Calming down, I gave him a proper look from head to toe and arched an eyebrow. "So, who are you, exactly?"

The boy blinked at me, looking utterly bewildered. "Y-You don't remember me?" 

"Should I?" I tilted my head. "Have we met?"
