章節 20: Chapter 19
Female mystery person~~
I knew Selena had an allergy to daisies and thought it was the perfect strategy to commence with her. This time around, he anticipated zero knowledge about my scheme, well I figured I could deal with it on my own. It was merely getting a bouquet of daisies and getting a soul to mail it anonymously. It wasn't even arduous to plot everything on my own. I was all dressed up as I made my way downstairs.
"Good morning” I announced delightfully as I made my appearance known. He was still in his pajamas, making breakfast and I, for one, was all dressed up ready for the day.
He scrunched his face in surprise.
“Good morning...,” he dragged his words.
"You are surprisingly up early today, anything I should know about?”
I grabbed an apple from the basket on the counter. “ Nope, just feeling stimulated and looking forth to what today has installed for every soul out there,” I said and took a bite from the apple.
He stared at me with skepticism and I rolled my eyes and laughed “what!? I said, shrugging my right shoulder.
“Nothing,” he said looking away.
I shook my head and went back to my room, this time, returning with my backpack and car keys. I infiltrated the kitchen and there was no whiff of him.
“Hey, I'm off” I shouted, loud enough for him to hear me, wherever he was.
I went out of the mansion and shut the door behind me. I pressed my car remote, making the car honk. Unlocking the car and hopping in, I shut it tight and took my phone out.
“She must be up by now” I babbled to myself heartily as I typed on my phone. Selena would have a stunning morning with the present I was sending her.
SEND IT NOW.
I sneered and pressed the SEND button.
“And...done! Easy peezy” I said and drove off.
I went through the rest of the day completely acting normal.

Scarlet's POV~~
It was a Wednesday morning, and I was on my route to school. I remembered Selena wouldn't be in school, and it kinda made me awful. “I wonder how she was gonna hide her body blemishes from her parents.” I worried.
“Hey!” Someone called out from behind the instant I got out of my car. I whirled my neck, and it was Ann, she latched her car and trotted towards me.
“Morning...” she cheered in high vitality with a wide smile.
“Morning I replied, returning the smile.
“You are early, what's up?” She proceeded as we both waddled towards the hallways.
“It's kinda like a Wednesday morning thingy”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yup”
“It feels nice meeting you here like this and getting on with you,” she said abruptly. I furrowed my brows at her with a skeptical look on my face.
“Why?”
“You know, being fresh here and everything...” she said.
“Oh that?, don't worry, you will settle in reasonably better than you expected. I mean, she looked like the kind everyone would want to be friends with, and she seemed rather charming.
“I hope so too” she augmented just when we got to the lockers, mine to be precise.
“Are you always this optimistic?” I hurled the question of which has been bugging me since meeting her.
She laughed. “ Well, I have my unpleasant days too, but I don't let them get in my way”
I nodded slowly in agreement. “I guess that makes sense”
Suddenly, the bell rang making me realize how much time we spent chit-chatting.
“Gotta go, see ya,” Ann declared with a gush and dashed off. I wriggled my head, fascinated by her. I took my book from my locker and made my way to class.

I glanced around with my lunch on a tray held with both my hands as I scanned the crowd for Lucas. After a thorough scan and still not locating him, I looked for a place to sit. Selena was absent, Lucas was nowhere to be found, leaving me with no one to hang out with. I used to only loll with Selena before Lucas surfaced, and now they were both not around.
I sighed feeling their absence around me as I strolled towards an empty chair around a table of few quietly eating students. Picking my fork up, I dipped into my lunch quietly.
“Is this seat taken” I turned around to see Ann indicating to the empty seat across me. I shook my head vigorously.
“No, you can sit.” She suddenly furrowed her brow making her eyes scrunch together.
“I couldn't help but notice your friend has not been around since yesterday.” Is everything okay with her?”
“You mean Selena?, she's slightly not feeling well, nothing a little rest can't cure though.” I asked rhetorically and without waiting for a response, replied to her question.
“Well that's good to hear,” she said with a smile and commenced to dig into her lunch.
We continued to eat in silence till I heard her speak again.
“So...” she dragged her words. I slightly twist my head my brows ceased together.
“ So...what?”
“ So tell me something about yourself” she chuckled.
I rolled my eyes. “This is stupid”
“Why is it stupid
“Well...because it just is”
“Come on, give it a try”
“Why”
“Because I want us to be friends too”
I let out an irritable sigh, still grinning at her across the table.
“What do you want me to tell you? My favorite color or what?”
She shrugged “If that's the route you wanna go, sure why not, it's a start”
I shook my head and gave in. “It's blue”
“What a coincidence, that's my favorite
color too” she shrieked.
“Anything interesting?”
I scoffed. “ Oh so that wasn't interesting to you?”
She shook her head vigorously. “No...no, I
meant...” I burst out laughing.
“I was just goofing around with you” she rolled her eyes at me, feigning hurt.
“So how does it feel attending middle school and high school at the same institution?” She inquired out of nowhere, a question I never guessed anyone would ever ask, I looked at her wide-eyed as I shifted uncomfortably on the chair.
“What's cooking ladies” Lucas suddenly joined us out of nowhere.”
“Hey babe,” he said kissing me and taking the seat beside me. I wanted to ask him about where he had been since morning but Ann's question kept looming in my head.
“Scarlet was just about to talk about how middle school was like for her at this very school,” Ann said with her eyes fixed on me. I looked at Lucas beside me, and he had an interested look on his face and his hands folded together on the table.
