5 Chapter 5 : Deskmate to Lovers (5)

Taylor POV:

Taylor: "Did you just hit a classmate just now?"

Lucia: "something wrong with that?"

Taylor: I took a deep breath and said carefully, "Don't you always tell me to advocate school violence? Now aren`t you the one doing violence."

Lucia: "The one I am doing is different totally not the same."

Taylor: "Why not?" I was really confused.

Taylor: I frowned. It turned out that Lucia was not a good student, and I suddenly instantly felt that we were getting closer. There was something about Lucia that always seems to draw me in.

Lucia`s behaviour made her a little tempted.

Lucia turned her head and looked at me seriously, "I was just defending us, and to protect you, I had to take actions to resist the violence of Rica. Both of us, in order not to be hurt, proper defence is desirable."

Lucia: "Did you see her get severe injuries which are life threatening?"

Taylor: "No."

Lucia: "Did she go and complain on us?"

Taylor: "No."

Lucia: "Is it not okay to stand up for yourself? When she didn't continue fighting, I didn't do anything to her. I asked her to go to the hospital for filming, and she didn't want to go, obviously there was no problem."

Taylor: I just got more confused... is that right?

Taylor: I always feel something is wrong.

Lucia: "Taylor darling, don't think about illegal behaviours, pre-read the content of the class, and be more efficient. Don't forget that you have to teach the child piano and communicate spoken English language after school."

Lucia: "Think about your tuition fees for the next semester."

Taylor: "..." amazing how she changes topic.

Taylor: I saw the key points outlined in the textbook, and then looked at Lucia's full on study mode. Well they say if you can`t beat them join them.

Taylor: I don't know if it's Lucia's reason. I always feel that I can easily spend a morning class and basically understands most of the topic.

Taylor: Looking at Lucia`s who was still burying her head for the exercises, I said, "I'm going to the cafeteria." Before Lucia could speak or stop me, I took off and went out of the classroom.

Taylor: Coincidentally, when I came to the cafeteria, I ran into two people I least wanted to see, Camilla and Joe.

Camilla stood beside Joe with a sweet face. Camilla must have felt that she should say something, and said: "Taylor, how are you?"

Taylor: I did not respond. Who does this bitch think she is.

Camilla: she said again: "I'm sorry Taylor, I'm really sorry I was wondering if we could talk."

Taylor: I still did not respond. Hold it in Taylor Lucia said no violence.

Camilla lowered her head and bit her lower lip. Her hands were clenched together. Everyone suddenly felt bad for her.

Joe frowned and held her hand, but stared at Taylor, "Hey Taylor, Camilla is talking to you!"

Taylor: I still did not respond. Who does this dog think he is, ugh why is it hard to eat in peace?

Joe felt bothered with how I was ignoring him and for also not giving him face in front of outsiders, so he stretched out his hand to pull my arm. But suddenly, another hand came and grabbed his hand, and twisted it , Joe yelled out loudly.

Joe: "Ah!"

Lucia, let go of his hand, and leaned on the table, looking at him Expressionlessly, "I thought I had a broken bone, you screamed like a girl just now. Joe i hope you will leave Taylor alone."

Joe: "Lucia!" Joe also felt humiliated and glared at her angrily with his right hand.

Camilla checked Joe's injury, and said anxiously: "Joe, let's go to the hospital. It is already red and swollen." She cried pitiful tears and looked at Joe and choked up, "Taylor, Lucia I am the one at fault, don't be angry with Joe, He needs his hand for the big match coming up." And just like that She left and I got dragged away by Lucia.

Taylor: "Lucia, why are they so annoying? What did I do to them me. I only ignored them.

If I had not been dragged tightly by Lucia, I would slapped Camilla, even if I knew the consequences, I would have done it.

Lucia: "After eating, you will rest for a while and then practice dancing."

Lucia: "You still have a show on New Year's Day."

Looking at the wrist that has not been loosened, I felt a warm current pass my heart. Having someone protecting me and helping me is a wonderful feeling to have. " Ok, I won`t beat her up then."

The corner of Lucia's mouth gently raised, "It's not that I'm not allowing you to defend yourself but you also need to pay attention to methods you use."

Taylor: "What do you mean?"

Lucia: Lucia just said, " Take a 20-minute break, you go to dance. In the afternoon, do a few more exercises You still have to earn tuition fees after school, and your entanglement with Camilla all day will affect the learning progress."

Taylor: "..." I suspected Lucia just wants to make her a nerd like her. Well at least there will be two hot nerds. Wait did I just admit that Lucia is hot. Yeah lets move on.

Lucia: "You used to be so amazing, even if you don`t have your reputation, you have to live a richer life," Lucia, raised her eyes, clasping my wrist, and dragging me to the seat. Sitting down opposite, she reached out and lifted my tangled hair. The blue eyes flashed a strange light. "I hope that people can see the most beautiful side of you at the New Year Party."

Taylor: I blushed and hid my face to not show how much her words affected me , I am looking forward to the arrival of the New Year's party, showing her the best and most beautiful side of myself. Ugh when did nerds learn how to flirt.

Taylor: "OK, I will listen to you."

Lucia: "Not only that, I also want you to be smarter in your studies."

My heart was still beating, even gwhen I heard Lucia`s voice continue to penetrate her eardrum,

Lucia opened a book and started reading, and I stopped talking when I saw her busy.

Taking a 20-minute break, Lucia took her to the dance studio. Standing aside, watching me picking up the ballet again and again. My mood is no longer so dark, I always had been good at ballet. Previously Lucia said that she hopes me to be amazing. I can't help but to show my perfect side while jumping here and jumping.

After the jump, I couldn't wait so I walked in front of Lucia. "How was I ?" I didn't find the emotions I wanted in her eyes.

Lucia: "it was good."

With only three simple words, I was still satisfied. This feeling of being recognized by the person you might like is wonderful. Yes I won`t deny it during the period of close contact with Lucia, I started feeling so happy and always had a smile on just thinking about her. So caring and protective, even if I don't know why she is helping me I can`t stop this feeling. is it possible to fall for a person so fast.

Taylor: I thought that it was a joke that Lucia wanted her to be smarter. Later, I was shocked to see that the she was preparing a study plan for me.

I grabbed Lucia`s wrist, "Hey, are you for real?" don`t she knows how much I hate studying.

Lucia, the first in the whole grade, did this guy want me to take the first grade from her with the amount of studying she is forcing me to do.

Lucia: " hundred percent real."

I looked at the dense learning plan and felt the urge to lose conscious. "We have a common enemy, but you don't need to sacrifice so much. I still have confidence in my score."

I am is not a fool, Lucia does not want me to use bully Camilla, fearing that my future gets destroyed.

The most legal way is to study, any way to take Camilla down, it is best to study.

The more she excels, everyone will feel that Joe is blind for choosing Camilla over her. Why is my little nerd so cute? I have the urge to kiss her.

Lucia: "I hope you are the first in every aspect, perfect. So good that Camilla regrets provoking you." Lucia pushed the black framed glasses and said flatly, "You don't think your tasks is to just dance the ballet well, learn well, and earn enough tuition fees?"

I froze, didn't I? there is more.

Lucia: "Barker family suppressed Stone family, made your family bankrupt, and annexed your family, you are willing to let that go?"

I didn't respond for a while, and carefully looked at the cute girl who looked like an ordinary high school student, Lucia. I am liking you more and more.

Taylor: "Can I do that?", of course I hope to recapture my family pride one day and revenge everything we once suffered.

Lucia:"can." That one word truly warmed my heart.

Taylor: "Lucia," I took a deep breath. "Okay, I listen to you."

The corner of Lucia's lips was slightly curved.
