chapter 3

"What's with that stare, girl?"

"Nothing! Just that... He is quite a tall person,"

"I know right!"

Who is this person? Why do I even know her? She can't even realize the sarcasm in my voice.

I glanced at Martin, who was completely embarrassed by my statement, who couldn't even battle an eye.

He seemed to understand the implication.

"By the way, girl, what's his age? He seems a bit older,"

I tried to change the topic.

"Oh, he is 28 years old!"

I balled my eyes out at her declaration.

MF! He is 10 years older than you, bitch!

I glared at him, who didn't even refute and talk about it.

I grabbed Kenya aside.

"Hey! You can't be joking, he is 10 years older than you!"

"Yeah, so?"

"I mean, you both have a very big age gap, at least you should have chosen someone 5 years older or something?"

"Girl, we have been living like 1000 years and you are talking about the age group now?"

"Umm... Kenya's friend," Martin interrupted.

"Mari,"

"Yeah, Miss Mari, I know you are concerned but I like her!" Now you spoke poker face?

"And how will you prove that?"

"Umm... I will try to protect her smile, always!"

"Yeah, you better if you don't want to end up in a cage,"

"Hehe," Kenya let out, she grinned, "Thank you! Mari,"

She hugged me.

"By the way, where are you going?"

"Oh, we were on a date, we were heading to the cinema hall,"

"That sounds great,"

"Yeah, if only you had a boyfriend, we would have gone on a double date,"

Martin was embarrassed.

"Yeah, only in dreams," I replied.

"Why!!? Why don't you get a boyfriend?"

"I haven't found anyone attractive yet, and who will even like me with my personality?"

"But you have good looks,"

"Haha! Jokes on me,"

"You will hit upon him one day and you will thank me,"

"Yeah at that time, till then bye!"

I strolled back to the Academy.

I was still there by the river, till when I arrive at the Academy.

The river water was clear.

I wandered.

Love, huh? That word is undoubtedly not meant for me.

I mean who will ever love a girl whose own father had left her?

I glanced at my reflected self, which was undoubtedly beautiful.

Brunette hair which particularly had a lighter shade like my skin, that unusually perfectly matched with my green eyes.

The clear water bid his farewell and distorted my reflection.

The water soon form waves.

Did I try to find the object that changed the water form into waves after almost 10 years?

I glimpsed sideways, I saw one black shirt floating over the river, kinda looks like a human body.

Huh?

It is a human! Someone is in there!
