Chapter. 19. Accompany home.

''We were friends right, so why?".

"Heh friends? If not for your background, who would like to hang out with a dumb like you? You're sooo boring. Rich people usually go all out, party, shop, eat and just flaunt themselves but you, why aren't you showing off? Why are you so simple and...ordinary?... So since you were naive and easy, I thought to show off myself instead of you doing". Lelzy let out everything she had for Belis while Belis still not convinced by Lezly's reasoning.

Belis: "...Lezly, I...meant for this friendship but not anymore. Once you said you hated me while slapping right? now I'm saying I...HATE...YOU". This was the final talk between the two and with this Belis freed herself from Lezly, entirely.

Belis always yearned for friends, love and togetherness. In the States, she was dropped off and picked up by her family chauffeur. Her parents were busy with their work so she was always alone in the house. Even if people interact with her, it was all about their alliance for-profit and honours for her parents. There she was never seen as herself.

Then after transferring and meeting Lezly, whom she found very lively, Belis thought that it would be different here. She tried changing herself according to others, tried to fit herself with others, kept herself low-key, and tried not to show her power or not to belittle others. But knowing Lezly's complaint, it was all back to first. She couldn't understand what to do.

But meeting Aai she looked up to her. Talking to her she felt close and captivated. Though thought that she would be fine after hearing Lezly's reason, she felt hurt and cried sitting in her class.

Aai stood near Belis, patting her back and waiting for her to calm herself.

Aai: "Are you hurt anywhere?".

Belis nodded as yes while wiping her tears.

Aai: "Did someone...Lezly hurt you?".

Belis: "Hmm". After her reply, Aai didn't want to ask nor know about their ending. She was not interested and just didn't want to. All she did was stay quiet and wait for her.

The two then left the school gates and saw a car standing near with a old man speaking on the phone. He noticed the two and walked front them.

''Young miss! you were here? I though you already left on your own as I didn't see you leaving the gates''. the man claimed.

Since the day Belis skipped her school, she was brought to and left home with her chauffeur.

Belis hesitated.

"Are you alright miss?". Belis nodded and holding Aai's finger, she requested, "Senior...could you accompany me home? I won't be able to face brother if he questions me...please?"

They three sat in the car.

When they reached they saw Chub waiting in front the house.

Belis slowly got out the car and walked closer to Chub while Aai followed her.

Chub rushed to them and inquired, "You! where have you been?"

Belis: "Brother!...nowhere brother".

"Young master, young miss was in school. It's just she appeared late". the chauffeur answered.

Belis: "What are you doing here brother?".

Chub: "I was waiting for your return". he said as he sighed. Then he noticed Aai standing behind, he called her out, "Hey Aai! How are you? What's the occasion, it's rare of you to come here?"

Aai: "Hii...I...".

"I brought senior here, she will be staying here". Before Aai could finish Belis interrupted.

Chub was confused, "Stay here?".

Aai: "I'm sorry for the trouble but it's just for a night, excuse me".

Chub: "Hey come on now, you are always welcomed here Aai, feel at home".

They walked in. Excusing herself, Belis ran to her room pulling Aai. Belis was nervous thinking about how to answer when her brother inquires about the reason. As she was asking Aai, they hear a knock on the door.

"Young miss, Miss Aai is being called by young master".

Aai went down to the hall leaving Belis alone in the room.

Chub was talking with the servant, seeing Aai coming he sends him away.

Chub: "Have a sit Aai. What's happening Aai?".

Aai: "Ah?".

Chub: "What's going on with Belis?"
