Unexplainable signs

"Hey, can you please behave yourself!" Lilith shrugged her shoulders, trying to shoo the guy leaning on her. It's making her arms numb and painful because it's almost an hour since the male leaned on her shoulders.

Shaun ignored her. He yawned and closed his eyes. "I-I'm s-still sleepy" he whispered. He squinted his eyes upon feeling Lilith's hands on his head.

"Stop pestering me so early in the morning! My arms and shoulder are getting numb. You're too heavy!" Lilith snorted inside the car. She gritted her teeth and snorted once more. She knows that the more she pushed Shaun, the more he would cling onto her.

She furrowed, her brows almost meet between her nose. She's very annoyed because this guy over here just barged into their house and told her mom that he'll going to accompany her to school. And since her mom trusted Shaun so much, she gave her permission.

Little did they know that Shaun pulled all the nighter playing games until 5 am. He didn't even fix his appearance properly. He skipped breakfast and dashed to Aphelion's mansion so early in the morning to drive Lilith to school.

Shaun groaned. He must be dreaming that he's still in the game. He snuggled into Lilith's shoulders while gripping her arms. With his head beside Lilith's cheeks, the smell of his shampoo invaded the girl's nostrils. The girl looked down, tracing the sweet scent. It made her gaze at Shaun's greyish brown hair. It was messy but looked so soft.

Unconsciously, her hand brushed it. "Geez! How could you fetch me so early that you didn't even have the time to fix your hair?". Her lips curled up without her noticing. Lilith paused and jolted when she realized that she's smiling so suddenly.

The car joggled when a stray cat crossed the street so suddenly the moment the traffic light turned green. It surprised their driver that he almost forcefully pulled the brake.

"Argh!"

Shaun groaned, rubbing his forehead. He fell and bumped into the back of the driver's seat. "W-What w-was t-that?" he mumbled, squinting his closed eyes.

The driver immediately apologized and continued the ride.

"Why are you disturbing me so much? I'm still sleepy…" Shaun snorted like he's dreaming in the clouds. He crawled back to his seat and pulled the figure next to the car window. "L-Lilith, Scold my driver. He's disturbing my sleep," he mumbled, not even knowing that he's already cupping the girl's cheeks.

Lilith's back stiffen, she couldn't move. Shaun is compressing her more and there are no more spaces left between them. Even if the guy was still sleeping and feeling like walking in the clouds, Lilith found it awkward and embarrassing. "H-Hey, y-your t-too----"

Shaun opened his eyes, then both of them looked at each other. Instead of feeling shy, he smiled and pinched the girl's cheeks. "Why are you so red?" Shaun giggled and went back to sleep on her shoulders.

Lilith clenched her fist, hearing this unexplainable sound from her chest. "I'm going to sue you, you dumb," she cursed in her thought.

"What happened to you?"

Liechael greeted Lilith the moment she entered the student council's office. He saw the unexplainable expression from the girl while trudging towards their desk. Few seconds later, Shaun followed her inside.

Shaun passed by Liechael and tapped his shoulders, "Yow" he said it very low, different from his usual giddy aura. Then he sat down on the desk with his face sunk on his laptop.

Liechael looked at Lilith and was about to ask, but the girl was quick enough to see through his questions. "He stayed up playing games until 5 am in the morning," she snorted while massaging her right arm and shoulders.

The girl then opened her laptop and rolled her eyes. You can see in her eyes that she's quite irritated.

Meanwhile, Liechael gazed at Shaun for the last time before sitting beside Lilith. He nagged the girl slightly. "You told me that my father was the owner of this school, right?" he asked.

Lilith paused from typing, and her head quickly spun to the boy. "Chael? Why are you asking me about your parents?" she frowned.

This idea made Liechael silent for a while. It's not that he's asking the girl all the information, it's because Lilith told him that he's the school owner's son. He just wants to make sure that he's right. "I-I'm sorry," he mumbled as he turned his eyes back to the monitor.

'Will Vlad tell me everything if I ask him?'

Vlad mentioned something to him when he asked him to buy some art supplies. It was related to his father. He should have investigated first his family in this world before his circle of friends. Isn't it a bit suspicious? His father never visited or contacted him the moment he occupied this body. Liechael pondered for a minute, leaving him silent. Shouldn't he be living in the same house as his father? Why is he living with his aunt instead of him?

Liechael stood up and excused himself. He went outside and leaned on the wall next to the glass door of the office. He slipped out his phone and dialed Vlad's number. The male didn't even take a minute to answer his call.

"Hello, young master? Why did you call me so suddenly? Is there any problem? Don't you feel well? Do you want me to fetch you right now?...Hello? Young master? Please answer me"

Liechael lowered his head. He didn't know what to answer the piled up questions. Vlad really cares for him, even if he's just a butler. "What's with the questions? I call because I have something to ask"

Vlad, on the other line, who's busy arranging the books in their house library, beamed. Who would have thought that his young master is now giving him orders after days of staying silent. Though he asks so many questions because he's afraid that Liechael will fall into trouble again. "What is it, young master?" he immediately replied.

Liechael's face turned serious. He gripped the phone and said, "Can you ask my father to at least see me?"
