He's Here!

Her line of sight remained on the book she's been holding since they exited the library. She couldn't help, but to wonder why the second male lead would give her a book?.

Athasia halted 'Wait, I wrote there that he really gave me a book' her eyes widened. She flipped the book and looked for the last page. There, he saw a piece of paper, a stationary type.

"Just like the books, I want to accompany you every chapter"

Athasia was taken aback. She blinked a few times and read the paper again. 'He really gave me a book to confess, but I didn't write there that he asked the librarian to give it to me,' she pondered.

The second male lead confessed to her during the graduation day, but that was also the day when his father already arranged her marriage with the male lead.

'Why is everything happening so early?' She thought.

Just when she was about to make a turn, a groaning sound from the alley on her left side snapped her senses back.

Athasia saw Amber with her two girls, grabbing Callie's hair. Amber had this anger and satisfaction in her eyes. Grinning while holding Callie real tight.

"Hey! What the fuck are you doing?"

Athasia walked forward. With no fear in her eyes, she pulled Callie back, who stumbled onto her chest.

The alley was narrow, so their voices were the only ones echoing there.

Amber's eyes seemed stunned by the sudden force, who also grabbed her arms. However, the revenge didn't leave her eyes. She became more dominant and pushed Athasia away. "Do you think I will forgive what you did in class?!" she snarled.

A glint of coldness escaped from the side of Athasia's darkened amethyst eyes. "Why?" her tone was plain. "Because you're ashamed?"

She smirked and pushed Amber on the hard wall. The blonde girl was taller than her, but Athasia was the one dominating the situation right now. Even the girl who stood beside Amber couldn't move.

Athasia leaned and lifted the girl's chin. "Tell me, Amber. You don't like being weak in front of other people's eyes, right?"

Amber was left in a daze. She couldn't move, even though she wanted to push Athasia away. She gritted her teeth, "Let me go, you!" she yelled. "Is this all of your plan?! Acting like an angel to gain other people's sympathy before completely showing your evil side!"

Athasia gave her a chuckle before pulling her hair backwards. "So what if I am?" she gripped Amber's neck. "If I am the evil one, then.." Athasia smirked. "Mind accompanying me to hell?"

Amber completely shuddered. Her nails almost dug into her closed fist. She's planning on taking revenge by using Callie as a victim to get Athasia's attention, but who would have thought that it will end this way?

Amber was a cunning girl. She came from a rich family and her father was one of the University sponsors. She's not scared to do anything within her power's reach. A playful grin occupied her face, and she swung her hands up towards Athasia's face.

The Young Miss immediately backed away after feeling something painful on her cheeks. Finding out that Amber had a paper cutter in her left hand.

"Hurting you a little won't bother you, right?" Amber laughed. She felt satisfied seeing the small amount of blood from Athasia's porcelain and smooth face.

Athasia wiped her cheeks and licked the blood from her thumb. She spit it out and glared at Amber. "You're a real psycho, huh." she stated. 'Be thankful to me, I'm the one who gave you life in my novel' she thought as littleyoonie.

Callie got so stressed that she immediately took out her handkerchief and gave it to her friend. "A-Athasia! The b-blood!" she blurted out, supporting the Young Miss.

Amber gazed at them with an amused expression, like a kid getting her prize in a game. "I told you to stop provoking me, right?" she grinned widely. "Look at your dear face, it's all ruined now..do you like my gift?"

As soon as Amber stepped forward, Athasia pushed Callie behind her because she knew that the girl would do another trick.

The sharpness of the cutter once again glinted under the setting sun as Amber swayed her hands again.

"Athasia! Watch out!" Callie screamed.

And before Amber could ever reach the Young Miss' face, her wrist got held by someone.

"That's enough." That voice was calm yet full of authority.

Between Amber and Athasia was a young, handsome man. His grey hair was in a mess, like he ran some laps. He's still catching some breaths from those thin lips, showing a deep dimple.

Amber withdrew her hands and tried to hide the paper cutter behind when some students who seemed to be part of the school council went on their way.

"President, what happened here?" one of them asked. She looked at Athasia and was surprised upon seeing her face. "She's bleeding, are you alright?"

The young man took out the handkerchief from Athasia's hand and pressed it on her cheeks. "Does it hurt a lot?" his breath almost tickled the Young Miss' nose.

Athasia backed away and pressed the handkerchief with her hands. "I-I'm fine," she mumbled. Callie sprang beside her, "Let's go to t-the school c-clinic,"

The young man turned to Amber. "Do you know that what you're doing is dangerous? What are you trying to do?" He looked at the students who followed him. "Bring these two students to the council and get their names and what class they're in.."

And they did what's been told to them.

The young man once again turned to Athasia and grabbed her hand, tight but gentle. "Come with me," his voice was pleasant and worried.

Speechless, Athasia let herself get dragged all the way to the school clinic with Callie behind them.

She couldn't speak because even she couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. Her cheeks flushed as soon as she saw him in that state.

She adored this character so much in her novel.

It's Vincent Skyler, the student council president and the second male lead.
