"Everyone!" Alex's voice called out to his friends as he arrived.
"Alex, you're late."
"Sorry, I wanted to invite someone."
"Huh? Aren't you---" Louise began to inquire, but her words trailed off as she saw the beautiful girl who had come with Alex.
Standing there was Aria Tellus, Adrian's little sister, with her stunning golden blonde hair and unique crimson red eyes, making her stand out even among the academy's populace.
"Aria?" Adrian exclaimed; his surprise evident in his voice.
"Hello, Adrian."
"So, you're the one Alex invited. I guess that makes sense."
Alex, seemingly embarrassed by the situation blushed and scratched his head in the back avoiding making eye contact with me, as he realized that I was already aware of his feelings for Aria.
"It makes sense?" Inquired Louise who was curious.
"Oh, it's nothing."
