Chapter 1

Classes have started and all you did was listen, understand, and take notes.

Once the current subject ended, you took a break and went to the cafeteria.

In your last school, you barely had friends. So it was not unusual for you to be alone.

You were already used to loneliness.

After buying your lunch, you bumped into someone while walking.

"Ack- I'm sorry." The person said.

You looked at the person with lifeless eyes and discovered that he was extremely handsome.

Sandy blonde hair and grey blue eyes. It was an exceptional look.

Little did you know that he was looking at your E/c orbs mesemerizingly and stared at your appearance for quite a while.

"It's alright." You quickly evaded him and continued to walk.

"Edmond! Sorry, the queue was very long. Here, your lunch."

"Lance, do you know that girl?" He pointed at your back.

"Hm? Ah, she belongs to class 1 in 2nd year. She recently transferred because of scholarship. News spread fast after all." Lance said as he munched his lunch.

"What's her name?" Edmond asked.

"Oof- Did I hear that clearly? Our campus crush is asking for a girl's name!?"

"Cut it."

"Her name is Y/n L/n." Lance replied quickly.

"Hmm. I see. Let's go."

...

You opened the door and entered the classroom.

The break was an hour long. Since you don't have anything to do, you just slept on your desk.

You woke up again when classes started.

"Okay. Who can answer and explain this equation here? Anyone?"

The problem was easy in your eyes.

You raised your arms and the teacher called you.

"Yes, L/n."

You stood up and started stating the answer clearly in specific. Your explanation was brief yet it was probably the most correct answer that held an impact.

You didn't realize that two crimson eyes were staring at you openly.

"Correct. You can take your seat." The teacher said.

Mathematics was the last subject of the day.

It was time to go home yet you were stopped by four certain girls.

"Are you Y/n?" One of them asked.

"Yes. Why?" You asked thinly.

"I saw you bumping on Edmond earlier. Did you do that on purpose?" Another asked.

"No." You replied briefly.

"Look at this slut. It's only her first day here yet she's already seducing someone."

You didn't realize that a slap landed on your cheek.

When you felt the hurting sensation, you were reminded of your relative's abuse and your hands shook in fear.

"Look at her! Pretending to be scared and all! How cheap."

'What's their problem?' You thought.

When you were pushed by another girl, two warm hands caught you.

"Are you alright?" He said.

You look at him and recognized him. He was the silver-haired who smiled at you in class earlier.

He felt your trembling hands and saw how you hugged yourself in comfort.

"What's going on here?" He sent a sharp gaze at the girls.

"Harold. We were just teaching this slut a le-"

"Slut?" He said.

"From my perspective, you bunch are more of a slut. Whore even. Look at yourselves, cakey make-up, short skirts and-"

"Stop. We're going first. Let's go girls." The leader said.

"Th-thank you. Please let me go."

He was still embracing your small body.

"Oh, sorry." He let you go with a bit of hesitance.

"Thanks again..." You thanked yet you didn't know his name.

"I'm Harold. You can call me Harry." He said.

"Thank you so much Harry. I'll get going-"

Before you could escape your situation, he suddenly caressed your cheeks and his face held a dark expression.

"Your cheeks are red. I have an ointment just a second."

He took an ointment from his pocket and was about to put some in your cheeks.

"I can do it-"

"Stay still."

His fingers rubbed the cream in your cheeks and it felt like a massage.

"Done."

"Thanks. See you tomorrow."

He nodded and you walked home.

-Harold Lennox 3rd POV-

'So boring.' He thought.

The moment you entered the room, the first thing he noticed were your lifeless E/c eyes and he can't help but be intirgued by it.

When you introduced yourself, he heard nothing but music in his ears.

When you met his gaze, his heart was beating like crazy and he felt hotness from his face.

He didn't like it when you looked away from him. He wanted you to only look at him.

When you answered the problem in Mathematics, he can't help but admit that he was attracted to you.

While he was preparing his things, he noticed that your presence was gone.

He immediately looked for you and caught you being pushed by some girl.

He also noticed your burning cheek.

This made him feel the want to kill.

When you fell in his arms, he smelled the faint scent of your hair. Your body was small and it perfectly fit in his embrace.

It made him want to hug you forever.

When you separated ways with him, he was craving for your presence.

"Did you do it?" He talked to semeone in his phone.

"Yes. They're already here young master." The voice replied.

"Good. I'll arrive there in few minutes."

He went inside in the car and arrived in his mansion.

He walked inside and went underground.

He opened the door and saw four girls tied on a chair.

"Mmpf!"

"Mmph hmm"

You can hear their muffled voices and sobbing.

"So....who among you called Y/n a slut?" Harold said in a dark expression.
