That day it rained down on the earth with its swift and wet water, Rain in July! It is not a scene that often happens, summer that brings rain as if a sign that something bad will happen.
A pair of golden eyes propped up her chin with a blank look, onto her two beautiful eyes staring out the window in boredom.
"Arlana, I'm going to go play basketball, why don't you come to look?"
Not responding to Zale speaking by her side, Arlana just kept quiet. Since yesterday when I met Alen, Zale has become more and more chatty. He also became more and more clingy to her. It's really annoying for Arlana.
"I'll be waiting for you! I will really wait for you!" Zale repeated his words before being dragged away by his classmate.
After the silence from Zale's departure, Arlana heaved a sigh of relief. He felt his age to be a few years older by being around Zale.
Seeing the whole class that looked relaxed and not too many students, Arlana got up from her seat to head to the library room.
It is currently an afternoon class before heading home, so the subject is to allow the students to study independently. Of course many students prefer to play, or exercise like Zale.
Although outside of the heavy rain, the school sports hall is inside and very spacious, it can accommodate several students with each different sporting activity.
As Arlana walks out of the classroom, a round-looking girl carrying food hits her by accident. The food brought by the girl seemed to be on the floor.
"Uuh! Sorry, I-" said the girl stuck in her throat as her pair of round eyes stared at the person she was banging on, it was Arlana! He swallowed his rough saliva with a little nervousness.
"Forget it, it's not your fault!" Arlana answered flatly towards him without realizing that the girl was in a tight silence.
He helped pick out his scattered food before handing it to the girl and leaving indifferently.
"Wohh!!! He helped you pick up your food on the floor! Isn't that great Kanaya!" A girl walked closer towards Kanaya who was only silent while looking at Arlana's back away.
...... Arlana continued to walk through each hallway of the classroom which seemed a little quiet. His golden eyes wandered towards the rain that fell on the ground. The sound of rain was loud and muffled the sound of chatter from the students.
Arlana's body seemed to tighten for a moment as her beautiful eyes stared right at a place. That place is where Zale kissed her!
Sensing a strange sensation in her agitated heart, Arlana turned her eyes in haste and hurried away to move her legs away.
He's forgotten it! The incident where Zale kissed her had completely forgotten about. However, that memory sometimes comes across his mind whenever he looks in the direction where it happened. Especially when it was raining heavily, making those memories clearer in his mind.
In the past few days as well even though he seemed indifferent and did not care about Zale who continued to stick, inevitably Arlana who was always calm would be restless if Zale did things that were too strange.
Call it when Arlana was eating a potato chip, when she would eat half of the snack in her mouth. Zale's lips pressed against his lips to grab his food.
Arlana of course was angry and even slapped Zale, but not in the face was so flushed red like a rotten tomato. His heart rate was also pounding irregularly.
To deal with a man like Zale, Arlana had made her heart as hard as a rock and made a great distance away from him. But it seemed that it was free, Zale would break through the distance he made without a hitch.
"Silk4n!!!" Arlana cursed loudly while slamming a book in her hand.
He is now in the library to read. But his mind was unfocused and instead thought about how annoying Zale had been for quite some time.
Dropping her head on the table, Arlana let out a long sigh. Once again her beautiful golden eyes stared blankly at his side. The place should not be quiet, there will always be a chatty Zale there saying many things.
"Forget over! What's wrong with me?! It's like I'm lonely and miss him! Arlana are you crazy!" As she thought back to Zale, Arlana involuntarily shouted loudly at herself like a madman
"Sttt...!!! Don't be noisy!"
Getting a reprimand from the library manager who glared at him, Arlana bowed apologetically before leaving the place. He was too embarrassed to stay!
Because she can't focus on reading, so Arlana thinks it's better to go back to class to pick up a bag and go home!
Arlana's footsteps stopped when she realized that her place was a crowded place. He stared at the place before him with a blank look.
Arlana didn't know if she should cry or laugh. He simply walked out of the library with a blank mind and was now on the side of the basketball court. This place is opposite of the road to her class!
"Arlana what are you doing?!" Arlana massaged her eyelids lightly, undeniable that Zale's existence for her began to give her some ill effects. It cannot be kept on leave or the walls he builds will waver!
Arlana who wanted to leave the place stopped immediately and without realizing it, eyes to his emasan followed the index finger of the girl as if a natural thing was done.
"The girl was lucky. I also want to give Zale drinking water..!"
Zale was wearing a sports shirt, his handsome face was visibly drenched in sweat. As if the sweat did not damage it at all, it added a more masculine and slightly sexy impression. Making Zale look much more handsome and exciting, in contrast to his silly attitude that always laughs.
Arlana's body stiffened looking at Zale, he was drinking a water given by a girl. The girl is the girl Arlana and Zale met on a rainy day last time. He didn't know why, but his chest skipped a beat and was a little agitated.
Unknowingly Arlana stepped back uncomfortably!
"Hey be careful!!!" A gentle-sounding male voice echoed. He caught Arlana's shoulder from behind "If you keep walking backwards without looking, you'll hit someone!"
Arlana did not respond to the man's words, she just kept silent and kept staring at Zale without blinking.
The man did not feel irritated, he just smiled lightly and followed Arlana's gaze. His smile grew wider and he said "Are you jealous of Arlana?"
Arlana's body jerked in shock instantly, she regained her senses and looked at the man by her side. It's Alen! Staring at the smiling handsome face by her side, Arlana realized her folly. He turned his face flat and answered Alen's question "Am I?"
Alen shrugged his shoulders indifferently "Come, I thought you were jealous to see Zale with another woman!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"All right! I'll stop!" Alen no longer continued flirting and chose another topic of conversation "But I never expected that you would come to watch!"
"I never expected you to do the same! Do you have shameful hidden feelings?!" The answer that Arlana gave was as harsh, she would not lose talking to anyone but Zale.
"Haha~ alright I'll stop teasing you!" Alen looked defeated and gave up at that very moment "You know, because I knew that you wouldn't be interested in me. So here I think we can be friends"
"Why should I?!"
Alen sighed at the girl by his side who was looking at him not interested "It was not a friend who was always together to play. A friend you need if you're in trouble!"
The crescent moon eyebrows on Arlana's forehead were raised, her face completely clueless as to what Alen was saying. If it's just friends who are there when they need it, then aren't they basically the same as shit. A trash who only uses others!
"I know what you're thinking!" Alen laughed again and explained "I know you won't have many friends no matter how long you grow up. A man like you is one who closes his heart to be close to anyone! So here I hope, at least if there's anything I can help you with, I'll be happy to help you! Of course you can give me the same reply if you feel uncomfortable..!"
So it's like that!
Arlana is aware of Alen's wishes, she wants to form a social circle for the future. Someone who has communication in a good social circle in the future are people who have an easy life and a comfortable life for the students.
Arlana's cold and flat gaze eased slightly listening to Alen's intentions. He probably won't have many connections in social circles in the future. So making a good relationship with Alen at the moment is not too bad.
When Alen realized Arlana's not-so-hard gaze on him, he knew she was accepting her good intentions. Even though the girl didn't say it in person, she guessed it.
"Arlana, don't look at me too softly! Your boyfriend might kill me later!"
When Alen's words came out of her lips, Arlana unconsciously turned her eyes towards the basketball court.
There, in the middle of the field.
Zale stood silently staring at him with a twisted face that was extremely ugly.
His black eyes looked sharp and terrifying. Staring at Arlana who was standing together with Alen.
Arlana's body stiffened as her two golden eyes met Zale's gaze. Arlana's heartbeat involuntarily became fast, her body responding unnaturally. He was agitated and wanted to run away to hide.
The entire noisy field had now become silent for a moment.
No longer able to get such a gaze from Zale, Arlana turned her gaze and left with increasing anxiety, She whispered to herself
"Lord, don't make me fall for him!"
