"Alright, Axel. Let it. I don't want to talk about it right now."
In this kind of situation, Axel tries to apologize and mend his relationship with Alena, but Alena is still upset and reluctant to talk about the matter. The two then chose to focus on clearing the warehouse and finishing their punishment without talking about their problems.
Alena did not want to accept the apology from Axel, but she also felt sorry for Axel because there were some injuries on Axel's body due to a fall from the bike this morning. Moreover, Alena is sure if Axel has never done a clean-up job like this before. But Alena did not want to look caring and remained indifferent without much talk or ask.
A moment of silence, Axel again invites Alena to talk. He did not want to be silent and silent without being able to do anything. So she hoped that Alena could help her.
"Alena. I'm sorry, Alena. I know I was wrong to have us both punished."
Alena who was still upset of course replied cynically. "You can't just apologize and think everything will be fine, Axel said. We have to clean this warehouse now because it's you."
Axel melengos's. "Gue knows, and I'm willing to help clean this up together. But, are you all right? Loe looks so upset, and if there's a ghost here, she likes an angry chick and craves a loe gini."
"Huh... There's nothing to talk about anymore. We just have to focus on cleaning up this warehouse and finishing our punishment. I'm not afraid of ghosts!"
Axel's speechless. The trick this time was wrong. Alena is not a cowardly girl and cannot be taken for granted.
"But I don't want any tension between us. We can talk about what's going on and try to solve our problems, right?" axel asked trying to get Alena's attention.
Alena breathed a rough breath. "Hahhhhh! Never mind, Axel. Let it. I don't want to talk about it right now."
Axel then began cleaning up the dirty and dusty parts of the warehouse. He looked a little troubled due to some injuries on his body. Alena who saw that, started to feel pity and wanted to help.
"W-do you need help, Axel?" ask her with a stammer.
"No need, Alena. I can do this myself." Axel did not want to look weak in front of Alena who was cold to him.
"Ta-pi, but you look sick, brother. Is anyone sick, or what happened to you?" ask Alena again. He forgot that Axel fell off his bike this morning.
"Loe senile huh? kasian is still very senile. I fell off the bike this morning, didn't I?But, it doesn't matter. I can finish this job myself!"
"Are you sure, brother? I can help you if you want." Alena started to soften.
"No need! I'll try it myself. Don't bother Sono!"
However, Alena kept watching Axel from afar. He saw Axel rubbing the wounds on his legs and Alena felt like she could not bear to see him like that. He finally decided to approach Axel.
"All right, I'll help you."
Alena snatched the floor mop stick that Axel was holding. He forces to help her, even though Axel is unwilling.
"No need! I told you I could do it myself." Axel looked annoyed.
Alena shook her head a few times. He does not accept rejection. "But you look in pain, brother. I can't see you like that."
Axel paused for a moment to hear Alena's words that sounded like someone who cared about her. "Thank you, Alena. I really appreciate it" whispered softly, which Alena herself was not expected to hear.
The two of them then worked together to clean the warehouse. Alena helps clean the floor and Axel cleans the walls and shelves in the warehouse. Although they were still awkward and did not talk to each other too much, but at least they could work together without any debate or quarrel.
"She looks tired and needs a drink."
Axel looked at Alena who wiped her sweat many times. They did not get drinks or food provided for the workers who are usually invited by the school to clean the school area or warehouse.
This was a punishment, so they both had to do it right and not expect anything even if it was just a drink.
"Gue get a drink first! Loe be careful alone here."
Axel said goodbye and left without waiting for Alena's answer. She wants to go to the school cafeteria to buy Alena's drinks and food. But Axel did not tell his goal, so Alena misunderstood and yelled in annoyance.
"Sister, don't run away from the answer!"
A few minutes later.
"Haah..." Alena grumbled while wiping the sweat on her forehead with her left arm. While his right hand, holding a broom.
It had been ten minutes since Axel had gone somewhere, and Alena had cleared the small building located at the very back of this school.
This building is a warehouse that is often used to store various kinds of school equipment that is damaged or no longer used.
Because it is very far from the main school building, making this place very quiet. Even rumors circulated that in this place there were frequent sightings of invisible creatures, just as Axel said earlier.
In the rumor, if there is a female student who alone entered the warehouse, then there will appear a ghost of a piece of body hand that will pat the student's back.
As a girl who thought critically and logically, of course Alena did not believe her. Alena prefers to concentrate on this punishment, especially Axel left and has not come again.
Although it had been thirty minutes since coming with Axel earlier, but Alena never finished the task. The large number of junkyards in the warehouse made it a little difficult to clean up.
As Alena paused for a moment to take a deep breath, suddenly Alena's back patted her.
Pock
The deg!
Alena's heart seemed to want to jump from her chest.
'No way... This is impossible...'
'The ghost does not exist, the ghost does not exist...'
Alena kept chanting the sentence many times while venturing to look back.
Cold sweat started pouring down Alena's back.
When Alena looked back, she finally saw a figure patting her back.
"Hi Alena..."
