"Are you sure Alice is alone right now?"
Evelyn stood nervously beside Chloe who was watching Alice from outside the classroom, Alice seemed to be reading a book in her chair. Alice's class atmosphere looked deserted no one.
"I'm pretty sure he's reading a book right now,"
"Ah, I see..," Evelyn twisted the tip of her uniform, she was nervous and afraid that Alice would refuse to make up with him. It's only natural that they haven't talked to each other for years.
"You wait here, let me talk to Alice first. Make sure no students come in here" Chloe advised as she looked at Evelyn beside her.
"Alright, call me when you're done,"
Chloe gave a small nod, while her blue Netra looked back at Alice who was still reading the book. The blue-cloaked girl exhaled for a while then started to step into the classroom.
"Alice, can we talk for a second, please" said Chloe as she stood beside Alice's desk.
"Oh, Chloe. Of course, what do you want to talk about?" A moment Alice was somewhat surprised by Chloe's sudden arrival, then she put on a gentle smile.
Chloe slowly sat down in Alice's front seat, comforting herself for a while before starting a serious chat.
"It's about Evelyn,"
Alice is silent when Chloe calls Evelyn, the person who bullied Alice before Chloe's arrival. Alice had no idea what made Chloe suddenly talk about the person who bullied her.
"I know it's Evelyn who's always bullied you, but she says all her jealousy and envy it's all just lies, it's all fake. She just wants to talk to you, but it's kind of the wrong way" Chloe starts to explain slowly so Alice doesn't misunderstand.
"All of them are fake!? He did it all on purpose, I know that. If he wants to talk to me. Why did he have to bully me first!? She could talk nicely, right," Alice's emotions were somewhat heightened, seeming to be unacceptable because Evelyn bullied her with her own eyes.
"I understand how you feel Alice, the first time I heard her excuses I was like you, too, feeling disbelieved and lied to. But after I dug deeper, he said honestly. His manner was indeed somewhat wrong, but at least he really wanted to talk well now. Please give him a chance to explain,"
Chloe understands Alice's feelings, maybe persuading Alice is a bit difficult but Chloe will try her best to let Alice forgive Evelyn, even if it is not easy.
Alice heard it carefully, her face slightly red withstanding the annoyance. Her feelings were mixed between giving Evelyn a chance or not. Alice's anger within her was somewhat turbulent, given Evelyn's all treatment of her. But to be honest Alice also realized, every run out in bully by Evelyn. Evelyn had always secretly given Alice a plaster wound and apologized unbeknownst to Chelsia and Viola, Several times Alice also passed Evelyn, Evelyn always glanced at her as if she wanted to say something. Because of Chelsia and Viola, Evelyn never revealed what she wanted to say.
Was Evelyn afraid of Chelsia and Viola? Alice does not know but like her actions Evelyn who sometimes attention to her makes the anger in Alice rather subsided. There was no mistake Alice gave Evelyn the opportunity to explain.
"Alright, I'll give her a chance," Alice nodded calmly, somewhat nervous and not knowing what kind of attitude Evelyn would be.
"Huft..it's good that Alice is still giving Evelyn a chance, I think things will go well" Chloe thought in relief.
"Okay, I'll bring Evelyn here. Wait a minute, yeah," Before leaving Chloe whispered something in Alice's ear.
"Just relax, if Evelyn wastes the opportunity you've given her, I'll teach her a lesson later,"
At once Alice was a bit surprised to hear Chloe whisper, The long brown girl then laughed softly.
"I believe in you Chloe," she said softly.
Chloe simply smiled back, then walked away from the classroom leaving Alice to meet Evelyn.
Evelyn, who is standing outside the classroom, listens to all of Chloe and Alice's talk, except when Chloe whispers. Evelyn was relieved that Alice had given her a chance. But now that Evelyn was nervous again, what was she supposed to behave like in front of Alice?
"Evelyn, come on in. Alice has given you a chance, "Take Chloe to Evelyn who is now jerking.
"Ah.l-yes,"
They entered the classroom, approaching Alice who was looking at Evelyn. Same with Evelyn.
"Well, Evelyn sat here first. You guys talk first, yeah," Chloe sat Evelyn down in an empty chair opposite Alice.
"T-But–"
"I'll get you a drink first, dah~"
Alice wants her Chloe to accompany them so as not to be awkward but too late, Chloe has already gone out of class leaving Alice and Evelyn both in that class.
Alice and Evelyn instantly exchanged lyrics in an awkward and silent atmosphere. They both looked down not wanting to stare at each other, dissolving in silence and each other's thoughts.
"Oh, what's that talking? Do I have to talk first but I'm too embarrassed to say, "Evelyn's anxious and confused.
"Am I looking for a topic for Evelyn to talk to? We haven't been communicating properly for a long time, which makes me awkward" Alice thought, confused, not knowing what to say.
"Pulse...Alice," Hearing Evelyn's nervous call made Alice look up.
"Yes?"
Evelyn looked down and felt regret for bullying Alice all this time.
Evelyn twisted the tip of her uniform in fear and dismay.
"But you seem to have misunderstood it, huh? Though I thought that with my treatment, I could talk to you. But Chelsia always forbade me from approaching you or even talking to you after the bullying, I'm really sorry Alice,"
Evelyn suddenly climbed up from her seat and immediately stood face to face with Alice, suddenly Evelyn sat prostrate right before Alice's feet in tears.
"Please forgive me Alice, I promise that if you give me a second chance to be your friend Alice again, I won't hurt you anymore" Evelyn said, bowing at Alice's feet.
Alice could not believe that Evelyn was so desperate that she prostrated herself before him just to apologize, feel anxious and unwell. Alice hurriedly held onto both of Evelyn's shoulders and helped the girl unravel the short brown pieces to stand up.
"Evelyn what are you doing!? Don't apologize to me while prostrating so. I never asked you to do that!" Alice's protest did not accept Evelyn's actions which she thought were too excessive.
"But I really regret my harsh treatment of you," Evelyn's eyes glazed over, wanting to cry again.
Alice smiled gently, she did not want her childhood best friend to be too late in regret, The girl shook her head softly.
"Evelyn, I've forgiven all your mistakes. To be honest I also want us to be friends again like we used to be," Alice gently patted both Evelyn's shoulders.
"really?" Evelyn looked up at Netra Caramel Alice, her Netra still glazed over.
Alice naturally nodded with a sweet smile, she did not mind if they were to establish a friendship again from the beginning.
"Thank you Alice, you are indeed my best friend from a long time ago," Evelyn hugged Alice with a cry and a hiccup.
"Together Evelyn," Alice smiled sincerely and hugged Evelyn back. Channeling the longing of both of them all this time.
On the other hand, Chloe who had been outside the classroom all the while listening to the conversation between Alice and Evelyn smiled slightly. Chloe is happy that the two can be kind and be friends again.
"Finally, it's good that the two of them can be friends again like they used to be" Chloe thought still smiling.
"Hehehe...Finally, there is no longer an enemy of the Protagonist and Antagonist. Chloe's really great with your plans," Praise Holy, so happy, so happy to fly around Chloe's head.
"Well, I'm just doing my job. The rest of them speak with four eyes. If Evelyn hadn't spoken before, they probably would never have communicated with each other,"
"Hm.really so anyway, fortunately Evelyn directly said yes," Holy mangosteen agreed.
Chloe doesn't say anymore, now she has to go to see Devian in the cafeteria. But just about to climb out of her place, Alice's voice from inside the classroom startles Chloe.
"Chloe, get out of there. We know you're listening to our conversation,"
Instantly Chloe felt her steps become heavy, the girl was silent for a while on the spot.
"Well, how do they know I'm here?" Chloe's confused.
"Don't Alice and Evelyn have eyes?"
"Where is power like that in the game! System don't talk carelessly dong,"
"It can be, though,"
Chloe shook her head softly at Holy's words which she thought were strange, then Chloe turned around to Alice and Evelyn who were still in class.
"Hehehe, I'm sorry I listened to your chatter," Chloe grinned for a moment right in front of her two friends.
"It's no problem Chloe, thanks to Chloe as well we can be friends again. Thank you Chloe," Alice smiled gently with pleasure.
"Alice was right, thank you Chloe for helping us both," This time Evelyn opened her voice, Evelyn smiled happily while wiping away her tears that had dripped.
"Together, you guys don't fight anymore huh," Chloe's advice returned her second smile.
"Of course," Alice and Evelyn both nodded in unison.
"From now on the three of us are best friends, Come to canteen~" Alice suddenly grabbed Evelyn and Chloe's shoulders happily. Together the three of them walked out of the classroom towards the cafeteria.
"Eh? alice slowly. Later I and Chloe fall," Evelyn tries to equal her steps with Alice, a little distress because Alice embraces her.
Chloe just chuckles. "I'll go with you,"
"Hahaha, I'm glad you two are with me right now," Alice chuckled in the laughs of Evelyn and Chloe.
"Of course we are, too" said Chloe and Evelyn in unison.
The three of them were so happy and happy now that they had completed each other. But Chloe knew it was a long way to go to get it all done.
