The One Day Before Separated (2 )


The days have continued since that day. Estelle and Adrianne adapt to their new class. The relationship between the two seemed to stretch due to the presence of new friends. They are busy with their business and school work. The two rarely get together.


Adrianne is now a 2-2 student. He was a cheerful and sociable boy. Many of the children in her class spoke and invited her to hangout together. Adrianne is also a smart and diligent student. That's the appeal, he's very humble.


While settling in grades 2-2 Adrianne had no idea about the feud between the School Committee and OSIS. Adrianne is living her days normally. He was even good friends with the son of the School Committee during the active period of the year.


His encounters with the blond boy and his friends have changed Adrianne's life. He then became close to the group and joined them. Until then he was still not aware of the dispute. In fact, he did not know about Estelle who was placed in the class of OSIS supporters.


Adrianne really does not care, he only thinks for himself and his future. He realized that he would be a partner of his twin later in leading a large company, Heinze Group. He did not want to burden his twin who was very interested in devoting himself to the country. Therefore, he tried very hard and hard.


Everything seems normal and ordinary. Adrianne knows Park Hyerim, Harris Widjaja, Joseph Cardia, Simon Howard, Kim Youngjoo and Wang Jia Rong who are not too close to him. They are very close and often together. Estelle who is different classes with Adrianne rarely gives news or the two become rarely met just to chat.


. . .


[Morning, in Spring ]


A short-haired black girl with an oriental face carrying a bamboo sword on her back, stood tall before a large cherry tree on the side of the road near the gate of the school building. He put his palms together and seemed to close his eyes. The breeze gently caressed her short hair. He wore a Lydenn Academy spring uniform and carried a small bag of black tote with him.


The girl then slowly opened her eyes and was surprised. Adrianne stood before him with a warm look. He then waved his hand at the girl's face,


"Hello!! Are you praying?" Adrianne asked who then moved away from the girl's sight.


"Yes, rather beg for the good thing" The girl replied with a gentle smile.


"I hope you'll get something good today!" Said Adrianne who then wanted to walk to the absent door.


"Spirit Oda!" Adrianne said after the absence with ID Pass. He immediately walked up the stairs to his class.


The girl named Oda was surprised to hear her name mentioned by an unknown person. Then he realized that in his blazer there was a metal nameplate written clearly his name. The girl then smiled briefly and carried out the attendance process. It was Oda Amane.


. . .


That morning Adrianne was seen passing through the front of class 2-1 and peeked a little out of the window. He sees Estelle who is chatting with her new friends. Adrianne smiled and walked to her class.


Arriving in class he met Hyerim who then greeted him.


"Adrianne, Morning!" He ate the Chupa Chups.


"Morning, Hyerim-Ah ! Looks like today there's something interesting..." Adrianne said as she sat in her chair.


"of course! I think Joseph will be late today. I'm sure he'll be told to stand outside, hahaha" Hyerim said with a laugh.


Adrianne just smiled and shook her head many times. Kim Youngjoo then turned his body towards the table of Adrianne sitting behind him.


"What's wrong?" Adrianne asked Youngjoo briefly.


"Want to bet with me?" youngjoo said with a careless smile.


"Bet what and how much?" Adrianne asked interested.


"Choose among the circumstances that will happen to Joseph. Choose he will get a penalty of running on the field or just standing outside the classroom until the break hours? I choose he will be sentenced to a field run" Youngjoo explained.


"Well, I'll pick him up standing in the corridor until the break arrives, deal ?" Adrianne said convincingly.


"Deal up! The stakes are a hundred dollars" Youngjoo said, taking a hundred-dollar bill out of his wallet.


Adrianne took a hundred-dollar note from the drawer of her purse, then put it on her desk.


Hyerim who heard the bet felt interested and followed. He bet that Joseph would run on the field, just like Youngjoo. He also put a hundred dollar bill on Adrianne's table.


Shortly after, the first lesson begins. The teacher had entered the room but Joseph had not yet seen the trunk of his nose. It is certain that he is late or overslept. The teacher then passed on his students one by one and stopped in Joseph's name. The teacher called him three times but there was no response, then asked his students.


"Sorry sir, it looks like he's missing" Uncompleted Youngjoo replied, Joseph came to open the door loudly.


*Brakk*


The sound of sliding doors being opened forced Joseph. The sound shook the whole class.


The teacher just shook his head and wrote something on his podium. He then cleared his throat,


"Ekhem... Mr. Cardia is 15 minutes late, please stand in the corridor until the break, which is where my lesson hours run out in this class. Please stand outside now" The Master said, letting Joseph out with a suspicious smile.


"Eh, wait du-" Joseph's sentence was cut off as soon as he saw his teacher's sharp gaze.


Joseph walked out of the classroom and closed the door again. He was sentenced to stand in the corridor until the break. Adrianne who won the bet tried to hold back his laughter. On the other hand, Hyerim and Youngjoo looked surprised and lethargic. Though the teacher is famous for punishing his students who are late to run dozens of rounds in the field. After that, the lesson began immediately.


. . .


Adrianne won the bet, then he made two hundred dollars. During the break, he rushed to the Lydenn Cafe and bought a setoples of Chupa Chups, two boxes of doughnuts and four bottles of cold drink. Adrianne took him back to his class.


In the classroom there is a lethargic and surly Joseph. He put his head on the table and sighed many times. Surrounding him was Hyerim, who was laughing, Youngjoo pulling his hair, Simon who was calm with Harris next to him who listened to music through his handsfree. Adrianne then entered the classroom and walked up to them.


"Hahaha I won!" Adrianne's proud laughter.


"Yes, yeah. You're just lucky this time" Youngjoo said.


"Don't Ikhlas like dong" Reply Adrianne who put his luggage from Cafetaria earlier to his desk.


"Win what?" Asked Joseph who seemed to be frowning his forehead.


"It's nothing" Hyerim said later.


Simon looked at the food and drink Adrianne had brought and chuckled,


"You bought all that from your 'win?" Ask Simon.


"Of course, it's just for fun of course. I bought you this candy Hyerim-Ah, and then you eat these doughnuts. Oiya I give you two bottles of Joseph's cold drink! I will also lend you my notebook" Adrianne explained as she distributed her food.


"Thank you, I'll try" said Harris, who picked up a doughnut from a cardboard box.


"Either. Eat together!" Adrianne looks happy.


"Adrianne, your like my angel savior..." Joseph said, drinking one of the bottles Adrianne gave him.


"Oh! Adrianne, you're so nice. You're like an angel sent to earth..." Hyerim said as she hugged the Chupa Chups candy jar in front of her.


They spend time together in the break hours. Adrianne was among them with a happy face. Seen from the window of class 2-2, Estelle looked at Adrianne who looked warm talking with her new friend. Estelle then displayed a slightly sad expression with a riled up feeling. He then left class 2-2 and walked into his class.


Starting from that day, Estelle was increasingly avoiding Adrianne. He is increasingly busy with his work as a member of OSIS. Bianca asks him to help out at OSIS as the Blaire Foundation, in other words as the family of Lydenn Academy's greatest benefactor. This made Estelle's attitude turn colder.


. . .


After school, in the afternoon when the sun starts to sink. Adrianne went alone to nearby Swansale Lake. He went to the lake to calm himself while feeding the geese there. The lake area is quite quiet surrounded by dense Conifer trees. The road to the lake had also started to be deserted. Adrianne then rushed to return to her dormitory.


A black sedan car sped up quickly with a truck and SUV behind it. The cars passed by the road near the lake and went towards the dense Conifer forest. There is another road there, but school residents and other visitors cannot enter it carelessly. There were rumors that said that the area was just a mansion the founder owner of the Academy was restoring. And there are also those who say that the area is a secret place, with an experimental lab inside.


Adrianne, who saw the cars passing by, hid himself behind a large tree trunk while peering at the cars, which then vanished into the forest. Adrianne made sure of the surroundings and walked quickly to the dormitory area which was a distance away from the lake.


'What was that? I just saw it this time. Is there really something in it? Is this a coincidence or what? But, I was curious. But it seems dangerous. But, what can I do? I'm going to the lake again tomorrow to make sure ' Adrianne thinks all the way to her dorm.
