Chapter 20 - Ch20- That's him?

(As usual, Caius kept pestering Alora if that's what you call it. Alora was obviously very irritated but wasn't in the mood to deal with him. At lunch time:-)

Caius: My princess, you don't mind me sitting with you?

(Everyone sitting next to Alora moved away except Lysette, she was here for the drama.)

Caius: Is something the matter? My princess.

Alora: Yes, something's bothering me...I suppose you ought to know that.

Caius: If you don't tell me, how will I know?

Alora: You're the problem, I suppose you understand.

Caius: You're wrong there, my princess, how will I understand?

Alora: This guy's getting on my nerves.

Lysette: Alora, I don't get what's the problem either?

Alora: Thank you, Ace, for god's sake, quit calling me "princess".

Caius: Why will I care for the gods?

Alora: For my sake, quit calling me, "princess". Like please, I ain't even got noble blood in me.

Caius: You certainly don't behave like a princess but you do look like one. That makes me more reluctant to not call you, "princess", my princess.

Alora: Atleast cut out the "my".

Caius: Over my dead body!

Alora: Well then, you might as well be dead!

Lysette: Alora, you need to calm down.

Alora: How can I? This guy's been stalking me!

Lysette: What?

Caius: No, I'm not stalking you!

Alora: First of all, you've been following me everywhere and it's worse that I got to teach you.

Caius: I am not following you everywhere!

Alora: If not you then who?

(Caus sank his head down deep in thoughts.)

Alora: What!? It's really not you?

Caius: You know I wouldn't do anything that you wouldn't like.

Alora: This is not the time to flirt!

Lysette: Any idea how that person looks like?

Alora: Nope, never got to see the face.

Lysette: That's a pity. By the way, I heard my crush's finally coming to school from tomorrow onwards.

Alora: Oooo, someone's in a jolly mood today because of their soon-to-be boyfriend.

Lysette: Quiet! Stop teasing me!

Alora: Okay, okay, but I am telling the truth cause like you're so excited.

Lysette: Mind coming to class a bit early tomorrow?

Alora: I wouldn't mind...setting up people.

Caius: My princess, I hope you heard me, you better not fall for anyone.

Alora: Why? Are you going to ask me out then?

(Caius gets flustered, how could Alora not show any reaction? Is it that obvious? But not yet , something's in the way and it needs to be thrown.)

Caius: What do you think?

Alora: I don't know.

(Alora said that so placidly, anyone would think that she really knew nothing...The next day, as promised, Alora left with Lysette early for class. When they reached, there were already some students in the class.)

Lysette: Oh my god, he's sitting right there!

Alora: Where? Who?

(Lysette pointed out the guy she liked to Alora and Alora sulk by seeing that face, it gave her a bad feeling, she met him before but she can't remember. But whatever, maybe it's just her.)

Alora: You two make a perfect match!

Lysette: But not as perfect as you and Caius.

Alora: Come on, I don't even like that guy!

Lysette: Because you love that guy!

Alora: Lysette, are you for real now?

Lysette: Of course.

Alora: Ace ain't my type.

Lysette: Whatever you say.

(At departure, when Alora was heading back to her dorm with Lysette, someone caught Lysette by the hand.)

Lysette: Do you need anything?

Ronan: Of course.

(Seeing that it's her crush, Lysette stammered a bit. Alora read the room and left.)

Lysette: I can give some lessons on any topic you're confused at.

Ronan: Since you're offering lessons, how about a lesson on love? I promise to be a very hands-on student.

Lysette: What!? Actually, I've got to go!

(Lysette went inside her dorm and closed it shut, she missed her oppurtunity! But she couldn't look him in the eyes after what he said..Alora isn't still inside..meanwhile:-)

Alora: Hi, you're the transfer student. Nice to meet you.

Ronan: Nice to meet you too. I am Ronan Elvier, who might you be?

Alora: I am Alora Serenity.

(Alora realised that the "Elvier" family was one of the upperclass noble family.)

Ronan: The game's started, you might need to run away.

Alora: What're you talking about?

(Before Alora could get a reply, that guy left leaving Alora in confusion. She couldn't even say anything to the love-driven fool, Lysette.)

Alora: I don't know if it's just me but doesn't that guy give you bad vibes?

Lysette: Maybe? But it's him who I am attracted to.

Alora: This love-sick person.

Lysette: What did you call me?

(A peaceful day like Alora wanted but peace never lasts forever.)
