Chapter 9

Krystal POV

“Krystal are you done dressing up?” Laura asks.

“Yeah” I pick my bag and the both of us go to our class

Some students looking at me and gossiping about what happens last night. I sit on my chair and wait for our professor to come. The screams of my female classmates echoed around the room because of… Lux and Ace? Wait, what? They are my classmates and I didn’t even know about it.

“It’s very rare to see you here attending your class Mr. Hustley” Lea said while smirking and as expected Lux didn’t give a glance at her and

he continues to walk towards his sit on the back row. We both stare at each other and after a few seconds Lux immediately looks away.

“Good Morning class!” Sir Rex greeted us while entering the room. “Good Morning Sir Rex!”

“I have a special announcement today. Some of you may already know tomorrow is the Academy 70th Anniversary,”

The class got excited and screams filled up the room.

“As usual, every year the Academy held a ball to celebrate so today you can invite someone to be your partner for girls you can make a gift and give it to a person you want to be your partner while for boys give a flower to the girl you want to dance with. That all class dismiss,”

After Sir Rex leave the class become a mess and everyone talk about what would they make with their friends.

“Hey Krystal” Laura slightly bumps my shoulder “What?” I ask

“Who is your parter?” “I don’t know,”

“Why don’t you invite Lux?” “Why would I?”

“Because the two of you look so good together,”

“Then if I invite Lux, then you will invite Ace,” I suggested “No way,”

“Then I will not invite Lux,” “Okay, just keep your promise,” “I will,”

The both of us go to the factory where we can make our presents and there are many people here.

“What will you make?” Laura asks while we are taking some tiny box and some ribbons

“I don’t know, maybe a cute cake?” I answer.

The both of us made our gifts. Hour’s passed and I’m already done while Laura is designing her box.

“Laura can I go first? I have to give it to Lux,”

“Sure, you better hurry before Lux receives a gift from someone"

I quickly run as fast as I can, but I can’t see Lux anywhere. I go to the garden because maybe Lux is there, I remember that he always wants to sit on the tree.

I saw Lux sitting on the tree as expected, I fix my hair and walk towards the tree. I hide my gift because someone might already give him a gift and it would be too embarrassing for me.

“You really like to spend your time sitting on that tree huh?” I said

“Its not like you care either”

He lean on the tree and close his eyes.I clear my throat to catch his attention and he open his eyes.

“What do you want?” he ask

“Do you already have a partner?”

“Yes” he answer

“Oh, who is she?”

“You don’t have to know”

“Is she our classmate?”

“Yes”

I bet its Lea.

I look at the ground and face him again

“It's okay, I have to go” I said and turned around to walk away “Wait,”
