Chapter 6:

sugar coated candies

Love and Rivalry


As I entered the cafeteria, my thoughts ran wild, and I was so distracted by my drawing that I was unaware of the time or the world around me.

"This place is..." I thought, as I found myself in front of the lunch table.

Oh yeah, it's lunch time already! I can't believe I wasted 2 hours in the archive drawing someone that I ended up missing lunch and my class. Maybe I should skip all my classes in the afternoon.

With a tray in my hands, I slowly walked towards a long table some distance away from other students eating and started eating alone.

"lori ,you don't like your food?" Someone

"Yeah it doesn't taste good" the girl I believe name lori responded

The guy stood up as he took the tray and walked towards me, still holding onto the leftover food.

"Then let's throw the leftovers here," he said, and I could feel my anger boiling up inside I glared angrily at the guy who did it, and before I could say a word

"Oh my! What are you doing?!"the blonde girl cried

"It seems she likes sushi “the guy responded as he pointed at me

Doesn't mean I'm eating sushi it means it tastes good?!! Who said someone like sushi? It tastes horrible! The only reason why I'm eating this raw fish is because I have no choice that’s the only thing I can afford!

I was about to speak when suddenly, an unfamiliar voice interrupted me. I looked up to see who was talking, wondering who might be standing there.

"Th-then I can throw it on your face too, right?" The voice said, and I looked over to see a boy with the same cloak as Reijimin staring at the guy who poured leftovers all over my lunch.

He grabbed an empty tray from the table and, without a second thought, slammed it onto the guy's face with immense force. For a moment, everything turned silent as the guy fell to the ground.

He didn't even hesitate or feel guilty about his action.

"Do you really think it's fun pouring leftovers on somebody else's plate?”

He asked in a playful way, and it was like he didn't see the seriousness of his actions.

As I grabbed the boy's sleeve, he turned to face me and smiled innocently.

"It seems they went too far with their joke, but you don't have to go that far,"I yelled at him

"Bullying is a serious issue that has to be addressed, what he did is a serious misconduct and as the student council president, it's my job to punish bullies whenever I see them. he tried to ruin your lunch; he needed to be punished."

“This is your first warning.. Mr. aki cerise”last thing he said before he gently grabbed my hands and pulled me away from the scene to the corner side of the cafeteria with a tray with his foof on his left hand

As I stared at the boy in front of me, I overheard several students whispering to each other about him.

"What is wrong with him?" one girl asked.

"What a waste of his good looks" another replied, and the other girls laughed.

"I heard the president is a delinquent" someone else said, and the room went quiet for a moment.

"Eh, he's too cute, picking up fights" said a third student, as if she was impressed.

I glanced at Gabriel who silently watching them walking away and averted his glance on me

"Your food can't be eaten anymore but you can have mine “he said as he handed me a tray"

The sweet smell of candies and chocolate filled my nose

I stared at the tray of food which is all sweets that he gave to me and gently picked up a macaroon

"Tasty "I burst out

Should I say thanks for the food? should I pay him money for this??I took another one and quietly put it in my mouth

"Why arent you hanging out with Reiji?"he suddenly asked staring at me curiously.

"Reiji?oh is that her name for short?"

But seriously she didn't have too. I’m fine on my own. I pity her for doing something she's been forced to do

“Is reji being mean to you? “he said worriedly as he lean towards my face

"Oh no not at all “I gently scratched my cheeks.

“I’ll tell him he should be nice to you. I'm sure he would not refuse a presidents order"

Him? I thought

“I want to be friends with her on my own and work hard for it without asking for anyone's help"

She’s the very first person I ever talked to ever since I came here and i really thought she can be my friend”I added

“Nobody really likes.reiji”

“Agree but It's just that, the moment she walked besides me, something about it seems familiar as if we have done it all our lives”

"I told her to be nice towards girls tho...”he glanced at the corner and slightly scratch his cheeks"oh yeah I haven't formally introduce to you my name yet I'm Gabriel roseblade from 3rd year class “he added as he grabbed my hand and shook it up and down

Didn’t he just hit a student with a tray on its face? And now he seems enthusiastic, easy going, cheerful, and caring person.it overwhelms me.

When I came back to our dorm I throw myself to my bed

You seems really tired kayla

Did you made a lots of friedns today

Not relly

'what do you mean?''

i got a into a wild situation early this afternoon ''

''Why don't we talk about it until you feel tired and feel like going to sleep?

are you sure?'' ''its cool im not tired either thanks''

''hmm now that i think about it I’ve met some new. People today oh yeah there was this other guy and oh he had two blonde hair and a cloak similar to reiji with beautiful aquamarine colored eyes”

You mean Gabriel roseblade?"Claide asked excitedly

I nodded"Is he famous or something?"

Not just famous or SOMETHING, but really famous that’s why he was said to the the next Gerald reizen

Was said to be?not anymore?

Uhm how to put it.he has behavioral issues

"Oh really? I think he's really nice and sweet"

You could say he's careless and constant ditcher. He caused a lot of other problem too, so he keeps getting held back from school same goes to the vice president

I heard that he's even put into the detention several times

Wow

Well whether in a good or bad sense, he’s still sweet

But even though he's like that he hasn't dropped out huh?

"It's said that he's really talented that's why he was said to be the next Gerald reizen"

"Gerald reizen?"I thought, is he really that amazing?

Well it's probably best if you don't get involved with him" Clyde said

"Gabriel huh?" when we first met I thought he was a wonderful person but...

I guess. It's best if I get not too involved
