“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” The LeRoy's were trying their level best to live up to the above quote. But what exactly was going on in their heads? Sitting focused, eying the board in front of them with coffee in their hands. An outsider would misunderstand them for CSIS(that's Canadian CBI, just so you know) or any other investigation bureau.
"And there goes, Ella," Lavender said erasing her name off from the middle of the board to shifting it to the down along with all other names.
"Are they all the girls Luke dated?" Mrs LeRoy said widening her eyes looking at the ocean of names at the end of the board with Luke and April's name on the top.
"Well, yeah. He isn't called " Don Juan," for no reason."
Did Lavender just say that with a straight face?
"Okay, but what should we do next?" Mr LeRoy couldn't be any more excited as he asked this.
"For now we just need to sit and observe. Don't forget April is smart, wait, she isn't just smart she's super observing." Lavender warned them while still scrolling through her phone.
"And what about Luke?" Mrs LeRoy raised a question.
"Well, Luke doesn't notice stuff until or unless it's something about his exams or food." That was again a logical point said by Lavender.
"Okay, but how on earth will we stop him from coming here?" Mrs LeRoy was prepared with questions beforehand.
"Don't you think all these girls will hunt him down if they get to know about his wedding with April?" Lavender smirked.
"Wow, you are literally at your best today," Mr LeRoy wasn't always good with the compliments.
"Well, one of us has to smart. Luke isn't I am," Lavender winked.
"Honey, where does this smartness vanishes during your exams," Mrs LeRoy came up with a typical mother comeback.
"If that's the case, good luck with helping yourselves." Lavender began collecting her stuff. It sounded more like a warning than an actual good luck wish.
"Wait, we didn't mean that. Honey tell her you didn't mean it. Lavender, you can even take my car for your date. If that won't work you can even have my card and the cash," Mr LeRoy requested following his daughter out of the room.
Hence, it was a typical day at LeRoy's.
_________________________________________
Back in Seoul, it was Luke's first day in heaven or maybe he was the one who brought heaven down here. Earning smiles to whispers he finally found April's class.
Amidst all this laughter and conversations he wished to see a familiar face. The whole place was in awe of him.
"Auclair, there you are! When did you leave this morning?" He said sitting on her bench as if it were his earning all the glances.
"This isn't your class Auclair, I mean April", Luke said checking the class recordings on her phone.
"By the way, why is everyone here staring at us?" Luke whispered getting closer to April.
"Why do you even ask things you already know the answer to?" April scrunched her nose.
"This time I don't."
"Maybe because you look good."
"Auclair, you think I am looking good?" Luke smirked.
"As if you don't think that about yourself. I wonder why you stand near the mirror most of the time and have your picture as your phone's wallpaper," saying this she bursts into laughter.
"You are mean, Auclair," Luke narrowed his eyes and left leaving April a laughing mess.
She quickly collected herself and got back to her work.
Luke was surely gathering quite much attention. Those visuals and brain were no joke but what more attention was the fact that April Auclair had a boyfriend.
"April, I heard Luke's here but where?" Jeong asked taking a bite of his food.
"Somewhere where the crowd is and not to forget the one who's the reason behind that particular crowd," April said looking around to find Luke.
The thing about April is she would seem intimidating but she's a whole goofball and Luke knows that side of hers.
"There you are!" Luke said running towards April and Jeong and instead of saying a word to either of them he just picked the sandwich and pretended as if they weren't there.
"Are you even for real?" April slapped his shoulder.
"I don't get it," Luke said munching on his sandwich.
"Finally, there's something that you admitted you don't understand," Jeong laughed hearing April say that.
"There's this girl in my class who came to me, smiled, said something acting all cute and then handed me over this letter which I have to translate. There's so much to do."
Famous people have a tough life, I mean look at Luke.
"First of all, who is she? And second of all what's there to not get?" Jeong asked moving his seat closer.
"So bold of you to assume that I'll know everyone around here just on my first day. And what I don't get is that you don't give a handwritten letter to someone who you've just seen." Luke sighed.
"Wow, you sound so serious," April said widening her eyes.
"You know what, you're both dumb. See you later," Jeong ran away laughing.
"그래서 그녀가 그와 데이트하고 있습니까 ( So, she is dating him), " said someone watching Luke and April from afar. As said, famous people have a tough life.
