"And then what?" Ten asked eagerly as him and Yuri walked side by side to their next class. She had explained what had happened, but was rather vague about it.

"And then nothing" She shrugged "You're trying to make this into something it's not"

"Jeno likes you. Lee Jeno. Son of Cinderella. Wake up! He's the top of the top at this school!" Ten threw his hands up, taking a glance at her every step they took

"Id rather date a piece of garbage than that-"

"No no no. You have to agree. It's a win-win situation: you get all the power and authority in this whole school and it's not like you haven't accidentally liked him even a tiny bit before" Ten stopped her in her tracks, earning an exaggerated roll of an eye

"Move dimwit" She pushed Ten aside to be greeted by a taller body. Sighing with exasperation, she looked up and greeted his hooded eyes.

"What is it this-" Before she could finish her sentence, a can of soda was shoved into her hand along with a single lollipop slotted into the hole in the tab.

"Enjoy" He leant just face closer "I'll prove to you just how worthy I am". After Ten had his own hyperventilating session, Jeno straightened his back and walk way.

"If only i could just-" She rose her fist and pursed her lips, annoyance rising up to her throat. Shoving the can of soda into Tens chest, she took the lollipop and roughly forced it into her mouth.

"OK I know what you're going to say but that was cute" Ten rushed beside her, opening the can and downing it

"I already know where this heading and I don't have the patience to deal with him" She eyed the back of Jeno "I'm not going to accept with bribery"

"Hey" Jeno leant against the locker beside hers. The moment she closed her locker, she was met with a pair of smug of eyes.

"Get lost" She rolled her eyes, pressing her books to her chest

"Guess what I found" He fell into her step

"No" She mumbled

"I found the original copy of all our stories" He smirked, and now Yuri spun to look at him

"All?" Her eyebrows subconsciously rose in surprise

"All" Him and his know-it-all smirk

"You pulled some illegal shit again didnt you" She brushed her eyes the other way to wipe that smirk off him

"Is your impression of me that bad" He put his hands in his pocket and lightly bumped her shoulder

"It's not just bad, it's unimaginably-"

"Heart-fluttering?"

"Revolting" Yuri pushed him away to give herself some space

"I found a lot of copies of Cinderella. You sure you don't want to take a look?" Jeno continue to bribe. But because this was about whether or not she gets to go back to where she belongs, she hesitated

"I'll go when you're not there"

"But you won't know where it is"

She scoffed

"I'll meet you in the library after school" Jeno tilted his head and disappeared off in front of her

"Grab the books and then get the heck out of here, sounds like a plan" She nodded to herself before pushing the large glass doors open. From a distance, she could spot Jeno who just sat on the seat, drumming his fingers on the table awaiting her arrival
