Brooke's POV

"A little colour" I argued. I fricking look like a lolicon

It seems I had shouted too loudly as the people kept gathering around me some were even taking pictures of it.

I started feeling uneasy I just wanted to hide somewhere I habitually looked for my hoodie.

The crowd just increased and I even spotted Lucius in it. I just pulled marshal who was still laughing and went to our class.

"Marshal this is too much~" I whined. he was wiping his tears "

Okay all jokes aside you have to wear this for the day or else I will make you wear pastel shades for an entire month" he stated

"Do you even have enough pastel clothes to last a month?" I groaned at him

"I can just borrow some from the girls in our class~" he smirked. "I hate you" I said.

"yeah love you too anyway I know you like pastel shades its just that you think you can only wear black clothes to look cool" he said.

"Hey! I was born to wear black clothes and...it is true that I like pastel a bit" I mumbled the last bit.

"I know" he smiled. "why do you know me so well Mother hen?" I asked him amused.

"You are an open book that I have completely memorized" he stated oh so matter of fact. "You make me swoon" I said hooking his arm.

"Hey but this blue jumper is it yours?"

"No, I bought it. like it?" he said "Like it! but it is still embarrassing to dress like this in front of people"

"That is why it is a punishment" he said. We went into the classroom.

"Brooke Burns I challenge you to a dual in de bugging these computers" the guy stated. I just stared at him

do I know him? I really am bad with faces. I looked at marshal who indicated something.

"Don't tell me you forgot? Ha..haha" the guy asked. I finally remembered "You're the guy with the Ursula laugh that challenged me last year" I said

I suddenly felt embarrassed so I looked down. The guy was literally red.

He faked a cough "Anyway I challenge you to see once and for all who is the true debugging champion" he said I just nodded.

Fine~ its not like your gonna let this go anytime soon. The computers were in the hallway with Mother hen as the referee.

I put on my mask I make weird faces when I code.

Lucius POV

I still can't process what I just saw I practically zooned out during class. Brooke in pastel Brooke in pastel Cute!!! The way she blushed when she ran up the stairs.

The first two classes ended I went outside to see that students were gossiping something

I just went past them when I heard hey that pastel girl from this morning is having a coding battle it seems. I looked at the stairs most of the people are going.

I decided to go I saw a crowd of people standing around them betting or simply just looking.

I walked through the crowed I glanced at her she was wearing a mask while typing.

It looks familiar somehow where have I seen this before...?

"I'm gonna win this for sure I already started running the algorithm!" the guy sprouted which was ignored by her completely as I saw that she was wearing earphones.

"I finished" she said silently. "What!! There is no way!" the guy shouted while Motherhen checked it.

She just stood and took her mask off "Yo-you cheated didn't you!"

"I don't have enough energy to cheat and it was a close match you were just a few seconds off than I was which is an improvement from last year" she said as she walked away with her sling.

I looked back at the guy who was blushing somebody has a crush~ some guy sang.

I choose not to listen further and follow her. I went to the back of the school where the traces end.

There is a small forest garden here how am I going to find her here?

I'm on a sugar crush
I ain't got no fricking cash
Maybe I should take a bath
Cut my fricking brain in half

I followed the sound of singing where I saw her with her phone "It looks better with the wig on" she muttered.

"I think it looks okay even with your black hair" I said. She immediately turned around.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. "Following you" I answered as I sat down at the nearby tree

"I thought this was my secret place" I whispered. "Huh? Did you come here to tease me?"

"No but I do want to ask you why you're wearing that?" I replied.

"I lost a bet to mother hen. I said that I wouldn't fall asleep in Mr. Gabe's class but not only did I fall asleep but I even hit my head on the table" she said.

She looks like she's embarrassed by that. Lovely~

I just closed my eyes as I felt the wind blowing.

 Sometime later~

I heard creaking from my side. I opened my eyes to see that she was missing.

I got up and followed the sound. I saw Brooke climbing over the fence "what are you doing now?" I asked her tilting my head.

It is a bit high. "Can't you see I'm trying to bunk class like a responsible student" she said as she swung her legs to the other side. She just slide down from that height

"Fuew~" she let out a breath. "Aren't you a scholarship student?" I asked her rising my brows.

"Well next class is Mr. Gabe's and I'm pretty sure that he told me to come to his class only if I plan on listening So~" she said looking at me on the other side of the fence.

"Why~ do you also want to bunk class with me?" she asked me coming closer holding one of the bars. 

You are playing a dangerous game but it seems that I'm into that if it is you.

"Fine" I said while she looked shocked. I gave her my bag and easily jumped over the fence. "Whoa~ as expected of a mafia leader" she clapped.

"So are you still going to be wearing that" I asked her she was still in the pastel outfit with the wig and everything.

"Yeah why? Is it that bad" she said looking forward.

"No, its actually a bit cute" I said though she didn't turn I caught a glimpse of her redden ears.

"Where to you want to go?" she asked me while turning around and walking like that. "What do you usually do when you bunk class?"

"I don't bunk class that often but mostly go to net cafes or spray paint walls" she said looking at me.

"You know how to spray paint?  "Yeah I'm actually kind of good at it" she said.

we just walked like that for a while. we walked in peaceful silence walking side by side with our hands brushing each others.

I was about to hold it when- "Lets go to the mall" she said pointing at the mall across the street.
