Christine's POV

today's the monday after the weekend that lexie abandoned me to go with the shadow. i still couldn't get over the fact that they went into a hotel. those two could've done something indecent, something inappropriate! oh, why lexie, why did you become that kind of woman? well, as i was wallowing in my thoughts, i saw her at the gate, still the usual time she comes here in the school. then, she saw me and walked towards me.

"good mor-" i cut her off.

"lexie, how was it?"

"how was what?"

"your weekend"

"well, it was fun. i got to be wild and shouted most of the time. most of it made me really wet though". wet?! wild?! shouted?!

"w-what?!"

"yeah, i did"

"so... my thoughts were true huh?! you had sex at the hotel!"

"what are you talking about!? i didn't have sex! i'm not that kind of a woman! also, how do you know that i went into a hotel?"

"w-well, i was, kind of sad when you turned down my offer to go out and so, i decided to, follow you."

"wait, so you were stalking me?!"

"y-yes. i'm sorry about that."

"i'm sorry too, for keeping those things a secret from you. will you forgive me?"

"well, i will, when you tell me all of the things you've been keeping a secret." and so she did. i learned about the drunkards, his life and all the things he had done. after she told me everything, i was really shocked. "you're lying, right? he couldn't possibly be that kind of guy, right?"

"i am not lying, christine. everything i have told you is real. i did not make it up. i also didn't believed it at first, but i saw it with my own two eyes." she replied. i know she's telling the truth when she's really serious about something. but, handsome? i don't see that thing in him, really. i bet kyle would be more handsome than him. "well, lexie, i still don't believe that he is 'handsome' though"

"well, i can show you his face when we went inside the hotel" and after that, she ran away. well, guess i have to go back inside the room now.

Lexie's POV

i'll show her. i'll show her that he's definitely handsome. as i ran to the school gate, i met him in the garden. there, i saw him watering the plants. "mark", i called out. "oh, good morning, lexie", he replied. he reverted to his old hairstyle, huh? "mark, can you come with me for a while?"

"where are we going?"

"i'm going to change your appearance" and so i did. i made his hair the way it looked like in the hotel. "you know, i really don't like this appearance. i only do it when i'm auctioning"

"well, can you make your hair like that? please?"

"well, ok." and just like that, the school bell rang for the first period.
