"Thunder fire you!" Excel says amidst laughter, meanwhile Nimi who just resumed a few minutes ago chuckles.

"The fact remains, Nimi is the bad egg amongst us, we haven't been punished since we resumed, but give us two days after his arrival," Gideon says. Making Nimi give him a funny look.

"April!" Light calls out for the fourth time since he joined her in the class, it was almost time for assembly, they were also clearly the only ones in the class. Once he gets no response, he taps her. Making April flinch.

"I have been calling your name, what's going on in this small brain of yours." Light says while he playfully uses his finger to push her head a little.

"How long have you been here?" April asks, not minding how dumb she sounded.

"Long enough to have called your name four times." Light chuckles.

"Don't be ridiculous." April smile, and gets up immediately. If there was one person who made her forget about her problems, it was Light.

"You know I got you a Christmas gift and forgot it at home." Light says and chuckles, meanwhile, April smiles. "Don't worry, I will get it during the mid-term," Light smiles. Meanwhile, April who had bigger things in mind just nods playfully. She picks up her bag from the chair, since the money incident, she never kept her bag without being with it. She attempts to walk away but gets pulled back by Light.

Speechless by the way he pulled her, she looks into his eyes for some time.

"What's wrong?" Light asks with a serious look on his face. "You don't look bright, the way you just behaved, isn't the way you would have." Light says and takes a deep breath.

"Is it because of Dumlesi? Look you don't need to let all those hurtful words she says get to you. You are better than that. Always know you are you and nothing can change that. People will hate you for no reason while some will also love you. Always know you don't need anyone to survive," Light says.

"You won't understand how I feel. I just... I.., " She takes a deep breath.

"April, there are people who love and care about you. Not for what you have or possess, but for who you are. You know, you always have me right?" Light asks with a smile. "So stop being a crybaby."

  April takes a deep breath, before giving Light a bone-crushing hug, which he was clearly not prepared for.

"Cry, baby!" He jokes, meanwhile April smiles while she pulls herself away, she attempts to say something else, but stops herself, she felt like letting it out, she needed someone to talk to and Light seemed like the only one she could trust.

"What's wrong?" Light who noticed her behavior asks.

"I think I have feelings for Senior Jordan," April says staring into Light asks, she watched his facial expression turn from shock to serious.

           
How the topic changed so fast became a mystery.
