Chapter 17-Lucas Lee

Rayleigh's POV

"My name is Rayleigh Greyhound." I answered.

I'm really nervous, but I try not to show it. I just look at him with a calm expression, waiting for what he's going to say next.

Lucas just stood there, a little surprised. Looks like he heard about me. So that means he is also aware of my bad reputation, which is really worrying, it might lessen the chance of me being forgiven by this tyrant.

"Oh? The trash?" Lucas raises his eyebrows.

I sweat a little.

You know, you don't have to be so blunt and say it to my face.

Not knowing what I should say next, I just remained silent.

Luckily, a voice saved me from such a heavy situation.

"Lucas!" someone called.

Lucas looks at the red-haired girl who casually called out to him. I looked at the girl and recognized her. She is Lourdes Lee, Lucas' younger sister. It is stated in the novel that these two are very close and she hates the heroine, Mary. When Lucas fell in love with Mary, his sister was jealous that her brother's attention to her had waned. Lourdes is about a year younger than her brother. Lucas and I are the same age, so I think she's my kouhai.

'Wow, they almost looked alike... I thought.

"What are you doing there brother? I was so alone at the party." she pouted.

"Sorry. I wanted to get someplace quiet for a while." Lucas

he says in his usual monotone voice.

"You evil bastard. I was so alone at the party!" Lourdes puts again. "Come on, let's go back."

Lucas sighed and gave a nod. Then he looks at me, I

I tried not to show any possible expression.

"Oh? Who is this?" Lourdes looks at me.

She approached me and looked me up and down. She suddenly touches my hair and starts playing with it. "His hair color is the same as my favorite cotton candy I eat."

Hi girl! Why are you touching me all of a sudden!?

I looked over at Lucas who was staring at us intently.

Let go already! He might be unhappy!

"Hey, what's your name!?" she pinches both my cheeks and pull close to her.

Not to mention, I hate performing.

"He's the infamous trash everyone was talking about." Lucas frowned head.

Oh boy...

The girl's eyes widen in shock.

"Really? He doesn't look like it!" she says in surprise as she pinches both my cheeks.

There. Seriously, she should let go. My cheeks are already hurting.

"Put it down. You mustn't touch the garbage, you'll get dirty." he says while lifts her sister off the ground, separating the two of us.

"Big brother! You finally got a friend? That's totally awesome." Lourdes hooted.

Don't say those things! This guy is a total loner! he hates the people except you and your family, especially the heroine.

"No." he quickly denied.

To see? And we just met. From my perspective, you don't suddenly make friends with strangers!

"Come on, we're heading back to the party." he says and drags his sister.

Lourdes just pouted.

When they started to walk away, he stopped and looked at me with a cold gaze passes through me.

"Since my parents said it's allowed. I guess I don't have

choice but to allow you..."' he tells me.

What?... Is he going to let me stay here for a while?...

"...But if I find out that they really didn't allow it. Then you'll have to face the consequences." he threatened, looking at me with a pointed look.

I swallowed hard.

"Also, don't show your face ever again." he says in an icy tone.

And after that, they both left.

I just stood there, I can't believe a miracle just happened. I wasn't punished. Knowing Lucas, even if I told him his parents are the only ones who let him, he wouldn't let me go that easily. Even if his victim's excuse was very reasonable, he still gives them a horrible punishment. Yes, also knowing him, he would have already punished me here and now, but he didn't.

Honestly, I was already losing hope. I really thought I might not be able to make it out alive. Fortunately, he actually released me, despite knowing my reputation.

I wonder why he left me so easily...

I think he was probably in a good mood today since it's his birthday, that's why he was forgiving. Whatever the reason, I should be grateful. I'm glad I'm still alive. So far in my life here, I finally got lucky for the first time.

I decided not to stay here anymore because of what happened earlier, so I went back to my family. And just in time, the party is over and now we're about to go home. I think for the first time I felt so relieved coming home.

____________

The next day, the director announced that there would be a musical show. Everyone was shocked, many were stressed and pressured because everyone has to participate. Unfortunately for them, not everyone is good at music.

Right now, we are being divided into groups. I could see all my classmates' expressions. I bet they are looking to join Shane Valerez, the most talented and well known conductor.

I know who my groupmates are now, and I'm sure they would all be disappointed. Having Rayleigh in their group, they would think it was bad luck.

The teacher began to separate. And the result was expected. I'm grouped with Jadon, Bridgette, Liam and Sky.

The four looked at me in silence, I could tell by the look in their eyes.

faces that they really don't want me in their group.

"Rayleigh Greyhound? Really? Why him?" Sky whispers to Jadon.

"Shhh. Silence. He's our groupmate. We have no choice." Jadon whispers back.

You know guys... I could hear you.

I realized how far they are from me. They are about how many centimeters away from me.

The four of them just stared at me like I was some wild animal or something.

Wow, I don't bite.

We all stood there for how many minutes, still doing nothing and the other groups are already discussing their plan.

Sigh. These four....

"Hey..." I said.

The four flinched.

"What is the plan?" I asked.

Are we going to stay here the whole time or not? This is already getting weird.
