They slowly make their way to the teacher's office's window on the second floor. As Cheongsan takes a peak in the room, it seems to be swarming with zombies. Without making a single noise he and Suhyeok kneel under a desk, trying to navigate where the student's phones are kept. It looks like a girl with a torn shirt is smashing all the phones. Silently, Cheongsan stretches his arm to grab a phone trying not to attract the bloody creatures' attention as the girl catches him screaming, 

'I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU-'

 Elvira gets interrupted at the most crucial moment in the new series she started watching: All of Us are dead. As she has her earbuds on, she couldn't hear what the teacher was saying and a tap on her shoulder brings her back to real life. She turns her head beside her to see a smiling Min Hyuk who's telling her to take her earbuds off.

 'The teacher's calling you.' 

Oh shit. 

She brushes the thought of getting in trouble away and walks to the front of the classroom. 

'Ms. Ashton, congratulation on achieving the highest mark in yesterday's test. I couldn't be prouder.' 

Wait what? She said Ashton right?... 

Elvira blinks as her teacher pats her back handing her the test paper and motioning her to go back to her desk. Everyone claps for her as her friends gather around her desk as the bell rings. 

'Class highest. Pretty impressive, El.' Savannah states.

 'I'm certain that you'll get country highest next time.' Celeana says as Amelia adds,

 'More like world highest!' 

'So proud of you El.' Kira pats her head as Rosalie goes through her math paper for the second time.

 'How did you even do number 2? I couldn't even start it!'

 'Let's just say a certain IQ 162 taught me how to do it.' Elvira smirks.

 'Oooh who is it?' 

'Oh look. Nicole's here!' She jumps up from her seat to greet her. 

'So why don't you move in already?'

 'I will. Don't get so impatient you child.' 

'I think it's that tutor of hers.' Rosalie comments.

 'Could be.' Their discussion is put to a halt when Evander enters the class making Savannah walk to him and link their arms going back to the group.

 'By the way guys, me and Evander are dating.' 

'Congrats!' Amelia exclaims as the others just smile at them. When both of them are leaving for lunch, they intersect paths with Elvira who was looking for her teach to thank him,

 'Hey El!' 

'Hey!' 

'Did you know we are dating?'

 'Woah! Finally. I thought it would take forever to you know- Anyways I hope he treats you well or I'll be the one showing him that I won the National Martial Arts competition last year.' She ends with a sweet smile as Savannah laughs.

 'See you later. Gotta go bye!' She walks off.

 The day reaches its end as Elvira returns home still unable to find Seo Joon. As she arrives at the lobby of Emerald Palace, her eyes turn into a euphoric shade of brown at the sight of him.
