Lily was an eighteen year old girl. She was an orphan and was studying with scholarship money. She had completed school and decided to study law.

She woke up around 4 am and said to herself,
"This back and shoulder pain doesn't really suit my age now, does it?"

She got up from her bed and started scrolling on her phone while brushing her teeth. Suddenly, the news of the actor John being killed popped up on her phone. Her eyebrows scrunched in confusion as she put the phone on a side and washed her face. She started staring at herself in the mirror .

She then took a shower and got herself dressed. She opened the refrigerator and took a glass of milk for her breakfast, then she looked at her phone again and read the whole article that she saw a while ago. She gasped,
"There was no need to put his head in a giftbox now, and he looked good in his new hair colour too."

At last, she started putting on her shoes and thought to herself ,
what a waste, red hair suited him.
And she ran to her college next where she had arrived in fifteen minutes.

Lily reached her college and rushed to look for the room she was supposed to be in. She was frustrated as she was alredy late.
"Ah, that old man, who sets the first lecture to be at half past 5?", lily thought to herself.

While she was rushing, she bumped into a person taller than her. Though she didn't stop, she just looked back for a second while walking away from that person . She only saw the silhouette of that person .
His hair is not red. She thought to herself in the time when she reached her classroom.

Lily entered the room and Leo stopped her,
"You're late, miss. Do you think Law is easy or you're just too smart, or maybe that all these people are dumb?"
Lily glared at him and sat on an empty seat. Leo shrugged and continued his lecture which he had started before Lily arrived.

When the lecture was over, all the students left the room except Lily. Leo didn't notice her presence and began to collect his stuff as he had to leave now as well, when he felt a cold gaze. That was when he looked around and, it was Lily. She was staring at him with a confused look on her face.

That girl, she's not easy, Leo thought to himself.
"Miss, won't you leave now?"
"I will when I'd like to."
"You were the late one, right?"
"Right"
"You should know who I am, My name is..."
Lily cut him off this time, "..Leo. I know. I shall take my leave now."
Lily then left the room.
