Chapter IX

Yuri

I roamed around the Ferrer residence, considering the fact it was really large that sometimes my jaw dropped. But I don't know what's more disturbing. The fact I get all nostalgic in this place or Zelo being with me feeling the same.

You even care for him. The mind and heart cooperates in this time.

Shut up me. Not now.

I was moving my eyes around and feel as if the air and the surroundings weren't new to me. Its like its been a long time since I'm in an environment like this. And I was welcomed by it. Contented by its embrace, when I suddenly turned to Zelo, our eyes met.

Feeling firm I said "What is it?"

"Notning. My head just spun." he said as if he wasn't over reminiscing.

"I-" My sentence was cut when he suddenly said

"Are you in danger?"

I couldn't picture why that question was out of the blue and I confidently said

"How am I in danger? The only danger I'll deal with is the rest of the school year stting next to you."

Zelo put on a wide grin and smirked. Then he said

"I'm quite impressed of your awareness. I'll make sure you'll never forget the remaining days you have with me."

A chill went down my spine as if the threat starts now.

Zelo

Similar to Yuri's thoughts, I too know that I've been to this place. I tried hard to remember but it just made my head ache. Then I remembered the guy in black who attempted to hurt us.

Truth be told, Worry is all over your face. All over your mind and all over you heart.

There was no point denying. So I asked her.

"Are you in danger?"

She must've felt uneasy with the question but I just had to.

"How am I in danger? The only danger I'll deal with is the rest of the school year stting next to you." was her confident reply.

And I hate to admit the fact that she was really attractive. Knowing the fact she was strong enough to face challenges ahead. And so I showed up a wide grin, challenging her to get ready.

"I'm quite impressed of your awareness. I'll make sure you'll never forget the remaining days you have with me."

And even I wasn't sure. But the question kept repeating on my mind.

Do I like her?

The Ferrer residence wasn't so new to me. From top to bottom. Every furniture and details, though sometimes I can't resist to take a glimpse of Kenzo every now and then.

Kenzo caught me in the eye. I was about to look away when he said

"What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing. I-uhm-was just wondering.." I replied instantly hoping he wouldn't notice that I kept looking at him.

"Wondering about?" he asked curiously.

"Uhm. Have we met before?" I said in reply. I also wondered how I got that question. But he seemed familiar so I just had to.
