                “Thank God it’s Friday,” Reina said.

                “Anything planned for this coming weekend?” Lorelei asked.

                “I’ll be going to visit my grandparents as usual,” Amber said.

                “I guess I’ll just stay at home,” Reina said.

                “I’ll be meeting up with Leo’s parents,” I said.

                They all looked at me. “That’s great!” Lorelei said.

                “I’m nervous,” I said honestly.

                “Why are you nervous?” Reina asked.

                “They might not like me,” I said.

                “Don’t stress yourself. I’m sure they’ll like you,” Amber said.

                “I wish,” I said.

                We were in the school grounds just hanging out. Our class was already finished and we were just staying in the school for a while.

                Then I noticed someone sat at one of the bench. Celine.

                “Who are you looking at?” Lorelei asked.

                They all looked at where I’m looking.

                “Celine Evans,” Reina said.

                “You know her?” I asked her.

                “Of course. She’s new in here. The same day as Bitchgelica came,” Reina explained. “She’s pretty isn’t she?”

                “Do you know anything about her?” I asked.

                “Why are you curious?” Reina asked me with raised eyebrow.

                “It just that. I think Leo knew her,” I said.

                “Jealous?” Amber asked.

                “I guess,” I said. “You see. Every time we see her, Leo suddenly changes.”

                “I just can’t look at her records you know,” Reina said. “That’s against the rules.”

                “I know. I’m sorry,” I said miserably. Why am I jealous? Maybe I’m insecure. Because she was so much prettier than me. Sigh. I looked at her again. She was reading a book.

                “Hey guys! I need to go now,” Lorelei said.

                “Me too,” Reina said.

                “Let’s go home,” Amber said.

                “I’ll stay here just for a few minutes,” I said.

                “Okay then. Just don’t think about her that much. Leo really loves you, okay?” Reina said.

                I smiled and said goodbye to them. Then they left me.
