Part I

Chapter Five

Am I dreaming? I'm falling, falling down in a dream? Or someone left me somewhere else?

The feeling of being thrown into the water is back, no .. don't ... no no no no no! Please don't leave me! The feeling of uneasiness drowned me, and I felt that the whole body of air seemed to be squeezed out ... The lungs were quickly drained and breathing became so difficult that the feeling of suffocation faded, I saw three children, two boys and a girl. Those two boys were playing with their own toy car, while the little girl grabs her doll in one hand and slides the slide by her side. When the boys noticed the girl, they scrambled to catch the girl's attention but the little girls did not seem interesting to play with them. Why? I wondered. 

Then the image began to shift, and by the time the three children were in lower senior school, one of the boys liked the girl, but the girl liked the boy who did not like her. One day, the girl gave her confession to the boy who she liked. The boy did not accept nor reject, but since then, the boy started being cold to her, treated her like a stranger. This situation could be good but also bad, during this period of time, the other boy has been always liked that girl. Eventually, the girl chose to accept the boy who had always liked her, but not long after, the boy who liked the girl slowly became transparent and slowly returned to her original appearance. Why?

More and more blurred images, more and fuzzier, slowly, I tried to open my eyes, the scene in front of me gradually clear, I saw a fuzzy figure, is a boy. Is that Malus?

Here is the school's health care room, wow, it's wooden colour, very fancy, I thought it was a piece of white, boring area.
"Are you okay? How do you feel now?" Del hurled and asked me quickly.

Why is he here? "Hm ... What happened? How long have I been here?" I asked. "You have been asleep for three days, and the doctor said the reason that caused you fainted long period of lacked adequate sleep plus eating disorders, this is the first time for me to see people who don't take care of themselves ..." He said.

"Who had come here before you? And why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the lesson?" I wondered. "Wow slow down girl, one after the other... First, the teachers have come to see you and the doctors as well. Uh ... I'm here because I'm worried about you, as a friend, Ah! I almost forgot, there was a boy who gave me a note and told me to give it to you when you're awake. "

He flipped his coat pocket and handed me the note.

My eyes suddenly flash. This is his handwriting. I had a peek at his notes on the history of the magic lesson.
"Thank you for taking care of me here. I am much better now. Go back to class as soon as possible! Don't want you to be behind of the target because of me." I said, "Alright, call me anytime if you need me!" He nodded as he said. I watched him walked toward the exit of the healthcare room.

I took a deep breath then opened the note. Said on the note, To Moll: Look at the entrance.

I looked at that short sentence with my puzzled mind, my sight moved to the entrance of the health care room, qui - gaa - the door opened. I saw him come out from behind the door. Step by step walking toward me.

"Hey, how are you?" He said, "Actually, I have something to tell you today about the last time in the back garden."

Does he finally gonna give me his respond? Will he accept it? Say it quickly! I don't want to wait any longer.
"I used to think that you're a very interesting girl, so I came closer to you, but unfortunately I don't think so now, so I'm sorry I can't accept you. We better go back to the situation before we know each other." He showed a frivolous smile.
I didn't react for a moment, did he just ... what?! Pretending we don't know each other? "Why do we need to pretending we don't know each other?" I asked with my puzzled face. "Ha ha ha, you don't understand? Do you? You're Rhovanon's daughter! How could I be with Rhovanon's daughter! I haven't gone mad! I just wanted to see how innocent and stupid you are! Ha ha ha! Is that clear enough?"
Is this what he truly is? After he finished, he walked toward the exit of the meteor. Bump! Door closed.
Did I fall into another drowsiness?

Moll! Moll! Wake up! I opened my eyes and saw Hila, Jessica, Takase and Ginger around me.
"What the hell had happened to you recently? Tell us! How did you faint?" One question came after the other one, with their worry faces. "I just saw Malus going out from here. Something happened between you guys?"
I said everything about the context of things, including the last ball. When I finished, everyone's eyes were wider, they mouths as well.

"What !!? Everything you said is true? Why don't you tell us?" They said in unison.
A few days later, my body has been getting better, in the recovery process I have been thinking about Malus's question, he really lied to me? Or there's someone behind the scene?

"Hey! You finally came to the lesson, have you eaten properly now?" Del abruptly emerged from my back and shocked me.
"Of course, you do not want me to come to the lesson?" I jokingly said.

We talked while walking, he walked with me to the psychology classroom then gave me his classic sunshine smile, go back to the classroom.
When I walked into the classroom I saw the students in our class, but no teacher.
"Where's the teacher?" I said. "Moll, You finally show on!" Hila said happily.
"The teacher is unusually late today and I don't know why," said Ginger.
I vaguely heard the bursts of footsteps, da, da, da.
It's Ms Smokeflower coming, the sound of her high heels. "Umm, the psychology teacher is not feeling well, so off you go everyone, go self-study this lesson" Ms Smokeflower, as usual, simple and neat.
"Hey! Moll! Where are you going to study?" Del catches up my speed.

"Of course in the study room!" I said.
"Then I'll go with you, what if you faint like last time!" Del said with worry eyes.
"Do what you want then, my body is that weak now!" I argued to his point.
As we walked to the course room, I seemed to see a familiar figure, and I saw him sitting on the wall of the third row on the right of the room, reading his book. "Moll? Moll? Moll!!" The scene in my dream suddenly flashed my mind.
"Moll!" Del shouted at me loudly, scared the shit out of me.
"Let's go, or we're gonna be late! What are you thinking?" I looked at his puzzled face.
"Nothing, let's go," I said calmly.
We sat in the second row of the left position, my little theatre has repeated the play for thousands of time already. Why it's not the end of the lesson yet?
