Frostfall (Leonardo X Female Reader)

The Plot Thickens

You woke up to the sound of your alarm blaring in your ears, immediately waking you up, shooting your body upwards with a soft gasp leaving your lips. You groaned, placing your hand on your wound that was still in the process of recovering. Thankfully, it had become very small but it still hurt you. Flipping your legs over the edge of the bed, you stretched your body and got up, grabbing a shirt, pants, socks and a jacket of your choice from your closet, went to the bathroom and changed. Once you were done, you went downstairs with your bag to the kitchen and found April eating her breakfast alone. You two made eye contact but she broke it and looked down at her food, focusing back on eating.

"Good morning." You greeted softly with a smile. "Did you hear about that goo monster last night?"

"Oh, uh yeah." She replied, still not making eye contact with you.

"Witnesses say it was looking for you. Did you come into contact with it?"

"Yeah but someone helped me. Some girl with white hair and ice powers."

"That's good to know... What do you think about her?" You asked as you started to feel nervous. She finally looked up at you and raised a brow, wondering why you were asking that question.

"She's okay I guess. I didn't get the chance to know her before I had to leave." Relief washed over you as she said that, at least she didn't hate your alter ego.

"That's good. It's always nice to have someone watch your back huh?" April seemingly lowered her head as you said that and a guilty expression rested on her face. You grew concerned and approached her.

"April, I can't help but notice you've been distant lately. Is everything okay?" You asked in a soft tone.

April huffed, putting her plate in the sink and slid her backpack over her shoulders. "I'll tell you later. I'll go ahead to school. See you." She replied monotonously before she left the room. You sighed, going to the fridge and getting out your pre-made sandwich. You sat on the table and ate in silence. However it was broken as your phone rang and you picked it up to hear Michael's voice. He asked you where you were last night and you responded that you ran into the goo monster and that it attacked you so you had to go to the hospital to recover. He asked you if you were okay and you reassured him that you were fine. He then wondered if you wanted anything at 7-11 since he was going there and you politely denied. With that, Michael ended the call just as you finished your food and left the room.

School went by as usual, some classes were interesting, others were less and some were extremely boring but it was nothing new. However, what was new and odd was Gunter coming up to you and asking you to come by his house to continue working on the project. He even asked Jeremy. Both of you accepted since you did need to finish the project and you had to work together. And so, the three of you went to his mansion together. The walk was calm and you talked about some topics you all knew in common which was mostly school work, teachers and gossip. It was nice.

You all arrived and you noticed Jeremy looking at the building in awe which made you smirk before going inside with Gunter. He led you all to his room but he didn't go in. You gave him a questioning look, asking him where he was going and he replied that he was going to bring you drinks before he went down. You and Jeremy settled down on the table, got your things out and waited for the blond boy. A few minutes later, he came back with three cups of water and distributed them to you, Jeremy and himself. You gulped down the liquid, feeling the fresh water filling your throat with europhea; you were more thirsty that you had thought. Then you all got to work. 5 minutes went by and you saw Jeremy slowly lower his eyelids and his head. He tried to lift his head up and open his eyes but his tiredness took over and his head landed on the table.
