The day has changed and i secretly told nana and irithel about the hideout i find, keeping in the location though since i haven't ask Claude's permission for them to enter. Though, i don't know why i even considered that.

It's lunchtime, and i decided to go to the dojo with some books i stored up yesterday. I haven't read all of them, so it's nice.

"Dexter!" I said after passing the entrance, "are you by your own?" I cheerfully greet him, giving a small banana i bought from home. He dances around happily before running inside. I had to take off my shoe upfront, because although the building's old and rickety the inside is totally fine. Unexpectedly claude even cleans this place regularly.

I stretch my arms and dig in on my books. Opening one book that halfway read but i heard Claude's coming.

"Heya, i see you're here today." He smiled, having another banana in hand.  I nodded lightly and continue reading. Claude on the other hand, practice shooting with his water gun to an empty can set out at the courtyard.

Oh yeah, "hey claude?" Claude hums as an answer. "Do you mind if i bring mana and irithel here?"

There's a brief pause. "no, not at all. Just don't bring too many people here. Otherwise, it wouldn't secret anymore and they'll thrash the place." He grumbles at the end.

Hahaha, i understand.

"What's that you read, little bee?" Claude comes, peeking in from above me.

I coughes, suddenly he calls me by nicknames and my heart pounds every time he said so.

"N-nothing much, it's just romance," i gulped, trying to focus on the words printed on the book.

"Oh? What's it about?"

"A couple trapped in a loop, one of them must die in order to get out from the loop." I mumbled.

"That so? Sounds harsh." He said, taking one of my book i bought here.

"Sure claude, help yourself," I mutter, and he chuckle.

"By the way, did rafaela give you something?" He interrupts again, but it had my attention.

"No, why?" I raise my head, looking over to him.

"I heard she give everyone a little cake since it's her birthday," He whistled, finding the book to his liking.

"Is that so? Did you get something? I really have to see her today," i laughs. No wonder Alucard's so pushy over the past week. He's just trying to give his best to her.

When lunchtime is over, i head back to class, catching a figure turning at the corner to the stairs i knew wasn't his class. My feet followed the trail, reaching the rooftop, yet another banned place for students to enter, but, meh.

"Alucard?" I find the boy to be leaning against the fence, gazing to the sky. He turned to find me at the door, flashing a gentle smile.

"What're you doing here, miya? Isn't lunchtime over?" He teased.

"I could ask you the same." I quip.

"It's ok for me to be here, but you, miss, you're a model student." He points playfully at me who take a stand beside him, curious as to what his view is.

I snorted, "this model student decided to drop the title for now." He gives a smug snort. Something that missed my calculations, usually he'd let out a guffaw by now. Hm, something's not right.

"Why? What is it?" I ask, leaning also to the fence. Looking down from here, it's the back of the school with the flowerbed and the fence. Meaning... everyone can see me coming and leaving from here. Yikes.
