No way is that...'
"Mathieu?"
"Hm?"
Roesia internally shook her head. She was surprised to see someone who almost had the same features and demeanor as him, and that's why she mistook him for Mathieu.
'Mathy can't be here,' She thought.
The man smiled.
"Mathieu? Did you perhaps mistake me for someone, milady?"
"I apologized," Roesia replied.
"It's alright." The man gestured for her to take a seat on the sofa. "However, I am curious who is this man named Mathieu and why you mistook me for him."
Sidereae was putting away the bowls and wiping the table at the ramen shop where she works.It's been two days since she got her one-week suspension from the school. Linda and Marianne also received a one-week suspension and community service as punishment.However, Sidereae knew that Linda and her friends would never change. She hopes that when their punishment is over, the bullying will not worsen.She sighed.'I wish I had a strong mentality like Krynt and a high status like Roesia.'It was disappointing that she didn't manage to give a proper payback on Amira. It would be satisfying to get revenge on someone who looks like Marianne.
"Just close your eyes, the sun is going downYou'll be alright, no one can hurt you nowCome morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound...""Hmm...mmn...mmn..."Mathieu is singing the song softly, Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift while holding Sidereae in his arms, and whenever he needs to calm Sid or Lull her to sleep, Mathieu always sings that song to her.They're currently lying on Sid's old bed in her old room.He wiped the dried tears on her cheek and carefully moved Sid into a comfortable position after seeing her asleep."You'll get sick if I
Tap, tap, tap!The butler hastened his footsteps in a hurry as he saw the time on his pocket watch.Nario arrived in front of the chamber where his master was and knocked on the huge wooden door."Master...this is Nario. I came to inform you that the carriage is already prepared.""Master..."Nario knocked again when he didn't receive any response from the Duke. Two minutes had passed, yet the Duke didn't reply to his call."Master, I'm coming in," Nario said and opened the door.When he opened the door, Nario was welcomed with a soft melody that was
"Master, we've arrived," Konrad informed when the carriage arrived in front of the secret Mansion.Idris stepped out from the carriage and was welcomed by a knight disguised as a servant."Wait here," Idris told Konrad before she followed the disguised knight inside the Mansion.Idris followed the knight inside the Mansion, and he led her to the reception room."Your Excellency, please enter," the knight said and opened the door.She entered the room and saw a person wearing a brown hooded robe facing the window.Idris didn't make a sound, and even her steps were silent against the marble floor. She decide
"Hello, brother."Idris grinned widely, but her eyes were sharp like a beast."I'm glad you look well. You don't know how worried I was when I learned that you suddenly disappeared.""Idris!?"He couldn't believe that Idris managed to track his location.Talkien's face contorted at the sight of Idris's hateful face. Every time he looks at her, his blood boils in hostility. He hated that Idris was much more outstanding than him despite her lack of interest and effort towards everything.He envied her for receiving their father's acknowledgment and having a loving mother. All Talkien wanted was to gain recog
"I-It can't be?!" Idris whispered with her eyes wide open. She could move in shock as she recognized him. He has the same face and the same mismatched eyes as Sidereae. Her feet which were glued to the ground run toward the door. She stretched her arm to reach him as tears welled up in her eyes. "Dad! Dad!" Idris called but Elknox only look at her before turning his back and disappearing into thin air. * * * "Dad, don't leave!" Sidereae woke up from her dream with her hand reaching out into the air. "...ah," she uttered in despair. This is the reason why Sid loathed being awakened from her dream. She finally saw her father. Elknox was so close for her to reach him, yet she was abruptly brought back to this ugly reality. I wish can stay in that place a little longer. Long enough to reach dad. Sid drew her hand back and briefly closed her eyes to recall Elknox's image. He still has the soft and warm appearance that Sid remembered. "It wasn't bad at all because I was able to
Everything hurts.I feel like my body will break every time I take a step. It was already in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep because of the pain. So, I decided to go downstairs and look for painkillers.Fortunately, when Mathieu dropped me off earlier, mom and her family went out for dinner. I was relieved because I was practically shaking when I entered the house, fearing that mom would see and criticize me.I grimaced as I slowly and quietly descended the stairs. It took me some time to finally arrive at the stairs' bottom. After catching my breath, I slowly walked to the kitchen and carefully opened the drawers to find the medicine.I found the medi
My suspension finally ended, and I was able to attend classes from now on while expecting to see my desk filled with trash and curses.I was a bit nervous when I entered the class, knowing I would see Linda and her friends again. But to my surprise, Linda and her gang were absent. I heard from my gossiping classmates that they got into an accident when they skipped a day from their community service to go to the beach.I don't want to be a jerk, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy about it.Anyone would feel relieved and satisfied, knowing that their bullies are finally getting hit by karma.I have no idea how long they will stay at the hospital, but for the time being, I will be enjoying my peaceful days without them."Serves them right," I whispered with a smirk.My mind started to wander as the class progressed. I couldn't focus on the teacher's lectures because my mind was bothered by Oneiroi's words, and I couldn't help but question myself.How do I feel about Mathieu?
