" Miss Rosalia? " 

" Miss Rosalia? " 

Several sounds is echoing near Rosalia's ears. She is still on her bed and is enjoying her sleep. These sounds are annoying to her. This turns her mood bad.

" 5 minutes more... Don't disturb me... " She cannot help but groans with annoyance.

Suddenly, the room returns into silence. She thinks that she can finally have a nice sleep again. However, light footsteps are heard and they are getting louder and louder. Someone is walking towards her. 

" If you don't wake up at once, you are fired! " A male's voice echoes in the room.

After a second, she jumps up from the bed with surprise. " Frederick!? " She yells when widening her eyes.

Her eyes lock on the male who is sitting comfortably on the sofa, gazing at her with a smirk.

" What do you want in this early morning? I don't think that cooking breakfast for you is my duty. " 

" Are you blind? " His smirk grows larger and larger. He points at his clothes, and says, " Can't you see that I am wearing school uniform? " 

She just notices it. He is wearing white shirt, grey jacket, blue tie, grey trousers and a pair of black leather shoes. He is quite handsome in these costume, right? 

" Are you daydreaming? Idiot! Change yours quickly! We have to finish the breakfast and leave as fast as possible! " He says when he is pointing at the clothes on the small table in the corner. Then, he leaves with a sigh.

She slowly climbs down the large bed with tiredness. She brushes her teeth and cleans herself up quickly. Then, she reaches to get her new school uniform and changes them. After changing, she looks at herself through the mirror. The white shirt is okay. The blue tie is okay. The grey jacket is okay. The dark blue checked short skirt is okay too. After checking her costume, she starts treating her hair. She ties her blonde long curly hair into a ponytail with a red ribbon, only leaving a few strands of hair out.

Everything looks good. Therefore, she walks downstairs to the dining room. She sees Frederick is having his breakfast quietly when a lot of maids and housekeepers are surrounding him. They notice her and signalize her to sit next to Frederick. They help her to pull out the chair and ask her to sit politely. Some of them enter the kitchen and take out the meal to her.

" Thank you. " She replies politely with a smile. Then, she starts her meal. 

The whole room is almost silent, except the sounds of chewing food and the sounds between the forks and plates. The atmosphere is awkward for her since when she was having meals with her family, everyone were chatting happily. However, the situation now is the opposite one.

She takes a glance on him, and sees that he is focusing on eating only. She sighs and turns back to her dish. 

The maids give her a new school bag with textbooks and stationary. She gets it and then follows Frederick to the luxury car. 

She sits next to him with embarrassment. Once the car is going, the silence between them never ends as well. 

She glances at him secretly, discovering that he is watching the views outside when propping his head with one hand. She sighs again when looking outside too.

She still remembers last night. She and Frederick had a wonderful talk when listening him playing piano last night. At that time, he was nice and friendly. However, why does he seem to be so difficult to approach now? 

It is strange...

Once they arrive the school, Rosalia is immediately shocked by this kind of school. This is not a normal school. This is somehow luxury for a school. She had never imagined that she will study here.

She knows, it is the most famous high school in her country, Angel Wings Academy. Why is it so famous? The most important reason is, it is one of the top school in the world. Many professionals in different prospects gather here as teachers. And a lot of rich men invest in here, so many modern but expensive equipment can be found here. Besides, this school cannot be entered by normal people, like her. Most of the students are the sons or daughters from rich families, and the rest of them have great talents in some regions. Someone normal like her cannot study here, but she is going to study here now?! 

She looks down to observe her school uniform. She just discovers the logo of this school on the jacket. She cannot help but only widens her eyes with a mixed feelings of shock, fears and excitement.

" Idiot! You never notice the school logo on the uniform, right? " Frederick stands next to her and smirks teasingly.

She cannot say anything now since she is too scared. She understands, she is normal and stupid. How can she study in this kind of school? She must be kicked out soon. It is embarrassing!

He seems to understand her feelings. He suddenly holds her hands and pulls her inside. 

" You will be fine. I am here with you, you know? " 

A sudden warm comforting words hit her heart without expectation. She feels heat on her cheek and butterfly in her stomach. 

He is in front of her to pull her forwards, so she cannot observe his face. However, she truly knows the large difference between her and him, so a sudden and impossible thought is thrown away from her mind at once.

He brings her to one of the classroom called Class 3-A. Everyone inside stare at them with surprises and something like fury and jealousy. 

He sits down in one of the seat and signalizes her to sit next to him. She obeys. 

" Here is my class. Now it is yours too. " He says without any expressions.

Her mind starts to be clear again. However, a lot of questions are still in her mind. Therefore, she decides to ask him in this moment.

" Why can I study here? I am such a normal and unintelligent girl. The school should not accept here logically. " 

He sighs before answering, " I am who? With the investments by my parents in this school, how can the principal say no to my request? " 

" But you should know that I am not suitable to study here. With my bad performance and results, I must be kicked out soon. Why do you have to put me in this kind of situation? Are you going to embarrass me? " 

He smirks, " I have said that. I am here with you, so you don't need to worry. " 

" How can you help me? I don't think that you will teach me. " 

" So you're wrong. I will teach you. " 

" Why? I am just your servant. Why? " 

His expression is getting weird. He starts stuttering, " I-I... " 

The school bell suddenly rings. A male teacher comes in early after the ring of the bell. He looks around the class. After discovering Rosalia, he starts checking the documents in his hands.

" Okay. We have a new student in our class. Can you come out to have a self introduction? " 

She gets panicked for a while. Then, she stands up and walks to the front of the class strangely. 

Frankly saying, she is a shy girl. She is not used to talk to a large group of people. Therefore, she is extremely nervous in this moment. She can even hear her own pounding sound of her heart inside her chest.

She stands near the teacher desk. " H-hi everyone... I am Rosalia... N-nice to meet you... " She stutters before rushing back to her seat and panting.

" Okay. Thank you for this ... brief introduction. Alright. Let's start our first lesson. " The teacher says.

Rosalia collapses on the desk. She can clearly hear the small laughing sound from the others. She does not take a look on Frederick since she thinks that he must laugh with them as well. She and they are totally different people. A prickle in her heart is felt when thinking of this.

During the recess, she rushes out the classroom when ignoring the calls from Frederick. she just runs. Running pass the other students who are staring at her and running through the long porticoes, she arrives to somewhere with a lot of flowers and trees. 

It is the school garden. After checking that there is no one, she lays on the grass and sobs. She never knows, someone is watching her in the shadow. The one who was important to her before. Before 2 years.

" Why is she here? " 

He gazes at her. A soothing smile is appeared on his beautiful face. 

" She is just like the past. She is beautiful... " 

Back to Rosalia, she is still weeping with her eyes shut. Suddenly, a pair of warm hands land on her shivering shoulder. She opens her eyes and sees Frederick.

" I have said that everything is fine. You don't need to worry. Just leave them to me, okay? "

She wipes away her tears, and murmurs, " But I am not the same level with you and the others... " 

He stares at her. " Do you remember what have I just told you? " 

She nods. " Don't you think that I am clumsy? I cannot even make a great speech in front of the class. " 

He softens his expression. " You don't turn to see me. But I can tell you, I never laugh at you. " 

"Really? " 

" Of course yes. " 

A hand is pulled out from him. She gazes at him and smiles, then, she places her hand on his. He pulls her up and walks away with her.

The man in the shadow walks out after they leave. He clutches his fists. 

" Rosalia... "
