walking at the corridor of
their school, aruelia was being
attentive to her surroundings.

after she left eurydice, she
noticed that someone started
following her. something is
urging her to look at her back
yet she let go off that thought.

the stalker didn't stopped
following her, she thought of
a way to confuse the person.
so she walked on different
paths until she got relieved.

she walked straight to their
locker room to get her things.

while getting her things on
her locker, her book suddenly
fell. she was about to get it
when someone handed it to her.

she thanked the one who
handed her book and arranged
her things . . . then she
stopped.

she immediately closed her
locker and looked from the
left to the right to check if
someone was also in there.

she's alone.

her heart beats fast, she
got her things and started
running away of fear . . . yet
she stopped when someone
pulled her.

she was about to shout but
the guy covered her mouth.

❝ shh, don't worry it's just
me. i'm harmless.❞

she looked at the guy who
scared her to death, it was
him again.

❝ harmless my shit.❞ she
glared after murmuring and
removed his hand violently.

❝ how can you be harmless
when i don't even know you?
you also scared me you bi-❞

❝ well that is not important,❞
he cut her and coughed.

❝ i actually followed you up
to here because . . . i need to
clarify things.❞

she looked at her confusedly,
covering her fear.

❝ i guess i know the things
that he wants to clarify.❞

❝ was it you who spread her
video?❞ he asked straight to the
point, which made her rise her
eyebrows.

❝ what the fuck are you
talking about?❞ she asked
confused, really confused.
she can't help but laugh.

❝ why are you laughing?
aren't you guilty of what you've
done?❞

she shook her head and
massaged her temple.

❝ i thought you're smart
enough.❞

she stopped massaging her
temple and composed herself,
then she looked at the guy
seriously.

❝ you know mister whatever-your-name-is,
what you were thinking
was all wrong. so if i were
you, conduct another
investigation that will lead
you to the truth.❞

she shake off the dusts
on her uniform.

❝ not what you think is true,
was really the truth. sometimes
it is the other way round.❞
