The next day, the air school felt different , irene dressed in blue mini skirt that is above knees with a white shirt she adjusted her bag on her shoulder, scanning the courtyard.
And then she saw a boy she had never seen before in school standing near the entrance, surrounded by a small group of students whispering and staring.
His dark hair fell slightly into his eyes, and his posture was relaxed and cool
But what caught Irene's attention the most is his eyes, they didn't look human ,Even from a distance, there was something sharp about the eyes,the are observant and Calculating.
Irene frowned slightly and looked away.
"New student?" mia asked beside her.
"Looks like it," Irene replied.
Across the courtyard, the boy's gaze followed Irene as she walked away.
A faint smile touched his lips.
"So that's her…"His voice was low, almost amused,Interesting
In the other side lucian was walking with his head up until he sees the new boy staring at irene earlier
The moment he sees the boy, something in his chest tightened.
His senses sharpened instantly and then their eyes met,Lucian paused for a while, he didn't look away and the new boy didn't too
Then the new boy smile widened as if he found his target
The boy tilted his head slightly, as greeting him without words.
Then, slowly he turned his gaze toward Irene.
Lucian's expression darkened immediately.
"No," he muttered under his breath.
Irene was halfway to her class when she suddenly felt as if someone was watching her again and She turned and froze when she found out the the person
The new boy was standing closer to her now
She was sure he hadn't been there a second ago.
"Hi," he said smoothly,His voice was calm.
"I'm new here.", he added
Irene blinked, caught off guard.
"Oh… um, hi.", she managed to sound normal
Something about the way he look at her made a chill run down her spine.
Before they could share more words a hand grabbed her wrist.
"Stay away from him," Lucian said sharply.
The new boy's smile didn't fade In fact It deepened
"Well," he said, looking directly at Lucian,"That's not a very polite way to welcome someone."
Lucian stepped slightly in front of Irene, his body tense.
"Stay away from her okay? " , lucian said
Then the boy leaned in just a little, his voice dropping low enough that only Lucian could hear then he said"are you talking to me? "
Lucian's eyes darkened instantly,and Irene looked between them confusely
Okay, what is going on", irene asked and anyone of them did not say a word before the new boy turned and walked away as if nothing happened
Irene pulled her hand away from Lucian."Who is that?" she demanded.
Lucian didn't answer immediately.His gaze was still fixed on the boy's retreating figure.
"I don't know honestly, but i know that is human and he is up to something ", he whisper
Irene's breath caught
" But don't worry, there is nothing to worry about "
Before she could say more the bell rang and they went to their class
By the last period, no one was paying attention anymore.
Because something way more important had taken over the entire school,A party
Irene's phone buzzed again under her desk.she ignored it at first but the phone keep buzzing indicating messages, She glanced down quickly.
GROUP CHAT
Eliose:hey guys do you know what's going o
Amanda:what??
Eliose:Roman is throwing a party!!
Lina:wow!!
Hardin: i've been waiting for a party
Irene sighed and locked her phone,She wasn't really in the mood for loud music and fake smiles.not after everything though
She looked up and looked at the new boy sitting casually at the back of the class like he owns the school, he met her gaze instantly as he smiles brightly at her and irene immediately looked away, her heart beating faster.
In the other side of the room lucian is there looking at everything tgat is happening between irene and the new boy, the eye contact,the tension and all
Irene quickly grabbed her pen and pretending to be focused
"Hey irene don'ct tell me you're not going to the party? ", mia asked they both walked out of the class as irene was adjusting her school bag on her shoulders
" I'm not really sure", irene replied nonchalantly
"You better be sure, and if you are not sure till evening, trust me i'll come and grab you from your house to the party", mia said
By evening, the entire class seemed to be at the party
Messages,Outfit previews,Voice notes and all are going on the group chat
Irene's house
Irene, open this door!", mia shouted
"I'm busy!", irene replied
"You've been 'busy' for one hour!", mia said
Irene sighed and opened the door just enough for mia to squeeze in.
Clothes were everywhere on the bed, on the chair, even on the floor.
Mia gasped. "This is a crime scene."
"I don't know what to wear," Irene groaned, dropping onto her bed.
Mia walked straight to the pile and started picking things up like she owned the place.
"Relax. That's why i'm here.", mia said
Within seconds, they had turned the room into a full styling studio.
Music playing and searching for cloths"This one!" irene held up a black outfit, "Too serious," mia said.
"This one?" Irene asked, holding up another.
"Too big" , mia said
Irene flopped back dramatically. "Then what do you want from me?"
Mia pause then she smiled slowly .
"hmm"mia hmmed pointing a red dress
"No.", irene shakes her head
"Yes.", mia said
" I can't wear this, the dress is too short and tight", irene complained
"This is not short irene, this is a normal dress, this is what people wears to party we are not in 90s do know... ", mia said before irene cut in" Enough, okay! ", she finally collect the dress from her
