Chapter 20: So That's Zevian Rook
The next morning, Seraphina walked into the dining room and immediately became suspicious.Her younger sister was smiling."Morning."Seraphina stopped."What?"Lyra Sinclair blinked innocently."What do you mean?""Why are you smiling?""I'm happy.""Stop."Lyra's smile widened.At eighteen, Lyra was three years younger than Seraphina and almost her complete opposite. Where Seraphina was usually cold and composed, Lyra possessed enough curiosity for both of them.Especially when something interesting appeared."So..."Lyra took a sip of juice."Zevian Rook."Seraphina's fork stopped."How do you know his name?""You said it.""When?""Yesterday.""I did not."Lyra lowered her voice dramatically."'Zevian!'"Seraphina stared."You were throwing a pillow.""..."Lyra grinned."Is he your boyfriend?""No.""Do you like him?""No.""Does he like you?"Seraphina went silent.Lyra slowly winced."Ouch.""Eat your breakfast.""So he doesn't?""Lyra.""I want to meet him.""No.""Why?""Beca
Chapter 19: My Treat
Seraphina Sinclair had a problem."This one?""No."She looked at herself in the mirror.Too formal.She changed.Ten minutes later, she stood before the mirror again."This one?"Maybe.She turned slightly.No.Too obvious.Another change.A voice suddenly came from the doorway."Are you going somewhere important?"Seraphina froze.A younger girl stood there, leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed.She had similar dark hair and delicate features, though the mischievous amusement in her eyes was completely different from Seraphina's usual cold elegance.Seraphina frowned."Don't you knock?""The door was open.""Get out."Her younger sister didn't move.Instead, she looked toward the discarded clothes on the bed.One outfit.Two.Three.Her eyebrows slowly rose."Is this a date?""No."The answer came too quickly.Interesting."Then why have you changed three times?""I haven't."Her sister pointed."Evidence."Seraphina looked at the clothes."...I couldn't decide what t
Chapter 18: Who's Jealous?
"This is better than short reels."Miles muttered under his breath."What is?"Elara looked at him."Nothing."Miles immediately lowered his head and continued eating.He valued his life.Across the cafeteria, Seraphina was still pretending to listen to Leon Mercer.Pretending being the important word.Leon was handsome, wealthy, well-dressed, and came from a respectable family in Veycrest.Normally, he had no trouble holding a woman's attention.Unfortunately, Seraphina's attention was currently sitting three tables away.With Zevian.And Elara."So I told my father we should stay another week, but..."Leon continued speaking.Seraphina nodded occasionally.Her eyes wandered again.Elara was laughing.Zevian said something.Elara kicked him beneath the table.Zevian stole something from her plate.Seraphina's fingers tightened around her fork.'Why is she letting him do that?'She paused.'Why do I care?'This was strategy.She was supposed to make Zevian jealous.That was all.Serap
Chapter 17: Basic?
Sunday morning.After spending the night at Willowbrook Children's Home, Zevian finally began his trip back to Auremont University.He could have returned Saturday evening, but Aunt Martha had refused to let him leave.According to her, visiting after several weeks and disappearing before breakfast was "ungrateful behavior."The children had agreed.Very loudly.So Zevian had slept in one of Willowbrook's spare rooms, eaten breakfast with everyone the following morning, and only escaped after promising to visit again soon.Now, he leisurely rode his electric bicycle through the familiar streets of Veycrest.The morning air was cool, traffic was light, and Auremont wasn't particularly far.Zevian wasn't in a hurry.His phone vibrated.A message from Martha.[The Foundation called again. They're sending representatives next week.]Zevian smiled.[Good.][And thank you for fixing the faucet.][That was harder than fixing the fence.][Come more often and you'll get plenty of practice.]Ze
Chapter 16: Willowbrook
"You're taking the bicycle?"Miles stood at the dormitory entrance, staring at Zevian."Yeah.""You own a motorcycle.""We've discussed this.""A thirty-five-thousand-dollar motorcycle.""Willowbrook isn't far."Miles pointed at the Voltis E3."And where did you even get this thing?""Scholarship benefit.""What kind of scholarship gives out electric bicycles?"Zevian pulled out his phone and showed him an email.Aster Educational Foundation - Student Mobility Assistance ProgramThe program provided selected scholarship students with transportation support depending on individual circumstances. Benefits ranged from public transportation allowances to bicycles and electric bicycles.Zevian had apparently qualified.Miles read everything twice."Why does being smart keep giving you free stuff?""Academic excellence."Miles handed the phone back."I hate smart people.""Study harder.""I hate you too."Zevian grinned and rode away.The explanation was convenient because it was also compl
Chapter 15: 10 Days
Seraphina walked around the electric bicycle once.Then twice.She looked at Zevian."You won a thirty-five-thousand-dollar motorcycle yesterday.""Yes.""And you're riding this?""Yes.""Why?""Free."Seraphina stared at him."The motorcycle was also free."Zevian paused.He looked at the bicycle.Then toward the parking area where his Valkyr V9R sat."...Good point.""THANK YOU!"Miles raised both hands toward the sky."I've been telling him that!"Zevian shrugged."This is more convenient."Seraphina finally couldn't hold it anymore.She laughed.Not the elegant little laugh she normally showed people, but a genuine laugh that made several nearby students stare.Zevian frowned."It's a good bike."That only made her laugh harder.Her phone suddenly vibrated.Seraphina took it out.Love Box[DAY TEN.][Last chance, Sinclair.][Midnight and your nerd officially breaks the record.]Her smile slowly faded.Day Ten.She had forgotten.For several minutes, while laughing with Zevian, Ser
