His Loss, Cassian's Girl — The Missing Pencil Case

I told you not to bother. Why did you- Before he could finish, Cassian walked past us. He casually took the breakfast from my hand and opened it to look inside. Then he walked straight into the classroom.

Adrian's hand remained frozen in the air. Soleta stood beside him, her smile stiffening. She gently tugged on Adrian's sleeve, but Adrian only looked at me. So this was for him? Cassian asked me to bring it. He let out a cold laugh, then he walked away. He didn't even wait for Solista. A loud sound came from the classroom,

the sound of a chair being kicked over. I walked to my seat in the front row. I opened my book and didn't look back, but I couldn't focus on a single word. That entire day I kept hearing and Celista interacting. Celista asked him questions,

and he would quietly explain them. Celista laughed and said something, and he always responded. I lowered my head to my book.

Deep down, I knew Adrian O'Brien could never like me. His anger only came from being used to having me around, but being used to someone was not the same with liking them. After class, I quickly packed my things,

wanting to leave as soon as possible. Leela. I stopped. What's wrong with you lately?

Do you really have to treat me like this? I have something to do. I stayed in the library until sunset, completely lost in my thoughts. I stayed until the librarian announced closing time, then packed my things and

When I reached the school gate, I suddenly realized my pencil case was missing.
