"Bell, the more days your paintings are getting better, yeah!" said Sera who was paying attention to the results of Bella's painting.
Bella clucked her tongue, now she began to know why her paintings became interesting.
"I haven't told you yet?" Bella whispered to Sera on the sidelines of their respective painting activities - held in a hall.
"What about?" asked Sera, she felt that she had not heard the story of Bella for a long time, it was because she was busy returning home recently purchased by her brother the other day. As a result, now Sera so rarely visit Bella at her cost.
"The figure." whispered Bella as she glanced at Felix who was smiling slightly beside her, of course Sera did not see Felix's whereabouts.
"Is that guy still following you in the real world?" tanyakanya. Sera held her nape which suddenly cooled down instantly due to the feeling of fear that was doctored by herself.
"Yes, even now he is here" said Bella seriously, but Sera was getting creepy with an expression that seemed too exaggerated.
"I'm afraid, Bell." said Sera in a soft voice.
Bella patted the eel, not to mention she told him everything but Sera was already scared first.
Bella glances at Felix who began to giggle amused due to Sera's behavior.
Bella scowled at Felix and Felix started to make a sound. "You better not tell him about me. He was afraid that he might think you were weird" he said.
Bella again clucked in an unhappy answer to Felix's words. Where might Sera-her best friend-will find herself strange.
"If you don't believe me, try a story!" felix said again, as if he answered Bella's head.
"Ser, you don't be afraid. I haven't told you either" Bella said. "I now understand why my paintings are getting better and sometimes even my paintings depict very interesting places" he continued.
"Why?" Sera looked seriously at Bella. He was also curious and curious.
"Because that figure helped me paint without my knowledge."
"Ah, who are you? Wh-wh-what for? So strange!" said Sera, who made Felix again chuckle.
"What I'm saying is, he's gonna think this whole thing is weird. Gradually he will also think you are strange," muttered Felix who sounded in Bella's ear.
"Can you also read Sera's mind? That's why you guessed it?" bella asks Felix, while at the same time Sera also turns to Bella, because she believes Bella was talking.
"Who are you talking to, Bell?" sera asked, this time Sera's eyes were full of search towards Bella.
Bella shrugged her shoulders and put both her hands to her side, as if acting indifferent. Seeing that, Sera again continued her painting session while shaking her head due to Bella's behavior which she considered strange.
True said Felix, that Sera would definitely find it strange. Especially now that he was caught off guard talking alone in the eyes of Sera.
"I can read the minds of people who are close to you and around you, just as I can read your thoughts, too" Felix replied suddenly, makes Bella flabbergasted by the reality that Felix just threw.
"I also know the head of the Cakra. It's all rubbish." Felix's tone when it comes to Ark-is always turning lazy.
"Well, I'm a thumbs up for our abilities" Bella whispered to Felix.
"What did you say, Bell?" Sera looked back at Bella with a full glance.
"Ah, ng-no. I was just mumbling to myself," said Bella, unraveling a smile at Sera. They continued their painting activities.

"Other times when in public, you communicate with me through the content of your mind alone," said Felix when Bella entered his boarding room. He had just arrived after almost half a day in the campus.
"meaning?" the girl's forehead frowned deeply, not understanding Felix's intentions.
"You see, Sera heard that you like to talk to yourself. That's because he can't see me" he replied.
"Yes I know that."
"Either, if you don't want to be considered weird, you can think about what you want to talk to me about. Just think about it, without needing to say it in a voice, I can answer all of your words. Think of it as our form of communication if it's in a public place" he suggested.
Bella mangosteen as well as the spirit to answer Felix's advice. That's better-think.
"I just saw how you helped me paint. It turns out you've been indirectly painting all those pictures?" Bella put her things on a table.
"But I never thought of anything like that. Like the painting," Bella pointed to a painting that the other day made her enter another realm.
"That's it, you don't realize that your mind sometimes thinks of that place. I can read your mind, just pour everything you think in the form of a painting."
"Why am I unconscious?"
"That's because..." Felix hesitated to continue.
"Why? I want to know everything. Is there anything else I've missed?"
"I don't know for sure, which obviously may have something to do with the ritual closing your inner eye first" he said.
Bella clucked, she did not remember anything about the closing of the inner eye.
Bella walks towards the refrigerator, as thirst starts to attack her. He picked up a bottle and drank it straight from the bottle.
"Scook!" chirps Felix. Bella just chuckles at hearing it.
Then Bella sat down on the floor, next to Felix. Bella continued her question-and-answer session with Felix.
"Then, does it also have anything to do with my painting's sudden horror theme?" Bella looked seriously at Felix, but Felix did not look at her. The man's gaze was straight ahead. Somehow Bella felt if Felix had a heavy load.
"Yes, all those ghost paintings are the result of your thoughts. Maybe you've met one of them or all of them."
I don't know why Bella shuddered at hearing that. Although Felix is also not a human like himself, but at least the look and appearance of Felix is not as scary as all the paintings that depict astral figures.
Imagining having met all those figures, made Bella become shrivelled and really scared.
Suddenly Felix chuckled loudly. It seemed like he was doing it because he could read Bella's mind.
The state of silence that was created became absurd due to the sound of Felix's laughter that echoed in Bella's sense of hearing.
"Why laugh? I'm really scared!" bella said she understood now what made Felix laugh.
"You're human, you're higher than those creatures." Felix smiled, now he looked at Bella who was sitting next to him. "If they bother you, I won't let them" he continued, now their eyes meet and stare intensely at each other.
For some reason, Bella felt a breeze start to infiltrate between them, seeping into the pores of her body, but Felix's attitude and eyesight just seemed to make Bella freeze motionless. His temples began to sweat as Felix deliberately slashed the distance between them.
Now, the faces of Bella and Felix are very close, not even an inch of hands. Felix could feel Bella's nervous roar of breath and it made the corners of her lips curl.
"What do you want?" bella asked with an expression that made Felix very anxious.
Bella's eyes seemed to flicker awkwardly. Felix knew what Bella was thinking.
"Do you think I'd kiss you?" ask Felix with their distance getting closer, just a few inches.
"Nobody." Bella nodded quickly. While Felix smiled obliquely to hear Bella evade his accusations, but clearly Felix already knew the contents of the girl's mind at this time.
Without parse the proximity of the distance between them, Felix began to make a sound again.
"Still lying, still" mocked Felix softly, as his lips silenced the lips of Bella who had just been about to protest to him.
Bella's eyes widened, she was so shocked to feel her lips and Felix's lips had fused together. He was silent with a million surprises. Whereas Felix acted as if he would not do it by trying to guess the contents of Bella's head. But now, what is this?
While on the other hand, Felix enjoyed Bella's surprise. The absence of rejection from Bella makes her feel on the wind. He felt how soft Bella's lips, from the top turned to the bottom lip that was chewy and felt very sweet.
Bella blinked, feeling Felix's lips sweep over the entire surface of her lips. When Felix's tongue cradled his defense and wanted to swoop in between his lips, Bella was also aware of the situation. He pushed Felix's chest slowly.
"You really kissed me!" mumbling Bella. He held his lips wet from Felix while bowing his gaze to the floor.
"I only grant the contents of your mind," Felix replied with a slanted smile.
"I didn't think of that!" Refusing to Bella, he stood up from his seat and turned his face the other way. He was really embarrassed at this situation, maybe now his face was red like a tomato.
"Not tomatoes but apples" Felix's erratious mind-reader Bella.
"Ah... sucks! Why should I read my mind!" Bella grumbled as she fled to the bathroom.
While Felix chuckles in his place to see Bella's behavior that he considers very adorable.
