The School
"Emma, where's Edgar?"
"Don't ask me. Don't mind him. He is a popular boy at this school so don't be surprised he instantly disappears as soon as an eye winks"
"Yesterday he was ditching. Well, we'll just meet Miss Reinar to ask her about Leon" Ella asked.
"Stop finding out about your beloved man, El"
"Why?"
"Because soon the lesson will begin. I hope your brain is a lesson, not just Leon's sister"
"You just calm down. But Edgar hasn't come yet. How'this?"
"I don't care. Byeh!!"
Emma breezed away from Ella and into her class. Guess what Emma and Edgar are doing, right? They always fight. And Ella was in charge of reconciling them.
"Where did that little boy go? Just a cute face. But the behavior makes me want to vomit. Huh!!" Ella's upset that she'll be sitting alone again today.
Not long after that the one he regretted appeared with a sinless face and his narrowed eyes were still slightly red.
"Good morning, El"
"It also looks like you, Ed"
"You miss me?"
"Hohoho... Not me of course. But Miss Anna. Look" Point Ella at someone behind Edgar.
Not yet Edgar turned to look at his teacher, a cry first reached his ears.
"Young Master Dhawn.....Sit down at your place or leave my class. I don't mind giving you subpar grades" Miss Anna glared from the teacher's desk.
Without being told I actually want to sit down. Edgar was upset in his heart
Ella just laughed softly watching her best friend being bullied by the school's prettiest teacher.
"Ed, your current face is really sour like a young mango, hahaha" whispered Ella softly as Edgar was already sitting down.
"Thankfully beautiful. Otherwise, maybe I'll throw it with ba..."
"With what will hayo be?" ask Ella jahil
"I mean by flowers" replied Edgar clumsily scratching his head.
With stones if necessary. Bathin Edgar's.
"But you're prettier than Miss Anna" Ella gossiped again.
"Yes I know. I'm even prettier than Princess Elsa you used to watch as a kid. You better listen to his explanation than talk to me. Wake me up when the lesson is over"
The longest sentence I've ever heard of him.
Ella glared in disbelief at the sight of Edgar having started putting books in front of her and pretending to read them when in reality she closed her eyes.
And that's how it is every day. The handsome but also beautiful face was always looking down hiding behind the textbooks. His dark irises seemed embarrassed to show themselves. But somehow he's never been caught snoring.
And the morning lesson ended peacefully. The bells of rest rang loudly waking the sleepyhead. With a quick step, he exited the classroom leaving a question mark on Ella.
Is there anything Ed's hiding? In a class like a sleeping prince but outside the class like a warlord.
But then Ella dismissed all her suspicions. Maybe Ed had something important to do. Now he just needs to take Emma to the cafeteria.

"Oh. hay Miss Reinar" Sapa Ella once saw that there was someone beside Emma.
"Hay is Miss Simmons too. Just call me Renay. Maybe I'll just call you Ella. Can I come with you to the cafeteria" Renay asked for the two's approval.
Why is Emma with Renay?
"May" Emma replied seeing Ella still dumb.
"I'm sorry if my presence makes you uncomfortable. Moreover, there are still rumors circulating"
"Oh it's okay. This friend of mine just wants to know about her brother's news from you so it tells me to get close to you" Emma said without sin.
Oh gosh. Emma this is embarrassing me. Does he have to be that honest?. Ella smiled clumsyly.
"Sister Leon is fine as is Miss Erine" Renay said after a moment of silence.
"Huffhh.. Mercifully. Hopefully Dad can expand his business so they come back as soon as possible". Ella's prayer is sincere.
"Are they not telling you?" renay asked in the end for being too curious.
"Then they left until today, it has been a month and they have not given me any news at all. It seems they're starting to forget me"
"You must not be discouraged. I also know from Papa. Leon didn't tell me directly"
It turns out he wasn't told by Leon either. Ella
"Sit here and continue your conversation. I'll take our lunch" Emma bargained.
"Thank you" they both said at the same time.
"Why aren't you being told, too?" ask Ella shortly after Emma leaves.
"Maybe because I'm a fake fiancee?"
"Huh?"
"Stttt... Do you think Leon's brother likes me? In his heart was another figure"
Another figure? Did i? But it's impossible. Ella
"really? How'd you know that?"
"Before the engagement was held. I suspect she may have fallen in love with one of the girls at her school. And I'm also pretty self-conscious because I'm 13 and she's 18"
So it's not me. Ella looks a little sad.
"I hope she falls in love with you" Ella said, lying to her aching feelings about Leon's love for another girl.
"Haha. I'll just amen it. But where do you live now, Ella?"
" In my house" Ella replied casually.
"At Simmons' residence? But as far as I was concerned it was already for sale" Renay looked at Ella in surprise.
Ella smiled meaningfully then said "Not there but in my mother's house. The Cz housing. It's a little secluded"
"You live alone?"
"Of course with Emma and the rest of the family. Roberto's family"
"Cz housing yes... Means it might be close to aunt Marie's house"
"Let's repeat the name of the aunt you mentioned earlier" Ella tried to confirm the name that made her heart shake.
"Aunt Marie Willem"
"Oh.. Holy jeez!! You know Mommy?"
"Huh Mommy? Is that true? Aunt Marie Willem is your Mommy? Oh my goodness, the world is so narrow"
"What did I miss? And this is your food". Emma put the food tray on both of them.
"I..I..That's.. Renay knows Mommy"
"But how can it?" Emma asked with a probing look.
"I was 6 years old then. We were robbed on a deserted road near Cz's estate. I was hit by broken glass because the robber broke the glass of our car. Luckily aunt Marie passed by and gave us a ride and took us to her house. But you weren't there at the time"
"It seemed like I was outside the house. I don't know. I forgot all my memories from the age of 7. If only I was home then maybe we could have been best friends since that day" Ella said
"It can be" Renay said.
"Yayayaa... Just ignore me. Think of me as the wind" Emma's jealousy towards her two best friends was because of their familiarity when they had just met.
Yep! We were also familiar when we first met. Because Ella never chose friends. He has a sincere heart. Bathin Emma's
And they spent the lunch that time accompanied by a laugh ignoring the pair of eyes that had just kept watching the three of them.

Who was the man who was watching Ella and her two best friends???
