"Today, Elysia went somewhere else, so I came quickly"
(Cecelia… she is too kind)
(With her beauty, how could I possibly refuse her request?) Just standing next to her made it hard to say no.
"Alright," I said with a small smile. "But let me take a quick shower first at my dorm."
She nodded, a gentle smile on her face.
"Sure. I'll walk with you to the academy gate."
"Okay," I replied.
And just like that, the two of us started walking together—side by side under the fading morning.
Neither of us said much, but the silence was comfortable. There was a soft breeze, and the campus felt peaceful. Every now and then, I glanced at her from the corner of my eye, wondering if this quiet moment was real.
It felt... nice. Almost too nice.
At the academy gate, Cecelia stood beneath the shadow of the tall stone archway, she crossed her arm as she waited.
She looked effortlessly elegant, as if the breeze itself adjusted around her presence.
Naturally, she caught attention.
