"Everything alright, Chris? You look like you didn't sleep at all," Mia says.
She woke up at her usual time, fresh as a rose and completely unaware of the chaos from the night before.
"Y-Yeah, I just didn't sleep well, that's all…" he mutters.
He drags himself along the road to Ordrienne High, barely keeping up with Mia's already slow pace.
After walking Zaira home, he couldn't fall asleep again and spent the whole night thinking about her in not-so-innocent ways.
He would've gladly stayed home and slept, but he knows he can't.
Mia suddenly stops. Her school bag slips from her hand, and she starts trembling the moment Zaira steps in front of them.
"W-What do you want from me now?!" Mia growls. "I thought I made myself clear — I never want to see you again!"
Zaira lowers her gaze.
"M-Mia, I… I'm here to ask for your forgiveness."
"F-Forgiveness…? For what, exactly?"
As much as Mia tries to look serious and furious, her heart is racing like never before.
