Eve and Aisha walked together as they were on their way to school. Aisha kept talking and talking as Eve stayed silent and only nodded at what she said.
"So I heard we're going to have a new male student in our class! Aren't you excited? I wonder what he's like~!" Aisha said as she hopped next to Eve happily. Eve's expression never changed while Aisha was as cheerful as always. People called her the Ice queen because she has no emotions, or so she says.
"Aisha! Eve!" They turned around and saw Elesis waving at them as she ran to them along with Ara and Rena. Then they started to walk to school together while talking about the new student and their own crushes.
The girls got to school and headed to their class, noticing the boys haven't arrived yet.
"They're late again huh?" Ara said and everyone nodded. Then Elsword came in, followed by Raven and Chung. They sat down at their desk and Elesis walked up to her younger brother before hitting his head.
"Ow! What was that fo-"
"I told you to wake up earlier and be late for class again!" Elsword pouted and rubbed his head where his sister hit him. Aisha sighed at the sight of him getting scolded once again by his sister.
"Stupid Eldork…" the others laughed at him, except Eve, as he got hit by his sister after scolding him almost every day and still not listening.
The door opened and their teacher walked in as everyone returned to their own seat. "So class, there's a new student joining us this year. Be nice to each other okay?" Everyone nodded and looked at the door as it went open. There was a white haired boy with a hint of lavender, wearing a cat hoodie which made it unable to see his face but only his appearance was enough to make the girls squeal in the class.
"Silence! Introduce yourself." Camilla said and the students immediately shut up. The white haired boy pushed his hoodie back and revealed his handsome face. His eyes were purple and had a purple mark at his left eye which went down to his cheek. He looked at the class with a straight face and noticed Eve staring at him also. Their eyes met and he smirked at her which made her heart race out of nowhere.
"My name is Add. Nice to meet y'all." He said and grinned, making girls squeal again.
"Add, you can sit next to Eve." Camilla pointed at the white silver haired girl. Eve's expression never changed even though Add walked up to her and sat next to her. She ignored him but her feelings inside said something else.
The bell rang after an hour of two and it was lunch break. The girls sat together while the guys did the same. "How's it going with your crush, Aisha~?" Elesis asked her and everyone turned their head at Aisha.
"W-well…just like a-always. He's a pain in the ass!" She yelled and took a bite from her sandwich.
"I'm not a pain in the ass! You stupid magician!" They heard him yell back and held Aisha down who stood up, wanting to give him a beating.
"What about you two?" Eve asked and ate her sandwich also. "Fine I guess." They both said and giggled at each other.
"What about you, Eve? We noticed that Add staring at you so often and not even caring about other girls aside from you. What's going on between you two? Do you like him?" Rena asked and the other three nodded along.
"There's nothing going on between us."
"But do you like him? Not the normal like but the special like." Ara asked and Eve looked back at them.
"Well, I do have this weird feeling whenever I see him…"
The girls gasped and smiled brightly. "So you do like him! Love at first sight!" Elesis shouted, making others look at her like she was insane.
"Who likes who?" Elsword asked as the boys approached the girls.
"Eve told us she li-" Elesis wasn't able to finish her sentence as Add appeared out of nowhere and cut her off.
"Eve likes someone? Impossible! Who would even love someone so cold and emotionless like her? You're just a machine!" he laughed as others were furious about him talking about their friend like that. Eve felt a sharp pain at her chest right after he said that about her. She stood up and faced him as she raised her hand before bringing it back down. She slapped him hard across his cheek which made him stumble backwards a little.
"Why you little bi-" He stopped midway as he looked up at her. She was crying. Before anyone could do anything, she dashed out the classroom and ran to the rooftop.
"Moby. Remy." She said softly and touched the blue marks on her cheek. Her drones speeded towards her and nuzzled close to her, trying to comfort her as they noticed she was crying. "Thank you." She said and laughed softly as she hugged her two precious drones who whirred happily in return. Soon the girls found her and hugged her tightly, comforting her also as they didn't bother to go to class when their friend was in a state like this. They decided to sleep over at Ara's place and headed to her house.
The boys noticed the empty seats and bags which weren't there anymore and sighed, slightly staring at Add which made him uncomfortable. He soon stood up as he wore his hoodie and left the classroom without saying anything. He didn't feel like doing anything and headed back home while rubbing his cheek which was still red. She sure looked small and fragile but damn, she could slap hard. Something about her attracted him and he shouldn't even care about her feelings but he did feel guilty of what he said and even made her cry. Add thought she wouldn't even be able to feel anything so her crying surprised him. He chuckled softly but then laughed maniacally while walking down the street.
"Guilty? Ha! She's so fucking interesting! Eve…I'm coming for you!" He grinned widely as his left eye started glowing purple faintly and kept walking, not caring about the weird and terrifying glares he got from others which he passed by.
Meanwhile at Ara's place…
"I can't believe what he actually said to you!" "He looks so handsome and everything but he's so cold and heartless! " the girls said while eating some snacks. Eve stayed silent and looked down at her tea as she saw her reflection. Emotionless. Just a machine. His words rang through her mind and her heart ached again.
"More importantly…what did he even call you? A machine?" They all sighed and kept eating. Aisha pouted at the gloomy faces and jumped up to her feet.
"Let's practice for the dance contest tomorrow!" everyone looked at her, not even knowing what she was talking about.
"Dance contest?" Rena asked and Aisha nodded. "Didn't you guys see the poster in the hallway? There's a dance contest at school! And I thought maybe it would take our minds of this…" The girls nodded at her idea and looked over at Eve, who didn't say anything about it yet.
"What do you think, Eve?" Eve looked at the others as they smiled at her. "I don't mind." She said and Aisha cheered.
Soon they started discussing which song they should pick and how they would practice for the dance. "But Aisha, when is the big day?" Ara asked and everyone turned their head to her. Aisha smiled nervously.
"N-next week…" the girls looked at each other before they realized what she said.
"Ehhhhh?!" they all yelled in unison. Elesis grabbed a pillow and threw it at Aisha but she dodged it and the pillow hit Ara instead, knocking her backwards. She sat back up and threw the pillow back at Elesis but hit Rena instead.
"Pillow fight!" they yelled and pillows started to fly across the spacious room. Much to their surprise, Eve participated also. She was happy she had friends like them., who made her forget the pain she had a while ago.
