Chapter 10

Shade went to his condo tiredly. With him is a two paper bags which contain a blue dress and a smartphone. He lied down on his couch and rest. Shade called his manager and asked him to come by. The latter complied and for just about ten minutes, he was already ringing the doorbell. Shade unlocked the door and shove to the manager the paper bag with the dress.

"What's this?"

"Can you deliver that to Rein for me? Tell her we're even. Thanks." Shade said deadpanned and close the door right after. The manager didn't get a chance to reply. He scratched his head and headed to Rein's house.

Shade return to his couch and open his tv. He change the channels but none caught his interest. His eyes bore to the paper bag left and grab the phone inside. He inserted it a sim card and exchange number with his phone. He smirk at himself seeing his number as the first entry in the new phone. Before returning it in the paper bag, he downloaded a few apps that he thinks necessary.

"Wait, is this enough to show my gratitude? Oh well. She's easy to please anyway." Shade talk to himself unaware about the smile creeping in his face.

Fine and Rein meet at the ice cream parlor and order the same flavor as before. They walked happily to the park as they lick their ice cream and went to a bench to sit in.

"So Fine, about the part-time job, I told my manager about you and she agreed."

"Yay! Thanks Rein. Really, it's a great help!"

"It's nothing~ You can ask me for help anytime. Ah, by the way, I bought you something." Rein gave a paper bag to Fine. The latter peak at the content and saw a light pink fabric.

"Can I see it?" Rein nodded. Fine gasped as she realized it was an expensive looking dress. The dress is simple but elegant and flows below the knee.

"Waah, it's beautiful. Thank you Rein!"

"I'm glad you like it!"

"Ah! I also brought something for you." Fine exclaimed as she grab a small box inside her pocket and give it to Rein. The latter's eyes shined as a pair of sparkling turquoise earrings was revealed after opening the box.

"Fine, this is really beautiful and sparkly! Did you make this? Thank you very much!" Rein said as she tried on the pair of earrings and show it to her friend.

"Hehe, yeah. I'm glad I pick that color. It looks good on you!" Fine answered sheepishly. Both girls giggle and started a conversation about random things. It was already late when both decided to go home.

Rein was surprised when her mother gave her a paper bag which the latter explained it was from Shade. 'That was fast.' is the only thing she thought. As promised, it was really a blue dress from Maxim's. She wore it and twirled in front of her mirror.

"A perfect pair for my new earrings." She said giggling.

Monday came, Fine went to her school still sleepy. She walks to her seat and mumble a 'good morning' to her seatmate Leone.

"Good morning Fine! You don't look too well today. Did you sleep late last night?" Leone said looking at Fine who slump her face in the table.

"Yeah. I didn't notice the time as I was making more earrings."

"You should take care of yourself more or you'll get sick." Fine look at her worried friend and smile in response.

"Oi, brat." Hearing the voice of her hated person, Fine slump back her head on the table completely ignoring him. The guy went to her and started tugging on her hair which annoyed her more and decided to face him. Before she could even speak, Shade shove a paper bag in her face. Fine grab the bag and glared at him.

"What is this?"

"Use your eyes, idiot." Fine look inside the paper bag and gaped to see a smartphone inside.

"O-oi, why are you giving me this?"

"It's… a thank you gift." Shade mumbled under his breath.

"WHAT?!" Fine heard him but was just surprise at what he had said. Their classmates were now looking at them wondering what was going on.

"Don't make me repeat. It's embarrassing." Shade walked out of the room leaving a still stunned Fine. Leone snatch the bag from Fine and gasped.

"A phone! Isn't this the latest model?! Why did he give this to you?!" Upon hearing this, their classmates run to their direction and start interrogating.

"Ehhh? Why only you? You're so lucky."

"Yeah, so lucky~ I'm so jealous!"

"Are you dating him?" All went silent waiting for her to answer. Fine realizing what was happening, she answered, "I'm not! We're nothing like that okay?"

"Eeeehhh? Are you sure?"

"Of course I am! Who would want to date him anyway right? In fact, it's the total opposite!"

"Then why did he gave you a phone?"

"It's because I help him before… that's why!" Fine grab the phone from Leone and dashed towards the door. She looked around and saw his figure not so far and run to him.

"Hey! Wait!" Shade, recognizing the voice, stop and turn around.

"I… I can't accept this." Fine said while handing the phone to him. Shade stared at the phone.

"You already take it so it's yours."

"I-Isn't this too much for a thank you?"

"No it's not... Oh, I forgot you're a poor girl. I change my mind. I do think now that it is too much. Its cost might be higher than your life value. But don't worry, I won't ask payment for the difference." Shade said feigning concern.

"Oh yeah? Thank you very much for not asking for any payment. Since its value is higher than my life, I might as well sell this and offer the money to the shrine so that my wish for you to be sent in hell will be granted." Fine retorted in gritted teeth. She also entertain the idea of smashing the phone in his face but on the second thought she won't be able to sell it if it is already broken so, no.

"Alright. If that happen though, don't blame me for dragging you along." A menacing look escape from Shade's face but Fine keep her cool.

"Well, it's okay for me. God will sent an angel for me anyways and bring me back to heaven for I don't really belong in hell." Fine replied with her hands clasped with each other, pretending to be holy and walked back to their classroom. Shade stood there in disbelief.

"What is she? A saint?" He chuckled following her to the classroom as the bell rang, signaling the class will start soon.

"Boooooriiiiiiiiinnnnngggg." Rein muttered as her eyes wandered outside the window. She looked below and see boys playing soccer in the field under P.E. class. One guy with brown hair caught her attention though.

'Ehh? Is it who I think it is? Maybe…' she thought but interrupted when her homeroom teacher called her to read a line in the book which she complied.

Soon enough, the bell ring signifying break time. Rein walked out their classroom and headed to the field but found no one. 'Maybe they're already in the locker room.' She thought and walk towards the place but stop midway.

"What am I doing? It's not like something will happen if I confirm it was him." Rein turn around and went to the opposite direction.

Rein walked aimlessly in the hallway. She feels really lonely but doesn't know how to comfort herself. As she was about to turn in a corner, she bumped into someone thinking 'not again'. She wait for her butt to meet the floor but a hand refrained her from falling.

"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Rein looked at the person holding her. Her aquamarine eyes met with concern red ones.

"B-Bright!" Rein exclaimed not believing he's already in front of her. Her spirit lift up and gloomy no more.

"Hi Rein. I never thought we'll meet again like this." Bright chuckled.

"Y-yeah. Me too. So… it is your P.E. today?" Rein said eyeing on the uniform he's wearing.

"Yup. We played soccer earlier." Rein's eyes widen but not enough to notice by the guy. 'So it was really him after all.' She thought happily.

"How nice. P.E. on women only consist badminton and volleyball. I wish I could play soccer too."

"Why not? You can play with us every afternoon. Just come to the field." Rein's eyes sparkled. 'Finally! Something I can look forward to at school!'

"Oi, Bright! Why didn't you tell us you are hanging out with Rein?" Jemin popped out from behind of the boy.

"Yeah! Wait, is she the girl you are talking about before?" Yato said wrapping his hand around Bright's shoulder.

"Hey, hey. You guys are so embarrassing. Sorry Rein. These two really are rude so don't let them get you."

"Oi! You're making us look like the bad guy!" the two said in unison.

"It's alright. I think they were funny though." Rein giggled.

"You do? Well, there's nothing I can do about it." Bright smiled.

"Uhm, can I hang out with you guys? You see, I don't really have someone whom I can talk to in this school." Rein asked blushing.

"Yeah! Of course!" Jemin and Yato said, their eyes are shimmering. Bright sweatdrop at the action of the two. Rein just giggled at them. At last, people she can be with at school.
