Despite Sebastian's cleverness, Halora thought of a better plan. She knew he won't leave if he won't get anything he wanted to hear from her.
She smiled shortly, bowed her head and she convinced him to talk with her outside and away from her classmates.
"I'll tell you those words but please, not here!" she scowled, stomped her right foot in shame.
"Alright, just make it sure or I'll skip my next class if you won't." he told her coldly.
Before she left, Halora looked behind at Jasmine who looked bush with Roy. She sighed, pouted her lips as she quickly grabbed Sebastian out from the room with a lot of eyes.
As they walked silently to the hallway, Halora noticed that there was an empty room two classrooms apart, she quickly opened the door and let Sebastian followed inside.
It was strange that it was empty during classes. But the classroom was temporarily closed because of the toilet leakage. And one of the students requested to get it better before she enter the room again.
"Hmm, why did you brought me to an empty room, Halora? Don't you know that is one of a boyfriend supposed tactic?"
She shook her head in amusement, looked away from his tantalizing eyes and pretended to be just a pretty, innocent girl.
"I didn't know a– about it! And if y– you are asking me why I brought you here, i– it is because I don't want people to see me with you."
Sebastian secretly giggled, but he gasped, stepped closer to Halora, pulled her hands and pinned her down to the wall.
It surprised her. Her heart skipped a bit and she couldn't even breath some air. Her knees trembled but her face suddenly turned scarlet.
He smirked, caressed her hair while he threw deep, romantic stares. "Just tell me you miss me, Halora. And after that, you can go back to your room, unscathed and safe."
"S– Se– Sebastian!" she replied. "C– can you move y– your h– head a little b– bit away?"
"And why? Do you think I will do something to you, huh?"
She slightly shook her head, "I– it's g– getting hot now! I... I mean, I am not com–" She bit her lips that made him gulped and cursed to the wind because of the sensation he felt because of her innocence.
"Damn it, Halora! How many times do I have to remind you that never bite your lips like that in front of me?"
"I c– can't!" she said.
The mischievous bad boy smirked, cupped her flawless face and started at into her brown eyes. He breathed, trailed off his fingers down to her crimson angelic lips.
"Please, don't do it here, Sebastian! I... I am afraid that someone might see us!" she scoffed, swallowed greedily as she looked intently into his blue eyes.
"And why it fears you, huh? It's something usual and even my friends do it with their girlfriends." he lied. None of them either have a girlfriend except for him.
Because of alluring, jaw-dropping charisma, Halora took a deep breath, bravely opened her mouth. "I missed you so much, Sebastian!" she told him right in the face.
Her sweet voice echoed around the empty room. It made the surrounding warmer and narrower for the both of them until a long silence meddled in between and no one dared to speak a word.
His head slowly moved closer to her nose as she could even smelled the freshness of his warm breath. His neck smelled so fragrant as he used a manly, and captivating perfume.
And his hands traveled from his face, down to her neck and to her back until he gasped when he felt her small, perfect waist.
While Halora bit her lower lip, staring down to his chest, she then slowly encircled her arms around his neck that made him stiffened.
For a couple of seconds, they stayed at that sweet, intense position while looking at each other's eyes. One careless movement and his lips would touch against hers.
"I don't know if it is right now, but damn! I can't stop myself not to kiss you, Halora! If only you know what I'm feeling this moment of truth!"
She said nothing, held her breath back as she almost forgot how to inhale some air.
His deep voice and a sweet, daring kind of stare that seemed like taking off her clothes and left her naked bothered Haloa's body and soul.
She knew she will never stay young forever. And as the time goes by, her body would seek someone's touch who will genuinely touch her soul of pure intentions.
"S– Sebastian...," she murmured.
He hummed, "Hmm?" Sebastian did everything to control it but in the end, he saw himself doing such passionate thing. "I missed you like crazy too! And I don't know what I am today if I never met a kind and beautiful girl like you!"
A loud heartbeat sounded off that brought warmth to Halora. She didn't know why it felt that way but it was too good and if she had a lot of qualms in her head, she will never let go of his hands.
"This is f*cking insane and this people just came at the wrong time!"
Unfortunately, Sebastian heard two male teachers laughing and before they caught them, he quickly grabbed Halora's hand and hid inside of a cabinet with files of documents.
"Don't move, or we are doomed." he told Halora who was sitting on his lap with her eyes wide open to her surprise.

"A short reminder, your final examination is approaching. And if you want to nail it and enter into the prestigious Senior High Academies in the country, study hard and never missed the chance. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Sir!"
As their last teacher reminded everyone about the examination, Halora was looking at the ceiling. She seemed like absent–minded girl who reached on the other dimension.
"See you all tomorrow! Keep safe and don't forget to study hard!" Mr. Lou said before he dismissed the class.
As quick as the hare, everyone packed their things and quickly left the classroom while few students remained as they needed to clean up before going home.
Halora packed her things as slow as the snail as she couldn't get rid of the awkward situation she was in earlier with Sebastian.
She gasped, rubbed the back of her head and messed up her long, ginger– red hair in despair.
"Ughh! Why did I even seated on his lap that long?"
"What? You seated on someone's lap?"
Out of blue, Jasmine appeared from behind and she knew an embarrassing thing happened to Halora. She then seated in an empty chair before her, crossed her legs as she leaned over with a suspicious smile.
"I'm sorry! Eavesdropping is not my thing but I think I heard it right earlier."
"W– what are y– you talking about? Of course, I haven't been on someone's lap!" she lied, bit her lower lip like she would always did everytime she caught off guard. "Have you done with your things? You look like getting ready with another fight."
Jasmine laughed bitterly as her innocent friend flipped over the table and changed the topic.
"Hmm about that wicked girl? Of course, I'll fight with her if they'll start it."
"Are you not going to ignore her? She's not an ordinary school girl, for your knowledge, Ms. Yu." There was a sign of warning in her voice. "You can't play a game with a strong vampire living in the modern world."
Halora sounded like an ancient woman who knew everything around her, the vicious past of the creatures that existed a thousand years ago.
And at the moment, Roy told Halora that he had a friendly date with someone else. She knew who it was but she remained silent, shut her mouth up and supported him.
After a couple of minutes, Jasmine reminded her to visit the principal's office. It would be an insult to Mrs. Lee if she won't come as the fact that she already said yes earlier.
But as soon as they stepped out from the room, a group of Sandra suddenly appeared with an grandiose entrance.
They were all smiling widely like there was a parade of crazy women in the hallway. Until they stopped right in front of Halora and Jasmine who seemed annoyed by their presence.
"Ohh, the principal's favorite is here with a new, ugly duckling assistant!" Sandra said. "You know what, I came here not to seek revenge but to show you something."
"She's right! And it will somehow change your mood and perception about someone." said Garry while mischievously played with her curly hair.
Jasmine rolled her eyes on them, touched Halora's arm as she whispered, "Come on! Let's not waste our time over this nonsense!"
Sandra heard her saying it. She gasped, pouted her lips and frowned. "Well, if you don't want to know why your beloved Sebastian can't accompany you to my mother's office, then it's quite fine with me."
She looked at her friends, raised her eyebrows, "He's with someone else, and whether you believe it or not, it's up to you, Halora." she added that brought pain to Halora's chest.
