" Chapter 15 - Karaoke Night "

"Congratulations everyone, for being top one!!!" Our adviser congratulate us. We cheered happily and loudly, still can't move on from yesterday's event.

"Miss! Miss! Let's celebrate!!!" Cabel suggested, standing on his table.

"I'm afraid I can't join with you, I pretty busy today..." She sighed.

They all awed in disappointment, and sat down to their seats sadly.

"But," Our adviser added, "I'll just treat you, enjoy your celebration, you all deserved it."

They beamed and ran towards her, attacking her to a hug. I laughed at them. Yep! All our hard work has all paid off.

At lunch, I walked with my friends to the cafeteria and buy some food. As we walked towards our table, my classmates suddenly ran up to me and said, "Let's go to the arcade!!"

I was surprised at their suggestion that I immediately agreed with them, "Eh... Oh, uhm... S-sure..."

They cheered and ran back happily to their table. I sighed and sat on our table beside Helena.

"Oh, by the way Athy, where were you yesterday?" Agnis asked popping the cherry in to he mouth.

I flinched remembering what happened yesterday then I realized something.

I didn't gave back his hoodie!!!

I almost dropped my spoon and lied to them, "Erm.. I-I just went home..."

They looked at me suspiciously and I just sat stiffly, smiling at them awkwardly. Then they looked away and continued to eat their food, I sighed in relief and ate mine too.

-

I went back to my room, walking towards my chair and opened my bag, finding Lucas' hoodie.

"What are you looking for?" By the annoyed tone I already know who it is.

"I forgot to give back your hoodie!" I said, panicky.

"Oh, that? It's yours now... I have tons of hoodies in my room," He replied while sipping his box of orange juice.

I looked at him in confusion and he just tilted his head.

"Are you sure? That might be your favorite hoodie?" I asked.

He just shrugged and said, "I don't have any favorites, just keep it," Then he walked away, walking towards Kiel.

-

They said, we're going to an arcade.... Then what's this?!

I am now currently sitting on a couch, looking dumbfounded ever since we arrived here, at a karaoke.

"Athy, sing!!!" Rina cheered looking drunk.

Hey, hey, hey! We're just high schoolers here!! Why are you all drinking?!

I looked at them in horror, while declining their offer.

I wanna go home!!!!

Okay Athy, just keep calm all you need is a glass of water and you'll be alright. I looked at the table finding a glass of water on a tray. I immediately took it and drank it in one gulp, but...

Oh flip...

Lucas' Perspective:

I sighed as I looked at them sing and dance like crazy monkeys.

I scoffed, what a bunch of idiots.

I was looking for a blonde haired girl and when I saw her, I almost choked on my drink. She looked so surprised! I suppose, they tricked her on to something.

Cabel kept on pushing the microphone on my face telling me to sing. But no, I don't want to sing with my beautiful voice just for stupid kids like you!!

I walked away from their seat and walked towards Sia. But then I stopped when she took a glass and drank it in one gulp.

What the heck did you just drink?

After that she looked so dizzy and about to fall on the table, I immediately caught her head, almost hitting the table.

"Are you an idiot?" I muttered and leaned her back to the couch.

After an hour, they're still kept on and on singing nonsense. I sighed in annoyance. Kiel suddenly walked towards us and asked, "What happened to her?"

"Passed out..." I replied, brushing her bangs off her face, "Stupid girl, knowing that she can't drink but still do it."

Kiel laughed and looked at Sia.

Oh, I know that look...

We're in a different dimension and you still never changed whitey. I stood up and said, "I should carry her home."

"No, I'll just carry her, since I knew where she lives," Kiel suddenly said.

What the--

"Mmm..." Sia mumbled and woke up, she's still looked drunk.

"Sia? Let's go home now," I crouched in front of her, ignoring Kiel.

"No~ I still want to play!!" She whined.

"Athy let's go now, your dad must be worried," Said Mr. Perfect.

Dude, she's mine, back off will ya!!

I stood up in front of Kiel, "Sorry to disturbed you from your fun, but I'll be taking her back."

"Oh, no. I'm kinda bored right now so I want to go home," He smiled.

What a stubborn kid....

We simultaneously turned towards Sia, then suddenly Sia was nowhere to be found.

"Wow... Thanks for disturbing me man..." I patted his shoulders, rolling my eyes in annoyance and ran outside.

As I got outside, I immediately saw Sia talking to a guy.

What are you doing?!

I sighed annoyingly and ran towards her, grabbing her arm and walk away from that jerk.

"Here.. Hold this.." I said, giving her bag to her.

"Are you angry?" She pouted.

Oh, gosh... You cute little...

I sighed and caress her face with both hands, "I'm not angry..." I let go and held out my hand to her, "Let's go home."

She beamed and held my hand happily. We walked side by side towards her house.

"You know, Lucas...." She muttered, I just hummed in response.

"I always had scary and weird dreams every night...." She continued, I raised my eyebrow at her, "Is that so...."

She held my hand tightly and said, "And every dream I dreamed... You were there..."

I stopped and turned to her, "What?"

"There was a palace burning.... And we were running deeply to the woods... I don't know why but.... Is there something that I had to know....?" She mumbled.

She's regaining her memories...

I still looked at her silly face, I can't help myself wanting to hug her and said, "Soon... Very soon... You'll know it..."

"My nose!!" She yelled, but I still don't care, she's beginning to remember and I'm happy yet nervous with that.

I let go of her and ruffled her hair, "Drama queen." She gave me a glare and start smacking me.

"Hey! Stop it!! Even if you're drunk you still have your super strength on," I said, defending myself.

"You meanie!" She whined then she stopped.

I caressed her hair and asked, "You sure you will not remember what happened today?"

"The what?" She asked looking sleepy.

I held her face very softly, "This..."
