An Extra’s POV

Chapter 99

Two students stood in their respective chairs and respective desks within the expansive Library.

One would expect this haven of silence to remain that way, especially since only two people occupied it.

However…

"N-no! You misunderstood—!"

"Since when did you two start… ahh, never mind. You're both in Beta Class, so I should have already known."

"Hey, relax…"

"I thought you were a loner and all, but I didn't know you had such friends. Noah… Trisha."

"No, Alicia, I—!"

"So you were such a ladies man and I had no idea. What a—"

"ALICIA!"

Rey's voice was so loud in Alicia's ears that it startled her to another degree.

The book she held flew out of her hands, falling to the floor… right beside Rey's feet.

Rey was right in front of her now, causing her heart to race to an extreme degree.

Alicia had never heard him shout that loud before.

Even his current expression… how he creased his brows and stood so imposingly in front of her… she had never seen this side of him before.

"Alicia…" Rey's voice grew softer.

How he had managed to close his distance from where he sat before was a mystery to her, but all she knew was that he was close.

"I'm sorry I ditched you like that. I went with Noah to get something, and I didn't want things to be awkward for you since we already had an earlier arrangement."

Rey wasn't particularly lying, but he conveniently left out the part where he forgot about her entirely.

"So it wasn't awkward for Trisha to tag along? I guess it's fine for you three since you're in the Be—"

"Trisha didn't come with us."

"E-eh…?"

"It was just Noah and me."

"A-ah…?"

"I only saw Trisha once we met at the rendezvous spot. She was showing me her sword, since I have an… interest in it. That's all."

"You… like swords?" Alicia's soft and curious tone told Rey that she was no longer upset.

Still, he knew he wasn't out of the woods yet.
