Chapter 27: ii. Walk Away

"Please wait..." Maru blushed as the class president stopped to look back at her.

He remained ever silent as she managed to catch up to him, just staring at her with his dark eyes and pitch-black hair.

What was she doing, you ask? She wanted to ask herself the same. What the hell was she doing?

How dare she ask the school prince to escort her to the dance? She must be out of her mind, clearly.

He must already have a partner for the dance. There is no way in hell he would be available for her.

Plus, even if he happened to be free, it will be a miracle for him to say yes to her request.

She was a nobody really. He has never even looked at her even once, even when all her attention had always been on him.

His cold eyes followed her every move, waiting for her to speak. Good lords, what does she say now? How does she even tell him how she feels?

"I- I am Maru," she blushed, hearing herself stutter. Fuck it all, she was so nervous she couldn't seem to come up with words.
