“While he was trying to escape the hound-like horse, he saw the hidden tower. He climbed the tower, seeking refuge. Rapunzel hits him on the head.” Shinai stopped reading. 
Her and the others waited for Sienna to do something but she was just swinging the pan. They waited. All the eyes were on her now. Sienna smiled sheepishly. The clang of pan was heard because she dropped it on the floor. Their Rapunzel didn’t get their Flynn be knocked down and instead she went to Edon and was trying to kiss his cheek. The people gasp. It was a turn of event, most of them stared at Sienna in shock. 
Roone started muttering his curses at Sienna. He was getting impatient. Sienna was such a slow poke for doing the most-awaited act of all times. Flynn getting knocked down by Rpaunzel was his favourite seen. He started getting mad for not getting what was expected of their chosen actress. 
“This is not Snow White.” Roone shouted. Roone did not give his attention to the people inside the class. He marched towards the actors and snatched the blond wig off Sienna’s head because of annoyance. 
“Arghhhhh!” Sienna frustaringly shouted when the wig got snatched on her hair. 
“What is your problem?” She could not forgive him for doing something like it. She was glaring, shooting daggers on Roone. “I will kill you!” She went to him and latched her body on him. 
The two of them ended up fighting in front of the class. A total riot happened among the two of them. 
Nai was holding the umbrella while she was walking home after her class. The ruckus made their teacher’s blood boil and they were advice to the play again the next day. The situation got her entangled into a web of exhaustion. She was also tired from the practice. It’s for the sign and dance presentation for a contest. They practiced the song for their jingle.
She remembered Ian and how he cheered for her and said, “Go baby.” While he was staring directly, she grimaced at the thought of it. It’s giving her the creeps. He was so happy when Shinai went down the stage that he repeatedly said those words. 
Happy smiles and claps from her classmates were the ones she received when she went down the stage. She’ll be also performing a song for the program. She went towards them. Ian doesn’t look like he deeply minded what he said to her while she was singing on stage. He was giggling.
“I was just teasing you, Nai.” He pointed at Edon while he was still making laughing sounds. 
They both stared at each other, Nai and Edon. She can the gap, there’s something happening between the two of them. Edon met her eyes. Nai can still see the light in his stare. She felt relieved after meeting his gaze. 
“You better win the award.” He said at her. 
Someone called him. 
“Let’s talk later.” Edon said and went to Sage who was his teammate. Sage was holding the paddles. Shinai thought that they’ll probably play table tennis. Edon is a player of that sport. 
Nai decided that she doesn’t have any more things do in school and that she’ll go home to rest instead. She shot Ian a glance who was smiling at her. 
“Are you okay now?” Ian was staring at her, his stare insinuating something. Shina shook her head at him but her mouth was flashing a wide smile. She was shaking her head. She couldn’t believe that Ian did something to make her feel better. She excused herself and went to their classroom.
She kept walking. She have to make this fast. She’s been dying to flipped through their television channel and have a cup of hot cocoa on her hands. Her hands wrapped on the umbrella, securing it before her eyes checked the sky. Her idea fits with the weather today. It made her feel better that her feet were exchanging their paces in fast movement. 
Overlapping paths, the thought made her looked towards someone who was pulling his bike amidst the downpour. He was talking to the vendor of the sidewalk. His back was the one Shinai can see. She couldn’t see him clearly so she stared only at his back and turned to the other side and walked towards it. She kept walking unto she can feel that someone was riding his bicycle beside her as she was walking. 
She stared at the guy. The guy was staring at her, making Nai feeling his stare as such unsettling way of staring at someone because the guy was staring at her that she was someone who is ridiculously looking. He was staring at her with the same in degree of strength in his stare. He was laughing but Nai can still see his eyes as something that is intense, very deep like the dark waters during a storm. He was staring at her that he started shaking her head at her. 
Her forehead knotted. She observed him. Thankfully he stopped staring at her and his eyes were now back, looking at the way ahead. Why does he stare at her like that?
A gasp followed by a startled reaction came from her. She remembered something. She get it know, the reason why he wasn’t able to stop himself to laugh after seeing her face. She cupped her head. She forgot to remove the thing on her head. She was still wearing the hat cut into a grape-shaped one. She crinkled her nose for a bit. It does really look like a grape. She grabbed the hat and held it. She saw the guy’s eyes flickered in happiness, shook his head and took up some speed to move his bike. He left Nai behind. 
Shinai looked at him. He was riding his bike and the rain didn’t even have an effect on him. What is wrong with him? The other day he looks like he’s a member of a triad group radiating an aura of dark emission but now he acted like a goofball why he was stared at her. He was fast because now he’s nowhere to be seen. Nai hurried too. She still needs to watch her favourite show.
