QTAMW

In a cafeteria, Olivia was eating her pasta, when a boy decided to sit next to her, out of all the empty seats, "..."

"What are you thinking about?" he started to ask random questions, raising his hand, he called out to the staff to order a meal.

"Nothing," Olivia answered nonchalantly, filling her mouth with the pasta, so she didn't need to speak to him. She quickly finished her food and stood up, leaving the cafeteria.

"Are you free after school?" he asked again. He looked upon the internet on how to woo a woman. He tried to act mysteriously, to pique her interest, but it's not working. She ignored him, almost as if she had a sixth sense that he had ulterior motives!

Then, he changed tactics. He started to show his interest in her. He bought her gifts and tried to make her laugh during breaks. She did laugh at him and accepted those gifts. He saw some hope. But what did she do the next day? She went to her homeroom teacher behind his back. With and excuse that her eyesight was getting worse, the teacher agreed to her request. The result? Her seat was changed to a front row, right in front of the teacher!

And now, here he was... following her around.

Don't be scared. Olivia repeated herself. But inside, she just wanted to run away and hide, "Sorry, I have to go home."

"Am I not your fiance? It would be great to know each other before marriage to learn if we are compatible," he said.

"You are right, but I am really busy right now, sorry. If you can excuse me, I need to go to the toilet. No need to wait for me." She went to the toilets, thinking about how couldn't she just push him away like Grace.

"See you in class then," he smiled at the difficult Olivia. Was he not her type? Should he change his visage? He went back to his class, contemplating about what kind of men she liked. Maybe he should ask her sister?

❰ Host, what are you doing?❱

❝I don't even need to do anything, and somebody is already crushing on me? What a pure boy, he has such a huge crush on Olivia. How do I avoid Olivia's fiance? I can't just say... Hey, hands off!????????‍♀️ I am taken already! Right?❞

❰...❱

Olivia never showed up at the class. Her bag and books were picked up by her chauffeur. That day, both Bacchus sisters skipped class.

Olivia's fiance was so frustrated because of her. When he said hi, she took a step back. When he gave her a gift, she took ten steps back. Now, he asked her out, and she ran away! It's impossible to court someone like her!

❝Should I run away from home? Kidnap myself? Drop out of school? That would make everyone worry.❞

❝Change schools? What if he follows me? Would he follow me abroad too? In this world, everything is possible. I wouldn't be surprised if he did.❞

❝Should I just tell him? It sounds the least complicated. But I don't want to talk to him!❞ 囧

❰ Host!! What's wrong with you? Why are you so exaggerating?❱

❝I don't know!❞

❝I'm panicking every time a man shows interest in me. Usually, I can just refuse them politely or just straight ignore them.❞

❝I never came upon a situation like this. As Olivia's fiance, he is approved to do anything and nobody would find it strange!❞

❝System give me his phone number. I'm in the modern world; I should get full use of it. If I don't want to meet, then I'll just message him...❞

❰ Yes, Host.❱

::: Olivia Bacchus here.

You could have noticed that I'm avoiding you. Please, give me 2 years. After that, you can try again. During those two years, do not talk to me. Only then will I give you a chance to know about me better, of course if you'd still be interested. Thank You.::: Olivia wrote to him. After that, she blocked his number.

❝What do you think system? Is it good? When Olivia's soul comes back, they can have a fresh start! Ah, I am a genius.❞

❰ 2 years? Are you leaving after finishing the task?❱

❝Of course, my boyfriend is waiting for me.❞

Meanwhile, Olivia's fiance was reading her message. He got a straight headshot. Then he tried to reply to her and... another headshot! She blocked him! She's too much! They didn't even become friends to be friend-zoned!

After that straight forward refusal, Olivia could finally take a breath; she wasn't pestered anymore.

Subsequently, a rumor spread around; something about Ailstar's ex-fiance Grace, dating his best friend, Mark. There was a time when a handsome boy visited Grace's class during a break. Noticing his arrival, the girls began to discuss his reason for the visit.

"What is an upper-classman doing in this part of the school?!" A girl wearing a green bowtie saw his tie with blue stripes.

"He looks so cute!" A girl looked at him dreamily, "I'll go ask him what he wants." She was about to walk out to greet him, but another girl went ahead.

"No, let me go!" The girl rushed towards the boy with blond flocks, and returned soon after, exclaiming, "He is looking for Grace Bacchus?!"

'Isn't that my sister's fiance?' Thought Grace. 'What is he doing here?' She stood up and went to meet him. After a simple greeting, they walked out of the class.

"Is that Grace's boyfriend?" The girl asked doubtfully, "I thought she was dating Mark."

"Shh... It's just a rumor," another girl hushed her, gazing at Mark's direction.

*Snap* There was a pencil snapping sound coming out of Mark's hand. His pencil broke in two.

Outside of class, Grace started a conversation with her sister's fiance, "Do you need anything?"

"What type of men does your sister like?" he asked nervously.

"Ohh~ Why don't you ask it yourself?" Grace looked him up and down.

"...I tried?" he answered, showing a pitiful expression. He couldn't even greet her.

"I think she likes men similar to those in shoujo mangas. She is pretty much an otaku."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, I owe you this once." He thanked her with a smile. So she liked bad boys?

"No problem, good luck with her," said Grace. After that, she went back to class. Feeling a burning gaze, Grace turned around and saw Mark staring at her. "Who are you looking at, you stalker," she smirked at him.

Mark felt irritated, "Crazy fox, you found a new target, huh?"

As always, they were bickering with each other even during the class. The teacher had enough and punished them by writing an apology letter. Right now, they were alone in the class.

Mark turned around from his seat, asking her seriously, "Grace, should we make the rumor reality?"

"Shut up, who wants to date a creepy stalker!" shouted Grace, overreacting. When she saw how he turned in his seat, she quickly hid her expression, laying down her face on the desk. She started blushing, her heart skipping a beat.

When he saw her shy reaction his beat skipped too. After knowing her more he started to like how she tried to act strong even though she was not. She truly hid her weak self well, behind that foxy face.

"Who was he?" he asked silently while laying his face down next to her.

"Who?" she asked, still hiding herself.

"That upperclassman," he whispered in jealousy.

Grace answered cluelessly, "Oh, my sister's fiance."

He suddenly felt relieved, "...Oh..." He took her hand in his, she tried to push him away, but he didn't let go. He interlocked his fingers with hers; this time, she didn't avoid him. "Let's date," he made a statement. Their faces still lying down, too shy to look at each other.

"Don't cheat on me, or I'll kill her," she answered.

"Sure. Why not kill me?" he chuckled.

"So you can suffer more," she said, "I know, I am loud."

"That, I know too," he smiled to himself.

"I tend to get jealous," she said.

Mark smiled, "Well, me too."

The last year of school went by fast. The students were preparing themselves for their debuts as High School freshmen.

❝System, system!! We are going to meet our heroine! Ailstar prepare your heart, haha!❞
