"Elysia," A beautiful girl waved her hands towards Elysia, who was sitting in the back row of the class. Elysia focused on the book on the table and looked so happy while reading it.
Elysia will ignore everyone around her every time she focuses on something such as her favorite anime, film, movie, novel, and anything she loves. She will also forget about her surroundings when she studies hard.
Elysia had long, beautiful hair around her waist. Her skin is as white as snow, and her eyes are as blue as the ocean. Her rep lips are as beautiful as a red rose. She looked so beautiful even though she was only sitting there doing what she loved.
"Elysia, how can you ignore me for reading your favorite novel? Am I important or that novel for you?" Leona was irritated because Elysia would forget about her after reading her novel.
Elysia closed the novel and turned her gaze at Leona. "Don't be exaggerated like that. I won't forget my best friend since childhood. Why do you look so happy?"
"Elysia, there is good news for you," Leona was too energetic about this news, and she couldn't stop smiling from the beginning.
"I don't have time to hear about your new gossip. Who is it this time? How handsome is he to make you like a madman? You hear me out. Is he as handsome as Midorima Shintarou?"
Leona shook her head with a dumbfounded look. Elysia would always force her to watch anime together, and she finally entered the otaku's world after seeing Roronoa Zoro. Of course, she also watched every anime that Elysia recommended to her.
"Is he as clever as Akashi Seijuurou? Bla Bla," Elysia kept mentioning every handsome 2D man she knew. It made Leona couldn't utter any words to refute her.
Leona raised her hand to stop Elysia's nagging, "It is different this time. It is surely good news for you."
"Leona, you are always enthusiastic every time you see a handsome man. I already have enough of that kind of nonsense. No one is handsome except Midorima Shintarou," Elysia smiled proudly at Leona.
"Why do you look so proud over him? He isn't even real," Leona glared at Elysia.
"I don't care about that. I only need Midorima Shintarou in my life. Your husband is not even real either," Elysia turned her head in a bad mood. "Zoro is different from any other man. He is so handsome even when he does nothing," Leona said with a proud look on her face.
Leona didn't want to continue their weird cold war. It would be awkward if she kept making Elysia angry. "Brother Gilbert comes back from abroad. I saw him in the class next door."
Elysia was silent for a moment before hiding her face in her hands. She couldn't hide her expression at this moment. She felt happy, but she also felt sad at the same time.
"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?"
"It was not my fault. It was you who didn't let me finish my words."
Elysia suddenly stood up and ran outside. When she was about to go to Gilbert's class, he bumped into someone. He helped her when she was about to bump her head on the hard floor.
"You are always energetic, Elysia," A soft and gentle voice rang in Elysia's ear, making her ears itchy. A handsome and beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of Elysia.
Gilbert Renolt has a pair of beautiful purple eyes. His blonde hair shines under the light and rests lightly on his shoulder. He looks thin, but he has perfect muscles under his clothes.
"You scared me, Brother Gilbert," Elysia was surprised after seeing Gilbert's face so close.
"Long time no see, Elysia. You become more beautiful now," Gilbert helped Elysia stand up. He sweetly smiled at Elysia.
Elysia's heart was about to explode seeing Gilbert's sweet smile. He was the one she loved the most back then. She still loves him now.
"Elysia, your face is red," Gilbert reached his hand to touch Elysia's soft cheek.
Elysia avoided his touch and glared, "Stop treating me like a kid. I am a woman now. You need to see me as a woman, not a little girl like you used to be."
"You are only eighteen years old this year. Elysia, you are still a little girl in my eyes," Gilbert ignored Elysia's protest. Gilbert was two years older than Elysia, and he always looked at Elysia as his little sister.
"How about Rhina? Do you think of her as a little girl?" Elysia couldn't accept Gilbert still thought of her as a little girl.
"Don't compare yourself with Rhina. You are my younger sister, and Rhina is part of my heart," Gilbert said with an affectionate smile.
Elysia didn't know how she came back to class after that. Her eyes were empty, like half of her soul was taken away by a devil. Leona Opel was worried after seeing Elysia's blank eyes.
Leona felt guilty in her heart because she knew it was wrong for her to inform Elysia about Gilbert Renolt, Elysia's first love. But she couldn't do anything about that because Elysia was the one who wanted her to tell everything about Gilbert. Leona was also the one who brought Elysia home to guarantee her safety.
********
When Leona came back home, she dialed Cana's number. It didn't take much time for Cana to pick up her call.
"Hello, where are you right now?" Cana could hear Leona's worried tone through the phone.
"I am still abroad. I will come back this week. Did something happen to Elysia?" Cana was worried about Elysia.
"Brother Cana, you need to come back soon. Gilbert has come back today."
"I see. Thank you for telling me, Leona. I will bring some souvenirs back."
"Brother Cana, you are the best. Don't forget to bring me some local products."
"Of course, I won't forget. I will come back as soon as possible."
