"How is school? If you need anything, tell your Uncle and me, we will do anything to help you," says Audrey to Naara.
"Everything is fine, Auntie. I don't need anything right now. Don't worry, if something comes up, I'll definitely let you know," replies Naara as she stroked Audrey's cheek gently.
A smile rises on the middle-aged woman's face hearing the words of her niece, whom she already considers her own daughter.
"Alright then," Audrey smiles warmly at the beautiful girl standing in front of her.
Naara stands up, takes her bag, and wears the cheap flat shoes she bought five months ago from the
salary of her part-time job at a cake shop.
"I have to go now, Auntie. I promised to see my lecturer. Love you, Auntie." Naara kisses Audrey's cheeks and hurries to her campus.
☆☆☆
Naara Kiva is a 21 years old third-year student majoring in Art and Humanities in one of the best universities in the city of Bonn, North of Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Despite being of Australian and British descent, she lives in Germany. She moved to the country after her parent's death when she was still in Junior High School, and she has been staying with her aunt and uncle, Audrey and Kenneth, since then.
Fortunately, she was accepted into one of the public universities which exempt tuition for local students. She is only required to pay a small administrative fee as the only expense for her schooling.
Naara is also one of the most outstanding students on her campus. The girl has always maintained good grades. Even then, she's a sociable student. She isn't the type of nerd who only focuses on her studies without caring for her surroundings.
The cost of living is quite high, so Naara uses her free time to work part-time at a cake shop and becomes a freelance model for her friends.
☆☆☆
"Naara!" someone yells from behind her.
Naara hears the voice, but she pretends not to. Occasionally playing tricks on someone isn't a big deal. She continues to walk on. A tap on her shoulder stops her feet. A wide palm presses on her, and she suppresses down a smile.
"Oh, damn. Were you playing with me, hm? I yelled quite loudly, so there's no way you didn't hear me." The oriental-looking man grumbles beside her.
"I didn't hear anything," she lies with a blank expression.
The man runs his fingers through his hair as he struggles to catch his breath after walking in a hurry to catch up to her.
Naara can't hold her smile seeing the annoyed look on her best friend's face, whom she secretly has a crush on. The lovely girl takes some tissue from her bag and offers it to him.
"Sorry for making you sweat so early in the morning," she says with a mischievous smile.
"I knew it. You were playing with me, weren't you?" Xion complains of a big smile on his face as he wipes the sweat off his forehead.
☆☆☆
Tibra Xion, the handsome man of Chinese and French descent, has been Naara's best friend since Senior High School. Xion was the first to befriend Naara since she moved to Germany, and eventually, they became best friends.
"So, you're mad at me?" asks Naara to Xion.
He turns to look at her and shakes his head slowly. "Nah. I don't wanna talk to you cause you're a menace."
"Tch, what a sulky man," Naara mocks. The brunette then walks faster to leave Xion behind.
Throughout their way to class, Naara catches the voices of the university girls coquettishly greeting Xion from behind. Undeniably, Xion is one of the most attractive men on campus. The guy is friendly and also known to be helpful. Annoyance and jealousy soar in Naara's heart, but she can't do anything but keep quiet. She doesn't want to ruin the friendship that has been built for years. Xion embraces her from behind, startling the girl. A blush appears on Naara's cheeks.
The girl immediately dismisses his embrace and puts on a flat face, covering her true feelings.
Xion shows her a box of chocolate in his hands.
"Chocolate from a fan?" asks Naara. He nods.
"I didn't have the heart to refuse," he says. She responds with an "Oh."
"Have you told Auntie about the comparative study course Mr. Kellan offered us?" asks Xion.
Naara sits in one of the seats in the corridor as she sighs before she replies.
"I haven't said anything," she says, fiddling with her fingers.
The slanted-eyed man takes a seat next to her. "Why? Isn't the course free? We don't have to pay any fees to enter."
Naara stares closely into his eyes, a hesitant and thoughtful expression on her face.
"I don't want to burden my uncle and aunt to pay for my living fees for three months in Berlin. The salary for my photoshoot will only be paid after two months. Last week I also spent my part-time salary on buying some books." Naara reveals.
Xion gently takes her hand, leading her heart to run wild.
"I'll be with you during the whole time in Berlin. There's no need to worry, Naara Dear," he speaks softly.
"I don't want to study alone by myself there. I'll miss you a lot if we stay apart. I'll talk with you to your uncle and aunt if they don't let you go,"
"Think of the new friends and experiences we'll be able to get. Come on. Haven't you always dreamed of being able to study in the best university in the country? Not to mention it's for free," he coaxes.
Naara snorts in annoyance. "You're so good at coaxing and persuading people. Aren't you just looking to flirt with people there?" she quips.
Xion pinches her nose, making her glare at him. "Are you jealous? You're worried a rival will appear? Oh ... come on, you'll always have a special place in my heart, darling."
"You're so gross," Naara pretends to shudder, even though she is pleased to hear his words.
"So, you're making the offer, right?" whines Xion.
Naara laughs, amused by his childish antics.
"We'll see." She says in the end.
☆☆☆
After a long talk and discussion with her uncle and aunt, Naara accepts Mr. Kellan's offer.
Unexpectedly, her family is enthusiastic and thrilled to hear of Naara getting such a rare opportunity. Kenneth, Naara's uncle, drives them to Berlin soon, looking for places for her to live in the city. They do not rent a luxurious apartment, merely a small and modest flat, but it is enough to make Naara happy and very thankful.
Beste University of Berlin becomes the chosen university for Naara and Xion to study for the next three months. For Naara, this is truly a golden opportunity that she cannot afford to miss. To be able to enroll in university with a scholarship isn't an easy feat. This time, she is given an opportunity by her university to study for free here. It's like a dream come true.
"Whoa ... it feels like a dream to be able to step my foot here. Amazing place!" exclaims Naara
enthusiastically as she enters the spacious and luxurious campus.
"Why do we only have to stay for three months? We should stay until we graduate. I'll surely look so cool," hearing Xion's words, Naara hits his arm hard.
"Look, this is more than enough for us. So, save the complaints, womanizer," she warns him.
"Alright, dear," he replies, making her heart run wild again.
The two of them walk, following the directions of the campus map held in Naara's hand. Finally, they arrive at a library according to the directions from the main campus building.
They are welcomed by a student who has been waiting for their arrival. A beautiful dark blonde girl shows off her dimples as she smiles and approaches Naara and Xion.
"Hi... let me introduce myself. I'm Stephanie, and you can call me Hanie. The two of you must be Naara Kiva and Tibra Xion, am I right?" The girl introduces herself as a conversation starter. Naara smiles as she shakes her hand.
"Hello, I'm Naara Kiva. You can call me Naara. It's nice to meet you, Hanie," says Naara.
"I'm Tibra Xion. Call me Xion. Nice meeting you." Xion follows after.
"I've been appointed to show you guys around the campus," Hanie explains.
They start a mini-tour around the campus. Hanie dutifully explains the details of every corner of the campus. The last thing she wants is for Naara or Xion to get lost while walking on their own to find the study room.
The campus is huge and can be quite confusing to new arrivals like Naara and Xion, but they do their best to remember every place on the campus. After around 48 minutes of walking, Naara interrupts Hanie's mini-tour.
"Hanie, is there a toilet around?" asks Naara as they stop walking for a moment.
"Ah, of course. It shouldn't be too far from here. You can walk past those two rooms over there and turn left. Or do you want me to come with you?" asks Hanie.
"It would be better if you do. She often gets lost, even on our own campus. She forgets a lot." jokes Xion, leading Naara to give his shoulder a small punch.
"Alright, then we'll go to the toilet first." Hanie tucks Naara's arm in hers as if they have been old friends with no awkwardness.
"Don't wander around. Sit here nicely. Hanie and I are only leaving for a bit, don't try to flirt around." Naara warns him, making Hanie laugh.
☆☆☆
The students' toilet is quite spacious, and it's immaculately spotless that Naara makes a sucking noise on her tongue, amazed when she steps in. The space between the sinks and the cubicles is quite wide.
"This is the best toilet I've ever seen," she mumbles. Hanie smiles as she hears it.
"I'll wait for you right here," says Hanie as she washes her hands in the sink. Naara walks towards the cubicles.
Yet, before she can step inside a cubicle, she becomes shocked as an inappropriate scene appears.
A woman is kneeling in front of a tall man. Inadvertently, the man meets Naara's eyes. He stands there leaning against the wall with a bored look on his face.
Naara shakes her head, slowly backing off as she tries to calm her rushing heartbeat. Her heart is thumping so loudly that it feels like it might jump out of her ribcage.
The man pushes the kneeling woman's head away and takes a tissue paper. While Naara rushes to leave the place quickly, he's leisurely zipping up his pants.
"What a lunatic!" Naara cusses. She surprises Hanie as she quickly grabs her and runs off the toilet.
"Hey... calm down, Naara. What's going on with you?" Hanie pulls her to a stop. Naara's face is red as she struggles to soothe her anger.
"There's a guy inside. Oh, and he's doing perverted things with his girlfriend. God, my eyes are ruined now. Damn it," Naara explains, still shaking a little.
Hanie turns around and finds a trendy guy in Berlin staring back at her. No! He's looking at Naara like she's the one who disturbed him.
"Adelrado..." Hanie murmurs.
"Is that the guy you saw?" Hanie whispers. Naara turns around to find the man she saw inside the cubicle and quickly turns away.
"Yes, that pervert. Damn it!" Naara cusses again.
"Don't get involved with him. Forget you saw anything just now," suggests Hanie.
"Why? Who is he?" asks Naara innocently.
"You don't know who he is? Are you sure? He's probably more famous than the top actor in this country." Naara shakes her head, not understanding.
"He's Adelrado Cetta Early. He just finished his Master's Degree in International Business.
Management, and it seems like he's going to take his doctorate next. He's a very famous young entrepreneur who's extremely wealthy, not to mention his nearly perfect physique. So many women are close to him, yet no one lasts more than three days. He dislikes being denied anything, and he's callous. That's why you should avoid him than to seek trouble with him," Hanie explains.
Naara shakes her head disbelievingly. "As if there isn't any other guy."
"There are many guys. But none of them are handsome, smart, and rich the way Adelrado is," Hanie replies.
"Are you one of the girls who like him?" asks Naara.
"I used to be, but not anymore. I'm sure I'm not the type he likes," Hanie says easily.
"You should be careful not to fall in love with him," Hanie warns Naara.
"Huh? Me? No way. I'm not gonna fall for him. There are far more attractive guys than him. That perverted guy is so not my type," Naara replies.
"Hmm... really? Is it because you already have Xion, so you think this way," Hanie guesses.
Naara becomes nervous in an instant, not knowing what to do. Hanie doesn't realize the change in her expression.
"Let's forget about this. Xion must be tired of waiting already." Naara tries to switch the topic of their conversation.
Hanie understands, and she nods.
The two then walk back to the place where they left Xion by himself.
☆☆☆
The man whose activity was disrupted by Naara leans on a wall, his sharp eyes watching the back of his new target.
"An unfamiliar face. Looks suitable to be my new plaything. Let's have some fun together," whispers Adelrado with a smirk on his handsome face.
Naara taps on Xion's shoulders, inviting disapproving looks from the people currently talking to Xion. She is used to this familiar treatment she always gets from the women enchanted by Xion's friendly charm.
Xion turns then puts his hands on his hips as he stands facing Naara and Hanie.
"Oh my God, where have you been? I nearly died from boredom waiting here," he protests.
Naara snorts in annoyance hearing Xion's words which do not match reality. The guy looks pleased to be able to meet new girls on campus.
"Oh, really? Weren't you having fun with your new girlfriends? Where exactly are you getting bored?" says Naara sarcastically.
Xion awkwardly scratches his neck, while Hanie laughs hearing Naara's quip.
"Don't sulk. Your face will turn ugly," Xion teases as he pinches Naara's nose.
Naara slaps his hand away and rolls her eyes. Xion turns back to the group of beautiful girls he just met, saying goodbyes and promising to talk to them again the next time he sees them around. The girls look disappointed as they stare at Naara in contempt. In turn, Naara ignores the sinister looks she's getting.
The three of them continue on their mini-tour. They stop by the bleachers of the indoor gym to take a seat. The noisy cheers catch their attention. Xion starts to enthusiastically watch the futsal game, while Naara and Hanie sit to drink and eat the snacks they brought.
Naara's eyes roam around the large and well-equipped gym. Her gaze stops at a familiar face staring back at her. Naara tries to remember who the man is until her eyes widen.
"Oh, shit!" she cusses as she realizes the identity of the man sitting surrounded by three girls. Xion doesn't seem to hear her, while Hanie who sits next to her turns to look at her.
"What's wrong?" asks Hanie confused.
Naara gestures at Hanie to follow her gaze and the blonde girl curses as she understands what Naara meant.
"Shit! Why is Adelrado staring this way with that look? Don't tell me, he's got his eyes on you," Hanie hisses.
"You know, when Adelrado Cetta Early stares at you closely and sharply like this, there are two possibilities." Hanie pauses and Naara frowns as she waits for Hanie to continue.
"What possibilities?" asks Naara curiously.
Hanie sucks her soft drink empty. Then she turns fully to Naara.
"The first possibility, it's because he hates the person, and he's getting ready to absolutely demolish them. The second possibility is he wants something from them, which he will get at all costs. He's a cruel and dangerous player. When you have business with him, he doesn't care if you're a man or a woman, so be ready to be thrown to hell. I hope you don't get involved with him, Naara. It's absolutely terrifying," Hanie explains in length and detail.
Naara shudders listening to her words. She remembers what happened in the toilet just a few hours ago. She prays in her heart to not get in trouble with the cruel lecher. She's not ready to fall into hell on earth. The man has a sweet smile on his face, enchanting everyone who looks at him so their brains and hearts stop working properly. It's no wonder he can easily seduce any woman he wants without even trying, Naara included. The woman has to admit that the handsome Adelrado has his own undeniable charm. Adelrado really fits the nickname of a handsome devil.
"I don't like his smile," Naara mumbles, contradicting the true content of her heart which praises the bastard's handsome face. Xion turns and sits his butt right next to Naara.
"What are you talking about, hm? Whose smile do you not like?" Xion asks curiously.
Hanie answers his question. "Adelrado. That guy over there sitting surrounded by three girls. He's a campus alumnus and I heard he's going to get his doctorate. He's a successful billionaire in Germany. He's the biggest sponsor of this campus. He's very dangerous, so don't go looking for trouble with him if you don't want to be sorry and ruined." she explains to Xion.
"I don't even care who he is and I have no interest in getting involved with him," says Naara as she grips her bottle of mineral water.
"That's good. I also hope you don't fall in love with him. It's better to look for other men-- ah right! Don't tell me you already have an ideal man who you're aiming for this whole time?" Hanie teases, her words disturbing Xion who is quietly listening.
Naara glares at Hanie who smiles teasingly at her. Xion looks at Naara closely.
"You have someone you like? Do I know the guy? Why didn't you tell me?" Xion prattles at Naara.
Naara looks down as she tries to stabilize her rowdy heartbeats. Should she be honest on her feelings for Xion now? But what will happen if she tells him the truth? Their friendship will be ruined if they fight as a couple just like what usually happens to other people, right? Naara doesn't want to lose Xion. She is even willing to hold back her feelings just to keep this friendship between the two of them.
"No one! Hanie is just teasing me. She's just joking. Isn't that so, Han?" Naara prays for Hanie to go along with her, but the girl with cute dimples just remains quiet and smiles mysteriously.
Xion is dissatisfied by Naara's answer. He feels like his best friend is hiding something from him. Why can't the girl be open with him regarding this matter?
Xion hates being curious. He's going to try and find out, look for information on which lucky guy his best friend has a crush on. His heart is disturbed restless, but he chooses to stay quiet.
☆☆☆
Adelrado can't wait to tease her next plaything. The woman is quite interesting. She has a beautiful face, her lips which are quite thick look sexy, and her body shape is quite proportional. She can easily enter the list of Adelrado's girlfriend candidates, but before that, he needs to make sure whether she deserves it or she is the same as the other cheap girls who come to him to offer themselves freely.
"So, what time should I go to the hotel tonight?" asks the blonde woman running her hand on
Adelrado's chest.
The man glances sharply at the hand resting on his chest. The other woman sitting below him is caressing the family jewels tucked neatly in his pants. This is disgusting to Adelrado. Too cheap, there is no challenge at all. Their self-respect can be bought with money, or even with a hot kiss. Adelrado harshly jerks away from the women's roaming hands. He's starting to feel nauseous and disgusted by their worsening behavior.
"Stay away from me, bitch! Don't get close anymore, or I'll destroy every single one of you. You're sickening me," Adelrado snaps.
The women stand and swallow hard. It looks like Adelrado isn't in a good mood. They quickly run off before the man yells again and starts doing horrible things to them.
Adelrado's hands clench hard as his clear blue eyes stare at his next toy walking away with another man who doesn't match her in any way.
"I'm going to destroy anyone who stands in my way," Adelrado hisses. The man stands, he would rather go to his company building than wasting more time sitting on campus.
The learning activities in her new campus take all of Naara's focus. She follows every class diligently. Her heart is pleased to be able to learn at the prestigious university as the day is approaching noon, Naara steps outside the class to find Xion.
Today, Xion and her have different classes. The girl lightly steps along the corridor, looking for the classroom where Xion or Hanie are, the two being the only ones Naara knows in the new campus aside from the few students sharing classes with her. Naara's lovely eyes once again find herself face to face with the dangerous man Hanie warns her about. The man is wearing a black suit that makes him look handsome and mysterious. She shakes her head, getting rid of the thoughts praising the perverted lecher. Naara dreads falling for the man or having anything to do with him. Adelrado stands not far away from Naara's class on purpose, paying close attention when the beautiful girl walks towards where he's leaning against the wall.
Actually, today he has a tight schedule for meetings at his company, but he takes some time just to come by and give a look at his new plaything. Adelrado smiles crookedly, watching Naara deliberately avoiding him. The fear in her face thrills him.
"Just wait. We'll see whether you'll be able to escape my charm?" Adelrado mumbles.
Naara turns away and accidentally meets Hanie and her friend.
"Hi, Naara," Hanie greets enthusiastically.
Naara smiles widely, seeing Hanie and the girl next to her.
"Hi," Naara greets back.
"Naara, let me introduce you to my best friend. This is Caroline." Naara puts her hand forward to shake Caroline's hand, which the girl returns nicely.
"Hi, I'm Naara Kiva. It's nice to meet you, Caroline," says Naara. Caroline replies in kind.
"Where are you going?" asks Hanie to Naara.
"I'm looking for Xion. Have you seen him?" Naara asks back.
"I don't know where he is. I haven't seen him today. Do you want me to come with you looking for him? Or do you want to come with us to the library?" Hanie asks again.
"I'll just come with you," Naara decides.
The three women start walking to the library while making small talks about their lecturers and the difference in how they teach. While they're busy talking, Naara catches Xion's figure in her eyes. The man is closely talking to a few girls. Annoyance and jealousy once again rise uncontrollably in her heart. She burns with jealousy as she sees one of the girls talking to Xion, hugging his arm tightly, unheeded by the man.
"What an irritating man!" Naara mutters, heard by Hanie and Caroline.
Hanie nudges Naara's arm as she teases. "You're jealous seeing Xion with those girls?"
Naara turns at her and widens her eyes, then quickly shakes her head strongly, not knowing what to do.
"I'm not jealous," she denies.
Coincidentally Xion is turning this way, and he quickly says goodbye to the girls he was talking to. Xion walks towards Naara. The girl chooses to look away. Her heart is filled with annoyance, but there is nothing she can do about it.
"Naara!" Xion calls, but the girl walks away without heeding the calls of her best friend.
Xion's voice then disappears, drowned in the clamorous voices of the girls surrounding him. The girls beg for him to come with them and watch the inter-faculty basketball match in the indoor gym. Naara sighs, so lost in her mind that she walks past Hanie and Caroline. The scholarship grantee is holding herself back from exploding in the anger that stews since she saw Xion so close to other girls. Hanie and Caroline can only shake their heads, seeing what's happening in front of them.
"Woah! They really match each other," Caroline mumbles, making Hanie turns to look at her best friend.
"Who are you talking about, Car?" asks Hanie curiously.
"Naara and-- ouch, shit!" Caroline curses as she loses her balance, accidentally struck by the horde of girls screaming Adelrado's name.
"They're always acting like barbarians once they stand in a radius from Adelrado. Such uncivilized, violent women!" Hanie growls as she glares at the group of women following that lecherous guy, Adelrado.
"Forget about them. Let's chase after Naara," Caroline suggests as she tries to appease the angry Hanie.
"You haven't answered my question, Carol." Hanie reminds her.
"It's not clear and certain yet. I'm afraid to say it now. I just saw something that you surely won't like, so forget about it," replies Caroline, causing Hanie to sigh.
Caroline has an accurate sixth sense, 90% of what she says will usually happen.
☆☆☆
In the end, Naara arrives first at the library. The girl steps in, and without further ado, she quickly moves to find her books.
The campus library is very spacious and grand. The book collection is very comprehensive. It's just that the wide space doesn't match the number of its visitors. There are only a few tens of students there, as most students prefer to browse for data through the internet and sit at the campus garden compared to reading a thick heavy book. Naara combs through a few bookshelves. Hand and eyes coordinating in concentration to find the book she's looking for. A lovely smile blooms on the girl's face as she finds what she's looking for.
Naara pulls a book from the shelf. But the book does not remain in her hands as it falls into the ground, along with a few other books. Her trembling hands cover her mouth as she quickly turns around with her back against the bookshelf. Still trembling, Naara sits down and picks up the books she dropped as she tries to leave as quickly as she can. She scrambles to put the books back disorderly as she grumbles.
"Shit! Why are they doing it in this place? And why do I even have to see it again? That jerk! My eyes are ruined, again and again-asshole!" Naara grumbles.
For the second time, Naara catches Adelrado doing inappropriate things. The man has a fierce kiss with a woman dressed skimpily. The redhead kisses Adelrado with such fierceness, like a hungry lioness, while Adelrado is merely standing calmly, following the rhythm set by the woman as he squeezes her big ass which Naara is quite sure is fake Naara's heart beats wildly. Her lips feel numb, having that wild scene play out before her eyes. The kiss isn't the only reason for Naara's speeding heartbeats, the biggest factor being Adelrado's sharp look, as before she manages to escape, their eyes find each other for a moment. At the same place, the hot kiss turning bland all of a sudden, Adelrado quickly finishes up with the woman whose name he does not even care to know. The handsome man pushes away the woman he just shared a kiss with until she falls on the floor. It won't be Adelrado if he cares about some woman.
Relaxed, he walks away as he wipes his mouth with a handkerchief. The man's eyes never once leave the silhouette of his target. The pretty woman who once again finds him wet. Wet on his lips and wet down there. It's adorable to see her reddening face holding back her anger and embarrassment.
☆☆☆
Adelrado's eyes roam every corner of the library, searching for the woman named Naara Kiva. He is sure the woman has not yet left the library. He's proven to be right, as he found his target sitting on a table with her head down.
"It's good I didn't rush to hurry back to my office," Adelrado murmurs as he leans against a bookshelf.
"When the time is right, I will soon have you trapped within my kingdom, Naara Kiva." adds the devil in an angel's skin. Adelrado's gaze meets Hanie, Caroline, and Xion, who has just entered the library. The man crosses his arms in front of his chest with a blank expression-both Hanie and Caroline duck away from Adelrado's gaze. Xion does not recognize Adelrado, so he ignores the man's stare and approaches Naara, who still has her head down on the table.
"What are you doing?" asks Xion, tapping her shoulder.
The woman raises her head quickly, both surprised and pleased to find Xion's presence.
"What are you doing?" repeats Xion. Naara shakes her head.
"I'm not doing anything. Why are you here? And- hey, Hanie, Carol, why are you just standing there?" asks Naara, confused.
Hanie and Caroline simultaneously shake their heads blankly.
Adelrado approaches Naara and Xion while the two are talking. Just as Xion is about to greet Adelrado, the man stops right behind Naara. Xion glares fiercely at him while Hanie and Caroline cover their mouths with their hands to hold back a gasp.
Adelrado taps Naara's back, making the woman turn back suddenly. Within seconds, Adelrado leans down to plant his lips on hers. Naara's eyes widen as she cannot dodge. The man smiles against her lips. Two strong hands pull his shoulders away from Naara. A punch from Xion lands on the man's stomach. Adelrado clicks his tongue as he smirks despite the hit on his stomach, while Naara clenches her fists as she tries to hold back tears.
"Asshole! How dare you kiss her!" Xion yells angrily.
Adelrado rolls his eyes as he tucks his hands in the pockets of his pants.
"You don't have any right to forbid me. Who are you?" he hisses.
Xion wants to land another punch on Adelrado's face, but it is blocked by the handsome man in a black shirt.
"Don't tempt me to destroy you," Adelrado whispers to Xion. He winks at Naara, who is still frozen like a statue, and walks away.
Adelrado lets out a whistle as he casually leaves the campus.
"Sweet! I like her," Adelrado murmurs as he smiles and caresses his lips with his thumb.
