morning*
Amethyst eyes shut open slowly due to the reflection of light that force its way through the hold of the closed curtain and shone brightly on her face. Her head tilt sideways, memories from last night rushing back to her head, then her gaze landed on the figure that knelt on the floor, head rested on the bed and hand holding hers though asleep.
She tried sitting up, but the pain from yesterday grip her, causing her to fall back on the bed, yowling in pain. Her sudden movement and painful cry make way into Lucky's ear which woke him up from his sleep and he raises his head sharply.
'Are you okay?' he asked with creased brow. He stood up and bends his back to look at her face worriedly then help her up when she tried to stand up.
Her body was numb and the pain she felt yesterday had doubled, her life more than miserable.
'I… I'm fine, thanks.' She replied, her voice low. Her throat was hurting due to all the shouting she made yesterday. Her head bowed as lucky sat beside her on the bed. She felt shy, ridiculous and guilty.
'I'm sorry; I couldn't let you sleep properly at the comfort of your home, I apologize.' She said, her head still bowed but lucky said nothing. He pick up the cup that was on the night stool and carried the jug that was on it. He poured water into the cup and pass it to Amethyst.
'Your voice is not yet clear, drink some.' he said and she raises her head reluctantly.
'Thanks.' She appreciated and she accepts the water, gulping it down.
'Did you need anything for now?' He asked as she finishes the water in the cup while she nodded negatively.
'I would leave now and come back with pain killers, hold on till then, I would soon be back.' He said while Amethyst nodded positively.
'Thanks.' She bowed slightly and he stood up, glance at her once again then walk out of the room. Amethyst's gaze escorts him as he walks out of the room. She sits right on the bed, her brow creasing. He appears to be ….. Nice.

'Let's go get lunch together, shall we?' He asked, turning to look at Amethyst who sat still. The bell for lunch was rung now and student troop out of the class while she sat still.
She look down at the table as he spoke, her brow creasing, should she accept or not?
'it's okay if you don't feel like, I would leave first.' He said and stood up to leave but pause when he felt something holding him back.
'Let's have lunch together, bills on me.' She said. That serves as paying him back. She cannot give him her heart but can at least buy him drink.
He smiled and turn back to look at her.
'okay, lead the way then young lady.' He said, bowing his head a bit while Amethyst smiled and lead the way, heading to the cafeteria.

'Those two, they are together again, don't you notice it?'
Their sudden closeness was notice by the whole student but it hadn't become too loud because of some factors. Everybody still doubts.
Are they together?
Are they dating? Or are they just friends?
Did Nathan later break up with her?
Have you all notice the spark in her eyes?
It looks like they are falling in love
This and that, it comes and goes.
It had been a complete month since lucky arrive at school but within that short period of time, him and Amethyst had become closer. At lunch, they are together, in the garden, they are together, in the class, they are together, here and there, they are together. Whenever you see Amethyst, lucky is surely distance away, following her around and Amethyst, who was once turning to a demon, cold and lonely was now cheerful, smiling recently. He always make sure that he do something funny, just to make her smile and slowly, Nathan fades off her head.
Nathaniel's head tilted toward Amethyst who was laughing loudly, obviously, lucky had just pulled one of his cheesy jokes. He frowned slightly, something invisible pricking his heart.
What's wrong with him?
Why is he expecting her to look at him?
Before, he can't wait to rip out her groggy eyes that always stare at him nonstop but now, he can't wait to see her look at him, just a glance but the cruel Lucky guy took all of her attention. She became too busy that she does not seem to remember him. Why does it hurts?
Is she going to give up on him and fall for the big headed Lucky guy? Didn't she say she love him so much and would walk through all challenges with him? Is she giving up now?
"Huh! And it all thanks to that stupid Unlucky guy" He snorted, gazing at lucky heatedly.

'Brainac, I have to rely on your brain that hold in those big chemistry words for my assignment or else that austere teacher won't spare me this time.' Lucky, unaware of the thousand dagger that someone's eyes was shooting at him said while Amethyst rolled her eyes, her lips a bit pouted.
'You're bullying me into doing your assignment again, aren't you?' she said, her voice free and childish.
'Yu can't say that Ammy, I would pay you back this time. I would treat you to a meal, using my card.' He said, waving his card in his hand.
'oh yeah, the last time you said that, you suddenly loose your card.' She said sarcastically, looking down at the book in her hand.
'oh please, I'm begging. I surely wont loose it this time, I won't forget it in my room either. Even if I do, I would run back to pick it up. Just please. Help your seatmate out.' He said meekly, his eyes mesmerizing at tone seducing, winking at her while Amethyst rolled her eyes gain, her lips pouted. He knew she can't resist such puppy-dog eye.
'Okay.' She replied while he smiled brightly and his hand move up swiftly , ruffling her hair.
'Good girl.' He muttered, smiles in his eyes while Amethyst shook her head, shutting him the look of "Just this last time" but… just distance away, someone was burning with the fire of jealousy.
He even had the gut of touching her head.
Such nerves!
